BUSINESS UPDATE AND

PROFIT WARNING

This announcement is made by Solis Holdings Limited (the ''Company'', together with its subsidiaries, the ''Group'') pursuant to Rule 13.09(2) of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the ''Listing Rules'') and the Inside Information Provisions (as defined under the Listing Rules) under Part XIVA of the Securities and Futures Ordinance (Chapter 571 of Laws of Hong Kong).

Business Update

The board (the ''Board'') of directors (the ''Directors'') of the Company is pleased to announce that the Group has recently been awarded a new project for a total contract sum of approximately S$6.8 million. The awarded project has commenced in July 2019 and is expected to be completed within 24 months from date of commencement.

The Group is still active in submitting tenders despite the construction market sentiment in Singapore being subdued since the start of 2018. As at the date of this announcement, there are ongoing tenders in aggregate amounting to approximately S$710.1 million which the Group is negotiating and closely monitoring. Further announcement(s) will be made by the Company on a voluntary basis to keep the shareholders of the Company informed if any of the submitted tenders materialise.

Profit Warning

The Board of Directors of the Company wishes to inform the potential investors and shareholders of the Company (the ''Shareholders'') that, based on the preliminary review on the unaudited consolidated management accounts of the Group and information currently available to the Board, the

Group is expected to record a net loss after tax of not more than S$1.0 million for the six months ended 30 June 2019 (the ''Interim Period'') as compared to a net profit after tax of S$1.2 million for the six months ended 30 June 2018.

Such decrease were mainly due to lull in securing new tenders since the start of 2018 due to keen market competition; and increase in subcontracting costs for an approximate amount of S$1.1 million for the Interim Period as compared to the six months ended 30 June 2018.

The above information is only a preliminary assessment based on the unaudited consolidated management accounts of the Group for the Interim Period currently available to the Company, which may be subject to further adjustment after further review by the Board, review by the Company's audit committee and the Company's auditors. Details of the financial information of the Group will be disclosed in the interim results announcement of the Group for the Interim Period, which is expected to be published on or about 23 August 2019.

Shareholders and potential investors are advised to exercise caution when dealing in the shares of the Company.
