BEIJING, August 22, 2013 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Trunkbow International Holdings Limited (NASDAQ: TBOW) ("Trunkbow" or the "Company"), a leading provider of Mobile Payment Solutions ("MPS") and Mobile Value Added Services ("MVAS") in the PRC, today announced unaudited financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2013.
Second Quarter 2013 Financial Highlights
Second Quarter 2013 and Recent Business Highlights
To date, no decisions have been made with respect to the Company's response to the going-private proposal previously announced on November 2, 2012. There can be no assurance that any definitive offer will be made, that any agreement will be executed or that this or any other transaction will be approved or consummated. The Company will provide relevant updates with respect to the going-private transaction or any other transaction as appropriate.
Second Quarter 2013 Results
Gross revenue in the second quarter of 2013 was $6.3 million, compared with gross revenue of $6.0 million in the same period a year ago. The increase in gross revenue was primarily attributable to revenue from the Company's mobile payment systems. Revenue from MVAS declined to $3.2 million, from $4.8 million for the second quarter of 2012, primarily as a result of a reduction in sales of the Company's mobile newspaper, business operator and SMS/phone-call management offerings. Revenue from the Company's MPS offerings totaled $3.2 million, compared with $1.1 million in the second quarter of 2012. The increase in MPS revenue was attributable to a sizeable order for the Company's hardware-based MPS systems.
Cost of revenue in the second quarter of 2013 was $3.2 million, compared with $0.7 million in the same period of 2012. The increase in cost of revenue was primarily attributed to the MPS hardware sale.
Gross profit in the second quarter of 2013 totaled $3.0 million, compared with $5.1 million in the second quarter of 2012. As a percentage of net revenue, gross margin was 48.7% in the second quarter of 2013, compared with 87.5% in the year-ago period. The year-over-year decline in gross margin was attributable to a significant increase in the proportion of revenue from the sale of MPS hardware.
Operating expenses in the second quarter of 2013 were $4.2 million, compared with $4.0 million in the second quarter of 2012. The increase in operating expenses was primarily attributable to an increase in allowance for doubtful debts of $0.6 million and an increase in write-off of intangible assets of $0.3 million, partially offset by reductions in business entertainment, advertising and promotion expenses as a result of cost control measures implemented earlier in the year.
Operating loss in the second quarter of 2013 was $(1.2) million, compared with operating income of $1.1 million reported in the same period last year. The decrease in operating income was primarily caused by the decrease in gross profit.
Net loss attributable to Trunkbow was $(1.4) million in the second quarter of 2013, compared with net income of $2.3 million in the second quarter of 2012. Loss per basic and diluted share in the second quarter of 2013 was $(0.04), based on basic and diluted shares outstanding of 36.8 million. This compares with earnings per basic and diluted share of $0.06, based on basic and diluted shares outstanding of 36.8 million in the year-ago period.

As of June 30, 2013, the Company had $0.2 million in cash and cash equivalents, compared with $0.8 million as of December 31, 2012. As of June 30, 2013, the Company had working capital of $57.5 million and total shareholders' equity of $94.4 million. Accounts receivable on June 30, 2013 totaled approximately $46.5 million.
