Jaclyn plans to voluntarily delist Common Stock from AMEX

April 26, 2008 (USA)

Jaclyn Inc announced that it has notified the American Stock Exchange of its intention, subject to meeting certain conditions, to withdraw its shares of common stock from listing on the American Stock Exchange.

As the Company announced in December 2007, a special committee of independent directors unanimously recommended, and its entire Board of Directors approved, plans to cease the registration of the Company's common stock under federal securities laws and to withdraw its shares of common stock from listing on the AMEX.

The Company indicated that it was taking these steps to avoid the substantial and increasing cost and expense of being a Securities and Exchange Commission reporting company and of regulatory compliance under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, and to focus the Company's resources on increasing long-term stockholder value.

The Company further announced that it anticipates savings of approximately $500,000 on an annual basis as a result of the proposed deregistration and delisting transaction, as well as an additional one-time savings during its current fiscal year for initial costs of compliance with the internal control provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

In order to deregister its shares of common stock, the Company will need to reduce its number of stockholders of record to below 300. To accomplish this, the Board of Directors has proposed to amend the Company's certificate of incorporation to effect a reverse stock split, which would immediately be followed by a forward stock split.

Farasha’s collection for contemporary Arab woman

April 25, 2008 (UAE)

Damas, the leading international jewellery retailer in the Middle East, showcases the latest jewels of its bestselling house brand - Farasha.

Presented in 18k white gold, each piece in the collection is adorned by diamonds and multi-coloured gemstones representing the cultural diversity of Dubai.

Farasha, which translates to butterfly in Arabic, is inspired by metamorphosis – the magical transformation that gives birth to unique beauty and grace.

Similarly, Dubai has evolved itself from a rustic community into a booming international city in just a few decades, an amazing feat by any world standard.

As a collection designed with the contemporary Arab woman in mind, Farasha’s bright, kaleidoscopic colours pulsate, reminding us once again that change is the very essence of existence.

Tamjid Abdullah, Deputy Managing Director of Damas, shares: “Farasha was conceived as a metaphor for Dubai and how it has emerged as a cosmopolitan city.

It signifies growth and vitality that have redefined the sensibilities of the community while staying in touch with time-honoured traditions.”

Abdullah adds the diamonds surrounding the jewellery represent the strong, solid Arabic identity of Dubai while multi-colour stones represent the 200 or more nationalities that comprise the expatriate community, adding colour and excitement to the city.

National Distribution Union welcomes Tariff Freeze

April 23, 2008 (New Zealand)

Announcement by Commerce Minister, Lianne Dalziel, of a freeze on general tariff reductions for two years from July 2009 has been welcomed by the National Distribution Union.

The NDU represents workers in the textile, clothing and footwear industries.

"This was the only sensible approach in light of the outcome of the NZ China Free Trade Agreement," said NDU President, Robert Reid.

"It would have been unconscionable for New Zealand to have unilaterally reduced tariffs quicker than those agreed to in the China FTA," he said.

"The China FTA and announcement have considerably slowed down New Zealand's headlong race to zero tariffs," Robert Reid said.

"The 1996 -99 National Government tried to eliminate all TCF tariffs by 2006.

This was stopped by the Alliance Party securing a tariff freeze from 2000 - 2005 as part of its Coalition Agreement with Labour in 1999.

Without the Alliance, Labour re-introduced a post 2005 tariff reduction regime that has TCF tariffs reducing to 10% by 2009.

However Labour remained committed to APEC Bogor goals that require all tariffs to be removed in developed countries by 2010.

"The timetable for tariff reductions in the NZ - China Free Trade Agreement and announcement of the two year tariff freeze blows New Zealand's APEC commitments out of the water. This is good news for the TCF sector," said Robert Reid.

"However, these actions are too late in preventing the closure and job losses from a number of iconic New Zealand firms," said Robert Reid.
