EQUEST INVESTMENTS BALKANS LIMITED
('EIB' or the 'Company')
UPDATE ON TEMPORARY SUSPENSION OF SHARES
Further to the Company's announcement of 29 June 2009 in respect of the temporary suspension of trading in the Company's ordinary shares due to the delay in completing the audit of its financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2008, EIB today announces that the audited financial statements are now expected to be sent to the Company's shareholders not later than by the end of the week commencing 10 August 2009. The ongoing delay results from the first time consolidation of all the Company's subsidiaries, as well as the need to restate prior year accounts by reference to the required change of accounting policy from US GAAP to IFRS.
