Tomson Group Limited provided preliminary consolidated earnings outlook for the year ended December 31, 2016. For the period, the company expects to record a substantial increase of approximately 60% in its profit after tax as compared with that of HKD 625 million for the corresponding period in 2015. Such expected increase in the profit after tax is mainly attributable to an increase in proceeds from sale of the Group's properties in the mainland and Macau Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China (the "PRC") that could be recognized during the year under review. In addition, it is expected that an increase in the amount of unrealized revaluation surplus on investment properties of the Group in the mainland of the PRC arising from a market valuation at the end of the year under review pursuant to the applicable accounting standards will be recorded.
