谢谢。请记住,所有数字均以美元计,所有比较均为同比比较,除非另有说明。我们生产线的编号系统已在我们的收益新闻稿和收益演示文稿第27页中提供。现在让我们来看2014年第三季度的财务数据。请翻到第7页。总收入增长8.1%至4080万美元,这得益于我们常规CMP生产和轻质CMP生产的爬坡,后者首次贡献了完整季度的收入。毛利润为640万美元,而去年同期为840万美元,毛利率为13.7%,低于去年的22.4%。下降是由于材料成本增加导致的销售成本上升。营业利润为490万美元,营业利润率为12.1%,低于一年前的20.1%。净利润为340万美元,净利润率为8.3%,低于去年的13.7%。基本和稀释每股收益为0.18美元,而2013年同期为0.30美元。转到第8页,关于我们的现金状况,截至2014年9月30日,我们的现金及现金等价物增长121%至690万美元,而2013年底为310万美元。2014年前三季度的经营现金流增长96.8%至7580万美元,去年同期为1820万美元。现在让我们更仔细地看看我们的产品细分,从第9页的CMP开始。该细分包括我们PM6的常规CMP和PM1的轻质CMP。第三季度,该业务部门创造了2930万美元的收入,占总收入的70%。销售量增长24%至82,217吨。常规CMP的平均售价下降3.3%至每吨355美元,原因是客户需求下降。而轻质CMP的平均售价为每吨369美元,利用率为76%,而2014年第二季度PM6的利用率为75%。现在请翻到第10页,关于我们的胶版印刷纸细分。第三季度收入为1080万美元,占总收入的26.6%。销售量为16,791吨,平均售价为每吨687美元,较去年同期增长1.2%。第11页提供了一个显示我们收入构成的图表,显示CMP的贡献逐季度增加。它在第三季度占总收入的72%,而数码相纸下降至仅1.4%。我们现在将继续讨论我们的运营和业务更新。请翻到第13页,了解我们PM6爬坡的最新情况。第三季度的平均利用率为76.6%,而上一季度为74.9%。公司将继续专注于第四季度PM6的爬坡。现在让我们转到第14页,了解PM1现代化的最新情况。正如之前宣布的,我们在第二季度开始商业化生产新改造的PM1,生产轻质CMP。我们已成功爬坡PM1生产,在其第一个完整生产季度生产了13,336吨纸。PM1的年产能预计将从2015年的约50,000吨增加到约60,000吨。接下来让我们看第17页,了解我们的卫生纸扩建项目。威县厂区的办公楼、工厂和仓库建设已进入最后阶段。卫生纸包装设备正在安装中。正如我们之前宣布的,由于上半年资金延迟,我们预计PM8的完工日期将在2015年下半年。第18页有一些我们威县厂区的照片供您参考。如您所见,我们正在车间卫生纸包装区安装加工线。安装完成后,包装区的加工线可以独立于卫生纸机区运行,并可以使用从第三方采购的原纸加工商业化的卫生纸产品。现在让我们转到第19页,向您更新PM4和PM5的搬迁情况。正如之前宣布的,由于县政府的重新分区政策,我们被迫搬迁这条生产线。并且我们需要出售公司总部的土地以遵守重新分区规定。我们已经开始将PM4和PM5数码相纸生产线以及相关设备从位于总部大院的车间搬迁到公司徐水造纸厂街对面的新地点,我们将其命名为徐水厂区附属厂。新地点徐水厂区附属厂将使东方纸业受益,因为它靠近我们所有其他当前的运营线,这些运营线或多或少都在同一区域。PM4和PM5已于2014年9月30日关闭进行搬迁,我们已经开始搬迁设备并为新车间和设施做其他准备工作。预计运营将在2015年下半年恢复,届时搬迁完成。接下来让我们看第21页,了解我们融资和债务重组的最新情况。首先,我们要强调公司在中国的融资没有问题。然而,由于中国政府的信贷紧缩政策,当地银行无法提供我们更希望获得的长期贷款。正如之前宣布的,我们能够在7月获得融资,因为我们与另一家银行签订了一系列银行承兑汇票融资协议,总金额约为1140万美元,期限不超过12个月。我们认为与新银行的新信贷额度证明了我们的财务实力。截至2014年9月30日,我们的资产负债率为25.82%,远低于中国前20大公开上市造纸厂53.06%的行业平均水平。前六家公司的资产负债率均超过60%。关于展望和指引,请翻到第23页。对于市场需求,我们预计第四季度箱板纸的季节性需求将回升,为圣诞节和春节假期做准备。在监管环境方面,政府预计将继续推动行业效率和环境保护。中国工业和信息化部于2014年7月24日宣布,包括河北省50万吨在内的397万吨纸和纸浆制造产能将在2014年底前强制淘汰。2014年8月18日,另一份要求在2014年底前关闭的落后造纸设施名单公布。该名单包括66万吨造纸产能,其中河北省5000吨。我们相信产能的减少将确保行业健康发展,价格稳定,环境影响减少。由于市场条件困难,以及政府因APEC峰会和国庆假期关闭而强制暂停我们生产设施的影响存在不确定性,我们此时已重新调整了之前的2014财年指引。正如刘先生提到的,一旦我们能够获得更大的可见性,并且能够提供有意义且准确的指引,我们将提供指引。现在刘先生的翻译将为我们带来他的结束语。请翻到第24页。

Thank you. Please be reminded that all numbers are in U.S. dollars and all comparisons refer to year-over-year comparisons unless otherwise stated. The numbering system for our production lines is provided in our earnings press release and on slide number 27 of the earning presentation. Now let’s look at our financials for the third quarter of 2014. Please turn to slide number 7. Total revenue was up 8.1% to $40.8 million as a result of the ramp up of our regular CMP production and on Light-Weight CMP production which had its first full quarter of revenue contribution. Gross profit was $6.4 million, compared to $8.4 million in the prior year, while gross margin was 13.7% down from 22.4%. The decline was due to the higher cost of sales resulting from increased material cost. Income from operations was $4.9 million and operating margin was 12.1%, down from 20.1% a year ago. Net income was $3.4 million and net income margin was 8.3%, down from 13.7%. Basic and diluted earnings per share was $0.18, compared to $0.30 for the corresponding period of 2013. Moving to slide 8, on our cash position, as of September 30, 2014, our cash and cash equivalents were up 121% to $6.9 million, compared to $3.1 million at the end of 2013. Operating cash flow, during the first three quarter of 2014 were up 96.8% to $75.8 million from $18.2 million in the prior year period. Now let’s take a closer look at our product segments, starting with CMP on slide 9. This segment includes both our regular CMP from PM6 and on Light-Weight CMP from PM1. In Q3 we generated $29.3 million for this business segment, representing 70% of total revenue. Sales volumes were up 24% to 82,217 tons. ASP for Regular CMP decreased 3.3% to $355 per ton due to lower customer demand. While ASP for Light-Weight CMP was $369 per ton, utilization rate was 76% compared to 75% for PM6 in Q2 of 2014. Now let’s turn to slide number 10, on our Offset Printing Paper segment. In Q3 revenue was $10.8 million, representing 26.6% of total revenue. Sales volumes were 16,791 tons and ASP was $687 per tonne which was up 1.2% from the prior year period. Slide number 11 provides a chart showing our revenue mix, which shows CMP increasing its contribution chart quarter-by-quarter. It represented 72% of total revenue in Q3 while Digital Photo Paper decreased to only 1.4%. We will now move on to discuss our operational and business updates. Please turn to slide 13 for an update of our PM6 ramp-up. The average utilization rate in the third quarter was 76.6% compared to 74.9% in the previous quarter. The company will continue to focus on the ramp-up of PM6 in the fourth quarter. Now let’s move on to slide 14 for an update of PM1 modernization. As previously announced, we commenced commercial production of the newly renovated PM1, producing Light-Weight CMP in the second quarter. We have successfully ramped-up our PM1 production achieving 13,336 tons of paper in its first full quarter of production. The annual production capacity of PM1 is expected to increase from approximately 50,000 tons to approximately 60,000 tons in 2015. Next let’s look at slide 17 for our Tissue Paper expansion project. The construction of the office building, factories, and warehouses at Wei County site is in final stages. The Tissue Paper packaging equipments are being installed. As we previously announced with a funding delay during the first half of the year leaves us to expect completion date of PM8 to be in the second half of 2015. On slide 18 there are some photographs for our Wei County site here for your reference. As you can see, we are in the process of installing the processing line in the Tissue Paper packaging section of the workshop. When the installation is completed, the processing line in the packaging section can function independently from the Tissue Paper machine section and can process commercially marketable Tissue Paper products using base paper sourced from third parties. Now let’s move to slide 19 to update you on the relocation of PM4 and PM5. As previously announced we have been forced to move this production line, because of the County government’s rezoning policy. And we are required to sell the land of our company headquarter to comply with the rezoning mandate. We have begun relocating the, PM4 and PM5, Digital Photo Paper productions lines as well as related equipment from the workshops that were located in the Headquarter Compound to a new location right across the street from the company’s Xushui Paper Mill, which we named Xushui Mill Annex. The new location, Xushui Mill Annex will benefit Orient Paper, as a result of its proximity to all of our other current operation lines, which are more or less within the same neighborhood. PM4 and PM5 having shut down as of September 30, 2014 for relocation and we had begun moving equipment and making other preparations for the new workshop and facilities. The operations are expected to resume in the second half of 2015, when the relocation is complete. Next let’s look at slide number 21 for an update on our financing and debt restructure. Firstly, we would like to stress that the company has no problem in getting financing in China. However, due to the tightening credit policy of the Chinese government, local banks were unable to grant loans for a longer term than we would prefer. As previously announced, we were able to secure financing in July as we enter into a series of bank acceptance note financing agreements with a different bank for a total amount of approximately $11.4 million with terms less than or equal to 12 months. We see the new credit facility with the new bank as a testament to our financial strength. Our debt asset ratio as of September 30, 2014 was 25.82%, which is well below industry average at 53.06% for that 20 largest paper mills publicly listed in China. The debt asset ratio of the top six companies have all exceeded 60%. Regarding outlook and guidance, please turn to slide 23. For market demand, we expected season demand for container board to pick in the fourth quarter in preparation for the Christmas and Chinese New Year Holiday season. In terms of the regulatory environment, the government is expected to continue pushing for industry efficiency and environmental protection. The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of China announced on July 24, 2014 that 3.97 million tons of paper and pulp manufacturing capacities, including 500,000 tons in Hebei Province will be mandatorily retired by the end of year 2014. On August 18, 2014 another list of outdated paper facilities required for closure by the end of 2014 was announced. The list includes 0.66 million tons paper manufacturing capacity including 5000 tons in Hebei Province. We believe that the reduction in capacity will ensure a healthy industry with stable pricing and reduced environmental impact. As a result of difficult market condition and the uncertainties surrounding the impact of the government mandated halt of our production facility for the APEC Summit and the national holiday closure, we have restrung are previous fiscal 2014 guidance at this time. As Mr. Liu mentioned, we will offer guidance once we are able to gain greater visibility and also a meaningful and accurate guidance. Now Mr. Liu’s interpreter give us his closing remarks. Please turn to slide 24.
