The board of directors of Rivera Holdings Ltd. is expected to record a substantial increase in consolidated profit after tax for the six months ended 30th June, 2012 as compared with that for the corresponding period in 2011. The expected increase in the results of the Group for the period under review is mainly attributable to a gain generated from realization of the trading securities held by the Group. In addition, the group is expected to record a rise in the group's share of profit of an associate which recognized sale proceeds of its residential development project in Shanghai during the first half of 2012 in addition to the rental income from its office buildings and commercial centre therein.
