The board of directors of Sunny Optical Technology (Group) Company Limited informed the shareholders of the company and potential investors of the company that, based on a preliminary assessment on the unaudited consolidated management accounts of the Group for the six months ended 30 June 2017, the Group is expected to record a substantial increase in profit attributable to owners of the company for such six-month period as compared to the profit attributable to owners of the company for the corresponding period in the year 2016. The substantial increase in profit was mainly due to (i) the strong year-on-year increase in the shipment volume of handset lens sets, vehicle lens sets and handset camera modules; and (ii) better product mix reflecting higher average selling prices and better gross margins for handset lens sets and handset camera modules.
