[Foreign Language]

First of all, thank you all for participating in Gulf Resources third quarter 2016 earnings conference call. We are very pleased with our results for 2016 third quarter, considering the time issue now I will turn the call over to Helen to review the major financial and I will do the remarks for this quarter at the end. Good morning. Thank you all for participating on this call. So now I am going to do - review on the major financial. Earlier today we have issued a press release with our unaudited and other financial information. We also filed 10-Q with the SEC. In order to leave more time to answering the question, our 2008 at 80 in order to give more time to answer the question and other important development. So today we have included more information than normal in our press release. We urge you to read it completely, so we do not have your valuable time reading this you need during the call. However, I like to start today by covering some of important highlight. For the three-month ending September 30, 2016 our revenues declined due to softness in the Chinese economy. However, our income from operation did increase slightly to $13.6 million. Net income was virtually flat and earnings per share was flat at $0.23. For the nine-months, income from operation increased 12% to $39.95 million. Net income increased 13% to $30.80 million and fully diluted earnings per share increased 12% to $0.65 from $0.58. Our balance sheet continues to strengthen, we ended the quarter with cash of approximately $141 million, and it accounts to approximately $3.02 per share well in excess of our current stock price. Net, net cash, which is cash minus all liabilities equals to approximately $2.59 per share. Also, we are in…

[Foreign Language]

The company remains opportunistic about the opportunities ahead of us. Bromine prices have remained very strong, we are seeing stabilization in the Chinese economy, which should ultimately benefit some of our more economically safety sector. Healthcare expenditures are increasing, which should benefit our pharmaceutical, chemicals business, the company making excellent progress in the trend, and we continue to believe that earnings and earnings per share in 2016 may exceed that in 2015.

[Foreign Language]

While company is not yet giving guidance for 2017, but we are optimistic with strong pricing in bromine and this segment should be strong, if the economy improves, we have configurable average, the same applies to the salt and the chemical. We believe the bottom has been reached, the key question is how soon do we see significant improvement? We should expect to have revenues and proceeds in our strong cap in next 2017 - of 2017, well, it is too soon to know the timing of exact result based on our third-party report. We are very optimistic.

[Foreign Language]

The company recognized that the shareholder would like it to take it either or - and buyback stock. As the company mentioned before, no more realize the stock to appreciate more than the amendment, the company's chairman is the largest shareholder. The management team draws very low salary and its relying on stock option to compensate them for their efforts.

[Foreign Language]

Our plan is very simple, we have committed our current cash to the drilling project in Sichuan. If this project proceeds as we hope that we have 30 or more well and be any more than $2 a share for this business alone. If the economy improves the leverage in our bromine boost up and chemical business could unable the company's outflow from current level in this segment. If all of this comes to path, we will have a company earning a very large amount of money that would be able to lease in China or Hong Kong of sale to a major field of enterprise.

[Foreign Language]

However, if the project Sichuan is not as successful as currently hoped, we will consider to utilize our cash balance to help and enable enhance shareholder value. [indiscernible] extremely patient, we only ask you to be patient for few quarters more, once we see the results of our first well, we will be able to provide you with much more clarity as to how we will enable shareholders value. And now I will turn the call back to Helen, so we can open lines for questions. Hi, operator?

[Operator Instructions] You have a question from the line of Hernandez Huari [ph]

Hello. This is Hurta [ph] I think that accounts receivable has grown a lot during the last question, can you explain us why?

Sorry? I missed your question.

Sure, no problem. I have seen that in this last quarter accounts receivable has grown a lot compared to last year, can you explain us why?

Okay. [Foreign Language]

[Foreign Language]

Okay. Hi, Mr. Liu stated. We all know that the Chinese economy is going through a difficult time and our customers as well. So they try to win - they are having some difficulties in their cash, so it can be their accounts receivables so it makes this initial increase as compared to last year.

Okay. Thank you very much. Can you also explain us…

You're welcome.

Thank you. Can you also explain us where is the cash invested, in which banks, which securities and which currencies?

Sorry, I think we are lodged at the back, so I missed your part.

Okay. Yes, the question is can you also explain us where the cash is invested, in which banks, and which foreign - if it’s just holding in a savings account or is invest any short time securities?

You mean the company's cash which account is holding, right?

That’s it, that’s it…

Okay, I got it. [Foreign Language]

[Foreign Language]

Okay. The cash in Chinese - in Chinas domestic bank account under the under the company's operating name because we have this cash for the income that we offer and the need for demand and income, so we did not make investment of this money.

Okay. Thank you very much. And last question, can management - the management has a view of wider market, or its not properly valuing the firm, and if they expect a change in the short term?

Do mean the share price?

Yes. Why the management thinks that the share price is not properly valuing the real value of the firm?

Okay. And when do you think the price…

That’s it, any risk if they expect to change in the short term?

Okay. [Foreign Language]

[Foreign Language]

Okay. This was from Liu, in fact, if you think that there are two major factors which makes the company's volume lot is expect - reflected there by market. First, we think maybe because of prejudice from different - from two countries US [ph] and China because of our different cultures and different side of views, they may not come in well and based on the contract. The second major reason maybe because the communication with them, because the company did not to commission directly as was committed for our Chinese local investors. So there may be some communication issue cut the value. As this timing goes by, and goes through - the two countries know each other more well, by the company also increasing its communication with the investors let them know and understanding the company's story and background more well, the value of the company may be reflected more fair by the market from US.

Okay. Thank you very much.

You're welcome.

Thank you.

Okay. It comes from the line of Joe Ski [ph]

Here is about the infrastructure for the gas wells, if the infrastructure completed, the well completed and the drillings complete?

Hi, Joe. Just wait a moment, I've got to confirm with Liu. I think it’s a very early to answer, just wait. [Foreign Language]

[Foreign Language]

So - hi, Joe. This comes from Mr. Liu. The wells have been constructed and there is a major warehousing also we completed, so now the underground pipe also being build. Now there are some decorations still going on.

Great. So how do we - how do you plan on transporting to natural gas?

[Foreign Language]

[Foreign Language]

Okay. Because we are not like sure about the underground gas, natural gas condition and how much it can produce yet. So at the beginning of the stage we will use the trucks first to make the natural gas in DNG format and then by truck could be reversed to outside.

Okay. Thank you. Good luck.

Okay. If there is no further questions, can I close the call for today.
