PROFIT WARNING

This announcement is made by Travel Expert (Asia) Enterprises Limited (the "Company", together with its subsidiaries, the "Group") pursuant to Rule 13.09 of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited and the Inside Information Provisions under Part XIVA of the Securities and Futures Ordinance (Chapter 571, Laws of Hong Kong).

The board of directors (the "Board") of the Company wishes to inform the shareholders of the Company and potential investors that, based on the preliminary assessment of the currently available information, it is expected that the results of the Group for the six months ended 30 September 2020 (the "Period") will decline significantly as compared to the corresponding period last year.

The decline in results is mainly due to the outbreak of Coronavirus Disease 2019 ("COVID-19"). In response to the unpredictable circumstances evolving from the global outbreak of COVID-19, governments around the world introduced stringent travel restrictions. This unprecedented challenge caused a significant decrease in the Group's revenue and adversely impacted on the Group's financial performance for the Period. Despite the above, the Group's management is actively taking measures to reduce losses, including but not limited to downsizing the branch network, reducing staff costs and negotiating with landlords for rental reduction. The Board is of the view that the Group has sufficient working capital to finance its operations.

The information contained in this announcement is only based on the preliminary assessment by the management of the Company according to the unaudited consolidated management accounts of the Group and the information currently available, which have not been finalized and reviewed by the Company's independent auditor and audit committee. It is expected

that the interim results announcement of the Group for the Period will be published by the Company before the end of November 2020.

Shareholders of the Company and potential investors should exercise caution when dealing in the shares of the Company.
