PART III – NARRATIVE
State below in reasonable detail 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.
The Company's independent auditor, Assentsure, estimates that it will need more time than expected to complete the audit procedures for the Company's 2022 financial statements. This is in part due to the fact that Assentsure was appointed in
December 2022 and had limited time to complete its work and that the change in auditor also led to increased workload. See the Company's Form 6-K furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 28, 2022. In addition, there has
been some staff changes in the Company’s financial accounting department, and therefore the Company and its Audit Committee’s time and resources were also diverted to the recruitment of new staff as well as the handover procedures.
The Company and the Audit Committee are working closely with Assentsure team to accelerate the process.
