Emperor Capital Group Limited announced that based on a preliminary review of the group's management accounts, the group is expected to record a significant increase in profit for the year ended 30 September 2013 as compared with that for 2012, which is mainly attributable to the increase in (i) commission income from placing and underwriting activities and (ii) interest income from the money lending business. This positive profit alert announcement is only based on the preliminary review of the group's management accounts available for the time being, which are still subject to possible adjustments arising from further internal review by the board and audit by the auditors of the company. The audited annual results of the Group for the year ended 30 September 2013 have not yet been finalized and are expected to be announced in December 2013.
