ITEM 8.01 – OTHER EVENTS

In accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) Order Under Section 36 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Granting Exemptions from Specified Provisions of the Exchange Act and Certain Rules Thereunder, SEC Release No. 34-88318, dated March 4, 2020 and Release No. 34-88465 dated March 25, 2020 (the “Order”), Vaso Corporation (the “Company”) hereby states the following:

●

The Company is relying on the relief provided by the Order in connection with the filing of its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the first quarter ended March 31, 2020 (the “Quarterly Report”).

●

The delay in filing is due to staffing difficulties by both the Company and the auditors as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, materially impairing the Company’s ability to file its Quarterly Report by May 15, 2020. The Company’s principal offices, including its accounting department, are located in Nassau County, New York, which area has been significantly impacted by the coronavirus. Since March 16, 2020, the Company's employees have been working remotely. As a result, the Company's books and records are not easily accessible, resulting in a delay in the preparation and completion of its financial statements required in the Quarterly Report. The Company is relying on the Order because it could not manage the aforementioned challenges in finalizing the Quarterly Report by the prescribed filing date. Attached is a letter from the Company’s auditors, MaloneBailey LLP, in support of this position.

●

The Company currently expects to file the Quarterly Report on or about June 1, 2020, but in any event no later than 45 days after the original due date for the Quarterly Report.
