Despite the uncertainties presented during the pandemic, the Group reported relatively stable revenue and profits for FY2021 as compared FY2020, largely due to an unexpected rebound in customer demand in the second half of FY2021.

ICE revenue increased by 11.3% from HK$1,438.4 million in FY2020 to HK$1,600.8 million. The surge in demand for logistics and e-commerce benefited several key customers during COVID- 19 pandemic lockdowns. The prolonged COVID-19 pandemic also caused a delay in the schedule of a customer in the auto industry with regard to its production switch-over from the Group's China factory to another vendor in North America, which led to continued orders from that customer in FY2021.

CE revenue decreased by 25.7% to HK$680.7 million from HK$916.0 million in FY2020 and the significant drop was due to a key customer experiencing weak demand as a direct result of reduced activity caused by social distancing and COVID-19 containment measures, and its schedule production switch-over from the Group's China factory to another vendor in an ASEAN country.

The Group's other income decreased by 25.4% to HK$18.4 million, mainly due to the decrease in interest income, which was offset by an increase in net exchange gains. In FY2021, administrative expenses slightly decreased by 0.5% to HK$163.3 million, while selling and distribution expenses increased by 21.4% to HK$32.0 million (FY2020: HK$26.3 million) mainly due to an increase in product warranty expenses.
