[Foreign Language] Thank you, Weijia. Hello, everyone, and thank you for joining us today.

On November 22, 2016, we announced a majority of the shareholders of the company have approved, in principal, a 1-for-4 reverse stock split of our authorized ordinary shares, accompanied by a corresponding decrease in our issued and outstanding ordinary shares and an increase of the par value of each ordinary share from US$0.129752 to US$0.519008, subject to an extraordinary meeting of shareholders to be held on December 5, 2016.

On November 23, 2016, we announced a receipt of a letter from NASDAQ stating that since we have not regained compliance with Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) regarding our bid price, our ordinary shares will be delisted from the NASDAQ Capital Market.

The letter further stated that unless we request an appeal of the staff's determination, trading of our ordinary shares will be suspended at the opening of business on December 1, 2016. We have appealed the staff's determination to a Hearing Panel. A hearing request will stay the suspension of our ordinary shares pending the Panel's decision.

Now Weijia will read to you our financial results for the third quarter of 2016. Then I will begin the Q&A session..

Now I will provide you with an overview of our key financials for the third quarter 2016. Then I will offer some updates on the company’s operations followed by management Q&A. Financial highlights for the three months ended September 30, 2016.

Reduction of average sales price caused a decrease of RMB3.8 million and the sales volume decrease caused a decrease of RMB0.3 million.

In the third quarter of 2016, sales of specialty films were RMB22.7 million or US$3.4 million or 36.8% of our total revenues as compared to RMB18.7 million or 28.5% in the same period of 2015, which was an increase of RMB4.0 million, or 21.4% as compared to the same period in 2015.

Overseas sales were RMB11.4 million or US$1.7 million, or 18.4% of total revenues, compared with RMB16.1 million or 24.5% of total revenues in the third quarter of 2015.

This is a decrease of RMB4.7 million. The decrease in average sales price caused a decrease of RMB1.4 million and the decrease in sales volume resulted in a decrease of RMB3.3 million.

Our gross profit was RMB1.1 million or US$0.2 million for the third quarter ended September 30, 2016, representing a gross profit rate of 1.7%, as compared to a gross profit rate of 5.8% for the same period in 2015.

Correspondingly, gross profit rate decreased by 4.1% compared to the same period in 2015 mainly due to the reduction of average sales price. Operating expenses for the third quarter ended September 30, 2016 were RMB12.7 million or US$1.9 million, which was RMB1.8 million or 12.4% lower than the same period in 2015.

This increase was mainly due to decreased [indiscernible].

Net loss attributable to the company during the third quarter ended September 30, 2016 was RMB13.4 million or US$2.0 million compared to the net loss attributable to the company of RMB12.3 million during the same period in 2015, representing an increase in loss of RMB1.1 million compared for the same period in 2015.

As of September 30, 2016, the company had 13,062,500 basic and diluted total ordinary shares outstanding.

Financial highlights for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, net sales during the six month period ended September 30, 2016 were RMB183.0 million or US$27.4 million, compared to RMB185.2 million during the same period in 2015, representing a decrease of RMB2.2 million or 1.2%, mainly due to the reduction of average sales price by 4.8% arising from stronger contribution in China together with a reduction in price of mainly raw material.

In the nine month period ended September 30, 2016, sales of specialty films were RMB68.0 million or US$10.2 million or 37.1% of our total revenues as compared to RMB55.0 million or 29.7% in the same period of 2015, which was an increase of RMB13.0 million or 23.6% as compared to the same period in 2015.

The reduction of average sales price caused a decrease of RMB2.3 million and increase in the sales volume caused an increase of RMB15.3 million.

Overseas sales during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 were RMB35.1 million or US$5.3 million or 19.2% of total revenues, compared with RMB44.3 million or 29% of total revenues in the same period in 2015. This was RMB9.2 million lower than the same period in 2015.

The reduction in sales volume resulted in a decrease of RMB5.7 million and a decrease of average sales price caused a decrease of RMB3.5 million.

Our gross profit was RMB12.3 million or US$1.8 million for the first nine months ended September 30, 2016, representing a gross profit rate of 6.7%, as compared to a gross loss rate of 2.0% for the same period in 2015. Correspondingly, gross profit rate increased by 8.7 percentage points.

Our average product sales price decreased by 4.8% compared to the same period last year, while the average cost of goods sold decreased by 12.9% compared to the same period last year.

Consequently, the amount of decrease in cost of goods sold was higher than that in sales revenue during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 compared with the same period in 2015, which resulted in an increase of our gross profit.

Operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 were RMB42.2 million or US$6.3 million, compared to RMB36.4 million in the same period in 2015, which was RMB5.8 million or 15.9% higher than the same period in 2015.

This increase is mainly due to depreciation charged to general and administrative expenses in the accounting period in which they are incurred as a result of lack of manufacturing from the third production line since April 2015 and increased allowance for doubtful accounts receivable.

In conclusion, we would like to thank our shareholders for their continued loyalty and support. We believe we are well positioned to face the current challenges and we are committed to providing value to our shareholders and customers. We will keep you informed of our progress.
