Dealings in the shares of the Company have been suspended since 7 August 2003. On 24 November 2004, the Company announced that the Exchange proposed to exercise its right to cancel the listing of the shares of the Company on the Exchange. The Company was given a period of six months (expiring on 11 May 2005) for the submission of a valid resumption proposal and to remedy those matters that gave rise to the Exchange's proposal to cancel the listing of the Company, and the Company was required to submit such resumption proposal at least 10 business days as defined in the GEM Listing Rules before the expiry of the six-month period. The Company has failed to submit a viable resumption proposal as required. Therefore the Exchange will cancel the listing of the Company's shares.
The Exchange has notified the Company of its obligation under Rule 9.17 to publish an announcement providing details of the Exchange's decision and the consequences to shareholders of the Company.
The Exchange advises shareholders of the Company who have any queries about the implications of the delisting to obtain appropriate professional advice.
