REVIEW OF PERFORMANCE a) Incom e Statem ent
FY2013 sales increased by 11.7% to US$65.7m as compared to FY2012 sales of US$58.8m, contributed by increased sales from our subsidiaries in Penang and UK. Cost of sales increased by 16.0% to US$56.4m for FY2013, as compared to US$48.6m for FY2012. Gross margin declined from 17.4% FY2012 to 14.2% in FY2013 due to.lower margin sale mix, higher labour and depreciation costs.
Profit before tax decreased by 37.4% from US$2.4m in FY2012 to US$1.5m in FY2013.
Inventories declined from US$23.8m as at 4Q FY2012 to US$22.7m as at the end of 4Q FY2013, while trade and other receivables decreased by US$0.6m from
US$16.8m as at 4Q FY2012 to US$16.2m as at 4Q FY2013.
Trade and other payables increased by US$0.6m from US$8.4m as at 4Q FY2012 to US$9.0m as at 4Q FY2013.
Outstanding short term borowings increased by US$0.2m from US$8.1m as at Q4 FY2013 as compared to US$7.9m as at Q4 FY2012.
As a result of better working capital management, net cash generated from operating activities was US$3.9m in FY2013 as compared to outflow of US$1.2m in FY2012. This was due mainly to better collection of trade receivables and lower material purchases.
Net cash of US$1.4m used in financing activities during FY2013 was mainly for payment of dividends to shareholders and repayment of term loans.
Cash on hand increased from US$3.4m as at 4Q FY2012 to US$5.7m as at 4Q FY2013.
