NOTE 1 – BACKGROUND
Fuwei Films (Holdings) Co., Ltd. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) are principally engaged in the production and distribution of BOPET film, a high quality plastic film widely used in packaging, imaging, electronics, electrical and magnetic products in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”). The Company is a holding company incorporated in the Cayman Islands, established on August 9, 2004 under the Cayman Islands Companies Law as an exempted company with limited liability. The Company was established for the purpose of acquiring shares in Fuwei (BVI) Co., Ltd. (“Fuwei (BVI)”), an intermediate holding company established for the purpose of acquiring all of the ownership interest in Fuwei Films (Shandong) Co., Ltd. (“Shandong Fuwei”).
On August 20, 2004, the Company was allotted and issued one ordinary share of US$1.00 in Fuwei (BVI) (being the entire issued share capital of Fuwei (BVI)), thereby establishing Fuwei (BVI) as the intermediate investment holding company of the Company.
On April 23, 2009, Fuwei Films USA, LLC was set up and co-invested by Fuwei Films (Holdings) Co., Ltd. and Newell Finance Management Co., Ltd. Fuwei Films USA, LLC has a registered capital of US$10 and total investment amount of US$100. Fuwei Films (Holdings) Co., Ltd. and Newell Finance Management Co., Ltd. own 60% and 40% of the total shares of Fuwei Films USA, LLC, respectively.
NOTE 2 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the 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, 2011. The results of the six-month period ended June 30, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ended December 31, 2012.
Principles of Consolidation
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its three subsidiaries. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates
The preparation of the 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 operations and 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 operations and 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 2012 RMB amounts included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements in our quarterly report have been translated into U.S. dollars at the rate of US$1.00 = RMB6.3530, on the last trading day of second quarter of 2012 (June 29, 2012) 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 29, 2012, 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 Banker’s Acceptance Bill. The Company has restricted cash of RMB40,033 (US$6,301) and RMB102,212 as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.
Trade Accounts Receivable
Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount after deduction of trade discounts, if any, and do not bear interest. The allowance for doubtful accounts is the Company’s best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in the Company’s existing accounts receivable. The Company determines the allowance based on historical write-off experience, customer specific facts and economic conditions.
The Company 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. Cost is determined using the method of moving weighted average basis. Cost of work in progress and finished goods comprises of direct material, direct production cost and an allocated portion of production overheads based on normal operating capacity. Any inventory impairment is recognized in the income statement as a component of cost of goods sold.
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 |

(Unaudited)
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.
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 current portion and non-current portion of lease prepayments have been reported in Prepayments and other receivables, and Lease prepayments 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 more frequently 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.
(Loss) earnings Per Share
Basic (loss) earnings per share is computed by dividing net earnings by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year. Diluted (loss) 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.

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, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the balance of predicted liability was RMB830 (US$132) respectively, which was estimated liability related to our defective products and included in accrued expenses and other payables as current liabilities on balance sheets.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In July 2012, the FASB issued amended standards to simplify how entities test indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment which improve consistency in impairment testing requirements among long-lived asset categories. These amended standards permit an assessment of 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 value. For assets in which this assessment concludes it is more likely than not that the fair value is more than its carrying value, these amended standards eliminate the requirement to perform quantitative impairment testing as outlined in the previously issued standards. These amended standards are effective for us beginning in the fourth quarter of 2012; however, early adoption is permitted. We do not expect these new standards to significantly impact our consolidated condensed financial statements.
In December 2011, the FASB issued guidance on offsetting (netting) assets and liabilities. Entities are required to disclose both gross information and net information about both instruments and transactions eligible for offset in the statement of financial position and instruments and transactions subject to an agreement similar to a master netting arrangement. The new guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after January 1, 2013. We do not expect the adoption will have a significant impact on our consolidated condensed financial statements.
In September 2011, the FASB issued guidance on testing goodwill for impairment. The new guidance provides an entity the option to first perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If an entity determines that this is the case, it is required to perform the currently prescribed two-step goodwill impairment test to identify potential goodwill impairment and measure the amount of goodwill impairment loss to be recognized for that reporting unit (if any). If an entity determines that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, the two-step goodwill impairment test is not required. The new guidance is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011, with early adoption permitted. We do not expect the adoption will have a significant impact on our consolidated condensed financial statements.
In June 2011, the FASB issued guidance on presentation of comprehensive income. The new guidance eliminates the current option to report other comprehensive income and its components in the statement of changes in equity. Instead, an entity will be required to present either a continuous statement of net income and other comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. The new guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. In December 2011, the FASB issued a deferral of certain portion of this guidance. We do not expect the adoption will have a significant impact on our consolidated condensed financial statements.

In May 2011, the FASB issued guidance to amend the accounting and disclosure requirements on fair value measurements. The new guidance limits the highest-and-best-use measure to nonfinancial assets, permits certain financial assets and liabilities with offsetting positions in market or counterparty credit risks to be measured at a net basis, and provides guidance on the applicability of premiums and discounts. Additionally, the new guidance expands the disclosures on Level 3 inputs by requiring quantitative disclosure of the unobservable inputs and assumptions, as well as description of the valuation processes and the sensitivity of the fair value to changes in unobservable inputs. The new guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. We do not expect the adoption will have a significant impact on our consolidated condensed financial statements.
Reclassifications
For comparative purposes, the prior year’s consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform with reporting classifications of the current year periods.

NOTE 8 – LONG-TERM DEPOSIT
On January 20, 2008, Shandong Fuwei signed a “Letter of Intent of Joyinn Capital Increase and Share Expansion” (“LOI”) with Joyinn Hotel Investment & Management Co., Ltd. (“Joyinn”) and the Shareholder of Joyinn. Joyinn is a legal company of limited liability that registered on May 19, 2006 in Beijing, with registered capital of RMB50,000.
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 would be regarded as investment payment after all parties entered into the final capital increase and shares expansion agreement during the effective term of the 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$673). The impairment was determined based on an independent evaluation. As of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 the total amount of the deposit was RMB16,760 (US$2,638) and RMB16,760, 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.
Since the beginning of 2012, the global BOPET films capacity has increased, particularly in China, creating stronger competition in the industry. This caused supply to be higher than demand and a significant decrease in sale prices in the market. In addition, the deterioration of European Sovereign’s debt crisis, the slow recovery of the world’s major economies and more stringent trade protection measures in place, such as antidumping investigations and imposing antidumping duties conducted by several countries against BOPET films originated from China, adversely affected our exports. The foregoing factors have resulted in reduced profit for the first half of 2012, compared to the same period in 2011. However, due to an increase in the sales volume and the slight decrease in the costs of raw materials of specialty films, the gross profit in the second quarter increased compared to that in the first quarter of 2012.
We believe that in the second half of 2012, there will be growing capacity of BOPET films in China and stronger competition in the market. In addition, the prices of raw materials remain high and our ability to pass on all increases in cost of raw materials to our customers on a timely basis is limited. In the event that we are unable to compete successfully or retain effective control over the pricing of our products, our profit margin may decrease.
Results of operations for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2012 compared to June 30, 2011
The table below sets forth certain line items from our Statement of Income as a percentage of revenue:
Six-Month Period Ended | Six-Month Period Ended | |||||||

Revenue
Our revenue is primarily derived from the manufacture and sale of plastic films.
Net sales during the six-month period ended June 30, 2012 were RMB183.4 million (US$28.9 million), compared to RMB311.5 million during the same period in 2011, representing RMB128.1 million or 41.1% decrease, mainly due to the reduction of average sales prices by 38.0% and total sales volumes by 5.0%.
18 |
The sales of specialty films during the six-month period ended June 30, 2012 were RMB39.1 million (US$6.2 million), reflected 21.3% of total net sales as compared to RMB79.5 million and 25.5 % in the same period of 2011, which was a decrease of RMB40.4 million or 50.8% with respect to specialty sales compared to the same period last year. The decrease was largely attributable to the decrease in demand and sales prices for films in electronics and high-end packaging.

Cost of goods sold during the first six months of 2012 totaled RMB184.6 million (US$29.1 million) as compared to RMB243.8 million for the same period in the prior year. This was RMB59.2 million or 24.3% lower than the same period in 2011, mainly due to the decreased price of raw materials in the first six months of 2012 compared to the same period in 2011.
Gross Profit (Loss)
Our gross loss was RMB1.1 million (US$0.2 million) for the first six months of 2012, representing a gross margin of (0.6)%, as compared to a gross margin of 21.7% from the same period in 2011. Gross margin decreased by 22.3% compared to the same period in 2011. Our average unit sales price decreased by 38.0% compared to the same period last year due to the excess capacity and stronger competition in the market. In addition, the main raw materials used in our production of BOPET film, polyethylene terephthalate (or PET) resin and additives, comprised approximately 74.5% of our total costs of goods sold and their prices were greatly influenced by price fluctuation in crude oil. Our raw materials costs were reduced by 20.3% compared to the same period last year. Consequently, the decrease in product sales price largely exceeded that in raw material costs during the first half of 2012 compared with the same period in 2011, which contributed to the significant decrease in our gross profit.

Operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2012 were RMB22.6 million (US$3.6 million), compared to RMB27.9 million in the same period in 2011, which was RMB5.3 million or 19.0% lower than the same period in 2011. This decrease is mainly due to reduced R&D expenditure for the first half of 2012.

Total other expense during the first half of 2012 was RMB3.2 million (US$0.5 million), RMB0.7 million lower than the same period in 2011, which mainly attributed to other income from disposal of asset. Among the total other expenses, interest expense totaled RMB6.1 million (US$1.0 million) during the first half of 2012, RMB1.4 million or 28.1% higher than the same period of 2011. The increase is mainly due to higher interest rates on our bank loans.
Provision for Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes during the first six months of 2012 was RMB0.1 million (US$0.02 million) compared to a recorded provision for income taxes of RMB6.1 million during the same period in 2011, which was RMB6.0 million or 98.4% lower than the same period in 2011.This decrease was due to loss in the first six months of 2012.

The sales of specialty films during the second quarter ended June 30, 2012 were RMB22.3 million (US$3.5 million), reflected 24.2% of total net sales as compared to RMB39.6 million and 28.9 % in the same period of 2011, which was a decrease of RMB17.3 million or 43.7% with respect to specialty sales compared to the same period last year.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Since inception, our sources of cash were mainly from cash generated from our operations and borrowings from financial institutions and capital contributed by our shareholders.
23 |
From January 1, 2011 to June 30, 2012, our capital expenditures were financed primarily from cash generated from our operations and borrowings from financial institutions. The interest rates of borrowings from financial institutions during the periods from second quarter of 2011 to the second quarter of 2012 ranged from 0% to 7.87%.
We obtained five short-term loans from Bank of Communications Co., Ltd. on May 8, 2012, May 9, 2012 and May 11, 2012, for a total amount of RMB120,000 (US$18,889), including: (i) RMB30,000 (US$4,723) on May 8, 2012, maturing on April 5, 2013; (ii) two bank loans each for the amount of RMB35,000 (US$5,509) on May 9, 2012, maturing on April 15, 2013 and April 26, 2013, respectively; and (iii) two bank loans each for the amount of RMB10,000 (US$1,574) on May 11, 2012, maturing on December 26, 2012 and May 7, 2013, respectively. The annual interest rate of the new bank loans has increased by 20% compared with the benchmark interest rate announced by the People’s Bank of China on the date when the loan was credited to the Company’s bank account. As of June 30, 2012, the new loan annual interest rate is 7.87%. The Company made two payments, each for the amount of RMB30,000 (US$4,764) and RMB18,501 (US$2,937) to the Bank of Communications in April, 2012. The Company paid off three short-term loans to the Bank of Communications in May, 2012, each for the amount of RMB30,000 (US$4,764), RMB35,000 (US$5,558) and RMB35,000 (US$5,558), respectively.
On April 26, 2011, pursuant to a contract between Shandong Fuwei and Lindauer Dornier GmbH (“Dornier”), Shandong Fuwei wired a prepayment of 2,006 Euros (RMB18,501) to Dornier through Bank of Communications, and Shandong Fuwei made a deposit of RMB 18,501 to Bank of Communications. In addition, in order to save the foreign exchange charges, Bank of Communications provided a one-year loan of 2,006 Euros (RMB18,501) to Shandong Fuwei, with a term starting on April 26, 2011 to April 25, 2012 with an annual interest of 4.27%. The Company paid off the bank loan on April 25, 2012.
On November 20, 2009, we signed a long-term loan agreement of RMB10,000 (US$1,574) 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, the Company will make principal installment payments of RMB3,350 (US$527) per year with the remaining principal balance of RMB3,300 (US$519) 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, 2012 is 6.35%. 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 banking facilities, existing cash and the expected cash flows to be generated from our operations, we have adequate sources of liquidity to meet our short-term obligations and our working capital.
Operating Activities
Net cash flows provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2012 was RMB82.1 million (US$12.9 million) compared to net cash flows used in operating activities of RMB9.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011, which is an increase of RMB91.5 million (US$14.4 million). This increase in cash flows from operating activities was attributable primarily to the decrease in accounts receivables and increase in notes payable. In the first six months of this year, we took actions to collect overdue from our customers and started to utilize notes payable for the payment to our suppliers, which resulted in an increase in cash flows.
24 |
Investing Activities
Net cash flows used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2012 was RMB36.8 million (US$5.8 million) compared to net cash flows used in investing activities of RMB94.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011, which is an decrease of RMB58.0 million (US$9.1 million). This decrease in cash flows used in investing activities was attributable primarily to the decreased restricted cash resulting from returned deposit upon the expiration of the letters of credit in the second quarter of 2012, which resulted in a decrease in cash flows used in investing activities for the first six months of 2012 compared to the same period of 2011.
Financing Activities
Net cash flows used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2012 was RMB48.5 million (US$7.6 million) compared to net cash flows provided by financing activities of RMB11.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011, which is an decrease of RMB60.0 million (US$9.4 million). This decrease in cash flows provided by financing activities was attributable primarily to repayment to banks for short-term loans in April and May 2012.
Working Capital
As of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, we had working capital of RMB(25.0) million ( US$(3.9) million) and RMB76.4 million, respectively. Working capital decreased RMB101.4 million (US$16.0 million), or 132.7% compared to that at the end of prior year. We have short-term bank loans RMB120.0 million (US$18.9 million) reported within current liabilities. We intend to repay RMB10.0 million (US$1.6 million) of short-term loans at maturity date on December 26, 2012, RMB100.0 million (US$15.7 million) and RMB10.0 million (US$1.6 million) at maturity in April and May 2013, respectively.
We anticipate that we will be in deficit with working capital in the foreseeable future. However, we may wish to borrow additional capital or sell our common stock for financing in the expanded business.
Update on the Construction of Third Production Line
We have made significant progress in the construction of our third production line (for thick films). The equipment arrived at Fuwei Films in May of 2012 as scheduled and as of the end of July 2012, all of the equipment has arrived and the installation has commenced. If the construction plan is implemented as planned and we can obtain additional funding, we expect to receive all the other equipment by the end of September 2012 and complete the installation by the end of October 2012 and start trial operation of the line by the end of this year. In addition, we have started the R&D for our thick films to be manufactured by this production line including high-performance electric insulation film, base film for solar backsheet and TFT-LCD optical film.
