In a statement filed to the Shenzhen Stock Exchange earlier in the day, LiuGong Machinery said it expected last year's net profit to be around 805 million yuan, and earnings per share to be about 0.72 yuan.

The profit rise was attributable to an increase in sales revenue and lower costs of raw materials in 2009, it said.
