As disclosed in the Company's announcements dated 19 July 2017, 24 August 2017, 26 September 2017, 26 October 2017, 29 November 2017, 29 December 2017, 31 January 2018, 28 February 2018, 29 March 2018, 3 May 2018, 1 June 2018, 6 July 2018 and 1 August 2018, Grant Thornton is working on the Investigation. The detailed scope of the Investigation was set out in the announcement of the Company dated 28 February 2017.

The delay of the expected publication of the announcement of the findings of the Investigation was due to the delay of completion of certain procedures of the Investigation including (1) sending bank confirmations to certain banks; (2) visiting certain tax authorities; and (3) conducting interviews with certain previous members of senior management of the Group.

The Company is working closely with Grant Thornton to complete the Investigation as soon as possible and to publish the announcement of the findings of the Investigation by the end of October 2018.

As disclosed in the Company's announcement dated 7 June 2017, 19 July 2017, 26 September 2017, 26 October 2017, 29 November 2017, 29 December 2017, 31 January 2018, 28 February 2018, 29 March 2018, 3 May 2018, 1 June 2018, 6 July 2018 and 1 August 2018, ZHONGHUI has commenced the audit work in May 2017 in respect of the 2015/2016 Annual Results.

The audit procedures for the 2015/2016 Annual Results and the 2016/2017 Annual Results are still ongoing. Meanwhile, the unaudited 2016/2017 Interim Results and 2017/2018 Interim Results are still being prepared by the Company. Due to (1) the delay in the completion of the Investigation; and (2) the publication of the 2016/2017 Interim Results and the 2015/2016 Annual Results is subject to the Investigation, the publication of the 2016/2017 Interim Results and the 2015/2016 Annual Results is delayed accordingly.

The publication of the Outstanding Financial Results will be subject to the findings of the Investigation. As at the date of this announcement, ZHONGHUI has obtained more than half of the external audit confirmations in relation to its audit procedures for the 2015/2016 Annual Results, and the Company is in the process of providing documents to ZHONGHUI for the audit of the Outstanding Financial Results.

Since the Company is still in the process of fulfilling the Resumption Conditions, the trading in the Company's shares and debt securities will remain suspended until further notice.
