NOTE 2 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Accounting Principles

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) as applicable to smaller reporting companies, and generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial reporting. The information furnished herein reflects all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals and adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to fairly present the operating results for the respective periods. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally presented in annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2012 filed on April 11, 2013, as amended on April 23, 2013, with the SEC.

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management of the Company to make a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. On an ongoing basis, management reviews its estimates and assumptions, including those related to the recoverability of the carrying amount and the estimated useful lives of long-lived assets, valuation allowances for accounts receivable and realizable values for inventories. Changes in facts and circumstances may result in revised estimates.

 

Foreign Currency Transactions

 

The Company’s reporting currency is Chinese Yuan (Renminbi or “RMB”).

 

Fuwei Films (Holdings) Co., Ltd. and Fuwei (BVI) operate in Hong Kong as investment holding companies and their financial records are maintained in Hong Kong dollars, being the functional currency of these two entities. The financial records of Fuwei Films USA, LLC, a 60% owned subsidiary of the Company, are maintained in US dollars. Assets and liabilities are translated into RMB at the exchange rates at the balance sheet date, equity accounts are translated at historical exchange rates and income, expenses, and cash flow items are translated using the average rate for the period. The translation adjustments are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income in the statements of equity. The changes in the translation adjustments for the current period were reported as the line items of other comprehensive income in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income.

 

Transactions denominated in currencies other than RMB are translated into RMB at the exchange rates quoted by the People’s Bank of China (the “PBOC”) prevailing at the dates of transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into RMB using the applicable exchange rates quoted by the PBOC at the balance sheet dates. The resulting exchange differences are recorded in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income.

 

RMB is not fully convertible into foreign currencies. All foreign exchange transactions involving RMB must take place either through the PBOC or other institutions authorized to buy and sell foreign currency. The exchange rate adopted for the foreign exchange transactions are the rates of exchange quoted by the PBOC which are determined largely by supply and demand.

 

Commencing from July 21, 2005, the PRC government moved the RMB into a managed floating exchange rate regime based on market supply and demand with reference to a basket of currencies.

 

For the convenience of the readers, the second quarter of 2013 RMB amounts included in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements in our quarterly report have been translated into U.S. dollars at the rate of US$1.00 = RMB6.1374, on the last trading day of second quarter of 2013 (June 28, 2013) as set forth in the H.10 statistical release of the U.S. Federal Reserve Board. No representation is made that the RMB amounts could have been, or could be, converted into U.S. dollar at that rate or at any other certain rate on June 28, 2013, or at any other date.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash

 

For statements of cash flow purposes, the Company considers all cash on hand and in banks, including accounts in book overdraft positions, certificates of deposit and other highly-liquid investments with maturities of three months or less, when purchased, to be cash and cash equivalents.

Restricted cash refers to the cash balance held by bank as deposit for Letters of Credit and Bank Acceptance Bill. The Company has restricted cash of RMB47,750 (US$7,780) and RMB21,457 as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

 

Trade Accounts Receivable

 

Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount after deduction of trade discounts, value added taxes and allowances, if any, and do not bear interest. The allowance for doubtful accounts is the Group’s best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in the Group’s existing accounts receivable. The Group determines the allowance based on historical write-off experience, customer specific facts and economic conditions.

 

The Group reviews its allowance for doubtful accounts monthly. Past due balances over 90 days and over a specified amount are reviewed individually for collectability. All other balances are reviewed on a pooled basis by aging of such balances. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote.

 

Inventories

 

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market value as of balance sheet date. Inventory valuation and cost-flow is determined using Moving Weighted Average Method basis. The Group estimates excess and slow moving inventory based upon assumptions of future demands and market conditions. If actual market conditions are less favorable than projected by management, additional inventory write-downs may be required. Cost of work in progress and finished goods comprises direct material, direct production cost and an allocated portion of production overheads based on normal operating capacity.

 

Property, Plant and Equipment

 

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment. Depreciation on property, plant and equipment is calculated on the straight-line method (after taking into account their respective estimated residual values) over the estimated useful lives of the assets. They are as follows:

 

    Years  
Buildings and improvements     25 - 30  
Plant and equipment     10 - 15  
Computer equipment     5  
Furniture and fixtures     5  
Motor vehicles     5  

 

Depreciation of property, plant and equipment attributable to manufacturing activities is capitalized as part of the inventory, and expensed to cost of goods sold when inventory is sold. Depreciation related to abnormal amounts from idle capacity is charged to cost of goods sold for the period incurred.

Construction in progress represents capital expenditures in respect to the new BOPET production line. No depreciation is provided in respect to construction in progress.

 

Leased Assets

 

An arrangement, comprising a transaction or a series of transactions, is or contains a lease if the Group determines that the arrangement conveys a right to use a specific asset or assets for an agreed period of time in return for a payment or a series of payments. Such a determination is made based on an evaluation of the substance of the arrangement and is regardless of whether the arrangement takes the legal form of a lease.

 

Classification of assets leased to the Group. Assets that are held by the Group under leases which transfer to the Group substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as being held under capital leases. Leases which do not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the Group are classified as operating leases.

 

Assets acquired under capital leases. Where the Group acquires the use of assets under capital leases, the amounts representing the fair value of the leased asset, or, if lower, the present value of the minimum lease payments, of such assets are included in property, plant and equipment and the corresponding liabilities, net of finance charges, are recorded as obligations under capital leases. Depreciation is provided at rates which write off the cost or valuation of the assets over the term of the relevant lease or, where it is likely the Group will obtain ownership of the asset, the life of the asset. Finance charges implicit in the lease payments are charged to the consolidated income statement over the period of the leases so as to produce an approximately constant periodic rate of charge on the remaining balance of the obligations for each accounting period. Contingent rentals are charged to the consolidated income statement in the accounting period in which they are incurred.

 

Operating lease charges. Where the Group has the use of assets held under operating leases, payments made under the leases are charged to the consolidated income statement in equal installments over the accounting periods covered by the lease term, except where an alternative basis is more representative of the pattern of benefits to be derived from the leased asset. Lease incentives received are recognized in the consolidated income statement as an integral part of the aggregate net lease payments made. Contingent rentals are charged to the consolidated income statement in the accounting period in which they are incurred.

 

Sale and leaseback transactions. Gains or losses on equipment sale and leaseback transactions which result in capital leases are deferred and amortized over the terms of the related leases. Gains or losses on equipment sale and leaseback transactions which result in operating leases are recognized immediately if the transactions are established at fair value. Any loss on the sale perceived to be a real economic loss is recognized immediately. However, if a loss is compensated for by future rentals at a below-market price, then the artificial loss is deferred and amortized over the period that the equipment is expected to be used. If the sale price is above fair value, then any gain is deferred and amortized over the useful life of the assets.

 

Lease Prepayments

 

Lease prepayments represent the costs of land use rights in the PRC. Land use rights are carried at cost and charged to expense on a straight-line basis over the respective periods of rights of 30 years. The non-current portion and current portion of lease prepayments have been reported in Lease Prepayments, Prepayments and Other Receivables in the balance sheets, respectively.

Goodwill

 

Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price and related costs over the value assigned to the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets of businesses acquired. Goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment annually, or when circumstances indicate a possible impairment may exist. Impairment testing is performed at a reporting unit level. An impairment loss generally would be recognized when the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit, with the fair value of the reporting unit determined using a discounted cash flow (“DCF”) analysis. A number of significant assumptions and estimates are involved in the application of the DCF analysis to forecast operating cash flows, including the discount rate, the internal rate of return, and projections of realizations and costs to produce. Management considers historical experience and all available information at the time the fair values of its reporting units are estimated.

 

Impairment of Long-lived Assets

 

The Company recognizes an impairment loss when circumstances indicate that the carrying value of long-lived assets with finite lives may not be recoverable. Management’s policy in determining whether an impairment indicator exists, a triggering event, comprises measurable operating performance criteria at an asset group level as well as qualitative measures. If an analysis is necessitated by the occurrence of a triggering event, the Company uses assumptions, which are predominately identified from the Company’s strategic long-range plans, in determining the impairment amount. In the calculation of the fair value of long-lived assets, the Company compares the carrying amount of the asset group with the estimated future cash flows expected to result from the use of the assets. If the carrying amount of the asset group exceeds the estimated expected undiscounted future cash flows, the Company measures the amount of the impairment by comparing the carrying amount of the asset group with their estimated fair value. We estimate the fair value of assets based on market prices (i.e., the amount for which the asset could be bought by or sold to a third party), when available. When market prices are not available, we estimate the fair value of the asset group using discounted expected future cash flows at the Company’s weighted-average cost of capital. Management believes its policy is reasonable and is consistently applied. Future expected cash flows are based upon estimates that, if not achieved, may result in significantly different results.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Sales of plastic films are reported, net of value added taxes (“VAT”), sales returns, and trade discounts. The standard terms and conditions under which the Company generally delivers allow a customer the right to return product for refund only if the product does not conform to product specifications; the non-conforming product is identified by the customer; and the customer rejects the non-conforming product and notifies the Company within 30 days of receipt for both PRC and overseas customers. The Company recognizes revenue when products are delivered and the customer takes ownership and assumes risk of loss, collection of the relevant receivable is probable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists and the sales price is fixed or determinable.

 

In the PRC, VAT of 17% on the invoice amount is collected in respect to the sales of goods on behalf of tax authorities. The VAT collected is not revenue of the Company; instead, the amount is recorded as a liability on the consolidated balance sheet until such VAT is paid to the authorities.

Income Taxes

 

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

 

Earnings Per Share

 

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net earnings by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing net earnings by the weighted average number of ordinary and dilutive potential ordinary shares outstanding during the year. Diluted potential ordinary shares consist of shares issuable pursuant to the Company’s stock option plan.

 

Share-Based Payments

 

The Company accounts for share based payments under the modified-prospective transition method, which requires companies to measure and recognize the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value.

 

Non-controlling interest

 

Non-controlling interest represents the portion of equity that is not attributable to the Company. The net income (loss) attributable to non-controlling interests are separately presented in the accompanying statements of income and other comprehensive income. Losses attributable to non-controlling interests in a subsidiary may exceed the interest in the subsidiary’s equity. The related non-controlling interest continues to be attributed its share of losses even if that attribution results in a deficit of the non-controlling interest balance.

 

Contingencies

 

In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to contingencies, including legal proceedings and claims arising out of the business that relate to a wide range of matters, including among others, product liability. The Company recognizes a liability for such contingency if it determines it is probable that a loss has occurred and a reasonable estimate of the loss can be made. The Company may consider many factors in making these assessments including past history and the specifics of each matter. As of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the balance of predicted liability was RMB830 (US$135) and RMB830, respectively, which was estimated liability related to our defective products and included in accrued expenses and other payables as current liabilities on balance sheets.

 

Reclassification

 

For comparative purposes, the prior year’s consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to reporting classifications of the current year periods. These reclassifications had no effect on net loss or total net cash flows as previously reported.

Going Concern Matters

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles which contemplate continuation of the company as a going concern. However, as of June 30, 2013 and 2012, the Company had a working capital deficiency of RMB96,575 (US$15,735) and RMB24,960 and accumulated deficit of RMB36,267 (US$5,909) and RMB27,046 from net losses incurred during the first half year of 2013 and 2012. Confronted with the fierce competition in the BOPET industry in China, the Company may still witness losses over the next twelve months. The ability of the Company to operate as a going concern depends upon its ability to obtain outside sources of working capital and/or generate positive cash flow from operations. The Company accordingly has developed an outside financing plan to meet the need of working capital for our operation or debts. At the same time, the Company will continue implementing cost reductions on both manufacturing costs and operating expenses to improve profit margins. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

 

In March 2013, the FASB issued guidance on a parent company’s accounting for the cumulative translation adjustment upon derecognition of a subsidiary or group of assets within a foreign entity. This new guidance requires that the parent company releases any related cumulative translation adjustment into net income only if the sale or transfer results in the complete or substantially complete liquidation of the foreign entity in which the subsidiary or group of assets had resided. The new guidance will be effective for us beginning July 1, 2014. The adoption of this pronouncement is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

 

In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2013-02, which requires entities to present information about significant items reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) by component either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or as a separate disclosure in the notes to the financial statements. This ASU is effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2014. We do not expect the adoption will have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.

 

In July 2012, FASB issued ASU 2012-02, which amends how companies test for impairment of indefinite-lived intangible assets. The new guidance permits a company to assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the annual impairment test. The ASU is effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2014. We do not expect the adoption will have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Pursuant to the terms of the LOI, Shandong Fuwei deposited RMB26,000 (half of the would-be added register capital of RMB52,000), to Joyinn as a prepayment as of June 30, 2008. The prepayment to Joyinn will be regarded as investment payment after all parties enter into the final capital increase and shares expansion agreement during the effective term of this LOI. A share pledging agreement was entered into subsequently on April 9, 2008 between Shandong Fuwei and Shandong Xinmeng Investment Co., Ltd (“Pledger”), which holds 97.6% shares of Joyinn. The Pledger agreed to pledge its 52% interest in Joyinn, as a guarantee to the prepayment on the newly increased register capital made by Shandong Fuwei to Joyinn. Based on the mutual supplementary agreement signed in June 2008, the prepayment was decreased by RMB5,000 and returned to the Company on June 18, 2008.

 

On June 23, 2009, Shandong Fuwei and the Pledger, the major shareholder of Joyinn, agreed that the Pledger would pledge another 19% of its interest in Joyinn in addition to the previous pledge of 52% interest in Joyinn as a guarantee to the prepayment on the newly increased register capital made by Shandong Fuwei to Joyinn. As a result, the Pledger’s percentage of pledged interest in Joyinn increased from 52% to 71%. In the year 2010, the Company impaired the deposit amount by RMB4,240 (US$681). The impairment was determined based on an independent appraisal study.

 

On July 14, 2009, Shandong Fuwei and Joyinn entered into a “Supplementary Agreement of Letter of Intent of Joyinn Capital Increase and Share Expansion” (the “Supplementary Agreement”), which extends the duration of former agreement to two (2) years granting Shandong Fuwei the option to determine whether to continue or withdraw the investment prior to January 14, 2010, the expiration date of the Supplementary Agreement.

 

Upon the expiration of the Supplementary Agreement on January 14, 2010, Shandong Fuwei and the Pledger entered into an agreement pursuant to which the Pledger agreed to transfer a 71% interest in Joyinn to Shandong Fuwei. The transaction is subject to the approval of the authority body of both parties.

 

On March 9, 2012, Shandong Fuwei and the Pledger agreed that prior to the approval of the foregoing share transfer, all the related agreements and share pledge terms and conditions will remain in full force and effect.

 

On November 8, 2012, the Pledger’s ownership of Joyinn was transferred to Weifang State-Owned Assets Operation Administration Company (the “Administration Company”) pursuant to a court order. On December 10, 2012, Shandong Fuwei entered into a Share Pledge Agreement with the Administration Company, as the major shareholder of Joyinn, in which the Administration Company agreed to all the terms and conditions in the LOI and the Supplementary Agreement. The Administration Company, as the new Pledger, agreed to increase the pledged interest by 16.8% to 87.8%.

 

As of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 the total amount of the deposit was RMB16,760 (US$2,731) and RMB16,760, respectively.

 

NOTE 9 – OTHER ASSETS

 

Other assets represent loss on sale-leaseback arrangement with International Far Eastern Leasing Co., Ltd. The loss is treated as compensation for the future rentals paid by Shandong Fuwei at a below-market price. The artificial loss should be deferred and amortized in proportion to the amortization of the related leased assets. As of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the total amount of the other assets was RMB13,393 (US$2,182) and RMB262, respectively.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS  

 

References to "dollars" and "US$" are to United States Dollars. References to "we", "us", the "Company" or "Fuwei Films" include Fuwei Films (Holdings) Co., Ltd. and its subsidiaries, except where the context requires otherwise.

 

In the second quarter of 2013, we continued to be adversely affected by enhanced competition and increased supply over demand in China’s BOPET market. In addition, less demand from overseas as well as anti-dumping measures taken by USA and South Korea caused a decrease in orders from international markets. The foregoing factors have contributed to significant decrease in sales volumes, which resulted in reduced total revenue compared with the second quarter of 2012.

 

We believe that in the coming quarters of 2013, there will be growing capacity of BOPET films in China and stronger competition in the market. Our ability to retain effective control over the pricing of our products on a timely basis is limited due to the enhanced competition in the BOPET market. As a result, we may continue to witness losses in the short to medium term.

Revenue 

 

Our revenue is primarily derived from the manufacture and sale of plastic films.

 

Net sales during the six-month period ended June 30, 2013 were RMB154.0 million (US$25.1 million), compared to RMB183.4 million, during the same period in 2012, representing a decrease of RMB29.4 million or 16.0%, mainly due to the reduction of average sales price by 3.6% arising from stronger competition in China and decrease of total sales volumes by 12.9%. The reduction of average sales price causing a decrease of RMB5.8 million and the sales volume causing a decrease of RMB23.6 million, led to a total revenue decrease of RMB29.4 million.

 

In the six-month period ended June 30, 2013, sales of specialty films were RMB49.6 million (US$8.1 million) or 32.2% of our total revenues as compared to RMB39.1 million or 21.3% in the same period of 2012, which was an increase of RMB10.5 million, or 26.9% as compared to the same period in 2012. The reduction of average sales price causing a decrease of RMB4.9 million and the increase in the sales volume causing an increase of RMB15.4 million, led to a total increase in the sales of specialty films of RMB10.5 million. The increase was largely attributable to the increase in demand for dry films and heat shrinkable films.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Cost of goods sold during the first six months of 2013 totaled RMB157.5 million (US$25.7 million) as compared to RMB184.6 million in the same period of 2012. This was RMB27.1 million or 14.7% lower than the same period in 2012, mainly due to the decreases in sales volumes by 12.9% and unit cost of goods sold by 2.1% compared to the same period in 2012. The lower cost of goods sold of RMB27.1 million is made up by reduction of total unit cost of RMB3.3 million and decrease in sales volume of RMB23.8 million.

 

Gross Loss

 

Our gross loss was RMB3.5 million (US$0.6 million) for the first six months ended June 30, 2013, representing a gross loss rate of 2.3%, as compared to a gross loss rate of 0.6% for the same period in 2012. Correspondingly, gross loss rate increased by 1.7 percentage points. Our average product sales prices decreased by 3.6% compared to the same period last year while the average cost of goods sold decreased by 2.1% compared to the same period last year. Consequently, the amount of decrease in sales revenue was larger than that in cost of goods sold during the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared with the same period in 2012, which resulted in an increase in our gross loss.

 

Operating Expenses  

 

Operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2013 were RMB27.3million (US$4.4 million), compared to RMB22.6 million in the same period in 2012, which was RMB4.7 million or 20.8% more than the same period in 2012. This increase is mainly due to increased R &D expenditure for the first half of 2013.

 

Other Expense

 

Total other expense is a combination result of interest income, interest expense and others income (expense). Total other expense during the first half of 2013 was RMB5.7 million (US$0.9 million), RMB2.5 million more than the same period in 2012, which mainly attributed to the decreased interest income. Among the total other expenses, interest expense totaled RMB5.9 million (US$1.0 million) during the first half of 2013, RMB0.2 million or 3.3% lower than the same period of 2012. The decrease is mainly due to lower principal amount on our bank loans.

 

Income Tax Benefit (Expense)

 

The income tax benefit was RMB0.2 million (US$0.03 million) during the six months ended June 30, 2013, compared to income tax expense of RMB0.1 million during the same period in 2012. This decrease was due to changes in deferred tax for the six months ended June 30, 2013.

 

Net Loss

 

Net loss attributable to the Company during the first half of 2013 was RMB36.3 million (US$5.9 million) compared to net loss attributable to the Company of RMB27.0 million during the same period in 2012, representing an increase of RMB9.3 million from the same period in 2012 due to the factors described above.

Revenue 

 

Net sales during the second quarter ended June 30, 2013 were RMB77.4 million (US$12.6 million), compared to RMB92.4 million during the same period in 2012, representing a decrease of RMB15.0 million or 16.2%, mainly due to the reduction of average sales price by 5.9% arising from stronger competition in China and decrease of total sales volumes by 11.0%. The reduction of average sales price causing a decrease of RMB4.8 million and the sales volume causing a decrease of RMB10.2 million, led to a total revenue decrease of RMB15.0 million.

 

In the second quarter of 2013, sales of specialty films were RMB29.7 million (US$4.8 million) or 38.4% of our total revenues as compared to RMB22.3 million or 24.2% in the same period of 2012, which was an increase of RMB7.4 million, or 33.2% as compared to the same period in 2012. The reduction of average sales price causing a decrease of RMB3.8 million and the increase in the sales volume causing an increase of RMB11.2 million, led to a total increase in the sales of specialty films of RMB7.4 million. The increase was largely attributable to the increase in demand for dry films and heat shrinkable films.

Overseas sales were RMB9.5 million or US$1.5 million, or 12.3% of total revenues, compared with RMB20.1 million or 21.8% of total revenues in the second quarter of 2012. The increase of average sales price caused an increase of RMB0.2 million and the decrease in sales volume resulted in a decrease of RMB10.8 million. The decrease in overseas sales was mainly due to lower demand from international markets and enhanced competition as well as anti-dumping measures taken by the USA and South Korea, which led to a decrease in orders from the overseas markets compared to the same period of 2012.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

  

Operating Expenses  

 

Operating expenses for the second quarter ended June 30, 2013 were RMB13.6 million (US$2.2 million), which was RMB1.5 million, or 12.4% higher than the same period in 2012. This increase was mainly due to increased R&D expenditure on new products in the second quarter of 2013.

Total other expense during the second quarter ended June 30, 2013 was RMB2.4 million (US$0.4 million), RMB0.8 million higher than the same period in 2012, which mainly attributed to decreased interest income. Among the total other expenses, interest expense totaled RMB2.7 million (US$0.4 million) during the second quarter ended June 30, 2013, RMB0.6 million lower than the same period of 2012, which is mainly due to lower principal amount on bank loans.

Net loss attributable to the Company during the second quarter ended June 30, 2013 was RMB18.2 million (US$3.0 million) compared to net loss attributable to the Company of RMB11.9 million during the same period in 2012, representing an increase of RMB6.3 million for the same period in 2012 due to the factors described above.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Our capital expenditures have been primarily from cash generated from our operations and borrowings from financial institutions, including through sale-leaseback transactions. The interest rates of borrowings from financial institutions during the period from the second quarter of 2012 to the second quarter of 2013 ranged from 5.47% to 7.57%.

 

On December 21, 2012, Shandong Fuwei signed a sale-leaseback contract with International Far Eastern Leasing Co., Ltd. (“Far Eastern Leasing”).

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

We paid off four short-term loans totaling RMB110.0 million (US$17.9 million) to Bank of Communications Co., Ltd. in April 2013 and then obtained five new short-term loans from Bank of Communications Co., Ltd. in April and May 2013 for a total amount of RMB105.0 million (US$17.1 million), including: (i) RMB20.0 million (US$3.3 million) on April 18, 2013, maturing on April 2, 2014; (ii) RMB20.0 million (US$3.3 million) on April 19, 2013, maturing on April 11, 2014; (iii) RMB25.0 million (US$4.1 million) on April 23, 2013, maturing on April 16, 2014; (iv) RMB20.0 million (US$3.3 million) on April 25, 2013, maturing on April 18, 2014; and (v) RMB20.0 million (US$3.3 million) on May 2, 2013, maturing on April 24, 2014. The annual interest rate of these bank loans is 7.57%. We obtained one short-term loan from SPD Bank on February 5, 2013 for the amount of RMB2.0 million (US$0.3 million) maturing on August 4, 2013. As of June 30, 2013, the balance of short-term loans is RMB107.0 million (US$17.4 million).

 

On November 20, 2009, we signed a long-term loan agreement of RMB10.0 million (US$1.6 million) with Weifang Dongfang State-owned Assets Management Co., Ltd., with an eight-year loan term, which became effective on October 19, 2009 and will expire on October 18, 2017. From 2015 to 2016, we will make principal installment payments of RMB3.35 million (US$0.5 million) per year with the remaining principal balance of RMB3.30 million (US$0.5 million) due in 2017. The annual interest rate for the loan is the benchmark interest rate for over five-year loans announced by the People’s Bank of China reduced by 10% and the applicable annual interest rate for the period ended June 30, 2013 is 6.12%. The loan is guaranteed by Shandong Deqin Investment& Guarantee Co., Ltd. and is used for our projects.

 

We believe that, after taking into consideration our present and potential future banking facilities, existing cash and the expected cash flows to be generated from our operations, we will have adequate sources of liquidity to meet our short-term obligations and our working capital requirements.

 

Operating Activities

 

Net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was RMB11.2 million (US$1.8 million) compared to net cash provided by operating activities of RMB49.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. This decrease in cash flows from operating activities was primarily attributable to the decrease in cash inflows from accounts and bills receivable, and other current assets.

 

Investing Activities

 

Net cash flows used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was RMB32.4 million (US$5.3 million) compared to net cash flows used in investing activities of RMB36.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012, which is a decrease of RMB4.4 million (US$0.7 million). This decrease in cash flows used in investing activities was attributable primarily to the decreased advance to suppliers in the second quarter of 2012, which resulted in a decrease in cash flows used in investing activities for the first six months of 2013 compared to the same period of 2012.

 

Financing Activities

 

Net cash flows provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was RMB47.8 million (US$7.8 million) compared to net cash flows used in financing activities of RMB15.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012, which is an increase of RMB63.2 million (US$10.3 million). This increase in cash flows provided by financing activities was attributable primarily to an increase in notes payable.

Third Production Line Update

 

Our third production line is still under trial operation. Although the products from this production line have yet to meet the specifications and quality standards specified in the client’s orders on a consistent basis, it has produced some commodity thick films of thickness from 38μm to 250μm, and we are producing some sample diffusion films (a type of TFT-LCD optical film) at 188μm at the request of our clients. We will continue to conduct commissioning and testing to address possible issues and develop new products during the trial operation.

 

Legal Proceedings

 

From time to time, we may be subject to legal actions and other claims arising in the ordinary course of business. Shandong Fuwei is currently a party to two legal proceedings in China.

 

On July 9, 2012, a client filed a lawsuit against Shandong Fuwei over the execution of the Procurement Contract between them in Beijing Daxing District People’s Court. Shandong Fuwei raised a jurisdictional objection when filing the pleading and Beijing Daxing District People’s Court overruled the objection. Shandong Fuwei filed an appeal against the judgment in the First Intermediate People’s Court of Beijing. The appeal was then dismissed on January 23, 2013 and the lawsuit will be heard by Beijing Daxing District People’s Court with a claim at RMB953,113 plus its interest. On May 15, 2013, Beijing Daxing District People’s Court heard the case and the decision is not announced yet.

 

On October 29, 2012, another client of Shandong Fuwei (the “Plaintiff”) filed a lawsuit against Shandong Fuwei over the execution of the Procurement Contract between them in Zhejiang Haining People’s Court. Shandong Fuwei raised a jurisdictional objection when filing the pleading and Zhejiang Haining People’s Court sustained the objection and decided that the lawsuit be heard by Weifang High-Tech District People’s Court. The Plaintiff filed an appeal against the judgment in Zhejiang Jiaxing People’s Court. The appeal was then dismissed and the plaintiff withdrew its charges against Shandong Fuwei on March 5, 2013. Soon afterwards, on March 20, 2013, the court unfroze an amount of RMB770,000 of Shandong Fuwei’s savings, which had been frozen during the hearing of the lawsuit. In early May 2013, this client filed a lawsuit against Shandong Fuwei over the product liability in Zhejiang Haining People’s Court. Pursuant to a court order, an amount of RMB770,000 of Shandong Fuwei’s savings was frozen. Shandong Fuwei then raised a jurisdictional objection which was overruled. Shandong Fuwei filed an appeal against this judgment. The appeal was then dismissed as a final decision and the case is still in the process of hearing.

Fuwei Films Announces Second Quarter Fiscal 2013 Unaudited Financial Results

 

-Teleconference to be Held on Friday, August 23, 2013 at 9:00 am EDT-

 

BEIJING, China, August 22, 2013 - Fuwei Films (Holdings) Co., Ltd. (Nasdaq: FFHL, “Fuwei Films” or the “Company”), a manufacturer and distributor of high-quality BOPET plastic films in China, today announced its unaudited financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2013.

 

Second Quarter 2013 Highlights

 

§ Net sales for the second quarter were RMB77.4 million (US$12.6 million), compared with RMB92.4 million in the same period of 2012.

 

§ Net loss attributable to the Company for the second quarter was RMB18.2 million (US$3.0 million), compared with net loss attributable to the Company of RMB11.9 million in the same period of 2012.

 

§ Net cash used in operating activities during the first six months was RMB11.2 million (US$1.8 million), compared with net cash provided by operating activities RMB49.0 million in the same period of 2012.

 

Mr. Xiaoan He, Chairman and CEO of Fuwei Films, said, “We are still facing strong competition arising from increased supply over demand in the market which is impacting the Company’s quarterly results. However, I am pleased to report that the progress with the third production line is on track. This production line has produced some commodity thick films ranging in thickness from 38μm to 250μm, and the Company is producing sample diffusion films (a type of TFT-LCD optical film) at 188μm at the request of our clients. We will continue to conduct commissioning and testing while developing new products during the trial operation. We believe the addition of the third line is a sound strategy that will help us deliver long-term value for our shareholders.

 

Second Quarter 2013 Results

 

Revenues for the second quarter ended June 30, 2013 were RMB77.4 million (US$12.6 million), representing a decrease of 16.2% from RMB92.4 million in the second quarter of 2012. The decrease in revenues was due to the reduction of average sales price by 5.9% driven by stronger competition in China and a simultaneous decrease in total sales volumes by 11.0%.

 

 
 

 

 

Overseas sales in the second quarter of 2013 were RMB9.5 million or US$1.5 million, or 12.3% of total revenues, compared with RMB20.1 million or 21.8% of total revenues in the second quarter of 2012. The decrease in overseas sales was due to lower demand from international markets and enhanced competition as well as anti-dumping measures taken by the USA and South Korea, which led to a decrease in orders from the overseas markets compared to the second quarter of 2012.

 

The following is a breakdown of domestic versus overseas sales for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 (amounts in thousands):

 

    Three-Month Period Ended  
    June 30, 2013     % of Total     June 30, 2012     % of Total  
      RMB       US$               RMB          
Sales in China     67,906       11,064       87.7 %     72,279       78.2 %
Sales in other countries     9,495       1,547       12.3 %     20,145       21.8 %
                                         
Total     77,401       12,611       100.0 %     92,424       100.0 %

 

Gross loss for the second quarter of 2013 was RMB2.3 million (US$0.4 million) , representing a decrease of 221.1% from a gross profit of RMB1.9 million in the second quarter of 2012. Gross loss margin was 3.0%, as compared to a gross profit margin of 2.0% for the same period in 2012. The decrease of gross margin was primarily due to a 5.9% decrease in average product sales price driven by stronger competition in China which outpaced the decrease in the average cost of goods sold of 1.1% compared to the second quarter of 2012 which contributed to an increase in gross loss for the second quarter of 2013.

 

Operating expenses for the second quarter 2013 were RMB13.6 million (US$2.2 million), representing a 12.4% increase from RMB12.1 million in the second quarter of 2012. The increase was mainly due to increased R&D expenditure on new products in the second quarter of 2013.

 

Operating loss for the second quarter of 2013 was RMB15.9 million (US$2.6 million), compared with operating loss of RMB10.3 million in the same period of 2012.

 

Net loss attributable to the Company for the second quarter of 2013 was RMB18.2 million (US$3.0 million), compared with net loss attributable to the Company of RMB11.9 million in the second quarter of 2012.

 

Basic and diluted net loss per share was RMB1.39 (US$0.23), compared with basic and diluted net loss per share of RMB0.91 in the second quarter of 2012.

 

Total shareholders’ equity was RMB483.0 million (US$78.7 million) as of June 30, 2013, compared with RMB519.2 million as of December 31, 2012.
