Unaudited Financial Statements
This Report of Foreign Private Issuer on Form 6-K by Plastec Technologies, Ltd. (“we, “us”, “our” or the “Company”) contains the Company’s unaudited financial results for its fiscal year 2016 second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2016.
As previously reported, on November 14, 2015, we entered into a Share Transfer Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Shanghai Yongli Belting Co., Ltd. (“SYB”) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Shanghai Yongjing Investment Management Co., Ltd. (“SYIM”). Pursuant to the Agreement, SYIM will purchase, through a to-be-formed wholly-owned Hong Kong subsidiary (the “HK Subsidiary”), the entirety of our shareholding interests in Plastec International Holdings Limited. (“Plastec”). Upon completion of the proposed transaction, we will no longer own Plastec and will continue in existence for an indefinite period of time, where our only operations will generally be to complete development projects, collect rental income from certain property we own and that is being leased to one of Plastec’s subsidiaries, collect any payments we may receive upon Plastec achieving the performance targets for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2017 and 2018 as described in the Agreement and to explore other investment opportunities. The transaction is expected to be consummated after the fulfillment of certain closing conditions, as described in the Agreement and our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. This Form 6-K assumes that the transaction has not closed (which remains so, as of the date of this Form 6-K) and we accordingly are continuing to operate our business in the ordinary course as described herein.

Management discussion and analysis
General
The unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“USGAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with USGAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the amount of expenses reported during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Unless otherwise indicated, all financial information presented in HK$ may be converted to US$ using the exchange rate of 7.8 HK$ for every 1 US$.
Results of Operations
Operating results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2016 compared to the second quarter ended June 30, 2015
We recorded an approximately 14.7% increase in revenue for the second quarter ended June 30, 2016 to HK$370.2 million compared to the corresponding period in the prior year, underpinned by an increase in sales in China along with our continued focus on soliciting new orders from customers and eliminating sales orders with low margins.
Accordingly, our gross profit increased by approximately 51.7%, or HK$36.1 million to HK$105.9 million compared to the corresponding period in the prior year. The increase in gross profit was attributable to better margins on our products compared to the corresponding period in the prior year, and also our on-going efforts in streamlining our manufacturing operation and process to reduce costs. Gross profit margin improved to 28.6% from 21.6% compared to the corresponding period in the prior year. Income before income tax expenses increased by approximately 125.7%, or HK$39.0 million to HK$70.1 million compared to the corresponding period in the prior year.
Income tax expense was HK$17.0 million compared to HK$3.6 million in the corresponding period in the prior year, representing an effective income tax rate of 24.3% compared to 11.4% in the corresponding prior year period.
Net income after tax increased by approximately by 92.9%, or HK$25.5 million to HK$53.0 million in the second quarter ended June 30, 2016, compared to the corresponding period in the prior year.
Operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2015
We recorded an approximately 10.3% increase in revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2016 to HK$679.1 million compared to the corresponding period in the prior year, as a result of our continued focus on soliciting new orders from existing customers as well as new customers throughout this period.
Our gross profit increased by approximately 37.1%, or HK$53.3 million to HK$197.1 million compared to the corresponding period in the prior year. The increase in gross profit was attributable to better margins on our products and our on-going efforts in cost control throughout the period. Gross profit margin improved to 29.0% from 23.4% compared to the corresponding period in the prior year. We recorded an approximately 71.8% increase in income before income tax expenses to HK$125.4 million compared to the corresponding period in the prior year.
Income tax expense was HK$15.9 million compared to HK$10.5 million in the corresponding period in the prior year, representing an effective income tax rate of 12.7% compared to 14.4% in the corresponding period in the prior year.
Balance sheet positions as at June 30, 2016 compared to December 31, 2015
Total assets increased by HK$73.6 million or approximately 5.7% to HK$1,376.5 million as of June 30, 2016 compared to HK$1,302.9 million as of December 31, 2015. This increase was mainly attributable to a HK$73.7 million increase in cash and cash equivalents, a HK$43.8 million increase in trade receivables and a HK$11.0 million increase in bills receivable, against a HK$29.9 million decrease in net book values of fixed assets and a HK$28.1 million decrease in inventories.
Total liabilities decreased by HK$6.4 million or approximately 1.8% to HK$355.8 million as of June 30, 2016 compared to HK$362.2 million as of December 31, 2015. This decrease was mainly attributable to a HK$11.5 million decrease in trade payables and a HK$7.3 million decrease in other payables and accruals, against a HK$8.6 million increase in tax payables and a HK$3.8 million increase in bank borrowings.
Cashflow analysis
We have relied primarily upon internally generated funds and bank borrowings to finance our operations and expansion.
For the six months ended June 30, 2016, we recorded HK$82.9 million cash inflow as compared to HK$54.8 million cash outflow in the same corresponding period in the prior year.
We generated HK$117.0 million cash inflow from operating activities as compared to HK$101.8 million cash inflow in the corresponding period in the prior year. Net cash used in investing activities was HK$17.7 million compared to HK$57.3 million in the corresponding period in the prior year.
Net cash used in financing activities for the period was HK$16.4 million which included dividends payment of HK$20.2 million, compared to HK$99.4 million net cash used in financing activities in the corresponding period in the prior year which included dividends payment in aggregate of HK$111.0 million.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company has not entered into any financial guarantees or other commitments to guarantee the payment obligations of third parties. The Company has not entered into any derivative contracts that are indexed to its shares and classified as shareholder’s equity or that are not reflected in its combined financial statements. Furthermore, the Company does not have any retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to an unconsolidated entity that serves as credit, liquidity or market risk support to such entity. The Company does not have any variable interest in any unconsolidated entity that provides financing, liquidity, market risk or credit support to it or that engages in leasing, hedging or research and development services with the Company. There are no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on the Company’s financial condition, net sales or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to an investor.
