The United Laboratories International Holdings Limited provided earnings guidance for the six months ended June 30, 2015. For the period, the group is expected to record a substantial decrease in profit to not less than approximately HKD 250,000,000, while the net profit for the six months ended 30 June 2014 is approximately HKD 710,000,000. The decrease in profit is mainly attributable to: One-off subsidy income from the local government of approximately HKD 390,000,000 was received during the corresponding period in last year but there is no such income during current period; and the fair value of the investment properties in Chengdu decreased as at 30 June 2015 compared with last year as the real estate market in China continued to be sluggish during the period.
