Oriental Explorer Holdings Limited provided unaudited consolidated earnings guidance for the six months ended June 30, 2021. For the six months, the Group is expected to record a consolidated profit before taxation within a range of HKD 8 million to HKD 9 million for the Period, compared with a consolidated loss before taxation of approximately HKD 128 million for the six months ended 30 June 2020. The anticipated turnaround from loss to profit was mainly attributable to: (i) the non-recurrence of a significant fair value loss on listed equity investments during the Period (corresponding period in 2020: approximately HKD 127 million) as a result of the Group's cessation of securities trading business in the second half of 2020; and (ii) the increase in rental income from investment properties to approximately HKD 14 million during the Period (corresponding period in 2020: approximately HKD 3 million).
