POSITIVE PROFIT ALERT

This announcement is made by Bright Smart Securities & Commodities Group Limited (the “ Company ”, together with its subsidiaries, the “ Group ”) pursuant to Rule 13.09(2) of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the “ Listing Rules ”) and the Inside Information Provisions (as defined under the Listing Rules) under Part XIVA of the Securities and Futures Ordinance (Chapter 571 of the Laws of Hong Kong).

The board (the “ Board ”) of directors (the “ Directors ”) of the Company is pleased to inform its shareholders (the “ Shareholders ”) and potential investors of the Company that, based on a preliminary review of the unaudited financial information of the Group, the unaudited consolidated total comprehensive income of the Group for the year ended 31 March 2016 was approximately HK$342 million (comprising of consolidated net profit of approximately HK$327 million and revaluation gain of securities investment of approximately HK$15 million), representing a significant increase of approximately 57% as compared to the prior year ended 31 March 2015, of which the audited consolidated total comprehensive income and net profit was approximately HK$218 million.

Based on the information presently available, the Board considers that the Group’s remarkable performance during the year ended 31 March 2016 was mainly attributable to the significant increase in commission income from securities brokerage and interest income from margin financing after the launch of Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect which boosted market sentiment and turnover significantly. The Group’s well established branch network, numerous varieties of investment products, extensive marketing promotion strategies as well as its good reputation had also contributed to the solid growth of its clientele and market share.
