In light of the unprecedented practical challenges for some companies and the audit profession arising from the COVID-19 pandemic, on 21st March 2020, the Financial Conduct Authority ('FCA') requested that all listed companies which publish their preliminary results around this time, observe a moratorium on the publication of preliminary financial statements for at least two weeks. 
 
Although the Company does not release preliminary results, the Board has taken the decision to delay, in line with the FCA's guidance, the release of the Company's Audited Annual Report & Financial Statements for its year ended 31st December 2019, which were due to be released on Monday, 23rd March 2020.
