Item 8.01 Other Events
As a supplier to the basic elements in the international steel and
infrastructure markets, the outbreak of COVID-19 has been
challenging for our company, vendors, customers and professional
service providers. During this time, resources have been
diverted from many aspects of the company to further the company
for sustained growth once the outbreak is contained. This
diversion of resources has led to the need to seek relief under the
Securities and Exchange Commission Order Release No.
34-88465 dated
March 25, 2020. The required 10-Q will be filed on or before
June 26, 2020.
Risk Factor: Our business may suffer from the severity or longevity
of the Coronavirus/COVID-19 Global Outbreak
As a supplier of the initial raw inputs into the global steel and
infrastructure markets, the severity or longevity of the
Coronavirus/COVID-19 global outbreak may adversely affect our
business. Our primary product relies upon the domestic and
international logistics channels. Any disruption of these
channels may cause hardships in delivering product to
customers. The demand for our product relies upon the global
use of steel and infrastructure. Shifts in global steel and
infrastructure demand may adversely affect our business. As a
public company, we rely upon the dedication of internal resources
as well as external professionals to comply with regulations.
The unavailability or diversion in professional resources may
adversely affect our business. Our board of directors and
executive management are key to the vision and operational
performance of the company. Direct infection of any member of
the board of directors or executive management may adversely affect
our business.
