Asia Orient Holdings Limited provided earnings guidance for the year ended March 31, 2017. For the year, the group is expected to record a significant increase in profit attributable to shareholders for the year ended 31 March 2017 as compared to 2016. The significant increase in profit was mainly attributable to increase in net investment gain and income from investment in financial assets, increase in surplus on revaluation of investment properties, share of net profits from joint ventures and associated companies against share of net losses from them in 2016, and the increment is partially reduced by an exceptional provision on impairment charges on property held for development for sale.
