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 (the “SEC”). The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2013 was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements of China XD Plastics Company Limited (“China XD”) and its 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, 2013, 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 March 26, 2014.

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 June 30, 2014, the results of operations for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, and the cash flows for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, have been made.

The preparation of 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 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 collectibility of accounts receivable, the fair values of stock-based compensation awards, and the accruals for tax uncertainties and other contingencies. The current economic environment has increased the degree of uncertainty inherent in those estimates and assumptions.

(b) Significant concentrations and risks

Sales concentration

The Company sells its products, substantially through approved distributors in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”). The Company’s sales are highly concentrated. Sales to major distributors, which individually exceeded 10% of the Company’s revenues, are as follows:

	Three-Month Period Ended June 30,
	2014					2013
	US$		%			US$		%
Distributor A		46,122,237		17.5	%		37,851,945		18.7	%
Distributor B		36,194,327		13.7	%		27,043,818		13.4	%
Distributor C		36,010,557		13.6	%		29,715,013		14.7	%
Distributor D		35,872,313		13.6	%		-		-
Distributor E		34,853,678		13.2	%		62,636,042		31.0	%
Distributor F		7,921,676		3.0	%		19,931,400		9.9	%
Total		196,974,788		74.6	%		177,178,218		87.7	%

	Six-Month Period Ended June 30,
	2014					2013
	US$		%			US$		%
Distributor A		82,477,849		16.9	%		81,383,863		21.8	%
Distributor B		69,391,812		14.2	%		50,068,717		13.4	%
Distributor C		73,473,179		15.1	%		52,579,111		14.1	%
Distributor D		68,405,706		14.0	%		-		-
Distributor E		67,433,893		13.8	%		105,637,897		28.3	%
Distributor F		20,480,431		4.2	%		42,853,294		11.5	%
Total		381,662,870		78.2	%		332,522,882		89.1	%

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, Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (“ABS”) and nylon. The Company purchased substantially all of its raw materials through eight and three distributors, which individually exceeded 10% of the Company’s total raw material purchases, accounting for approximately 81% and 95% of the Company’s total raw materials purchases for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and 79% and 97% of the Company’s total raw materials purchases for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, 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.

The Company purchased equipment from two major equipment distributors, which accounted for 98.6% and nil of the Company’s total equipment purchases for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and accounted for 97.5% and 34.9% of the Company’s total equipment purchases for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013. 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. One of majority owners of the equipment distributor is also the majority owner of a major raw material supplier that supplied approximately nil and 17.6% of the Company’s total raw material purchases for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, and 0.9% and 18.4% of the Company’s total raw material purchases for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. In addition, the majority owner of the equipment distributor is also the majority owner of sales Distributor B presented above.

Note 7 – Fair value measurement

Short-term financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, time deposits, accounts receivable, amounts due from related parties, short-term loans, bills payable, accounts payable, amounts due to a related party, accrued expenses and other current liabilities- carrying amounts approximate fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments.

Long-term bank loans-fair value is based on the amount of future cash flows associated with each loan discounted at the Company’s current borrowing rate for similar debt instruments of comparable terms. The carrying value of the long-term bank loans approximate their fair values as the long-term bank loans carry interest rates which approximate rates currently offered by the Company’s banks for similar debt instruments of comparable maturities.

Notes payable - fair values of the Company’s notes payable are estimated based on quoted market prices which are categorized as Level 1 measurement in the fair value hierarchy. As of June 30, 2014, the carrying amount and estimated fair value of the notes payable were US$148,491,833 and US$165,843,750, respectively.

Derivative liabilities-fair values are determined using an option-pricing model which considers the following significant inputs: the Company’s stock price, risk-free interest rate and expected volatility of the Company’s stock price over the term of the derivative liabilities.

Note 8 – Foreign currency forward contracts

On March 14, 2014, the Company entered into a foreign currency forward contract with HSBC Bank (China) Company Ltd.

The Company entered into another foreign currency forward contract with HSBC on June 18, 2014, pursuant to which the Company would pay US$50 million in exchange for RMB315 million on June 23, 2015. Changes in fair value of the foreign currency forward contract dated June 18, 2014 amounted to US$0.1 million and was recognized in earnings because it did not qualify or was designated for hedge accounting.

During the six-month period ended June 30, 2014, the Company recognized loss on foreign currency forward contracts in the amount of US$0.9 million.

Note 12 – Income tax

Pursuant to an approval from the local tax authority in July 2013, Sichuan Xinda Enterprise Group Co., Ltd.

Under the current laws of Dubai, Al Composites Materials FZE (“Al Composites”), a subsidiary of China XD, is exempted from income taxes.

The effective income tax rates for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 were 22.3% and 25.5%, respectively. The effective income tax rate for the six-month period ended June 30, 2014 differs from the PRC statutory income tax rate of 25% primarily due to the abovementioned Sichuan Xinda Group’s and Al Composites’s preferential income tax rate, partially offsetting by effect of tax rate differential on entities not subject to PRC income tax, effect of non-deductible expenses and increase of valuation allowances against deferred income tax assets of certain subsidiaries, which were at cumulative loss position.

As of June 30, 2014, the unrecognized tax benefits were US$9,607,277 and the interest relating to unrecognized tax benefits was US$670,142. No penalties expense related to unrecognized tax benefits were recorded.

Revenues

Revenues were US$264.2 million in the second quarter ended June 30, 2014, an increase of US$62.0 million, or 30.7%, compared to US$202.2 million in the same period of last year, due to approximately 16.3% increase in sales volume and 13.6% increase in the average RMB selling price of our products.

The increase of sales volume was driven by the strong demand of polymer composite materials in the PRC and Asian markets, the higher penetration of our business in our existing markets supported as well as the marketing efforts to develop new customers. Such increase in demand was driven by increasing demand for middle and high-end automobiles by Chinese consumers, continuing substitution of imported polymer composite materials by domestic suppliers, as well as the increase of plastic content on the per-vehicle-basis in China with even higher adoption rate in higher-end automobile models than lower-end ones. The increase of average RMB selling price was mainly due to the shift of product mix towards higher-end products.

During the second quarter ended June 30, 2014, the Company sold US$20.0 million products to the Korean market, mainly PA66 and plastic alloy, accounting 7.6% of the total revenues for second quarter of 2014.

The effective income tax rates for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 were 19.8% and 25.4%, respectively. The effective income tax rate for the three-month period ended June 30, 2014 differs from the PRC statutory income tax rate of 25% primarily due to (i) Sichuan Xinda Group’s preferential income tax rate and exemption of income tax for the income earned by Al Composites, (ii) increase of valuation allowances against deferred income tax assets of certain subsidiaries, which were at cumulative loss position, partially offsetting by (iii) effect of tax rate differential on entities not subject to PRC income tax, and (iv) effect of non-deductible expenses.

Our PRC subsidiaries have US$489.1 million of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and time deposits as of June 30, 2014, which are planned to be indefinitely reinvested in the PRC. The distributions from our PRC subsidiaries are subject to U.S. federal income tax at 34%, less any applicable foreign tax credits. Due to our policy of indefinitely reinvesting our earnings in our PRC business, we have not provided for deferred income tax liabilities on undistributed earnings of our PRC subsidiaries.

Net Income

As a result of the above factors, we had a net income of US$19.8 million in the second quarter of 2014 compared to a net income of US$20.8 million in the same quarter of 2013.

Our financial condition continues to improve as measured by an increase of 7.3% in stockholders’ equity as of June 30, 2014 compared to December 31, 2013. Restricted cash increased by 47.4% as a result of increase short-term bank deposits that are pledged as collateral for letter of credit and bills payable relating to purchase of raw materials, and short-term bank borrowings. Inventories increased by 57.3% due to the anticipation of the increase of customer demand in the following quarters. Short-term loans decreased by 41.5% due to the leverage of long-term bank loans of US$162.4 million to meet the need to support our future capacity expansion in Southwest China and Dubai. Bills payable increased by 52.0% due to the increase of purchases from our domestic raw material suppliers. As of June 30, 2014, notes payable was US$148.5 million due to the issuance of 11.75% guaranteed senior notes due in 2019, net of discount.

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, short-term bank borrowings, and the issuance of our convertible preferred stocks and debt financings. As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we had US$132.8 million and US$95.5 million, respectively, in cash and cash equivalents, which were primarily deposited with banks in China (including Hong Kong and Macau). As of June 30, 2014, we had US$184.1 million outstanding short-term loans (including the current portion of long-term bank loans), including US$85.4 million unsecured loans, US$88.7 million loans secured by accounts receivable, US$1.9 million loans secured by time deposits and US$8.1 million interest-free loan secured by the land use rights. We also had US$162.4 million outstanding long-term bank loans (excluding the current portion), including US$70.0 million loans secured by long-term deposits and US$92.4 million unsecured loan. These loans bear a weighted average interest rate of 5.8% per annum and do not contain any renewal terms. We have historically been able to make repayments when due. In addition, the Company has US$148.5 million of 11.75% guaranteed senior notes due in 2019.

A summary of lines of credit for the six-month period ended June 30, 2014 and the remaining line of credit as of June 30, 2014 is as below:

We have historically been able to make repayments when due. In addition, as of June 30 2014, we have contractual obligations to pay (i) lease commitments in the amount of US$4.3 million, including US$1.1 million due in one year; (ii) equipment acquisition in the amount of US$56.4 million; (iii) long-term bank loan in the amount of US$177.0 million (including principals and interests); and (iv) notes payable in the amount of US$231.0 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.

The following table sets forth a summary of our cash flows for the periods indicated.

	Six-Month Period Ended June 30,
(in millions US$)	2014			2013
Net cash provided by operating activities		61.3			38.9
Net cash used in investing activities		(188.6	)		(138.9	)
Net cash provided by financing activities		166.8			80.8
Effect of foreign currency exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents		(2.2	)		1.4
Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents		37.3			(17.8	)
Cash and cash equivalents at the beginning of period		95.5			83.8
Cash and cash equivalents at the end of period		132.8			66.0

Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities increased to US$61.3 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2014 from US$38.9 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2013, primarily due to (i) an increase of US$145.4 million in cash collected from our customers for the six-month period ended June 30, 2014 as compared to the same period in 2013, partially offset by (ii) an increase of US$119.9 million in raw material purchases payment for the six-month period ended June 30, 2014 as compared to the same period in 2013, resulting from increasing sales during the period.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in the investing activities was US$188.6 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2014 as compared to US$138.9 million for the same period of last year, mainly due to the increase of US$180.1 million purchase of time deposits, and the increase of US$73.0 million purchase of property, plant and equipment, partially offset by the increase of US$203.4 million proceeds from maturity of time deposits.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by the financing activities was US$166.8 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2014, as compared to US$80.8 million for the same period of last year, primarily as a result of the increase of US$195.2 million borrowings of bank loans from local banks, the proceeds of US$148.4 million from issuance of long-term notes payable, the release of restricted cash of US$1.6 million, and US$0.6 million proceeds from the exercise of Series A investor warrants, which was offset by the increase of US$236.1 million repayments of bank borrowings, the US$4.0 million payment of issuance costs related to the notes payable, and US$19.7 million of placement of restricted cash as collateral for bank borrowings for the six-month period ended June 30, 2014.

As of June 30, 2014, our cash balance was US$132.8 million, compared to US$95.5 million at December 31, 2013.

Accounts Receivables Days Sales Outstanding (DSO) has increased from 83 days for the six-month period ended June 30, 2013 to 86 days for the six-month period ended June 30, 2014 as a result of overall China economic slowdown and its impact on our industry. We believe that our DSO is below industry average Industry Standard Customer and Supplier Payment Terms (days) as below:

	Six-month period ended June 30, 2014	Year ended December 31, 2013
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 60 days	Payment in advance/up to 30 days

Inventory turnover days increased from 53 days for the six-month ended June 30, 2013 to 86 days for the six-month ended June 30, 2014, due to inventory of raw materials buildup in anticipation of increasing demand from our customers in the following quarters.

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.

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 rates for all of our credit facilities under which we had outstanding borrowings as of June 30, 2014 would decrease income before income taxes by approximately US$2.4 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2014. A hypothetical 1.0% decrease in the annual interest rates for all of our cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and time deposits we had as of June 30, 2014 would decrease income before income taxes by approximately US$2.7 million. Management monitors the banks’ prime rates in conjunction with our cash requirements to determine the appropriate level of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and time deposits, and 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

All of our revenues are collected in and substantially all of 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 $1.00 U.S. dollar 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 Chinese Central Bank allowed a further appreciation of the RMB by 0.43% to 6.798 RMB to 1.00 U.S. dollar. On June 30 2014, the RMB traded at 6.2036 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.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rates

On February 5, 2014, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Favor Sea Limited (the “Note Issuer“), completed the sale of US$150 million in aggregate principal amount of 11.75% guaranteed senior notes due on February 4, 2019 (the “Notes“). We must periodically convert Reminbi into US Dollars to make interest and principal payments during the tenure of the Notes. Therefore, fluctuations in currency exchange rates could have a significant effect on our results of operations due to mismatches among various foreign currency-denominated transactions. In the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, we recognized a net forward contract loss of RMB5.8 million (equivalent to US$0.9 million) and nil, respectively, primarily due to the appreciation of the US dollar against the Renminbi. We will continue to be exposed to foreign currency exchange risk to the extent that our hedging and foreign currency forward arrangements do not cover all of our expected exposure in foreign currencies. We cannot predict the effect of exchange rate fluctuations on our foreign currency exchange gains or losses in the future. We may continue to reduce the effect of such exposure through hedging or other similar arrangements, but because of the limited availability of such instruments in China, we cannot assure you that we will always find a hedging arrangement suitable to us, or that such derivative activities will be effective in managing our foreign exchange risk.

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, 2013.

Notwithstanding management’s assessment that our internal control over financial reporting was ineffective as of December 31, 2013 due to one material weakness as identified in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, we believe that our unaudited consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report present fairly our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2014 in all material respects.

(b) Changes in internal controls.

During the three-month ended March 31, 2014, our efforts to improve our internal controls include (1) external training of U.S. GAAP and SEC reporting by qualified entities to our accounting staff, (2) recruiting senior qualified people with requisite expertise and knowledge to help improve our internal control procedures, and (3) internal meetings, discussions 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, 2014.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

The Company evaluates subsequent events for purposes of recognition or disclosure up through the date the financial statements are issued.

The Company and certain of its officers were named as defendants in two putative securities class action lawsuits filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. These actions, which allege violations of the United States securities laws, were filed on July 15, 2014 and July 16, 2014 and are captioned Yang v. Han, et al., No. 14-cv-5308 (GBD) and Tompkins v. China XD Plastics Company Ltd., et al., No. 14-cv-5359 (GBD), respectively. The plaintiffs in both actions seek to represent a class of all persons, other than defendants and their affiliates, who purchased the common stock of China XD Plastics Company Limited between August 12, 2009 and July 10, 2014, inclusive. The plaintiffs assert claims for violations of Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and Rule 10b-5 thereunder. Specifically, the plaintiffs allege the defendants made false or misleading statements and/or omitted material facts in the Company’s Form 10-Q for the second quarter ended June 30, 2009 and the Company’s Form 10-K for the years ended December 31, 2009, December 31, 2010, December 31, 2011, December 31, 2012, and December 31, 2013. The plaintiffs also assert claims under Section 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 against the individual defendants as persons who allegedly controlled the Company during the time the allegedly false and misleading statements and omissions were made. The complaints seek damages in unspecified amounts.

Based on our initial review of the complaints, the management believes the lawsuits are without merit and intend to vigorously defend against them.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Except as set forth below, there have been no material changes from the risk factors disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on March 26, 2014. We operate in a changing environment that involves numerous known and unknown risks and uncertainties that could materially affect our operations. The risks, uncertainties and other factors set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and set forth below may cause our actual results, performances and achievements to be materially different from those expressed or implied by our forward-looking statements. If any of these risks or events occurs, our business, financial condition or results of operations may be adversely affected.

We have engaged in two transactions with an entity subject to U.S. sanctions and we may fail to develop and maintain an effective system of internal controls for OFAC compliance.

Earlier in 2013, our Hong Kong subsidiary inadvertently purchased, through an intermediary trading agent, 300MT and 168MT of Polyamide-6 for EUR554,715 and EUR304,920, respectively, which had been exported by a Belarus company that is a Specially Designated National, which is subject to economic sanctions by the United States Treasury and the Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC“). U.S. citizens, permanent residents, and U.S.-based businesses are forbidden from working with Specially Designated Nationals. We have made a voluntary disclosure to the United States Treasury and intend to cooperate with any inquiry they may have. As a result of these transactions, we may be subject to penalties and fines. At this time, we are unable to ascertain with any certainty as to the outcome of these OFAC violations.

We currently have an internal team that is responsible for monitoring our compliance with regulations promulgated by the OFAC. We plan to develop and maintain a more effective system of internal controls in order to monitor all of our activities and ensure that we fully comply with OFAC-related regulations going forward. We also plan to conduct sanctions screening on suppliers and other counterparties and provide training to our personnel involved with export and import transactions. While we believe that these measures will help improve our internal controls, we cannot assure you that they will be adequate for our OFAC compliance in the future.
