After around 7 months, trading in Shares resumed on 1 February, 2007 after the restoration of public float by way of placing 65 million Shares at HK$0.32 per Share by Nation Field Limited. Upon resumption of trading, share price of the Company soared 94.59% to close at HK$0.72 from the pre-suspension closing price of HK$0.37 on 16 June, 2006 with turnover recorded at 4 million Shares.
