Chinese People Holdings Company Limited provided earnings guidance for the six months ended September 30, 2012. The group is expected to record a profit for the six months ended September 30, 2012 which is substantially less than that of the corresponding period in 2011. The expected decrease in profit is mainly attributable to the non-recurring and non-cash income arising from further acquisition of lottery business and recorded for approximately HKD 230 million for the six months ended September 30, 2011, whereas no such income was recorded in this reporting period.
