Jilin Jiutai Rural Commercial Bank Corporation Limited provided earnings guidance for the six months ended June 30, 2018. For the period, based on the review on the unaudited management accounts of the Group, the Group's net profit for the six months ended June 30, 2018 is expected to decrease by no less than 40% compared to that of the six months ended June 30, 2017. The Board believes that the above decrease is mainly due to the facts that: net fee and commission income of the Group decreased due to factors such as market demand conditions; net gains arising from investment securities of the Group decreased due to factors such market trading conditions; and the financial results of four rural commercial banks, including Changbai Mountain Rural Commercial Bank Co. Ltd., Jilin Dehui Rural Commercial Bank Co. Ltd., Jilin Gongzhuling Rural Commercial Bank Co. Ltd. and Jilin Chuncheng Rural Commercial Bank Co. Ltd., ceased to be consolidated to the financial statements of the Group after the termination of the acting-in-concert agreements.
