According to the announcement, the decline in earnings was due to the outbreak of the Omicron variant virus strain in China and corresponding control measures and restrictions, which not only affected the sales and delivery activities of the environmental products business division during the period, but also caused delays in the engineering, production and procurement activities of some of the Group's customers, causing the revenue of the environmental products business segment to fall 42% from HK$16.12 million in the previous period to HK$9.373 million for the current period.
