PROFIT WARNING

This announcement is made by Global Bio-chem Technology Group Company Limited (the "Company", together with its subsidiaries, the "Group") pursuant to Rule 13.09 of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited and Inside Information Provisions under Part XIVA of the Securities and Futures Ordinance (Cap. 571 of the Laws of Hong Kong).

The board (the "Board") of directors (the "Directors") of the Company wishes to inform the shareholders of the Company and potential investors that based on the preliminary review of the Group's unaudited consolidated management accounts currently available to the Board, the Group recorded a significant increase in consolidated net loss for the ten months ended 31 October 2019, as compared with the ten months ended 31 October 2018. Such increase was mainly attributable to:

  1. the increase in production cost of the Group's downstream production; (ii) the decline in sales volume and the selling prices of feed products due to the impact of the African Swine Fever (the "ASF") and China-US trade tensions; and (iii) accordingly, the Group's amino acids segment has recorded a gross loss for the ten months ended 31 October 2019 as compared with the gross profit recorded for the ten months ended 31 October 2018. It is expected that the Group will record a significant increase in consolidated net loss for the year ending 31 December 2019 as compared with the year ended 31 December 2018.

As stated in the Company's announcement dated 16 December 2019, the Group had taken measures to minimise operational loss and operating cash outflow through the temporary suspension of the production facilities of 長春大合生物技術開發有限公司(Changchun Dahe Bio Technology Development Co., Ltd.*) ("Changchun Dahe") for machinery overhaul since August 2019 while maintaining its sales operation with its inventory. Since it is expected that the impact of the ASF will remain for a period of time, the operating environment of the feed related industry will be challenging going forward. The Group will closely observe the market conditions and conduct feasibility analysis on the resumption of production of Changchun Dahe.
