SUPPLEMENTAL ANNOUNCEMENT

PROFIT WARNING

This announcement is made by Morris Holdings Limited (the "Company", together with its subsidiaries, the "Group") pursuant to Rule 13.09(2)(a) of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the "Listing Rules") and the Inside Information Provisions under Part XIVA of the Securities and Futures Ordinance (Cap. 571 of the Laws of Hong Kong).

Reference is made to the Company's profit warning announcement dated 6 March 2020 (the "Announcement"). Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalised terms used in this announcement shall have the same meanings as those defined in the Announcement.

The Board wishes to provide further information to the Shareholders and potential investors that, based on a further review on the unaudited consolidated management accounts for the year ended 31 December 2019 of the Group and the information currently available to the Company, the Group expects to record a loss of approximately RMB120 million attributable to the Shareholders for the year ended 31 December 2019 as compared to a profit of approximately RMB86 million attributable to the Shareholders for the year ended 31 December 2018. The turnaround from profit to a loss is primarily due to an approximate 35% decline in sales revenue of the Group as a result of the US-China trade tensions that have dampened consumer sentiment and continuing uncertainties in the international trade environment.
