HC International Inc. provided earnings guidance for the six months ended June 30, 2013. For the period, the group is expected to record an increase in profit as compared to the corresponding period in 2012. The Board believes that the increase is attributable to, among other things, the increasing number of fee-paying users/subscribers and expansion of coverage of customer base of the group on-line services/products, and the Board considers the said increase be in line with the group's recent trend of development.
