Revocation of Approval for Annual Return Forms

Section 214 (8) of the Companies Act 1993

Pursuant to section 214 (8) of the Companies Act 1993
("the Act"), the Registrar of Companies ("the Registrar")
gives notice that all approvals by the Registrar under section
214 (8) of the Act for the use of Annual Returns different
from those prescribed are revoked as of the 1st day of
February 2004.

Dated this Thursday, the 22nd day of January 2004.

NEVILLE HARRIS, Registrar of Companies.

Explanatory Note

The Registrar, in accordance with section 214 (8) of the
Act, has previously approved the use of Annual Return
forms different from those prescribed. Nearly all of those
approvals were made prior to 1994 and related to electronic
versions of Annual Return forms used by professionals and
filing agents. While those forms contained all the
information prescribed by Regulation, the format of those
forms often varied significantly from prescribed requirements.

Most of the approved forms are no longer used as over 85%
of Annual Returns are now filed electronically using the
Registrar’s online Annual Return service. From the 1st
day of February 2004, where documents are not filed
electronically, the Registrar requires the use of the
prescribed standard form in order to aid processing and
to ensure that companies’ particulars are able to be easily
entered into the Register.
