Item 8.01. Other Events

 

Pacific Ventures Group, 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 and Certain Rules Thereunder dated March 25, 2020 (Release No. 34-88465) (the “Order”) to delay the filing of its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 (the “10-Q”) due to the circumstances related to COVID-19. In particular, COVID-19 has caused disruptions in our normal interactions with our vendors. Approximately 60% of our customers have ceased daily operation making it difficult to timely confirm information, thereby impacting the Company’s ability to complete its financial statements and file the 10-Q prior to its due date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company expects to file the 10-Q no later than June 29, 2020 (which is 45 days from the 10-Q’s original filing deadline of May 15, 2020).

 

In light of the current COVID-19 pandemic, the Company has including the following Risk Factor in its 2019 10-K, as may be updated to reflect subsequent events impacting the Company:

 

We are unable to predict the impact of COVID-19 on our company.

 

We supply food products to retail and institutional customers. Due to the various “stay at home” orders precipitated by the spread of COVID-19 in California and specifically in Southern California, where our customers are located, we expect a significant decline in sales as many of these clients are not currently in operation as result of such orders. It is impossible for us to predict the effect this will have on our long term operations as the duration of the “stay at home” orders is unknown.
