FURTHER DELAY IN PUBLICATION OF 2018 ANNUAL RESULTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2018 AND INTERIM RESULTS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 30 JUNE 2019 AND POSSIBLE DELAY IN PUBLICATION OF ANNUAL RESULTS AND DESPATCH OF THE ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2019

Reference is made to the announcement of the Company dated 23 August 2019 in relation to, among other things, the delay in publications of 2018 Annual Results, 2018 Annual Report, 2019 Interim Results and 2019 Interim Report and the announcements of the Company dated 21 October 2019 and 13 January 2020 in relation to the appointment of Crowe (HK) CPA Limited as the auditor of the Company to fill the casual vacancy following the resignation of PKF.

As a result of the outbreak of novel coronavirus pneumonia in the PRC and in Hong Kong, the progress of the Company's audit has been affected, mainly attributable to the travel restrictions and quarantine measures imposed by the relevant authorities.

The Company will work out an achievable and realistic audit schedule with the auditors and make further announcement on the revised target date for the publication of the 2018 Annual Results, 2019 Interim Results and 2019 Annual Results and the despatch of the corresponding 2018 Annual Report, 2019 Interim Report and 2019 Annual Report.
