China Metal Resources Utilization Limited (CMRU) has announced that it will miss the 31 March 2026 deadline for publishing its audited results for the financial year ended 31 December 2025. The company attributes the delay to outstanding audit fee payments, which have prevented auditors from commencing field work. Management now targets completion of the audit by 31 May 2026.

Under Hong Kong Listing Rule 13.49(1), issuers must release annual results within three months after the financial year-end. CMRU’s inability to meet this requirement constitutes non-compliance. The board stated that releasing unaudited management accounts is not appropriate, citing concerns that such information might not accurately reflect the Group’s financial position and could mislead shareholders and potential investors.

The board meeting originally set for 31 March 2026—intended to approve the FY2025 results and consider a final dividend—has been postponed. A revised date will be announced once the audit timetable is confirmed.

Pursuant to Listing Rule 13.50, trading in CMRU shares on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange is expected to be suspended from 9:00 a.m. on 1 April 2026 and will remain halted until the FY2025 results are released.

Shareholders and investors are urged to exercise caution when dealing in CMRU securities.
