EPI (Holdings) Limited reported earnings guidance for the six months ended 30 June 2018. Based on a preliminary review by the Company's management on the unaudited management accounts of the Group, the Board of Directors (the "Board") of the Company wishes to inform the shareholders of the Company (the "Shareholders") and potential investors that the Group expects to record a decrease in loss attributable to owners of the Company for the six months ended 30 June 2018 as compared to the loss of approximately HKD 61.0 million for the six months ended 30 June 2017. Such expected decrease in loss is mainly due to (i) the absence of the share-based payments expense of approximately HKD 73.3 million, which was non-cash in nature, recognised for the six months ended 30 June 2017 in relation to the granting of share options, though such decrease in loss is partially offset by (ii) the net fair value loss on convertible notes recorded for the six months ended 30 June 2018 of approximately HKD 16.0 million as compared with the net fair value gain on convertible notes recorded for the corresponding period in last year of approximately HKD 3.6 million, which was non-cash in nature; and (iii) the net loss on financial assets at fair value through profit or loss ("FVTPL") recorded for the six months ended 30 June 2018 of approximately HKD 25.5 million (which comprised of net unrealised loss and net realised gain of approximately HKD 28.5 million and HKD 3.0 million respectively) as compared with the net gain on financial assets at FVTPL recorded for the corresponding period in last year of approximately HKD 10.6 million (which comprised of net unrealised gain and net realised gain of approximately HKD 1.1 million and HKD 9.5 million respectively).
