Earnest Investments Holdings Limited provided earnings guidance for the six months ended June 30, 2017. The company is expected to record a decrease in loss for the six-month period ended 30 June 2017 as compared with the loss recorded by the company for the corresponding period in 2016. The Board considers that such decrease in loss is mainly attributable to the gain on financial assets at fair value through profit or loss of approximately HKD 1.0 million (which comprised of unrealized loss and realized gain of approximately HKD 3.8 million and HKD 4.8 million respectively) as compared with the loss on financial assets at fair value through profit or loss of approximately HKD 5.1 million (which comprised of unrealized gain and realized loss of approximately HKD 18.0 million and HKD 23.1 million respectively) recorded by the company for the corresponding period ended 30 June 2016 as a result of the recent upturn in financial market.
