HongKong Chinese Ltd. provided earnings guidance for the year ended December 31, 2012. For the year, the company expects likely to record a loss for the twelve months ended December 31, 2012 as compared to a profit recorded for the corresponding period in 2011 based on information currently available to the company. The company expects loss was mainly attributable to the non-recurrence in 2012 of significant fair value gains of an investment property held by the group's associate following its completion in 2011 and the higher finance costs incurred by the group's associates.
