SUPPLEMENTAL ANNOUNCEMENT

IN RELATION TO THE ANNUAL REPORT

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2019

Reference is made to the annual report of Lerthai Group Limited (the "Company", together with its subsidiaries, the "Group") for the year ended 31 December 2019 (the "2019 Annual Report"). Unless otherwise defined, terms used herein shall bear the same meanings as defined in the 2019 Annual Report.

In addition to the information provided in the 2019 Annual Report, the Board would like to provide further information in relation to the disclaimer of opinion (the "Audit Qualification") issued by the auditor of the Company (the "Auditor") in relation to the consolidated financial statements of the Group for the year ended 31 December 2019.

AUDIT COMMITTEE'S VIEW ON THE AUDIT QUALIFICATION

As detailed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2019 and the section headed "Going Concern and Mitigation Measures" in the Corporate Governance Report ("Going Concern Disclosure") (as set out in the 2019 Annual Report), conditions existed such to indicate the existence of material uncertainties which may cast significant doubt regarding the Group's ability to continue as a going concern.

The audit and risk management committee of the Company (the "Audit Committee") had strictly reviewed the Audit Qualification and also the management of the Group's (the "Management") position and action plan of the Group to address the Audit Qualification. The Audit Committee is in agreement with the Management with respect to the Audit Qualification and the Group's ability to continue as a going concern, and in particular the actions or measures to be implemented by the Management or the Group.

The Audit Committee's views are based on (i) a strict review of (a) the Management's action plan to address the Audit Qualification (and the assumption of successful and continued implementation), and (b) a review of the Group's cash flow projections which covers 18 months from the year ended 31 December 2019, and also (ii) discussions between the Audit Committee and the Auditor and the Management, respectively, regarding the Audit Qualification.

The Audit Committee is of the view that the Management should continue its efforts in implementing the actions and measures set out in the action plan as detailed in the Going Concern Disclosure with the intention of mitigating the Group's liquidity pressure and removing the Audit Qualification.

The Company will keep its shareholders and investors informed of any significant developments in relation to the Going Concern Disclosure as and when appropriate in compliance with the Listing Rules.
