Item 8.01 Other Events

On March 4, 2020, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) issued an order under Section 36 (Release No. 34-88318) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”), granting exemptions from specified provisions of the Exchange Act and certain rules thereunder (the “Order”). The Order provides that a registrant subject to the reporting requirements of Exchange Act Section 13(a) or 15(d), and any person required to make any filings with respect to such a registrant, is exempt from any requirement to file or furnish materials with the Commission under Exchange Act Sections 13(a), 13(f), 13(g), 14(a), 14(c), 14(f), 15(d) and Regulations 13A, Regulation 13D-G (except for those provisions mandating the filing of Schedule 13D or amendments to Schedule 13D), 14A, 14C and 15D, and Exchange Act Rules 13f-1, and 14f-1, as applicable, where

Bnet Media Group, Inc. (the “Company”) is furnishing this Current Report on Form 8-K to indicate its reliance on the Order in connection with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, as a result of the circumstances set forth below.

Due to the Company’s key internal and external accounting personnel responsible for assisting the Company in the preparation of its financial statements now being required to work remotely because of COVID-19, the Company has been unable to timely provide to its auditors and accountants the financial records to provide consent. These measures have affected both the Company’s and its service provider’s personnel and have delayed the ability of the Company’s accounting personnel to process certain of its accounting records and receipts required to complete the audit of the Company’s financial statements. The lack of time for the compilation, dissemination and review of the information required to be presented, and the importance of investors receiving materially accurate information in the Annual Report have resulted in the Company being unable to timely file an accurate Annual Report on Form 10-K for its year-ended December 31, 2019, by the prescribed date without undue hardship and expense to the Company. Accordingly, in reliance upon the Order, the Company expects to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K no later than 45 days after the due date of filing of March 30, 2020, unless the COVID-19 circumstances do not change and cause a further delay, in which case we will file for an extension and amendment to this Current Report on form 8-K. In late March, the Company’s CEO, Gerald E.Sklar was also diagnosed with having contracted COVID-19. He has subsequently been hospitalized. As such, the Company has not been able to complete it’s 10K filing in the time allotted.
