The board of directors of SRE Group Limited informed the shareholders of the company and potential investors that based on preliminary review of the unaudited consolidated management accounts of the Group, the Group is expected to record a substantial increase in its unaudited net profit and profit attributable to the company's shareholders for the six months ended 30 June 2017 as compared to that for the corresponding period last year, and the unaudited net profit for the reporting period is expected to be RMB 500 to RMB 700 million. The increase was mainly attributable to gains from disposal of part of the Group's investments at a premium during the steady progress towards the Group's strategic positioning as an international financial real estate platform. In addition, there has been a continuous improvement in the overall operating efficiency of the Group during the reporting period.
