This announcement is made by Hi Sun Technology (China) Limited (the "Company" and 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 and prospective investors of the Company that following preliminary review of the information which includes, but without limitation to, the unaudited management accounts of the Group for the eleven months ended 30 November 2019, which have not been audited or reviewed by the auditors of the Company and other information currently available to the Board, the Group is expected to record a significant increase in operating profit for the year ending 31 December 2019 ("YEAR 2019") as compared to the operating profit of approximately HK$258.5 million for the year ended 31 December 2018 ("YEAR 2018"). This is primarily attributable to (i) the absence of share option expenses of approximately HK$195.3 million recorded in YEAR 2018 under the payment processing solutions segment attributable to the share options granted by a subsidiary of the Company in February 2018; and (ii) the growth of the payment processing solutions segment in YEAR 2019.

Please note that the Company is still in the process of evaluating the fair value of the Group's financial assets at fair value through profit or loss as at 31 December 2019, including but not limited to investment in unlisted convertible preference shares outside Hong Kong which amounted to HK$141.9 million as at 31 December 2018, investment in unlisted investment fund outside Hong Kong which amounted to HK$129.9 million as at 31 December 2018 and the put option liability of approximately HK$676.3 million arising from the put option granted in respect of the shares of a subsidiary of the Company and recognised at its inception on 12 November 2019.

The Board expects that the announcement of the consolidated results of the Group for YEAR 2019 will be published in March 2020.
