The board of directors of the CITIC Resources Holdings Ltd. announced that, based on further information available since the publication of the announcement, the Board believes the expected net loss of the Group for the six months ended 30 June 2015 will increase as a result of the following additional factors, a decrease in the fair value of the Group's investment in Alumina Limited. The Group currently owns 9.5609% of the shares of AWC. As this investment in AWC is currently classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, the shares held by the Group in AWC are measured at their fair value based on the closing price of AWC shares at the end of each reporting period, and the difference between the fair value and the carrying value is recognized in the consolidated income statement.

As a result, a pre-tax fair value loss of about HKD 565.0 million is expected to be recorded in other expenses in the condensed consolidated income statement for the Period in respect of the Group's investment in AWC; and the increase in the loss attributable to shareholders of CITIC Dameng Holdings Limited. As a result, the Group's share of loss for the Period attributable to its interest in CDH is also expected to be larger.
