The board of directors of Huarong Investment Stock Corporation Limited informed the shareholders of the company and potential investors that, based on a review of the Group's unaudited consolidated management accounts for the six months ended 30 June 2017 and all information currently available to the Board, the Group is expected to record an increment of not less than 200% in net profit for the Interim Period, as compared with that for the six months ended 30 September 2016. Such increment was mainly attributable to the increase in return of the Group's business segments of direct investments and financial services.
