China Star Entertainment Ltd. provided consolidated earnings guidance for the six months ended 30 June 2016. For the period, the company expects to record a loss of approximately HKD 30 million to HKD 50 million for the six months ended 30 June 2016 as compared to a profit of HKD 168.52 million for the six months ended 30 June 2015. Loss is mainly attributable to approximately 29% to 33% decrease in the figure of gross profit from HKD 263.78 million in the last corresponding period due to significant decrease in revenue from service income from gaming operations as a result of the recession in gaming industry in Macau; (ii) the recognition of unrealised loss of approximately HKD 13 million arising on change in fair value of financial assets classified as held for trading investments as compared to unrealised gain of HKD 178.17 million recognised in the last corresponding period which represented the decrease in market values of the Group's equity securities listed in Hong Kong as at 30 June 2016 and (iii) the recognition of loss on fair value change of investment properties of approximately HKD 25 million during this period. The effect of such loss for this period is partially offset by approximately 46% to 50% increase in interest income represented in other revenue from HKD 35,825,000 for the last corresponding period.
