Item 8.01. Other Events
On
The Company is supplementing its risk factors previously disclosed in the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
An occurrence of an uncontrollable event such as the COVID-19 pandemic may negatively affect our operations and financial results.
In
The Company's original business plan was to develop a consulting business in
Quarantines, travel restrictions, shelter-in-place and other restrictions
related to COVID-19 have impacted our abilities to visit potential business
partners and to have face to face meetings in
The global economy has also been materially negatively affected by COVID-19 and there is continued severe uncertainty about the duration and intensity of its impact. The Chinese and global growth forecast is extremely uncertain, which will seriously affect people's desires for investment and mergers and acquisitions.
While the potential economic impact brought by, and the duration of, COVID-19 may be difficult to assess or predict, a widespread pandemic has resulted in significant disruption of global financial markets, reducing our ability to access capital, which could negatively affect our liquidity. In addition, a recession or market correction resulting from the spread of COVID-19 could materially affect our business and the value of our common stock.
Further, as we do not have access to a revolving credit facility, there can be no assurance that we would be able to secure commercial debt financing in the future in the event that we require additional capital. We currently believe that our financial resources will be adequate to see us through the outbreak. However, in the event that we do need to raise capital in the future, the outbreak-related instability in the securities markets could adversely affect our ability to raise additional capital.
In general, our business could be adversely affected by the effects of epidemics, including, but not limited to, COVID-19, avian influenza, severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), the influenza A virus, the Ebola virus, or other outbreaks. In response to an epidemic or other outbreaks, government and other organizations may adopt regulations and policies that could lead to severe disruption to our daily operations, including temporary closure of our offices and other facilities. These severe conditions may cause us and/or our business partners to make internal adjustments, including but not limited to, temporarily closing down operations, limiting business hours, and setting restrictions on travel and/or visits with clients and partners for a prolonged period of time. Various impacts arising from severe conditions may cause business disruption, resulting in material adverse effects to our financial condition and results of operations.
