Ann: Suspension from Official Quotation, page-207

"Apologies for the delay in response.

We received a letter from the ASX on Tuesday and and responded on Wednesday.
The ASX decided our response was not enough and we have responded late today.

We are currently waiting for tomorrow to see if it has been sufficient information to lift the suspension.

Ultimately we are an investment company trying to make investments for the benefit of our shareholders.

We are disappointed the ASX has held us up, but ultimately they are just trying to protect investors and we respect their decision to ask more questions.

We hope to be re instated as soon as possible.

Thank you for your patience.

Geoff Barnes
Chairman
First Growth Fund
