Tai United Holdings Limited provided Group earnings guidance for the six months ended 30 June 2018. For the period, the Group is expected to incur a substantial loss for the six months ended 30 June 2018 (as compared to the unaudited consolidated profit of the Company attributable to shareholders for the six months ended 30 June 2017 of approximately HKD 536.6 million) and such substantial loss was principally attributed to the combined effect of (i) the substantial losses arising on fair value changes on trading securities included in the Group's securities investment segment; (ii) the substantial decrease in profit contribution in the Group's distressed debt asset management segment; and (iii) the decrease in rental income due to the disposal of investment properties in the United Kingdom in September 2017, and exchange losses are recorded due to the depreciation in RMB in the six months of 2018 Period. The losses arising on fair value changes on trading securities were unrealised losses and were non-cash in nature.
