The company announced a profit warning for the first quarter of 2015, with an estimated net loss between RMB300-390 million compared to a net profit of RMB395.8 million in the same period last year. This was due to a slowdown in construction and real estate investment in China reducing demand for the company's construction machinery. Tightened sales policies and a delayed start to projects after the late Chinese New Year also negatively impacted sales and profits. Full financial details will be provided in the company's quarterly report. Shareholders are advised to exercise caution when dealing in the company's shares.
