ATTACHMENT A
EXPLANATORY NOTE:
This Form 12b-25: Notification of Late Filing (this “Form 12b-25”) is being filed by Neptune Wellness Solutions Inc. (the “Company”) to seek an extension of the filing deadline for its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2022 (“Annual Report”) pursuant to Rule 12b-25 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).
The due date for the filing of the Annual Report is June 29, 2022 (the “Filing Deadline”). Pursuant to the filing of this Form 12b-25, the due date for the filing of the Annual Report is being extended to July 14, 2022 (“Extended Filing Deadline”). The Company expects to file its Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2022 on or before the Extended Filing Deadline.
Part III – Narrative
The Company hereby confirms that it is unable to file the Annual Report by the Filing Deadline without unreasonable effort or expense for a number of reasons, including the following:
|
|
|
The Company determined that it is required to prepare its financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP during the year ended March 31, 2022 and to do so on a retrospective basis. As the Company has only recently become subject to these requirements as a result of becoming a domestic registrant, there is significantly greater effort required to complete the required financial statements than if the Company had continued to prepare its financial statement in accordance with its prior financial reporting framework. The Company will report ineffective disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting as of March 31, 2022 in the Company’s Form 10-K to be filed. |
