Item 5.   Other Events.

PacificNet Inc. (the “Company”) is a Delaware corporation with its common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Common Stock”) currently listed on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market (the “Nasdaq”) under the symbol “PACT.” In its September 9, 2002 correspondence Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Staff (the “Staff”) informed the Company that, having reviewed the Company’s August 16, 2002 submission, the Nasdaq Hearing Qualifications Panel (the “Panel”), granted an additional 180 day grace period to satisfy the $1.00 minimum bid price continued listing requirement. The Panel noted that the Company was required to, on or before February 19, 2003, demonstrate a closing bid price of at least $1.00 and, immediately thereafter, evidence a closing bid price of at least $1.00 per share for a minimum of ten consecutive trading days. 

The Staff further notified the Company that as of September 4, 2002, the Company has not been in compliance with another continued listing requirement, namely, the market value of publicly held shares (“MVPHS”). The Staff requested that the Company, on or before September 16, 2002, provide a plan of compliance for this alleged deficiency. In compliance with this request, the Company submitted its own MVPHS calculations to demonstrate that the Staff’s calculations were not accurate as of the date of the Company’s submission and the Company was, indeed, in compliance with the MVPHS listing requirement. The Company further undertook to file updated security ownership information to evidence its calculations. Further, in its September 25, 2002 correspondence, the Panel stated that it is determined to continue the Company’s listing on Nasdaq pursuant to the following exception:

  1. On or before December 9, 2002, the Company must demonstrate a market value of publicly held shares of at least $1,000,000; immediately thereafter, the Company must evidence a market value of publicly held shares of at least $1,000,000 for a minimum of ten consecutive trading days; and
  2. On or before February 19, 2003, the Company must demonstrate a closing bid price of at least $1.00 per share; immediately thereafter, the Company must evidence a closing bid price of at least $1.00 per share for a minimum of ten consecutive trading days.

All other terms and conditions of the Panel’s September 9, April 3, February 12 and January 29, 2002 decisions remain in effect. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to meet either and/or both of the foregoing Nasdaq listing criteria. In the event that the Company’s securities are de-listed from Nasdaq for the Company’s failure to meet any of the foregoing listing criteria, its securities may be eligible to be quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board.

The purpose of this filing is to comply with the Company’s undertaking in its August 16, 2002 submission to the Staff to update its beneficial ownership information.

The security ownership of the Company’s management, its directors and certain beneficial owners is presented in accordance with requirements of the Item 403 of Regulation S-B promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and beneficial ownership rules and regulations promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
