Forward-Looking Statements

This announcement contains Òforward-looking statementsÓ within the meaning of Section 27A of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, including in respect of the anticipated timeline of key events related to the proposed AIM Delisting. All statements other than statements of historical fact contained in this announcement are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements usually relate to future events. Forward-looking statements are often identified by the words Òbelieve,Ó Òexpect,Ó Òanticipate,Ó Òplan,Ó Òintend,Ó Òforesee,Ó Òshould,Ó Òwould,Ó Òcould,Ó Òmay,Ó and similar expressions, including the negative thereof. The absence of these words, however, does not mean that the statements are not forward-looking. These forward-looking statements are based on the CompanyÕs current expectations, beliefs and assumptions concerning future developments and their potential effect on the Company. While management believes that these forward-looking statements are reasonable as and when made, there can be no assurance that future developments affecting the Company will be those that it anticipates.

All of the CompanyÕs forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties, some of which are significant or beyond its control and involve assumptions that could cause actual results to differ materially from the CompanyÕs historical experience and its present expectations. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, including, among other things, risks that the stockholder vote for the AIM Delisting may not be obtained and that the anticipated trading volume in the CompanyÕs equity securities on Nasdaq may not materialise, as well as those risks and uncertainties described in the CompanyÕs latest Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and other documents filed from time to time by the Company with the SEC. The Company wishes to caution investors not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except to the extent required by law.
