Karin Technology
Electronic and industrial components firm Karin Technology suffered a huge hit to its profits as stiff competition for consumer electronic products ate away at the margins.

Revenue sank 31 per cent to HK$2.23 billion while earnings per share also fell to 6.4 HK cents, down from 29.4 HK cents a year earlier. Net asset value stood at 315.9 HK cents.

Moreover, the increase in the number of Apple flagship stores in Hong Kong negatively impacted our retail stores' business during the year."
The firm's share price was unchanged at 27 cents yesterday.
