Fairson Holdings Limited provided consolidated earnings guidance for the six months ended September 30, 2012. For the period, the group is expected to record a consolidated net loss as compared with a consolidated net profit for the six months ended September 30, 2011. The Board believes that the net loss was mainly attributable to the operating loss in the business segment of copper wires, of which this business operation had been ceased since late September 2012; and the decrease in the profit margin as a result of the intensified market competition under the global economic downturn.
