Xiwang Special Steel Company Limited informed its Shareholders that as the accounting personnel of the Group had resigned and the Group needs further time to access the additional and contingent liabilities arising from the creditors, additional time is required to compile the Group's consolidated management accounts for the six months ended 30 June 2023, so the publications of the 2023 Interim Results and the 2023 Interim Report will be delayed. The Company will use its best endeavours to publish the 2023 Interim Results as soon as possible but in any event no later than 31 October 2023.
