Advanced Holdings Ltd. provided consolidated earnings guidance for the second quarter ended June 30, 2014. For the period, the group is not expected to report a profit as compared to the corresponding period ended 30 June 2013. Based on a preliminary review of the unaudited financial results of the group, this is mainly attributable to higher distribution and marketing costs as well as R&D costs as part of the Group's strategy to invest in technologies to enhance its competitive edge.
