Colin Davies, Chairman of Readybuy, commented:

'The majority of chilled Chinese ready meals are currently sold under retailers'
own labels and we believe there is an opportunity for a brand to enter the
chilled Chinese foods market.

We aim to manufacture ready meals of a superior quality to those currently
available, which can be either microwaved or heated through conventional
cooking, and to distribute the products under the Yang Sing brand through major
supermarkets.

Admission of the Company's securities to AIM will now afford us the opportunity
to develop the business and start to realise its potential.'
