HONG KONG, Aug. 15, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- BAIOO Family Interactive Limited ("BAIOO" or the "Company"; stock code: 2100), China's largest online entertainment destination designed for children, provided the following explanation about the impact on its 2014 First Half Results of the existence of its convertible redeemable preferred shares until April 10, 2014.
In its Announcement published on August 14, 2014, the Company, under IFRS accounting standards, reported a fair value loss of RMB327.7 million on its convertible redeemable preferred shares for the six months ended 30 June 2014 due to the continued increase in the equity value of the Company.
After the Company's IPO on April 10, 2014, the convertible redeemable preferred shares were converted into common shares of the Company and ceased to exist.
As a result, from this date on, the need to record adjustments for gain(s) or loss(es) in fair value has ceased to exist and no such adjustment will impact the Company's results for the second half of 2014.
This is why the Company has chosen to focus on its adjusted net profit (up 20.7% year over year) as management believes it better reflects the fundamental performance of the business, currently and going forward.
Fair value Loss of convertible redeemable preferred shares does not result in any forms of cash payment or payable to any parties.
