IRICO Group Electronics Company Limited provided earnings guidance for the year ended December 31, 2012. The board of directors of the Company hereby informs shareholders and potential investors of the Company that the Group is expected to record a significant loss attributable to owners of the Group for the year ended 31 December 2012, mainly due to the following reasons: In 2012, the colour picture tube business of the Group continued to contract, the market competition within the solar photovoltaic glass industry and the luminous materials industry escalated, the prices of products remained low and the liquid crystal display glass substrate production line was still under construction or at the stage of trial production; and Impairment and provisions were made against certain assets. This estimated loss is based only on the preliminary management accounts of the Group, which have not been reviewed or confirmed by the auditors of the Company.
