INSIDE INFORMATION AND PROFIT WARNING

This announcement is made by China Outfitters Holdings Limited (the "Company", together with its subsidiaries, the "Group") pursuant to Rule 13.09(2)(a) of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities ("Listing Rules") on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the "Stock Exchange") and the Inside Information Provisions (as defined under the Listing Rules) under Part XIVA of the Securities and Futures Ordinance (Chapter 571 of the Laws of Hong Kong).

The board (the "Board") of the directors of the Company wishes to inform the shareholders of the Company (the "Shareholders") and potential investors that, based on the information currently available to the Group, it is expected that Group's profit attributable to equity holders of the parent (the "Net Profit") for the year ended 31 December 2019 (the "Relevant Year") will decrease significantly by at least 60% as compared with that for the year ended 31 December 2018 of RMB60,179,000.

The decrease of Net Profit for the Relevant Year is attributable to:

1. the continuous slowdown in growth of macro-economy and weak retail market sentiment, led to a decrease in number of retail points, revenue and gross profit of the Group;
2. a decrease in government subsidies, tax refund and interest income during the Relevant Year;
3. an increase of amortisation of equity-settled share option expense; and
4. an impairment of goodwill.

Notwithstanding the impact of the above-mentioned factors, the Board is of the view that the Group has achieved steady progress in its strategic development, and the operational and financial position of the Group remains sound and stable.

As the Company is still in the process of finalising the annual results of the Group for the Relevant Year, the information contained in this announcement is only based on the preliminary assessment by the Board with reference to the information currently available, which has not yet been audited by or discussed with the auditors of the Company. The actual results of the Group for the Relevant Year may be different from what is contained in this announcement. The annual results announcement of the Company for the Relevant Year is expected to be released in March 2020.

Shareholders of the Company and potential investors are advised to exercise caution when dealing in shares of the Company.
