BURSA ANNOUNCEMENTS

Contents :

In response to your letter ref: NS-040706-43320 dated 6 July 2004 in relation to an article entitled "Under-capitalised companies in a dilemma" published by The Edge Malaysia for the week of 5th to 11th July 2004, which quoted a market romour of possible asset injection into Bell & Order Berhad ("B&O" or the "Company").

We wish to inform Bursa Malaysia that we have considered corporate proposals that include possible acquisition of assets with the view of addressing the minimum capitalisation requirements imposed by the authorities. However we have to date not finalised any acquisition.

On 7 July 2004, Alliance Merchant Bank Berhad ("Alliance") had announced on our behalf that B&O proposes to undertake a private placement of new ordinary shares which will form part of a composite scheme to address the minimum capitalisation requirements.

At this juncture, the Company is in the midst of considering such plan and we have engaged Alliance as our adviser in respect of this exercise. The appropriate announcement on B&O's plan will be made in due course.
