Guangdong Tannery sees fortunes turning

19/06/2013
China’s Guangdong Tannery has announced that it expects to turn a profit for the six months ending 30 June compared with a loss during the same period last year.

The announcement has been made through The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong as part of the rules for investors.

“Based on the current estimate of the company's management, the group is expected to record a net profit for the six months ending 30 June 2013 as compared to a net loss for the corresponding period in 2012,” it said.

This is primarily attributable to an increase in sales and improvement in gross profit margin, it said, but added that as it is still analysing the reasons for the improvement, the information is subject to change.
