Sino Energy International Holdings Group Limited announced that, due to the COVID-19 outbreak and the curbing and quarantine policies adopted and/or implemented by the Chinese government, the Company's auditors encountered significant practical difficulties in compiling its report as it was unable to go to certain locations of the Company (including Henan and Guizhou) for performing audit work and accordingly, it was unable to complete the audit of the Group's annual results for the year ended 31 December 2019 by 31 March 2020 in accordance with the requirements of the Listing Rules and the Company expected the auditing process will be completed and the 2019 Annual Report will be published on or before 30 June 2020. Further delay is because the auditors previously had difficulty to arrange personnel to attend to Guizhou due to the curbing and quarantine policies. As to the bank confirmations, the auditors have obtained part of the bank confirmations and target to obtain the remaining bank confirmation physically during the site visit. Based on the current plan, the Company's auditors target to obtain all bank confirmations in early July 2020 and complete site visits and document inspection within two weeks from the date hereof (i.e. by mid-July 2020).
