Astrum Financial Holdings Limited provided consolidated group earnings guidance for the three months ended March 31, 2018. For the period, the group is expected to record an unaudited loss and total comprehensive expense of approximately HKD 1.0 million as compared to an unaudited profit and total comprehensive income of approximately HKD 16.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017. Such expected change in the results of the group for the current period is mainly attributable to the significant decrease in revenue derived from placing and underwriting services from approximately HKD 23.5 million for the corresponding period to approximately HKD 0.3 million for the current period; the significant decrease in commission from brokerage services from approximately HKD 3.9 million for the corresponding period to approximately HKD 1.3 million for the current period; and the significant decrease in interest income from securities and IPO financing from approximately HKD 2.3 million for the corresponding period to approximately HKD 0.7 million for the current period.
