| He has done a good job building the business and I think the current CEO is in a good spot to take a spot and continue the good management |
| So overall, we think our -- we have quite confidence in our company |
| Even though now Chemical business are not online yet, but we have very confidence in this segment as well |
| Apart from reducing risk to surrounding regions, we anticipated that there are three notable advantages from this flood provision plan |
| Given the company's current financial position and its substantial cash resources, the company believes that the floor protection plan will yield favorable returns over the long-term to the company |
| We anticipate a research in demand of bromine-based products and emerging products such as zinc and bromine batteries and new medical products presents opportunities for sustained demand growth |
| Despite these challenges, our company remains optimistic about the long-term equilibrium of bromine's demand and supply, we still continued |
| But once bromine price increase or come to back to its normal price, our business is very profitable in this bromine segment |
| We are happy about that |
| So, I think you guys do a good job running the business |
| But again, maybe even if you lose some money, it could really boost the stock price |
| Hopefully, you can help us to do more promotion and to increase the awareness of the company and the increase our rewards to our shareholders |
| And it is good for you |
| Unidentified Analyst That's really good if that's true |
| So that makes the plan seem a lot better |
| And as just as I have already mentioned in the past that definitely we wanted the company to consider some action to mitigate the risk of flooding and I think that's great |
| Look, thinking that we just spent $50 million in the flood prevention, that's good |
| Firstly, company will have our bromine business segment, even though now it is now very good, but because bromine price is very low now |
| It is expected to, firstly, enhance the probability of opportunity approvals to reopen factories number two and number 10 |
| Since the end of the quarter, we have observed a gradual, but consistent uptick in the market price of bromine |
| Unidentified Analyst I think if the export platforms could look at that, that would be a great thing |
| And welcome |
| And number three mitigates the risks and associated expenses related to future stops induced flooding |
| Conversely revenue from natural gas increased by 13 percentage from the equipment levy |
| Secondly, enable the drilling of additional wealth across our five operating factories |
| So, thank you |
| Then our natural gas in Sichuan province also have a big potential, because the concentration of the bromine resources there is very low |
| John, thank you very much |
| Thank you |
| But thank you very much for your answers |

| Secondly, the warning impact of COVID pandemic resulted in decreased demand for bromine in medical instruments and sterilization |
| First, the sluggish state of the construction market in China led to reduced purchase of bromine for fire retardant application |
| In the third quarter, our results were adversely impacted by the diminished price of bromine, we attribute this drop-in price to two major factors |
| Additionally, crude salt revenues declined by 70% due to an 18% decline in pricing and a 63% decrease in tonnes produced |
| The decrease in selling price of bromine reflects both economic weakness in China and an excess inventory of anticipated |
| However, despite this, the gross profit margin decreased to 7%, down from 57% |
| Specially, bromine revenue also fell by 51% from approximately $20.7 million from approximately $41.9 million |
| Especially, our bromine business suffered a gross profit loss of approximately $1.1 million compared to a profit of $12.5 million while crude salt achieved a gross profit of $511,500 compared to $1.9 million previously approximately |
| As crude salt is a byproduct of bromine, the decreased production of bromine, resulting in a reduction in production of crude salt as well |
| Especially the bromine revenues declined by 75% to approximately $4.9 million from approximately $19.8 million |
| Revenues from crude salt also declined by 51% to approximately $2.3 million from approximately $5.5 million |
| Results for the nine months ended September 30th, 2023, revenues over nine months declined by 51%, decrease of approximately $23.2 million from approximately $47.5 million |
| During the third quarter, the sales declined by 74% |
| As we issued earlier that in year 2018, Shouguang city experienced that in last impact of typhoon of India [ph] regarded as one of the most destructive typhoons in history, resulted in the region receiving 14.9 inches of rainfall, and the overflow of three major surveys along the Miho River led to extensive flooding in farmland, residential routes and industrial factories |
| All of the company's bromine factories, crude salt tanks, and mining areas it was seriously impacted, the company incurred substantial expenses amounting for more than $40 million including the write-offs and the road repairs, equipment replacement, salt pan reconstruction and redrilling of flood wheels |
| Total results for the three months ended September 30, 2023, in the third quarter of 2023, revenue only declined by 74% to approximately $5.9 million from approximately $22.9 million |
| Gross profit for the quarter was amounted to a loss of $580,000 compared to a profit of approximately $14.5 million in the previous year |
| The decrease in this net revenue was primarily due to the reduction in the volume of tons sold 43% and a 57% decrease in the average selling price of bromine |
| And secondly, because bromine is very dangerous to transport, and the transportation cost is very high |
| Additionally, we have postponed the procurement of the final equipment of our chemical factory, clear insights into opportunities for innovative bromine products |
