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, 2015 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, 2015, 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 15, 2016.

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, 2016, the results of operations for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, and the cash flows for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, 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, 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 primarily through approved distributors in the People's Republic of China (the "PRC"). To a lesser extent, the Company also sells its products to overseas customers in the Republic of Korea (the "ROK"). The Company's sales are highly concentrated. Sales to distributors and end customer, which individually exceeded 10% of the Company's revenues for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, are as follows:

	Three-Month Period Ended June 30,
	2016					2015
	US$		%			US$		%
Distributor A, located in PRC		39,632,852		14.3	%		47,121,285		17.8	%
Distributor B, located in PRC		31,669,861		11.4	%		38,766,823		14.6	%
Distributor C, located in PRC		30,270,133		10.9	%		27,377,033		10.3	%
Distributor D, located in PRC		28,827,605		10.4	%		32,232,229		12.1	%
Distributor E, located in PRC		16,204,373		5.8	%		28,722,000		10.8	%
Direct Customer F, located in ROK		35,499,160		12.8	%		-		0.0	%
Direct Customer G, located in ROK		-		0.0	%		29,139,000		11.0	%
Total		182,103,984		65.6	%		203,358,370		76.6	%

	Six-Month Period Ended June 30,
	2016					2015
	US$		%			US$		%
Distributor A, located in PRC		74,738,467		15.2	%		82,134,181		16.9	%
Distributor B, located in PRC		67,479,415		13.7	%		71,578,657		14.7	%
Distributor C, located in PRC		55,755,981		11.3	%		49,664,900		10.2	%
Distributor D, located in PRC		57,288,505		11.6	%		58,437,523		12.0	%
Distributor E, located in PRC		38,406,499		7.8	%		51,380,046		10.5	%
Direct Customer G, located in ROK		-		0.0	%		64,085,900		13.2	%
Total		293,668,867		59.6	%		377,281,207		77.5	%

The Company expects revenues from these distributors and end customers (other than Direct Customer G) to continue to represent a substantial portion of its revenue in the future. Any factor adversely affecting the automobile industry in the PRC, electronic application industry in the ROK 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 purchased its raw materials through a limited number of distributors, which individually exceeded 10% of the Company's total raw material purchases, accounted for approximately 77.6% (six distributors) and 71.8% (five distributors) of the Company's total raw materials purchases for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and 81.6% (six distributors) and 67.1% (five distributors) of the Company's total raw materials purchases for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, 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 96.5% and 96.1% of the Company's total equipment purchases for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and accounted for 96.4% and 97.9% of the Company's total equipment purchases for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2016 and 2015. Management believes that other suppliers could provide similar equipment 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 majority owner of one of the major equipment distributors, is also the majority owner of Distributor E presented above.

Cash concentration

Cash and cash equivalents, short-term restricted cash, time deposits and long-term restricted cash included in other non-current assets mentioned below maintained at banks consist of the following:

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.

The effective income tax rates for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 were 18.0% and 14.3%, respectively. The effective income tax rate increased from 14.3% for the six-month period ended June 30, 2015 to 18.0% for the six-month period ended June 30, 2016, primarily due to less sales to overseas market of Dubai Xinda which was exempted from income taxes. The effective income tax rate for the six-month period ended June 30, 2016 differs from the PRC statutory income tax rate of 25% primarily due to the effect of tax rate differential on entities not subject to PRC income tax, super deduction of R&D expense and partially offset by the effect of non-deductible expenses.

Overview

China XD Plastics Company Limited ("China XD", "we", and the "Company", and "us" or "our" shall be interpreted accordingly) 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 379 certifications from manufacturers in the automobile industry as of June 30, 2016. 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 338 professionals and 14 consultants, including one consultant who is a member of Chinese Academy of Engineering, and one consultant who is the former chief scientist of Specialty Plastics Engineering Institute of Jilin University. As a result of the integration of our academic and technological expertise, we have a portfolio of 357 patents, 29 of which we have obtained the patent rights and the remaining 328 of which we have applications pending in China as of June 30, 2016.

Our products include eleven 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) and Poly Ether Ether Ketone (PEEK).

The Company's products are primarily used in the production of exterior and interior trim and functional components of more than 28 automobile brands and 80 automobile models manufactured in China, including Audi, Mercedes Benz, BMW, Buick, Chevrolet, VW Passat, Golf and Jetta, Mazda, and Toyota. 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 June 30, 2016, in domestic market, we had approximately 390,000 metric tons of production capacity across 84 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, expecting to bring total domestic installed production capacity to 690,000 metric tons with additional 70 new production lines at the completion of the construction of our fourth production plant. Sichuan Xinda has supplied to its customers since 2013, backed by production capacity in our Harbin production plant. To streamline the management in Sichuan, the Company completed a restructuring in July 2015 by merging its subsidiary in Nanchong City, the entire registered capital (US$99.99 million) of which was owned by Xinda (Heilongjiang) Investment Co., Ltd, into Sichuan Xinda. During the second quarter of 2016, we installed 20 production lines stationed in completed plants in our Sichuan plant, which was launched on July 7, 2016. There is still construction ongoing on the site of our Sichuan plant to be expected to be completed by the end of 2016. In addition, we completed the trial production in the plant in Dubai, UAE with additional 2,500 metric tons of production capacity ("Phase 1") targeting high-end products for the overseas markets. In order to meet the increasing demand from our customers in the ROK and to develop potential overseas markets, on January 25, 2015, AL Composites Materials FZE ("AL Composites") obtained a leased property of approximately 10,000 square meters from Jebel Ali Free Zone Authority ("JAFZA") in Dubai, UAE with constructed building comprising a warehouse, office and service block with a lease term of 15 years. The Company is planning to complete installing 75 production lines with additional 14,000 metric tons ("Phase 2") of annual production capacity in that property around the end of 2016, bringing total production capacity in Dubai to 16,500 metric tons. On June 28, 2016, AL Composite signed a lease agreement pertaining approximately 20,206 square meters property in JAFZA in Dubai, UAE with constructed building including a warehouse, office and service block with a minimum term of 10 years and further extension of 10 additional years.

Revenues

Revenues were US$277.1 million in the second quarter ended June 30, 2016, an increase of US$11.7 million, or 4.4%, compared to US$265.4 million in the same period of last year, due to 4.0% increase in the average RMB selling price of our products and 4.5% negative impact from exchange rate due to weakening RMB against US dollars, and approximately 5.4% increase in sales volume.

In order to stimulate the growth of the auto industry, on September 29, 2015, the Chinese government implemented a tax incentive policy of 50% reduction of the sales tax for eligible purchase of vehicles with engines of 1.6 liters and less. This helped the recovery of vehicle sales in China since the fourth quarter of 2015. Passenger vehicles production increased by 7.3% in the first half year of 2016 compared to the same period of the prior year. The Company has been actively marketing its higher-end products to customers to better allocate its production capacity, diversifying its business to reduce its concentration in the Chinese market. Driven by accelerating growth of 18.9% in Central China and 80.5% in South China, domestic sales during the second quarter of 2015 increased by 4.4% as compared to the same period of the prior year.

Oversea sales was US$35.7 million in the second quarter of 2016 compared to US$29.1 million in the same period of the prior year due to the supply to a new ROK customer in the second quarter of 2016. The customer has made payment of US$9.4 million in the second quarter of 2016 with unpaid balance of US$26.3 million.

Research and Development Expenses		$	5.9			$	6.7			$	(0.8	)		(11.9	)%
as a percentage of revenues			2.1	%			2.5	%						(0.4	)%

R&D expenses were US$5.9 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2016 compared with US6.7 million during the same period in 2015, a decrease of US$0.8 million, or 11.9%, reflecting our improved efficiency in R&D projects and the Company's efforts to adjust research and development activities on new products primarily for industrialized applications from automotive to other advanced fields such as ships, airplanes, high-speed rail, 3D printing materials, biodegradable plastics, and medical devices.

As of June 30, 2016, the number of ongoing research and development projects was 187. We expect to complete and commence to realize economic benefits on approximately 25% of the projects in the near term. The remaining projects are expected to be carried out for a longer period.

Operating Income

Total operating income was US$47.4 million in the second quarter ended June 30, 2016 compared to $37.8 million in the same period of 2015, representing an increase of 25.4% or US$9.6 million. This increase is primarily due to higher gross margin, and lower research and developed expenses, with stable general and administrative expenses.

Interest Income (Expenses)

	Three-Month Period Ended June 30,						Change
(in millions, except percentage)	2016			2015			Amount			%
Interest Income	$	1.6		$	2.5		$	(0.9	)		(36.0	)%

as a percentage of revenues		(3.3	)%		(3.2	)%					(0.1	)%

Net interest expense was US$9.0 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2016, compared to net interest expense of US$8.5 million in the same period of 2015, primarily due to (i) the decrease of interest income was caused by the decrease of average interest rate of 2.4% for the three month period ended June 30, 2016 compared to 3.1% for the same period of 2015, which was partially offset by the increase of average deposit balance in the amount of US$409.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 compared to US$344.5 million for the same period of 2015; and partially offset by (ii) the decrease of interest expense which was caused by the decrease of average interest rate 5.2% for the three months ended June 30, 2016 as compared to 5.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2015, which was partially offset by the increase of short-term and long-term loans in the amount of US$496.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 as compared to US$409.9 million of prior year.

Income Taxes

	Three–Month Period Ended June 30,								Change
(in millions, except percentage)	2016				2015				Amount				%
Income before Income Taxes		$	38.6			$	29.9			$	8.7			29.1	%
Income Tax Expense			(5.3	)			(4.4	)			(0.9	)		20.5	%
Effective income tax rate			13.6	%			14.7	%						(1.1	)%

The effective income tax rate for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 was 13.6% and 14.7%, respectively. The decrease was primarily due to Heilongjiang Xinda Group's R&D expense super deduction, 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. The effective income tax rate for the three-month period ended June 30, 2016 differs from the PRC statutory income tax rate of 25% primarily due to the effect of tax rate differential on entities not subject to PRC income tax, super deduction of R&D expense and partially offset by the effect of non-deductible expenses.

Our PRC and Dubai subsidiaries have US$405.0 million of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and time deposits as of June 30, 2016, which are planned to be indefinitely reinvested in the PRC and Dubai. The distributions from our PRC and Dubai subsidiaries are subject to the 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 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 Composites in Dubai, UAE, on undistributed earnings.

Net Income

As a result of the above factors, we had a net income of US$33.3 million in the second quarter of 2016 compared to a net income of US$$25.5 million in the same quarter of 2015.

Six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to six months ended June 30, 2015

Revenues

Revenues were US$492.2 million in the six-month period ended June 30, 2016, an increase of US$4.9 million, or 1.0%, compared with US$487.3 million in the same period of last year, due to approximately 7.8% increase in sales volume and 6.3% decrease in the average selling price of our products.

For the six months ended June 30, 2016, we had an increase of 3.1% in the average RMB selling price of our products while the sales volume increased by 9.6% compared with those of last year in the domestic market. More sales were achieved in South China, Central China and Southwest China because of our marketing efforts to develop new customers. As for the RMB selling price, the increase was mainly due to higher-end product of modified PA6 and PA66 in China.

For the six months ended June 30, 2016 in the overseas market, we had a significant decrease of 41.9% in sales volume and 4.0% decrease in the average selling price as compared with those of last year, primarily due to the ongoing suspension of supply to a major ROK customer in the first half of 2016.

	Six-Month Period Ended June 30,								Change
(in millions, except percentage)	2016				2015				Amount			%
Gross Profit		$	95.2			$	100.1			$	(4.9)		(4.9)	%
Gross Profit Margin			19.3	%			20.5	%					(1.4)	%

Gross profit was US$95.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to US$100.1 million in the same period of 2015, representing a decrease of 4.9%. Our gross margin decreased to 19.3% during the six months ended June 30, 2016 from 20.5% during the same period of 2015, primarily due to lower contribution of higher-margin product sales overseas for the six months ended June 30, 2016 as compared to that of the prior year.

General and Administrative Expenses

	Six-Month Period Ended June 30,								Change
(in millions, except percentage)	2016				2015				Amount			%
General and Administrative Expenses		$	11.7			$	11.6			$	0.1		0.9	%
as a percentage of revenues			2.4	%			2.4	%					(0.0)	%

General and administrative (G&A) expenses were US$11.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to US$11.6 million in the same period in 2015, representing an increase of 0.9%, or US$0.1 million. This increase is primarily due to the increase salary and welfare due to the increase in the number of management staff offset by decreased non-income taxation expenses.

Research and Development Expenses

	Six-Month Period Ended June 30,								Change
(in millions, except percentage)	2016				2015				Amount				%
Research and Development Expenses		$	10.8			$	12.5			$	(1.7	)		(13.6	)%
as a percentage of revenues			2.2	%			2.6	%						(0.4)	%

Research and development (R&D) expenses were US$10.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared with US$12.5 million during the same period in 2015, a decrease of US$1.7 million, or 13.6%, reflecting the Company's efforts to adjust research and development activities on new products primarily for industrialized applications from automotive to other advanced fields such as ships, airplanes, high-speed rail, 3D printing materials, biodegradable plastics, and medical devices.

Operating Income

Total operating income was US$72.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to US$75.3 million in the same period of 2015, representing a decrease of 4.4% or US$3.3 million. This decrease is primarily due to lower gross profit, partially offset by reduced R&D expenses.

Interest Income (Expenses)

	Six-Month Period Ended June 30,						Change
(in millions, except percentage)	2016			2015			Amount			%
Interest Income	$	3.2		$	4.9		$	(1.7	)		(34.7	)%
Interest Expenses		(21.5	)		(21.7	)		0.2			(0.9	)%

as a percentage of revenues		(3.7	)%		(3.4	)%					(0.3	)%

Net interest expense was US$18.3 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2016, compared to net interest expense of US$16.8 million in the same period of 2015, primarily due to (i) the decrease of interest income was due to the decrease average interest rate of 1.70% for the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to 2.88 % of the same period in 2015, and partially offset by the increase of average deposit balance in amount of US$388.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to US$330.9 million for the same period in prior year, leading to the decrease of interest income; partially offset by (ii) the decrease of interest expense which was due to the decrease average interest rate of 5.16% for the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to 5.55% of the same period in 2015, and partially offset by the increase of average short-term and long-term loan balance in amount of US$457.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to US$397.1 million for the same period in 2015.

Income Taxes

	Six Month Period Ended June 30,							Change
(in millions, except percentage)	2016			2015				Amount		%
Income before Income Taxes	$	54.5			$	59.4		$	(4.9)	(8.2)	%
Income Tax Expense		(9.8	)			(8.5	)		(1.3)	15.3	%
Effective income tax rate		18.0	%			14.3	%			3.7	%

The effective income tax rate for the six-month period ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 were 18.0% and 14.3%, respectively, which differ from the PRC statutory income tax rate of 25%. The increase was primarily due to less profit generated from Dubai Xinda in the six-month period ended June 30, 2016 compared with that of 2015, which was exempted from income taxes. The effective income tax rate differs from the PRC statutory income tax rate of 25% primarily due to the effect of tax rate differential on entities not subject to PRC income tax, super deduction of R&D expense and partially offset by the effect of non-deductible expenses.

Net Income

As a result of the above factors, we had a net income of US$44.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to net income of US$50.9 million in the same period of 2015.

Our financial condition continued to improve as measured by an increase of 5.5% in stockholders' equity as of June 30, 2016 as compared to that of December 31, 2015. Cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and time deposits decreased by 0.8% or US$3.4 million due to the operating cash outflows. Inventories increased by 43.2% as a result of more purchases made by the Company to take advantage of the lower purchase price of the raw materials and the Company's strategy to stock up the inventory and prepare for the opening of Sichuan plant. Prepayment to equipment suppliers decreased by 92.1% mainly because the equipment was delivered to Dubai, UAE. The aggregate short-term and long-term bank loans increased by 28.6% due to the utilization of existing lines of credit. We believe our current debt level is manageable. We define the manageable debt level as the sum of aggregate short-term and long-term loans, and notes payable over total assets. As of June 30, 2016, notes payable within one-year was US$146.2 million under the 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, bank borrowings and the issuance of our convertible preferred stocks and debt financings. As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, we had US$58.0 million and US$119.9 million, respectively, in cash and cash equivalents, which were primarily deposited with banks in China (including Hong Kong and Macau SAR). As of June 30, 2016, we had US$422.2 million outstanding short-term bank loans (including the current portion of long-term bank loans), including US$220.9 million unsecured loan and US$57.4 million loans secured by accounts receivable, US$32.1 million loans secured by restricted cash, and US$111.8 long-term bank loans that due in one year. We also had US$81.7 million long-term bank loans (excluding the current portion), including US$30.4 million loans secured by long-term deposits and US$51.3 million unsecured loan. Short-term and long-term bank loans in total bear a weighted average interest rate of 5.16% 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$146.2 million of 11.75% guaranteed senior notes, all of which the Company announced to redeem on August 29, 2016 at a redemption amount of approximately US$ 165,285,000.

A summary of lines of credit for the six-month period ended June 30 2016 and the remaining line of credit as of June 30, 2016 is as below:

Subtotal (credit term>1 year)			1,187.6		179.1		97.4
Total			5,356.0		807.7		303.9

We have historically been able to make repayments when due. As of June 30, 2016, we have contractual obligations to pay (i) lease commitments in the amount of US$4.0 million, including US$1.1 million due in one year; (ii) equipment acquisition and facility construction in the amount of US$35.4 million; (iii) long-term bank loan in the amount of US$208.7 million (including principals and interests); and (iv) notes payable in the amount of US$175.3 million (including redemption amount and accrued 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$)	2016			2015
Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities		(93.9	)		71.7
Net cash used in investing activities		(81.3	)		(120.1	)
Net cash provided by financing activities		114.4			55.5
Effect of foreign currency exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents		(1.1	)		0.1
Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents		(61.9	)		7.2
Cash and cash equivalents at the beginning of period		119.9			45.5
Cash and cash equivalents at the end of period		58.0			42.7

Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities decreased to US$93.9 million cash outflow for the six-month period ended June 30, 2016 from net cash provided by operating activities of US$71.7 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2015, primarily due to (i) the increase of approximately US$193.0 million in cash operating payments, including raw material purchases, rental and personnel costs, (ii) the increase of US$6.9 million in income tax payments, and, (iii) the decrease of approximately US$3.2 million released from restricted cash, (iv) the decrease of US$1.5 million in interest income received, (v) the increase of US$0.6 million interest payments and, (vi) the decrease of approximately US$0.7 million cash inflow due to the forward contract settlement, partially offset by (vii) the increase of approximately US$38.1 million in cash collected from our customers for the six-month period ended June 30, 2016, and (viii) the increase of US$2.2 million received from government grant for the six-month period ended June 30, 2016.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in the investing activities was US$81.3 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2016 as compared to US$120.1 million for the same period of last year, mainly due to (i) the decrease of US$79.5 million purchase of property, plant and equipment, (ii) the decrease of US$6.9 million acquisition of land use right and, (iii) the increase of US$8.8 million government grant related to the construction of Sichuan plant, partially offset by (iv) the increase of US$55.8 million purchase of time deposits, and (v) the decrease of US$0.7 million proceeds from maturity of time deposits.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by the financing activities was US$114.4 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2016, as compared to US$55.5 million for the same period of last year, primarily as a result of (i) the increase of US$75.9 million borrowings of bank loans, and (ii) the increase of US$28.4 million release from restricted cash as collateral for bank borrowings for the six-month period ended June 30, 2016, partially offset by (iii) the increase of US$42.7 million repayments of bank borrowings and (iv) the increase of US$2.8 million of placement of restricted cash as collateral for bank borrowings.

As of June 30, 2016, our cash and cash equivalents balance was US$58.0 million, compared to US$119.9 million at December 31, 2015.

Days Sales Outstanding ("DSO") has increased from 78 days for the year ended December 31, 2015 to 79 days for the six-month ended June 30, 2016.

We believe that our DSO is still well below industry average Industry Standard Customer and Supplier Payment Terms (days) as below:

	Six-month period ended June 30, 2016	Year ended December 31, 2015
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 has increased from 120 days for the year ended December 31, 2015 to 162 days for the six-month ended June 30, 2016. The Company has the credit terms with major suppliers for 90 days in 2016, in order to better manage its operating cash flows. Turnover days of payables have increased from 90 days for the year ended December 31, 2015 to 103 days for the six-month ended June 30, 2016.

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. It is anticipated that the redemption will be funded by the Company’s cash and bank deposits, existing credit facilities and other funding sources.

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.

Legal Proceedings

The Company and certain of its officers and directors have been 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 Section 10(b) and Section 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, 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. On November 21, 2014, the Court consolidated the actions and appointed lead plaintiffs. On February 17, 2015, the lead plaintiffs filed a Consolidated Class Action Complaint on behalf of a class of all persons other than the defendants who purchased the common stock of China XD Plastics Company Limited between March 25, 2014 and July 10, 2014, both dates inclusive. Specifically, the lead plaintiffs allege that the Company and two of its officers made false or misleading statements and/or omitted material facts in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 and the Company's Form 10-Q for the first quarter ended March 31, 2014. They also assert that the individual defendants are liable because they allegedly controlled the Company during the time the allegedly false and misleading statements and omissions were made. The lead plaintiffs seek damages in unspecified amounts. On April 3, 2015, the Company moved to dismiss the Consolidated Class Action Complaint. On March 23, 2016, the Court entered an Opinion and Order dismissing the Consolidated Class Action Complaint without prejudice. On May 6, 2016, plaintiffs moved the Court for leave to amend the Complaint. On June 24, 2016, the Company filed its opposition to the plaintiffs' motion. The plaintiffs' reply to the Company's opposition is due August 8, 2016. Management believes the proposed amendment is without merit and intends to vigorously defend against it.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have not engaged in any off-balance sheet transactions.

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 June 30, 2016 would decrease income before income taxes by approximately US$3.3 million for the six-month ended June 30, 2016. 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. On June 30, 2016, the RMB traded at 6.6312 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, 2015.

Notwithstanding management’s assessment that our internal control over financial reporting was ineffective as of December 31, 2015 due to one material weakness as identified in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015, 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 quarter ended June 30, 2016 in all material respects.

(b) Changes in internal controls.

During the six-month ended June 30, 2016, our efforts to improve our internal controls over financial reporting include (1) recruiting qualified accounting staff in Xinda Beijing Investment with requisite expertise and knowledge to help improve our internal control procedures, (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, 2016.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

The Company and certain of its officers and directors have been 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 Section 10(b) and Section 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, 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. On November 21, 2014, the Court consolidated the actions and appointed lead plaintiffs. On February 17, 2015, the lead plaintiffs filed a Consolidated Class Action Complaint on behalf of a class of all persons other than the defendants who purchased the common stock of China XD Plastics Company Limited between March 25, 2014 and July 10, 2014, both dates inclusive. Specifically, the lead plaintiffs allege that the Company and two of its officers made false or misleading statements and/or omitted material facts in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 and the Company's Form 10-Q for the first quarter ended March 31, 2014. They also assert that the individual defendants are liable because they allegedly controlled the Company during the time the allegedly false and misleading statements and omissions were made. The lead plaintiffs seek damages in unspecified amounts. On April 3, 2015, the Company moved to dismiss the Consolidated Class Action Complaint. On March 23, 2016, the Court entered an Opinion and Order dismissing the Consolidated Class Action Complaint without prejudice. On May 6, 2016, plaintiffs moved for leave to amend the Complaint. On June 24, 2016, the Company filed its opposition to the plaintiffs' motion. The plaintiffs' reply to the Company's opposition is due August 8, 2016. Management believes the proposed amendment is without merit and will continue to vigorously defend against it.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Part I. Item 1A. “Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 includes a detailed discussion of risks and uncertainties which could adversely affect our future results. 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 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. Except as set forth below, during the six months ended June 30, 2016, there have been no material changes to the Risk Factors disclosed in "Part I. Item 1A. Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015.

The redemption of our senior notes may have adverse effects on our results of operations, financial condition and/or liquidity.

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"). The Notes are guaranteed on a senior basis by the Company (the "Parent Guarantor") and Xinda Holding (HK) Company Limited, a subsidiary wholly owned by the Note Issuer (the "Subsidiary Guarantor") and secured by a pledge of the shares of the Note Issuer and the Subsidiary Guarantor. On June 30, 2016, the Company announced to redeem all of the 11.75% guaranteed senior notes due on February 4, 2019 (the "Notes") outstanding on August 29, 2016 (the “Redemption Date”) at redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes plus the Applicable Premium (as defined in the Indenture) as of the Redemption Date (the “Redemption Price”) plus accrued and unpaid interest up to (but not including) the Redemption Date. The redemption may result in our incurring substantial costs and the diversion of our resources, which may have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition and/or liquidity.
