The railway company said that its businesses were affected by the decline of railway transportation demand due to the international financial turmoil and the spread of the A/H1N1 flue.
The company managed to have a slight growth in operating turnover in the first three quarters through adjusting transportation and promoting sales. But as the operating scale of the company turned larger, the operating cost also saw a rise.
But along with the recovery of the economy, China's railway transportation demand is rebounding gradually. Guangshen Railway therefore obtained a positive growth of net profit in the third quarter.
Guangshen Railway meanwhile disclosed that it plans to issue five-year term notes of four billion yuan, which has already been approved on the general shareholders' meeting of 2008. The issuance is under preparation at present.
