INTAC Receives Nasdaq Notification
HONG KONG, May 10 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- On March 9, 2005, INTAC
International, Inc. (Nasdaq: INTN; FSE: WKN 805768) (the "Company") issued a
press release announcing that it had not completed implementing a framework to
enable management to assess the Company's internal control over financial
reporting for its fiscal year ended December 31, 2004, as required by Section
404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. As a result, the Company was unable to
include management's report on internal control over financial reporting and
the related report of the Company's independent public accounting firm on
management's assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial
reporting (collectively, the "Attestations") in the Company's 2004 Form 10-K.
On May 6, 2005, the Company received a notice from the Listing Qualifications
Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market stating that, although the Company filed
its 2004 Form 10-K, the Company does not comply with Nasdaq Marketplace Rule
4310(c)(14) because its 2004 Form 10-K did not include the Attestations. The
Company has requested a hearing on the matter before a Nasdaq Listing
Qualifications Panel (the "Panel"). Pending the hearing, which we expect to
occur in early June 2005, the Company's shares will continue to trade on
Nasdaq, but its trading symbol will change from INTN to INTNE as of the opening
of business on May 10, 2005. The Company's failure to file the Attestations in
its 2004 Form 10-K is the only listing deficiency cited in the notification.
As discussed in the Company's 2004 Form 10-K, management has selected the
framework, and begun implementing such framework, necessary to enable
management to assess and report on the Company's internal control over
financial reporting for the year ending December 31, 2005, in accordance with
Section 404 of Sarbanes-Oxley. In the hearing, the Company intends to request
an extension of its listing privileges for a period of time sufficient to allow
the Company to complete the implementation of the framework and the testing
necessary to comply with Section 404 of Sarbanes-Oxley or an exception to the
requirement to file the Attestations to the extent applicable to the 2004 Form
10-K. If the Company's request for an extension or exception is not granted,
the Company's common stock no longer will be eligible to be listed for trading
on the Nasdaq. While the Company is hopeful that the Panel will grant the
Company's request for an extension or an exception, there can be no assurance
that such request will be granted.
