Questions re RECONSTRUCTION. (Copy of post on Sharetrader, date 1 Oct. 2002).

Q1: When is the RECORD DAY? Answ.: 18 Oct.

Q2: Say, the share price is $4.60 immediately prior to the Record date. What should be the price after the Record Date? Answ.: About $5.68-See my table on the previous page.

Q3: I have 1000 shares before the Record date. How many do I hold after? Answ.: 1000-28%= 720 shares.

Q4: And I hold 1111 shares-How many after? Answ:1111-28%= 799.92 but rounded downwards, you should have 799 shares after. See "Notice of Special meeting" of Sept.4-Last page, item 2: Arrangement.

Q5: I also get $1.80 for each share cancelled; refer to Q3: How much cash do I receive? Answ: 1000-720 or 280 shares were cancelled. You receive 280*$1.80= $504.

Q6: How about applying this to Q4? Answ.: (1111-799)*$1.80= $561.60
