For the period, the company, based on the information currently available to the Company and the preliminary review by the Board on the unaudited management accounts of the Group for the period, which have not been reviewed nor audited by the independent auditors and/or the audit committee of the Company, it is expected that the Group's revenue for the period may increase by no less than 18% as compared with that for the six months ended 30 June 2022, and that the Group's profit for the Period (excluding unaccounted profit or loss from changes in the fair value of financial instruments) will increase by no less than 40% as compared to the Group's profit for the Corresponding Period Last Year. The Board considers that the change in the Group's operating results is primarily attributable to the following factors: constant product costs optimization undertaken by the Group, which in turn increased the gross profits of newly-launched products, and thus improved the overall gross margin; the implementation of a strict control on expense, which improved the Company ' s profitability and more efficient use of funds and increased interest income from bank deposits.
