Casablanca Group Limited announced that based on the preliminary review of the unaudited consolidated management accounts of the Group for the five months ended May 31, 2013 and the management's estimate, the unaudited consolidated profit attributable to the Shareholders for the six months ending June 30, 2013 is expected to decrease significantly as compared to that for the corresponding period in 2012. Based on the information currently available, the decrease in the unaudited consolidated profit attributable to the Shareholders was mainly attributable to (i) the increase in concessionaire commissions on self-operated retail counters; (ii) the increase in staff costs; and (iii) the expenses of share-based payment for Pre-IPO share options granted.
