2007-09-28 06:39 1131

MACAU, Sept. 28 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ -- PacificNet, Inc. (Nasdaq: PACT), a leading provider of gaming and mobile game technology, e-commerce, and Customer Relationship Management (CRM) in China, announced today that the filing of amended Annual Reports on Form 10-K/A with the SEC containing re-audited financial statements with respect to fiscal years 2004 and 2005 as directed by the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel is nearing completion. As previously announced, the Company's prior independent public accountants have withdrawn their audit reports regarding the Company's financial statements for the years 2004 and 2005 resulting in the Nasdaq Listing Qualification Panel's decision to commence delisting proceedings with respect to PacificNet's common stock. The Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel had granted, however, the Company's request for continued listing on the Nasdaq Stock Market, subject to the condition that on or before September 27, 2007 the Company re-file the above years form 10K or face a determination by the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel whether or not to grant continued listing.

The majority of the re-audit work is done and the PacificNet and independent audit teams will continue to work hard to complete the re-audit as soon as possible. The Nasdaq Listing and Hearing Review Council notified PacificNet in August that it has called for a review of the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel's decision regarding the Company and has also determined to stay the July 2, 2007 decision to suspend the Company's securities from trading pending further action by the Listing Panel. The Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Department has until October 19, 2007 to provide the Council with an updated qualifications summary sheet regarding PacificNet. PacificNet has until October 26 to provide additional information it wants the Listing Counsel to consider. The Company is unable to predict the duration of the Council's review or the eventual outcome of the Council's evaluation of the issues, although it intends to disclose to its shareholders any further developments in this regard promptly.
