(The terms used herein, unless the context otherwise stated, bear the same meaning as those defined in the announcement dated 5 October 2009 in relation to the Proposed Private Placement ("Announcement").

We refer to our Announcement and the query letter from Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad dated 7 October 2009 requesting for additional information in relation to the Proposed Private Placement.

On behalf of the Board, OSK wishes to announce the following:-

1) The breakdown between working capital and new overseas investment are set out below:-

Details of utilisation Amount of Proceeds (RM)
Working capital 25,800,000
New overseas investment 20,000,000
Estimated expenses 400,000
Total 46,200,000

2) The new overseas investment includes exploring and setting up of plants in China.

3) The Board views the Proposed Private Placement as the most appropriate avenue of raising funds as compared to other equity or debt financing options as it enables 3A to raise funds expeditiously and strengthen its balance sheet position without incurring interest costs, as compared to bank borrowings.

Furthermore, Wilmar, a strategic third party investor, had indicated its interest to participate in the Proposed Private Placement. Hence, the immediate funds to be obtained from the Proposed Private Placement would support the objectives of both 3A and Wilmar to collectively venture into any future overseas investment.
