Aurum Pacific (China) Group Limited provided earnings guidance for the year ended December 31, 2018. For the period, the company expected a decrease in the unaudited consolidated loss attributable to owners of the Company as compared with the audited consolidated loss attributable to owners of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2017. The expected decrease in the unaudited consolidated loss attributable to owners of the Company was mainly due to the net effect of a decrease of approximately HKD 17.97 million in the recognition of estimated changes in fair value of contingent consideration assets for business combination relating to the acquisition of 60% equity interest in First Surplus Investments Ltd. and its subsidiaries (the "Acquisition of FS Group") as compared to last year; a decrease of approximately HKD 3.66 million in the recognition of estimated changes in fair value of consideration payable for business combination relating to the Acquisition of FS Group as compared to last year; a decrease of approximately HKD 7.31 million in administrative expenses as compared to last year; and an impairment loss of approximately HKD 24.90 million in goodwill relating to the Acquisition of FS Group. The Board would like to emphasize that the fair value changes for business combination and the impairment loss in goodwill are non-cash items and have no impacts on the Group's daily operations and cash flow.
