Sparkle Roll Group Limited provided earnings guidance for the year ended March 31, 2019. For the year, the company expects to record a substantial decrease in the net profit as compared with a net profit of approximately HKD 667 million for the year ended 31 March 2018. Such expected substantial decrease in the net profit was mainly attributable to the following factors: the absence of the one-off gain on deemed disposal of investment in an associate of approximately HKD 586 million recorded in the year ended 31 March 2018 due to the change in the classification of this investment from an associate to the available-for-sale investment in that year, as disclosed in the announcement of the Company dated 15 January 2018 and the Company's annual report for the year ended 31 March 2018. The effect of such increase in the expenses on the net profit for the Company was partially offset by the decrease in the rental expenses of the Group and the increase in the revenue and gross profit of the Group of approximately 29% and 39% respectively for the year ended 31 March 2019 as compared with those recorded in the last financial year. Such increase in the revenue and gross profit of the Group was mainly contributed by the auto business of the Group.
