Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

ASSOCIATED Engineering Ltd's group sales for the year ended September 30, 1980, totalled £4 4 1.7m compared with £367.8m in 1979. Despite this sharp upturn, profit before taxation was only £7.8m compared with £19.0m in 1979.

Net profit after taxation slumped from £14.4m in 1979 to £5.4m last year.

Chairman John Ferguson said he was disappointed with reduced profitability bearing in mind the result for the first six months.
