Revenues and Earnings
Shiner's revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2010 increased 14% on a sequential basis from the quarter ended March 31, 2010, and increased 65% when compared to the same period in 2009. The year to year increase in revenue related directly to increases in sales across Shiner's main business lines, which included a 136% increase in coated film sales from $2.2 million for the second quarter of 2009 to $5.1 million for the second quarter of 2010. Anti-counterfeit film sales increased 63% to $3.0 million from $1.9 million for the comparable period in 2009. Revenue from BOPP tobacco film sales was $4.0 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2010, an increase of 25% from the same period in 2009. Revenue from color printing increased 39% to $1.0 million in the second quarter in 2010 from $0.8 million during the comparable period in 2009.

Cost of goods sold increased $4.1 million, or 59%, from $6.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009 to $11.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010. Cost of goods sold represented 83.0 % and 86.2% of our total revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
Our gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2010 was $2.2 million, which represented a gross margin of 17.0% and an increase of 32 basis points from a gross margin of 13.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2009. The increase in gross margin was a direct consequence of an increase in the selling prices of our products, a decrease in overhead unit rates as a result of increased production volume, and lower raw material prices.
Our selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by about 4.8%, or $0.06 million, to $1.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 from $1.3 million for the comparable period in 2009.
Income from operations was $1.0 million for the 2010 second quarter compared to a $0.21 million loss in the same period of the prior year.
For the second quarter of fiscal 2010, Shiner reported net income of $0.9 million compared to a net loss of $0.3 million in the same period of the prior year. Earnings per share were $0.04 for the second quarter of fiscal 2010 compared to a net loss of $0.01 per share for the second quarter of fiscal 2009. The improvement reflects significantly higher sales volume, increased manufacturing capacity utilization, higher selling prices, and lower raw material costs. Shiner's productivity and cost-cutting actions are essentially tracking according to its business plan.
At June 30, 2010, we had $3.3 million in cash and cash equivalents on hand. On June 30, 2010, we had five short-term loans outstanding for a total of $4.7 million and we had working capital of $10.8 million, a decrease of $0.8 million from March 31, 2010.
Operations Outlook
Mr. Xing stated: "We are glad to see the continued positive results throughout the first and second quarter. The strong growth in all business product lines validates our business progress and our effort to improve shareholder value. Our coated film sales increased 136% this quarter compared to the second quarter of 2009, along with a 63% increase in the anti counterfeit film, which contributed to the $1.22 million net income growth for the quarter.
"The primary industries we serve appear to be recovering, led by increased demand for consumer media products, tobacco and cigarettes, and food spending by consumers. We believe the growth for our core business will be driven by the growth in the standard of living and higher wages across Asia, the new food laws that have been passed in China, and the growing need for media companies to protect their products from counterfeiting in China and Southeast Asia.
While there is still uncertainty about the sustainability of the global economic recovery, given our current cost structure and the prospect of improvement in the markets we serve, we believe that we will be well positioned to continue to generate improved earnings performance as sales increase. "Looking ahead to the third quarter," Mr. Xing said. "We expect earnings to be in line with our previous forecasts and currently estimate our third quarter earnings at about $0.04 per share."
Business Highlights
Mr. Xing stated: "Our goal is to continue to increase sales both in China and internationally and we have begun to make investments in our infrastructure as well as our distribution network, as follows:
"Our new Hainan manufacturing facility has been completed and operations have begun. The new plant allows us to consolidate operations and processes from three separate locations into one central location, providing Shiner with immediate operational efficiencies, improved quality control and cost savings. We believe this new facility provides us with the opportunity to better serve international customers and puts Shiner in a better competitive position to win new business.
"We obtained a credit facility from the Bank of China to finance a state-of-the-art BOPP line from Bruckner Group. This line is custom ordered to our specifications to produce special base film for high quality anti counterfeit film and coated film. The equipment is expected to be delivered early in the first quarter of 2011, and we expect it to be operational in the second quarter of 2011.
"We plan on establishing two sales offices in the third quarter. The first is in Shanghai, which will focus on the domestic food safety packaging market and target China's leading food processors. The second sales office will be located in Hong Kong as a joint venture with an established distributor and will focus on developed markets such as Europe and North America.
"We believe that these investments and initiatives will put us in a better position to strengthen our leading position in the growing domestic food safety packaging market and capture additional international business. We will continue to focus on maintaining profitability and believe that we are on target to achieve our 2010 business plan goals."
