Further to the announcement of 28 March 2013 in respect of the results of the Preferential Offering, the Company has now received the funds of US$8,000 for the application for 1,000,000 Preferential Offering Shares from an Entitled Depositary Interest Holder ("Placement Shares"). Application has therefore been made for the Placement Shares, which will rank pari passu with all existing ordinary shares in the Company, to be admitted to trading on AIM. Trading in such shares is expected to commence on or around 2 May 2013.

Following this issue, the total number of Ordinary Shares in issue, excluding the 1,922,966 shares held in treasury, will be 2,087,032,444 ("Enlarged Issued Shares").

The Company is in the process of making arrangements to place some or all of the remaining Preferential Offering Shares at the Issue Price including making arrangements to receive funds for the other commitment for US$1 million, as previously announced on 28 March 2013 and will make a further announcement in due course.

As a result of the Preferential Offering Shares issued to date (including the Placement Shares) and the Proposed Disposal, which was finalised on 16 January 2013 at a price of US$0.008 per Ordinary Share (as disclosed in the circular to the Shareholders dated 21 December 2012), the Concert Parties hold in aggregate 800,000,666 Ordinary Shares which represents 38.33 per cent. of the Enlarged Issued Shares.
