JILIN CITY, China and HONG KONG, Aug. 12 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ -- Jilin Chemical Industrial Company Limited (the "Company") (HKSE: 0368, NYSE: JCC) announced its unaudited results for the six months ended June 30, 2005, prepared under the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). Turnover for the six months ended June 30, 2005 was approximately RMB17,993 million (approximately US$2,174 million) representing an increase of 31 per cent as compared with the first six months of 2004. Net profit amounted to approximately RMB135 million (approximately US$16 million). Profit per share for the six months ended June 30, 2005 was RMB0.04 (approximately US$0.0048). The board of directors of the Company has resolved not to declare any interim dividend for the six months ended June 30, 2005. During the first half of 2005, the Company implemented a strategy of vertical integration in refinery to improve and adjust its product mix as a whole; closely monitored the development of product market and took full advantage of any price movement of products so as to adjust its product sales strategy in a timely manner; continued to improve efficiency, save energy and reduce wastage for the purpose of imposing stringent control on costs and expenses; continued to improve internal control to enhance capital management and increase efficiency in the use of capital. For the first half of 2005, the sales revenue and sales of the Company and its subsidiaries (together "the Group") amounted to RMB17,992.634 million under IFRS, representing the increase of 31% as compared with the corresponding period in 2004. The continuing increase in the price of crude oil drove the price of refined oil to move upward, which unfortunately failed to offset any impacts caused by price rise in crude oil. Actual realized profits of the Company was RMB135.030 million, down by 77% as compared with the corresponding period in 2004. The cost of sales increased by 39% from RMB12,615.949 million in the first half of 2004 to RMB17,508.817 million in the first half of 2005. This increase was primarily attributable to an increase in the sales volume of the Company's products, volume of crude oil processing and the price of other raw materials. In the first half of 2005, the weighted average price of the Group's crude oil cost was RMB3,016/ton, which represented an increase of 47% from the same period in 2004, and the volume of crude oil processing was 3.5 million tons, which represented an increase of 16% as compared with the corresponding period in 2004. The Group's gross profit margin decreased by 5% in the first half of 2005 as compared with the corresponding period in 2004 due to an increase in cost of sales caused by the continuing increase in crude oil price. Distribution costs, administrative expenses and other operating expenses decreased by 40% from RMB384.770 million in the first half of 2004 to RMB230.143 million in the first half of 2005. This decrease was primarily attributable to the provisions made for diminution in value of trade and other receivables, construction in progress and intangible assets in the first half of 2004 which was made during the reporting period; and net loss incurred from the retirement of fixed assets amounted to RMB34.158 million in the first half of 2004 whereas net profit so incurred amounted to RMB4.638 million during the reporting period. For the second half of 2005, the Company will further strengthen the following: (i) the management of safety production by arranging for installation and overhaul of equipment so as to ensure its production facilities run at full capacity; (ii) the control on capital budget in order to use capital in a safe, responsible and efficient manner, thereby speeding up the turnover of its capital; (iii) the control on cost budget by continuing to implement a low-cost strategy to reduce the production and operation costs; (iv) the marketing management in order to respond to the changes in petrochemical and chemical products. The Company expects the processing capacity for crude oil to reach 3.5 million tons in the second half of 2005. In view of the continuing increase in the price of crude oil to a high level which may not be offset by the increase in the price of refined oil, the actual realized profits for the period from January to September 2005 is expected to decrease by over 50% as compared with the corresponding period in 2004. Jilin Chemical is one of the largest producers of basic chemicals and chemical raw materials, and one of the largest diversified chemical enterprises in the PRC. Its primary business comprises the production of petroleum products, petrochemical and organic chemical products, synthetic rubber products, chemical fertilizers and other chemical products. * In this statement, amounts in Renminbi have been converted into United States dollars at the rate of US$1.00=RMB8.2765, as announced by the People's Bank of China as of June 30, 2005.
