The board of directors of Life Healthcare Group Limited informed the shareholders of the Company and potential investors that the Company's auditing process for the year ended 31 March 2022 has been adversely affected due to the implementation of the COVID-19 pandemic prevention and control quarantine measures and restrictions in certain cities in mainland China, especially Beijing where the Company's head office and accounting department are located, including delay in sending and receiving audit confirmations to and from banks, suppliers and customers due to delays in postal services, obtaining financial information of the investee companies, physical inspection of medical equipment and materials, motor vehicles and licences, and suspension of work of the Company's head office in Beijing due to lockdown measures in mainland China which affected the preparation and gathering process of necessary documents and information required for the audit work. Given that the auditors of the Company requires additional time for conducting its audit work, it is anticipated that the Company will be unable to publish the audited annual results of the Group for Fiscal year 2022 on or before 30 June 2022. The Company expects to publish the 2022 Audited Annual Results upon completion of the audit processes after the 2022 Audited Annual Results have been finalised and agreed by the Auditor as soon as practicable, on or before 31 July 2022.

Further announcement(s) will be made by the Company as and when appropriate.
