Gross profit margin in the plastic segment increased to 16.3% of net sales for the second quarter of fiscal 2012 compared to 10.5% of net sales for the same quarter of last fiscal year. The increase of gross profit margin was mainly due to an increase in the selling price of products, production of high margin items and improvement in operating efficiency.
