Asia Financial Holdings Limited provided earnings guidance for the year ended December 31, 2012. The Group is expected to record a substantial profit for the year ended 31st December 2012 as compared to a loss for the corresponding period in 2011. This result is attributed to the healthy growth of the Group's insurance business and the investment profit arising from the Group's trading portfolio as a result of the rebound of major equity markets during the second half of the year 2012.

This positive profit alert announcement is only based on the preliminary review of the management accounts of the Group, which have not been confirmed or audited by the company's auditors.
