CHINA XD PLASTICS COMPANY LIMITED AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1 - Basis of presentation, significant concentrations and risks

(a) Basis of presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted as permitted by rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2018 was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements of China XD Plastics Company Limited ("China XD") and subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company"). The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of December 31, 2018, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the year then ended, included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on April 15, 2019.

In the opinion of the management, all adjustments (which include normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present a fair statement of the financial position as of September 30, 2019, the results of operations and cash flows for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, have been made.

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include the recoverability of the carrying amounts of property, plant and equipment, the realizability of inventories, the useful lives of property, plant and equipment, the collectability of accounts receivable, the fair values of stock-based compensation awards, the accruals for tax uncertainties and other contingencies, and the discount rate used to determine the present value of the lease payments. The current economic environment has increased the degree of uncertainty inherent in those estimates and assumptions.

(b) Accounting pronouncement adopted in 2019

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) ("ASU 2016-02"). The new guidance requires the recognition of lease assets and liabilities for operating leases with terms of more than 12 months, in addition to those currently recorded, on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Presentation of leases within the consolidated statements of comprehensive income and consolidated statements of cash flows will be generally consistent with the current lease accounting guidance. The Company has adopted this ASU on January 1, 2019 using a modified retrospective approach by recognizing a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. This adoption approach resulted in a balance sheet presentation that was not be comparable to the prior period in the first year of adoption. Additionally, the Company used the package of practical expedients that allowed the Company to not reassess: (1) whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases, (2) lease classification for any expired or existing leases and (3) initial direct costs for any expired or existing leases. The Company also elected the hindsight practical expedient to determine the reasonably certain lease term for existing leases. The adoption of the standard resulted in recognition of right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities of approximately US$16.1 million and US$16.8 million, respectively, as of January 1, 2019. The difference between the initial operating right-of-use asset and operating lease liability of US$0.7 million was accrued rent previously recognized under ASC 840. There was no cumulative effect on retained earnings as of January 1, 2019 as a result of adoption.

In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-02, Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (“ASU 2018-02”). The new guidance allows a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and will improve the usefulness of information reported to financial statement users. The Company has adopted the standard on January 1, 2019, and there was no material impact on its consolidated financial statements as a result of the adoption.

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-07, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting (“ASU 2018-07”). The new guidance largely aligns the accounting for share-based awards issued to employees and nonemployees. Existing guidance for employee awards will apply to non-employee share-based transactions with limited exceptions. The new guidance also clarifies that any share based payment awards issued to customers should be evaluated under ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The Company has adopted the standard on January 1, 2019, and there was no material impact on its consolidated financial statements as a result of the adoption.

(c) Significant concentrations and risks

Sales concentration

The Company sells its products primarily through approved distributors in the People's Republic of China (the "PRC"). The Company's sales are highly concentrated. Sales to distributors individually exceeded 10% of the Company's revenues for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, are as follows:

	Three-Month Period Ended September 30,
	2019					2018
	US$		%			US$		%
Distributor A, located in PRC		48,354,258		13.0	%		43,675,493		14.8	%
Distributor B, located in PRC		41,236,907		11.1	%		38,087,744		12.8	%
Distributor C, located in PRC		31,224,911		8.4	%		34,620,819		11.6	%
Total		120,816,076		32.5	%		116,384,056		39.2	%

	Nine-Month Period Ended September 30,
	2019					2018
	US$		%			US$		%
Distributor A, located in PRC		163,355,649		14.4	%		136,172,680		14.7	%
Distributor B, located in PRC		115,842,572		10.2	%		114,870,175		12.4	%
Distributor C, located in PRC		86,271,299		7.6	%		105,340,424		11.4	%
Total		365,469,520		32.2	%		356,383,279		38.5	%

The Company expects revenues from these distributors to continue to represent a substantial portion of its revenue in the future. Any factor adversely affecting the automobile industry in the PRC or the business operations of these customers will have a material effect on the Company's business, financial position and results of operations.

Purchase concentration of raw materials and equipment

The principal raw materials used for the Company's production of modified plastics products are plastic resins, such as polypropylene, ABS and nylon. The Company purchases substantially all of its raw materials through a limited number of distributors. Raw material purchases from these distributors, which individually exceeded 10% of the Company's total raw material purchases, accounted for approximately 31.6% (three distributors) and 43.2% (four distributors) for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and 32.6% (three distributors) and 20.4% (two distributors) of the Company's total raw materials purchases for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Management believes that other suppliers could provide similar raw materials on comparable terms. A change in suppliers, however, could cause a delay in manufacturing and a possible loss of sales, which would adversely affect the Company's business, financial position and results of operations.

Cash concentration

Cash and cash equivalents and short-term restricted cash mentioned below maintained at banks consist of the following:

	September 30, 2019		December 31, 2018
		US$		US$
Renminbi (“RMB”) denominated bank deposits with:
Financial Institutions in the PRC		235,011,468		366,773,172
Financial Institutions in Hong Kong Special Administrative Region ("Hong Kong SAR")		—		8,134
United States (“U.S.”) dollar denominated bank deposits with:
Financial Institution in the U.S.		16,730		40,390
Financial Institutions in the PRC		16,930		17,050
Financial Institution in Hong Kong SAR		78,930		131,892
Financial Institution in Macau Special Administrative Region ("Macau SAR")		910		6,144
Financial Institution in Dubai, UAE		3,518		14,464
Hong Kong dollar denominated bank deposits with:
Financial institution in Hong Kong SAR		8,290		156
Dirham denominated bank deposits with:
Financial institution in Dubai, UAE		19,966		438

The bank deposits with financial institutions in the PRC are insured by the government authority for up to RMB500,000. The bank deposits with financial institutions in the Hong Kong SAR are insured by the government authority for up to HK$500,000. The bank deposits with financial institutions in the Macau SAR are insured by the government authority for up to MOP$500,000. The bank deposits with financial institutions in the Dubai, UAE are not insured by the government authority. Total bank deposits amounting to US$1,372,734 and US$1,442,481 were insured as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. The Company has not experienced any losses in uninsured bank deposits and does not believe that it is exposed to any significant risks on cash held in bank accounts. To limit exposure to credit risk, the Company primarily places bank deposits with large financial institutions in the PRC, Hong Kong SAR, Macau SAR and Dubai, UAE with acceptable credit rating.

Cash deposits in bank that are restricted as to withdrawal or usage for up to 12 months are reported as restricted cash in the consolidated balance sheets.

Short-term bank deposits that are pledged as collateral for bills payable relating to purchases of raw materials are reported as restricted cash and amounted to US$129,879,525 and US$202,568,664 as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. Upon maturity and repayment of the bills payable, which is generally within 6 months, the cash becomes available for use by the Company.

Short-term bank deposits that are related to government grant are reported as restricted cash and amounted to US$1,430,537 and US$1,469,935 as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

Short-term bank deposits that are pledged as collateral for issuance of letter of guarantee are reported as restricted cash amounted to US$42,575,237 and US$70,885,301 as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

Short-term bank deposits that are pledged as repayment to settle US$45.0 million of syndicated loans obtained from Standard Chartered Bank are reported as restricted cash and amounted to US$49,348,194 and US$50,766,123 as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

Short-term bank deposits that are pledged as collateral to settle US$14.9 million of short-term bank loans obtained from Postal Savings Bank of China are reported as restricted cash and amounted to US$1,413,847 and nil as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

Note 11– Income tax

Pursuant to an approval from the local tax authority in July 2013, Sichuan Xinda, a subsidiary of China XD, became a qualified enterprise located in the western region of the PRC, which entitled it to a preferential income tax rate of 15% from January 1, 2013 to December 31, 2020. Under the current laws of Dubai, Dubai Xinda, a subsidiary of China XD, is exempted from income taxes.

The effective income tax rates for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 were 14.8% and 12.9%, respectively. The effective income tax rate increased from 12.9% for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018 to 14.8% for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2019, primarily due to the decrease of Sichuan Xinda’s profit before tax (“PBT”) percentage within the consolidating entities. The effective income tax rate for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2019 differs from the PRC statutory income tax rate of 25% primarily due to Sichuan Xinda's preferential income tax rate, the reversal of the unrecognized tax benefits accrued in year 2013 and 75% additional deduction of R&D expenses of the major PRC operating entities.

US$3,572,637 previously unrecognized tax benefits accrued in year 2013 and the related accrued interest amounting to US$3,116,216 were reversed due to the expiration of five-year tax assessment period on May 31, 2019. As of September 30, 2019, the unrecognized tax benefits were US$33,663,442 and the interest relating to unrecognized tax benefits was US$12,376,126, of which the unrecognized tax benefits in year 2014 amounting to US$5,578,390 and related accrued interest amounting to US$4,351,145 were classified as current liabilities as the five-year tax assessment period will expire on May 31, 2020. No penalties expense related to unrecognized tax benefits were recorded. The Company is currently unable to provide an estimate of a range of the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits that is reasonably possible to change significantly within the next twelve months.

Note 12 – Deferred Income

On January 26, 2015, the Company entered into a memorandum and a fund support agreement (the "Agreement") with the People's Government of Shunqing District, Nanchong City, Sichuan Province ("Shunqing Government") pursuant to which Shunqing Government, through its investment vehicle, extended to the Company RMB350 million (equivalent to US$49.5 million) to support the construction of the Sichuan plant, which has been received in full in the form of government repayment of bank loans on behalf of the Company.

In addition, the Company has received RMB333.2 million (equivalent to US$47.1 million) from Shunqing Government and RMB6.4 million (equivalent to US$0.9 million) from Ministry of Finance of the People's Republic of China to support the construction and RMB2.2 million (equivalent to US$0.3 million) special funds of ministerial key research projects from Ministry of Science and Technology of PRC as of September 30, 2019.

The Company has also received RMB45.0 million (equivalent to US$6.4 million) from Harbin Bureau of Finance for Biomedical composites project as of September 30, 2019.

Since the funding is related to the construction of long-term assets, the amounts were recognized as government grant, which is included in deferred income on the consolidated balance sheets, and to be recognized as other income in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income over the periods and in the proportions in which depreciation expense on the long-term assets is recognized.

The Sichuan factory has been operational since July 2016. A cumulative RMB97.1 million (equivalent to US$13.8 million) government grants have been amortized as other income proportionate to the depreciation of the related assets, of which RMB25.5 million (equivalent to US$3.6 million) was amortized in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2019.

The Company also received RMB36.0 million (equivalent to US$5.1 million) from Shunqing Government with respect to interest subsidy for bank loans.

Note 20 - Gains on disposal of a subsidiary

On November 13, 2018, HLJ Xinda Group entered into an agreement with Shanghai Sales, to transfer the wholly owned equity of Heilongjiang Xinda Enterprise Group (Shanghai) New Materials Research and Development Co., Ltd. ("Shanghai New Materials R&D") from HLJ Xinda Group to Shanghai Sales with no consideration as a result of group restructuring to streamline resources and improve operating efficiency.

The legal transfer was completed on February 1, 2019 and the Company recorded gains of US$0.5 million on disposal of Shanghai New Materials R&D for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2019.

Note 21 - Leases

As discussed in Note 1, effective January 1, 2019, the Company adopted Topic 842. At the inception of a contract, the Company determines if the arrangement is, or contains, a lease. ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent its obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. Rent expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The Company has made certain accounting policy elections whereby it does not recognize ROU assets or lease liabilities for short-term leases (those with original terms of 12-months or less). All of the Company’s existing leases as of September 30, 2019 were classified as operating leases. As of September 30, 2019, the Company had operating leases for land and office with remaining terms expiring from 2022 through 2037 and a weighted average remaining lease term of 17.5 years. Weighted average discount rate used in the calculation of the lease liabilities was 6.7%. The discount rate reflects the estimated incremental borrowing rate, which includes an assessment of the credit rating to determine the rate that the Company would have to pay to borrow, on a collateralized basis for a similar term, an amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment.

Lease cost for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2019 is as follows:

	Nine-Month Period Ended September 30,
	2019
		US$
Operating lease cost		1,271,455

Overview

China XD is one of the leading specialty chemical companies engaged in the research, development, manufacture and sale of modified plastics primarily for automotive applications in China, and to a lesser extent, in Dubai, UAE. Through our wholly-owned operating subsidiaries in China and UAE, we develop modified plastics using our proprietary technology, manufacture and sell our products primarily for use in the fabrication of automobile parts and components. We have 595 certifications from manufacturers in the automobile industry as of September 30, 2019. We are the only company certified as a National Enterprise Technology Center in modified plastics industry in Heilongjiang province. Our Research and Development (the "R&D") team consists of 137 professionals and 7 consultants. As a result of the integration of our academic and technological expertise, we have a portfolio of 463 patents, 32 of which we have obtained the patent rights and the remaining 431 of which we have applications pending in China as of September 30, 2019.

Our products include twelve categories: Modified Polypropylene (PP), Modified Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS), Modified Polyamide 66 (PA66), Modified Polyamide 6 (PA6), Modified Polyoxymethylenes (POM), Modified Polyphenylene Oxide (PPO), Plastic Alloy, Modified Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS), Modified Polyimide (PI), Modified Polylactic acid (PLA), Poly Ether Ether Ketone (PEEK), and Polyethylene (PE).

The Company's products are primarily used in the production of exterior and interior trim and functional components of 31 automobile brands and 103 automobile models manufactured in China, including Audi, Mercedes Benz, BMW, Toyota, Buick, Chevrolet, Mazda, Volvo, Ford, Citroen, Jinbei, VW Passat, Golf, Jetta, etc. Our research center is dedicated to the research and development of modified plastics, and benefits from its cooperation with well-known scientists from prestigious universities in China. We operate three manufacturing plants in Harbin, Heilongjiang in the PRC. As of September 30, 2019, in Harbin, Heilongjiang Province, we had approximately 290,000 metric tons of production capacity across 64 automatic production lines utilizing German twin-screw extruding systems, automatic weighing systems and Taiwanese conveyer systems. In December 2013, we broke ground on the construction of our fourth production plant in Nanchong City, Sichuan Province, with additional 300,000 metric tons of annual production capacity, which we expect will bring total domestic installed production capacity to 590,000 metric tons with the addition of 70 new production lines upon the completion of the construction of our fourth production plant. Sichuan Xinda has been supplying to its customers since 2013. We installed 50 production lines in the second half of 2016 in our Sichuan plant with production capacity of 216,000 metric tons during the year of 2017 and an additional 10 production lines in July 2018, bringing the total capacity to 259,200 metric tons. As of September 30, 2019, there is still construction ongoing on the site of our Sichuan plant which is to be expected to be completed by the end of the fourth quarter of 2019. In order to develop potential overseas markets, Dubai Xinda obtained one leased property and two purchased properties, approximately 52,530 square meters in total, including one leased 10,000 square meters, and two purchased 20,206 and 22,324 square meters on January 25, 2015, June 28, 2016 and September 21, 2016, respectively, from Jebel Ali Free Zone Authority ("JAFZA") in Dubai, UAE, with constructed building comprising warehouses, offices and service blocks. In addition to the earlier 10 trial production lines in Dubai Xinda, the Company completed installing 45 production lines with 11,250 metric tons of annual production capacity by the end of November 2018, and an additional 40 production lines with 13,000 metric tons of annual production capacity were still in construction ongoing, expected to be completed by the end of 2019, bringing total installed production capacity in Dubai Xinda to 24,250 metric tons, targeting high-end products for the overseas market.

In July 2017, the HLJ Xinda Group launched new industrial development project with the Management Committee of Harbin Economic-Technological Development Zone.

Revenues

Revenues were US$373.2 million in the third quarter ended September 30, 2019, representing an increase of US$76.0 million, or 25.6%, compared to US$297.2 million in the same period of last year,as a combined result of: i) an increase of 52.3% in the average RMB selling price of our products; and partially offset by ii) a decrease of15.5% in sales volume; and iii) a depreciation of RMB against US dollars by 3.8%, as compared with those of last year.

(i) Domestic market

For the three-month period ended September 30, 2019, revenues from domestic market increased by US$55.1 million or 18.5% compared with that in the same period of last year, as a combined result of: i) an increase of 47.3% in the average RMB selling price of our products; partially offset by ii) a decrease of 17.4% in sales volume; andiii) a depreciation ofRMB against US dollars by 3.8%, as compared with those of last year.

According to the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers, automobile production and sales in China decreased by 11.4% and 10.3%, respectively, for the first nine months of 2019 as compared to the same period of 2018. The weakening in macroeconomic conditions since summer of 2018 continued to exacerbate automobile business environment, but thanks to our positive efforts to expand our marketing areas and customer bases and to meet their new requirements, the Company has achieved sales growth of 51.6% in Central China, 45.9% in North China, 30.1% in Southwest China, 28.3% in Northeast China, and 0.9% in East China, partially offset by the sales decrease of 12.9% in Southern China.

As for the RMB selling price, the increase of 47.3% was mainly due to: i) increased sales of new categories of higher-end products of PA66 and PA6 produced with high-priced raw materials with higher selling price in domestic market; and ii) sales of high-priced work in progress in domestic market during the three-month period ended September 30, 2019.

(ii) Overseas market

For the three-month period ended September 30, 2019, revenues from overseas market were US$20.9 million as compared to US$2,104 of the same period of 2018.

After a successful trial production at our production base in Dubai in November 2018, the Company has established business relationships with new customers in UAE and India, and shipped products to the end users in Europe and Southeast Asia. We are optimistic about the prospect of our business expansion overseas.

The majority of the projects are in the field of modified plastics in automotive applications and the rest are in advanced fields such as ships, airplanes, high-speed rail, medical devices, etc.

Operating Income

Total operating income was US$33.8 million in the third quarter ended September 30, 2019 compared to US$13.0 million in the same period of 2018, representing an increase of 160.0% or US$20.8 million. This increase was primarily due to the higher gross profit, lower selling expenses, G&A expenses and R&D expenses.

Effective income tax rate		24.8	%		(65.1	)%					89.9	%

The effective income tax rates for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 were 24.8% and -65.1%, respectively. The increase of effective income tax rate was primarily due to:i) the decrease of Sichuan Xinda’s profit before tax (“PBT”) percentage within the consolidating entities; and ii) the decrease of additional deduction of R&D expenses. The effective income tax rate for the three-month period ended September 30, 2019 differs from the PRC statutory income tax rate of 25% primarily due to Sichuan Xinda's preferential income tax rate, and 75% additional deduction of R&D expenses of the major PRC operating entities, partially offset by the increase of valuation allowance against deferred income tax assets of certain subsidiaries, which were at cumulative loss position.

Our PRC and Dubai subsidiaries have US$235.2 million of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash as of September 30, 2019, which are planned to be indefinitely reinvested in the PRC and Dubai. Due to our policy of indefinitely reinvesting our earnings in our PRC business, we have not provided for deferred income tax liabilities related to PRC withholding income tax on undistributed earnings of our PRC subsidiaries. In addition, due to our policy of indefinitely reinvesting our earnings in Dubai, UAE, we have not provided for deferred income tax liabilities related to Dubai Xinda in Dubai, UAE, on undistributed earnings. The undistributed earnings as of December 31, 2017 were subject to the one-time repatriation tax under the Tax Act as a deemed repatriation of accumulated undistributed earnings from the foreign subsidiaries. However, the Company continues to plan to indefinitely reinvest its earnings in PRC and Dubai subsequent to the Tax Act.

Net Income

As a result of the above factors, we had a net income of US$17.0 million in the third quarter of 2019 compared to a net income of US$9.0 million in the same quarter of 2018.

Nine-month period ended September 30, 2019 compared to nine-month period ended September 30, 2018

Revenues

Revenues were US$1,137.7 million in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2019, an increase of US$212.7 million, or 23.0%, compared with US$925.0 million in the same period of last year, as a combined result of: i) an increase of 40.7% in the average RMB selling price of our products; and partially offset by ii) a decrease of 8.1% in sales volume; and iii) a depreciation of RMB against US dollars by 6.9%, as compared with those of last year.

(i) Domestic market

For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2019, revenue from domestic market increased by US$168.5 million or 18.2% compared with that in the same period of last year, as a combined result of: i) an increase of 37.4% in the average RMB selling price of our products;and partially offset by ii) a decrease of 9.5% in sales volume; iii) a depreciation ofRMB against US dollars by 6.9% as compared with those of last year.

According to the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers, automobile production and sales in China decreased by 11.4% and 10.3%, respectively, for the first nine months of 2019 as compared to the same period of 2018. The weakening in macroeconomic conditions since summer of 2018 continued to exacerbate automobile business environment, but thanks to our positive efforts to expand our customer bases and to meet their new requirements, the Company has achieved sales growth of 52.4% in Northeast China, 22.3% in North China, 22.2% in Central China, 2.8% in Southwest China, and 0.8% in Southern China, partially offset by the sales decrease of 5.3% in East China.

As for the RMB selling price, the increase of 37.4% was mainly due to: i) increased sales of new categories of higher-end products of PA66 and PA6 produced with high-priced raw materials with higher selling price in domestic markets; and ii) sales of high-priced work in progress in domestic market during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2019.

Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash decreased by 35.9% or US$131.9 million due to the operating cash outflows. Inventories increased by 12.7% as a result of more purchases of the raw materials and the Company's strategy to stock up the finished goods for the upcoming orders. Prepaid expenses and other current assets increased by 77.5% or US$102.4 million because (i) advances to suppliers for purchasing raw materials increased by US$69.2 million; (ii) other receivables increased by US$42.8 million; (iii) other prepaid expenses decreased by US$9.6 million, which mainly included prepaid miscellaneous service fee and staff advance, and value added taxes receivables. The aggregate short-term and long-term bank loans increased by 6.5% due to using the line of credits to support operating and investing activities in HLJ Xinda Group and Sichuan Xinda. We define the manageable debt level as the sum of aggregate short-term and long-term loans over total assets.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Historically, our primary uses of cash have been to finance working capital needs and capital expenditures for new production lines. We have financed these requirements primarily from cash generated from operations, bank borrowings and the issuance of our convertible preferred stocks and debt financings. As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, we had US$235.1 million and US$367.0 million, respectively, in cash and restricted cash, which were primarily deposited with banks in China (including Hong Kong and Macau SAR), UAE and U.S. As of September 30, 2019, we had US$619.5 million outstanding short-term bank loans (including the current portion of long-term bank loans), including US$310.2 million unsecured loan and US$63.6 million loans secured by accounts receivable, US$59.1 million loans secured by restricted cash, and US$186.6 long-term bank loans that due in one year. We also had US$276.5 million long-term loans (excluding the current portion), including US$70.7 million loans secured by right of equity income, US$1.5 million loans secured by an undated security cheque, and US$204.3 million unsecured loans. Short-term and long-term bank loans in total bear a weighted average interest rate of 5.0% per annum and do not contain any renewal terms.

As of September 30, 2019, we have contractual obligations to (i) lease commitments in the amount of US$28.0 million, including US$1.4 million due in one year; (ii) equipment acquisition and facility construction in the amount of US$272.2 million; and (iii) long-term bank loan in the amount of US$507.6 million (including principals and interests).

We expect that we will be able to meet our needs to fund operations, capital expenditures and other commitments in the next 12 months primarily with our cash and cash equivalents, operating cash flows and bank borrowings.

We may, however, require additional cash resources due to changes in business conditions or other future developments. If these sources are insufficient to satisfy our cash requirements, we may seek to sell additional equity or debt securities or obtain a credit facility. The sale of additional equity or equity-linked securities could result in additional dilution to stockholders. The incurrence of indebtedness would result in increased debt service obligations and could result in operating and financial covenants that would restrict operations. Financing may not be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, or at all.

Net cash provided by the financing activities was US$89.4 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2019, as compared to US$22.8 million used in financing activities for the same period of last year, primarily as a result of (i) the increase of the proceeds of US$927.2 million from bank borrowings for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2019, (ii) the increase of US$65.7 million proceeds of interest-free advances from related parties, partially offset by (iii) the increase of US$812.2 million repayments of bank borrowings, and (iv) the increase of US$68.5 million repayments of interest-free advances to related parties.

As of September 30, 2019, our cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash balance was US$235.1 million, as compared to US$367.0 million at December 31, 2018.

Days Sales Outstanding ("DSO") has decreased from 84 days for the year ended December 31, 2018 to 74 days for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2019 as a result of faster accounts receivable collection from the domestic customers.

It takes shorter to collect from our customers. We believe that our DSO is well below industry average Industry Standard Customer and Supplier Payment Terms (days) as below:

	Nine-month period ended September 30, 2019	Year ended December 31, 2018
Customer Payment Term	Payment in advance/up to 90 days	Payment in advance/up to 90 days
Supplier Payment Term	Payment in advance/up to 90 days	Payment in advance/up to 90 days

Inventory turnover days have increased from 178 days for the year ended December 31, 2018 to 185 days for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2019. Turnover days of payables have decreased from 53 days for the year ended December 31, 2018 to 41 days for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2019.

Based on past performance and current expectations, we believe our cash and cash equivalents provided by operating activities and financing activities will satisfy our working capital needs, capital expenditures and other liquidity requirements associated with our operations for at least the next 12 months.

The majority of the Company's revenues and expenses were denominated primarily in Renminbi ("RMB"), the currency of the People's Republic of China. There is no assurance that exchange rates between the RMB and the U.S. Dollar will remain stable. Inflation has not had a material impact on the Company's business.

(2) Sichuan plant construction and equipment purchase.

In connection with the Nanchong Project, on June 21, 2018, Sichuan Xinda entered into another equipment purchase contracts with Hailezi to purchase production equipment and testing equipment for a consideration of RMB1,900.1 million (equivalent to US$268.7 million). Pursuant to the contracts with Hailezi, Sichuan Xinda have prepaid RMB1,710.1 million (equivalent to US$241.8 million) at the end of September 30, 2019, and has a remaining commitment of RMB190.0 million (equivalent to US$26.9 million).

(3) Heilongjiang plant construction and equipment purchase

In connection with the HLJ Project, on July 12, 2018, Heilongjiang Xinda Enterprise Group Company Limited (“HLJ Xinda Group”) entered into an equipment purchase contract with Hailezi to purchase production equipment, which will be used for 300,000 metric tons of biological based composite material, located in Harbin, for a consideration of RMB1,157.0 million (equivalent to US$163.6 million).

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company and Mr. Jie Han have entered into two off–balance sheet commitments that provide guarantees for two one-year loans in the amounts of RMB500.0 million (equivalent to US$70.7 million) and RMB800.0 million (equivalent to US$113.1 million) obtained by Heilongjiang Xinda Enterprise Group Shanghai New Materials Sales Company Limited, an unrelated party and a raw material provider, on December 25, 2018 and April 15, 2019, respectively, from Longjiang Bank Co., Ltd. Harbin Pingfang branch (“Longjiang Bank”). The Company’s pledged obligations primarily consist of repayments of loan principle and interests if Shanghai Sales defaults on the loans when due.

Our management estimates that, in the event that Shanghai Sales defaults on the loans, the Company’s material loss contingency would be RMB1.379 billion (equivalent to US$195.0 million), including estimated interest expenses of RMB79.2 million (equivalent to US$11.2 million) as of September 30, 2019.

As of today, our management believes that the potential material loss contingency is not probable immediate or in the near future.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risks

Interest Rate Risk

We are exposed to interest rate risk primarily with respect to our short-term loans, long-term bank loans, notes payable, cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and time deposits. Although the interest rates, which are based on the banks' prime rates are fixed for the terms of the loans and deposits, increase in interest rates will increase our interest expense.

A hypothetical 1.0% increase in the annual interest rate for all of our credit facilities under which we had outstanding borrowings as of September 30, 2019 would decrease income before income taxes by approximately US$6.7 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2019. Management monitors the banks' prime rates in conjunction with our cash requirements to determine the appropriate level of debt balances relative to other sources of funds. We have not entered into any hedging transactions in an effort to reduce our exposure to interest rate risk.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rates

The majority of our revenues are collected in and our expenses are paid in RMB. We face foreign currency rate translation risks when our results are translated to U.S. dollars.

The RMB was relatively stable against the U.S. dollar at approximately 8.28 RMB to the US$1.00 until July 21, 2005 when the Chinese currency regime was altered resulting in a 2.1% revaluation versus the U.S. dollar. From July 21, 2005 to June 30, 2010, the RMB exchange rate was no longer linked to the U.S. dollar but rather to a basket of currencies with a 0.3% margin of fluctuation resulting in further appreciation of the RMB against the U.S. dollar. Since June 30, 2009, the exchange rate had remained stable at 6.8307 RMB to 1.00 U.S. dollar until June 30, 2010 when the People's Bank of China allowed a further appreciation of the RMB by 0.43% to 6.798 RMB to 1.00 U.S. dollar. The People's Bank of China allowed the RMB and U.S. dollar exchange rate to fluctuate within 1% on April 16, 2012 and 2% on March 17, 2014, respectively. Affected by the current trade conflicts between China and US, on August 5, 2019, the RMB exchange rate against the U.S. dollar depreciated to break through 7.00 RMB to 1.00 U.S. dollar. On September 30, 2019, the RMB traded at 7.0729 RMB to 1.00 U.S. dollar.

There remains international pressure on the Chinese government to adopt an even more flexible currency policy and the exchange rate of RMB is subject to changes in China's government policies which are, to a large extent, dependent on the economic and political development both internationally and locally and the demand and supply of RMB in the domestic market. There can be no assurance that such exchange rate will continue to remain stable in the future amongst the volatility of currencies, globalization and the unstable economies in recent years. Since (i) our revenues and net income of our PRC operating entities are denominated in RMB, and (ii) the payment of dividends, if any, will be in U.S. dollars, any decrease in the value of RMB against U.S. dollars would adversely affect the value of the shares and dividends payable to shareholders, in U.S. dollars.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company's management has evaluated, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of the design and operations of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Securities Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e)), as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective because of material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting as disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018.

Notwithstanding management's assessment that our internal control over financial reporting was ineffective as of September 30, 2019. We believe that our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report present fairly our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the three-month period ended September 30, 2019 in all material respects.

(b) Changes in internal controls.

During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2019, our efforts to improve our internal controls over financial reporting (1) hiring additional qualified financial staff; (2) adopting procedures to evaluate and assess performance of directors, officers and employees of the Company, (3) internal meetings, discussions, trainings and seminars periodically to review and improve our internal control procedures; We plan to improve on the above-referenced weakness by the end of the fiscal year ending December 31, 2019.

Other than the foregoing, there has been no other changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during our nine-month period ended September 30, 2019 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2019, there have been no material changes to the Risk Factors disclosed in “Part I Item 1A.
