    The Stock Exchange has received a message from Fortuna International      
    Holdings Limited which is reproduced as follows:-                         
                                                                              
    "ODD LOT ARRANGEMENT                                                      
                                                                              
    In order to alleviate the difficulties arising from the existence of odd  
    lots from the change in board lot size of Shares, the Company has agreed  
    to procure Emperor Securities Limited to stand in the market to provide   
    matching services for the odd lots of Shares on a best effort basis during
    the period from 1st February 2005 to 28th February 2005 (both days        
    inclusive). Shareholders who wish to take advantage of this matching      
    services either to top up or sell their holdings of Shares may contact Mr.
    Wilson Lee or Ms. Liza Yan of Emperor Securities Limited at 24th Floor,   
    Emperor Group Centre, 288 Hennessy Road, Wanchai, Hong Kong at telephone  
    number (852) 2836-2601 or (852) 2836-2602 respectively. Share             
    certificates in board lot of 2,000 Shares will continue to be evidence of 
    entitlement to the Shares and be valid for trading, delivery and          
    settlement. There will be no new Share certificate issued as a result of  
    the change in board lot size, and therefore no arrangement for free       
    exchange of existing Share certificates in board lots of 2,000 Shares for 
    new Share certificates in board lots of 20,000 Shares. Save and except for
    the change in the number of Shares for each board lot, new certificates of
    Shares will have the same format and colour as the existing certificates  
    of Shares."
