Chow Sang Sang Holdings International Limited provided earnings guidance for the six months ended 30 June 2016. For the period, the company is expected to record a decrease of approximately 50-60% in the amount of profit attributable to equity holders of the company for the period as compared to that for the corresponding period in 2015. The reasons for the decrease are: during the six months ended 30 June 2015, there was a one-off gain on the disposal of part of long-term holding of shares in Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited of HKD 246 million, a decline in turnover due to weakened consumer demand in Mainland China and Hong Kong, and gold hedging activities for the Period resulted in unrealized losses whereas similar activities for the corresponding period in 2015 resulted in unrealized gains.
