ITEM 8.01OTHER EVENTSSunday, May 17, 2020 PAUL ARENA'S CHAIRMAN'S LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS To our Shareholders,
When I initially sat down to write this letter, I was in my office and thinking of how to describe the events of 2019 and what Parallax achieved last year. Today, that seems a distant reality.
We find ourselves deep in a crisis, the extent of which has not been seen in our
lifetimes. Prior to March, the country's unemployment rate was the best we have
seen in many years. Our quality of living was on the upswing and the consensus
was positive. That all came to a stop. The country's unemployment claims are
now skyrocketing, and our GNP is suffering. Here, on our streets in
When misinformation exists, people worry and that can create fear. This fear stems from a sense of uncertainty that seems to have no straight answer. We are not an organization that fuels uncertainty. My style for over thirty years of running public companies has been for the organization to communicate with its shareholders effectively, especially through times of crisis. I am here to assure our shareholders that we now have policies and priorities in place to succeed. The Company is able to function effectively while many of us are quarantined in our homes, and steps have been taken to ensure that all of our employees have protective supplies to help guard against COVID-19.
As Chairman and CEO of the Company, I am working closely to communicate with our board of directors, our executives and staff through this crisis to provide regular updates on various developments and initiatives. This includes information about the state of the Company, new policies and procedures, and opportunity updates.
Our opportunities include, but are not limited to the sales and distribution of medical supplies and devices, as well as the proprietary development and manufacturing of our own devices and remote patient monitoring platform. It is our intention to obtain an operating profit as early as possible in the short-term, to continue to grow our revenue base over the intermediate term and to complete the engineering, design and build of our SparksTM Mobile immunoassay handheld diagnostics device, which should provide substantial long-term value to our shareholders.
We have recently acquired a number of new customers and our staff is working diligently to transact business for the benefit of our Company and its shareholders.
Parallax's Value Propositions

In Closing
Much of this crisis is unprecedented and as such, there is no script or road map and there is much uncertainty. However, we believe the Company is situated in the unique position to benefit from our assets, knowhow and management's ability to execute on our business strategies. Exceptional leaders create exceptional organizations that adapt in times of turmoil. We can expect that things will be different when this crisis is over.
The key for us is that, whether it be the COVID-19 pandemic or some future unforeseen pandemic, the worldwide healthcare need for reliable point-of-care diagnostics and monitoring is not going to go away. It is, in fact, very much here to stay. That, for the Company, is very much in our wheelhouse.
To all our employees, to our friends, clients, and shareholders, and especially to the healthcare communities where we operate, please do all you can to stay healthy and be safe.
Sincerely,
