Strong Petrochemical Holdings Limited provided earnings guidance for the six months ended 30 June 2014. For the period, the company expects that the group's unaudited profit attributable to shareholders may experience a material decline as compared with that of the same period last year. Such decrease in profit was primarily attributable to (i) the decrease in revenue and gross profit in the group as a whole during the six months ended 30 June 2014, and (ii) the one-off gain arisen from the disposal of interest in Asia Sixth Energy Resources Limited during the same period last year.
