Chu Kong Petroleum and Natural Gas Steel Pipe Holdings Limited provided consolidated earnings guidance for the year ended December 31, 2013. The company expects that the Group's consolidated net profit for the year ended 31 December 2013 may significantly decrease as compared to the year ended 31 December 2012, which is mainly attributable to the decrease in both domestic and export sales orders in 2013, an increase in operational expenses and finance costs associated with the Group's new production bases.
