Rentian Technology Holdings Limited provided earnings guidance for the six months ended 30 June 2019. For the period, the Group expects to record a substantial increase in consolidated net loss for the six months ended 30 June 2019 as compared to the consolidated net loss for the corresponding period in 2018. The Board believes that the substantial increase in the consolidated net loss is primarily attributable to the combined net effect of: the net realized loss on disposal of securities previously invested in year 2018, which was classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss of approximately HKD 767 million, as compared to the net realized gain on disposal of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss of approximately HKD 32 million for the six months ended 30 June 2018; dividend and interest income from financial assets at fair value through profit or loss of approximately HKD 13 million (six months ended 30 June 2018: approximately HKD 49 million).
