10. A commentary at the date of announcement of the significant trends and competitive conditions of the industry in which the group operates and any known factors or events that may affect the group in the next reporting period and the next 12 months 10.1 The macroeconomic outlook for Singapore is expected to remain positive with external demand providing bulk of the impetus. However, domestic demand growth, which has more direct impact on the Group’s print advertisement revenue, may be more measured. Against this backdrop, the Group’s print advertisement revenue is expected to remain stable in the near term. Despite a declining trend in global newspaper circulation sales, the Group continues to sustain its level of circulation sales. 10.2 Newsprint prices are expected to rise at a moderating pace due to continued imbalances in demand and supply. The Group has and will continue to put in place cost saving measures to manage a sustained level of margin for its core newspaper business. 10.3 The Paragon is likely to continue returning healthy rental yields amidst the positive sentiments in the property market. Riding on the wave of sustained recovery in the high-end property market, the Group recently announced its plan to develop an exclusive freehold condominium along Thomson Road, which is expected to be launched in 2007. 10.4 Excluding non-recurring gains, the Group’s investment income is expected to vary with the performance of the local and global financial markets. 10.5 Overall, the Directors expect the recurring earnings for the current financial year to be satisfactory. 11.
