RoadShow Holdings Limited provided earnings guidance for the year ended December 31, 2014. The board announced that based on the preliminary assessment of the latest unaudited financial information, taking no account of the gain on disposal of other financial assets of approximately HKD 32.2 million recorded for the year ended 31 December 2014, and the one-off reversal of impairment loss on other financial assets of HKD 25.6 million during the year ended 31 December 2013, it is expected that the Group's profit from operations for the year ended 31 December 2014 will decrease significantly by more than 45% as compared with that for the year ended 31 December 2013 of HKD 83.0 million. It is also expected that the Group's profit for the year ended 31 December 2014 will decrease by approximately 30% as compared with that for the year ended 31 December 2013 of HKD 108.6 million.

The decrease is mainly attributable to reduction in revenue due to the sluggish demand in the market particularly with regard to the retail sector, the increase in costs as well as an exchange loss of approximately HKD 5.0 million due to the depreciation in Renminbi against Hong Kong dollars. The Board notes that the expected exchange loss does not have any cash flow impact on the financial strength of the Group.
