PacificNet Receives Notification From Nasdaq

April 05, 2007

SHENZHEN, China, April 5 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ -- PacificNet, Inc. (Nasdaq: PACT) today announced that on March 30, 2007, it received a letter from the Nasdaq Stock Market indicating that the Company's common stock is subject to delisting pursuant to Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(14). Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(14) requires, among other things, that annual reports filed with Nasdaq contain audited financial statements. The Nasdaq delisting letter was issued as a result of the Company's filing of a Current Report on Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 22, 2007, which stated that its former independent auditor, Clancy & Co., P.L.L.C., withdrew its previously issued audit reports related to the Company's consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004. Nasdaq has advised that as a result of the withdrawal of the audit report, PacificNet's Annual Reports on Form 10-KSB that include financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 are incomplete and therefore insufficient to satisfy Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(14). The Company's securities are subject to delisting from the Nasdaq Stock Market at the opening of business on April 11, 2007, unless the Company requests a hearing on or prior to April 9. 2007, in accordance with the Marketplace Rule 4800 Series. PacificNet plans to appeal Nasdaq's determination by requesting an oral hearing, before the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel. A hearing request will automatically stay the suspension and delisting of PacificNet's common stock pending the Panel's review and determination. There can be no assurance that the Panel will grant the Company's request for continued listing. PacificNet is currently in the process of evaluating the reasons for the withdrawal of the audit reports for the years indicated and determining how quickly it can obtain the reinstatement of such audit reports or new audit reports regarding such years from its current independent public auditors. The audit committee of the Company is aware of the issued raised and is conducting an internal investigation of PacificNet's option grant practices for the years 2003, 2004 and 2005 and expects that the results of that investigation will influence the resolution of the larger issues of the audit report and compliance with the NASDAQ listing requirements.
