Guidance, Outlook, Risks, and Unusual Items
- The company intended to rely on the SEC’s March 25, 2020 COVID-19 relief order to obtain up to a 45-day extension for filing its Q1 2020 Form 10-Q.
- Nocera expected to file the Form 10-Q no later than June 29, 2020, compared with the original May 15, 2020 deadline, but stated that timely filing was not certain.
- Quarantines, travel restrictions, suspended supplier and customer operations, and delayed accounting confirmations impeded financial reporting.
- SIMONA, identified as the company’s primary PE sheet supplier, remained suspended. As a result, estimated completion dates for several RAS projects in China were postponed, which was expected to delay related revenue recognition.
- The company warned that the continuing COVID-19 pandemic and government actions disrupting commerce could adversely affect operations and that the full financial impact could not yet be quantified.
