HONG KONG,
CHINA - Media OutReach - 27 March 2020 - CIFI
Holdings (Group) Co. Ltd ("CIFI" or the "Group", HKEx stock code: 884), a
leading real estate developer engaged in property development and investment
business mainly in the first-, second- and quasi-second-tier cities in China,
is pleased to announce its annual results for the year ended 31 December 2019.

The Group has proactively secured land bank in
the past two years, covering 71 cities in different geographical regions to diversify
the land bank with increasing attributable interest. Total
gross floor area of newly acquired land amounted to 15.2 million sq.m. with an
attributable interest of 65% and an average land cost of RMB5,425/sq.m. The Group focuses on first- and second-tier cities
to expand land bank, with 87% of its land bank located in those cities.

Since
the outbreak of COVID-19 in January 2020, the sales and construction of the
property market temporarily halted. With the epidemic being gradually under
control, most of the sales offices have reopened, construction rapidly resumed
in operation, and the business operation of developers has recovered steadily. Looking ahead in 2020, the real estate policy tone in
China in 2020 will still be "houses are built to be inhabited, not for
speculation", and it is unlikely that the austerity policies such as purchase
restriction will be relaxed substantially in the near future. "One city, one
policy" will continue to be the main principle of local policy control.
However, due to the influence brought by the epidemic, local governments will implement
measures of "differentiated policies for different cities" that are conducive
to the stable development of the property market.

Mr. Lin Zhong, Chairman and Executive Director
of the Group said,"As a
large-scale national real estate developer, CIFI adheres to the efficient and
high asset turnover operating strategies. We stress on shortening development cycles, high cash turnover,
conservative debt positions as well as balanced profitability to maintain a
leading position in the market and continue to generate considerable returns to
our shareholders. On the other hand, supply of saleable resources of the Group
is sufficient throughout 2020. We are confident that our massive and well
diversified saleable resources acquired at reasonable land costs will be
defensive in the current uncertain real estate environment and will create
enormous value when the market recovers after the epidemic. We are confident
that we can continue to provide our customers with high-quality products and
services and achieve the contracted sales target of RMB230.0 billion for the
full-year of 2020."
