Novo Group warns shareholders of loss

The profit warning was due to the decline in the Group’s trading business.

The board of directors of Novo Group Ltd. informed the company’s shareholders and potential investors that the Group expects to record a loss in its unaudited consolidated quarterly results for the first quarter ended 31 July 2012.

Novo Group said the expected loss is mainly attributable to the decline in the Group’s trading business brought about by the unpredictable economic situation due to heightening concerns of sovereign debt crisis in Europe and concerns of a hard landing in the People’s Republic of China throughout the period under review.

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.
