the Company clarifies the confusion over its announcement lodged by EFTel Ltd (EFT) on 28 August 2009 in relation to agreements for the acquisition of shares in EFT by Quoin (Int) Ltd (QIL) - QIL has entered into agreements for the acquisition of EFT shares but those agreements have not settled, and are subject to approval by QIL shareholders before settlement as stated in the QIL announcements - to clarify any confusion caused by the EFT announcement, QIL is not yet a shareholder of EFT and therefore not entitled to appear on the register of that company's shareholders. QIL was therefore not entitled to, nor did it, participate in the recent EFT rights issue. The current shares under agreement are less than 20% of the issued capital of EFT. An Information Memorandum for the meeting seeking approval will be issued to shareholders and lodged with ASX as required by the Listing Rules

the Board is now considering other means of raising capital including a "Convertible Note" - Directors continue to "use their best endeavours to have the company lifted from suspension and to achieve re-instatement and to resume trading operations for the benefit of all shareholders"

a "Compromise Proposal" has been accepted which will ensure that the secured creditors receive a dividend of $600,000 and the unsecured creditors receive a dividend of $75,000 being full and final settlement for the outstanding liabilities - the rest of the funds raised will be used as working capital to complete a proposed acquisition of a new business to enable the Company to recommence trading on the ASX and facilitate the lifting of the trading suspension of QIL - before the Company is able to re-list it will be required to comply with Chapters 1 and 2 of the Listing Rules - QIL will now take steps to raise funds through an underwritten 3 for 2 pro rata rights issue to raise a minimum of $1,200,000 at a price of $0.01 (1 cent) - based on the current 68,989,185 shares, it is anticipated QIL will issue a further 120,000,000 new shares

in an unsigned, undated release to the market on plain paper without letterhead, the company says it has engaged an accounting firm to prepare statutory accounts, it has nearly disposed of its residual property assets and is working towards the re-quotation of its shares (all sounds a bit like the same messages shareholders were getting 4 years ago - no wonder there is no signature to the release)

the Directors are going to appoint John Lindholm of Ferrier Hodgson as the administrator - the intention is to put an offer to all creditors through a Deed of Company Arrangement (DOCA) to settle all outstanding debts via the funds raised through a rights issue underwritten by an unrelated third party - whatever the intentions, the plain fact is that administration never augurs well for shareholders - at least in this case it will bring matters to a head one way or the other, after the company's shares were suspended in 2001 more than 6 years ago!

the Directors are still considering a number of proposals with a number of parties who have expressed interest in selling their respective operating businesses in to the listed company in exchange for shares in the company - the company is also working towards the completion of outstanding accounts and reports to finalise the company's audit requirement

subject to the successful completion of outstanding accounts and reports to finalise the company's audit requirements and completion of the settlement between Bank of South Pacific ("BSP") and the Company, as previously advised, the Directors are considering a number of proposals with a number of parties who have expressed interest in selling their respective operating businesses in to the listed company in exchange for shares in the company

announces that the terms of the settlement verbally agreed, as previously advised, between Bank of South Pacific ("BSP") and the Company have now been confirmed in writing, being that the parties have agreed to the sale of Lots 7 and 8 Hollywood Drive Lansvale for the sum of $800,000 - the company is waiting for written confirmation of the formal removal of the Receiver and Manager

the company is yet to receive in writing the acceptance and confirmation of the terms of the settlement as verbally agreed (see note immediately below) - as soon as it is received Quoin shall advise the market as required

company has agreed verbally on satisfactory terms of settlement which will settle all outstanding claims by BSP against Quoin and its subsidiaries and result in the removal of PWC, the Receiver and Manager - negotiations are continuing with a number of parties who have expressed interest in selling their respective operating businesses in to the listed company

directors advise that subject to the removal of the Receiver and Manager (efforts to have them removed are ongoing) they have commenced negotiations with a number of parties who have expressed interest in selling their respective operating businesses in to the listed company in exchange for shares in the company

the ASX website for this company states "Administrator Appointed , Mr Graeme Efron, Efron & Assoc , Suite 10, Level 1, 600 Lonsdale Street , MELBOURNE , VICTORIA, AUSTRALIA, 3000" yet the official ASIC database for the company makes no mention of the appointment of an administrator

we are unable to extract any information from directors regarding developments with this company - Mr Moishe Gordon (Chairman) and Mr Graeme Efron (Administrator) have clearly failed in their duty to keep shareholders informed

lodges half yearly report in respect of six months to 30 June 2001 (yes that's 2001)

directors of this company have little regard for their shareholders - the last release to the market is dated 10 January 2003!

the company has not paid its annual listing fee - it will be removed from the official list on 1 September 2003 if it does not pay the fee by Friday Aug 29

after numerous requests to the chairman (none of which were responded to) we are now assured by the company's solicitor, Graeme Efron, that there have been no changes, since the shareholder update on 10 January 2003, that require notification to the market - Mr Efron wanted any questions put in writing which is somewhat surprising given his note accompanying the January release that "should you have any queries in relation thereto please contact Graeme Efron direct line 03 9600 1999 or 0411 690 690"

we put the following to chairman Moishe Gordon a number of times but received no response - "at the conclusion of your letter to shareholders dated 10 January 2003 you said: 'to give effect to the foregoing and other matters of vital importance to the company, it will be necessary to formally present the appropriate resolutions to shareholders for their consideration at the Company's foreshadowed Annual General Meeting that Directors hope to hold early in 2003' - Can I ask why there have been no further announcements to the market in almost five months? When do directors intend holding the AGM?"
