AID Partners Technology Holdings Limited provided group earnings guidance for the nine months ended 30 September 2017. The group is expected to record a loss for the nine months ended 30 September 2017 as compared to a profit for the nine months ended 30 September 2016. The aforesaid turnaround from profit to loss was mainly attributable to the substantial gain on the disposal of HMV M&E Limited and its subsidiary was recognised in profit or loss for the nine months ended 30 September 2016 whereas no such gain was recognised for the Period; and unrealised fair value loss recognised upon the reclassification of the interest in an associate to investments during the Period (such fair value loss is non-recurring, non-cash in nature and will not have any cash flow impact to the Group).
