As

January to December 2014 drawn up in conformity with China Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises (CASBE) is expected
to increase by 40% to 60% from the corresponding period of last year. Detailed results will be disclosed in the 2014 annual report
of the Company.
| 3. | Financial information involved in this results estimate announcement has
