Yurun Food Group distributes profits warning

A profits warning in a statement to shareholders was issued by the China Yurun Food Group.

The company said that according to the preliminary draft of the unaudited management accounts of the Group for the year ended December 31, 2012, the results of the Group are expected to record substantial decrease and loss compared with the results for the year 2011.

The company said that as had been disclosed in previous announcements, the effects of certain operation strategies of the Group already implemented cannot be fully reflected, because of "macro-economic uncertainties". The management said it will continue to adopt a series of measures in order to recover its business development.

The annual results of the Group for the year 2012 are expected to be announced by end of March. Figures are at present being reviewed and are subject to adjustments.
