China Assurance Finance Group Limited provided earnings guidance for the six months ended June 30, 2017. For the period, the company expects to record a loss after tax for the six months ended 30 June 2017. The Group made a profit after tax for the corresponding period in 2016. Such change was mainly due to: the absence of gain on bargain purchase arising from acquisition of Nanning (China -- ASEAN) Commodity Exchange Company Limited in the corresponding period in 2016 and a significant decline in the income from online trading platform services comparing to the corresponding period in 2016.
