Hailan Holdings Limited provided earnings guidance for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The board of directors of the company announced that based on a preliminary review of the unaudited consolidated management accounts of the group for the six months ended 30 June 2018, it is expected that the Group's profit before taxation for the six months ended 30 June 2018 had increased significantly by approximately 50% as compared to the corresponding period in 2017. Such significant increase was primarily attributable to the combined effect of the following factors: (a) the group had recorded an increase in the sales volume of the multi-storey apartments for the six months ended 30 June 2018 as compared to the corresponding period in 2017, while the average selling price per sq.m. and the gross profit margin for the sale of the multi-storey apartments were also relatively higher; and (b) the finance cost of the Group had significantly been reduced while the investment income and bank interest income generated from the structural products and bank deposits had also significantly been increased as the Group has a larger cash surplus for the six months ended June 30, 2018 as compared to the corresponding period in 2017.
