Reference is made to the query letter from Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad dated 11 May 2011 in respect of the Company's announcement dated 10 May 2011 in relation to the above.
The Company hereby furnished the additional information for public release:
(1) The estimated additional financial commitment required in relation to the Proposed Business Diversification.
Apart from the working capital required of approximately RM3 million to purchase the ferrous and non-ferrous metal commodities and to meet the operating expenses relating to the Proposed Business Diversification such as staffs' salaries, delivery charges of ferrous and non-ferrous metal commodities to the Group's customers, etc., the Group does not expect to incur additional financial commitment required in relation to the Proposed Business Diversification. As the Group is only involved in trading of ferrous and non-ferrous metal commodities presently, the management of SerSol opines that the recently purchase slitting machine is sufficient for the Group to carry on with its Proposed Business Diversification.
(2) Whether the Proposed Business Diversification is subject to the approval of the relevant government authorities, and the estimated timeframe for submission of the application to the relevant authorities.
The Proposed Business Diversification is not subject to the approval of the relevant government authorities and hence, there is no application required to be submitted to the relevant authorities.
