FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2018

Given that the companies listed on GEM are generally small and mid-sized companies, there is a risk that securities traded on GEM may be more susceptible to high market volatility than securities traded on the Main Board and no assurance is given that there will be a liquid market in the securities traded on GEM.

DISPOSAL OF AID PARTNERS ASSET MANAGEMENT LIMITED ("AIDPAML")

On 8 January 2018, the Group entered into a sale and purchase agreement with an independent third party (the "Purchaser"), pursuant to which the Group has conditionally agreed to sell and the Purchaser has conditionally agreed to purchase the entire issued capital of AIDPAML, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Group, for a cash consideration of approximately HK$5.9 million. AIDPAML is principally engaged in provision of investment advisory and asset management services. The disposal of AIDPAML was completed on 5 September 2018. A gain on the disposal of AIDPAML of approximately HK$5.7 million was recognised in profit or loss for the nine months ended 30 September 2018.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Revenue for the nine months under review decreased to HK$9.0 million from HK$23.6 million for the corresponding period last year, while total operating expenses (being selling and distribution expenses, administrative expenses and other operating expenses) for the nine months under review decreased to HK$80.0 million from HK$115.5 million for the corresponding period last year.

Fair value loss on financial assets at fair value through profit or loss of HK$27.6 million was recognised for the nine months under review, while fair value loss of HK$57.3 million was recognised for the corresponding period last year. The decrease in fair value loss was mainly attributable to the unrealised fair value gain of HK$82.8 million recognised as a result of fair value change of a financial asset at fair value through profit or loss during the nine months under review.

Other net income for the nine months under review decreased to HK$11.0 million from HK$45.7 million for the corresponding period last year, which was mainly due to a gain on deemed disposal of interest in an associate of HK$31.8 million was recognised for the corresponding period last year, while no such gain was recognised for the nine months under review.

Finance costs for the nine months under review increased to HK$10.6 million from HK$9.9 million for the corresponding period of last year, mainly represent the effective interest expense of the convertible bonds with principal amount of HK$140 million.

Subsequent to the reclassification of interest in an associate to an investment on 28 June 2017, fair value loss on reclassification of interest in an associate to financial assets at fair value through profit or loss of HK$286.9 million and share of results of associates of HK$2.3 million were recognised in profit or loss in the corresponding period last year, whereas no such fair value loss and share of results of associates for the nine months under review.

As a result, the Group reported a loss attributable to owners of the Company for the nine months under review of HK$93.6 million as compared to HK$393.4 million for the corresponding period last year.

The Group will continue to (i) seize good opportunities from the potential fast growing specialised industry of health technology; (ii) monitor and maximise the value of our investments; and (iii) seek for potential strategic investment and divestment opportunities with the objective to enhance the return to its shareholders.
