(OTC:CCCI) (BULLETIN BOARD: CCCI) , a leading China-based cable TV company reports due to the complexities in consolidating the joint venture financial statements of Baoding Pascali Broadcasting Cable TV Integrated Information Networking Co., Ltd., that is 49% owned by CCCI, CCCI will be filing our year end 2004 annual financial statements late. This extension will result in an "E" being placed at the end of CCCI's ticker symbol starting the week of April 18. Management expects to have all SEC filings completed by April 29 and have the "E" removed during the first week of May. The "E" at the end of the ticker symbol CCCI will have no impact on the share structure of CCCI or the ability for investors to buy or sell CCCI stock. Gareth Tang, President of China Cable and Communication said, "Consolidating the first-year financial statements for our Baoding joint venture has proven to be quite an undertaking," said Mr. Tang. "We filed for an extension last week because it became clear we would need the additional time to ensure the financial accuracy of what has proven to be a very complex business venture." The company will file its annual report before April 29. However, the company is confident that it will file well ahead of the deadline.
