Fairson Holdings Limited provided earnings guidance for the nine months ended December 31, 2013. The board of directors announced that the Group expects to record an increase in the consolidated net loss for the nine months ended December 31, 2013 as compared with the corresponding period in 2012. The Board believes that the increase in the consolidated net loss was mainly attributable to: the share- based payments incurred due to the grant of share options to the consultants of the Group during the nine months ended December 31, 2013 (which is a non-cash flow item and will not have direct impact on the cash flow of the Group); and the increase in operating costs for the nine months ended December 31, 2013 due to expansion of the business of the Group during the period.
