SETO HOLDINGS, INC. (OTC:BB SETO) FINANCIALS TO BE RELEASED LATER TODAY or NO LATER THAN MONDAY, APRIL 12th WWW.SETOHOLDING.COM In a conference call late last night with Gene Pian, President of SETO Holdings, Inc. (OTC:BB SETO), Mr. Pian told La Guardia GFS that the Audited Financials for Fiscal 1999 have been completed but have not passed final review by the auditors and executives of SETO, namely Mr. Pian. "We wanted to have the audit finished by the end of March, and we were not able to reach that goal due to unforeseen delays. I would like to apologize to all of those who are anxiously awaiting the results of this audit, and assure all of our shareholders that this information is forthcoming. We anticipate that the numbers will be available for public review no later than Monday, April 12th, and we are working diligently to prepare the Press Release for today, but I cannot guarantee we will achieve this goal." Mr. Pian went on to explain that the 13 hour time change between New York and Panang can really be difficult when there is time pressure. The accountants are reviewing the final draft of the audit beginning at 7 a.m. EST, and will be in contact with Mr. Pian no later than 12:00 p.m. EST (which is 1 a.m. tomorrow in Malaysia). SETO has continued to work around the clock to prepare these financial statements, and La Guardia GFS continues to be impressed with their attention to detail and timeliness. "Gene has been in contact with us on a daily basis throughout his entire trip to Malaysia which says a lot in and of itself. We are very happy to be working with SETO, and continue to look for major price appreciation out of this stock," stated Carlos Saldana, President of La Guardia GFS, "It would be nice to have had Gene back in New York to expedite the final audit, but it is imperative that Gene continue his efforts in Asia, as we believe there are some very lucrative prospects in this region, not unlike Read-Rite and Seagate."
