Based on preliminary review by the board of directors of Zebra Strategic Holdings Limited of the unaudited consolidated management accounts of the Group, the Board inform's the shareholders of the Company and potential investors that it is anticipated that the Company may record a significant decrease in net profit for the nine months ended December 30, 2013 as compared to that of the corresponding period in 2012. Based on the relevant information currently available to the Company, the Board considers that such decrease in net profit was mainly due to (i) a decrease in the Group's revenue from its executive/staff search services as a result of the economic slowdown in the banking sector; (ii) a decrease in the Group's revenue from other human resources support services; and (iii) an increase in staff cost during the first nine months of the current financial year.
