It is expected that the continuing business for the consolidated profit of the Inspur International (HKG:0596) group for the year ended 31 December 2011 will record a decrease by approximately 60% as compared to the profit for the corresponding period in 2010, the company said.

Such decline is primarily attributable to increase in expenses on research and development and marketing inputs in order to maintain and strengthen the group's future competitiveness.

The company plans to announce its 2011 annual results by the end of next month.
