The board of directors of PanAsialum Holdings Company Limited announced that based on the information currently available, the consolidated profit of the Group for the second half of the financial year ending 30 September 2013 is expected to record a significant decline when compared with that of the first half of the financial year. Accordingly, the consolidated profit of the Group for the financial year ending 30 September 2013 is also expected to record a decline when compared with that of last year. Such decline is primarily due to the recent significant drop in the orders for electronics parts products from the major customer of the Group, and the recent weak performance of the Australian dollar which affects the profits of the Group's export sales of construction and industrial products to the Australian market.
