Ban Loong Holdings Limited provided group earnings guidance for the six months ended September 30, 2016. For the six months, the company announced that based on the information currently available to the management of the company and the preliminary review of the group's unaudited consolidated management accounts for the six months ended 30 September 2016, the unaudited consolidated net loss after tax of the group for the six months ended 30 September 2016 is expected to show an approximately 80% decrease as compared to the unaudited consolidated net loss of the Group for the corresponding period in 2015. The expected decrease in net loss after tax is mainly attributable to the increase in the profit contribution from the Group's money lending business during the first half of 2016, and the first half of 2016 results were no longer affected by the loss and amortization of intangible assets from the discontinued operations of the encryption technology products business which was already disposed of by the Group in March 2016. As the group's interim results for the first half of 2016 have not yet been finalized, the information contained in this announcement is only based on the information currently available and preliminary review on the management accounts, which have not been reviewed or audited by the auditors of the company.
