Profitability and Expenses
Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses increased nearly 60 percent to approximately $4.6 million for the fiscal first half, an increase that was said to be mainly due to “share-based awards recognized in respect of awards granted to five members.”
The company reported that other net income increased from approximately $0.4 million for the prior-year H1 period to approximately $0.5 million for the current year H1 period, which was said to be mainly due to an increase in interest income.
Income tax expense increased to $0.7 million for the fiscal first half, compared to approximately $0.5 million in the prior-year H1 period, which was said to be mainly due to the increase in income before tax in the current period.
