For the six months ended 30 June 2021, the Group recorded income of approximately HK $77 million from overseas customers (for the six months ended 30 June 2020: approximately HK $135 million). The significant decrease in overseas sales was mainly due to the following effects: (I) China's economy slowed down due to the continuing 2019-nCoV pneumonia epidemic; and (ii) during the COVID-19 epidemic, shipping costs soared and parking time prolonged, resulting in increased shipping costs, adversely affecting overseas sales orders.
