The telecommunications-system integrator's results were slightly higher than the HK$36 million earning forecast stated in its prospectus.

Turnover dropped 11 per cent from a year earlier to HK$96.8 million.

Randy Hung King-kuen, chief financial officer, attributed the turnover decline to restructuring in the mainland's telecoms industry.

'Total capital investment in telecoms infrastructure dropped 8.7 per cent in the last year,' he said. 'This affected our sales.' Gross profit improved 48 per cent to HK$72.8 million due to cost-saving measures.
