This announcement is dated 30 September 2005.

Reference is made to the query letter issued by Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad dated 29 September 2005, in respect of the article entitled ES Ceramics aims for 35% revenue growth appearing in The Star, Starbiz, page 3.

On behalf of the Board of Directors of ES Ceramics, AmMerchant Bank Berhad, a member of AmInvestment Group, wishes to announce that the 35% revenue growth for the financial year ending 31 May 2006 is a target which the ES Ceramics Group is aiming to achieve. The 35% revenue growth does not represent the ES Ceramics Groups forecast for the financial year ending 31 May 2006. The 35% revenue growth is a target set in view of the additional production capacity which the new factory, located next to the ES Ceramics Groups existing factory, would provide. The new factory is expected to commence operations by December 2005.
