Explanatory Note:

 

Timing of Filing of Annual Report on Form 20-F for the Year ended December 31, 2019

 

The Registrant will be relying on the order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 25, 2020 providing conditional relief to public companies that are unable to timely comply with their filing obligations as a result of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak (Release No. 34-88465) (the “Order”) to delay the filing of its Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2019 (the “Annual Report”) due to circumstances related to COVID-19.

As a result of the outbreak and spread of COVID-19, and government and business continuity measures adopted in response thereto, the Registrant closed its offices or had limited business operations from the Chinese New Year holiday until early March 2020. In addition, COVID-19 has caused severe disruptions in transportation, limited access to our facilities and limited support from workforce employed in the Registrant’s operations. As a result, the Registrant may experience delays in the provision of financial guarantee services and consulting services for its customers. This has hampered the ability of the Registrant to complete its financial statements and prepare the Annual Report in time to be filed by the original due date of April 30, 2020.  The Registrant expects, in reliance on the Order, to file the Annual Report with the SEC no later than June 14, 2020.

The COVID-19 outbreak affected the Registrant’s operations and financial results during the first quarter of 2020. While the impact of COVID-19 outbreak on the Registrant’s performance for the year remains to be seen, the Registrant expects it to have a material impact on its operations and financial results for fiscal 2020. 

The Registrant will include in its risk factors for the Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2019 the following new risk factors specific to COVID-19:

Public health epidemics or outbreaks such as COVID-19 could adversely impact our business.  

Our business, financial condition and results of operations may be negatively impacted by risks related to natural disasters, extreme weather conditions, health epidemics and other catastrophic incidents, such as the COVID-19 outbreak and spread, which could significantly disrupt our operations. In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) emerged in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China. The COVID-19 outbreak and spread has caused lockdowns, quarantines, travel restrictions, and closures of businesses and schools. Due to the COVID-19 outbreak, our facilities remained closed or had limited business operations after the Chinese New Year holiday until early March 2020. In addition, COVID-19 has caused severe disruptions in transportation, limited access to our facilities and limited support from workforce employed in our operations, and as a result, we may experience the delays in provision of financial guarantee services and consulting services to our customers. Although we have taken all possible measures to overcome the adverse impact derived from the COVID-19 outbreak and have resumed our normal business activities in early March 2020, it is estimated that a lower amount of revenue and profit during the period from February to April 2020. The extent to which the coronavirus impacts our results for fiscal year 2020 will depend on certain future developments, including the duration and spread of the outbreak, emerging information concerning the severity of the coronavirus and the actions taken by governments and private businesses to attempt to contain the coronavirus, all of which is uncertain at this point.
