Notes:
(1) As at the LPD, Bertam has utilised RM87.18 million for repayment of principal of RM80.96 million and interests of RM6.22 million. As at LPD, the total principal loan outstanding amounting to RM28.93 million comprises RM11.50 million and RM17.43 million due to OCBC Bank (Malaysia) Berhad and Public Bank Berhad respectively. The principal loan outstanding as at LPD excludes interest. Bertam will partially settle the outstanding loan of RM28.93 million via Cheras Lands Proceeds of RM14.36 million and the balance of RM14.57 million via internally generated funds.
Despite the Company has not utilised the Cheras Lands Proceeds based on the estimated timeframe as set out in its Circular for Cheras Lands Disposal, the Company has been promptly servicing its bank loans based on its loan schedules by way of partly utilising the Cheras Lands Proceeds and supplementing its loan repayments with internally-generated funds as well as proceeds from the Gemencheh Lands Disposal. For the avoidance of doubt, there has been no event of default since the Company has been servicing its loan promptly from the date of the EGM held on 14 October 2016 up to the LPD.
(2) As at LPD, Bertam has utilised approximately RM18.20 million for working capital for day-to-day operations to support its existing business operations. The Board of Bertam wishes to allocate additional RM7.26 million for working capital expenses within the stipulated 36 months from the date of EGM held on 14 October 2016.
The breakdown of utilised funds for working capital of RM18.20 million as follows:-
RM(in millions) Overdraft interest, commitment fees and bank charges 1.74 Hire purchase instalments 0.21 Salaries to employees and office expenses 12.97 Sales commission - Cheras Lands, Gemencheh Lands and others 3.28
18.20
The breakdown of the additional RM7.26 million to be allocated for working capital expenses are as follows:-
RM(in millions) Hire purchase instalments 0.27 Salaries to employees and office expenses 5.71 Sales commission for property units 0.07 Preliminary expenses for property development projects(2A) 1.21
7.26
(2A) The property development projects that the Group are currently involved are: (a) JV Residential Project Development on Lot A Lands; (b) JV Commercial Project Development on Lot B Lands and Lot C Lands; and (c) Idaman Residence on Lot G Land.
Lot A Lands, Lot B Lands, Lot C Lands and Lot G Land are all adjacent lands to each other, thus the abovementioned projects shall give rise to a catchment area of approximately 35.72 acres, comprising of residential and commercial sections. The lands are located strategically within a rapid growth commercial hub of Kota Kinabalu and Penampang, close to Kota Kinabalu International Airport and Donggongon, the Greater Kota Kinabalu, and are easily accessible via major highways.
At the moment, SHSB is in the process of applying for approval for the proposed development plans to be undertaken on Lot A Lands. SASB is applying for the same for Lot B Lands and Lot C Lands. The approval for development plan of Lot G Land has been obtained on 14 May 2015 and revalidated on 26 March 2018. Moving forward, the Group shall apply for revalidation on building plan and approval on housing developers license from the relevant authorities to commence construction on Lot G Land.

Pending utilisation of the funds allocated for the above purposes, the funds are currently placed in money market deposit accounts with financial institutions, earning an interest rate between 2.95% to 3.50% per annum. The interest income derived from the fixed deposits placed with the financial institutions and money market will be either used as additional working capital or repayment of bank borrowings based on the Board’s discretion.
3. RATIONALE FOR THE PROPOSED VARIATION
The Proposed Variation provides for additional working capital to support existing business operations of our Group and expansion of its property development projects in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah. The Group is currently pursuing three property development projects, namely the JV Residential Project Development on Lot A Lands, the JV Commercial Project Development on Lot B Lands and Lot C Lands and a proposed residential development known as the Idaman Residence on Lot G Land.
The Proposed Variation is necessary to provide working capital to the Group’s pipeline projects as the typical property development project has a gestation period between two (2) to four (4) years before it can generate cash flow. Given the nature of the property development business, a higher level of working capital is usually required in the early stages of any property development project as it involves infrastructure costs such as earthworks, road, sewerage and drainage systems, electricity and water supply as well as landscaping works. Bertam will seek separate shareholders’ ratification for the JVs concerning Lot A Lands, Lot B Lands and Lot C Lands, as well as shareholders’ approval on the Proposed Acquisition of Lot G Land.
The Proposed Variation will enable Bertam Group to exploit the anticipated favourable Sabah property market condition, which is set out in Section 4 of this Circular, and to undertake profitable projects without any disruption in funding shortage. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, Bertam Group is confident that the allocation for additional working capital from the Cheras Lands Proceeds shall be able to strengthen the Group’s financial position moving forward.
4. ECONOMY AND PROSPECTS OVERVIEW
4.1 Overview of the Sabah economy
The launching of the Tanjung Aru Eco-Development, the expected completion in 2018 of the SICC and SITC augur well for the tourism sector. Tourism in Sabah has grown with arrivals in 2017 reaching 3.43 million visitors, the highest ever recorded in Sabah.
The upgrading of Sapangar Bay Container Port, the Air Freight and Aviation Masterplan Study, the Sabah Animation and Creative Centre, the Sabah Agro-Industrial Precinct as well as implementation of the Pan Borneo Highway will set the transformation agenda. Sabah is set to be one of the preferred destinations for investment in business, culture and nature in the East Asian region. The Pan Borneo Highway will enhance connectivity between the various economic clusters under SDC and the SDC Blueprint v.2.0 will identify new economic clusters and zones made possible by this development.

The OECD has forecasted the global economy to grow 3.6% in 2018, the fastest in six years. In line with the expected global economic recovery, Malaysia’s first quarter GDP growth in 2017 had rebounded strongly to 5.6%.
Sabah is expected to maintain a stronger GDP growth rate of at least between 5% and 5.5%, as the world economy and commodity prices recover. This in turn will spur export sectors, especially the petrochemical and palm oil industries. The state’s economy is expected to continue benefitting from the services sub-sectors, especially tourism, construction and logistics. Incidence of poverty in Sabah is on a downward trend. The 4% poverty incidence recorded in 2014 has continued to decline to 2.9% in 2016.

4.2 Overview of the overall property industry in Sabah
It is expected that the market for 2018 would remain stagnant and be anticipated to recover in second half of 2018 due to the following factors:
(i) The world’s highest petroleum price is at USD55 per barrel and palm oil at RM2,700 per tonne;
(ii) Ringgit Malaysia strengthened in the first quarter of 2018 and has appreciated below RM4 – USD1;
(iii) With the recent Budget 2018 announcement, it is expected that the federal government would pump in more infrastructure fund into Sabah, resulting in higher GDP growth. Furthermore, tax incentives and other subsidies to the bottom 40% and middle 40% income groups would encourage healthier market sentiment;
(iv) Government may introduce innovative policies such as the step-up financing scheme and other measures to boost the effective demand for affordable property;
(v) With regards to the retail commercial and shopping mall and luxury property development aspect, SHAREDA is expecting to see a reduction of launches in the market due to stringent Banking Financing Policy; and
(vi) The 14th general election that would be held no later than the first half of the year of 2018 would restore the various uncertainties and secure the positive market confidence and sentiment in the second half of the year.

5. EFFECTS OF THE PROPOSED VARIATION
The Proposed Variation will not have any effect on the share capital and the substantial shareholders’ shareholdings of the Company, nor will it have any immediate effect on Bertam Group’s earnings and net assets. However, the Proposed Variation is expected to contribute positively to the future earnings of the Bertam Group due to its facilitating the Group’s expansion into property development projects in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah.

6
As per the Circular for Cheras Lands Disposal, the full repayment of loans and borrowings of RM110.00 million would have resulted in zero gearing for the Group.
As at 31 December 2017, the Group’s loans and borrowings stood at RM50.32 million, which translates into gearing ratio of approximately 0.24 times. The gearing ratio of the Group will reduce to 0.07 times, upon utilisation of RM101.55 million for repayment of loans and borrowings.
6. APPROVAL REQUIRED
The Proposed Variation is subject to the approval of the shareholders of the Company at a forthcoming EGM to be convened.
7. INTERESTS OF DIRECTORS, MAJOR SHAREHOLDERS AND/OR PERSONS CONNECTED TO THEM
None of the Directors and/or major shareholders of Bertam and/or persons connected to them have any interests, whether direct or indirect, in the Proposed Variation.
8. CORPORATE EXERCISES ANNOUNCED BUT PENDING COMPLETION
The Board is not aware of any other outstanding corporate proposal which has been announced but pending implementation or completion as at the LPD, save for the Proposed JV Ratifications and Proposed Acquisition. The Proposed Variation is not conditional or inter-conditional on any other corporate proposals of Bertam.

In the Appeal Court of MalaysiaAppeal Civil Suit No. W-02(C)(A)-1277-0/2017BDSB ("Appellant") vs RCT ("Respondent")
On 20 December 2017, the solicitors acting for the Petitioner served a sealed copy of the Winding Up by Court dated 30 November 2017 and Sealed Allocator dated 19 December 2017 (“Winding-up Order”) against BDSB, which is a major subsidiary of Bertam.
The particulars of the Winding-up Order are as follows:-
(i) That BDSB will be wound by the High Court of Malaya at Kuala Lumpur under the provisions of the Act;
(ii) That the official receiver be appointed as liquidator of BDSB; and
(iii) Cost of RM5,000.00 payable to the allocator.
The circumstances leading to the Winding-up Order against BDSB was due to default of outstanding payment of RM4,568,203.47 as at 25 July 2017 and continuing interest at the rate of 7.65% per annum on RM4,111,267.73 from 26 July 2017 until full and final realisation of the total sum due and owing to RCT for payments claims on construction work.
The Company has filed in the Court of Appeal on 10 July 2017 to appeal against the adjudicator decision dated 19 February 2017 and currently awaiting its decision.
On 24 January 2018, BDSB received a letter from its solicitors informing that BDSB has filed an appeal for the winding-up petition to the Court of Appeal for setting aside the winding up on the grounds of abuse of process which appeal is pending.
The appeal on jurisdictional objection to the adjudicator’s order under Court of Appeal was given due consideration by the Federal Court of Malaysia. Following the hearing on 30 March 2018, the Court has fixed the case for continued hearing and/or decision on 23 April 2018.

Subsequently, on 8 May 2018, BDSB had made a payment of RM4,670,165.26 via bank draft to RCT, being the full and final settlement of the sum due for payments claims on construction work. Further to the above settlement, the parties shall enter a consent judgement on 21 May 2018 and the hearing fixed on 21 May 2018 to be withdrawn without order as to cost.
On 21 May 2018, BDSB received a letter from its solicitors informing that the appeal for the winding-up petition has been withdrawn in the Court of Appeal pursuant to the full settlement of BDSB’s debts with RCT.
