China Shanshui Cement Group Ltd. provided earnings guidance for the six months ended June 30, 2014. The Group is expected to record a significant decrease in net profit for the six months ended 30 June 2014 compared with that of the corresponding period in 2013. The Board considers that even though a consistent profit was achieved in the Shandong area as compared with that of the corresponding period last year, there was a substantial decline in the Group's profits from the northeast area and the Shanxi area compared with that of the corresponding period last year mainly due to a significant year-on-year decline of the Group's sales price in these two areas.

The Board expects that the net profit of the Group for the six months ended 30 June 2014 will decrease by not less than 50% compared with that of the corresponding period last year.
