Hop Hing Group Holdings Limited provided consolidated earnings guidance for the six months ended June 30, 2015. The Group is expected to record an increase of not less than 30% in its consolidated profit attributable to the shareholders of the company for the six months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to that for the first half of 2014. The expected increase in the consolidated profit attributable to the shareholders of the company is mainly because: Much of the provision for certain stores that did not meet internal profitability requirements and that would be closed in the near future was made in 2014 and in the first half of 2014, the Group recorded a currency exchange loss as a result of the depreciation of the Renminbi in the relevant period.

As the exchange rates of Renminbi were relatively stable in the period under review, no currency exchange loss was recorded in the first half of 2015.
