Form 20-F Filing

The Company is filing this Current Report on Form 6-K pursuant to the Order of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), issued on March 25, 2020, pursuant to Section 36 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), granting conditional exemptions from specified provisions of the Exchange Act and certain rules thereunder (Release No. 34-88465) (the “Order”). In reliance on the Order, the Company will delay the filing of its Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 (the “Annual Report”), originally due on or before April 30, 2020. The Company anticipates filing the Annual Report with the SEC on or before June 15, 2020.

Although the COVID-19 global pandemic has caused little interruption to the operation of the Company’s oil storage facilities due to its highly automated and high-tech designs, it has disrupted the operations of its management and corporate staff. In addition to voluntary measures the Company has taken to protect its staff, government authorities have at various recent times implemented lockdown or other measures restricting the movement of people, including staff, vendors and professionals. This has impacted the Company’s and its Auditor’s ability to efficiently perform work related to the financial statements and related materials necessary for audit and, as a result, has delayed the completion of the audited consolidated financial statements and other information required to be included in the Annual Report. The Company is working diligently to address these issues to permit the Annual Report to be filed on or before June 15, 2020.

Upon filing of the Annual Report, management will have its first earnings conference call to discuss the financial results and business outlook. The Company will issue a news release announcing the date for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 conference call and earnings news release as soon as feasible.

In light of the current COVID-19 global pandemic, the Company will be including in the Annual Report a risk factor in substantially similar form to the following:

We are susceptible to general economic conditions, natural catastrophic events and public health crises, which could adversely affect our operating results.

Our results of operations could be adversely affected by general conditions in the global economy, including conditions that are outside of our control, such as the impact of health and safety concerns from the current outbreak of the COVID-19 coronavirus. Governments in affected countries, including the United Arab Emirates, are imposing travel bans, quarantines and other emergency public health measures. Those measures, though temporary in nature, may continue and increase depending on developments in the COVID-19’s outbreak. Though our oil storage and services operations have not been significantly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, the activities of our executives and corporate staff have been, and may continue to be, disrupted and delayed. Many of the vendors and professionals with whom we work have also experienced disruptions. Our executives and corporate staff have been, and may continue to be, focused on mitigating the effects of COVID-19, which may delay other value-add initiatives.

In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic has significantly increased economic uncertainty. It is likely that the current outbreak or continued spread of COVID-19 will cause an economic slowdown, and it is possible that it could cause a global recession. Such adverse impact on the global economy may negatively impact the availability of debt and equity financing on commercially reasonable terms, which, in turn, may adversely affect our ability to successfully execute our business strategies and initiatives, such as the funding of capital expenditures.

The extent, if any, to which the coronavirus impacts our results will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and will include emerging information concerning the severity of the coronavirus and the actions taken by governments and private businesses to attempt to contain the coronavirus.
