PACIFIC WIRE &amp; CABLE ANNOUNCES THE TERMINATION, AND PLANS FOR
REPLACEMENT, OF ITS INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS</p>
<p style="font-family:serif;font-weight:normal;color:#000000;font-size:10pt;  width: 456pt; text-align: left; font-style: normal; line-height: 12pt; padding-top:6pt; padding-left:0pt; padding-right:0pt; padding-bottom: 0pt; margin: 0pt; text-indent: 20pt; background-color: #ffffff">
<b>NEW YORK, NY
&mdash; December 30, 2005</b>&ensp;&mdash;&ensp;Asia Pacific Wire
&amp; Cable Corporation Limited (Pink Sheets: AWRCF) announced today
that it has terminated its relationship with its independent
accountants, Ernst &amp; Young. This decision was taken by the Board of
Directors upon the recommendation of the audit committee, which was
supported by management, following a determination that irreconcilable
differences existed between the Company and its accountants over the
measures necessary to complete, in accordance with US GAAP, the audit
of the Company&rsquo;s financial statements for 2004. The Company is
in discussions with several international accounting firms and hopes to
be able to announce a decision soon on the appointment of its new
auditors.</p>
<p style="font-family:serif;font-weight:normal;color:#000000;font-size:10pt;  width: 456pt; text-align: left; font-style: normal; line-height: 12pt; padding-top:6pt; padding-left:0pt; padding-right:0pt; padding-bottom: 0pt; margin: 0pt; text-indent: 20pt; background-color: #ffffff">As the Company has previously reported, management has
been working diligently to remedy material weaknesses in internal
controls that were uncovered during the course of an internal
investigation and a subsequent investigation by a forensic accounting
firm retained by the Company. Among the measures that have been taken
were the removal of certain executives at several of the
Company&rsquo;s operating subsidiaries and the hiring of a consulting
firm to assist in establishing an internal audit department which will
be in place in January 2006. In addition, the Company management and
the forensic accounting advisers examined the adequacy of certain
historical accounting practices and concluded that it would be
necessary to make a prior period adjustment (PPA) in the 2004 financial
statements for failure in the past to book reserves to cover certain
asset impairments and doubtful receivables. Management and its forensic
accounting advisors believe the required PPA will be in the range of
US$3 to US$4 million.</p>
<p style="font-family:serif;font-weight:normal;color:#000000;font-size:10pt;  width: 456pt; text-align: left; font-style: normal; line-height: 12pt; padding-top:6pt; padding-left:0pt; padding-right:0pt; padding-bottom: 0pt; margin: 0pt; text-indent: 20pt; background-color: #ffffff">Notwithstanding these determinations, the
Company&rsquo; auditors have refused to concur. The Company believes
its auditors may have an undisclosed conflict of interest on the
question of the need for a PPA. The Company believes also that this
conflict, coupled with the failure of the auditors to timely complete
the 2004 audit in the first instance, could result in even further
substantial delays in providing 2004 audited financial statements to
shareholders. Accordingly, the Company determined it was in its best
interests to terminate Ernst &amp; Young.</p>
<p style="font-family:serif;font-weight:normal;color:#000000;font-size:10pt;  width: 456pt; text-align: left; font-style: normal; line-height: 12pt; padding-top:6pt; padding-left:0pt; padding-right:0pt; padding-bottom: 0pt; margin: 0pt; text-indent: 20pt; background-color: #ffffff">In addition, Ernst
&amp; Young provided notice that it would not stand for re-election as
the Company&rsquo;s auditors for 2005.</p>
<p style="font-family:serif;font-weight:normal;color:#000000;font-size:10pt;  width: 456pt; text-align: left; font-style: normal; line-height: 12pt; padding-top:6pt; padding-left:0pt; padding-right:0pt; padding-bottom: 6pt; margin: 0pt; text-indent: 20pt; background-color: #ffffff">The Company hopes that it
will be able to announce its new auditors shortly and then proceed to
complete the audit of its 2004 financial statements as expeditiously as
possible.</p>
