1.1 2005 Interim Report, dated August 29, 2005
CAUTIONARY STATEMENT WITH RESPECT TO FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This document contains certain forward-looking information about China
Eastern Airlines Corporation Limited (the "Company") that are intended to be
covered by the safe harbor for "forward-looking statements" provided by the
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and any other similar laws that
may apply. Forward-looking statements are statements that are not historical
facts. Words such as "expect(s)", "feel(s)", "believe(s)", "will", "may",
"anticipate(s)" and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking
statements. These statements include, but are not limited to, financial
projections and estimates and their underlying assumptions; statements regarding
plans, objectives and expectations with respect to future operations, products
and services; and statements regarding future performance. Such statements are
subject to certain risks and uncertainties, many of which are difficult to
predict and generally beyond the control of the Company, that could cause actual
results to differ materially from those expressed in, or implied or projected
by, the forward-looking information and statements. These risks and
uncertainties include, but are not limited to: those discussed and identified in
public filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") made by
the Company; changes in regulatory policies (including those relating to airfare
pricing) of the Civil Aviation Administration of China; the effects of
competition on the demand for and the price of the Company's services; changes
in global economic conditions, including the economic development and conditions
of countries served by flights of the Company; changes to the economic or
political condition of China; the cost and availability of aviation fuel;
fluctuations in interests rates between the Renminbi or the Hong Kong dollar, on
the one hand, and the United States dollar or the Japanese Yen, on the other
hand; the Company's ability to obtain adequate financing on commercially
acceptable terms; a downgrade in the Company's financial strength ratings;
significant acquisitions or divestitures by major competitors and future
terrorist activities. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these
forward-looking statements because they speak only as of the date on which they
were made. The Company does not undertake any obligation to republish revised
forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of
these forward-looking statements or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated
events. Readers are also urged to carefully review and consider the various
disclosures in the Company's various SEC reports, including, but not limited to,
its Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2004.
