The board of directors GET Holdings Limited informed the shareholders of the company and potential investors that based on the preliminary review and analysis of the latest available unaudited financial information of the Group, the Group is expected to record a net profit of not less than HKD 29 million for the nine months ended 30 September 2016 (the Relevant Period) as compared to a net profit of approximately HKD 51.5 million for the corresponding period in 2015. Based on the information currently available to the Board, such significant decrease in net profit was primarily attributable to the combined effects of (i) the decrease in segment profit contributed by the software business of the Group from approximately HKD 64.4 million for the nine months ended 30 September 2015 to approximately HKD 49.8 million for the Relevant Period, which was due to keen competition in the market and fluctuation in global economy; and (ii) the increase in finance costs by HKD 16.3 million to approximately HKD 17 million for the Relevant Period (2015: approximately HKD 0.7 million) mainly as a result of the issue of loan notes by the Company during the period from April 2015 to January 2016.
