JF Household Furnishings Limited provided consolidated earnings guidance for the six months ended June 30, 2012. For the period, the company expects a loss compared to a profit of the same period in 2011. The expected loss is mainly attributable to the decrease in turnover of the stainless steel business; the disposed timber business no longer contributes to the revenue of the group for the six months ended June 30, 2012; the absence of a significant one time gain for the six months ended June 30, 2012 as compared to a one off gain from the disposal of former subsidiaries of the company as recorded in June 2011; and the increase of expenses in potential project identification and assessment.
