PART II — RULES 12b-25(b) AND (c)
If the subject report could not be filed without unreasonable effort or expense and the registrant seeks relief pursuant to Rule 12b-25(b), the following should be completed. (Check box if appropriate)
|
| | | | |
x | | (a) | | The reason described in reasonable detail in Part III of this form could not be eliminated without unreasonable effort or expense |
| (b) | | The subject annual report, semi-annual report, transition report on Form 10-K, Form 20-F, Form 11-K, Form N-SAR or Form N-CSR, or portion thereof, will be filed on or before the fifteenth calendar day following the prescribed due date; or the subject quarterly report or transition report on Form 10-Q or subject distribution report on Form 10-D, or portion thereof, will be filed on or before the fifth calendar day following the prescribed due date; and |
| (c) | | The accountant’s statement or other exhibit required by Rule 12b-25(c) has been attached if applicable. |
PART III — NARRATIVE
State below in reasonable detail why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, 10-D, N-SAR, N-CSR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period. (Attach extra Sheets if Needed)
The compilation, dissemination and review of the information required to be presented in the Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2018 could not be completed and filed by May 10, 2018 (pursuant to 17 CFR Section 240.15d-13(a)), without undue hardship and expense to the registrant. The registrant’s 10-Q could not be filed by the 5:30pm EST deadline on the prescribed due date since additional time was needed to fully compile the necessary financial information and to ensure complete, thorough and accurate disclosure of all material information. Accordingly, the registrant was unable to file such report within the prescribed time period without unreasonable effort or expense, but the registrant did take extraordinary effort to ensure it was filed on the prescribed day, albeit sixteen (16) minutes late. The registrant has already filed its Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2018 within the "grace" period provided by Securities Exchange Act Rule 12b-25.
