Newton Resources Ltd. provided preliminary earnings guidance for the six months ended 30 June 2016. For the six months, the company reported unaudited consolidated net loss is expected to increase by more than 100% as compared to the net loss for the six months ended 30 June 2015 of approximately RMB 10.1 million. The increase in net loss is mainly attributable to (i) provision made for the Group's current assets, including certain prepayments and inventories for the Reporting Period; and (ii) the decrease in the interest income for the Reporting Period as compared to the Corresponding Prior Period because of the decline in deposit interest rates offered by major banks of the Group in the first half of 2016.
