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)
|
(a) |
The reasons 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, Form11-K, Form N-CEN 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 Rule12b-25(c) has been attached if applicable. |
PART III – NARRATIVE
State below in reasonable detail the reasons why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, 10-D, N-CEN, N-CSR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.
As previously reported in the Registrant’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, the Registrant had substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern and anticipated its cash reserve to be depleted in the second quarter of 2026, after which it would not have funds with which to continue to make SEC filings. As a result, the Registrant did not anticipate being able to file its quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2026 (the “Form 10-Q”). Additionally, as disclosed in the Registrant’s Form 8-K filed April 17, 2026, the Registrant dismissed Grant Thornton LLP, its independent registered public accounting firm on April 16, 2026 and, due to cash constraints, is currently not seeking engagement of a new independent registered public accounting firm. For the foregoing reasons, the Registrant requires additional time in order to prepare and file the Form 10-Q.
It is not anticipated that the Form 10-Q will be filed on or before the fifth calendar day following the prescribed due date for the Form 10-Q; however, the Registrant intends to file the Form 10-Q at such time, if any, as the Form 10-Q is able to be completed.
