          2. Given the above matters and in particular pending the completion of the independent assessment, shareholders and potential investors should exercise caution when trading in the Company's shares. When in doubt as to the action they should take, shareholders and potential investors should consult their financial, tax or other advisers.

          3. By Order of the Board
