Nanjing Sample Technology Company Ltd. board announced that the Group expects to record a significant decrease in profit for the year ended December 31, 2013 as compared to that for the year ended December 31, 2012, based on a preliminary review on the unaudited consolidated management accounts of the Group for the year ended December 31, 2013. The Board believes that the significant decrease in the unaudited consolidated profit is mainly attributable to: the increase in research and development cost; and the absence of one-off investment income from the disposal of long term equity investment in 2012.
