The Board wishes to inform shareholders and potential investors that the Group is expected to have a significant growth in results and to record an increase of approximately 90% to 110% in its Net Profit for the six months ended 30 June 2017 as compared to that for the six months ended 30 June 2016.

This announcement is made by Anhui Conch Cement Company Limited ("Company", together with its subsidiaries, collectively referred to as the "Group") pursuant to Rule 13.09(2)(a) of the Rules ("Listing Rules") Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited and the Inside Information Provisions (as defined in the Listing Rules) under Part XIVA of the Securities and Futures Ordinance (Chapter 571 of the Laws of Hong Kong).

The board ("Board") of directors ("Directors") of the Company wishes to inform shareholders of the Company ("Shareholders") and potential investors that the Group is expected to have a significant growth in results and to record an increase of approximately 90% to 110% in its net profit ("Net Profit") attributable to the Company's equity holders for the six months ended 30 June 2017 as compared to that for the six months ended 30 June 2016 (the unaudited Net Profit for the first half of 2016, as prepared by the Company in accordance with the PRC accounting standards, amounted to RMB 3,354,918,405 and earnings per share were RMB 0.63).
