09:22 ARGOS ENT<08022> - Announcement & Resumption of Trading (2) The S & P Agreement signed on 18th August 2004 was a conditional agreement that the transaction might not be successful if the international travel agency operation permit could not be granted. Then the said agreement might be cancelled and only the consideration paid to be refunded to us. The Company needed time to gather all relevant information to prepare this announcement and thus there was delay in publishing this announcement for which the Company does hereby apologize. Also, there was some delay in getting the international travel agency operation permit from the PRC National Tourism Bureau and thus at some stage the Company was not certain that whether the deal would go through as we can get full refund from the vendor according to the S & P Agreement if the above mentioned permit was not issued to the new subsidiary. The above mentioned delay to a certain extent caused the delay in publishing this announcement. There were several announcements for clarification of unusual price & volume movements of the shares of the Company published by the Company on 30th September 2004, 15th November 2004, 14th December 2004, 28th January 2005, 3rd March 2005 stating that "We have noted of the recent increase in the price of the shares of Argos Enterprise (Holdings) Limited ("the Company") and wish to state that we are not aware of any reasons for such an increase in price. We also confirm that there are no negotiations or agreements relating to intended acquisitions or realisations which are discloseable under Chapters 19 to 20 of the GEM Listing Rules, neither is the Board aware of any matter discloseable under the general obligations imposed by rule 17.10 of the GEM Listing Rules, which is or may be of a price-sensitive nature". However, the Company is of the opinion that those unusual price & volume movements are unrelated to this discloseable transaction due to the immaterial amount of the transaction involved. Also, the Company wish to state the it is not aware of any reasons for the increase in the price of its shares on 30th March 2005 and hereby confirm that there are no negotiations or agreements relating to intended acquisitions or realisations which are discloseable under Chapters 19 to 20 of the GEM Listing Rules, which is or may be of a price-sensitive nature saved as disclosed in this announcement. The Stock Exchange has indicated that it is looking into the matters regarding the untimely disclosure of the discloseable transaction and the accuracy of information contained in the unusual price movement announcements published by the Company. The Stock Exchange reserves the right to take action against the Company/and its directors. A circular containing details of the Transaction in accordance with the requirements of Rules 19.63, 19.64 and 19.65 will be dispatched to the shareholders as soon as practicable, and in any event within twenty-one days after this announcement.
