Summary commentary on results
Directors Comments:
GLG Corp Ltd’s (“GLG”) net profit increased by US$2,965 thousand, or 228.4% to US$4,263 thousand, against a net profit of US$1,298 thousand for the corresponding period in 2010. The increase was due to lower finance costs and higher gross profit margin generated.
GLG’s sales increased by US$15,657 thousand, or 13.8% to US$129,154 thousand compared to sales of US$113,497 thousand in the corresponding period of 2011. The increase in sales was mainly attributed to higher Freight On Board “FOB” unit prices and larger orders from existing and new customers.
GLG’s gross profit was US$14,688 thousand compared to a gross profit of US$8,514 thousand for the corresponding period of 2010. Gross margin increased to 11.4% as compared to 7.5% for the corresponding period of 2010 was largely attributed to lower cotton prices and higher FOB unit prices.
Administrative expenses increased by US$510 thousand, or 8.5% to US$6,502 thousand compared to US$5,992 thousand for the corresponding period of 2010. The increase was mainly due to higher manpower costs as to meet increased demand from customers.
Other expenses increased by US$3,321 or 510.1% to US$3,972 thousand compared to US$651 thousand for the corresponding period of 2010. This is due to foreign exchange losses incurred on forward currency contracts.
Finance costs were reduced to US$364 thousand or 57.2% compared to US$852 thousand for the corresponding period in 2010. The decrease was due to lower interest rates.
The discussion that follows compares the Consolidated Statement of Cash flows for the six months to 31 December 2011 with that of 31 December 2010
GLG’s cash from operating activities increased an inflow of US$8,567 thousand for the half year ended 31 December 2011 compared to an inflow of US$136 thousand for the half year ended 31 December 2010. The increase in the cash flow from operating activities was mainly due to higher revenue, and improvement in cash management and collection efficiency.
We believe the cash flow from operations of GLG remains sufficient to meet our working capital requirements, capital expenditures, debt servicing and other funding requirements for the foreseeable future.

Independent Auditor’s Review Report to the members of GLG Corp Ltd
We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of GLG Corp Ltd, which comprises the condensed statement of financial position as at 31 December 2011, and the condensed statement of comprehensive income, the condensed statement of cash flows and the condensed statement of changes in equity for the half-year ended on that date, selected explanatory notes and, the directors’ declaration of the consolidated entity comprising the company and the entities it controlled at the end of the half-year or from time to time during the half-year as set out on pages 8 to 15.
Directors’ Responsibility for the Half-Year Financial Report
The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the half-year financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half-year financial report based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with Auditing Standard on Review Engagements ASRE 2410 Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity , in order to state whether, on the basis of the procedures described, we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including: giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity’s financial position as at 31 December 2011 and its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001 . As the auditor of GLG Corp Ltd, ASRE 2410 requires that we comply with the ethical requirements relevant to the audit of the annual financial report.
A review of a half-year financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

i. Third parties offset: When GLG receives an order from a customer, it either receives a letter of credit or an open account for the customer. Upon completion of the order, GLG converts the letter of credit or open account into a bill payable with a bank. GLG will then use the cash to pay its creditors. When the letter of credit matures or the customer pays off the open account, the bank will offset funds from the third party trade receivable against bills payable.
-
ii. Other party - GLIT Group (GLIT Holdings Pte Ltd and controlled subsidiaries) and Related Parties offsets: Presently and reflected in the Statement of Financial Position at 30 June 2011 when Other Party - GLIT Group buys fabric from textile mills GLG issues a letter of credit on their behalf. In order to maximize the discounts available, GLG converts for Other Party - GLIT Group the letter of credit it has issued into a Trust Receipt.
The bank will immediately pay the textile mill. After completion of the apparel order, Other Party - GLIT invoices GLG and a trade payable is recorded. GLG immediately has a legally enforceable right to offset the amount owed by Other Party - GLIT and settle the balance, if any, with Other Party - GLIT on a net basis.
The offset takes place between 90 days to 120 days depending on the date of maturity of the Trust Receipt. A similar offset arrangement has been made with Related Parties transactions.
