Strong Petrochemical Holdings Limited informed the Shareholders and potential investors that based on the information currently available from the Group's management accounts (which have not been audited by the auditor of the Company), it is expected that the Group will record a profit attributable to owners of the Company of not less than HKD 90.0 million for the year ended 31 December 2019 as compared to the profit attributable to owners of the Company of HKD 7.5 million for the year ended 31 December 2018. Such increase is primarily attributable to the gain from the trading of crude oil and oil product related derivative financial instruments for hedging purpose, and the increase in gross profit margin, which was partially offset by the decrease in net gains on changes in fair value under provisional pricing arrangements, the increase of impairment losses, and the decrease in penalty interest income.
