The board of directors of China Investment and Finance Group Limited announced to the shareholders of the company and potential investors that the Group is expected to record a significant increase in loss for the interim period ended September 30, 2015, as compared to the unaudited consolidated loss for the six months ended September 30, 2014. Based on the preliminary assessment of the Group and information currently available to the Board, the expected significant increase in loss for the interim period ended September 30, 2015 was primarily attributable to the net effect of unrealised loss on listed investments of approximately HKD 63 million and net realised gain on disposal of subsidiaries, which principally held unlisted investments and properties, of approximately HKD 18 million.
