Mobiquity Technologies Inc. announced today that Deepankar Katyal is stepping down from Mobiquity’s Board of Directors effective May 5, 2020. Due to the recent expansion of his family and time commitment necessary to run the day-to-day operations of Advangelists, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Mobiquity, Mr. Katyal believes his time and efforts would be more useful focusing on technology and revenue growth than serving on the Board of Mobiquity.

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 offices and having team members work remotely, and, as a result, the quarterly report will not be completed by the filing deadline, due to insufficient time to facilitate the internal and external review process.

Mobiquity Technologies, INC. (the “Company”) will be relying on the Securities and Exchange Commission's Order under Section 36 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Granting Exemptions From Specified Provisions of the Exchange Act of 1934 and Certain Rules Thereunder dated March 25, 2020 (Release No. 34-88318) (the Order) to delay the filing of its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 (the Report) due to the circumstances related to COVID-19.

In light of the current COVID-19 pandemic, the Company will be including the following Risk Factor in its Quarterly Report as well as its recently filed 2019 annual report:

Impacts of COVID-19 to Business and the general economy

COVID -19 has recently caused a material and substantial adverse impact on our general economy and our business operations. It has caused there to be a substantial decrease in our sales, cancellations of purchase orders and has resulted in accounts receivables not being timely paid as anticipated. Further, it has caused us to have concerns about our ability to meet our obligations as they become due and payable. In this respect, our business is directly dependent upon and correlates closely to the marketing levels and ongoing business activities of our existing clients. If material adverse developments in domestic and global economic and market conditions adversely affect our clients’ businesses, such as COVID-19, our business and results of operations could (and in the case of COVID-19) equally suffer. Our results of operations are affected directly by the level of business activity of our clients, which in turn is affected by the level of economic activity in the industries and markets that they serve. COVID-19 future widespread economic slowdowns in any of these markets, particularly in the United States, may negatively affect the businesses, purchasing decisions and spending of our clients and prospective clients, and payment of accounts receivable due us, which could result in reductions in our existing business as well as our new business development and difficulties in meeting our cash obligations as they become due. In the event of continued widespread economic downturn caused by COVID-19, we will likely experience a reduction in current projects, longer sales and collection cycles, deferral or delay of purchase commitments for our data products, processing functionality, software systems and services, and increased price competition, all of which could substantially adversely affect revenue and our ability to remain a going concern.

In the event we remain a going concern, the impacts of the global emergence of Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) on our business, sources of revenues and then general economy, are currently not fully known. We are conducting business as usual with some modifications to employee work locations, and cancellation of certain marketing events, among other modifications. We lost a purchase order in excess of one million dollars with major US sports organization. We have observed other companies taking precautionary and preemptive actions to address COVID-19 and companies may take further actions that alter their normal business operations. We will continue to actively monitor the situation and may take further actions that alter our business operations as may be required by federal, state or local authorities or that we determine are in the best interests of our employees, customers, partners, suppliers and stockholders. It is not clear what the potential effects any such alterations or modifications may have on our business, including the effects on our customers and prospects, although we do anticipate it to negatively impact our financial results during fiscal year 2020.
