FURTHER DELAY IN PUBLISHING THE 2020 ANNUAL RESULTS
The Board announces that additional time is required by the Auditor to perform and complete its audit work, including obtaining all the necessary confirmations from stakeholders and certain other audit procedures on matters such as other receivables and interest in an associate. Accordingly, the Company is unable to publish the 2020 Annual Results on 30 April 2021. The Company has been using its best endeavors to assist the Auditor to complete the audit work. Based on the information currently available to the Company, the Board estimates that the 2020 Annual Results will be published on or before 14 May 2021.
The Board acknowledges that the delay in publication of the 2020 Annual Results constitutes non-compliance of Rule 13.49(1) of the Listing Rules.

Rule 13.49(3) of the Listing Rules provides that where an issuer is unable to issue its preliminary results in accordance with Rules 13.49(1) and (2) of the Listing Rules, it must announce its results based on the financial results that have yet to be agreed with the auditor (so far as the information is available). After due and careful consideration, the Board is of the view that it would not be appropriate for the Company to publish the unaudited management accounts of the Group for the 2020 Annual Results at this stage as it may not accurately reflect the financial performance and position of the Group.
