The Board of directors of Africa Clean Energy Solutions Limited announced that owing to the COVID-19 pandemic that has been evolving globally in recent months, there have been some unforeseen hindrances in the preparation of the company's consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2020 and the audit process is now expected to be completed within the next few weeks. Consequently, ACES will not be in a position to publish its abridged audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2020 within 90 days of its balance sheet date. The company accordingly has obtained the formal approval of the Stock Exchange of Mauritius Ltd. ("SEM") to delay the publication of its abridged audited consolidated financial statements by one month, i.e. at latest by, 30 October 2020.
