Management discussion and analysis

 

General

 

On September 11, 2012, the Company changed its fiscal year end from April 30 to December 31. The change in fiscal year end was made so that the Company’s fiscal year end would coincide with all the Company’s operating subsidiaries in the People’s Republic of China. The Company’s unaudited financial results contained herewith are for the two-and nine-month transition periods ended September 30, 2012 for its fiscal year 2012 to reflect the change for the fiscal year end date to December 31.

 

The unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“USGAAP”).  The preparation of financial statements in conformity with USGAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the amount of expenses reported during the period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates. Unless otherwise indicated, all financial information presented in HK$ may be converted to U.S.$ using the exchange rate of 7.8 HK$ for every 1 U.S.$.

 

Results of Operations

 

Operating results for the two months ended September 30, 2012 compared to the two months ended September 30, 2011

 

Revenue for the two months ended September 30, 2012 increased by HK$3.1 million or 1.3% to HK$244.1 million compared to the corresponding period in the prior year due to increased orders from most of the major customers despite still experiencing general delay in their new product launchings.

 

Cost of revenue for the two months ended September 30, 2012 decreased by HK$13.4 million or 6.2% to HK$201.0 million compared to the corresponding period in the prior year. The improvement resulted from the product mix with more value added services rendered during the period. In this connection, gross profit increased by HK$16.5 million or 62.0% to HK$43.1 million while gross profit margin increased to 17.7% from 11.0%.

 

Total selling, general and administrative expenses for the two months ended September 30, 2012 increased by HK$0.8 million or 5.7% to HK$15.7 million, while disposals of property, plant and equipment recorded a loss of HK$1.3 million compared to a gain of HK$55 thousand in the corresponding period in the prior year. Income before income tax expense increased by HK$14.8 million or 130.0% to HK$26.2 million, while income tax expense decreased by HK$1.4 million or 54.2% to HK$1.2 million.

 

As a result of the above factors, the Company recorded net income after tax of HK$25.0 million in the two months ended September 30, 2012, compared to a profit of HK$8.8 million in the corresponding period in the prior year, or an increase by 184.8%.

 

 

 

 
 

 

Operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2011

 

Revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 decreased by HK$51.0 million or 4.9% to HK$982.7 million compared to the corresponding period in the prior year due to an overall decrease in sales to our major customers especially in the first seven months as a result of slowdown in new products developments hence consequential delay in new product launchings by some of our major customers under the then market sentiment.

 

Cost of revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 decreased by HK$24.2 million or 2.7% to HK$859.5 million compared to the corresponding period in the prior year.  The comparative decrease in cost of revenue was mainly attributable to increased sub-contracting expenses during the period.

 

Gross profit decreased by HK$26.8 million or 17.9% to HK$123.3 million while gross profit margin decreased to 12.5% from 14.5% accordingly.

 

Total selling, general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 increased by HK$1.2 million or 1.8% to HK$65.7 million, while disposals of property, plant and equipment recorded a loss of HK$1.2 million compared to a gain of HK$0.6 million in the corresponding period in the prior year.

 

Accordingly, income before income tax expense decreased by HK$27.2 million or 32.1% to HK$57.4 million, while income tax expenses decreased by HK$16.0 million or 73.2% to HK$5.9 million.  The income tax expense of HK$21.9 million in the corresponding period in the prior year was largely due to increased tax provisions provided under enterprise income tax in China.

 

The Company achieved net income after tax of HK$51.5 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to HK$62.7 million in the corresponding period in the prior year, or a decrease by 17.8%.

 

Balance sheet positions as at September 30, 2012 compared to April 30, 2012

 

Total assets increased by HK$36.3 million or 3.0% to HK$1,230.0 million as at September 30, 2012 from HK$1,193.7 million as at April 30, 2012, which increase was mainly attributed to a HK$50.9 million increase in trade receivables and a HK$22.7 million increase in cash and cash equivalents, against a HK$28.4 million decrease in fixed assets and a HK$6.2 million decrease in inventories.

 

Total liabilities decreased by HK$1.3 million or 0.2% to HK$480.4 million as at September 30, 2012 from HK$481.7 million as at April 30, 2012, which decrease was mainly attributed to a HK$35.3 million decrease in bank borrowings and capital lease obligations, against a HK$11.6 million increase in trade payables and a HK$20.0 million increase in other payables and accruals.

 

 

 

 
 

 

Cashflow analysis

 

The Company has relied primarily upon internally generated funds and bank borrowings to finance its operations and expansion.

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company had generated HK$35.9 million cash inflow as compared to HK$19.1 million cash inflow in the same corresponding period in the prior fiscal year.  The increase was mainly attributed to net cash provided by operating activities of HK$135.0 million, offsetting net cash used in investing activities of HK$66.6 million for the purchase of property, plant and equipment, and net cash used in repayment of bank borrowings and capital lease obligations of HK$29.5 million as well as net cash used in repurchase of shares of HK$3.0 million.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

The Company has not entered into any financial guarantees or other commitments to guarantee the payment obligations of third parties.  The Company has not entered into any derivative contracts that are indexed to its shares and classified as shareholder’s equity or that are not reflected in its combined financial statements.  Furthermore, the Company does not have any retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to an unconsolidated entity that serves as credit, liquidity or market risk support to such entity.  The Company does not have any variable interest in any unconsolidated entity that provides financing, liquidity, market risk or credit support to it or that engages in leasing, hedging or research and development services with the Company. There are no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on the Company’s financial condition, net sales or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to an investor.
