The increase in revenue of the Group during the Period was mainly due to the increase in revenue generated from the financial trading software solutions business and money lending business. The improvement in financial performance was mainly attributable to the gain on disposal of subsidiaries of approximately HKD 7,588,000 recognised during the period, the gain on disposal of an associate of approximately HKD 8,347,000 recognised during the period, the profit guarantee income in relation to an associate of approximately HKD 6,163,000 recognised during the period and the decrease in finance costs of approximately HKD 5,577,000, as compared with those incurred by the Group in the nine months ended 30 September 2016. Such improvement in the operating results was partly offset by the foregoing share-based payments of approximately HKD 8,278,000 recognised during the Period.
