Overview of Our Business

We are a leading paper packaging company in China. Through our wholly-owned subsidiaries, Great Shengda, Shengda Color, Hangzhou Shengming and Suzhou AA, we are principally engaged in the design, manufacturing and sale of flexo-printed and color-printed corrugated paper cartons in a variety of sizes and strengths. We also manufacture corrugated paperboards, which are used for the production of our flexo-printed and color-printed cartons.

We provide paper packaging solutions to a wide variety of industries, including food, beverage, cigarette, household appliance, consumer electronics, pharmaceutical, chemical, machinery and other consumer or industrial sectors. Our major products are single-layer paper cartons for food, drinks and medicine, double-layer paper cartons for garments, chemicals, furniture, refrigerators and air-conditioners, and triple-layer paper cartons for electrical machinery, motorcycles and other heavy-duty products. Our maximum annual production capacity of corrugated paperboards as of June 30, 2012 was approximately 545 million square meters.

Our production facilities are strategically located in the YRD, a manufacturing center in China, thus putting us in close proximity to a large number of paper carton customers. Due to the weight and bulk of paper products and the consequent high shipping costs, paper packaging companies are generally limited to servicing a geographic radius from their production site, usually between 300 and 500 kilometers, within which they can compete economically. The paper carton market, therefore, is highly influenced by regional supply and demand dynamics. Based from our three manufacturing facilities in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, we have established a sales network with five customer service centers that can service customers throughout the YRD. As the leading paper packaging manufacturer in the YRD, we are well positioned to capitalize on the fast-growing demand for paper cartons driven by the concentration and success of the manufacturing companies in the region.

We serve a broad base of reputable customers, including some Fortune 500 companies and Top 500 Chinese enterprises. Our major customers include Nongfu Spring Co., Ltd., Hangzhou Cigarette Company, Samsung's Chinese subsidiary Suzhou Samsung Electrical Co., Ltd. and Panasonic's Chinese subsidiary Hangzhou Panasonic Home Electrical Appliance Company. We have developed long-term relationships with and loyalty from our customers, many of which have been with us for over five years. We have also engaged in strategic alliance relationships with ten customers as their preferred supplier. At the same time, we continue to attract new customers to generate higher demand for our products and increase market penetration.

Recent Developments

Revenues. We generate revenues from the sale of our paper cartons and other paper products. Our revenues increased by $4.1 million, or 12.5%, to $36.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012, from $32.6 million for the same period in 2011. The increase was attributable to the increase in sales volume, partially offset by the decrease in average prices per square meter. The average price per square meter decreased by approximately 2.6%, to approximately $0.40 for the three months ended June 30, 2012 from approximately $0.41 in the same period of 2011. Sales volume increased by 11.8 million square meters, or 14.7%, to 91.9 million square meters for the three months ended June 30, 2012, from 80.1 million square meters for the same period of 2011. The increased sales volume was mainly the result of greater efforts by our sales team, even though there were challenges resulting from the domestic and foreign economic environment.

For the three months ended June 30, 2012, color cartons accounted for 30.3% of our revenues and flexo cartons accounted for 69.7% of our revenues, compared to 28.6% and 71.4%, respectively, for the same period of 2011. Average per square meter prices for our color cartons and flexo cartons for the three months ended June 30, 2012 were approximately $0.41 and $0.39, respectively, as compared to approximately $0.46 and $0.39, respectively, for the same period of 2011.

Consumer and industrial goods manufacturing sectors are the principal markets we serve. Our major customers remained home appliances and electronics manufacturers and food, beverage and cigarette manufacturers in the YRD, which accounted for 25.7% and 32.1%, respectively, of our revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2012, compared to 22.2% and 23.9%, respectively, of our revenues in the three months ended June 30, 2011.

Cost of goods sold. Our cost of goods sold is comprised of raw materials, labor cost (production-related workers), depreciation and amortization of production-related equipment, utilities consumption costs and overhead allocation. Our cost of goods sold increased by $4.4 million, or 16.7%, to $30.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012, from $26.4 million for the same period of 2011, which was mainly attributable to the increase in sales volume described above. Average cost of goods sold per square meter for the three months ended June 30, 2012 was approximately $0.33, which was approximately the same as for the same period of 2011. Management will keep monitoring raw material prices for cost control.


Gross profit. Our gross profit decreased by $0.3 million, or 5.6%, to $5.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012, from $6.2 million for the same period of 2011. Gross profit from flexo cartons decreased by $0.1 million, or 2.5%, to $4.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012, from $4.2 million for the same period of 2011. Gross profit from color cartons decreased by $0.2 million, or 13.5%, to $1.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012, from $2.0 million for the same period of 2011. Gross profit as a percentage of revenues was 16.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2012, as compared to 19.0% for the same period of 2011. The decrease in our gross profit was mainly due to increased cost of goods sold as noted above.

Selling expenses. Our selling expenses include freight, salary and benefits for sales and marketing personnel, travelling and advertising expenses. Our selling expenses increased by $0.2 million, or 14.9%, to $1.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012, from $1.1 million for the same period of 2011. Such increase resulted mainly from staff costs, which include salary, benefits, social insurance and other relevant staff expenses. As a percentage of revenues, selling expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2012 increased to 3.6%, from 3.5% for the same period of 2011.

General and administrative expenses. Our general and administrative expenses are comprised of research and development, or R&D, expense, salary and benefits for administrative personnel, rental fees, depreciation and amortization for equipment used other than for production and miscellaneous expenses unrelated to production. Our general and administrative expenses were $2.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012, which was approximately the same as for the same period of 2011. As a percentage of revenues, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2012 decreased to 7.1%, as compared to 8.0% for the same period of 2011.

Subsidy income. We received local government funds in support of our R&D activities and hi-tech development in the amounts of $0.16 million and $0.28 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Income tax expense. Our income tax expense decreased to $0.37 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012, as compared to $0.38 million for the same period of 2011. The decrease in income tax expense was mainly attributable to the decrease in income before income tax expense and noncontrolling interest.

In December 2010, Great Shengda qualified as a National High-Tech Enterprise in the PRC, a status recognized by China's Ministry of Science and Technology, Ministry of Finance, and State Administration of Taxation. In December, the status was approved by the local tax bureau. As a result, Great Shengda is entitled to a preferential tax rate of 15%, retroactively effective as of January 1, 2010. Such status is subject to review by government authorities every three years. We cannot assure that we will continue to have such status after 2013 or that the PRC government will continue the preferential tax treatment of designated high-tech enterprises.

Hangzhou Shengming was entitled to two years' exemption followed by three years' half deduction on its income tax rate from 2007. Thus, it was exempt from income tax for 2007 and 2008 and was granted a 12.5% income tax rate for 2009, 2010 and 2011. Hangzhou Shengming is subject to the uniform income tax rate of 25% for calendar year 2012.

Shengda Color, Suzhou AA and Shuangsheng are not entitled to any tax holidays or preferential tax treatment. Therefore, they are each subject to the uniform income tax rate of 25% for calendar years 2011 and 2012.

Net income attributable to common stockholders. As a result of the cumulative effect of the above factors, our net income attributable to common stockholders decreased by $0.6 million, or 27.1%, to $1.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012, from $2.3 million for the same period of 2011.

Revenues. Our revenues increased by $5.6 million, or 9.4%, to $65.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012, from $59.5 million for the same period of 2011.

Our general and administrative expenses increased by $0.1 million, or 1.8%, to $4.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012, from $4.8 million for the same period of 2011.
