ITEM 8.01 OTHER EVENTS
The Company will be relying on the Securities and Exchange Commission's Order
under Section 36 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Granting Exemptions From
Specified Provisions of the Exchange Act and Certain Rules Thereunder dated
March 25, 2020 (Release No. 34-88465) (the "Order") to delay the filing of its
Amendment to the Current Report on Form 8-K/A, which was originally scheduled on
May 8, 2020 (the "Report"), due to the circumstances related to COVID-19. In
particular, from late February 2020, COVID-19 has caused severe disruptions in
the audit process of Butterfly Effect Culture Media (Beijing) Co., Ltd. (the
"Target"), limited access to the Target's facilities in China and third parties
by the auditors to verify the Target's accounting , and limited support from the
Target's staff. This has, in turn, delayed the Target's ability to complete its
audit and prepare the Report. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company expects
to file the Report no later than June 22, 2020 (which is 45 days from the
Report's original filing deadline of May 8, 2020).
