Thanks Dan and thanks everyone for being on the call. Next on behalf of the management team I will summarize on the key financial results for the fourth quarter of 2017. Also I will occasionally refer to specific production lines associated with various products. I will make clear to which products I am referring to for reference, though the numbering system for our production lines is provided in our earnings Press Release and on slide 17 of the earnings call presentation. Now let's look at our financial performance for the fourth quarter of 2017. Please turn to slide number five. For the fourth quarter of 2017 total revenue increased by 12.9% to $35.4 million, due to increase in ASP and then partially offset by decreases in sales volumes across all product categories. Production of tissue paper was suspended in September and October for the replacement of coal boilers, and began intermittent production in the following months. In addition we decreased the production volume of regular CMP, Light-Weight CMP and offset printing paper and the sales of these products due to environmental conditions in Northern China. Turning to slide eight, for the fourth quarter of 2017 CMP segment, including those regular CMP and the Light-Weight CMP generated revenue of $29.8 million, representing 84.1% of total revenue. $24.6 million of revenue was from our regular CMP product and 5.2 million was from Light-Weight CMP. Volumes for the CMP segment decreased by 11.5% to 53,705 tonnes, of which 44,411 tonnes was regular CMP and 9,294 tonnes was light-weight CMP.
