Sino-Tech International Holdings Limited provided earnings guidance for the six months ended June 30, 2014. For the period, the group is expected to report an estimated increase of approximately 140% in the loss for the six months ended 30 June 2014 as compared with the loss of approximately HKD 6.6 million for the six months ended 30 June 2013. The increase in loss was mainly due to: the decrease in the profit from the electronic products segment; gain on disposal of 50% equity interest in a subsidiary in the Corresponding Period but not in the Reporting Period; and the compensation for the loss of office by a former director and Chief Executive Officer of the company.

The Group's loss for the Reporting Period, however, was partly offset by the first interim dividend received from CITIC Logistics (International) Company Limited.
