Aftermaster Inc. (the “Company”) will be relying on the Securities and Exchange Commission's Order under Section 36 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Granting Exemptions From Specified Provisions of the Exchange Act of 1934 and Certain Rules Thereunder dated March 25, 2020 (Release No. 34-88318) (the Order) to delay the filing of its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 (the Report) due to the circumstances related to COVID-19.
In light of the current COVID-19 pandemic, the Company will be including the following Risk Factor in its Quarterly Report as of March 31, 2020:
COVID-19 Risk Factor
The Company is supplementing the risk factors previously disclosed in its most recent periodic reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 with the following risk factor:
Our financial performance and start of operations have been delayed due to the impact of the CoronaVirus pandemic which has slowed down investor funding opportunities.
The recent outbreak of a strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) in the U.S. has had an unfavorable impact on our business operations. Mandatory closures of businesses imposed by the federal, state and local governments to control the spread of the virus is disrupting the operations of our management, business and finance teams. In addition, the COVID-19 outbreak has adversely affected the U.S. economy and financial markets, which may result in a long-term economic downturn that could negatively affect future performance. The extent to which COVID-19 will impact our business and our consolidated financial results will depend on future developments which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted at the time of the filing of this Form 8-K, but we hope to limit the impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
The Company expects to file the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q in mid-June 2020 (but in any event no later than June 29, 2020, which is 45 days from the Quarterly Report’s original filing deadline of May 15, 2020).
