Orsus Xelent Trading Expected to Resume Tomorrow on a Pre-Split Basis

   Orsus Xelent Technologies, Inc. ("Orsus" or the "Company") (NYSE Amex: ORS) reported that, as authorized by shareholders at the Company's annual meeting in December, the Company's board of directors approved a 1:12 reverse split of the Company's issued and outstanding shares which was to have been effected today. The Company learned late yesterday, however, that the necessary filings to effectuate the reverse split could not be completed, resulting in what the Company believes is a temporary postponement of the reverse split.

Under the circumstances, the NYSE Amex exchange halted trading in the Company's common stock today, but indicated that trading will resume tomorrow (Wednesday, February 9) on a pre-split basis. The Company is working to complete the reverse split process and expects the reverse split to be effective in the near future.
