Singapore & Hong Kong, January 6, 2014 – Midas Holdings Limited (麦达斯控股

Slated for delivery between 2015 and 2016, both contracts are expected to
contribute positively to the Group’s financial performance in 2015 and 2016.

Fantastic start to the new year with such an impressive contract win. I guess now it's waiting for Midas to announce more good news from the second round of HST tenders. It is almost a certainty that projects awarded to CNR will end up with contracts to Midas. My concern is for the projects won by CSR. I am not too clear about the set up of CSR but I understand that CSR Qingdao Sifang doesn't do business with Midas, but some other CSR Sifang subsidiaries do. Would greatly appreciate it if someone more well informed can enlighten me on this aspect. Grand master ZEN, kindly impart your wisdom... Thanks

it is true csr qingdao sifang doesn't have collaboration but there are other csr subsidiary that have business with MIDAS .

MIDAS has a stake in NPRT which produces METRO trains etc. SO profits will flow into MIDAS indirectly .

Other businesses that award contracts to MIDAS , for example like High speed train contracts goes directly to MIDAS holdings itself

So in either cases , the more contracts win the merrrier .

We should hear from CNR soon for bullet train contracts

True. But I hope that for the 2nd batch of HST orders that were awarded in Dec, the 78 250km/hr trains and the 83 350km/hr trains awarded to CSR Sifang were NOT for CSR Qingduo. I want a clean sweep for Midas (I'm pretty greedy, I'm afraid).

The wait for the contract announcement from Midas is killing me !!!!!!!!
