COMPANY PROVIDES NOTICE OF LATE FINANCIAL FILING

TORONTO, February 17, 2005– Eiger Technology, Inc. (TSX: AXA OTCBB: ETIFF) (“Eiger”) wishes to inform its shareholders that it has been delayed in filing its financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2004 (the “Year End Financials”) and for the quarter ended December 31, 2004 (the “Quarterly Financials”).

The Company anticipates that it will file the Year End Financials, originally due on February 17, 2005, on or before February 28, 2005.  The Company anticipates that it will file the Quarterly Financials, originally due on February 14, 2005, on or before February 28, 2005.

The delay in filing the Year End Financials results primarily from the recent disposition of one of the Company’s operating subsidiaries, K-Tronik International Corp. and the challenge of integrating this disposition into the Company’s Year End Financials.

The Company notes that, as a result of recent changes to continuous disclosure requirements in Canada, the Quarterly Financials became due before the previous Year End Financials.  This is a situation which occurs only this year with the implementation of new financial statement filing deadlines contained in NI 51-102.

Under the rules of the Ontario Securities Commission and the Company’s other reporting jurisdictions, the Company’s directors and officers will be prohibited by OSC Order from effecting any trade in securities of the Company until such time as the Year End Financials and the Quarterly Financials have been filed.  The OSC Order will not affect the general public’s ability to trade the Company’s securities and will not interrupt trading on the TSX Exchange.
