Hi Sun Technology (China) Limited provided earnings guidance for the six months ending June 30, 2018. The Group is expected to record a significant decline in operating profit or even an operating loss for the six months ending 30 June 2018 as compared to the operating profit of approximately HKD 138.2 million for the corresponding period of 2017. This is primarily attributable to (i) the share option expenses of approximately HKD 195.3 million under the payment processing solutions segment attributable to the share options granted by a subsidiary of the Company in February 2018; and (ii) the absence of an one-off gain of approximately HKD 63.3 million recorded in the corresponding period of 2017 resulting from the disposal of a subsidiary of the Company.
