| 3. | Reasons |
The Company strengthened its capabilities in crude oil deep processing, and optimized its petrochemical feedstock and product mix upon completion and operation of the Phase 6 Project. In the first quarter of 2013, the global situation remained complex and volatile, and the Chinese domestic economy did not show an obvious momentum of growth, while the demand for petrochemicals continued to be sluggish. However, the Group endeavored to ensure the smooth and stable operations of its newly built plants of the Phase 6 Project, and to achieve good material balance and well planned production and sales linking up. Under the China Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises, net profit attributable to equity shareholders of the Company for the three months ended 31 March 2013 is expected to record earnings with a profit of approximately RMB170 million.
The forecasts above represent preliminary estimates. Specific and accurate financial figures will be disclosed in the 2013 First Quarterly Report to be officially announced by the Company. Investors are advised to pay attention to investment risks.
