2.2 Proposed Private Placement

Bio Osmo proposes to undertake an issuance of up to 2,000,000,000 new Bio Osmo Shares to
independent third party investors to be identified (“Placement Shares”). The final issue size
and basis of allocation will be determined by the Board prior to the implementation of the
Proposals after taking into account, amongst others, the demand for the Placement Shares
and prevailing market conditions.

The Proposed Private Placement may be implemented in tranches within 6 months after the
receipt of all relevant approvals for the Proposed Private Placement and shall depend on
investors’ interest at the point of implementation. As such, there could potentially be several
price fixing dates depending on the number of tranches and timing of implementation.

The issue price of the Placement Shares shall be determined based on the following pricing
mechanism:

(i) The initial issue price of the Placement Shares has been fixed at RM0.05 per
Placement Share (“Initial Placement Price”). In accordance with Paragraph 6.13 of
the Main Market Listing Requirements of Bursa Securities (“Main LR”), payments for
this tranche of Placement Shares at the Initial Placement Price must be received
within 5 market days from the date of the Company’s shareholders’ approval for the
Proposed Private Placement.

(ii) For any other tranches of Placement Shares, the issue price of the Placement Shares
shall be fixed by the Board at a later date after obtaining the relevant approvals and
with a discount of not more than 10% to the 5D-VWAP of the Bio Osmo Shares
immediately preceding the price fixing date(s).

The above mechanism to determine the issue price of the Placement Shares is in accordance
with market based principles.

The Initial Placement Price was determined after taking into account the 5D-VWAP traded on
Bursa Securities up to and including 11 April 2018, being the market day preceding the date
of this announcement of RM0.0454. The Initial Placement Price represents a premium of
approximately 10.13% to the 5D-VWAP of Bio Osmo Shares up to and including 11 April
2018.

The Proposed Private Placement will not require any prospectus to be issued should the
issuance of Bio Osmo Shares falls under the relevant categories prescribed under Schedule 7
of the Capital Markets and Services Act, 2007 (“CMSA”) which includes inter-alia, the issuance
where the purchase consideration is not less than RM250,000 and the issuance is made to
high net worth individuals whose personal net worth exceed RM3,000,000 or corporations
with net assets exceeding RM10,000,000. The Placement Shares will not be placed to the
directors, major shareholders, chief executive or persons connected to them.

In addition, the Board of Bio Osmo is of the opinion that the Proposed Private Placement
represents the most effective means of fund raising without incurring interest costs as
compared to bank borrowings. Further, the Proposed Private Placement will strengthen the
capital base of Bio Osmo and put the enlarged Bio Osmo Group onto a stronger financial
footing to expand its business.

The Proposed Private Placement will not be underwritten. Notwithstanding that there will be
no underwriting arrangement and the issue size has not been finalised at this point in time,
the Company/Bio Osmo has appointed M&A Securities as the placement agent to place out
sufficient number of Placement Shares under the Proposed Private Placement (together with
Offer Shares under the Proposed Offer for Sale) in order to allow Bio Osmo to meet the public
spread requirements upon listing on the Main Market of Bursa Securities.

15
The Placement Shares shall, upon allotment and issue, rank equally in all respects with the
then existing Bio Osmo Shares.

An application will be made to Bursa Securities for the listing of and quotation for the
Placement Shares on the Main Market of Bursa Securities.

Based on the Initial Placement Price of RM0.05 per share and an issue size of up to
2,000,000,000 Placement Shares, the Proposed Private Placement will raise gross proceeds of
RM100,000,000 which will be utilised for the following:

Expected time frame for


RM‟000 Note utilisation of proceeds

Repayment of bank borrowings 39,700 (i) Within 6 months from the


listing of the Placement Shares

Repayment of advances from 33,723 (ii) Within 1 month from the listing
shareholders of the Placement Shares

Future expansion of hospitality 18,577 (iii) Within 12 months from the


assets / working capital listing of the Placement Shares

Estimated expenses for the 8,000 (iv) Within 1 month from the listing
Proposals of the Placement Shares

Total estimated proceeds 100,000

Notes:

(i) Repayment of bank borrowings

As at 31 December 2017, the total borrowings of Astaka Mekar amounts to RM39.70


million. Upon completion of the Proposed Acquisitions and the Proposed Private
Placement, Bio Osmo proposes to utilise RM39.70 million from the proceeds of
Proposed Private Placement for the repayment of outstanding bank borrowings
withdrawn by Astaka Mekar.

Details of the bank borrowings to be repaid are as follows:

Total borrowings as
Interest at 31 December Repayment
rate 2017 amount
Bank borrowing (%) (RM‟000) (RM‟000)

Term loan 6.97 37,700 37,700


Overdraft facility 6.97 2,000 2,000

39,700 39,700

Based on the effective interest rate of approximately 6.97% per annum, Astaka Mekar
is expected to generate an annual interest savings of approximately RM2.77 million per
annum.

Resulting from the above, the future interest expenses of the Group are expected to
reduce and hence improve its cash flow position.

16
(ii) Repayment of advances from shareholders

As at 31 December 2017, the Acquisition Targets have amounts owing to Impiana SB


totalling RM33.72 million as follows:

Amount owing
Acquisition Targets (RM‟000)
(a) Impiana Cherating Sdn Bhd 22,514
(b) Astaka Mekar 15,024
(c) Impiana Ipoh Hotel 5,859
(d) Impiana Pangkor 3,464
(e) Impiana Management (13,139)*
33,723

Note:

* Amount owing by Impiana SB to Impiana Management to be offset against


amount owing to Impiana SB.

Upon completion of the Proposed Acquisitions and the Proposed Private Placement, Bio
Osmo proposes to utilise RM33.72 million from the proceeds of the Proposed Private
Placement for the settlement of the abovementioned shareholder’s advances.

Impiana SB intends to utilise the proceeds from the repayment to pay down its bank
borrowings amounting to RM32.50 million for which Impiana Pangkor’s properties have
been charged as collateral. Impiana SB has undertaken to fully redeem the properties
owned by Impiana Pangkor and ensure that the properties are free from
encumbrances.

(iii) Future expansion of hospitality assets / working capital

The Company intends to utilise up to RM18.58 million of the proceeds from the
Proposed Private Placement to fund future acquisition of hospitality assets, the upgrade
of existing hospitality assets and/or working capital.

To-date, the Company has yet to identify any assets to be acquired. The relevant
announcements, if deemed necessary, shall be released as and when the Company
identifies suitable assets.

This will also provide the Company with ready funds should the need for refurbishment
or upgrade of existing hospitality assets arise. In addition, the Company can also tap
into these proceeds for general working capital for both its hotel management and
development operations, which includes payments to suppliers and/or sub-contractors,
sales and marketing expenses, payment of salaries, utilities and other general expenses
related to the day-to-day operations of the enlarged Group.

(iv) Estimated expenses for the Proposals

The estimated expenses of RM8.00 million comprise of the following:

Details RM‟000
(a) Professional fees 1,500
(b) Placement fees 3,500
(c) Taxes payable 2,590
(d) Miscellaneous* 410
8,000

17
Note:

* Including the fees payable to authorities, printing and advertising fees, EGM
related fees.

If the actual expenses incurred pursuant to the Proposals are higher than the amount
budgeted, the deficit will be funded out of the portion allocated for working capital.
Conversely, if the actual expenses are lower than the amount budgeted, the excess will
be utilised for working capital.

Pending utilisation, the proceeds will be placed in deposits with financial institutions or short-
term money market instruments. The Company shall provide periodic updates of the
utilisation of proceeds as part of the Group's quarterly result releases.

2.3 Proposed Offer for Sale

DS Farouk (“Selling Shareholder”) will undertake an offer for sale of up to 1,000,000,000 Bio
Osmo Shares (“Offer Shares”) to be held by him upon completion of the Proposed
Acquisitions, to independent third party investors to be identified at an offer price of RM0.05
per Offer Share (“Proposed Offer for Sale”).

The Proposed Offer for Sale will not require any prospectus to be issued should the offer of
Offer Shares falls under the relevant categories prescribed under Schedule 6 of the CMSA
which includes inter-alia offers where the purchase consideration is not less than RM250,000
and issuance is made to high net worth individuals whose personal net worth exceed
RM3,000,000 or corporations with net assets exceeding RM10,000,000.

The Offer Shares will not be placed to the directors, major shareholders, chief executive of
the Company or persons connected to them.

The offer price of RM0.05 per Offer Share was arrived at after taking into account, amongst
others the following:

(i) the issue price of the Consideration Shares/ICPS of RM0.05;

(ii) the future earnings potential of the Acquisition Targets; and

(iii) the 5D-VWAP of the Bio Osmo Shares up to and including 11 April 2018 (being the
market day immediately preceding the date of this announcement) of RM0.0454.

All expenses incurred in connection with the Proposed Offer for Sale will be borne by the
Selling Shareholder. As part of the implementation process for the Proposed Offer for Sale,
the Company shall have the right to credit the Selling Shareholder’s entitlement to the new
Consideration Shares under the Proposed Acquisitions directly into the Central Depository
System account of the independent third party investors to be identified.

2.4 Proposed Amendments

The Proposed Amendments entail changes to certain clauses of the Constitution of Bio Osmo in
order to facilitate the issuance of the ICPS.

2.5 Proposed Change of Name

The Board proposes to change the Company’s name from “Bio Osmo Berhad” to “Impiana
Hotels (Malaysia) Berhad”. The Proposed Change of Name, if approved by the Shareholders,
will take effect from the date of the Certificate of Incorporation on Change of Name to be
issued by the Companies Commission of Malaysia to the Company.

18
3. SALIENT TERMS OF THE AGREEMENTS

The salient terms of the Agreements are set out in Appendix I.

4. RATIONALE FOR THE PROPOSALS

4.1 Proposed Acquisitions

Bio Osmo had on 26 October 2016 completed the placement of 224,397,000 new shares
which raised total proceeds of RM11.22 million. From the said proceeds, RM9.02 million was
utilised to subscribe for 75% equity interest in Intra Magnum, which is involved in the
hospitality business.

The diversification into the hospitality businesses which took place in 2016 has been
contributing profits whilst the bottled drinking water division is incurring losses. Based on the
audited consolidated financial statement of Bio Osmo for the financial year ended (“FYE”) 30
June 2017 and unaudited consolidated financial statements of Bio Osmo for the 6 months
financial period ended (“FPE”) 31 December 2017, the revenue and profit segmentations of
Bio Osmo are as follows:

Audited Unaudited FPE


FYE 30 June 31 December
2017 2017
Segment revenue and results (RM„000) (RM„000)

Revenue:
- Bottled water 4,151 1,041
- Hospitality business 4,699 1,577
- Others 256 -
9,106 2,618

Net profits/(loss) after tax


- Bottled water (11,126) (1,334)
- Hospitality business 2,075 324
- Other unallocated expenses (2,021) (1,217)
(11,072) (2,227)

The Group’s hospitality business contributed 51.6% and 60.2% of the Group’s revenue for
the FYE 2017 and the FPE 31 December 2017 respectively. The hospitality business has also
been contributing positively to the Group’s financial position while the bottled drinking water
division recorded losses in both the FYE 2017 and FPE 31 December 2017. As such, the
hospitality business is the main contributor to the revenue and profits of the Group.

The Proposed Acquisitions will allow the Company to further expand its existing hospitality
business, improve the financial performance of the Group and enhance shareholder value.

In addition, the Proposed Acquisitions will allow the Group to leverage on the expertise of
existing members of the Board, namely Azrin, the Chief Operating Officer of the Impiana SB
and Executive Director of Bio Osmo, who oversees the hospitality division of the Group.

19
4.2 Proposed Private Placement

The Proposed Private Placement is undertaken primarily to provide Bio Osmo with additional
capital to fund the repayment of bank borrowings, repayment of advances, defray the
expenses for the Proposals, facilitate future business investments/expansion and provide the
Company with additional working capital and funding requirements for the Acquisition
Targets, which is expected to contribute positively to the earnings potential of the enlarged
Bio Osmo Group in the future.

After due consideration of the various options available, the Board of Bio Osmo is of the view
that the Proposed Private Placement is the most appropriate avenue to raise funds without
incurring interest costs and to minimise any potential cash outflow in respect of interest
servicing costs.

4.3 Proposed Offer for Sale

The Proposed Offer for Sale is undertaken to allow Bio Osmo to meet the public spread
requirements upon listing on the Main Market of Bursa Securities.

4.4 Proposed Amendments

The Proposed Amendments is to facilitate the issuance of the ICPS pursuant to the Proposed
Acquisitions.

4.5 Proposed Change of Name

The Company proposes to change its name to “Impiana Hotels (Malaysia) Berhad to better
reflect its principal business activity and the corporate identity of the Company upon the
completion of the Proposed Acquisitions.

5. INDUSTRY OUTLOOK AND PROSPECTS

5.1 Overview and outlook of the Malaysian Economy

The Malaysian economy recorded a sterling growth of 5.7% during the first six months of
2017 underpinned by strong domestic demand and reinforced by improved external sector.
Given the robust economic growth during the first half, real GDP for the year is expected to
strengthen further between 5.2% and 5.7% (2016: 4.2%), surpassing the earlier estimates.
Accordingly, gross national income (GNI) at current prices is estimated to expand 9.1% to
RM1.3 trillion (2016: 6.2%; RM1.2 trillion), with income per capita increasing 7.7% to
RM40,713 (2016: 4.7%; RM37,791).

Aggregate domestic demand is expected to remain resilient, primarily driven by private sector
expenditure, while the public sector gradually consolidates. Of significance, private
consumption will continue to support economic growth. The propensity to consume will be
enhanced by stable labour market, higher export earnings and manageable inflation amid low
interest rate environment. Meanwhile, private investment is projected to expand at a stronger
pace supported by higher capital outlays, particularly in the services and manufacturing
sectors. Investments will also be supported by steady inflows of foreign direct investment.

On the supply side, growth will be supported by stronger performance across all sectors with
services and manufacturing remaining as the main drivers of growth. The services sector is
projected to expand at a faster rate, reflecting stronger expansion across most subsectors,
particularly wholesale and retail trade; information and communication; as well as food and
beverages and accommodation. Within the manufacturing sector, the export-oriented
industries are projected to expand significantly following higher global demand for

20
semiconductors. Similarly, growth in the domestic-oriented industries will strengthen
following improved demand for consumer products and construction-related materials. In the
agriculture sector, growth is expected to be supported by the recovery in output of crude
palm oil and rubber. The construction sector will be led by higher civil engineering activities
while the mining sector continues to expand, though at a slower pace supported by higher
production of natural gas.

Malaysia’s external position is estimated to remain resilient in line with the increase in global
trade activities. The current account is forecast to improve mainly backed by sizeable surplus
in the goods account. Impetus to export growth is expected to stem from strong demand for
electrical and electronics and commodities. Meanwhile, imports will continue to increase in
line with strong domestic investment activities.

5.2 Overview and prospects of the Malaysia Tourism Industry

In 2018, the tourism industry accounted for 14.8% of the Country’s gross domestic product
and generated 3.2 million employment. However in 2016, Malaysia recorded 26.8 million
tourist arrivals with receipts amounting to RM81.2 billion, lower than the Economic
Transformation Plan’s 2016 target of 30.5 billion tourists and RM103 billion generated from
tourist spending. In particular, lower tourist arrivals, spending and shorter length of stays
contributed to the significant difference between the actual and targeted tourist receipts.
Thus it is essential to attract high net worth individuals to boost tourism revenue.

The Government continues to implement various ecotourism projects to accelerate the


growth of the tourism industry. The projects include the upgrading of infrastructure in
Burlington Taman Kinabalu and Tabin’s Wildlife Reserve in Sabah and Sungai Cherating in
Pahang. Furthermore, efforts were intensified to promote Malaysia as the preferred tourist
destination through Visit ASEAN@50 campaign, and the hosting of the 29th South East Asian
Games and the 9th ASEAN Para Games in 2017. To attract tourist arrivals in 2018, the e-Visa
was expanded to include more countries such as Bhutan, Sri Lanka, Serbia and Montenegro.

To sustain the role of the services sector as the key driver of growth, the Government will
accelerate the implementation of the Services Sector Blueprint and the Logistics and Trade
Facilitation Masterplan. Within the sector, the Governments’ emphasis is on the development
of tourism, including medical tourism, logistics and venture capital industries. With regards to
tourism, Malaysia comparative advantage in scenery, hospitality customs and culture, quality
of food and friendliness of local people will be leveraged to attract a significant share of
tourist flows to the region. To facilitate the strategic development of Malaysia’s healthcare
travel industry and to raise the country’s profile as a globally preferred destination for world-
class healthcare services, more new hospitals will be developed and exiting ones upgraded.
At the same time, promotions will be enhanced to showcase the country’s dual heritage of
warm hospitality and world-class healthcare services in new markets and facilitate the entry
of medical tourists.

5.3 Prospects of the enlarged Bio Osmo Group

The Bio Osmo Group is principally involved in the hospitality business as well as processing,
manufacturing and distribution of drinking water and other beverages.

Over the past years, the Bio Osmo Group has faced continuous challenges in the bottled
drinking water business due to increasing competition and rising production costs. In 2016,
the Group diversified into the hospitality business which has contributed positively to the
Company.

21
The Group’s hospitality business contributed 51.6% and 60.2% to the Group’s revenue for
the FYE 2017 and the FPE 31 December 2017 respectively. The hospitality business has also
been contributing positively to the Group’s financial position while the bottled drinking water
division incurred losses in both the FYE 2017 and FPE 31 December 2017. As such the Group
anticipates that the hospitality business will continue to be the main revenue contributor to
the Group. The Group expects that the expansion of its hospitality business after the
Proposed Acquisitions will allow the Group to benefit further from the profitability of Impiana
Group.

In addition to its existing operations, the 7 parcels of land held under Impiana Cherating and
Intra Magnum will be redeveloped into a new resort known as “Impiana Resort & Residences
Cherating” in Cherating, Pahang and will comprise of 486 units of service suites, 18 units of
semi-detached villas and 42 units of private villas upon completion. The Impiana Group shall
adopt a sale and leaseback model for all the service suites, which will allow the Group to
derive revenue from both the sale of the units as well as the management and operations of
the units upon completion.

Impiana Resort & Residences Cherating redevelopment is expected to have an estimated


gross development value of RM413.08 million. After taking into the gross development costs
of RM297.12 million, the Impiana Cherating expects to generate a total pre-tax profit of
RM115.96 million from the said project.

Upon completion of the redevelopment, Impiana Cherating shall be involved in the provision
of hospitality services to travellers to the locality of Impiana Resort & Residences Cherating
as well as banquet and/or function facilities for events.

Further thereto, it is also envisaged that the hospitality business of the Group will continute
to expand via the development of a resort comprising of 100 units of villas by Impiana
Pangkor on its property located on Pangkor Island, Perak, which is presently vacant, with
gross development costs of RM61.34 million.

6. RISK FACTORS

6.1 Completion risks

(i) Delay / non-completion of the Proposed Acquisitions

The completion of the Proposed Acquisitions is conditional upon the conditions


precedent in the Agreements as set out in Appendix I. If the conditions precedent
are not met within the stipulated period or such extension of time agreed between
the Company and the Vendors, the Proposed Acquisition will not be completed.

The Board will take reasonable steps to ensure that the conditions precedent in the
Agreements are met in order to complete the Proposed Acquisitions. Notwithstanding
the above, there is no assurance that such steps taken by the Board will yield the
desired outcomes.

(ii) Failure / delay in the listing of the Consideration Shares, Settlement


Shares and Placement Shares

Any delay to listing of the Consideration Shares and Placement Shares on Bursa
Securities as well as the issuance of the Consideration ICPS could result in the
Agreements being terminated.

22
These delays may arise from amongst others, the delay in meeting the conditions
precedent for the SSA, inability of the Company to obtain approval from Bursa
Securities for the listing and quotation of the Consideration Shares and Placement
Shares on Bursa Securities, or the inability of the Company to obtain its shareholders’
approval.

The Board will take reasonable steps to ensure that the Proposals will be
implemented in in a timely manner. Notwithstanding the above, there is no assurance
that such steps taken by the Board will yield the desired outcomes.

6.2 Industry risks

(i) The travel and tourism industries are dependent on changes in the
economic environment

Spending on travel and tourism is discretionary and price sensitive, being affected by
factors such as the supply of and demand for modes of transportation and
accommodation, the rate of economic growth, interest rates, inflation and economic
developments affect travel and tourism activities. Changes in the global financial
markets and economic conditions may boost or dampen business and leisure travel
activities, and consequently, the demand for tourism products.

The Acquisition Targets’ business is largely dependent on the travel decisions and
preferences of travellers, which in tum are affected by changes in global economic
conditions. Any changes in global economic conditions in the future may affect travel
decisions and preferences of travellers, which in turn may affect the business,
operational results and future prospects of the enlarged Bio Osmo Group.

Notwithstanding the above, the “Impiana” brand has a history of more than 25 years
of operations in the hospitality industry, and has weathered through various periods
of economic and geopolitical challenges during this period. The Acquisition Targets
have demonstrated resilience and growth under the guidance of a strong
management team, and has demonstrated the ability to adapt to changes in the
economic environment in a timely manner through being in touch with current
traveler trends and preferences, adapting to changes in those trends and
preferences, expansion into new markets and retention of existing customers as well
as procurement of new customers through constant service and product
enhancement, that collectively have allowed the Acquisition Targets to remain
competitive over the years.

The Group believes that it will be able to leverage on the competitive strengths of the
Acquisition Targets and industry growth prospects, set out in Section 5.2, to adapt to
changes in the economic environment and remain competitive, thus minimising
impact to its future operations and profitability.

(ii) Travel and tourism activities are seasonal in nature where fluctuations in
travel patterns impact the demand for tourism products and services

The tourism industry is inherently seasonal, whereby the sales of travel and tourism
products and services typically increase during holiday periods and decrease during
off-peak periods. The prices of tourism products and services are subject to
fluctuation between peak seasons and low seasons.

From a segmental perspective, corporate travel generally declines during the festive
holiday periods which are times when many corporate travellers are on holiday and
conversely, leisure travel generally increases during the school holidays and festive
holiday periods. This seasonal fluctuation in corporate and leisure travel impacts the

23
demand for tourism products and services, and ultimately affects the operating
results of tourism industry stakeholders. On the other hand, “Impiana” brand, being a
regionally recognised brand, with locations that are both corporate and leisure
destinations, is able to mitigate the effects of seasonal fluctuations in corporate and
leisure travel demand.

Over the years of its operations, the Acquisition Targets has weathered seasonal
variations in the demand for its travel products and services annually depending on
the contribution of its leisure travel and corporate business segments, but the recent
surge in China outbound travel has offset the effects of the traditionally seasonal
Western outbound travel.

The Acquisition Targets will continue to adopt effective measures such as on-going
market research on evolving consumer preferences, offer a comprehensive and
diversified range of travel products and services, careful cash flow management and
have efficient operating procedures to mitigate these factors. However, there is no
assurance that the efforts of the Group will be sufficient to address the risks arising
from the seasonal fluctuations of the travel and tourism industry.

(iii) The tourism industry is adversely affected by natural disasters, outbreak of


diseases, terrorist attacks and other catastrophic events

Travel and tourism industry stakeholders are exposed to the risk of reduced business
as a result of political instability, accidents, terrorist attacks, acts of sabotage and
natural catastrophes, climate change, outbreaks of diseases, epidemics, social unrest,
civil war, international conflicts and failing governments, which could adversely
impact consumer spending on leisure and business travel. Natural disasters, force
majeure, terrorist attacks or other casualty events in popular travel destinations may
also affect sentiment to tourism products relating to the affected destination or
country.

While the above-mentioned events are beyond the Group’s control, there can be no
assurance that such events will not materially affect the business and/or results of
operations of the Group.

Notwithstanding the above, natural disasters and other catastrophic events are
typically country specific and region-specific in nature. The Acquisition Targets will
eventually have diverse leisure and corporate travel products and services across an
array of destinations in in Malaysia including Kuala Lumpur, Tioman, Pangkor, Ipoh
and Cherating. Thus, the Group believes that while natural disasters and other
catastrophic events may impact travel and tourism activities in certain regions in
Malaysia and cause a drop in revenue from this region, the Acquisition Targets will be
able to actively promote its travel products and services to other destinations in
regions that are not affected, thereby minimising the impact on business and results
of operations.

The Acquisition Targets’ long operating history and past track record of financial
performance is testament to the Acquisition Targets’ resilience to face and rebound
from these events that have impacted the travel and tourism activities.

24
(iv) Changing consumer behaviour and preferences influence spending on
travel and tourism activities

Travellers are increasingly booking holidays closer to the time of travel than has
traditionally been the case, and this type of booking behaviour makes it considerably
more difficult for industry stakeholders to engage in seasonal planning, making them
vulnerable to short-term changes in customer demand. The ability to anticipate
changes in consumer preferences for leisure travel products across a number of
source markets and destinations can be instrumental for success.

Nonetheless, the Acquisition Targets’ management takes cognisance of the changes


in consumer behavior and preferences as well as the growing prominence of the
internet and mobile devices in current lifestyles. To cater to the changes to behavior
and preferences in the tourism industry, the Acquisition Targets has been closely
monitoring the industry practices in order to keep abreast with the expectations and
preference of its clientele.

In addition, the Acquisition Targets carries out advertising and promotional activities
in traditional and digital media to market its travel locations and to remain relevant in
the current environment as well as target new customer segments and expand
customer base.

6.3 Business and operational risks

Upon completion of the Proposed Acquisitions, the Bio Osmo Group would be exposed to risks
inherent to the travel management and services industry. Details of these risks, which are not
exhaustive, are set out below:

(i) Encroachment of land

There are squatters currently occupying the land of Impiana Pangkor situated in
Pulau Pangkor, Perak unlawfully without any permission and the Vendors expressly
agree with Bio Osmo that the Vendors shall bear all costs and expenses with respect
to the eviction of the squatters and will indemnify and keep Bio Osmo indemnified
from all damages as may be suffered by Bio Osmo and/or Impiana Pangkor pursuant
to the unlawful occupation of the land by squatters.

(ii) Risks from redevelopment, repair and maintenance of assets owned by the
Acquisition Targets

The hospitality industry is highly competitive and the completion of new hotels or
renovations of competing hotel properties may reduce the competitiveness of older or
existing properties. The success of a hotel, including those under the “Impiana”
brand largely depends on its ability to brand and compete in areas such as quality of
accommodation, services and the quality of lobby areas, facilities and other
amenities.

The hospitality assets owned by the Acquisition Targets may need to undergo
renovation works from time to time to retain their attractiveness to guests, and may
also require ad hoc maintenance or repairs in respect of faults or problems that may
develop such that there may be periodic capital expenditure beyond the Acquisition
Targets’ current estimates for refurbishment, renovation and improvements.

The cost of maintaining the hospitality assets owned by the Acquisition Targets and
the risk of unforeseen maintenance or repair requirements will tend to increase over
time as these hospitality assets age.

25
The business and operations of hotel may be disrupted as a result of renovation
works and it may affect rates charged. Nevertheless, the Acquisition Targets have
through its years of experience devised methods of undertaking refurbishment in the
least obtrusive manner to minimise the inconvenience to guests.

In addition to the repair and maintenance of its hospitality assets, the Acquisition
Targets may be required to undertake the complete redevelopment of its assets or
undertake the development of new hospitality assets in different locations in order to
remain competitive. Such development or redevelopment of the assets owned may
disrupt the operations of the enlarged Group.

Impiana Cherating ceased operations of Impiana Resort Cherating in FYE 31


December 2017 in order to undertake the complete redevelopment of the resort.

In addition, the Group will be exposed to risks relating to variation to the initial
development plans, or material fluctuations in raw material costs may result in an
increase in the gross development cost for the Group’s developments or
redevelopment. Cash flows and profitability will be reduced if the actual costs to
complete a contract exceed original estimated development costs.

The cash flows and profitability are therefore dependent upon the ability to
accurately estimate the costs associated with our developments. These costs may be
affected by a variety of factors, such as lower than anticipated productivity,
conditions at the work sites differing materially from what was anticipated at the time
we bid for the contract, higher costs of materials and labour, delay in the availability
of financing and political or social disruptions, amongst others.

(iii) Risks arising from the sale and leaseback of units under the redevelopment
of Impiana Resort & Residences Cherating

As part of the redevelopment of Impiana Resort & Residences Cherating, a sale and
leaseback model shall be adopted for the service suites, which will allow the Group to
derive revenue from both the sale of the redeveloped units as well as the operations
of the units upon completion of the redevelopment.

As such, the Group may be subjected to the challenges and risks arising from this
business which include adverse changes in real estate market prices, changes in
demand for residential properties, competition from other developments, changes in
economic, social and political conditions, delay in completion of property
development projects against the scheduled completion.

The demand for properties is dependent on the general economic, business and
credit conditions as well as the extent of supply in the market. Although the Impiana
Resort & Residences Cherating is strategically located in Cherating, Pahang and is
one of the primary tourist attractions in the East Coast of Malaysia and is also
earmarked as a special tourism promotion zone in the East Coast Economic Corridor
masterplan, there can be no assurance that any adverse downturn of the property
market will not affect the value of service suites which have yet to be sold under the
sale and leaseback model.

In addition, the Group shall be subject to compliance with the terms and conditions
of the sale and leaseback arrangement entered into with purchasers of the service
suites. There is no assurance that the efforts undertaken by the Group to comply
with the terms and conditions of such agreements will be sufficient or that the Group
will not be adversely affected by such repercussions arising from the breach of any
terms of the contract entered between the purchasers of the service suites.

26
(iv) Competition risk

The hospitality industry in Malaysia is fragmented and competitive due to the


increased investment in hospitality assets over the past 10 years leading to increased
supply. Location, quality, attractive pricing and niche marketing are crucial factors for
remaining relevant and maintaining a competitive edge in the industry.

The Acquisition Targets have a multi-pronged distribution strategy that comprises of


traditional and digital media to leverage direct bookings, while expanding its third
party marketing partners such as wholesalers, travel agents, online travel agents and
other collaborative partners such as group event and meeting planners that enable
effective marketing of the Acquisition Targets products and services. The
management of the Acquisition Targets believes that its travel management and
services offices and external travel agents provide it with a public presence
throughout Malaysia and globally that will allow the Acquisition Targets to effectively
remain competitive.

The Acquisition Targets will also continue to introduce innovative travel packages
such as wedding and honeymoon packages, school holiday getaway packages in
addition to the corporate and government meetings and retreat packages as a means
of balancing demand. The Acquisition Targets will continue to develop its marketing
strategy and products and services based on consumer demand and preferences,
while leveraging on its ever-growing distribution network.

(v) Dependency on key personnel

As in any other business, the Acquisition Targets believes that its continual success
will depend to a significant extent upon the abilities, skills, experience, competency
and continuous efforts of its existing directors and management team. The
Acquisition Targets are currently headed by DS Farouk and Azrin, who have been in
the industry for more than 39 years and approximately 13 years, respectively. They
are supported by a dedicated management team. The Acquisition Targets will strive
to continue attracting and retaining qualified and experienced personnel which are
essential towards maintaining its continuous growth.

Efforts are being made by the Acquisition Targets to develop younger members of
the management team to gradually assume greater responsibilities of the business
and operations in preparation for long-term expansion. As such, the Acquisition
Targets has implemented a variety of training programmes to upgrade their
knowledge and capabilities as well as to keep abreast with the Acquisition Targets’
expansion plans and travel industry trends.

Nevertheless, there is no assurance that the loss of any key directors and
management personnel may not adversely affect the Acquisition Targets’ ability to
compete in the industry in the short term.

(vi) Foreign exchange risk

Impiana Management has business transactions in foreign currencies in the normal


course of its business under its hotel management agreements which are
predominantly denominated in United State Dollars and other currencies in which
countries they have dealings with. Any significant increase or decrease in foreign
exchange may have an adverse effect on the results of its operations.

Nevertheless, the management of Impiana Management constantly monitors


movements of the foreign currencies applicable to the Acquisition Targets’ business in
managing its foreign currency exposure.

27
Nevertheless, there is no assurance that the efforts of Impiana Management will be
sufficient to address the foreign exchange risks of the Group moving forward.

(vii) Renewal of licences

The Acquisition Targets are required to obtain certain licences such as, operating,
health and safety and equipment licences.

The licenses are subjected to periodic renewal/assessment by the relevant authorities


and the terms and conditions for renewal may change from time to time. As such,
there is no assurance that the Acquisition Targets will be able to renew or maintain
its licenses.

While these factors are beyond the management of the Acquisition Targets’ control,
the Acquisition Targets will mitigate such risk by ensuring compliance with the
relevant laws and regulations and conditions that are enforced and that the relevant
licenses are obtained and renewed on a timely basis.

6.4 Financial and investment risks

(i) Control by the Vendors

Upon completion of the Proposed Acquisitions, Impiana SB, DS Farouk, Dato’ Yahya
and Datin Afrizah will own 4,800,000,000 Bio Osmo Shares and 3,200,000,000 ICPS.
The equity shareholding of Bio Osmo held by the Vendors shall represent 52.09% of
the enlarged share capital of the Company (assuming none of the shareholders
accept the MGO and no exercise of ICPS) after completion of the Proposals. As a
result, the Vendors will be able to exercise significant influence over all matters
requiring shareholders’ approval, including the appointment of Directors and the
approval of significant corporate transactions. Such concentration of ownership may
also have the effect of delaying, preventing or deterring a change in control of the
Group which may not be in line with the interest of the other shareholders of Bio
Osmo.

Notwithstanding that, the Group’s non-executive and independent members of the


Board shall ensure continued compliance with the Main LR and adopt, where
appropriate, best practices in corporate governance in the interest of all the
shareholders of the Company.

(ii) Acquisition risk

The Proposed Acquisitions are expected to contribute positively to our Group based
on the rationale stated in Section 4.1. However there can be no assurance that the
anticipated benefits of the Proposed Acquisitions will be realised and there is also no
assurance that the Acquisition Targets will be able to maintain or improve the
financial performance of Bio Osmo after the Proposed Acquisitions.

Nevertheless, the Group intends to leverage on the competencies and expertise of


Acquisition Targets management headed by DS Farouk and Azrin to drive the new
business of Bio Osmo moving forward.

Commentary:

Comparison between FYE 2016 and FYE 2015

Impiana Management

The revenue achieved by Impiana Management for the FYE 31 December 2016 had
increased to RM4.52 million for the financial year under review as compared to RM3.85
million for the FYE 31 December 2015, representing an increase of RM0.67 million or
17.40%. This improvement was mainly attributable to the technical fees charged to Impiana
Resort Cherating for its proposed redevelopment. However, the PBT achieved for the FYE 31
December 2016 had decreased by RM0.17 million or 6.85%. This was due to the increase in
administrative expenses which had escalated from RM1.39 million for the previous financial
year to RM2.19 million for the financial year under review, representing an increase of
RM0.80 million or 57.55% as a result of increased staff cost.

Impiana Pangkor

The PBT recognised for the FYE 31 December 2016 was mainly attributable to other income
of RM0.05 million arising from the write back of other payables during the financial year
under review.

Astaka Mekar

The PBT achieved by Astaka Mekar for the FYE 31 December 2016 had decreased from a
PBT of RM2.15 million to a LBT of RM2.03 million. This was due to the decrease in the share
of profit of associate from RM5.08 million to RM0.85 million for the financial year under
review attributable by the decrease in revenue recognised by Heritage Lane for the FYE 31
December 2016.

Intra Magnum

The revenue of Intra Magnum for the FYE 31 December 2016 increased from RM0.09 million
to RM0.87 million, representing an increase of RM0.78 million, mainly due to consultancy
fees arising from the redevelopment of Impiana Resort Cherating. Correspondingly, the PBT
of Intra Magnum for the FYE 31 December 2016 also increased.

The shareholders’ funds of Intra Magnum had further increased in the FYE 31 December
2016 to RM25.49 million. This was attributable to the subscription of 18,750,000 new
ordinary shares in Intra Magnum by the Company at an issue price of RM1.00 each.

Impiana Cherating

The revenue recorded by Impiana Cherating for the FYE 31 December 2016 had decreased
from RM7.0 million for the previous financial year to RM1.81 million for the financial year
under review, representing a decrease of RM5.19 million or 74.14%. This was because
Impiana Cherating had ceased the operations of Impiana Resort Cherating effective January
2016 in light of its proposed full redevelopment and is expected to recommence operations
in phases beginning in year 2020 as Impiana Private Villas & Resort Cherating Beach. The
PBT achieved by Impiana Cherating had increased by RM1.6 million or 250.0%, from RM0.64

57
APPENDIX III

million for the FYE 31 December 2015 to RM2.24 million for the financial year under review.
This was due to the increase in other income arising from the gain recognised from the
disposal of fixed assets of RM3.23 million for the FYE 31 December 2016 which had
increased from RM0.03 million to RM3.29 million, representing an increase of RM3.26 million.

The shareholders’ funds for the FYE 31 December 2016 had decreased from RM39.53 million
to RM25.66 million, representing a decrease of RM13.87 million or 35.09%. This was
attributable to the repayment of advances by shareholders of RM15.97 million during the
financial year under review.

Impiana Ipoh

While a marginal increase in the revenue and decrease in PBT recognised for the FYE 31
December 2016 was observed, it is noted that the PAT achieved by Impiana Ipoh for the
financial year under review had increased from RM0.54 million to RM0.72 million,
representing an increase of RM0.18 million or 33.33%. This was mainly due to the reversal
of deferred tax asset of RM0.12 million in the statement of comprehensive income for the
FYE 31 December 2016.

Comparison between FYE 2017 and FYE 2016

Impiana Management

The revenue for Impiana Management had increased from RM4.52 million for the FYE 2016
to RM7.32 million for the financial year under review, representing an increase of RM2.80
million or 61.9%. The increase in revenue was mainly due to the increase in management
fees charged for the management of the hotel assets located in Cemagi and Seminyak in
Indonesia, Kata Noi in Thailand and Senai in Malaysia and technical fees charged for the
setting up of the third-party owned hotel located in Senai, Malaysia and the development of
the hotel assets to be developed in Cherating, Malaysia and Ubud, Indonesia. The increase
in the profitability of Impiana Management during the FYE 2017 was in line with its increase
in revenue achieved for the financial year under review.

Impiana Pangkor

Impiana Pangkor remained dormant during the financial year under review and recognised a
LBT of RM0.25 million for the FYE 2017 arising from administrative and operating expenses
incurred.

Astaka Mekar

The LBT of Astaka Mekar had reduced from RM2.03 million for the FYE 2016 to RM1.68
million for the FYE 2017, representing an improvement of RM0.35 million or 17.24%. The
decrease in LBT was mainly attributable to the increase in share of profit of associate from
RM0.85 million to RM1.07 million, representing an increase of RM0.22 million or 25.88%,
arising from the increase in revenue of Heritage Lane during the financial year under review.

Intra Magnum

The revenue of Intra Magnum increased substantially from RM0.87 million during the FYE
2016 to RM5.88 million for the FYE 2017, representing an increase of RM5.01 million or
575.86%. The increase in revenues recognised by Intra Magnum was mainly due to the
technical consultancy fees derived for the pre-development project of Impiana Cherating
Hotel & Resort in Cherating, Malaysia and Impiana Ubud Resort in Bali, Indonesia as well as
the hotel management from Impiana Hotel Ipoh. Accordingly, the PBT and shareholders’
funds of Intra Magnum also increased.

58
APPENDIX III

Impiana Cherating

The revenue of Impiana Cherating had decreased from RM1.81 million during the FYE 2016
to RM1.63 million during the financial year under review, representing a decrease of RM0.18
million or 9.94%. Whilst Impiana Cherating had already ceased operations in the prior
financial year, the revenue recognised during the FYE 2017 was from a short term lease of
the hospitality assets. Impiana Cherating recorded LBT of RM13.34 million as compared to
PBT of RM2.24 million for FYE 2016. This was due to the one-off write-off of RM13.14 million
for the hotel building and RM0.50 million for staff quarters which are subject to the
redevelopment of Impiana Resort Cherating which was expensed out at the financial year
end.

Notwithstanding the LBT incurred, the shareholder’ funds had decreased by RM0.42 million
or 1.64% from RM25.66 million as at 31 December 2016 to RM25.24 million as at 31
December 2017. The impact of the above-mentioned write-off was partly mitigated by the
increase in shareholders’ advances which was recorded as equity during the financial year
under review from RM9.33 million to RM22.03 million.

Impiana Ipoh

The revenue of Impiana Ipoh had increased marginally during the FYE 2017 by RM0.2
million or 1.59% from RM12.56 million for the FYE 2016 to RM12.76 million. However, its
PBT had increased from RM0.60 million to RM1.33 million for the financial year under review,
representing an increase of RM0.73 million or 121.67%. The increase in PBT was mainly
attributable to the decrease in administration and operating expenses by RM0.35 million or
5.73% from RM6.11 million for the FYE 2016 to RM5.76 million for the FYE 2017 as well as
the decrease in finance cost from RM1.63 million to RM1.51 for the financial year under
review, representing a decrease of RM0.12 million or 7.36%.
