Revenue in the six months to June had risen 3.5 percent to 89 million Hong Kong dollars from 86 million dollars in the six months to June 2007.

"The slow down in turnover growth reflects the worsening of economic condition in the country which has led to a significant reduction in tariff and underlying customer usage," the parent company told shareholders.
