Yangzhou Guangling District Taihe Rural Micro-finance Company Limited provided earnings guidance for the six months ended 30 June 2018. The company is expected to record an increase of no less than 70% in profit attributable to the Shareholders for the six months ended 30 June 2018 as compared to that of the corresponding period last year as published in the Company's 2017 interim report. The Board considers that such increase in profit was mainly due to the increase in interest income as a result of the deployment of net proceeds raised from the Company's initial public offering for its business, and decrease in expenses of the Company in the absence of listing expenses.
