PART II – RULE 12-b 25 (b) AND (c)

 

If the subject report could not be filed without unreasonable effort or expense and the registrant seeks relief pursuant to Rule 12b-25(b), the following should be completed. (Check box if appropriate.)

 

(a)

The reasons described in reasonable detail in Part III of this Form could not be eliminated without unreasonable effort or expense;

 

 

 

(b)

The subject annual report, semi-annual report, transition report on Form 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, Form N-CEN or Form N-CSR, or portion thereof, will be filed on or before the fifteenth calendar day following the prescribed due date; or the subject quarterly report or transition report on Form 10-Q or portion thereof, will be filed on or before the fifth calendar day following the prescribed due date; and

 

 

 

(c)

The accountant’s statement or other exhibit required by Rule 12b-25(c) has been attached if applicable.

 

PART III — NARRATIVE

 

State below in reasonable detail the reasons why Form 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, 10-D, N-CEN, N-CSR, or the transition report portion thereof could not be filed within the prescribed time period.

 

Due to the extended filing date for the Form 10-K for 2018 (which was a result of the registrant’s two acquisitions during 2018 which required additional time to integrate their financials) there was insufficient time to complete the review of the quarterly report.
