The reason of the increase (decrease) in the sales/ revenues during the current year compared to the last year Sales decreased this year compared to the previous year by 13.96%, mainly due to a decrease in ink sector sales caused by the cancellation of the HP brand distribution agreement.
The reason of the increase (decrease) in the net profit during the current year compared to the last year is Net profit increased this year compared to the previous year by 59.22% despite the decrease in sales and the increase in operating expenses. This is due to: –
