PROFIT WARNING

This announcement is made by MediNet Group Limited (the "Company" and together with its subsidiaries, the "Group") pursuant to Rule 17.10 of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on the Growth Enterprise Market ("GEM") of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the "GEM Listing Rules") and the Inside Information Provisions 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 wishes to inform the shareholders of the Company (the "Shareholders") and potential investors that, based on the information currently available to the Board and the preliminary review and assessment on the Group's unaudited consolidated management accounts for the six months ended 30 September 2017, the Board expects that whilst there will be a slight increase in revenue of the Group during the six months period ended 30 September 2017 ("Current Period") as compared to that for the corresponding period of 2016, the Group may record a substantial increase in its consolidated net loss for the Current Period by approximately HK$2.8 million. For the six months ended 30 September 2016, the Company also recorded a consolidated net loss in the amount of approximately HK$2.5 million, which had included non-recurring listing expenses of approximately HK$4.2 million.

The Board considered that, the substantial increase in the consolidated net loss of the Group for the Current Period is mainly attributable to the following reasons:

(i) the Group incurred additional costs and initial start-up expenses during the Current Period on the development of its PRC business; the Group's PRC business is currently in development phase and has not generated any revenue;

(ii) increase in staff costs and other operating expenses to support the Group's expansion and business development in Hong Kong; and

(iii) increase in rental expenses as the Group entered into a new tenancy agreement for its medical centre in Central and the relocation of its dental clinic to a grade A building in Causeway Bay during the Current Period with higher rental costs.
