The Board of Directors of Yongnam Holdings Limited (the "Company") refers to the announcement made by the Company on 29 October 2007 in relation to JIWA HARMONI OFFSHORE SDN BHD ("JHO"), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company's subsidiary, YNE Project Engineering Pte. Ltd., commencing legal proceedings in the High Court of Kuala Lumpur against ISHI POWER SDN BHD ("ISHI") in respect of disputes arising from the project known as CONSTRUCTION OF 3 X 700MW COAL-FIRED POWER PLANT AT TANJUNG BIN, JOHOR, MALAYSIA (the "Project").

In the same announcement, the Company stated that JHO had obtained an interim injunction from the High Court of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia restraining ISHI, its agent, servants or whosoever from calling on the performance bonds issued to ISHI in respect of the Project.
