PROFIT WARNING

This announcement is made by Hands Form Holdings Limited (the "Company", together with its subsidiaries, the "Group") pursuant to Rule 13.09(2) of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the "Listing Rules") and the Inside Information Provisions (as defined under the Listing Rules) under Part XIVA of the Securities and Futures Ordinance (Chapter 571 of the Laws of Hong Kong).

The board (the "Board") of directors (the "Directors") of the Company wishes to inform the shareholders of the Company (the "Shareholders") and potential investors that, based on a preliminary review of the unaudited consolidated management accounts of the Group for the six months ended 30 June 2020 and the information currently made available to the Board, the Group expects to record a consolidated net profit within the range of approximately HK$10.0 million to HK$12.0 million for the six months ended 30 June 2020 as compared to consolidated net profit of approximately HK$16.3 million of the corresponding period in 2019. Based on the information currently available, the decrease in net profit would be mainly attributable to the following factors:

  1. the decrease in revenue due to substantial completion of the projects on hand during the six months ended 30 June 2020; and
  2. the decrease in gross profit margin for the Group's business as a result of an increase in overall construction costs. The delay in site progress due to the outbreak of Novel
    Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) has resulted in an increase in subcontracting costs owing to the prolonged need for maintaining the required site workforce.
