Rivera Holdings Ltd. provided preliminary audited consolidated earnings guidance for the six months ended June 30, 2013. The group is expected to record a substantial decrease in consolidated profit after tax for the six months ended June 30, 2013 as compared with that for the corresponding period in 2012. During the first half of 2013, the Group is expected to record a rise in its share of profit of an associate which recognized sale proceeds of its residential development project in Shanghai in addition to the rental income from its office buildings and commercial centre there.

However, it is expected that there would be an unrealized loss on changes in fair value of the trading securities held by the Group as at the end of the period under review according to the accounting standards adopted by the Group. Accordingly, it is expected that the Group's consolidated results after tax for the six months ended 30th June, 2013 may be substantially lower than that for the corresponding period in 2012.
