FYI
We would also like to clarify with you on the following items:
A. Revenue Breakdown (FY2011 to YTD Oct 2014)
Attached, please find the Revenue breakdown summary that we prepared based on information we received.
There are a few issues that we need to clarify with you:
1) Discrepancy on revenue in FY2013: RMB 252.4M (Cell I82) vs. RMB 264.0M (Audit report). What is the difference?
2) Sales Volume:
- It seems that Company generated substantial inventory of White fiber in 2012. What is the status of those inventory? Do we need to write down those dated inventory?
- Why the YTD Oct 2014 sales volume dropped (White: only 1866 tons; Color: Only 269 tons)? Any chance that it can reach to the full year target level? If not, what will be the estimated volume for FY2014?
- We thought there are small sales volume of discrete paper for high voltage and honeycomb in YTD Oct 2014? Why there isn’t any? What will be the target volume for FY2014?
3) Sale Price:
- Why sales price for Color dropped in YTD Oct 2014 when the market conditions was supposed to be improved?
- Why sales price for 328 dropped in YTD Oct 2014 (RMB 111,073/ton) vs. FY2013 of RMB 126,717
- Why sales price for 630 dropped in YTD Oct 2014 (RMB 155,545/ton) vs. FY2013 of RMB 163,526
4) COGS and COGS/ton
- I obtained the COGS total amount from the Goldstone report (P.27-28) for each products between FY2011 and FY2013
- Why the COGS/ton figures for all products increased in FY2013 over FY2012?
- What is the COGS/Ton for YTD Oct 2014?
5) Gross Margin:
- Please clarify the implied gross margin figures are substantially different from those we obtained from AIF (shown below). Which set is correct?
- Why there was a substantial gross margin for 630 in FY2013?
- What are the gross margins for each product category in YTD Oct 2014?
B. YTD Oct 2014 Financials
1. Cash Balance
- According to the Oct Report (seems not fully consolidated) , ending cash balance is only RMB 6.6M vs. RMB 23.9M shown under the Consolidated Sept 2014 account. The beginning balances of the 2 reports (Sept and Oct) are different as well. Please kindly confirm which set is correct
2. Other Payables
- Based on our understanding, this should refer to the loans from Shareholder and should have a remaining balance of ~RMB 10M.
- According to the Oct Report, only RMB 6.5M is reported. Is that correct or is that amount increased from RMB 6.5M to ~RMB 10M since Oct? What is the latest amount?
3. Other Receivables
- What are the key components of the substantial amount of RMB 96.5M as of Oct 31st as it was only RMB 5.9M reported in the Consolidated Sept account?
4. Capitalized R&D Expense
- Why there was RMB 16.2M capitalized R&D expenses in Oct 2014? Can this fulfil the requirements of the auditor at year-end audit?
5. Bank Loan
- Why the bank loan shown in Oct 2014 was only RMB 228M vs. RMB 392M as we were told and shown in the Consolidated Sep 2014 account?
6. YTD Oct 2014 P&L
- Net profit of RMB 34M for YTD Oct 2014 is based on a interest expense of only RMB 16.4M.
- If the entire loan of RMB 392M was considered the total interest expense should be ~RMB 34M (full year 2014) or at least RMB 28M (YTD Oct 2014)
- If all the interest expense is considered, what is the consolidated net profit for the Group in YTD Oct 2014?
To avoid any confusion and help us conduct a reasonable projection for FY2014, please kindly provide a “fully consolidated” YTD Oct 2014 account which include all items not being reflected under the current version.
Please kindly help us clarify the above issues as we have very limited in preparing our internal materials.
