LifeTech Scientific, a growth company in Hong Kong with high insider ownership, is navigating through financial complexities with mixed results. While its revenue growth of 16.8% per year outpaces the local market's 8%, and earnings are expected to increase by 20.5% annually, recent financial statements show a decline in net income from CNY 325.34 million to CNY 263.24 million year-over-year due to non-recurring losses and increased expenses in share-based payments.
