Reference is made to ABT's announcement dated 11 December 2012 and the query letter from Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad dated 14 December 2012 in relation to the said announcement. The Board of Directors of ABT wishes to inform Bursa Securities of the following in respect of the Query:

1.� The Board has been informed that an application by PNSB to Bank Negara Malaysia (“BNM”) on behalf of the various relevant vendors was made on 26 November 2012. However, BNM approval is not applicable to ABT as ABT does not have any credit facilities.

2. The consideration value was agreed between the majority vendors and BIP and furthermore ABT is not party to the appointment of the Valuer which arrived at the indicative valuation. ABT regards the discount of 31% over the indicative value of RM581 million as appropriate given current financial position of PNSB. PNSB recorded a loss after tax of RM32 million and net assets of RM1.4 million for the year ended 31 December 2011.

3.��ABT was not involved in the negotiation process of the price of the BIP shares to be issued as consideration under the Share Sale Agreement ("SSA").� However, from ABT’s viewpoint, the premium of 125% over the last quoted price of BIP of �0.031 on 10 December 2012 is justified taking into consideration the original issue price of the BIP shares upon its initial listing of �0.10 and the historical high of the quoted shares of BIP was once traded at a high of �0.27 when the company was first listed on AIM Market.

4.��The weighted average market price for the shares of BIP for the 5 market days before 10 December 2012, being the date on which the terms of the Proposed Disposal was agreed upon is �0.03015.

5.��Upon completion of the SSA, the enlarged BIP group shall have access to funds to further develop its business of using nanotechnology for the production of specialty chemicals and materials from renewable sources. The primary technologies of th enlarged BIP Group, i.e SimplatTM and CatalyxTM, have the potential to address the demand for cost effective biodegradable drilling fluids that meet both the environmental and functional demands for performance oilfield chemicals, amongst others.� With these technologies, BIP Group shall be able to produce very low cost esterquat which is used as an additive in production enhancement and drilling fluids within the oilfield market which in 2011, represents the second largest market segment for oilfield chemicals, valued at more than US$8.0 billion.

6.��The investment in PNSB is held as a simple investment in the accounts and thus the disposal will not have any impact on the operational earnings of ABT for 31 January 2013 and 31 January 2014. However, as disclosed in the original announcement, upon the completion of the Proposed Disposal anticipated by the end of the first quarter of 2013, ABT will record a net gain on disposal of approximately RM4.65 million or 1.22 sen per share.

7.��Assuming the Proposed Disposal is completed on 31 January 2012, the net assets of ABT will increase by 1.22 sen per share ie from 6.44 sen to 7.66 sen per share.

8.��There are no specific assumption of liabilities was specified in the SSA dated 10 December 2012.� PNSB as of the last audited account for the year ended 31 December 2011 has a total borrowing of RM93,111,895.
