As a result of the global outbreak
of the COVID-19 virus, Innovative Payment Solutions, Inc. (the “Company”) is filing this Current Report on Form 8-K
to avail itself of an extension to file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 (the "Quarterly
Report"), originally due on Friday, May 15, 2020. The Company is relying on an order issued by the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "SEC") on March 25, 2020 (which extended and superseded a prior order issued on March 4, 2020) pursuant
to Section 36 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Release No. 34-88318) (the "Order"), regarding exemptions
granted to certain public companies.
The Company provides an integrated
network of kiosks, terminals and payment channels that enable consumers to deposit cash, convert it into a digital form and remit
the funds to any merchant in its network quickly and securely. The Company has plans to roll out 50 kiosks in Southern California
to provide digital payments for the unbanked and underbanked using self-service kiosks and an E wallet ecosystem. The kiosks are
currently located in the Company’s warehouses in Southern California awaiting installation. Due to measures imposed by the
local governments in areas affected by COVID-19, businesses have been suspended due to quarantine intended to contain this outbreak
and many people have been forced to work from home in those areas. As a result, installation of the Company’s network of
kiosks, terminals and payment channels in Southern California has been delayed, which has had an adverse impact on the Company’s
business and financial condition and has hampered its ability to generate revenue and access usual sources of liquidity on reasonable
terms.
The Company has been following the
recommendations of local health authorities to minimize exposure risk for its employees for the past several weeks, including the
temporary closures of its offices and having employees work remotely to the extent possible, which has to an extent adversely affected
their efficiency. As a result, the Company’s books and records were not easily accessible, resulting in delays in preparation
and completion of its financial statements. Further, the various governmental mandatory closures of businesses in these locations
have precluded the Company’s personnel, particularly its senior accounting staff, from obtaining access to its books and
records necessary to prepare the Company’s financial statements to be included in the Quarterly Report.
The Company’s operations and
business have experienced disruption due to the unprecedented conditions surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic spreading throughout
the United States, Mexico and the world and thus the Company’s business operations have been disrupted and it is unable to
timely review and prepare the Company’s financial statements for the quarter ended March 31, 2020.
As such, the Company will be relying
upon the 45-day grace period provided by the SEC's Order to delay filing of its Quarterly Report and is furnishing this Form 8-K
prior to original filing deadline of the report. The Company will file its Quarterly Report by no later than June 29, 2020, 45
days after the original due date of its Quarterly Report.
