The Company's adjusted net asset value ("NAV"),estimated by management,was HK$30.78 per share,representing a slight decrease of 7.5% from the adjusted NAV recorded as of 31 December 2017.The main change in NAV was attributable to secondary market volatility.

Chairman of Fosun International,Guo Guangchang said,"In the first six months of 2018,despite the market volatility,Fosun recorded a net profit growth of 17% (or 41% under previous accounting standards),reflecting the resilience of our business model,which focuses on health,happiness and wealth ecosystems for global families with deep roots in China.Over the past 10 years,Fosun's commitment to investment,continuous innovation and delivering superior value to shareholders has seen its per share book value increase from HK$3.60 to HK$13.79,a rate of 14.4% compounded annually."

"In the first six months of 2018,we continued to make strategic investments across the world,balanced with key divestments in some projects.On the industrial operating front,five years after commencing construction of our champion project,Atlantis Sanya opened this year with phenomenal success and popularity.We are also executing our strategy of bringing several key assets into public markets,including the completed restructuring of Yuyuan in July 2018. We also signed important strategic agreements with major partners such as HSBC,SPD Bank,and New China Insurance.And finally,the Group launched youlè,Fosun's proprietary loyalty program,with a total user base now exceeding 148 million despite only launching six months ago."

Speaking to how the Group plans to deliver even greater shareholder value,Mr. Guo outlined three key strategies:

''First,we remain fully committed to disciplined investment and professional operations across our three core ecosystems in wealth,health and happiness.

Second,with 10 IPOs completed by Fosun and its affiliatesin 2017,we will continue to execute the strategy of bringing our key assets into the public markets,with a strong IPO pipeline including Babytree and Fosun Tourism Group.

Third,we will continue to increase our investment in technology,research and innovation to further strengthen Fosun's strategy of transformational operations and continuously improve customer experience.In the first half of 2018,RMB 4 billion was invested into technology initiatives to enhance our operating capabilities.With the application of leading technology in our core businesses such as Fosun Pharma,Club Med,Atlantis Sanya,Fidelidade and BCP,I am confident that Fosun will continue to generate rapid and sustainable growth in our recurring operating profit and cash flow.''
