APAC Resources Limited provided earnings guidance for the six months ended 31 December 2018. The interim results of the Group for the first half 2019 period are expected to record a loss attributable to the Shareholders as compared to the profit attributable to the shareholders of approximately HKD 478 million for the six months ended 31 December 2017. The expected loss attributable to the Shareholders for the first half 2019 Period is mainly attributable to (i) the unrealised fair value losses recognised in respect of the Group's listed and unlisted equity securities (which were previously classified as available-for-sale investments); and (ii) the losses incurred for the resource investment segment primarily due to the downturn of global stock market in the second half of 2018 and uncertainty around China/US trade talk resolution.
