Notes to Editors: 
 
Prosperity (AIM: PMHL) operates a cement manufacturing business in the People's 
Republic of China ("PRC") and an iron ore trading business serving the same 
market. 
 
Prosperity is focused on two key sectors serving the PRC: the manufacture and 
sale of cement; and the trading of iron ore. The Company's shares were admitted 
to trading on the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange in May 2006. It 
reports in US dollars. 
 
The Company owns 100% of Yingde Dragon Mountain Cement Co. Limited ("YDM"), has 
a 25% interest in Prosperity Conch Cement Company Limited ("PCC"), and a 33.06% 
interest in Anhui Chaodong Cement Company Limited ("ACC"). YDM and PCC cement 
plants, where construction was completed in 2006, employ modern suspension 
pre-heater dry processing and are located on adjacent sites in Guangdong 
Province in the south east of the country. ACC is located in Anhui Province in 
the eastern PRC. Anhui Conch Cement Company Limited, being the largest cement 
operator in China, also owns 75% of PCC and 16.28% of ACC respectively. 
Prosperity also holds a 40% interest in Guangzhou K. Wah Nanfang Cement Limited 
("Guangzhou Nanfang") which has cement grinding facilities in Guangzhou City, 
Guangdong Province, a 30% interest in Yunnan Kungang & K. Wah Cement 
Construction Materials Co. Limited ("Anning") located in Yunnan Province, and a 
30% interest in Baoshan Kungang & K. Wah Cement Construction Materials Co. 
Limited ("Baoshan"), also located in Yunnan Province. 
 
The designed sellable output capacity of clinker** and cement at YDM is 5.9 
million tonnes per year, PCC is 7.9 million tonnes per year, ACC is 3.4 million 
tonnes per year, Guangzhou Nanfang is 0.8 million tonnes per year, Anning is 2.7 
million tonnes per year and Baoshan is 1.8 million tonnes per year. 
 
Prosperity also has interests in four cement projects under development. The 
Company holds a 75% interest in a new cement factory in Liaoning Province, 100% 
interest in a new cement factory in Chongqing Direct Municipal City; a 100% 
interest in a new cement factory in Guizhou Province  and a 100% interest in a 
new cement factory in Guangan City, Sichuan Province. 
 
The iron ore trading business has been operating since 1992 and sources iron 
ore, for shipment and use in the PRC, from major international iron ore 
producers such as Kumba Iron Ore (South Africa), Vale (Brazil) and Rio Tinto 
(Australia), as well as from South East Asia, Thailand and Malaysia in 
particular. The majority of the Company's iron ore is sold to the large steel 
manufacturers in the PRC and, in the fiscal year ended 31 March 2009, Prosperity 
shipped 4.4 million tonnes of iron ore. This volume increased to 5.2 million 
tonnes in the six months ended 30 September 2009. 
 
The PRC is the world's third largest economy (behind the US and Japan) and the 
largest producer and consumer of cement and the biggest buyer of iron ore. 
 
**Clinker is a complex calcium alumino-silicate material produced by the 
calcinations of limestone and clays. It is then ground and mixed with gypsum to 
form cement or, more correctly, Portland Cement.
