(Attach extra Sheets if Needed)
Solitron Devices, Inc. (the "Company") previously planned to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 29, 2020 (the "Annual Report") by May 29, 2020. As previously disclosed in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed on May 29, 2020, the filing of the Company’s Annual Report was delayed due to circumstances related to the outbreak of the novel coronavirus, COVID-19, preventing a timely completion of the Company’s audit. The Company was relying on the order (the "Order") promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on March 25, 2020 (which extended and superseded a prior order issued on March 4, 2020), pursuant to Section 36 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") (Release No. 34-88465) which allowed for the delay of certain filings required under the Exchange Act. In reliance upon the Order, the Company expected to file its Annual Report no later than July 13, 2020, which was 45 days after the original due date of the Annual Report. The Company is unable to timely file its Annual Report by the July 13, 2020 extended deadline due to (i) travel restrictions impeding the auditor's ability to conduct and complete certain audit procedures on site, (ii) the manual nature of the Company's data and documentation, (iii) the complexity of conducting a two year audit, (iv) the increased difficulty in obtaining timely responses from third parties in a work-from-home environment, and (v) the resurgence of the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result, the Company is unable to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K in a timely manner without unreasonable effort or expense. The Company continues to work with the goal of filing the Annual Report within the fifteen day extension period provided by Securities Exchange Act Rule 12b-25;however, the Company can provide no assurance that it will be able to file its Annual Report within such time period. During the last month increased impacts from COVID-19 have surfaced, including a few employees being directly affected, general delays on purchase orders and new developments as more customers extend their work-from-home restrictions, and continued softness in the commercial aerospace segment. As of this date, the Company’s expectations for fiscal 2021 are unchanged from our March 26, 2020 press release. |
