Huiyin Household Appliances (Holdings) Co., Ltd. provided earnings guidance for the six months ended 30 June 2013. The group is expected to record a loss as compared to the net profit for the corresponding period in 2012. The change is mainly attributable to the following reasons: the provisions made by the group, if any, in respect of the amounts due from suppliers after taking into account of the increased operation pressure in the upstream industry; and the increasing cost pressure in the home appliances industry.
