Sino Construction warns of loss

The Group secured less contracts.

Based on a preliminary review of the unaudited financial results of Sino Construction Limited and its subsidiaries for the third quarter and nine months ended 30 September 2012, the Board of Directors announced that the Group expects a loss for 9M2012.

The announcement said this is mainly due to the intense pricing pressure to secure contracts amidst the sluggish economy, resulting in the Group securing less contracts and also projects with lesser contract value than the previous period.

The Group also expects to make allowance for impairment for certain trade debtors with long outstanding debts.

A decline in construction revenue and a net loss for 9M2012 are therefore likely.

Further details of the Group’s financial performance will be announced on or before 14 November 2012.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
