SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA -- (Marketwire) -- 08/13/10 -- ISE Limited ("ISE" or the "Company") (TSX: ISE) announced today that it will not be able to meet the filing deadline of August 16, 2010 for the filing of its second quarter interim financial statements, CEO and CFO certifications and management's discussion and analysis (collectively the "Required Documents") for the six-month period ending June 30, 2010. The Company cannot confirm when it will be in a position to file the Required Documents.

The delay is a result of the Company's financial position. As announced in its press release of August 10th, the Company's principal operating subsidiary, ISE Corporation, has filed a voluntary petition to reorganize its business under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code. The Company does not currently have the available resources or capacity to have its auditors conduct a review engagement of the interim statements or to prepare management-prepared interim statements, nor does it believe that management-prepared statements would be appropriate in the circumstances.

Due to the failure to file the Required Documents, the applicable Canadian Securities Regulators may, in their discretion, determine that it would be appropriate to issue a general issuer cease trade order affecting all of the Company's securities.
