Such decrease was primarily attributable tothe intense market competition lead to smaller number of successfultenders and lower value of contracts awarded during the Year. Theconstruction information technology services contribute HK$366,000for the Year. The gross loss of approximately HK$21.5 million reportedfor the Year was mainly due to (i) competitive project pricing arisingfrom intense market competition; (ii) delay in certification of worksperformed of certain projects; and (iii) increase in direct costs from (a)additional subcontractors, resources and other costs related to deal withunexpected changes to the on-site arrangements initiated by customers;and (b) delays in certain projects (mainly for projects at Tai Wai). Thegross loss margin was in the similar level in both years.
