SHANGHAI, March 17 (Reuters) - Year ended Dec. 31, 2007.

2007 2006

Turnover 30,871.11 5,990.85

Company: CITIC Securities Co. (600030.SS: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz) is an arm of
China's largest financial conglomerate, China International
Trust and Investment Corp (CITIC).

Note: The company published audited results, compiled under
domestic accounting standards. It had already announced in
January that its net profit more than quintupled last year.

Earnings were boosted in 2007 by a bull run in the stock
market, which nearly doubled the value of the main Shanghai stock
index .SSEC and more than tripled daily trading turnover.

CITIC Securities said commission income rose 404 percent to
13.38 billion yuan ($1.89 billion), while income from stock
underwriting fees rose 132 percent to 1.86 billion yuan.

The company warned that, for 2008, investment risks were
mounting as the impact of the U.S. subprime debt crisis on
China's economy and securities markets remained unclear.
