PROFIT WARNING

This announcement is made by West China Cement Limited (the ''Company'' and, together with its subsidiaries, the ''Group'') pursuant to the Inside Information Provisions (as defined in the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the ''Listing Rules'')) under Part XIVA of the Securities and Futures Ordinance (Cap. 571 of the Laws of Hong Kong) and Rule 13.09 of the Listing Rules.
The board (the ''Board'') of directors (the ''Directors'') of the Company wishes to inform the shareholders and potential investors of the Company that, based on the preliminary assessment by the Board on the unaudited management accounts of the Group for the five months ended 30 May 2015, and the progress of operations in the month of June 2015, the Company expects to record a significant decrease in net profit for the six months ending 30
June 2015 compared to the corresponding period of 2014.
The anticipated significant decrease in net profit of the Group was mainly attributable to the continued low average selling prices of cement in the Group's operating areas over the past
12 months, especially in the Central Shaanxi region. The Group has however been able to maintain reasonable selling prices and healthy margins in the Southern Shaanxi region. The directors believe that the Group's current efforts in promoting the further consolidation of the Shaanxi cement market will lead to an improvement in cement pricing and operations in Central Shaanxi Province going forward.
Please note that the information contained in this announcement is only based on the preliminary assessment by the Board on the unaudited management accounts of the Group and currently available information, which have not been audited by the Company's auditors.
Shareholders and other investors of the Company are advised to exercise caution when dealing in the securities of the Company.
