MAJOR REASONS FOR ESTIMATED PROFIT DECREASE |
|
|
|
Due to Europe's debt crisis and impacts of the global economic environment, the price of aluminum dropped sharply in the fourth quarter of the year 2011. Meanwhile, the price hike of electricity has increased the production cost of the Company. The loss arising from the Company's operations in the fourth quarter has affected the Company's overall annual profits. |

|
|
|
The estimated results are based on preliminary calculations of the finance department of the Company. Finalised details of the financial information will be disclosed and finalized in the annual report of the Company for 2011. Investors should be aware of the investment risks involved. |
