The board of directors of Sound Global Ltd. informed the shareholders of the company and potential investors that it is likely that the Group will record an increase of approximately 35% to 42% in its consolidated net profit for the year ended 31 December 2014 as compared with that for the year ended 31 December 2013. The increase was mainly attributable to the continuous growth in the turnkey projects and services segment and the operation and maintenance (O&M) segment. The growth in the O&M segment is resultant from the company's continuous effort in expanding, in the municipal, industrial and rural sectors, its investment in Build, Operate and Transfer (BOT) projects, mergers and acquisitions of water projects and third-party trust operations projects.
