CSCL blamed the loss on the weaker operating environment of higher costs coming on the back of flat revenues.

First quarter revenues came in at RMB6.45bn, a touch lower than the RMB6.53bn last year. Operating costs however shot up about a fifth from RMB6.7bn to RMB8.1bn as higher fuel, among other costs, took their toll.
