The group expects that the amount of profit attributable to equity holders of the company for the Period may decrease by approximately HKD 20 million as compared to that for the corresponding period in 2016. Such substantial decline is mainly attributable to a lower gross profit margin of the Group as compared to the corresponding period in 2016 due to a one-off building services project in the public sector which recorded negative gross profit margin resulting from incurrence of additional contract costs such as labor and material costs during the Period; an increase in selling and distribution expenses of approximately HKD 5.6 million incurred for marketing purpose during the Period and non-cash outflow share option expenses of approximately HKD 3.4 million incurred during the Period.
