The board of directors of the Capital VC Limited announced that the Group is expected to record an increase in loss for the six months ended 31 March 2018, as compared to the unaudited consolidated loss for the six months ended 31 March 2017. Based on the preliminary assessment of the Group's unaudited management accounts for the Interim Period and information currently available to the Board, the expected increase in loss for the Interim Period was primarily attributable to the significant increase in loss on the Group's listed investments for the Interim Period, as compared to that for the six months ended 31 March 2017.
