Man Sang Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries

 

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

 

September 30, 2005

(Unaudited)

 

1. Interim Financial Presentation

 

The interim financial statements are prepared pursuant to the requirements for reporting on Form 10-Q. The March 31, 2005 balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The interim financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes included in the annual report of Man Sang Holdings, Inc. (the "Company") on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005. In the opinion of management, the interim financial statements reflect all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. Operating results and cash flows for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results of the entire year.

 

2. Currency Presentations and Foreign Currency Translation

 

Assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries are translated from their functional currency to the reporting currency, at period-end exchange rates, while revenues and expenses are translated at average exchange rates during the period. Adjustments arising from such translation are reported as a separate component of stockholders' equity. Gains or losses from foreign currency transactions are included in the Statement of Operations. Aggregate net foreign currency gains or losses were immaterial for all periods presented in this report.

 

The consolidated financial statements of the Company are maintained, and its consolidated financial statements are expressed, in Hong Kong dollars. The translations of Hong Kong dollar amounts into United States dollars are for convenience only and have been made at the rate of HK$7.8 to US$1, the approximate free rate of exchange as of September 30, 2005. Such translations should not be construed as representations that Hong Kong dollar amounts could be converted into United States dollars at that rate or any other rate.

 

 

 

F-5

 



 

3. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

There are no new accounting pronouncements for which adoption is expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

 

4. Earnings Per Share ("EPS")

 

On July 22, 2005, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a five-for-four stock split of the Company’s common stock, par value US$0.001, effected in the form of a stock dividend for stockholders of record on July 22, 2005. In accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 4C, “Equity Accounts and Change in Capital Structure”, and SFAS No. 128, Earnings Per Share, the Company restated all the share and per share data in these condensed consolidated financial statements for the quarter ended September 30, 2004, to reflect the capital structure subsequent to the five-for-four stock split, which became effective on August 5, 2005.

 

EPS is calculated in accordance with SFAS No. 128 by application of the two-class method. The two-class method is an earnings allocation formula that determines earnings per share for each class of common stock and participating securities according to dividends declared (or accumulated) and participation rights in undistributed earnings. Per share data is calculated using the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.

ITEM 2.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

This section and other parts of this Form 10-Q contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, which are, by their nature, subject to risks and uncertainties. This Act provides a "safe harbor" for forward-looking statements to encourage companies to provide prospective information about themselves so long as they identify these statements as forward-looking and provide meaningful cautionary statements identifying important factors that could cause actual results to differ from the projected results. All statements, other than statements of historical fact, including statements regarding industry prospects and future results of operations or financial position, made in this Form 10-Q are forward looking. Words such as "anticipates," "believes," "expects," "future" and "intends" and similar expressions may identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements include, without limitation, statements relating to: our future performance, our expansion efforts, demand for our products; the state of economic conditions and our markets; currency and exchange rate fluctuations; and our ability to meet our liquidity requirements. These forward-looking statements are based on assumptions and analyses made by us in light of our experience and perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments, as well as other factors we believe to be appropriate in particular circumstances. However, whether actual results and developments will meet our expectations and predictions depend on a number of known and unknown risks and uncertainties and other factors, any or all of which could cause actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from our expectations, whether expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements (which may relate to, among other things, the Company's sales, costs and expenses, income, inventory performance, and receivables). Primarily engaged in the processing and trading of pearls and pearl jewelry products, and in real estate investment, our ability to achieve our objectives and expectations are derived at least in part from assumptions regarding economic conditions, consumer tastes, and developments in our competitive environment. The following assumptions, among others, could materially affect the likelihood that we will achieve our objectives and expectations communicated through these forward-looking statements: (i) that low or negative growth in the economies or the financial markets of our customers, particularly in the United States and in Europe, will not occur and reduce discretionary spending on goods that might be perceived as "luxuries"; (ii) that the Hong Kong dollar will remain pegged to the US dollar at US$1 to HK$7.8; (iii) that customer's choice of pearls vis-à-vis other precious stones and metals will not change adversely; (iv) that we will continue to obtain a stable supply of pearls in the quantities, of the quality and on terms we require; (v) that there will not be a substantial adverse change in the exchange relationship between the

 

1

 



 

renminbi ("RMB") and the Hong Kong or US dollar; (vi) that there will not be a substantial increase in the tax burdens of our subsidiaries operating in the PRC; (vii) that there will not be a substantial change in climate and environmental conditions at the source regions of pearls that could have a material adverse effect on the supply and pricing of pearls; and (viii) that there will not be a substantial adverse change in the real estate market conditions in the PRC and in Hong Kong. The following discussion of our results of operation, and liquidity and capital resources should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q and with our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2005, which contains a further description of risks and uncertainties related to forward-looking statements, as well as other aspects of our business. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this report. We will not publicly release any revisions to these forward-looking statements after the date hereof. Readers are urged, however, to review the factors set forth in reports that we file from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

Overview

 

For the six months ended September 30, 2005, we recorded a net sales of approximately HK$211.9 million, representing an increase of 2.3% as compared to the same period last year.

 

The increase in net sales is due to the increase in the sale of freshwater pearls, freshwater pearl finished products as well as South Sea pearls. We are continuing to adjust our sales and marketing strategies to meet market demand. Among all types of pearls, South Sea pearls including white and gold South Sea pearls and Tahitian black pearls now comprise 46.3% of our total net sales. On the finished products side, we recorded positive growth in our performance, especially on the pearl jewelry products.

 

We have responded to the latest market conditions in order to meet the market trend and customers’ taste and preferences. By adopting flexible marketing strategies, diversified promotion activities, as well as rendering custom-made services, we are confident that we can further expand our customer base and business.

 

To further expand market share of pearls and non-pearl jewelry finished products, we have re-aligned our resources to take advantage of our competitive strengths in pearls and non-pearl jewelry products to meet market demand. In addition, we continue to stream-line our operations to increase our productivity and production efficiency on the back-end support

side. Also, we have developed our own design teams to develop unique and innovative designs with a diversified range of products to suit different customers’ taste and demand.

 

For the six months ended September 30, 2005, net income was approximately HK$8.7 million, representing a decrease of 58.5% as compared to the same period last year. This was due to the effect of the HK$34.2 million gain on disposal of one of our real estate investment booked in the second quarter last year. Excluding the effect of this one time gain in last year, the net income increased by 112.3% when compared to the same period last year.

 

Future Trends

 

Due to the adverse effects generated by higher oil prices, higher interest rates and the outbreak of avian flu, the global economy may slow down with weakened consumer sentiments during the remainder of this fiscal year. However, we expect to minimize adverse effects of these challenges by virtue of our solid experience in the industry and flexible marketing strategies. We are constantly modifying our business strategies and implementing stringent cost control measures to maintain our leading position in the industry.

 

Last but not the least, we will continue to evaluate every investment opportunity in pursuing continuous growth and development. Attention is expected to be focused on potential investment opportunities in the PRC due to its robust economic development. Looking ahead, we are confident in facing any future challenges and will continue to gear towards our business future.

 

Results of Operations

For the Six-Month Period Ended September 30, 2005 compared to Six-Month Period Ended September 30, 2004.

 

Sales and Gross Profit

 

Net sales for the six months ended September 30, 2005 increased by HK$4.8 million, or 2.3% to HK$211.9 million, as compared to net sales of HK$207.1 million for the six months ended September 30, 2004. The increase is attributable to the increase in the sale of freshwater pearls, freshwater pearl finished products and South Sea pearls.

 

Gross profit for the six months ended September 30, 2005 decreased by HK$0.8 million, or 1.3%, to HK$58.6 million, as compared to gross profit of HK$59.4 million for the six months ended September 30, 2004. As a percentage of net sales, gross profit margin decreased

 

3

 



 

1.0% to 27.7% for the six months ended September 30, 2005 from 28.7% for the six months ended September 30, 2004. This is mainly due to the flexible pricing strategy on South Sea pearls in boosting our sales.

 

Rental Income

 

Gross rental income for the six month periods ended September 30, 2005, decreased by HK$1.1 million, or 36.0% to HK$1.8 million, as compared to gross rental income of HK$2.9 million for the six months ended September 30, 2004. The decrease in gross rental income was mainly attributable to the reduction in rental income as a result of the disposal of 8th Floor, Harcourt House, No.39 Gloucester Road, Wanchai, Hong Kong and lower rental income from our Man Sang Industrial City located in Shenzhen, PRC.

 

Selling, General and Administrative Expense ("SG&A expense")

 

SG&A expense for the six months ended September 30, 2005 was HK$38.8 million, consisting of HK$35.0 million attributable to pearl operations and HK$3.8 million attributable to real estate operations. SG&A expense for the six months ended September 30, 2005, decreased approximately HK$8.8 million, or 18.5%, as compared to SG&A expense of HK$47.6 million for the six months ended September 30, 2004, which consisted of HK$42.3 million attributable to pearl operations and HK$5.3 million attributable to real estate operations. The lower SG&A expense attributable to pearl operations was mainly due to lower provision for doubtful accounts as compared to the same period in fiscal 2005. The lower SG&A expense attributable to real estate operations was mainly due to the lack of a one-time write-off of a receivable related to a vacancy in one of our properties in Man Sang Industrial City in Shenzhen, which occurred during the same period in fiscal 2005.

 

As a percentage of net sales, SG&A expenses attributable to pearl operations decreased 3.9% to 16.5% for the six months ended September 30, 2005 from 20.4% for the six months ended September 30, 2004.

 

Interest Expense

 

Interest expense decreased by HK$78K* to nil for the six months ended September 30, 2005 as the we have fully repaid all bank borrowings.

_________________________

* As used in this report, the letter “K” appearing immediately after a Hong Kong dollar amount denotes rounding to the nearest HK$1,000; as an example, HK$250,499 may be rounded to “HK$250K.”

Interest Income

 

Interest income increased by HK$2.4 million, or 1,397.0%, to HK$2.5 million for the six months ended September 30, 2005, as compared to interest income of HK$169K for the six months ended September 30, 2004. The increase was due principally to higher cash balances during the six months ended September 30, 2005.

 

Income Tax Expense

 

Income tax expense for the six months ended September 30, 2005 was HK$4.9 million, as compared to the HK$4.3 million during the six months ended September 30, 2004. The increase was due to higher taxable income generated during the six months ended September 30, 2005.

 

Net Income

 

Net income for the six months ended September 30, 2005 was HK$8.7 million, as compared to net income of HK$21.0 million for the six months ended September 30, 2004. The decrease was mainly attributable to a gain on the disposal of real estate during the second quarter last fiscal year, which did not recur during this fiscal period. Such decrease was mitigated by lower SG&A expenses.

 

Results of Operations

Three-Month Period Ended September 30, 2005 compared to Three-Month Period Ended September 30, 2004.

 

Sales and Gross Profit

 

Net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2005 decreased by HK$274K, or 0.3% to HK$107.7 million, as compared to net sales of HK$108.0 million during the three months ended September 30, 2004.

 

Gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2005 decreased by HK$3.0 million, or 9.4%, to HK$28.9 million, as compared to gross profit of HK$31.9 million in the three months ended September 30, 2004. As a percentage of net sales, gross profit margin decreased 2.7% to 26.8% for the three months ended September 30, 2005, as compared with gross profit margin of 29.5% for the three months ended September 30, 2004. The decrease in

gross profit margin was mainly attributable to the flexible pricing strategy on South Sea pearls in boosting our sales.

 

Rental Income

 

Gross rental income for the three months ended September 30, 2005 was approximately HK$0.9 million representing a decrease of approximately HK$363K, or 27.9%, as compared to gross rental income of HK$1.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2004. The decrease in gross rental income was mainly attributable to the reduction of rental income as a result of the disposal of 8th Floor, Harcourt House, No. 39 Gloucester Road, Wanchai, Hong Kong.

 

Selling, General and Administrative Expense ("SG&A expense")

 

SG&A expense was HK$18.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005, consisting of HK$16.8 million attributable to pearl operations and HK$2.1 million attributable to real estate operations. SG&A expense for the three months ended September 30, 2005, decreased approximately HK$9.9 million, or 34.6%, as compared to SG&A expense of HK$28.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2004, which consisted of HK$25.0 million attributable to pearl operations and HK$3.8 million attributable to real estate operations. The decrease in SG&A expense attributable to pearl operations was mainly due to lower provision for doubtful accounts and the other-than-temporary impairment of a long-term investment during the same period in fiscal 2005 which did not appear in this fiscal year. The decrease in SG&A expense attributable to the real estate side was mainly due to the lack of a one time write-off of a receivable related to a recent vacancy in one of our properties in Man Sang Industrial City in Shenzhen, which occurred during the same period in fiscal 2005.

 

As a percentage of net sales, SG&A expense attributable to pearl operations decreased 7.6% to 15.6% for the three months ended September 30, 2005 from 23.2% for the three months ended September 30, 2004.

 

Interest Expense

 

Interest expense decreased by HK$40K to nil for the three months ended September 30, 2005 as the Company has fully repaid all bank borrowings.

Interest Income

 

Interest income increased by HK$1.4 million, or 1,250.0%, to HK$1.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005, as compared to interest income of HK$110K for the three months ended September 30, 2004. The increase was due principally to higher cash balances during the three months ended September 30, 2005.

 

Income Tax Expense

 

Income tax expense for the three months ended September 30, 2005 was HK$2.8 million, as compared to HK$1.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2004. The increase was due to higher taxable income generated during the three months ended September 30, 2005.

 

Net Income

 

Net income for the three months ended September 30, 2005 was HK$4.3 million, as compared to net income of HK$17.3 million during the three months ended September 30, 2004. The decrease was mainly attributable to a gain on the disposal of real estate in the second quarter last fiscal year, which did not recur during this fiscal period. Such decrease was mitigated by lower SG&A expenses.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Our primary liquidity needs are funded by collection of accounts receivable and sales of inventory. As of September 30, 2005, we had working capital of HK$382.8 million, which included a cash balance of HK$254.7 million. The current ratio was 9.4 to 1 as of September 30, 2005. Net cash provided by operating activities was approximately HK$10.6 million for the six months ended September 30, 2005. Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended September 30, 2005 was HK$1.2 million and net cash provided by financing activities was HK$1.9 million.

 

Inventories accounted for HK$77.5 million as of September 30, 2005. The inventory turnover period was 3.1 months as of September 30, 2005.

 

Accounts receivable were HK$71.9 million as of September 30, 2005. Debtors' turnover period was 61.9 days as of September 30, 2005.

 

 

7

 



 

All of our long-term debt (including the current portion of long-term debt) was fully repaid and the gearing ratio was zero as of September 30, 2005.

 

We had available working capital facilities of HK$47.0 million with various banks at September 30, 2005. Such banking facilities include letter of credit arrangements, import loans, overdrafts and other facilities commonly used in the jewelry business. All such banking facilities bear interest at floating rates generally offered by banks in Hong Kong and are subject to periodic review. As of September 30, 2005, we had a zero balance on each of these credit facilities.

 

We believe that our existing cash, cash equivalents, banking facilities and funds to be generated from internal operations will be sufficient to meet our anticipated future liquidity requirements.

 

ITEM 3.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

As of September 30, 2005, we had no derivative contracts, such as forward contracts and options to hedge against foreign exchange fluctuations.

 

During the six months ended September 30, 2005, we made approximately 16.4% of our purchases in US dollars, and 21.1% in Hong Kong dollars, 41.4% in Japanese Yen and 4.7% in RMB.

 

We denominate our sales in either US dollars or Hong Kong dollars. Since the Hong Kong dollar remained "pegged" to the US dollar at a consistent rate, we feel that the exposure of our sales proceeds to foreign exchange fluctuations is minimal. On the other hand, the potential revaluation of the RMB will not be considered significant to our operations as we believe that the risk of a substantial fluctuation of the RMB exchange rate remains low. At September 30, 2005, we have no short-term RMB bank borrowings. In addition, the transaction settled in Japanese Yen is due to a non-recurring purchase made during this fiscal period and therefore the risk of foreign currency exposure on Japanese Yen remains low.

 

Because most of our purchases are made in currencies that we believe we have a low risk of appreciation or devaluation and our sales are made in US dollars, we have determined that our currency risk in the foreseeable future should not be material, and that no derivative contracts, such as forward contracts and options to hedge against foreign exchange fluctuations, were necessary during this quarter.

ITEM 4.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

We maintain a system of disclosure controls and procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance as to the reliability of our published financial statements and other disclosures included in our reports under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934. In accordance with Rule 14a-15(b) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2005. Based on such evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2005 to ensure that material information relating to the company was made known to them by others within the company, particularly during the period in which this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q was being prepared. No significant change was made in our internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2005 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer do not expect that our disclosure controls or internal controls will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdown can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any system of controls also is based partly on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.
