VOLUNTARY ANNOUNCEMENT

This announcement is made by the board of directors (the "Board") of Kowloon Development Company Limited (the "Company" 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 Inside Information Provisions under Part XIVA of the Securities and Futures Ordinance (Cap. 571 of the Laws of Hong Kong).

The Board of the Company wishes to inform the shareholders of the Company and potential investors that, based on a preliminary review of the draft unaudited consolidated management accounts of the Group for the year ended 31 December 2019 and, despite the likely substantial decrease in profit attributable to shareholders of Polytec Asset Holdings Limited (Stock Code: 208), a 70.8%-owned listed subsidiary of the Company, the Group is expected to record a slight increase in profit attributable to shareholders of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2019 as compared to that for 2018.

The Company is still in the process of finalising the annual results of the Group for the year ended 31 December 2019. The information contained in this announcement is only based on the preliminary assessment by the Board of the Company with reference to the draft unaudited consolidated management accounts of the Group for the year ended 31 December 2019 and other information currently available to the Group which have not been reviewed or audited by the auditor of the Company. The annual results of the Group for the year ended 31 December 2019 are expected to be released in late March 2020.

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