Aurum Pacific (China) Group Limited provided earnings guidance for the first nine months ended September 30, 2015. The board of directors of the company informed the shareholders of the company and potential investors that, based on the information currently available to the board and the preliminary review on the unaudited consolidated management accounts of the group for the nine months ended 30 September 2015, despite of the expected increase in turnover and gross profit from continuing operations, the group is expected to record the loss attributable to owners of the company in the range of approximately HKD 13 million to HKD 14 million for the nine months ended 30 September 2015 as compared to the loss attributable to owners of the company of approximately HKD 2.6 million for the nine months ended 30 September 2014. The board believed that the aforesaid loss was mainly attributable to the increase in administrative expenses (including the legal and professional fees, amortisation of the intangible assets and the staff costs) for the nine months ended 30 September 2015 as compared to that for the nine months ended 30 September 2014.
