Reply to Bursa Malaysia's Query Letter - Reference ID: IJ-110202-51311

Subject: ORIENTAL HOLDINGS BERHAD ("OHB")
- INVESTMENT IN PT GUNUNG SAWIT SELATAN LESTARI ("PT GSSL")

Description: Further to our announcement on 31 January 2011, Oriental Holdings Berhad wishes to announce the following additional information :

1. PT GSSL is dormant currently. The intended business activity is the cultivation of oil palm plantation and related activities.

2. The existing Director of PT GSSL is Tuan Effendi Suryono (Passport No. R846610) and the existing Commissioner is Tuan Karli Boenjamin (Passport No. U170601).

3. PT GSSL was incorporated on 1 June 2010 and as such, does not have any audited accounts todate.

Based on its management accounts, the unaudited loss as at 31.12.10 was Rp 172,179,324 (approximately RM 59,000) and the Net Asset of PT GSSL as at 31.12.2010 was Rp. 1,077,820,676 (approximately RM 370,000).

4. The acquisition is for 90% interest in PT GSSL.

On securing the final approval on 3 January 2011 from Menteri Hukum dan Hak Asasi Manusia Republik Indonesia for the acquisition, PT GSSL's issued and paid up capital will be increased to Rp. 15,000,000,000 (Rupiah Fifteen Billion) as approved by the Badan Koordinasi Penanaman Modal of Indonesia on 17 December 2010.

5. The term "INTI" refers to the concession rights to the Land which belongs to the PT GSSL. Under the Izin Lokasi (Location Permit) 20% of the concession rights to the Land is reserved for the locals, meaning that 80% of the concession rights to the Land belongs to PT GSSL.

6. The Location Permit, dated 8 July 2010, is issued for thirty six months (3 years) with an extension of 12 months (1 year) subject to the relevant approvals.

7. PT GSSL has obtained the Izin Usaha Perkebunan, dated 8 October 2010.

PT GSSL has the concession rights to develop the Land into a palm oil plantation. The title to the Land will be issued after the Land has been developed. Accordingly, at this point in time - no valuation of the Land is applicable.

9. As explained in Item No. 3 and 8 above, PT GSSL has no audited financial statements to date and no value has been attached to the Land. PT GSSL currently has the concessions rights to develop the land stated in the Location Permit.

10. The acquisition price of USD 400 per hectare for the INTI portion and USD 100 per hectare for the PLASMA portion has been arrived at on a willing buyer - willing seller basis and is considered reasonable if benchmarked with previous purchase costs.

11. The purchase consideration is via internally generated funds.

12. Based on the past sixteen years experience in the development of oil palm plantations in Indonesia and given the good soils and climatic conditions at PT GSSL and the assistance and support by our local partner, we are confident to develop the Lands into a oil palm plantation within the time frame allowed by the local authorities.

The Board is confident that the acquisition will further enhance the plantation division's contribution to OHB's performance.

13. With sixteen years of working experience in the oil palm industry in Indonesia, we are aware of the cross border risks, the industry risks and other risks on the acquisition and will continue to put in place the necessary controls and action plans to mitigate those risks.

14. All Indonesian regulatory approvals have been obtained. Regulatory approvals, if any, from Malaysia will be obtained where required.

This announcement is dated 7 February 2011.
