Earnest Investments Holdings Ltd. provided earnings guidance for the six-month ended 30 June 2016. For the period, the company expects to record a loss as compared with the loss recorded by the company for the corresponding period in 2015. The Board considers that the expected increased loss is mainly attributable to a greater loss on financial assets at fair value through profit or loss of approximately HKD 5.1 million (which comprised of unrealized gain and realised loss of approximately HKD 18.0 million and HKD 23.1 million respectively) expected to be recorded for the six-month period ended 30 June 2016 as compared with the loss on financial assets at fair value through profit or loss of approximately HKD 3.5 million (which comprised of unrealized loss and realised gain of approximately HKD 3.9 million and HKD 0.4 million respectively) recorded by the company for the corresponding period ended 30 June 2015; and an increase in administrative and other operating expense of approximately HKS 1.3 million during its six-month period ended 30 June 2016.
