Financial Review
The Group's revenue for the year ended 31 March 2020 was $25.53 million, a 6.6% increase from $23.95 million registered in FY2019. The increase in
sales was mainly due to the improved performance of its Taiwan subsidiary.
There was no major fluctuation in gross profit margin for the year ended 31 March 2020.
Other operating income increased by 200%, mainly due to the gain on disposal of the building previously classified as held for sale from the Malaysia
subsidiary, as announced on 1 February 2019.
Distribution costs increased by 6.2% or $0.55 million mainly due to increase in the marketing cost for the e-commerce and online marketing for the Taiwan
subsidiary.
General and administrative expenses decreased by 9.9% or $0.45 million. Administrative expenses were higher in the last financial year due to the high
depreciation expenses arising from the renovations carried out at the various stores of the Taiwan subsidiary. Fewer such renovations were observed in
the current financial year.
The Group's share of results of the associated company decreased by 16.0%, from $4.76 million in FY2019 to $4.00 million in FY2020 due to a decrease in
sales performance of the associated company.

subsidiary during the year.

during the year.

against the depreciation charged during the financial year.
