The board of directors of the Company (the "Board") wishes to inform the shareholders of the Company and potential investors that based on information currently available to the Company, it is estimated that the Group would record a net fair value gain on financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss of approximately HK$132 million for the nine months ended 31 December 2020 (the "Period"), as compared to a fair value loss of approximately HK$171 million for the year ended 31 March 2020.

Based on information currently available to the Company, the Board estimates that the Group is likely to record a consolidated loss attributable to equity holders of the Company of approximately HK$675 million for the Period, as compared to a loss of approximately HK$10 million for the year ended 31 March 2020. Such loss was largely due to fair value losses on investment properties, operating loss due to COVID-19 pandemic and share of loss of joint ventures (details of which were disclosed in the announcement of the Company dated 24 February 2021) while partially offset by the gain on disposal by the Group of a joint venture and net fair value gain on financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss during the Period.
