Asia Pacific Silk Road Investment Company Limited provided earnings guidance for the year ended 31 December 2018. The Group is expected to record a consolidated net loss for the year ended 31 December 2018 compared to a consolidated net profit for the year ended 31 December 2017. The Board considers that such expected consolidated net loss is mainly due to (i) the decrease in revenue contributed by the business segment of operation of peer-to-peer financing platform and other loan facilitation services of the Group during the year; (ii) the impairment loss of approximately HKD 1,717,000,000 in respect of the goodwill of the business of the operation of P2P financing platform of the Group recognised during the six months ended 30 June 2018; and (iii) the impairment loss of approximately HKD 25,336,000 in respect of fixed assets recognised during the year following the early termination of a lease agreement by the Company as disclosed in the announcement of the Company dated 29 June 2018.
