ASIA CERAMICS HOLDINGS PLC
("ASIA CERAMICS HOLDINGS" OR THE "COMPANY")
INTERIM UNAUDITED RESULTS FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 30 JUNE 2015
The Directors of Asia Ceramics Holdings are pleased to present
the Company's interim results for the six months to 30 June
2015.
Key Points:
-- Sales GBP2,978k
-- Loss for period GBP278k
-- Cash at bank GBP92k
CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT
Sales for the six months to 30 June 2015 GBP2,978k (GBP5,194k in 2014)
Loss for the six months to 30 June 2015 GBP278k (GBP162k loss in 2014)
The group incurred a loss of GBP278,000 in the first half of the
year as trading conditions in China remained challenging. Lower
sales were offset by savings in distribution and administration
expenses compared to the same period last year. Gross margins were
impacted by a charge of approximately GBP180,000 relating to the
non recovery of vat on export sales from 2014 that had been carried
on the balance sheet at the year end.
I look forward to reporting further progress in my statement at
the year end and overall we expect the underlying second half
performance of the Company to be similar with the first half .

4. EARINGS PER SHARE
Basic earing per share is calculated by dividing the loss
attributable to equity shareholders of the company by the weighted
average number of ordinary shares in issue during the year.
Diluted loss per share is calculated by adjusting the weighted
average number of ordinary shares outstanding to assume conversion
of all dilutive potential ordinary shares. The dilutive potential
ordinary shares in the company are share options. A calculation is
done to determine the number of shares that could have been
acquired at fair value (determined as the average annual market
share price of the company's shares) based on the monetary rights
attached to outstanding share options. The number of shares
calculated above is compared with the number of shares that would
have issued assuming the exercise of the share options.
