Ying Kee Tea House Group Limited provided consolidated earnings guidance for the six months ended September 30, 2019. For the six months, the company expected that the Group will incur a net loss for the six months ended 30 September 2019 amounting to approximately HKD 6 million. Based on the information currently available to the Board, the expected loss was mainly due to the recent continuous social incidents from June to September which led to the loss of sales caused by, among others, the shortening of business hours and abrupt closure of business for some shops and concessionary counters and the diminishing number of customers to shop, especially during weekends. Other factors involve the opening of a retail beverage shop and the increase in rental expenses upon renewal of leases for the six months ended September 30, 2019 relative to the corresponding period ended September 30, 2018.
