Q Technology (Group) Company Limited provided consolidated earnings guidance for the six months ending 30 June 2018. The board of directors of the company informed the shareholders of the company and potential investors that, based on the preliminary review by the board on the unaudited management accounts of the group for the four months ended 30 April 2018, which have not been reviewed or audited by the independent auditors and/or the audit committee, and taking into consideration the sales and shipping plan of the Group for May and June 2018 and the information currently available to the Board, it is expected that the Group's consolidated profit attributable to the Shareholders before tax for the six months ending 30 June 2018 may decrease by approximately 50% or more as compared with that of the corresponding period of the previous year.
