The board of directors of Hi Sun Technology (China) Limited announced that unaudited management accounts of the Group for the year ended 31 December 2018 which have not been audited by the auditors of the Company and other information currently available to the Group, the Group is expected to record a significant increase in revenue for YEAR 2018 as compared to the revenue of HKD 2,910.0 million for the year ended 31 December 2017. Such significant increase was mainly attributable to the continued strong growth of the payment processing solutions segment in YEAR 2018. However, it is expected that there would not be a proportionate increase in operating profit, or even a decrease in operating profit of the Group for year 2018 which was primarily due to (i) the share option expenses of approximately HKD 195.3 million under the payment processing solutions segment attributable to the share options granted by a subsidiary of the company in February 2018; and (ii) the absence of a one-off gain of approximately HKD 63.3 million recorded in year 2017 resulting from the disposal of subsidiaries of the company.
