Gold-Finance Holdings Limited provided earnings guidance for the six-month ended September 30, 2016. Based on the preliminary review of the Group's unaudited consolidated management accounts for the six-month period ended 30 September 2016 (the ''Period''), the Group expects that the amount of profit attributable to equity holders of the company for the Period may decrease by approximately 86% as compared to that for the corresponding period in 2015. Such substantial decline is mainly attributable to (i) a lower gross profit margin of the Group as compared to the corresponding period in 2015 due to a one-off project in the public sector which recorded negative gross profit margin resulting from incurrence of additional contract costs such as labor and material costs during the Period; and (ii) an increase in selling and distribution expenses of approximately HKD 4.3 million incurred for marketing purpose during the Period.
