The main effects of the pandemic were however evident in the administrative operations of the Company. As a result, due to the international structure of the underlying investment and its investees, the established chain of reporting was impacted and therefore, caused delays in our usual financial reporting process. Sincere apologies for any inconvenience and hope for a swift recover to business as usual. To date, the operational performance of the assets were not adversely impacted by the COVID-19 global pandemic.”
