The board of directors of AID Partners Technology Holdings Limited announced that, based on a preliminary review of the unaudited financial information of the company and its subsidiaries, the Group is expected to record a profit for the year ended 31 December 2016 as compared to a loss for the year ended 31 December 2015. The Board considers that the aforesaid turnaround from loss to profit was principally attributable to the substantial gain on the disposal of HMV M&E Limited and its subsidiaries during the year.
