Excluding the fair value losses of investment properties (net of deferred taxation) of HK$83 million (2019: fair value gains of investment properties (net of deferred taxation) of HK$481 million), underlying net profit attributable to shareholders would be HK$38 million (2019: HK$300 million). The drop in underlying profit was attributable to the decrease in profit contributions generated from the Group’s property sales during the year. Basic loss per share was HK$0.08 (2019: earnings per share of HK$1.42). As at 31 March 2020, the shareholders’ equity amounted to HK$7,722 million (as at 31 March 2019: HK$8,086 million) and net assets per share attributable to shareholders stood at HK$14.01 (2019: HK$14.66). The decrease in shareholder’s equity at year end was mainly due to the net loss attributable to shareholders, together with the translation difference caused by the depreciation of Renminbi against Hong Kong Dollars during the year. Impact of COVID-19 Since early 2020, the outbreak of coronavirus (COVID-19) has caused disruptions to cross-border traffic and business activities, resulting in a negative impact on the Group’s property related businesses and hotel operations. To support our tenants, rental concessions were provided to individual tenants according to their circumstances. Despite the large scale emergency measures implemented by the Chinese and local governments to mitigate the adverse effect on the economy, we foresee that the business environment will remain subdued for the near future. Nonetheless, the overall financial and business positions of the Group remain strong and healthy. The Group will keep abreast of the market situation and adjust its market strategy accordingly. DIVIDEND The Directors recommend the payment of a final dividend of 5 Hong Kong cents per ordinary share for the year ended 31 March 2020 (2019: 5 Hong Kong cents) to shareholders whose names appear on the Company’s register of members on 4 September 2020. Subject to the approval by the shareholders at the forthcoming annual general meeting, the dividend cheques are expected to be despatched to shareholders on or before 28 September 2020.
