The board of directors of Softpower International Limited announced that, based on the preliminary assessment of the unaudited consolidated management accounts of the Group for the year ended 31 December 2016, it is expected that the Group may record a significant increase in net profit for the year ended 31 December 2016 as compared to the year ended 31 December 2015. Such increase was primarily attributable to the favorable construction market conditions in Hong Kong in 2016 and other finance income.
