The Company stated that it expected to file its Annual Report before April 30, 2020, however, the Company is still experiencing disruptions and delays in finalizing the audit and coordinating the information required to prepare the Annual Report. The Company plans to file its Annual Report by May 14, 2020 and continues to rely on the order (the “Order”) promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 25, 2020 in Release No. 34-88465 relating to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, to support the delay in the filing of its Annual Report. If the Company is unable file its Annual Report by May 14, 2020, the Company will file a Form 12b-25, Notification of Late Filing.

Due to the Company’s inability to file the Annual Report by April 30, 2020, the Company is unable to timely file the information for Part III (Items 10, 11, 12, 13 and 14) of the Annual Report. The Company will provide the Part III information on a Form 10-K/A to be filed by June 12, 2020. The Company is relying on the Order and Compliance and Disclosure Interpretation Question 104.18 to support the delay of the filing of the Part III information.

The Company is unable to timely file its Annual Report and Part III information due to COVID-19 related office closures impeding its employees’ ability to respond to data requests from its auditors and to complete its financial statements. In order to minimize the COVID-19 exposure risk to it employees, the Company has followed the guidelines of local health authorities in Florida and New York, where its offices and operations are located, and has provided its office employees the resources to work remotely from their homes. The change to a remote work environment has led to disruptions and delays in the coordination of information required for preparing the Annual Report. The Company is relying on the Order to afford its employees the additional time, amid the COVID-19 pandemic, to provide accurate and fully reviewed information for the Annual Report and Part III information.

The Company is supplementing the risk factors previously disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 and its subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q with the following risk factor:

Our business continuity and supply chain operations may be affected by the recent COVID-19 Pandemic

The Company has taken proactive measures to secure enough inventory to meet forecasted demand and mitigate any potential disruption to the business from COVID-19.
