PROFIT WARNING
This announcement is made by Unitas Holdings Limited (the “ Company ”, together with its subsidiaries, the “ Group ”) pursuant to Rule 17.10 of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on the GEM of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the “ GEM Listing Rules ”) and the Inside Information Provisions (as defined under the GEM Listing Rules) under Part XIVA of the Securities and Futures Ordinance (Chapter 571, 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, the Group is expected to record a loss after tax for the three months ended 30 June 2019 of approximately HK$1.8 million as compared to a net profit after tax for the three months ended 30 June 2018 of approximately HK$989,000.
Based on the information currently available to the Board, such expected loss was mainly attributable to (i) the decrease in revenue of the Group’s dry bulk shipping business as well as the corporate finance advisory business; and (ii) the decrease in profit margin of the Group’s dry bulk shipping business.
As the Company is still in the process of finalizing the results for the three months ended 30 June 2019 (the “ First Quarterly Results 2019 ”), the information contained in this announcement is only based on the Board’s preliminary assessment of the unaudited consolidated management accounts of the Group for the three months ended 30 June 2019 which have not been finalised nor reviewed by the audit committee and audited by the auditor. The announcement of the First Quarterly Results 2019 of the Group is expected to be released on 14 August 2019.
