ASIC refuses to get involved in facilitating remedies against Seng Meng Pang

company advises that the High Court of Singapore has found in its favour over the action against former MD Mr Seng Meng Pang - it has called on ASIC to prosecute and ASX to fast-track its relisting

litigation is underway in Singapore - this is likely to be a drawn out process

seeking update since 10 mar 04

company advises that the recall of Pan-manufactured products has cost shareholders in excess of $10 million - the future of VLS remains troubled and challenging

advises that the company's case against former MD Pang Seng Meng is set down to commence on 1 March 2004

directors and management advise that a total of $12.86 million of notes were issued - of this amount $6.65 million represented conversions of existing shareholder and third party loans - a further $2.64 million was used to retire existing shareholder and third party debt with a net amount of $3.57 million available for the company's use

company advises it is important the holding locks remain on Mr Pang's shares and that while it will seek a relisting on ASX it may be a year or so before that can be achieved

the company failed to lodge its half yearly financial statements on time and ASIC has taken action to prevent the company from using the limited disclosure regime when raising money

delisted following failure by the company to rectify a breach of Listing Rule 8.10

the company says that to comply with Listing Rule 8.10, it would need to "obtain a court order which provides legal justification for retaining the holding locks on the shares of the former managing director of Vita Life" - on 14 May 2003 it said it was considering the options, seeking further legal advice and would announce its future course of action with regards to this matter in due course

name changed from Macarthur National Limited
