<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"><FONT STYLE="font-family: Times New Roman, Times, Serif; font-size: 10pt">The
Company will not be able to file its 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K by the original deadline of March 30, 2020 due to circumstances
related to COVID-19. The Company&rsquo;s operations in China and the U.S. have been seriously impacted by the COVID-19 epidemic.
As a result, the Company and its professional advisors will not be able to complete the preparation of the Company&rsquo;s consolidated
financial statements and the Form 10-K until after March 30, 2020. The Company is relying on the SEC order dated March 4, 2020
(Release No. 34-88318) to extend the due date for the filing of its Form 10-K until May 14, 2020 (45 days after the original due
date). The Company will work diligently to comply with such requirement and, at this time, management believes that it will need
the entire available extension period.</FONT></P>

occurrence of an uncontrollable event such as the COVID-19 pandemic is likely to negatively affect our operations. A pandemic
typically results in social distancing, travel bans and quarantine, and this has limited access to our facilities, customers,
management, support staff and professional advisors. These, in turn, will not only impact our operations, financial condition
and demand for our goods and services but our overall ability to react timely to mitigate the impact of this event. Also, it will
substantially hamper our efforts to provide our investors with timely information and comply with our filing obligations with
the Securities and Exchange Commission.</FONT></P>
