PROFIT WARNING

SUPPLEMENTAL ANNOUNCEMENT

Reference is made to the announcement of Neway Group Holdings Limited ("Company", together with its subsidiaries, the "Group") dated 13 July 2020 in relation to the profit warning of the Company ("Announcement"). Terms used herein shall have the same meanings as defined in the Announcement, unless the context requires otherwise.

The Board wishes to further inform the Shareholders and potential investors that based on the preliminary review and analysis of the unaudited consolidated management accounts of the Group currently available, the Group is expected to record a loss in the range from approximately HK$47 million to approximately HK$62 million for 1H 2020, as compared to the loss of approximately HK$6.2 million for 1H 2019. The Board considers that such significant increase in loss was primarily attributable to (i) the increase of fair value loss on held-for-trading investments recorded during 1H 2020 to approximately HK$33.8 million (1H 2019: fair value gain of approximately HK$1.9 million) and (ii) the expected net impairment losses on financial assets and contract assets of approximately HK$6.7 million recorded in 1H 2020 (1H 2019: net reversal of impairment losses on trade receivables and contract assets of approximately HK$0.5 million).
