The board of directors of Cinda International Holdings Limited informed the shareholders of the company and potential investors that, based on the preliminary review of the management accounts of the group for the six months ended 30 June 2016, the consolidated profit after tax attributable to equity holders of the Company for the six months ended 30 June 2016 is expected to decrease approximately 75% as compared with the corresponding period in 2015 of HKD 57,094,000. Such decrease is mainly due to decrease in the revenue from the brokerage and corporate finance business which is in line with the setback in the investment market sentiment and significant decrease in results shared from the associated companies as a result of fair value losses on certain financial assets during the period.
