Kantone Holdings Limited provided consolidated earnings guidance for the six months ended December 31, 2014. Based on the latest review of the unaudited consolidated accounts of the company and its subsidiaries for the six months ended 31 December 2014, the group is expected to record a significant drop in profit or even a loss as compared with the results for the corresponding period in 2013. The decline in profit is primarily attributable to the proposed provision charge in view of the continuing slowdown in business growth experienced by the group in recent months caused by the uncertain economic conditions in the markets where the group operates, and delay in the development of certain technology projects undertaken by the group which in turn led to a decline in the expected demands from potential customers.
