Together with a fair value gain on investment funds/debt securities, but offset by the net loss on disposal of some debt securities, the Group’s other net income in 2020 was HK$6.1 million, compared to HK$1.6 million recorded in 2019. In regard to costs, without the hefty cost of purchase for the goods supplied for our major customer in 2019, and thanks to the reduction in the other operating expenses in 2020 compared to 2019, our total operating costs fell from HK$252.6 million in 2019 to HK$185.1 million in 2020, reflecting a decrease of 26.7% or HK$67.5 million. As a result, the Group’s operating profit of HK$92.7 million in 2020 represented a drop of 8.4% or HK$8.5 million from HK$101.2 million in 2019. This was a substantial improvement on the 18.5% drop in operating profit noted in our interim results. Due to the unfavorable business outlook of our major PRC associate, on a prudence basis, we decided to make a further provision of HK$4.6 million in the second half of 2020 to write down part of our investment in that PRC associate. This was in addition to the write down provision of HK$4.5 million and HK$4.4 million made in the second half of 2019 and first half of 2020 respectively. With a total write down amount of HK$9.0 million in 2020, the net increase was HK$4.5 million compared to 2019. Together with our share of losses from the results of the associates, the Group’s profit before tax for 2020 was HK$82.4 million, compared to the pre-tax profit of HK$96.2 million for 2019. This reflects a drop of 14.4%, which again has improved over a 39.3% drop recorded in the 2020 interim results. Taking into account the recognition of the deferred tax charge arising from utilization of the unused tax losses of Digital Trade and Transportation Network Limited (“DTTNCo”) for the very last time and the enhanced tax deductions for certain expenses incurred in relation to our research and development activities, the Group’s after tax profit for 2020 was HK$72.8 million, down 11.4% from HK$82.2 million for 2019 and significantly improved over the 41.0% drop for the first half of 2020.
