Prior to its suspension, Wellco borrowed R2 million from Dr AP Ferreira. BioScience has repaid Dr Ferreira R2,3 million towards capital and interest.

BioScience is assessing its options and continues to attempt to settle the matter with Dr Ferreira amicably. BioScience has been pursuing a restructuring which would settle creditors of the remaining trading company and sought to establish a shell for the benefit of shareholders and creditors of BioScience itself. The effect of a possible liquidation thereon is being assessed. Under the circumstances shareholders are advised to exercise caution when dealing in the Companys securities until a further announcement is made.
