ended 31 December 2015 as compared with the profit recorded by the Group for the year ended 31 December 2014. Such substantial increase in profit is mainly attributable to (i) a gain on disposal of available-for-sale investments of approximately HK$37.0 million; (ii) the net gain on financial assets at fair value through profit or loss of approximately HK$662.3 million (which comprised of net unrealised gain and net realised gain of approximately HK$620.0 million and HK$42.3 million respectively) expected to be recorded for the year ended 31 December 2015 as compared with the net gain on financial assets at fair value through profit or loss of approximately HK$279.0 million (which comprised of net unrealised gain and net realised loss of approximately HK$290.8 million and HK$11.8 million respectively) recorded by the Group for the year ended 31 December 2014; and (iii) an increase in profit generated by the Group’s money lending business by over 90% when compared to its results for the year ended 31 December 2014.

The Company considers that the gain from its investment in securities business segment is due primarily to the general upturn of stock market in Hong Kong during the year ended 31 December 2015. In addition, the increase in profit generated by the Group’s money lending business is mainly due to the higher average amount of loans advanced to customers during the year ended 31 December 2015.

The information contained in this announcement is only based on a preliminary assessment by the Board according to the unaudited management accounts of the Group for the year ended 31 December 2015 which have not been confirmed or audited by the Company’s auditor.
