EPI (Holdings) Limited announced that based on the preliminary assessment of the unaudited consolidated management accounts of the Group for the year ended December 31, 2015 and other information currently available to the management of the Group, the Group is expected to record an increase in loss for the year ended December 31, 2015 as compared to the loss from continuing operation of approximately HKD 180 million for the year ended December 31, 2014. Such increase in loss is expected to be primarily attributable to the increase in impairment on exploration and evaluation assets, oil and gas properties and certain related assets of not more than HKD 138 million and the decrease in fair value gains on financial instruments of approximately HKD 37 million, which is partially offset by the decrease in other expenses of approximately HKD 78 million.
