Inability to file Annual Report on Form
20-F for the year ended December 31, 2019 by the original deadline of April 30, 2020 due to circumstances related to COVID-19.
KBS Fashion Group Limited (the “Company”)
will be unable to file its 2019 Annual Report on Form 20-F (the “20-F”) by April 30, 2020 due to circumstances related
to COVID-19. All of the Company’s operating subsidiaries, employees and facilities are located in China which has been affected
by the outbreak of COVID-19 since early 2020. COVID-19 has caused Company business and government agencies throughout China to
suspend operations or operate with reduced workforce in shifts for limited periods of time. As a result, the Company is unable
to complete and file the 20-F without undue hardship and expense to the Company until after April 30, 2020.
The Company is relying on the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) order under Section 36 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange
Act”), dated March 25, 2020 (Release No. 34-88465) to extend the due date for the filing of the 20-F until June 14, 2020.
The Company will work diligently to submit the 20-F as soon as practicable but no later than 45 days after the original due date.
The Company is supplementing the risk factors
previously disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2018 with the following
risk factor:
Our business operations have been and
may continue to be materially and adversely affected by the outbreak of the coronavirus (COVID-19).
An outbreak of respiratory illness caused by
COVID-19 emerged in late 2019 and has spread within the PRC and globally. The coronavirus is considered to be highly contagious
and poses a serious public health threat. The World Health Organization labeled the coronavirus a pandemic on March 11, 2020, given
its threat beyond a public health emergency of international concern the organization had declared on January 30, 2020.
Any outbreak of health epidemics in the PRC
or elsewhere in the world may materially and adversely affect the global economy, our markets and business. For most of the first
quarter of 2020, we scaled back operations, as our employees worked remotely or at premises in shifts for limited periods of time
in response to nationwide lockdowns and quarantines. We only resumed full operations since late March. The pandemic has also depressed
customers’ demand for our products and services, since during the past few months, businesses across China largely suspended
or reduced operations. As a provider of casual menswear in China, we are sensitive to the overall business environment and vulnerable
to any market downturns.
With the coronavirus epidemic expanding globally,
the world economy is suffering a noticeable slowdown. Commercial activities throughout the world have been curtailed with decreased
consumer spending, business operation disruptions, interrupted supply chain, difficulties in travel, and reduced workforces. The
duration and intensity of disruptions resulting from the coronavirus outbreak is uncertain. It is unclear as to when the outbreak
will be successfully contained, and we also cannot predict if the impact will be short-lived or long-lasting. The extent to which
the coronavirus impacts our financial results will depend on its future developments. If the pandemic is not effectively
controlled in a short period of time, our business operation and financial condition may be materially and adversely affected as
a result of slowdown in economic growth, operation disruptions or other factors that we cannot predict.
