Inability
to timely file Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 and the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter
ended March 31, 2020 due to circumstances related to COVID-19
On
March 25, 2020, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) issued Release No 34-88465 (the “Order”)
under Section 36 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”), which superseded an order under
Section 36 (Release No. 34-88318) of the Exchange Act, granting public companies with a 45-day extension to file certain disclosure
reports that would otherwise have been due from March 1, 2020 through July 1, 2020. Among other conditions, companies must continue
to convey through a current report a summary of why the relief is needed in their particular circumstances for each periodic report
that is delayed. Companies that receive an extension on filing Exchange Act annual reports or quarterly reports pursuant to the
Order will be considered to have a due date 45 days after the filing deadline for the report. As such, those companies will be
permitted to rely on Rule 12b-25 if they are unable to file the required reports on or before the extended due date. The purpose
of this Current Report on Form 8-K is to comply with these conditions under the Order.
Intelligent Buying,
Inc. (the “Company”) originally filed a Form 8-K regarding the coronavirus’
impact on its business and its ability to timely file its Form 10-K Annual Report for the period ended December 31, 2019.
As
previously announced in its Form 8-K filed on March 30, 2020, the preparation of the Company’s Annual Report including the
preparation of financial statements and completion of the auditing process has been delayed. On March 20, 2020, New York Governor
Andrew Cuomo issued a stay-at-home order (the “Stay-at-Home Order”) to protect the health and well-being of all New
Yorkers and to establish consistency across the state in order to slow the spread of COVID-19. On May 14, 2020, Governor Cuomo
extended the Stay-at-Home Order until June 13, 2020. New York is therefore under continued strict quarantine control and travel
has been severely restricted, resulting in disruptions to work, communications, and access to files (due to limited access to facilities).
As a result of the COVID-19 epidemic, management’s full efforts have been focused on operating its business, evaluating available
funding and working with its vendors and employees. Further, the Company has been following the recommendations of local health
authorities to minimize exposure risk for its team members for the past several weeks, including the temporary closures of its
corporate offices and having team members work remotely. As such, the Company previously disclosed that its finance team would
be unable to complete the preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements and the Form 10-K until after March
30, 2020. The Company was not able to file its Annual Report on or prior to May 14, 2020. Accordingly, on May 14, 2020, the Company
filed a Form 12b-25 Notification of Late Filing providing that the Annual Report will be filed on or before the 15th calendar day
following the prescribed due date.
For
the same reasons, the Company will be unable to timely file its Form 10-Q Quarterly Report for the period ended March 31, 2020,
which is due on May 15, 2020. The Company, in reliance upon the Order, expects that it will be able to file its Quarterly report
within 45 days of the due date of the report.
Additional
risk factor disclosure
Following
is a risk factor relating to COVID-19.
Pandemics
or disease outbreaks, such as the current novel coronavirus (COVID-19 virus) pandemic may disrupt our business, which could materially
affect our operations and results of operations.
An
outbreak of respiratory illness caused by COVID-19 emerged in Wuhan city, Hubei province, PRC, in late 2019 and has been expanding
globally. COVID-19 is considered to be highly contagious and poses a serious public health threat.
On
March 20, 2020, the New York Governor announced the lockdown of New York in an attempt to slow the spread of the virus, which he
subsequently extended to June 13, 2020. Since imposing this lockdown, other measures have been imposed in other countries and major
cities in the USA, including New York City, and throughout the world in an effort to contain the COVID-19 outbreak. The World Health
Organization (the “WHO”) is closely monitoring and evaluating the situation. On March 11, 2020, the WHO declared the
outbreak of COVID-19 a pandemic, expanding its assessment of the threat beyond the global health emergency it had announced in
January. Any outbreak of such epidemic illness or other adverse public health developments in the USA or elsewhere in the world
may materially and adversely affect the global economy, our markets and our business.
In
the first and second quarters of 2020, the COVID-19 outbreak has caused disruptions to our corporate operations, and to our development
operations, which have resulted in delays on existing projects. A prolonged disruption or any further unforeseen delay in our operations
or within any of our business activities could continue to result in, increased costs and reduced revenue. We could also be adversely
affected if government authorities impose additional restrictions on public gatherings, human interactions, mandatory closures,
seek voluntary closures, restrict hours of operations or impose curfews, restrict the import or export of products or if suppliers
issue mass recalls of products..
