Item 8.01 Other Events.
On March 4, 2020, the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) issued an order (Release No. 34-88318) under Section 36 of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), granting exemptions from specified provisions
of the Exchange Act and certain rules thereunder. On March 25, 2020, the order was modified and superseded by a new SEC order (Release
No. 34-88465) that provides conditional relief to public companies that are unable to timely comply with their filing obligations
as a result of the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) outbreak (the “Order”).
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.
(1)
|
The Company is relying on the Order dated March 25, 2020.
|
Due to circumstances related
to COVID-19, CX Network Group, Inc. (the “Company”) is relying on the Order with respect to the Company’s
Form 10-Q (“Form 10-Q”) for the period ended March 31, 2020. Absent the Order, the Form 10-Q is due on May 15,
2020.

The Company is unable to file the Form 10-Q on a timely basis due to travel restriction, quarantines and staffing issues as a result of COVID-19.

The
ongoing outbreak of the COVID-19 was first reported on December 31, 2019, in the City of Wuhan, Hubei, China, and was recognized
as a pandemic by the World Health Organization (WHO) on March 11, 2020. Efforts to prevent the virus from spreading include travel
restrictions, quarantines, curfews, event postponements and cancellations, and facility closures. These include quarantine of Hubei,
curfew measures elsewhere in China, and national travel restrictions. In late March, Chinese Premier Li Keqiang reported that the
spread of the domestically transmitted epidemic has been basically blocked and the outbreak has been controlled in China. As a
result, some of the government restrictions and quarantines abovementioned have relaxed in certain areas, including Guangdong.
As of early May 2020, more than 3.68 million cases of COVID-19 have been reported in over 187 countries and territories, resulting
in more than 257,000 deaths.
The
preparation of the Company’s Quarterly Report including financial statements and completion of the auditing process has been
delayed by Chinese Government-imposed quarantines, office closings, and travel restrictions which affect both the Company’s
and its service provider’s personnel. Specifically, the Company has significant operations in Dongguan, Guangdong, China.
In its operation location, the Company has been following the measurements implemented by the local governments. During the outbreak
of COVID-19, the Company was taking pro-active measures to help protect its employees by implementing body-temperature tests and
face mask-wearing requirements. The Company has also implemented self-quarantine measures of at least 14 days for its staff that
has traveled from other regions within or outside China before they are allowed to report to the office. This restriction also
applies to non-Company personnel, including its outside auditors, who may have traveled from other regions before they are permitted
onsite to the Company’s facilities. Under the requirement of Lianke Industrial Park where the Company's headquarter locates,
the Company suspended its business operations in early February 2020. As required by the local government, companies intend to
resume their business operations after the 2020 Spring Festival shall apply for approval from the management of Lianke Industrial
Park (the “Application”). The Company started to resume its operation on February 24, 2020 after submitting the Application
to the management of the Lianke Industrial Park on February 17, 2020. However, after reopening of the office, we are still unable
to resume our full operation due to travel restrictions from other provinces, which has led to a delay in a number of our employees
and the outside auditors returning to work in our offices.
These unforeseen circumstances
have resulted in the Company being unable to timely file an accurate Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31,
2020, before or on May 15, 2020. The Company intends to file its Quarterly report within 45 days of the due date of such report.

The Company intends to file the Form 10-Q on or before June 29, 2020 as permitted with the additional 45 day relief granted by the SEC.
|
(4)
|
The Company’s business operations could be adversely affected by the continued outbreak of COVID-19.
|
The
Company’s business operations could be adversely affected by the effects of a widespread outbreak of contagious disease,
including the recent outbreak of respiratory illness caused by a novel coronavirus known as COVID-19. The Company’s corporate
headquarters and operations are located in Dongguan Guangdong, China, where any outbreak of contagious diseases and other adverse
public health developments could be materially adverse on the Company’s business operations. In response to the highly contagious
and sometimes fatal coronavirus inflicting thousands of people in China, the local government has imposed travel restrictions and
quarantines to help control the spread of COVID-19.
Since
the Company primarily engages in development and operation of online dating and mobile gaming products either developed and operated
by the Company, or developed by the Company but co-operated by third parties; or developed by third parties but co-operated by
the Company, the outbreak of COVID-19 has a significant impact on our business operations. In late January 2020, the Guangdong
government released a stop order on all activities that involved gathering and movement restrictions. As a result, we have been
forced to postpone most of our in-person business meetings. Although we are still able to operate and monitor our products from
home via Internet, we have failed to stick to the original timelines of certain on-premise projects, project updates, and promotion
activities due to strict movement restrictions. We have also experienced a slowdown in our regular business activities, as a result
of remote working requirements and travel restrictions. Given that the outbreak has been gradually controlled in China, all of
the Company’s offices have started to resume their business. However, our business was and has continued being adversely
impacted by the outbreak of COVID-19.
Similarly,
the continued spread of COVID-19 globally could further adversely impact the Company’s operations and could have an adverse
impact on the Company’s business and financial results.
