The board of directors of WLS Holdings Limited announced that it is expected that the Group will record a significant increase in loss for the nine months ended 31 January 2018 as compared to that of the nine months ended 31 January 2017. The Board believes that such increase in loss is mainly attributable to the fair value loss on the Group's financial assets at fair value through profit or loss of approximately HKD 59.3 million (nine months ended 31 January 2017: loss of approximately HKD 19.9 million); and the realised loss of one of the available-for-sale investments of approximately HKD 19.8 million (nine months ended 31 January 2017: Nil) incurred, during the nine months ended 31 January 2018.
