The board of directors of the Strong Petrochemical Holdings Limited announced that based on the information currently available, it is expected that the group's unaudited
interim results for the six months ended June 30, 2015 may experience a loss as compared to the profit recorded for same period last year, primarily attributable to the decrease in profit margin in the Group as a whole during the six months ended June 30, 2015, and the loss incurred in entering the crude oil and oil product related
derivative financial instruments for hedging purpose, due to fluctuation in oil prices in the first half of 2015.
