EX-99.1 2 island_8kex99-1.txt EXHIBIT 99.1 ISLAND PACIFIC, INC. Irvine, Calif. - October 31, 2005 - Island Pacific, Inc. (AMEX:IPI). On October 25, 2005, the American Stock Exchange ("AMEX") notified Island Pacific, Inc. (the "Company") that the Company's common stock will be delisted from the AMEX. The AMEX made the determination subsequent to a delisting hearing where the Company had requested additional time to regain compliance with the AMEX listing standards. As previously announced, in September 2005, the AMEX had notified the Company that the Company was subject to delisting for two reasons. First, the Company did not file its Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005 and its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2005. Second, the Company had sustained losses which were so substantial in relation to its overall operations or its existing financial resources, or its financial condition had become so impaired that it appeared questionable, in the opinion of the AMEX, as to whether the Company would be able to continue operations and/or meet its obligations as they mature. The Company's independent counsel has now completed its initial revenue recognition review. Based on the results of this review, the Company adopted a new revenue recognition policy, which is being applied to all periods commencing April 1, 2002. In applying this policy to prior periods, management has determined that certain prior transactions not previously investigated might require restatement. After the Company is delisted from the AMEX, it expects that its common stock will be quoted on the Pink Sheets under a new trading symbol. Once the Company files its 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2005 and its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2005, the Company anticipates its common stock will be quoted on the NASD OTC Bulletin Board. Commenting on the delisting of the Company's stock, Barry Schechter, Island Pacific's Chief Executive stated "It is disappointing that the Company was not granted additional time to become compliant with AMEX listing standards. Since being appointed to my current position, the Company has made substantial progress in its turnaround. We have released new technologies and announced enhanced versions of our existing products to our customers. We have also been building our pipeline for new business, both domestically and internationally, and have been encouraged by the response from business partners and customers. While the delisting is a setback, we are excited about the Company's turnaround and will continue to maintain regular communications to the market while the Company's common stock is quoted on the Pink Sheets."
