FURTHER DELAY IN PUBLICATION OF 2019 AUDITED ANNUAL RESULTS AND DESPATCH OF 2019 ANNUAL REPORT

As disclosed in the Company's announcement dated 7 April 2021, it is expected that the 2019 Audited Annual Results and the 2019 Annual Report can be published and despatched by 30 April 2021.

As at the date of this announcement, certain documents as requested by the Company's auditors, including confirmations to some debenture holders and supporting documents to recoverability of certain receivables etc., are still under arrangement of the Company and have not yet been received by the Company's auditors.

Further time is required to complete the audit procedures for the 2019 Audited Annual Results. Based on the current plan, the Company expects that the 2019 Audited Annual Results and the 2019 Annual Report can be published by 31 May 2021.

FURTHER DELAY IN PUBLICATION OF 2020 INTERIM RESULTS

The deadline of the Company to issue its 2020 Interim Results is 31 August 2020 as required under the Listing Rules. However, the Company cannot issue its 2020 Interim Results until it first issues its 2019 Audited Annual Results. The Company expects that the 2020 Interim Results can be published in two weeks from the date of issuance of the 2019 Audited Annual Results.

FURTHER DELAY IN PUBLICATION OF 2020 AUDITED ANNUAL RESULTS AND DESPATCH OF 2020 ANNUAL REPORT

The Company needs more time to prepare the information and documents requested by the auditors for the 2020 Audited Annual Results so that the completion of annual audit of the Group by the auditors will be delayed. Accordingly, the announcement of the 2020 Audited Annual Results and the despatch of the 2020 Annual Report will not be ready by 30 April 2021. Based on the current plan, the Company expects that the 2020 Audited Annual Results and the 2020 Annual Report can be published by 30 June 2021.
