CHARACTERISTICS OF THE GROWTH ENTERPRISE MARKET
(“GEM”) OF THE STOCK EXCHANGE OF HONG KONG LIMITED
(THE “STOCK EXCHANGE”)
GEM has been established as a market designed to accommodate companies
to which a high investment risk may be attached. In particular, companies
may list on GEM with neither a track record of profitability nor any obligation
to forecast future profitability. Furthermore, there may be risks arising out of
the emerging nature of companies listed on GEM and the business sectors or
countries in which the companies operate. Prospective investors should be
aware of the potential risks of investing in such companies and should make
the decision to invest only after due and careful consideration. The greater
risk profile and other characteristics of GEM mean that it is a market more
suited to professional and other sophisticated investors.
Given the emerging nature of companies listed on GEM, there is a risk that
securities traded on GEM may be more susceptible to high market volatility
than securities traded on the Main Board and no assurance is given that there
will be a liquid market in the securities traded on GEM.
The principal means of information dissemination on GEM is publication on the
internet website operated by the Stock Exchange. Listed companies are not
generally required to issue paid announcements in gazetted newspapers.
Accordingly, prospective investors should note that they need to have access to
the GEM website in order to obtain up-to-date information on GEM listed issuers.
This report, for which the directors of Bio Cassava Technology Holdings Limited
(the “Company”) collectively and individually accept full responsibility, includes
particulars given in compliance with the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities
on the Growth Enterprise Market (“GEM Listing Rules”) of The directors, having made all reasonable enquiries, confirm that, to
the best of their knowledge and belief: - (1) the information contained in this report
is accurate and complete in all material respects and not misleading; (2) there are
no other matters the omission of which would make any statement in this report
misleading; and (3) all opinions expressed in this report have been arrived at after
due and careful consideration and are founded on bases and assumptions that are
fair and reasonable.

No Hong Kong profits tax has been provided as the Group did not generate any
assessable profits arising in Hong Kong for the nine months ended 30 September
2007 (nine months ended 30 September 2006: Nil).
During the nine months ended 30 September 2007, provision for the profits tax of
subsidiaries operating outside Hong Kong has not been provided as the subsidiaries
did not generate any assessable profits in the respective jurisdictions (nine months
ended 30 September 2006: Nil).
At 30 September 2007, the Group has net deferred tax assets mainly arising from
tax losses of approximately HK$7,000,000 (as at 31 December 2006: HK$2,961,000).
However, the net deferred tax assets have not been recognised as it is uncertain
whether future taxable profit will be available for utilising the accumulated tax losses.
Under the current tax legislation, the tax losses can be carried forward indefinitely.

5 Interim dividend
The Directors do not recommend the payment of interim dividend for the nine
months ended 30 September 2007 (nine months ended 30 September 2006: Nil).
6 Loss per share
The calculation of the basic loss per share is based on the Group’s unaudited
consolidated loss attributable to equity holders of the Company for the three months
and nine months ended 30 September 2007 of HK$1,984,000 and HK$20,563,000
respectively (three months and nine months ended 30 September 2006: HK$1,698,000
and HK$4,892,000 respectively) and on the weighted average number of shares of
7,398,797,826 and 7,668,293,407 respectively (three months and nine months ended
30 September 2006 (restated): 6,012,541,962) ordinary shares of the Company in
issue during the periods.
No diluted loss per share has been presented in the current period (2006: Nil)
because the exercise of the Company’s outstanding share options and warrants
would reduce loss per share.
The weighted average number of shares for the purposes of calculating basic and
diluted loss per share for the three months and nine months ended 30 September
2007 and 30 September 2006 has been adjusted to reflect the share subdivision
effective on 3 July 2007.
The weighted average number of shares for the purposes of calculating basic loss
per share for the three months and nine months ended 30 September 2006 has also
been adjusted to reflect the issuance of rights shares issued on 1 November 2006.
