Reply to Bursa Malaysia's Query Letter - Reference ID: NN-101029-43548

Subject: ASTRAL SUPREME BERHAD ("ASTRAL" OR "COMPANY")
- Proposed Par Value Reduction;
- Proposed M&A Amendments;
- Proposed Rights Issues; and
- Proposed Set-Off

(Collectively referred to as the "Proposals")

Contents: With reference to the Company's announcement dated 28 October 2010 and the letter from Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad ("Bursa Securites") dated 29 October 2010 in relation to the Proposals, the following are the additional information requested by Bursa Securities for public release:

1) Total borrowings of the Astral Group ("Group") as at 31 October 2010 were approximately RM16,000,000. The proposed repayment of part of the Group's bank borrowings amounting to RM4,500,000 is expected to contribute to net interest savings of approximately RM360,000 per annum based on the interest rate of 8.5% per annum.

2) In view that the Proposed Rights Issues requires the requisite authorities' approvals and time to completion, the Group had earlier sought advances from Ooi Chieng Sim, a director and substantial shareholder as stated in Section 2.4 of the announcement dated 28 October 2010, to bridge the Group working capital requirements pending the completion of the fund raising exercise. Effectively, the working capital to be raised for the Group is the aggregate of the quantum of advances of RM9,000,000 to be repaid and the working capital of RM900,000. In this regards, the RM900,000, earmarked for working capital to be raised from the Proposed Rights Issues based on the minimum subscription level will be sufficient for the Group's funding requirements for its current projects.

3) The Proposals is expected to result in net interest savings arising from the repayment of bank borrowings of approximately RM360,000 per annum, which will improve the earnings of the Group. In addition, as explained above, the advances were essentially working capital for the Group to bridge the funds to be raised pursuant to the proposed fund raising exercise pending its completion. This will have positive contributions towards the future earnings of the Group. Further, the surplus of proceeds arising beyond the minimum subscription level will be utilised to secure and finance more future projects which will enhance the future earnings of the Group.

This announcement is dated 1 November 2010.

Query Letter content: We refer to your Company's announcement dated 28 October 2010, in respect of
the aforesaid matter.

In this connection, kindly furnish Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad ("Bursa
Securities") with the following additional information for public release:-

Total bank borrowings as at the latest date and the net interest saving per
annum as a result of the repayment of borrowings;
Given that the Proposed Rights Issue will be undertaken on the minimum
subscription level basis and the amount of funds earmarked for the working
capital is only RM900,000, please justify and elaborate further on whether the
Proposed Rights Issue will be sufficient for the Group's funding requirement;
and
Further elaboration on how the Proposals will contribute positively to the
future earnings of the Group in view that the substantial amount of proceeds
will be used for repayment of advances and retirement of borrowings (minimum
subscription level).

Yours faithfully,
