EPI (Holdings) Limitede reported earnings guidance for the year ended December 31, 2017. The board of directors of the company announced that the Group expects to record an increase in loss attributable to owners of the Company as compared to the loss of approximately HKD 31.1 million for the year ended 31 December 2016. Such expected increase in loss was mainly due to the recognition of loss in the net fair value changes on convertible notes and the share-based payments expense, which were both non-cash in nature, recorded in relation to the issuance of the convertible notes and the grant of share options referred to in the Company's announcements dated 26 April 2017 and 4 May 2017 respectively, despite the expected profitable results to be reported by the group's money lending and investment in securities businesses.
