PROFIT WARNING

The Board of the Company would like to further inform the Shareholders and potential investors of the Company that, based on the preliminary review of the unaudited consolidated management accounts of the Group for the six months ended 30 June 2020 (the "Period"), the Group is expected to record a loss attributable to equity holders of the Company of approximately HK$100 million to HK$110 million for the Period as compared to a profit attributable to equity holders of the Company of HK$72 million for the corresponding period last year.

During the Period, following the requirements from local government, all of our restaurants in China had been temporarily closed since late January and reopened gradually from March onwards. In the meantime, the operating hours of some of the restaurants in Hong Kong were adjusted. To cater for the change of the operating environment, we increased our efforts to boost the sales from take-away and home delivery service via the cooperation with the third party e-commerce platforms in Mainland China and Hong Kong. In addition, the Group has taken measures to control rental and other operating cost. Besides, the Group has also applied the subsidy under the first round of Anti-epidemic Fund and the subsidies from the Catering Business (Social Distancing) Subsidy Scheme and Employment Support Scheme under the second round of the Anti-epidemic Fund. The Group has also been actively managing its working capital to ensure the Group remains in a healthy cash position.

In responses to the substantial increase of confirmed cases of COVID-19, the Group decided to suspend the operation of all the restaurants in Hong Kong from 26 July to 4 August 2020. In Mainland China, our restaurants' operating mode and hours have resumed to normal since April 2020.

The information contained in this announcement is only based on the preliminary review of the Group's consolidated management accounts which have not been reviewed or audited by either the audit committee or the auditors of the Company. Therefore, such information is still subject to final review or necessary adjustments. The Company will announce its unaudited interim results for the six months ended 30 June 2020 as soon as practicable in compliance with the Listing Rules.

Shareholders and potential investors of the Company are advised to exercise caution when dealing in the shares of the Company.
