Explanatory Note
The consent of MaloneBailey, LLP, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, was set forth in the exhibit index to the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, originally filed on February 12, 2021 (the “Original Filing”); however, the consent was inadvertently omitted from the version filed via EDGAR. This amendment is being filed to include the consent.
Pursuant to Rule 12b-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, this Form 10-K/A also contains new certifications pursuant to Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, which are attached hereto. Because no financial statements have been included in this Form 10-K/A and this Form 10-K/A does not contain or amend any disclosure with respect to Items 307 and 308 of Regulation S-K, paragraphs 3, 4, and 5 of the certifications have been omitted.
Except as expressly set forth in this Amendment No. 1, no other changes have been made to the Original Filing, and this Form 10-K/A does not modify, amend or update in any way any of the financial or other information contained in the Original Filing. This Form 10-K/A does not reflect events that may have occurred subsequent to the filing date of the Original Filing.
