The board of directors of Poly Property Group Co., Limited announced that the group is expected to record a decrease of approximately 40% in profit attributable to owners of the company for the six months ended 30 June 2014 as compared with that for the corresponding period in 2013. Such expected decrease was mainly attributable to the following reasons: a decrease in the gross profit due to increased cost of sales; no exchange gain recognized; a decrease in revaluation gains from investment properties; and an increase in finance costs.
