Sector 5, Inc. (OTCMKTS:SFIV) Files An 8-K Other Events
Item 8.01. Other Events.
In accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commission Order Under Section 36 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Modifying Exemptions from the Reporting and Proxy Delivery Requirements for Public Companies, SEC Release No. 34-88465, dated March 25, 2020 (the “Order”), Sector 5, Inc. (the “Company”) will be relying on the relief provided by the Order to delay the filing of its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 (the “Annual Report”) by up to 45 days. The Company expects to file the Annual Report on or before May 14, 2020. The Company’s operations and business have experienced disruption due to the unprecedented conditions surrounding the recent global outbreak of COVID-19. The Company has been following the recommendations of local government and health authorities to minimize exposure risk for its employees, including the temporary closure of its offices and having employees work remotely. As a result, the Company will not be able to timely review and prepare the Company’s financial statements for the 2019 fiscal year.
The Company is supplementing the risk factors previously disclosed in its most recent periodic reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, with the following risk factor:
The recent coronavirus outbreak could have an adverse effect on our business.
Concerns are rapidly growing about the global outbreak of a novel strain of coronavirus, COVID-19. The virus has spread rapidly across the globe, including the U.S. The pandemic is having an unprecedented impact on the U.S. economy as federal, state and local governments react to this public health crisis, which has created significant uncertainties. These uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the potential adverse effect of the pandemic on the economy, our vendors, our employees and customers and customer sentiment in general. Continued impacts of the pandemic could materially adversely impact global economic conditions, our business, results of operations and financial condition, including our potential to conduct financings on terms acceptable to us, if at all, and may require significant actions in response, including but not limited to expense reductions or discounting of pricing of our products, in an effort to mitigate such impacts. The extent of the impact of the pandemic on our business and financial results will depend largely on future developments, including the duration of the spread of the outbreak, the impact on capital and financial markets and the related impact on the financial circumstances of our customers, all of which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted. This situation is changing rapidly, and additional impacts may arise that we are not aware of currently.
