Allied Sustainability and Environmental Consultants Group Limited provided earnings guidance for the year ended 31 March 2019. The Group is expected to record a loss of approximately HKD 9.9 million for the year ended 31 March 2019 when compared to the loss of approximately HKD 4.1 million for the year ended 31 March 2018. Such loss was mainly attributable to the increase in cost of services for subcontracting cost of ecology, green building certification, environmental impact monitoring and laboratory testing services for the year ended 31 March 2019 because the Group did not have enough in-house professional staff in these aspects; incurrence of additional administrative expenses primarily attributable to increase of staff welfare and the slight decrease in the total revenue of the Group for the year ended 31 March 2019 due to a slowdown of progress o the projects, keen competition and general decrease in the bidding price in the green building certification consultancy service offset by the improvement in revenue of sustainability and environmental consultancy services, acoustics, noise and vibration control and audio-visual design consultancy services and ESG reporting and consultancy services which was attributable to the substantial progress achieved in the projects in these segments. The financial performance of the Group for the year ended 31 March 2019 was materially and adversely affected by the aforesaid factors, and may or may not be comparable to the financial performance of the Group in the past.
