Chinese Strategic Holdings Limited provided group earnings guidance for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2013. For the third quarter, the company announced that, based on the preliminary unaudited consolidated management accounts of the company for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the group is expected to record a substantial increase in profit for the three months ended September 30, 2013. The increase in profit for the three months ended September 30, 2013 was mainly due to increase in gain on disposal of investments held for trading, decrease in loss arising from fair value changes of convertible instruments designated at financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, and reversal of impairment loss on interest in an associate.

However, the group is still expected to record a loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.
