NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
(amounts in thousands except share and per share value)

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, (CONTINUED)

Principles of Consolidation
 
The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its two subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. 

Foreign Currency Transactions
 
The Group’s reporting currency is the Renminbi (“RMB”).
 
The Company and Fuwei (BVI) operate in Hong Kong as investment holding companies and their financial records are maintained in Hong Kong dollars, being the functional currency of these two entities. Assets and liabilities are translated into RMB at the exchange rates at the balance sheet date, equity accounts are translated at historical exchange rates and income, expenses, and cash flow items are translated using the average rate for the period. The translation adjustments are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income in the statements of shareholders’ equity and comprehensive income.
 
Transactions denominated in currencies other than RMB are translated into RMB at the exchange rates quoted by the People’s Bank of China (the “PBOC”) prevailing at the dates of transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into RMB using the applicable exchange rates quoted by the PBOC at the balance sheet dates. The resulting exchange differences are recorded in the statements of income.
 
RMB is not fully convertible into foreign currencies. All foreign exchange transactions involving RMB must take place either through the PBOC or other institutions authorized to buy and sell foreign currency. The exchange rate adopted for the foreign exchange transactions are the rates of exchange quoted by the PBOC which are determined largely by supply and demand.

Trade Accounts Receivable
 
Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount after deduction of trade discounts, value added taxes and allowances, if any, and do not bear interest. The allowance for doubtful accounts is the Group’s best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in the Group’s existing accounts receivable. The Group determines the allowance based on historical write-off experience, customer specific facts and economic conditions.
 
The Group reviews its allowance for doubtful accounts monthly. Past due balances over 90 days and over a specified amount are reviewed individually for collectibility. All other balances are reviewed on a pooled basis by aging of such balances. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. The Group does not have any off-balance-sheet credit exposure related to its customers.
 
The Group has a credit policy in place and the exposure to credit risk is monitored on an ongoing basis. Credit evaluations are performed on all customers requiring credit over a certain amount. These receivables are due within 7 to 60 days from the date of billing. Normally, the Group does not obtain collateral from customers.
 
The Company’s allowance for bad debts was RMB 872 (US$ 113) at December 31, 2006, and there was no allowance for bad debts at March 31, 2007.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, (CONTINUED)

Intangible Assets
 
The Group acquired a trademark for use in the production and distribution of plastic flexible packaging materials. The trademark is carried at cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization expense is recognized on the straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of 5 years of the trademark. Intangible asset were shown net of accumulated amortization of RMB 91 (US$12 ) and RMB 109 (US$ 14) as of March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively.
 
Goodwill
 
Goodwill represents the excess of purchased cost over fair value of net assets of the Shandong Fuwei’s acquired business. Goodwill is evaluated for impairment annually. The Company evaluates the carrying value of goodwill during the fourth quarter of each year and between annual evaluations if events occur or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the reporting unit below its carrying amount. Such circumstances could include, but are not limited to: (1) a significant adverse change in legal factors or in business climate, (2) unanticipated competition, or (3) an adverse action or assessment by a regulator. When evaluating whether goodwill is impaired, the Company compares the fair value of the reporting unit to which the goodwill is assigned to the reporting unit’s carrying amount, including goodwill. The fair value of the reporting unit is estimated using a combination of the income, or discounted cash flows, approach and the market approach, which utilizes comparable companies’ data. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, then the amount of the impairment loss must be measured. The impairment loss would be calculated by comparing the implied fair value of reporting unit goodwill to its carrying amount. In calculating the implied fair value of reporting unit goodwill, the fair value of the reporting unit is allocated to all of the other assets and liabilities of that unit based on their fair values. The excess of the fair value of a reporting unit over the amount assigned to its other assets and liabilities is the implied fair value of goodwill. An impairment loss would be recognized when the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds its implied fair value. The Company’s evaluation of goodwill completed during the period resulted in no impairment losses.

Impairment of Long-lived Assets
 
Long-lived assets, other than goodwill, including property, plant, and equipment and intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.
 
Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount in which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset.

Revenue Recognition 
 
Sales of plastic flexible packaging materials are reported, net of value added taxes (“VAT”), sales returns, trade discounts and allowances. The standard terms and conditions under which the Group generally delivers allow a customer the right to return product for refund only if the product does not conform to product specifications; the non-conforming product is identified by the customer; and the customer rejects the non-conforming product and notifies the Group within 7 days and 30 days of receipt for sales to customers in the PRC and overseas, respectively. The Group recognizes revenue when products are delivered and the customer takes ownership and assumes risk of loss, collection of the relevant receivable is probable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists and the sales price is fixed or determinable.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, (CONTINUED)
 
Revenue Recognition, (continued)
 
In the PRC, VAT of 17% on invoice amount is collected in respect of the sales of goods on behalf of tax authorities. The VAT collected is not revenue of the Group; instead, the amount is recorded as a liability on the consolidated balance sheet until such VAT is paid to the authorities.
 
Government Grants
 
Government grants are recognized in the consolidated balance sheet initially as deferred income when they have been received. Grants that compensate the Group for expenses incurred are recognized as a reduction of expenses in the consolidated statement of income in the same period in which the related expenses are incurred.
 
For the three month period ended March 31, 2007 government grants of RMB 200 (US$ 26 ) were recognized to compensate research and development expenses incurred.
 
Retirement and Other Postretirement Benefits

Contributions to retirement schemes (which are defined contribution plans) are charged to expense as and when the related employee service is provided.

Income Taxes
 
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
 
 
 
Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with US GAAP requires management of the Group to make a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. On an ongoing basis, management reviews its estimates and assumptions including those related to the recoverability of the carrying amount and the estimated useful lives of long-lived assets, valuation allowances for accounts receivable and realizable values for inventories. Changes in facts and circumstances may result in revised estimates.

Use of Estimates, (continued)

Contingencies
In the normal course of business, the Group is subject to contingencies, including legal proceedings and claims arising out of the business that relate to a wide range of matters, including among others, product liability. The Group recognizes a liability for such contingency if it determines it is probable that a loss has occurred and a reasonable estimate of the loss can be made. The Group may consider many factors in making these assessments including past history and the specifics of each matter. As the Group has not become aware of any product liability claim since operations commenced, the Group has not recognized a liability for any product liability claims.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards
 
FIN 48

In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainties in Income Taxes - an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (“FIN 48”), which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in the Group’s financial statements in accordance with SFAS No.109, Accounting from Income Taxes. FIN 48 provides guidance on the measurement, recognition, classification and disclosure of tax positions, along with accounting for the related interest and penalties. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006, and is to be applied to all open tax years as of the date of effectiveness. The Company does not expect the adoption of FIN 48 to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
SFAS No. 157

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS No. 157”). SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements, the FASB having previously concluded in those accounting pronouncements that fair value is the relevant measurement attribute. Accordingly, SFAS No. 157 does not require any new fair value measurements. Under SFAS No. 157, fair value refers to price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants in the market in which the reporting entity transacts. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 157 to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements

SFAS No 158

During September of 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS NO 158 “Employer’s Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and other Postretirement Plans”. Currently the Company has no defined benefit pension or other postretirement plans, therefore, the adoption of this SFAS is not expected to have any impact on the Company’s consolidated statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards, (continued)

During February of 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS NO 159 “ The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities”. This SFAS permits Companies to choose to measure eligible items at fair value at specific election dates. This SFAS becomes effective for Companies with fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company is currently evaluating the effect, if any, that adoption of this SFAS will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

SAB 108
 
In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements (“SAB 108”). SAB 108 provides interpretive guidance on how the effects of the carryover or reversal of prior year misstatements should be considered in quantifying a current year misstatement. The SEC staff believes that registrants should quantify errors using both a balance sheet and an income statement approach and evaluate whether either approach results in a quantifying misstatement that, when all relevant quantitative and qualitative factors are considered, is material. SAB 108 is effective for the Company’s fiscal year ending December 31, 2006. The initial adoption of SAB 108 had no impact on the consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 8-INCOME TAX, (continued)

In addition, Shandong Fuwei has been granted certain tax relief under which it is exempted from PRC income tax for the period from January 28, 2003 to December 31, 2006.
 
Pursuant to the acquisition by Fuwei (BVI), Shandong Fuwei became a wholly foreign-owned enterprise under the laws of the PRC on January 5, 2005. Accordingly, Shandong Fuwei is entitled to a new 2-year exemption of the 3-year 50% reduction for Foreign Enterprise Income Tax holiday whereby the profit for the first two financial years beginning with the first profit-making year (after setting off tax losses carried forward from prior years) is exempted from income tax in the PRC and the profit for each of the subsequent three financial years is taxed at 50% of the prevailing tax rates set by the relevant tax authorities. The tax holiday of Shandong Fuwei commenced in 2005.

The tax holiday resulted in tax savings as follows:

On December 29, 2006, the Standing Committee of the Tenth National People’s Congress (“NPC”) passed a resolution to submit the draft Enterprises Income Tax Law (“New Tax Law”) to the Tenth NPC plenary session for voting. The New Tax Law was adopted on March 16, 2007. Under the New Tax Law, which will become effective on January 1, 2008, domestic enterprises and foreign-invested enterprises will generally become subject to a unified enterprise income tax rate of 25%, except that enterprises incorporated prior to March 16, 2007 may continue to enjoy existing preferential tax treatments until January 1, 2013. As a result of the New Tax Law, even if Shandong Fuwei continues to maintain its high-tech enterprise status, Shandong Fuwei will be subject to the increased 25% unified enterprise income tax rate on January 1, 2013.

Income tax benefit reported in the consolidated statements of income differs from the income tax expense amount computed by applying the PRC income tax rate (the statutory tax rate of the Company’s principal subsidiary). For the periods ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, due to the tax holiday the company's effective tax rates were 7.5% and 0% respectively, saving 50% and 100% of the 15% rate for high - tech enterprises located in the Development District of national level in China.

NOTE 9-Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits 

Pursuant to the relevant PRC regulations, the Group is required to make contributions at a rate of 20% of employees’ salaries and wages to a defined contribution retirement scheme organized by the local Social Bureau in respect of the retirement benefits for the Group’s employees in the PRC. The total amount of contributions of RMB 346 (US$ 45) and RMB 338 (US$ 44) for the periods ended March 31, 2006 and 2007, respectively, was charged to administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of income. The Group has no other obligation to make payments in respect of retirement benefits of the employees.
 
NOTE 10 - SUPPLEMENTAL DISCLOSURE OF CASH FLOW INFORMATION
 
For the three months ended March 31, 2007, no income taxes were paid and the remaining unpaid balance of income taxes as of March 31, 2007 was RMB 981 (US$ 127). No income taxes were paid for the three months ended March 31, 2006 because the Company was tax-exempt during the year 2006, and it started paying income taxes from 2007. Interest paid amounted to RMB 4,774 (US$ 614) and RMB 4,005 (US$ 519) for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

NOTE 11 - EARNINGS PER SHARE
 
The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings per Share" (SFAS 128). SFAS 128 requires the presentation of earnings per share (EPS) as Basic EPS and Diluted EPS. There are no differences between Basic and Diluted EPS for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006.
 
Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing net earnings by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing net earnings by the weighted average number of ordinary and dilutive potential ordinary shares outstanding during the year. Diluted potential ordinary shares consist of shares issuable pursuant to stock option plan.
 
The weighted average number of shares used to calculate EPS was 13,062,500 and 771 for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 respectively, and reflect only the shares outstanding for those periods.
 
Basic and diluted earnings per share for the periods ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 have been calculated as follows:

The company uses the treasure stock method to compute dilution related to outstanding stock options.

Note 13 -COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Shandong Fuwei entered into an agreement for the rental of a BOPET production line with Shandong Weifang Legang Food Co., Ltd ( “Legang”) for three years on March 5, 2007. This rental production line from Legang will also be used for BOPET film manufacturing, primarily for producing general thick film. The Company plans to enter a part of the thick film market in advance of the third production line’s completion by renting this production line. Shandong Fuwei has commenced the trial operation of this rental line from April 1, 2007.

The operating leases also include the Company rental of warehouse and staff quarters. The term of these leases typically ranges from 1 to 5 years, and are renewable, subject to renegotiation of terms, upon expiration.

In 2006, Shandong Fuwei received a correspondence relating to an arbitration proceeding initiated by DMT S. A. (“DMT”) against Shandong Neo-Luck in the ICC International Court of Arbitration and DMT is seeking monetary damages against Shandong Neo-Luck of approximately US$1,250 plus interest relating to a claim of partial non-payment for the DMT production line Shandong Fuwei acquired from Beijing Baorui in 2005. Based on an external legal opinion, the Company believes that no liability with respect to such proceeding should arise with regard to Shandong Fuwei, due to the lack of any contract or direct obligation between Shandong Fuwei and DMT. Shandong Fuwei intends to vigorously contest any claims in respect of obligations of Shandong. As of March 31, 2007, the Company has not accrued any liability in connection with this litigation.

Results of Operations for the three months ended March 31, 2007 compared to March 31, 2006

The company entered the first quarter with a number of challenges including record high energy and ingredient costs, and competitive factors in production markets. The results of the first quarter were not as good as expected largely due to the increase of income tax and Nasdaq listing maintenance expenses.

Net sales 

The Group’s net sales is primarily derived from the manufacture and sale of plastic flexible packaging materials.

Net sales for the first quarter 2007 rose to RMB 99.3million (US$12.9 million), 2.3% higher than the first quarter 2006.

First quarter 2007 sales of specialty films were RMB 38.5 million (US$5.0 million), 16.3% higher than the first quarter last year. Sales of specialty films reflected 38.8% of Fuwei’s total net revenues as compared to 34.1% in the same period of 2006. The increase was largely attributable to the stronger sales volume of the specialty films as a result of increased trial and acceptance by our customers as well as growth in the overall market.

Overseas sales in the first quarter 2007 were RMB 33.02 million (US$4.27million), which accounted for 33.3% of our total net revenues as compared to RMB 19.1 million (US$2.47 million) and 19.7% in the same period of 2006, 72.8% higher than the first quarter last year. The increase was mainly due to management developing and implementing its strategy of diversifying Fuwei’s customer portfolio and targeting more overseas clients. The Company has added a number of new customers from Korea and Europe in the first quarter 2007, which significantly contributes to the increase of overseas sales.

Gross Profit
 
Our gross profit was RMB 23.6 million (US$ 3.1 million) in the first quarter 2007, representing a gross margin of 23.7%, a decreased of 0.4% from the first quarter of 2006 gross margin of 24.1%, mainly due to the increase in the price of raw materials in the first quarter of 2007 including the increase in global oil prices. We increased the price of our products during this period to partially offset the increase in the price of raw materials.
 
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses (SG&A)
 
SG&A expenses in the first quarter of 2007 were RMB 6.2 million (US$0.8 million), which was RMB1.9 million (US$0.2 million) or 44.6% higher than the first quarter of 2006. This was mainly due to the increased costs related to being a U.S. listed, public reporting company in the first quarter of 2007 when we were not during the same period in the prior year.
 
Interest Expense
 
Interest expense totaled RMB 3.2 million (US$0.4 million) in the first quarter of 2007 compared to RMB 3.3 million (US$ 0.4 million) in the first quarter of 2006 showing only a small decrease of less than 1%.
 
Other Income /(expense)
 
Our other expenses during the period ended March 31, 2007, amounted to RMB 2.6 million (US$ 0.3 million), 8.0% lower than previous comparable period.
 
Net Income
 
Net Income in the first quarter of 2007 was RMB 13.3 million (US$ 1.7 million) compared to RMB15.9 million (US$ 2.1million) in the first quarter of 2006, representing a decrease of 16.4% from the first quarter of 2006. The decrease in net income was primarily due to the increase in costs related to being a U.S. listed, public reporting company as well as the effect of income tax on earnings.

Income Tax Expense
 
In the first quarter of 2007, the company recorded an income tax expense of RMB1.5 million (US$ 0.2 million) compared to RMB 0.3 million in the first quarter of 2006. This increase was due to expiration of the 100% tax holiday period at December 31, 2006. According to “Income Tax Law of the PRC for Enterprises with Foreign Investment and Foreign Enterprises”, Shandong Fuwei is entitled to tax concessions whereby the profit for the first two financial years beginning with the first profit-making year (2005) is exempt from income tax in the PRC and the profit for each of the subsequent three financial years (2007-2009) is taxed at 50% of the prevailing tax rates set by the relevant tax authorities. Therefore, starting from 2007, the Company will be paying a 7.5% income tax rate as compared to the zero tax rate the Company paid over the past two years.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources

Operating Activities

Net cash flows provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2007, was RMB 15.8 million (US$ 2.0 million) compared with net cash flows used by operating activities of RMB 2.2 million (US$ 0.3 million ) for the three months ended March 31, 2006, for a net increase of RMB 18.0 million (US$ 2.3 million). This change in cash flows from operating activities was attributable primarily to the use of funds in 2006 to increase prepaid expenses by RMB 6.5 million (US$ 0.8 million) and to reduce accrued expenses by RMB 5.5 million (US$ 0.7 million).

Working Capital

As of March 31, 2007, the Company had working capital of RMB 85.1 million (US$11.2 million).
 
The Company anticipates that it will have adequate working capital in the foreseeable future. However, the Company may wish to borrow additional amounts or sell its common stock to realize additional funds in order to expand and grow its operations.
