Herald (HKG:0114) expects an attributable profit of between HK$42 million and HK$47 million for the six months ended Sept. 30, up from HK$27.2 million a year prior, a Tuesday Hong Kong bourse filing said.

The toy manufacturer attributed the forecast to net realized and unrealized gains on trading securities and a one-off post-tax gain from the disposal of two pieces of lands in Shanghai.
