3.

Loss on asset impairment decreased by 951%, mainly attributable to the reversal of loss from bad debts.

During the A share issue of the Company in 2007, Chinalco undertook that Chinalco would arrange to dispose of its aluminum fabrication business, or the Company would acquire the aluminum fabrication business from Chinalco, and acquire the pseudo-boehmite business from Chinalco within a certain period of time following the listing of the Company's A shares.

     
   

In 2008, the Company successfully bid for the five aluminum fabrication enterprises under the control of Chinalco in an open tender process through the equity exchange.

When conditions become mature, both Chinalco and the Company will continue to duly complete the matters undertaken within the time limit.
