For Immediate Release:

China Ceramics Announces a Clarified and Corrected Capex Outlook

Jinjiang, Fujian Province, China, May 11, 2011–China Ceramics Co., Ltd. (NASDAQ Global Market: CCCL, CCCLW, CCCLU) (“China Ceramics” or the “Company”), a leading Chinese manufacturer of ceramic tiles used for exterior siding and for interior flooring and design in residential and commercial buildings, today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2011.

Due to a misstatement in the Company’s first quarter 2011 Business Outlook section, a clarified and corrected capital expenditures outlook is as follows:

Business Outlook

In the first quarter ended March 31, 2011, total capital expenditures for the Company were approximately RMB 164.2 million (US$ 25.0 million). In the first quarter, the Company’s capital expenditures for Hengda were RMB 35.1 million (US$ 5.4 million).  The total capital expenditures in 2011 for Hengda is estimated to be RMB 175 million (US $27 million).  No further capital expenditures are expected for Hengda in 2012. The Company’s capital expenditures for Hengdali in the first quarter were approximately RMB 129.1 million (US$ 19.6 million).  The total capital expenditures for Hengdali in 2011 is estimated to be RMB 195 million (US $30 million). The total capital expenditures for both Hengda and Hengdali in 2011 is expected to be $57 million.

After the completion of the improvements at Hengda and the completion of Phase II at Hengdali, China Ceramics expects to have a total annual production capacity of approximately 72 million square meters by the end of 2011. This is expected to be comprised of 42 million square meters of total capacity from the Hengda facility and 30 million square meters of total capacity from the Hengdali facility.

The completion of expansion at Hengdali will be postponed to the end of 2012. Capital expenditures will be approximately RMB 230 million (US $35 million) which is expected to provide an additional 14 million square meters of capacity in 2013.

Management revised capital expenditure estimates from previous estimates of $43 million for 2011 so as to expedite the expansion of the two facilities and capitalize upon customer demand. The Company believes that its current cash balances combined with its expected future cash flow from operations and its borrowing capacity will be sufficient to meet the capital expenditure requirements of the production capacity expansion associated with the Hengda and Hengdali facilities.
