HAIKE CHEMICAL GROUP LTD.
INTERIM RESULTS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 30 JUNE 2010
(UNAUDITED)
HaiKe Chemical Group Ltd. ("HaiKe" or the "Company"), the AIM quoted (AIM: HAIK) petrochemical, speciality chemical and biochemical business based in China, is pleased to announce its unaudited results for the six months ended 30 June 2010.
Highlights
l Total revenue increased by 78.7% to US$ ("$") 467.2m over the same period last year (H1 2009: $261.5m)
l Petrochemical revenues increased by 86.9% to $407.8m (H1 2009: $218.2m)
l Chemical products revenues increased by 37.0% to $59.4m (H1 2009: $43.4m)
l Gross profit decreased by 93.9% to $1.4m (H1 2009: $23.1m)
l Loss for the period was $21.2m (H1 2009: profit of $10.8m)
l Loss after non-controlling interest was $14.8m (H1 2009: profit of $9.9m)
Mr. Xiaohong Yang, Executive Chairman, said:
"The first six months of 2010 have been challenging, during which the Company successfully achieved a significant increase in revenues of 86.9% and 37.0% in petrochemical and chemical products businesses respectively. Consequently, total revenue increased substantially by 78.7% as a result of improved demand and our effective strategy in adjusting our product mix.
During the first half of 2010, the high feedstock price has made the overall environment very challenging and has affected the Company's profitability. Ruilin was in the initial trial phase of operation which meant its profit contribution was variable; however, we anticipate this will stabilise over time.
For the remainder of 2010, the Company will focus strongly on controlling feedstock purchase costs so as to improve overall group performance."

First Half 2010 Results
In the period under review, total revenue increased 78.7% to $467.2m (H1 2009: $261.5m). The Company experienced a significant improvement in revenues across all business streams as a result of an increase in demand and adjustments in product mix. Petrochemical revenues increased by 86.9% to $407.8m (2009: $218.2m) and sales for chemical products increased by 37.0% to $59.4m (H1 2009: $43.4m).
Despite the rise in revenues, it was not enough to off-set the decrease in selling price and our total cost of sales arising from the high crude oil price and the significant expansion of our petrochemicals business. Cost of sales increased to $465.8m (H1 2009: $238.4m) in the first half which consequently decreased our gross profit to $1.4m (H1 2009: $23.1m).
During the period under review, other operating income rose to $0.2m (H1 2009: $0.1m). In the first six months of 2010, administrative expenses increased to $9.3m (H1 2009: $5.3m) 2010 which were mainly due to start up costs incurred by Ruilin during the initial trial phase of operation. Selling and distribution expenses increased 14.9% from $2.1m to $2.5m as a result of transportation costs and business development costs due to a rise in sales volume across the group. The Company has incurred an operating loss of $10.1m (H1 2009: operating income of $15.7m).
Finance expenses increased to $11.5m (H1 2009: $5.4m) in the period under review but remained unchanged since the year end at 31 December 2009, when it benefited from a cost reduction due to lower tax rates. Finance income reduced 30.9%
The Company has incurred a loss of $21.2m during the first half of this year (H1 2009 profit: $10.8m). Loss attributable to the Company's shareholders was $14.8m resulting in a net loss per share of $0.386 (basic and diluted). In the first half of 2009, profit attributable to the Company's shareholders was $9.9m with earnings per share of $0.258 (basic and diluted).
Capital Expenditure
Investment in property, plant and equipment decreased from $51.5m in the first half of 2009 to $48.3m in the same period in 2010, representing a 6.2% reduction. During the first half of 2009, the Company invested heavily in various projects including construction of Ruilin refinery facilities, and a new production and a research and development facility for Tiandong Biochemical. The Company has since successfully completed the construction of Ruilin and as a result investment in property, plant and equipment reduced in the period under review.
Cash Flows
In the first half of 2010, cash used for operating activities amounted to $49.2m compared to $26.4m in 2009 due to increased refinery feedstock inventory, trade and other receivables.
During the period under review, cash outflow for investment in property, plant and equipment was $38.0m (H1 2009: $41.5m), representing an 8.6% reduction. During the first half of 2010, the Company also invested $2.3m in purchasing intangible assets in comparison with $5.5m cash outflow for the first six months of 2009. The cash outflow was mainly funded from an increase in bank facilities of $192.5m (H1 2009: $108.1m). As at 30 June 2010, short-term borrowings amounted to $366.4m and the Company has long-term borrowings of $92.9m. It is standard practice for the Chinese banking system to provide bank borrowings on a short-term renewal basis to most non-government controlled businesses. In order to secure the borrowings the Company has placed on deposit $149.4m (31 December 2009: $120.6m) of cash ("Restricted Cash").
Cash and cash equivalents decreased from $51.8m as at 31 December 2009 to $43.8m as at 30 June 2010.
Liquidity and Financial Risk
We believe that the Company has sufficient funds to meet foreseeable business requirements as long as the Chinese Banks continue to support HaiKe. HaiKe has enjoyed, and continues to enjoy, good relationships with local banks which are supportive of the Company's business. However, if the Group continues to incur further losses or loses banking support, the Group may have liquidity risks.
Operational Review
Our efforts in increasing our group sales by adjusting products mix has resulted in a 78.7% increase in revenue. Our primary business segment, the petrochemical revenues contributed $407.8m, representing a growth of 86.9% (H1 2009: $218.2m). Revenues for our chemicals division also rose by 37.0% to $59.4m (H1 2009: $43.4m).
Despite our effective strategy in growing revenues, the high crude oil price combined with tight control over selling price of refinery products in China had made the business environment ever more challenging and significantly undermined HaiKe's profitability. Our investment in Ruilin has expanded HaiKe's production capacity considerably and we continue to improve its efficiencies and utilisation. Loss attributable to shareholders of the parent was $14.8m (H1 2009 profit attributable to shareholders: $9.9m) and loss per share was $0.386 per share (basic and diluted) (H1 2009 earnings per share: $0.258 per share (basic and diluted)).
During the first half of 2010, in order to gain more effective control over fuel oil feedstock inventory, HaiKe has spent $54.4m (H1 2009: $40.0m). During the period under review, the Company incurred cash outflow of $13.2m (H1 2009 cash inflow: $9.0m) resulting from increased trade and other receivables. The Company has relied on raising funds from both short-term and long-term borrowings from local banks to improve its cash flow status.
Outlook
HaiKe has completed the expansion of its production facilities in the past few years and revenue has grown significantly. This reflects the high level of demand that exists in our domestic market. However, in light of the high raw material price and strict controls over selling prices of refined products imposed by the Chinese government, the outlook for the remainder of the 2010 is uncertain. We believe that the Company will incur losses for the whole year.

6. Contingencies
Up to 30 June 2010, as a warrantor, the Group has guaranteed the bank loans of third parties to aggregate amount of $277,996,020 (31 December 2009: $218,955,682; 30 June 2009: $125,800,000). It is unlikely that any significant liability to the Group will arise because the financial statements of the warrantees indicate that they are able to pay their debts as they mature. The directors are of the view that they do not expect any liability to arise in respect of the guarantee at the date of these financial statements.
