PROFIT WARNING

This announcement is made by the Company pursuant to Rule 13.09 of the Listing Rules.

The Board wishes to inform the shareholders of the Company and potential investors that the Group is expected to record a discernible loss for the year ending 31 December 2012 as compared to a profit for the year ended 31 December 2011 based on the unaudited financial statements of the Group.

Shareholders of the Company and potential investors are advised to exercise caution when dealing in the shares of the Company.

This announcement is made by Shougang Concord Century Holdings Limited (the “Company”, together with its subsidiaries, the “Group”) pursuant to Rule 13.09 of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the “Listing Rules”).

The board of directors of the Company (the “Board”) wishes to inform the shareholders of the Company and potential investors that the Group is expected to record a discernible loss for the year ending 31 December 2012 as compared to a profit for the year ended 31 December 2011 based on the unaudited financial statements of the Group. Based on the information currently available, such discernible loss is primarily attributable to the followings:

  • (1) the substantial decrease in gross profit as a result of decline in average selling price of steel cords from increased market competition;

  • (2) significant allowance for doubtful debts in respect of the long aged trade receivables; and

  • (3) potential allowance for decrease in value of inventories.

Despite the above adverse change, there has been no material impact on the operations of the Group. We are also of the view that the overall operation and financial position of the Group remain stable. More importantly, we will use our best endeavour to improve the Group’s performance under the predicted difficult operating environment in 2013.
