The technology solution business driven by blockchain technology developed rapidly. At present, Win Techno Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, provides high-quality customised services to global customers in blockchain, virtual assets, fintech, big data as well as other innovative technology sectors. For the FY2020, the revenue of the business was HK$34.2 million, an increase of HK$31.8 million over the same period last year, accounting for 12.4% of the Group's total revenue (only 6.5% recorded as of 31 March 2020). And the gross profit and gross profit margin achieved an outstanding performance. The gross profit of was HK$25.6 million, corresponding to the explosive growth of gross profit margin to 74.8% of the business in FY2020. Due to the limited impact from the external environment and its high gross profit rate, the Group intends to leverage the large customer base from its controlling shareholders and affiliates in the blockchain, virtual assets and fintech to vigorously develop this business sector. The Group believes it will maintain steady growth in the future.

Due to the outbreak and widespread of the COVID-19 and continuous escalation of China-US trade tension, the revenue of the Group from power-related & electrical/electronic product businesses decreased by 21.8% as compared with that for FY2019 to HK$242.3 million for FY2020. However, the management promptly adjusted sales strategies, including a focus on the high-margin product. The strategies improved gross profit and offset the decrease in sales due to weak demand from major clients. Meanwhile, in line with the revenue, the cost of sales has reduced due to the decrease in copper cost.

On 31 July 2020, Securities and Futures Commission has approved Huobi Asset Management (Hong Kong) Limited, an indirectly wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, to conduct Type 4 (advising on securities) and Type 9 (asset management) regulated activities.
