PROFIT WARNING

This announcement is made by Lap Kei Engineering (Holdings) 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 of directors of the Company (the ‘‘Board’’) wishes to inform the shareholders of the Company and potential investors that, based on the preliminary review on the unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Group for the six months ended 30 June 2021 (‘‘Interim 2021’’), it is expected that the Group will record a loss attributable to owners of the Company for Interim 2021 within a range of approximately HK$2.5 million to HK$4.5 million. As compared to a loss attributable to owners of the Company of HK$2.1 million for the six months ended 30 June 2020, the Group is expected to record a increase in the loss attributable to owners of the Company for Interim 2021. The expected increase in the loss for Interim 2021 is primarily attributable to the intensive market competition. The Group offered competitive tender price to maintain its market share, which resulted in the decrease in gross profit margin for the Group’s building services engineering work segment and increase in net loss.

The Company is still in the process of finalising the interim results of the Group for Interim 2021. The information contained in this announcement is only based on the preliminary review on the unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Group, which have not been reviewed or audited by the Company’s auditor or reviewed by the audit committee of the Company and are subject to adjustment. The actual interim results of the Group for Interim 2021 may be different from what is disclosed in this announcement. Shareholders of the Company and potential investors are advised to read carefully the interim results announcement of the Company for Interim 2021, which is expected to be published on 30 August 2021 in accordance with the Listing Rules.
