Alkis H. Hadjikyriacos (Frou-Frou Biscuits) Public Ltd. provided earnings guidance for the first half of 2012. For the period, the company expects that the results for the first half of 2012 are expected to be lower than those of the corresponding period of 2011 due to the ongoing financial crisis and despite recent announcements that "the Cyprus economy goes well". The Board of Directors and the Management try to maintain the profitability levels of 2011 until the end of the year, however, the economic recession deteriorates and despite efforts, this goal seems to be difficult and the profitability for 2012 is uncertain and risky.
