Prosperity Investment Holdings Limited announced that, based on the preliminary review of the unaudited management accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries, the Group expects to record a loss of approximately HKD 14 million for the six months ended 30 June 2017, as compared with the loss of approximately HKD 34 million for the six months ended 30 June 2016. The reduction in loss of approximately HKD 20 million for the 2017 Interim was primarily due to the following reasons: a loss of approximately HKD 2 million arose from the change in fair value of held-for-trading listed equity investments for 2017 Interim, as compared with that of approximately HKD 19 million for 2016 Interim which was caused by the fluctuation of the stock market; and an impairment loss of HKD 0.6 million on the available-for-sale listed equity investment for 2017 Interim, as compared with that of approximately HKD 4 million for 2016 Interim.
