You should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statement due to its inherent risk and uncertainties, both general and specific. Although we believe the assumptions on which the forward-looking statements are based are reasonable and within the bounds of our knowledge of our business and operations as of the date of this annual report, any or all of those assumptions could prove to be inaccurate. As a result, the forward-looking statements based on those assumptions could also be incorrect. The forward-looking statements in this Annual Report include, without limitation, statements relating to:

●

our goals and strategies;

●

●

our ability to maintain strong relationships with our customers and suppliers;

●

PRC governmental policies regarding our industry.

The forward-looking statements included in this Annual Report are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions about our businesses and business environments. These statements reflect our current views with respect to future events and are not a guarantee of our future performance. Actual results of our operations may differ materially from information contained in the forward-looking statements as a result of risk factors some of which are described under “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this Annual Report. Risks, uncertainties and assumptions include, among other things:

●

competition in the BOPET film industry;

●

growth of, and risks inherent in, the BOPET film industry in China;

●

unpredictable impact on the company’s revenue by price movements of crude oil in recent years;

●

uncertainty in our export due to trade protectionism around the world;

●

uncertainty as to future profitability and our ability to obtain adequate financing for our planned capital expenditure requirements;

●

uncertainty in our ability to develop and manufacture high value-added products for the new production line (thick film) to win in the competition;

●

uncertainty as to our ability to continuously develop new BOPET film products and keep up with changes in BOPET film technology;

●

risks associated with possible defects and errors in our products;

●

uncertainty as to our ability to protect and enforce our intellectual property rights;

●

uncertainty as to our ability to attract and retain qualified executives and personnel;

●

uncertainty as to our ability to attract and retain experienced financial reporting staff familiar with U.S. GAAP;

●

uncertainty in acquiring raw materials on time and on acceptable terms;

●

adverse effect on our business caused by adjustment of economic structure regulations of the Chinese government;

●

adverse effect on our business caused by the uncertainty in economic recovery of major developed countries; and

●

adverse effect on our business caused by extreme climate changes.

These risks, uncertainties and assumptions are not exhaustive. Other sections of this Annual Report include additional factors which could adversely impact our business and financial performance. The forward-looking statements contained in this Annual Report speak only as of the date of this annual report or, if obtained from third-party studies or reports, the date of the corresponding study or report, and are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements in this Annual Report. Since we operate in an emerging and evolving environment and new risk factors and uncertainties emerge from time to time, you should not rely upon forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. Except as otherwise required by the securities laws of the United States, we undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this Annual Report or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

Shandong Fuwei was entitled to preferential tax treatment at an EIT rate of 15% for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2012 and 2013 due to its status as a High-and-New Tech Enterprise since December 2009. In 2014, Shandong Fuwei failed to be designated as such and it became subject to a standard enterprise income tax at a rate of 25% in 2014 and 2015. Net income and basic and diluted earnings per share would be reduced by the following amounts, if Shandong Fuwei was not entitled to a reduced EIT rate for the years 2013, 2012 and 2011:

The 2015 RMB amounts included in the above selected financial data have been translated into U.S. dollars at the rate of US $1.00 = RMB6.4778, which was the noon buying rate for U.S. dollars in effect on December 31, 2015 in the City of New York for cable transfer in RMB per U.S. dollar as certified for custom purposes by the Federal Reserve Bank. No representation is made that the RMB amounts could have been, or could be, converted into U.S. dollars at that rate or at any other certain rate on December 31, 2015, or on any other date.

Exchange Rate Information

On July 21, 2005 the Chinese government changed its policy of pegging the value of the Renminbi to the U.S. dollar. This revaluation of the Renminbi was based on a conversion of Renminbi into United States dollars at an exchange rate of US$1.00=RMB8.11. Under the new policy, the Renminbi will be permitted to fluctuate within a band against a basket of certain foreign currencies. On December 31, 2015, this change in policy resulted in an approximately 20.1% appreciation in the value of the Renminbi against the U.S. dollar compared to 2005. The Company generates its revenue in the PRC in Renminbi and its overseas sales and U.S. dollars cash deposits are subject to foreign currency translations which will impact net income (loss).

B. Capitalization and indebtedness.

Not applicable.

C. Reasons for the offer and use of proceeds.

Not applicable.

D. Risk factors.

The following matters and other additional risks not presently known to us or that we deem immaterial, may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, liquidity, results of operations or prospects or otherwise. Reference to a cautionary statement in the context of a forward-looking statement or statements shall be deemed to be a statement that any one or more of the following factors may cause actual results to differ materially from those in such forward-looking statement or statements.

(a)

Risks Associated with Our Business

Our business may be adversely affected by the exchange rate fluctuation of RMB against the U.S. dollar and trade protection measures in place by several countries against exports of BOPET films from China.

Our business operation may be adversely affected due to appreciation of RMB against the U.S. dollar, and more stringent trade protection measures in place such as antidumping investigations conducted by several countries against exports of BOPET films originated from China.

A sharp fluctuation in the demand for raw materials may have a negative impact on our operations if we are unable to pass on all increases in cost of raw materials to our customers on a timely basis.

The total cost of raw materials made up approximately 66.4%, 67.8% and 71.4% of our production cost in 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The main raw materials used in our production of BOPET film are polyethylene terephthalate (or PET) resin and additives, which respectively made up approximately 82.2% and 17.8% of our total cost of raw materials in the past three years on average.

The prices of PET resin and additives are, to a certain extent, affected by the price movement of crude oil. Currently the PET resin is mainly used as a raw material in China’s textile industry. Therefore, the market prices of PET resin will fluctuate due to changes in supply and demand conditions in that industry. Any sudden shortage of supply or significant increase in demand of PET resin and additives may result in higher market prices and thereby increase our cost of sales.

In 2016, it is expected that there will be a continued capacity expansion within China. The further growing oversupply plus price fluctuations of raw materials may continuously have an adverse impact on the results of our operations. Currently, we have no hedging transactions in place with respect to PET resin or any other petroleum product.

Rising Competition caused by soaring capacity of BOPET films may materially affect our operations and financial conditions.

We operate in a highly competitive and rapidly evolving field, and new developments are expected to continue at a rapid pace. Competitors may succeed by expanding their capacity or succeed in developing products that are more efficient, easier to use or less expensive than those which have been or are being developed by us or that would render our technology and products obsolete and non-competitive. Any of these actions by our competitors could adversely affect our sales.

In addition, several companies are developing similar and substitute products to address the same packaging field that we are targeting. These competitors may have greater financial and technical resources, productivity, marketing capabilities and facilities, cost-efficiency and human resources, or they may have a better quality of products, service, and shorter lead time. The competition from these competitors may adversely affect our business.

An increase in competition could result in slow increase in demand, selling price reductions or loss of our market share, which could have an adverse material impact on our operations and financial condition, or result in substantial losses to the Company.

The existing manufacturers and new entrants have been expanding their production capacity of the BOPET films since the second half of 2010, which have resulted in substantial increase in production of BOPET films from 2011 to 2015. As a result, the market supply in 2016 will continuously increase more than demand. This will have an adverse impact on our sales and operation. In the event that we are unable to compete successfully or retain effective control over the pricing of our products, our profit margins might decrease.

In addition, China has gradually lowered import tariffs after its entry into the World Trade Organization in December 2001. Aiming at the huge market for high value-added films in China, manufacturers from developed countries, including Japan and South Korea started investing in China and some of these facilities had been put into production. This may lead to increased competition from foreign companies in our industry, some of which are significantly larger and financially stronger than us. If we fail to compete effectively with these companies in the future, our current business and future growth potential would be adversely affected.

We may be subject to inventory risks that would negatively impact our operating results.

The possible price decline of our inventory may adversely affect the Company’s operation. The fluctuation of the market prices of our raw material inventory and end product inventory will also adversely affect the value of our inventory.

A significant portion of our revenue is derived from the flexible packaging industry in the PRC; our revenue might be adversely impacted if the flexible packaging industry is adversely affected.

A significant portion of our revenue is currently derived from the production and sale of BOPET films. Our BOPET films are mainly used in the flexible packaging industry for consumer products such as tobacco packaging, alcoholic beverages, food, cosmetics and so on. The demand for our BOPET films is therefore affected by the demand for flexible packaging.

Since the second half of 2011, the sales and prices of our products has been declining significantly as a result of increased supply over demand in China and declined demand from overseas markets. If such situation continues in the future, such as the continued slowdown of the market demand or the increase of the demand continues to be less than that of the supply, it could continue to have an adverse impact on our financial condition and operation of our business.

We rely on key managerial and technical personnel and failure to attract or retain such personnel may compromise our ability to perform our strategies and then to develop new products and to effectively carry on our research and development and other efforts.

Our success to date has been largely attributable to the contributions of key management and experienced personnel, with whom we have entered into service agreements. The loss of their services might impede the achievements of our strategies and development objectives and might damage the close business relationship we currently enjoy with some of our major customers. Our continued success is dependent, to a large extent, on our ability to attract or retain the services of these key personnel. Our future success will also depend on our continued ability to attract and retain highly motivated and qualified personnel. The rapid growth of the economy in China has caused intense competition to attract and retain qualified personnel. Considering the deficiency in the legal environment in China, we cannot assure you that we will be able to retain our key personnel or that we will be able to attract, train or retain qualified personnel in the future.

If our R & D team cannot effectively develop new products, or promote the market process, or we are unable to afford to continue to maintain this team or are not able to hire eligible and talented personnel, our ability to conduct research and development, and our operation results and market competitiveness may be adversely affected.

Marketability of any of our new products is uncertain and low acceptance levels of any of our new products will adversely affect our revenue and profitability.

The development of our products is based on complex technology, and requires significant time and expertise in order to meet industry standards and customers’ specifications. Although we have developed some products that meet customers’ requirements in the past, there is no assurance that any of our research and development efforts will necessarily lead to any new or enhanced products or generate expected market share to justify commercialization. We must continually improve our current products and develop competitive new products to address the requirements of our customers. If our new products are unable to gain market acceptance, we would not be able to generate future revenue from our investment in research and development. In such event, we would be unable to increase our market share and achieve and sustain profitability. Our failure to further refine our technology and develop and introduce new products attractive to the market could cause our products to become uncompetitive or obsolete, which could reduce our market share and cause our sales to decline.

It is difficult to anticipate whether and when our new production line can develop and manufacture high value-added films; this may have an adverse impact on us and we may not be able to reduce our losses.

The total investment in our new production line was approximately US$51 million. We have commenced the R & D of the high value-added products (such as films for TFT-LCD screens) to be manufactured by this line, however, we are uncertain as to whether the products can be developed as scheduled or recognized by customers.

The new production line has been approved to produce common thick films ranging from thickness of 38μm to 250μm, however, it is difficult to anticipate when the new production line can develop high-value-added films.

In addition, the sales prices of our commodity thick films are far less than our costs due to more supply than demand in such a tough market. As a result, the new production line may not be profitable in the short term and may be faced with more losses.

The circumstances under which we acquired ownership of our main productive assets may jeopardize our ability to continue as an operating business.

On September 24, 2004, the People’s Court of Weifang declared Shandong Neo-Luck bankrupt due to its financial difficulties. Shandong Neo-Luck pledged its main assets for the operation of the DMT production line to Weifang Commercial Bank before its bankruptcy.

The pledged DMT production line was auctioned on October 22, 2004 by the Shandong Neo-Luck Clearance Committee. DMT subsequently sought monetary damages from Shandong Neo-Luck for approximately US $1.25 million plus interest relating to a claim of partial non-payment for the DMT production line by way of application of the ICC arbitration and the hearing was held in Geneva in November 2007. Fuwei Shandong joined these discussions later as an interested party and in order to support a resolution of the pending dispute and to achieve resolution of certain outstanding service and spare part issues. All parties entered into a Settlement Agreement in March 2008 and the arbitration was withdrawn by the ICC. Under the Service Agreement entered into in connection with the Settlement Agreement, Shandong Fuwei would pay an amount of US$180,000 in two installments with respect to service and spare parts. The Company made its first payment in April 2008. As of December 31, 2015, Shandong Fuwei had paid US$135,000 and still has US$45,000 left unpaid.

Under the Settlement Agreement, the Neoluck Group was obligated to pay an amount equal to US$900,000 in RMB by delivery of a bank draft to DMT. In April 2008, the Neoluck Group had not performed its obligation under the Settlement Agreement, and, the Neoluck Group and DMT entered into a Supplemental Agreement pursuant to which the Neoluck Group would pay the amount owed to DMT in two installments. The Neoluck Group paid the first installment equal to US$ 450,000 in April 2008. As agreed between Neoluck Group and DMT, the remaining US$450,000 was to be paid in installments by the end of December 2008. As of December 31, 2015, Neoluck Group had paid US$ 320,000 and still had US$130,000 outstanding to DMT.

Substantially all of our operating assets were acquired through two auction proceedings under relevant PRC law. We acquired the Brückner production line in 2003 as a result of a foreclosure proceeding enforcing an effective court judgment and the DMT production in 2004 as a result of a commercial auction from a consigner who obtained such assets through a bankruptcy proceeding. In the opinion of our PRC counsel, Concord & Partners, these proceedings are both valid under Chinese auction and bankruptcy law based on certain factual assumptions. Our PRC counsel’s opinion solely relates to the legal procedure of the auctions and is based upon certain factual assumptions, our written representations and written reports of the auction company and other related parties. There can be no assurance that relevant authorities or creditors of the predecessor owner of these assets will not challenge the effectiveness of these asset transfers based upon the facts and circumstances of these transfers, despite the existence of independent appraisals, and other facts and circumstances of the auctions that cannot be verified by our PRC counsel. Taking into consideration the facts known by our PRC counsel related to the auction of the Brückner production line and the significant difference in the price paid for the DMT production line at the two bankruptcy auctions involved in our purchase of that asset and, assuming the representations and reports received by our PRC counsel are true and correct in all material respects, our PRC counsel is of the opinion that the auctions of the Brückner and DMT production lines were valid under PRC law and the possibility of the creditors of Shandong Neo-Luck successfully exercising recourse or claiming repayment with respect to our assets purchased in the bankruptcy proceeding should be remote. However, should any such challenge be brought in China (or elsewhere) and prevail, we may incur substantial liabilities and be required to pay substantial damages as a result of acquiring these assets and this could materially affect our ability to continue our operation.

We have, in the past, experienced and may, from time to time, experience negative working capital. We also face risks associated with debt financing (including exposure to variation in interest rates).

As of December 31, 2015, we had a long-term loan of RMB6.65 million (US$1.026 million). We have pledged part of our property, plant and lease prepayments as security for indebtedness of a credit line amounting to RMB45.0 million (US$6.95 million) granted by SPD bank. In the event that we default on all expired indebtedness, our lenders could foreclose on our assets. In the event that our assets are foreclosed upon, we will not be able to continue to operate our business.

Our obligations under our existing loans have been mainly met through the cash flow from our operations and our financing activities. We are subject to risks normally associated with debt financing, including the risk of significant increases in interest rates and the risk that our cash flow will be insufficient to meet required payment of principal and interest. We may also underestimate our capital requirements and other expenditures or overestimate our future cash flows. In such event, we may consider additional bank loans, issuing bonds, or other forms of financing to satisfy our capital requirements. If any of the aforesaid events occur and we are unable for any reason to raise additional capital, debt or other financing to meet our working capital requirements, our business, operating results, liquidity and financial position will be adversely affected. In addition, if we do not obtain financing or have negative working capital, there is a possibility that we may not be able to perform our contracts with our suppliers as a result of our inability to pay them back. The foregoing factors may have an adverse effect on our operation.

We may lose our competitive advantage and our operations may suffer if we fail to prevent the loss or misappropriation of, or disputes over, our intellectual property.

As of December 31, 2015, we have received 19 patents from the PRC authorities. All these patents are related to our products and production processes. We may not be able to successfully obtain the approvals of the PRC authorities for the pending patent applications. In addition to the patents, proprietary techniques including processes, ingredients and technologies are important to our business as they enable us to maintain our competitive advantage over our competitors. Furthermore, third parties may assert claims to our proprietary processes, ingredients and technologies.

Our ability to compete in our markets and to achieve future revenue growth will depend, in significant measure, on our ability to protect our proprietary technology and operate without infringing upon the intellectual property rights of others. The legal regime in China for the protection of intellectual property rights is still at its early stage of development. Intellectual property protection became a national effort in China in 1979 when China adopted its first statute on the protection of trademarks. Since then, China has adopted its Patent Law, Trademark Law and Copyright Law and promulgated related regulations, such as the Regulation on Computer Software Protection, Regulation on the Protection of Layout Designs of Integrated Circuits and Regulation on Internet Domain Names. China has also acceded to various international treaties and conventions in this area, such as the Paris Convention for the Protection of Industrial Property, Patent Cooperation Treaty, Madrid Agreement and its Protocol Concerning the International Registration of Marks. In addition, when China became a party to the World Trade Organization in 2001, China amended many of its laws and regulations to comply with the Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights. Despite many laws and regulations promulgated and other efforts made by China over the years with a view to tightening up its regulation and protection of intellectual property rights, the enforcement of such laws and regulations in China has not achieved the level in developed countries. Both the administrative agencies and the court system in China are not well-equipped to deal with violations or handle the nuances and complexities between compliant technological innovation and non-compliant infringement.

We rely on trade secrets and registered patents and trademarks to protect our intellectual property. We have also entered into confidentiality agreements with our management and employees relating to our confidential proprietary information. However, the protection of our intellectual properties may be compromised as a result of:

●

departure of any of our management member(s) or employee(s) in possession of our confidential proprietary information;

●

breach by such resigned management member(s) or employee(s) of his or her confidentiality and non-disclosure undertaking to us;

●

expiration of the protection period of our registered patents or trademarks;

●

infringement by others of our proprietary technology and intellectual property rights; or

●

refusal by relevant regulatory authorities to approve our patent or trademark applications.

Any of these events or occurrences may reduce or eliminate any competitive advantage we have developed, causing us to lose sales or otherwise harm our business. There is no assurance that the measures that we have put into place to protect our intellectual property rights will be sufficient. As the number of patents, trademarks, copyrights and other intellectual property rights in our industry increases, and as the coverage of these rights and the functionality of the products in the market further overlaps, we believe that business entities in our industry may face more frequent infringement claims. Litigation to enforce our intellectual property rights could result in substantial costs and may not be successful. If we are not able to successfully defend our intellectual property rights, we might lose the rights to technology that we need to conduct and develop our business. This may seriously harm our business, operating results and financial condition, and enable our competitors to use our intellectual property to compete against us.

Furthermore, if third parties claim that our products infringe their patents or other intellectual property rights, we might be required to devote substantial resources to defend against such claims. If we fail to defend against such infringement claims, we may be required to pay damages, modify our products or suspend the production and sale of such products. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to modify our products on commercially reasonable terms.

We may incur capital expenditures in the future in connection with our growth plans and therefore may require additional financing.

To expand our business, we will need to increase our products mix and capacity, which will require substantial capital expenditures especially enough working capital for the continued operation of our new production line. Such expenditures are likely to be incurred in advance of any increase in sales. We cannot assure you that our revenue will increase after such capital expenditures are incurred. Any failure to increase our revenue after incurring capital expenditures to expand production capacity will reduce our profitability.

In addition, we may need to obtain additional debt or equity financing to fund our capital expenditures. Additional equity financing may result in dilution to existing shareholders’ return. Additional debt financing may be required which, if obtained, may:

●

limit our ability to pay dividends or require us to seek consents for the payment of dividends;

●

increase our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions;

●

limit our ability to pursue our growth plan;

●

require us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to payment for our debt, thereby reducing availability of our cash flow to fund capital expenditures, working capital and other general corporate purposes;

●

limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and our industry; and/or

●

not assure that we will be able to obtain the additional financing on terms that are acceptable to us, if at all.

A disruption in the supply of utilities, or fire or other calamity at our manufacturing plant would disrupt production of our products and adversely affect our sales.

Our BOPET films are manufactured solely at our production facilities located in Weifang City in the PRC. Any disruption in the supply of utilities, in particular, electricity, water or gas supply or any outbreak of fire, flood or other calamity resulting in significant damage at our facilities would severely affect our production of BOPET film and, as a result, we could incur substantial loss of equipment and properties.

While we maintain insurance policies covering losses in respect of damage to our properties, machinery and inventories of raw materials and products, we cannot assure you that our insurance would be sufficient to cover all of our potential losses.

We have limited experience in operating outside mainland China, and failure to achieve our overseas expansion strategy may have an adverse effect on our business growth in the future.

Our future growth depends, to a considerable extent, on our ability to develop both the domestic and overseas markets. We are currently exploring new business opportunities outside mainland China for our BOPET film products. Our primary overseas customers are from Europe, Asia and North America. However, we have limited experience in operating outside mainland China, and limited experience with foreign regulatory environments and market practices. As a result, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to penetrate any overseas market. Failure in the development of overseas market may have an adverse effect on our business growth in the future.

We have encountered anti-dumping investigations in South Korea and the United States, and our overseas expansion strategy in our future business growth may be adversely affected.

Since 2007, the manufacturers in China, India and other countries have encountered anti-dumping investigations conducted by South Korea and the United States.

The Korean Trading Committee (KTC) announced the final results for anti-dumping investigations for enterprises in China and India on August 27, 2008. We finally received the anti-dumping duties (ADD) rate of 5.67% which is much lower than the average rate of 23.60% for other enterprises in China. On June 22, 2011, Ministry of Strategy and Finance, Republic of Korea, initiated a sunset review concerning the continued imposition of an anti-dumping duty on imports of the BOPET Films originating from China and India. The rate for Shandong Fuwei, the subsidiary of Fuwei Films was set at 11.72%, higher than one of its counterparts at 5.87%. Punitive duties of 25.32% will be imposed on the PET films manufactured by six Chinese firms. The rate for the remaining Chinese manufacturers was set at 23.61%. The anti-dumping duties imposed on the Company’s exported biaxially oriented polyethylene-terephthalate (BOPET) films to South Korea will be extended for three more years beginning on May 25, 2012.

On January 15, 2015, the Ministry of Strategy and Finance, Republic of Korea, initiated a sunset review concerning the continued imposition of an anti-dumping duty on imports of Polyethylene Terephthalate originating from China and India. Eight Chinese exporters, including Fuwei Films, are required to participate in this review. On January 13, 2016, the Ministry of Strategy and Finance announced that the rate for Shandong Fuwei, the subsidiary of Fuwei Films, was set at 12.92% and it will be extended for three more years beginning on January 13, 2016.

The US Department of Commerce conducted the anti-dumping investigation in October 2007 covering exporters in China, Brazil, Thailand and the United Arab Emirates. 41 exporters in China were under investigation. In October 2008, the anti-dumping judgments were announced. Although we received the lowest ADD rate of 3.49% among five exporters that received a duty, our export to the United States, to a certain extent, was still adversely affected by paying the ADD.

On January 23, 2010, the US Department of Commerce (“USDOC”) began a first round annual review of Chinese BOPET exporters. Fuwei received the lowest anti-dumping duty (ADD) rate of 30.91% in this administrative review conducted by the USDOC, while the ADD rate of other four Chinese companies reviewed by the USDOC is more than 36.93%. In accordance with relevant laws and regulations in the US, the ADD rate of final results will retroactively apply to those US companies which imported Chinese-exported BOPET films, including Fuwei Films USA, LLC, during the period of first review, so these US importers are obligated to pay a supplementary antidumping duty at this ADD rate. In March 2011, we submitted comments to the USDOC regarding perceived ministerial errors made in calculating the ADD applicable to us. As a result of a Court challenge brought by Fuwei, in January 2013, the USDOC found that Fuwei did not dump goods in the United States market for the period from November 6, 2008 to October 31, 2009. The USDOC, after recalculating the rate, found that the level of dumping was “de minimis.” A rate which is de minimis is treated by the USDOC as a finding of zero. The final results of the second round annual review were announced in March 2012, according to which, an ADD rate of 8.48% was imposed on Fuwei Films which is slightly higher than the lowest antidumping duty rate of 8.42% of all the Chinese exporters being reviewed.

On December 30, 2011, USDOC commenced its third routine annual review of BOPET films originated from China. In order to gain an opportunity to continue exporting to the United States, Fuwei Films, although not a mandatory respondent, will actively respond to the review to the extent permitted by law and will continue to seek the low rate which should properly apply to its exports to the United States. In June 2013, the final results of the third round annual review were issued and an ADD rate of 12.80% was imposed on Fuwei Films. The preliminary results of the fourth round annual review were announced in December 2013, according to which, an ADD rate of 31.77% was imposed on Fuwei Films. In June 2014, the final results of the fourth round annual review were announced and Fuwei Films was imposed on an ADD rate of 31.24%. There was no export to the United States for the year of 2014. The preliminary results of the fifth round annual review were announced in December 2014, which determined that Fuwei Films did not have any reviewable transactions during the fifth round annual review and no rate was assigned to it. On December 23, 2014, the USDOC initiated the sixth round annual review. In February 2015, Fuwei Films filed a No Shipment Certification with USDOC as the Company had no export to U.S. during the sixth round annual review.

In addition, if other countries or regions, such as the European Union, take trade protection measures against China's BOPET film or downstream industries, our business may be adversely affected.

Changes in Applicable PRC Taxes may be adversely affect the Company.

On October 18, 2010, the State Council issued a notice that the city maintenance and construction tax as well as educational surcharges shall be extended from Chinese companies to foreign-funded enterprises and citizens. Beginning December 1, 2010, Interim Regulations on City Maintenance and Construction Tax of the People’s Republic of China and Decision of the State Council on Amending the Interim Provisions on the Collection of Educational Surcharges shall be applicable to foreign-funded enterprises, foreign enterprises and foreign citizens, which mean they will no longer be exempt from such taxes. In accordance with the regulations, since December 1, 2010, our subsidiary - Shandong Fuwei - became a taxpayer of city maintenance and construction tax as well as educational surcharges which shall be based on value-added tax, the consumption tax and business tax which currently stands at 12%. In July 2011, according to the new rules promulgated by the local government in China, Shandong Fuwei shall contribute to a fund for local water conservation projects since July 1, 2011 which is based on the actual value-added tax, consumption tax and business tax with a rate of 1%. In August 2014, the local government promulgated a new regulation that adjusted the standard of urban land use tax, according to which the tax amount for Shandong Fuwei increased from RMB8 per square meter to RMB14 per square meter. The new policy incurs additional tax expense. If the Chinese government changes its tax policies or adds new types of taxes in the future, our business may be adversely affected.

China’s actions to save energy and reduce emissions may adversely affect our business, by subjecting us to significant new costs and restrictions on our operations.

Recently the Chinese government has tightened its control over energy saving and emission reduction. The Chinese government intends to reduce energy consumption for gross domestic products and water consumption for industrial added value. Certain of our manufacturing plants that use significant amounts of energy, including electricity and gas, are likely to be affected by this plan. Therefore, our operation might be influenced by the energy saving and emission reduction measures of the Chinese government. Regulations for restricting greenhouse gas emission may increase the prices of the electricity we purchase, increase costs for our use of natural gas, potentially restrict access to or the use of natural gas, require us to purchase allowances to offset our emissions or result in an overall increase in our costs of raw materials, any of which could increase costs and negatively affect our business operations or financial results.

The current labor law changes in the PRC may have an adverse impact on our business and profitability.

The Company is of the view that the amended Labor Law of the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”), which took effect on January 1, 2008 and contains certain heightened requirements with respect to employment law, does not constitute a material risk to the Company. The amended Labor Law contains new provisions which protect the interests of the employees, including provisions which stipulate that an employer shall enter into labor contracts with its employees and pay social welfare insurance which may increase our human resources costs. In addition, the amended Labor Law also states that upon expiry of the labor contract, under some circumstances, an employer shall compensate an employee of the employer who does not renew the labor contract, which may increase our operating expenses. However, to the best of the Company’s knowledge, Shandong Fuwei constantly abides by the Labor Law of PRC, as amended, and therefore we does not believe the labor law provisions and any changes will have any material impact on its business or profitability. However, the Labor Law changes in the PRC in the future may have an adverse impact on our business and profitability.

Our primary source of funds for dividends and other distributions from our operating subsidiary in China is subject to various legal and contractual restrictions and uncertainties, and our ability to pay dividends or make other distributions to our shareholders are negatively affected by those restrictions and uncertainties.

We are a holding company established in the Cayman Islands and conduct our core business operations through our principal operating subsidiary, Shandong Fuwei, in China. As a result, our profits available for distribution to our shareholders are dependent on the profits available for distribution from Shandong Fuwei. If Shandong Fuwei incurs debt on its own behalf, the debt instruments may restrict its ability to pay dividends or make other distributions, which in turn would limit our ability to pay dividends of our ordinary shares. Under the current PRC laws, because we are incorporated in the Cayman Islands, our PRC subsidiary, Shandong Fuwei, is regarded as a wholly foreign-owned enterprise in China. For dividends paid by foreign invested enterprises, the PRC laws permit payment of dividends only out of net income as determined in accordance with PRC accounting standards and regulations. Determination of net income under PRC accounting standards and regulations may differ from determination under U.S. GAAP in significant respects, such as the use of different principles for recognition of revenues and expenses. In addition, distribution of additional equity interests by our PRC subsidiary, Shandong Fuwei, to us (which is credited as fully paid through capitalizing its undistributed profits) requires additional approval of the PRC government. Under the PRC laws, Shandong Fuwei, a wholly foreign-owned enterprise, is required to set aside a portion of its net income each year to fund designated statutory reserve funds. These reserves are not distributable as cash dividends. As a result, our primary internal source of funds of dividend payments from Shandong Fuwei is subject to these and other legal and contractual restrictions and uncertainties, which in turn may limit or impair our ability to pay dividends to our shareholders. Moreover, any allotment of funds from us to Shandong Fuwei, either as a shareholder loan or as an increase in registered capital, is subject to registration with or approval by PRC governmental authorities. These limitations on the flow of funds between us and Shandong Fuwei could restrict our ability to act in response to changing market conditions.

Investor confidence and the market price of our shares may be adversely impacted if we are unable to issue an unqualified opinion on the adequacy of our internal controls over our financial reporting beginning as of December 31, 2015, as required by Section 404 of the U.S. Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

As a public company, we are required by section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act 2002 to include a report by management on our internal controls over financial reporting that contains our management’s assessment of the effectiveness of our internal controls in our annual report on Form 20-F. Based on our evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer previously concluded as of December 31, 2010, our internal controls over financial reporting were effective as of such date. However, in connection with the review of our Annual Report on Form 20-F by the Securities and Exchange Commission and subsequent reconsideration of the conclusion regarding effectiveness originally expressed therein, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have now revised their conclusions and believe that as of the Evaluation Date, our internal controls over financial reporting were ineffective as of December 31, 2010 and that such internal controls exhibited a “material weakness,” or a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. The material weaknesses identified resulted from inadequate technical accounting staff with knowledge of and experience with US generally accepted accounting principles, pursuant to which we prepare our consolidated financial statements, to support stand-alone external financial reporting under public company or SEC requirements. The report of management contained in this Annual Report on Form 20-F also reflects the determination of the reviewing officers that as of December 31, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2015, we continued to have a material weakness in our internal controls over financial reporting.

We are in the process of developing and implementing a remedial plan to address the deficiencies in the areas of personnel with knowledge of and experience with US generally accepted accounting principles, including recruiting a full-time reporting employee with U.S. GAAP experience and conducting training in U.S. GAAP principles for all the financial reporting staff of the Company. However, additional measures may be necessary, and the measures we expect to take to improve our internal controls may not be sufficient to address the issues identified, to ensure that our internal controls are effective or to ensure that such material weakness or other material weaknesses would not result in a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements. In addition, other material weaknesses or significant deficiencies may be identified in the future. If we are unable to correct deficiencies in internal controls in a timely manner, our ability to record, process, summarize and report financial information accurately and within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC will be adversely affected. This failure could negatively affect the market price and trading liquidity of our common stock, cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information, subject us to civil and criminal investigations and penalties, and generally materially and adversely impact our business and financial condition.

Risks Relating to Business Operations in China

Changes in China’s political and economic policies and conditions could cause a substantial decline in the demand for our products and services.

Currently, we derive substantially most of our revenues from mainland China. We anticipate that mainland China will continue to be our primary production and sales base in the near future. In addition, currently, substantially all of our assets are located in China and most of our services are performed in China. In 2015, 2014 and 2013, sales to our customers in the PRC accounted for approximately 78.0%, 84.9% and 86.3%, respectively, of our total revenue. Accordingly, any significant slowdown in the PRC economy or decline in demand for our products from our customers in the PRC will have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of our operations. Furthermore, any unfavorable changes in the social and political conditions of the PRC may also adversely affect our business and operations.

Since the adoption of the “open door policy” in 1978 and the “socialist market economy” in 1992, the PRC government has been reforming and is expected to continue to reform its economic and political systems. Any changes in the political and economic policy of the PRC government may lead to changes in the laws and regulations or the interpretation of the same, as well as changes in the foreign exchange regulations, taxation and import and export restrictions, which may in turn adversely affect our financial performance. While the current policy of the PRC government seems to be one of imposing economic reform policies to encourage foreign investments and greater economic decentralization, there is no assurance that such a policy will continue to prevail in the future. We cannot make any assurances that our operations would not be adversely affected should there be any policy changes.

The financial policies, such as bank reserve ratio and deposit and loan interest rates, are subject to adjustment in accordance with the economic development. These policy changes may adversely affect our business.

A Chinese entity has substantial influence over our company and its interest may not be aligned with the interests of other holders of our ordinary shares.

Hongkong Ruishang International Trade Co., Ltd. (“Hongkong Ruishang”), beneficially owns approximately 52.90% of our outstanding share capital. Hongkong Ruishang has substantial influence over our business, including decisions regarding mergers, consolidations and the sale of all or substantially all of our assets, election of directors and other significant corporate actions. This concentration of ownership may discourage, delay or prevent a change in control of our company, which could deprive our shareholders of an opportunity to receive a premium for their shares as part of a sale of our company and might reduce the price of our ordinary shares. Alternatively, our controlling shareholder may cause a merger, consolidation or change of control transaction even if it is opposed by other shareholders.

In addition, Mr. Xiusheng Wang, who is the chairman of the board of directors of Hongkong Ruishang is also the Chairman of the board of directors of Shandong SNTON Group Co., Ltd. (the “SNTON Group”) which has a wholly owned subsidiary, Shandong SNTON Optical Materials Technology Co., Ltd. (“SNTON Optical”), a company in the BOPET industry. Furthermore, Mr. Benjie Dong, who was appointed as our Chief Financial Officer effective April 1, 2016 to fill the vacancy caused by resignation of Mr. Xiuyong Zhang, is also the director and vice president of SNTON Group. Majority of our products, customers and market orientation may be the same as SNTON Optical and as a result, the marketing strategy may conflict with the interests of other holders of our ordinary shares.

The discontinuation of any preferential tax treatments or other incentives currently available to us in the PRC could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our subsidiary, Shandong Fuwei, was converted into a wholly foreign owned enterprise in January 2005 and could enjoy certain special or preferential tax treatments regarding enterprise income tax in accordance with the “Income Tax Law of the PRC for Enterprises with Foreign Investment and Foreign Enterprises” at that time. Accordingly, at that time, it was entitled to tax concessions whereby the profit for the first two financial years beginning with the first profit-making year (after setting off tax losses carried forward from prior years) was exempt from income tax in the PRC and the profit for each of the subsequent three financial years was taxed at 50% of the prevailing tax rates set by the relevant tax authorities. Shandong Fuwei was designated as a High-and-New Tech Enterprise in December 2008 and was recertified in October 2011 and enjoys a favorable enterprise income tax rate of 15%. If there are any future changes in PRC tax laws, rules and regulations or Shandong Fuwei will not be designated as a High-and-New Tech Enterprise, Shandong Fuwei will no longer enjoy the preferential tax treatment. In December 2014, Shandong Fuwei failed to be designated as a High-and-New Tech Enterprise. As a result, Shandong Fuwei is now subject to a 25% standard enterprise income tax rate since from 2014.

On March 16, 2007, the National People’s Congress of the PRC passed the Enterprise Income Tax Law of the People’s Republic of China, which took effect on January 1, 2008. In accordance with the law, a unified enterprise income tax rate of 25% and unified tax deduction standards were applied equally to both domestic-invested enterprises and foreign-invested enterprises. Enterprises established prior to March 16, 2007 eligible for preferential tax treatment in accordance with the currently prevailing tax laws and administrative regulations would, under the regulations of the State Council, gradually become subject to the new tax rate over a five-year transition period starting from the date of effectiveness of the law. We expect details of the transitional arrangement for the five-year period from January 1, 2008 to December 31, 2012 applicable to enterprises established prior to March 16, 2007, such as Shandong Fuwei, to be set out in more detailed implementing rules to be adopted in the future. In addition, certain qualifying “High Technology Enterprises” may still benefit from a preferential tax rate of 15% under the new tax law if they meet the definition of “Government Advocated High Technology Enterprise” to be set forth in the more detailed implementing rules when they become adopted. Shandong Fuwei was designated as a High-and-New Tech Enterprise in December 2008 and will retain its status as a high-tech enterprise for three years commencing from 2011 enjoying a favorable corporate tax rate during the term from January 1, 2011 to December 31, 2013 pursuant to the income law Enterprise Income Tax Law.

In accordance with a notice issued by the PRC government in October, 2010, since December 1, 2010, Shandong Fuwei, our subsidiary, will become a taxpayer of city maintenance and construction tax as well as educational surcharges which shall be based on value-added tax, the consumption tax and business tax which currently stand at 12%. In July 2011, according to the new rules promulgated by the local government in China, Shandong Fuwei shall contribute to a fund for local water conservation projects since July 1, 2011 which is based on the actual value-added tax, consumption tax and business tax with a rate of 1%. The policy changes may have an adverse impact on our net profit.

We are subject to environmental laws and regulations in the PRC.

We are subject to environmental laws and regulations in the PRC. Any failure by us to comply fully with such laws and regulations will result in us being subject to penalties and fines or being required to pay damages. Any change in the regulations may require us to acquire equipment or incur additional capital expenditure or costs in order to comply with such regulations. Our profits will be adversely affected if we are unable to pass on such additional costs to our customers.

In recent years, there have been many newly-built residential buildings in close proximity to our factory. In March 2014 and November 2015, due to the noise caused by our production, Shandong Fuwei was fined RMB10,000 and RMB20,000, respectively, and was required to rectify and reform within a definite time. The complaints from nearby residents about the noise caused by our production may require us to take measures to lower noise, which will lead to additional cost to us. In the event that we are forced to suspend our production to take improvement measures, our operations and earnings may be adversely affected.

Changes in foreign exchange regulations in China may affect our ability to pay dividends in foreign currencies.

We currently receive most of our operating revenues in Renminbi. Currently, Renminbi is not a freely convertible currency and the restrictions on currency exchanges in China may limit our ability to use revenues generated in Renminbi to fund our business activities outside China or to make dividends or other payments in U.S. dollars. The PRC government strictly regulates conversion of Renminbi into foreign currencies. Over the years, the PRC government has significantly reduced its control over routine foreign exchange transactions under current accounts, including trade- and service-related foreign exchange transactions, foreign debt service and payment of dividends. In accordance with the existing foreign exchange regulations in China, our PRC subsidiary, Shandong Fuwei, is able to pay dividends in foreign currencies, without prior approval from the PRC State Administration of Foreign Exchange, or SAFE, by complying with certain procedural requirements. The PRC government may, however, at its discretion, restrict access in the future to foreign currencies for current account transactions and prohibit us from converting our Renminbi-denominated earnings into foreign currencies. If this occurs, our PRC subsidiary may not be able to pay us dividends in foreign currency without prior approval from SAFE. In addition, conversion of Renminbi for most capital account items, including direct investments, is still subject to government approval in China and companies are required to open and maintain separate foreign exchange accounts for capital account items. This restriction may limit our ability to invest earnings of Shandong Fuwei.

Fluctuation in the value of Renminbi could adversely affect our overseas sales and import of raw materials and the value of, and dividends payable on, our shares in foreign currency terms.

The value of Renminbi is subject to various factors and depends to a large extent on China’s domestic and international economic, financial and political developments, as well as the currency’s supply and demand in the local market. From 1994, the conversion of Renminbi into foreign currencies, including the U.S. dollar, was based on exchange rates set and published daily by the People’s Bank of China, the PRC central bank, based on the previous day’s interbank foreign exchange market rates in China and exchange rates on the world financial markets. The official exchange rate for the conversion of Renminbi into U.S. dollars remained stable until Renminbi was revalued in July 2005 and allowed to fluctuate by reference to a basket of foreign currencies, including the U.S. dollar. Under the new policy, Renminbi is permitted to fluctuate within a band against a basket of foreign currencies. This change in policy resulted initially in an approximately 2.0% appreciation in the value of Renminbi against the U.S. dollar. The Chinese government may adopt a substantially more liberalized currency policy, which could result in a further and more significant fluctuation in the value of Renminbi against the U.S. dollar. Since our income and profits are denominated in Renminbi, fluctuation in the value of Renminbi could adversely affect our overseas sales and import of raw materials and further negatively affect our revenue and net income. Any appreciation of Renminbi would increase the value of, and any dividends payable on, our shares in foreign currency terms. Conversely, any depreciation of Renminbi would decrease the value of, and any dividends payable on, our shares in foreign currency terms.

The uncertain legal environment in China could limit the legal protections available to you.

The PRC legal system is a civil law system based on written statutes. Unlike the common law system, the civil law system is a system in which decided legal cases have little precedential value. In the late 1970s, the PRC government began to promulgate a comprehensive system of laws and regulations to provide general guidance on economic and business practices in China and to regulate foreign investment. Our PRC subsidiary, Shandong Fuwei, is a wholly foreign-owned enterprise and is subject to laws and regulations applicable to foreign investment in China in general and laws and regulations applicable to wholly foreign-owned enterprises in particular. China has made significant progress in the promulgation of laws and regulations dealing with economic matters such as corporate organization and governance, foreign investment, commerce, taxation and trade. However, the promulgation of new laws, changes of existing laws and abrogation of local regulations by national laws may have a negative impact on our business and prospects. In addition, as these laws, regulations and legal requirements are relatively recent and because of the limited volume of published cases and their non-binding nature, the interpretation and enforcement of these laws, regulations and legal requirements involve significant uncertainties. These uncertainties could limit the legal protections available to foreign investors, including you. For example, it is not clear if a PRC court would enforce in China a foreign court decision brought by you against us in shareholders’ derivative actions. Moreover, the enforceability of contracts in China, especially with the government, is relatively uncertain. If counterparties repudiated our contracts or defaulted on their obligations, we may not have adequate remedies. Such uncertainties or inability to enforce our contracts could materially and adversely affect our revenues and earnings.

Outbreak of viruses such as SARS, H1N1 or other epidemics could materially and adversely affect our overall operations and results of operations.

From March to July 2003, mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan and some other areas in Asia experienced an outbreak of a new and contagious form of atypical pneumonia known as severe acute respiratory syndrome, or SARS. A recurrent outbreak, or an outbreak of a similarly contagious disease, such as the H1N1 avian flu, could potentially disrupt our operations to the extent that any one of our employees is suspected of having the infection or that any of our facilities is identified as a possible source of spreading the virus or disease. We may be required to quarantine employees who are suspected of having an infection. We may also be required to disinfect our facilities and therefore suffer a suspension of production of indefinite duration. Any quarantine or suspension of production at any of our facilities will adversely affect our overall operations. In addition, any such outbreak will likely restrict the level of economic activities in the affected areas, which could lead to a substantial decrease in our revenues accompanied by an increase in our costs.

Regulations relating to offshore investment activities by PRC residents may limit our ability to acquire PRC companies and adversely affect our business and prospects.

The Chinese State Administration of Foreign Exchange (“SAFE”) has promulgated several regulations, including the Notice on Relevant Issues Concerning Foreign Exchange Administration for Domestic Residents’ Financing and Roundtrip Investment through Offshore Special Purpose Vehicles, or Circular 75, effective on November 1, 2005 and its implementation rules. These regulations require PRC residents and PRC corporate entities to register with local branches of SAFE in connection with their direct or indirect offshore investment activities. These regulations are applicable to our shareholders who are PRC corporate entities and may be applicable to any offshore acquisitions that we make in the future. Under these foreign exchange regulations, PRC residents who make, or have prior to the implementation of these foreign exchange regulations made, direct or indirect investments in offshore special purpose vehicles, or SPVs, will be required to register such investments with SAFE or its local branches. In addition, any PRC corporate entities who is a direct or indirect shareholder of an SPV, is required to update its filed registration with the local branch of SAFE with respect to that SPV, to reflect any material change.

Circular of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange on Printing and Distributing on the Operating Rules for the Administration of Foreign Exchange with Respect to the Financing and Round-tripping Investment of Domestic Residents via Overseas Special Purpose Companies (“Circular 19”) was promulgated by SAFE on May 20, 2011 and came into effect on July 1, 2011. Circular 19 further clarifies the administration principles of Circular 75 and the relevant issues in its application and simplifies operating procedures. To a certain extent, Circular 19 will benefit the offshore investment and round-tripping investment.

Provisions on the Merger and Acquisition of Domestic Enterprises by Foreign Investors (Revised in 2009) (“Circular 6”) was promulgated by Ministry of Commerce and came into effect on June 22, 2009. According to Circular 6, where a domestic company sets up a company with special purpose abroad, it shall apply to the Ministry of Commerce for going through the examination and approval formalities. When merging or acquiring related domestic companies in the name of the companies in foreign countries legally established or controlled by them, the domestic companies, enterprises or natural persons shall report to the Ministry of Commerce for approval.

Item 4. Information on the Company

Overview

We were formed as a Cayman Islands corporation in August 2004 under the name “Neo-Luck Plastic Holdings Co., Ltd.” and changed our name to “Fuwei Films (Holdings) Co., Ltd.” in April 2005. Our corporate headquarters, principal place of business, production and ancillary facilities occupy an area of approximately 74,251 square meters at No. 387 Dongming Road, Weifang Shandong 261061, People’s Republic of China. Our agent for service in the United States is CT Corporation System located at 111 Eighth Avenue, NY, NY 10011.

We develop, manufacture and distribute high quality plastic film using the biaxially- oriented stretch technique, otherwise known as BOPET film (biaxially-oriented polyethylene terephthalate). The film is light-weight, non-toxic, odorless, transparent, glossy, temperature and moisture-resistant, making it suitable for many forms of flexible packaging, printing, laminating, aluminum-plating and other applications. In addition, it retains high dielectric strength and volume resistance even at high temperatures, which are essential qualities for electrical and electronic uses. Our BOPET film is widely used in consumer based packaging (such as food, pharmaceutical, cosmetics, tobacco and alcohol industries), imaging (such as printing plates and microfilms), electronics and electrical industries (such as wire and cable wrap, capacitors and motor insulation), as well as in magnetic products (such as audio and video tapes). We market our products under our brand name of “Fuwei Films”. Our main products are as below:

●

Printing base film used in printing and lamination;

●

Stamping foil base film and transfer base films used for packaging of luxury items of cigarettes and alcohol to increase the aesthetic presentation of the item and improving environmental performance;

●

Metallized film or aluminum plating base film used for vacuum aluminum plating for flexible plastic lamination;

●

High-gloss film used for aesthetically enhanced packaging purposes;

●

Heat-sealable film used for construction, printing and making heat sealable bags;

●

Laser holographic base film used as anti-counterfeit film for food, medicine, cosmetics, cigarettes and alcohol packaging;

●

Dry film is generally used in circuit boards (PCB & FPC) production, and sometimes used for nameplate and crafts etching;

●

Heat shrinkable film is widely used for special-shaped packaging for beverage and cosmetics; and

●

Chemically treated film used to enhance properties including barrier resistance, printing properties and electrostatic resistance.

Since our establishment, a significant portion of our revenues has been derived from the sales of BOPET film, particularly our printing film, stamping film, transfer film and chemical pretreated film, high-gloss film, heat sealable film, dry film, and heat shrinkable film and so on.

We operate three production lines and have had one trial production line as of December 31, 2015. The first line is a Brückner 6.3 m (in width) production line with an annual design capacity of 13,000 metric tons of BOPET film. The second line is a DMT production line which is three-layer co-extruded with 6.7 m (in width), and has an annual design capacity of 16,100 metric tons of BOPET film. We also have a Mitsubishi trial production line which has an annual design capacity of 1,500 metric tons. The new production line has been put into trial operation at the end of January 2013. The commissioning of this production line was delayed due to the former major shareholders’ ownership transfer in early 2011. This production line will manufacture high-performance electric insulation film, base film for solar backsheet and TFT-LCD optical film with an annual design capacity of 23,000 metric tons and thickness between 38 and 250µm. As of September 2013, our third production line has been approved. A sample diffusion film (a type of TFT-LCD optical film) was preliminarily accepted by four customers after being delivered to these four customers for testing. We are supplying small batches of products according to one of the four customer’s purchase order. In addition, a sample base film for solar backsheets has been delivered to a customer for initial testing. We received an initial feedback from this customer and we are improving according to the feedback. It could not satisfy the requirements of continued operation for the third production line due to lack of purchase orders. The total volume of the third production line from January 2015 to March 2015 was 293 Metric Tons and it has not been started up ever since April 2015.As of December 31, 2015, our manufacturing operations had a total annual design capacity of 53,600 metric tons based upon 7,200 production hours per annum.

Our top five customers in the year ended December 31, 2015 were Eternal Electronic Material (Guangzhou) Co., Ltd., Yunnan Dexin Zhiye Co., Ltd., BMS Global Co., Ltd., Sichuan Jinshi Technology Co., Ltd., Eternal Photo Electronic Materials (Guangzhou) Co., Ltd. None of our customers accounted for more than 10% of our total revenues in any such year. We sell most of our BOPET film products to customers in the flexible packaging industry in the PRC in the coastal region of China. In addition, we expect to continue to expand our product portfolio to exploit opportunities in different market sectors, such as electronics industries. In 2015, 2014 and 2013, our sales to our overseas customers constituted approximately 22.0%, 15.1% and 13.7% of our total revenue, respectively.

On April 23, 2009, Fuwei Films USA, LLC was set up in South Carolina and co-invested by Fuwei Films (Holdings) Co., Ltd. and Newell Finance Management Co., Ltd. Fuwei Films USA, LLC has a registered capital of US$10,000 and total investment amount of US$100,000. Fuwei Films (Holdings) Co., Ltd. and Newell Finance Management Co., Ltd. own 60% and 40% of the total shares of Fuwei Films USA, LLC, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2015, the sale revenue of the Fuwei Films USA, LLC was US$0.

Business Prospects

In 2015, we continued to be adversely affected by enhanced competition and increased supply over demand in China’s BOPET market as well as the oversea market. Anti-dumping measures taken by USA and South Korea caused a decrease in orders from international markets, in addition to the decrease in the price of main raw materials. The foregoing factors have contributed to significant decrease in sales prices, which resulted in reduced total revenue compared with the revenue of 2014.

We have identified BOPET thick film, which is mainly used in the electronics, electrical, solar energy and other industries, as a key market segment for potential growth. The thick film rapidly grows with the development of the above-mentioned industry. Currently, giants including Mitsubishi Plastics, Inc., SKC, Inc. and China Lucky Film Corporation invested in and built production lines in China, which will bring fiercer competition to us.

Business Development Strategies

As a primary part of our business strategy, we will speed up the R&D of high value-added products for the new production line for thick films. We believe that we have the ability to increase our sales and expand our markets. We will continue to improve our products by developing new functions and applications of the BOPET films and enhancing our products mix. Meanwhile, we will continue to secure opportunities to develop new domestic and overseas customers. We believe that expanding the overseas business is a key part of our business strategy. So we will continue to focus on the development of the BOPET industry and look for the opportunities for merger and acquisition.

Our future plans include: Accelerating the R&D of high value-added products for the new production line for thick films

We completed the construction of a new production line capable of producing BOPET film that is between 38 to 250µm in our current premises in Weifang City, PRC. The BOPET film production using this new production line is targeted at industrial use, including TFT-LCD screen films. We expect to penetrate into the electrical, electronics, solar energy and other industries with this new BOPET film. Such industries for high-end and special usage currently rely on expensive imports. The total investment of the new production line is estimated to be US$51 million. The third production line started its trial operation at the end of January 2013 and officially started its operation in September 2013. A sample diffusion film (a type of TFT-LCD optical film) was preliminarily accepted by fourcustomers after being delivered to them for testing. We supplied small batches of products according to one of thefourcustomer’s purchase order. In addition, a sample base film for solar backsheets was delivered to a customer for initial testing and we received an initial feedback from this customer and are adjusting the formulas accordingly. The third production line has not been able to continue its production since April 2015 due to lack of purchase orders. The total volume of the third production line from January 2015 to March 2015 was 293 Metric Tons.

In addition, we have started the R&D for our thick films to be manufactured by this production line including base film for solar backsheet and so on. However, due to the intense competition in the market, we believe that upon commencing production, the third production line may not be profitable in a short term, or bring about losses.

Expansion into overseas markets

We believe that the overseas markets hold significant potential for future growth. We believe that our venture into the overseas markets which began in 2004 has been successful. Although we are not focused on any particular overseas market, we have identified Europe, Asia and North America as our primary overseas markets.

Our overseas sales were affected by the anti-dumping investigations conducted by South Korea and the United States against BOPET manufacturers originated from China, India and other countries and the fluctuation of Renminbi. However, we still believe there is a great potential in overseas BOPET market. Therefore, we will continue to carry out the marketing in the overseas market to attract new clients and sell our specialty films.

Investment in research and development

As one of our key strategies, we continue to invest substantially in R&D area. We have constructed a trial production line for research and development of new products, which also saves experimental cost. We also intend to expand our R&D team by hiring more senior research personnel from both China and foreign countries. We attach great importance to intellectual property. To date, 19 patents have been granted.

Our Products and Services

We are principally engaged in the manufacture and distribution of BOPET film. As of December 31, 2015, we produced BOPET films from the three production lines and one trial production line, with an aggregate annual design capacity of 53,600 metric tons with thicknesses varying between 6 - 250µm.

BOPET is a high quality plastic film manufactured using the biaxially-oriented stretch (transverse and machine direction) technique. Our advanced production process improves the physical properties of the plastic film such as its tensile strength, resistance to impact, resistance to tearing and malleability. The high dimensional stability of the film over a wide range of humidity and temperature fulfills the basic requirements for flexible packaging. The film is light-weight, non-toxic, odorless, transparent, glossy, moisture-resistant, and retains high barrier resistance, making it suitable for many forms of flexible packaging, printing, laminating, aluminum-plating and other processes. In addition, it retains high dielectric strength and volume resistance even at high temperatures, which are essential qualities for electrical and electronic uses. The three-layer co-extruded structure enables us to develop high-quality BOPET products.

BOPET film has been widely used in the flexible packaging (such as food, pharmaceutical, cosmetics, cigarettes, alcohol), imaging (such as printing plates and microfilms), and electronics and electrical (such as wire and cable wrap, capacitors and motor insulation). Due to its unique qualities, it has become a popular choice as a flexible packaging material in these industries in recent years.

We market our products under our brand name “Fuwei Films”. Our operations are based primarily in Shandong Province, PRC, where we manufacture our products for sale to customers engaged in flexible packaging businesses and electronics industry in the PRC, in particular the coastal region. We also export our products to end-users and distributors mainly in Europe, Asia and North America.

Our BOPET film is mainly used in the flexible packaging industry for consumer products such as those relating to processed foods, pharmaceutical products, cosmetics, tobacco and alcohol. Our products may be sub-divided into five main categories constituting the following percentages of our total revenue for each of the twelve months ended 2015, 2014 and 2013:

Category	2015		2014		2013
Stamping and transfer film		41.6%		41.7%		46.7%
Printing film		11.9%		11.6%		9.1%
Metallized film		3.6%		2.2%		5.8%
Specialty film		29.7%		28.0%		29.3%
Base film for other applications		13.2%		16.5%		9.1%

The above categorizes BOPET film products by application.

Stamping and transfer film

This is a film that displays excellent thermal stability and tensile strength and is used in metallized film and laser stamping foil and transfer.

Printing film

This is a high transparency film that is corona treated on one side to provide excellent adhesion to ink. This is primarily used in printing and lamination.

Metallized film

This is an aluminum plating base film that displays good thermal stability and tensile strength and provides good adhesion between film and aluminum layer. This is applied to flexible plastic lamination.

Specialty film

We mainly produce the following types of specialty film:

High-gloss film: Film with high levels of reflection approaching a mirror-like surface, used for aesthetically-enhanced packaging purposes;

Heat-sealable film: Film with a three layer structure. The heat-sealable film is primarily used in construction, printing and making heat sealable bags;

Dry film: Generally used in circuit boards (PCB & FPC) production, and sometimes used for nameplate and crafts etching;

Heat shrinkable film is widely used for special-shaped packaging for beverage and cosmetics; and

Chemically treated film used to enhance properties including barrier resistance, printing properties and electrostatic resistance.

Base film for other applications

Base films for other application are ordinary commodity polyester films with applications other than for the usages mentioned above.

Production

As of December 31, 2015, we operate three production lines and have had one trial production line. The first line is a Brückner 6.3 m (in width) production line with an annual design capacity of 13,000 metric tons of BOPET film. The second line is a DMT production line which is three-layer co-extruded with 6.7 m (in width), and has an annual design capacity of 16,100 metric tons of BOPET film. We also have a Mitsubishi trial production line which has an annual design capacity of 1,500 metric tons. The third production line started its trial operation at the end of January 2013. This production line will manufacture high-performance electric insulation film, base film for solar backsheet and TFT-LCD optical film with an annual design capacity of 23,000 metric tons and thickness between 38 and 250µm. It officially started its operation in September 2013. A sample diffusion film (a type of TFT-LCD optical film) was preliminarily accepted by fourcustomers after being delivered to them for testing. We supplied small batches of products according to one of thefourcustomer’s purchase order. In addition, a sample base film for solar backsheets was delivered to a customer for initial testing and we received an initial feedback from this customer and are adjusting the formulas accordingly. The third production line has not been able to continue its production since April 2015 due to lack of purchase orders. The total volume of the third production line from January 2015 to March 2015 was 293 Metric Tons.

As of December 31, 2015, our manufacturing operations had a total annual design capacity of 53,600 metric tons based upon 7,200 production hours per annum.

BOPET film is manufactured from polyethylene terephthalate (PET) resin. BOPET film is produced by melting the granulated PET resin and extruding it into a flat sheet. This sheet is stretched to 3.0 to 3.6 times its original length, and then horizontally from 3.0 to 3.6 times its width, before being heat-set and finally wound into reels. The orientation process (stretching during the application of heat) gives the film its mechanical strength, barrier and optical properties (clarity and gloss). The main steps of our manufacturing process involve:

Dosing and Mixing

PET resin is dosed and mixed with relevant additives to give it its desired characteristics. In the case of the production three-layer co-extruded BOPET film, the materials are dosed and mixed separately for each of the core and outer layers.

Extrusion/Co-extrusion

The mixed material is melted and plasticized to achieve the required homogenous state with the requisite characteristics and then it is filtered and transported to the die unit. Our DMT production line has one main extruder and two auxiliary extruders to allow us to produce multiple-layer co-extruded BOPET film.

Die Casting

The respective mixed materials are extruded from the die unit which produces a flat layered cast sheet and casted on the chill roll which is cooled by the pinning system.

Machine Direction Orientation (vertical stretching)

The cast sheet is then heated and stretched by machine direction before annealing the cast sheet, which is a process of heat-setting so as to control the shrinkage of the sheet after the vertical stretching.

Transversal Direction Orientation (horizontal stretching)

After the machine direction stretching, the cast sheet is horizontally stretched before annealing again.

Pull Roll Station

The stretched sheet is trimmed and measured for thickness. For the production of base film for printing, the surface is treated by corona treatment. Corona treatment is the process which enables the BOPET film to become receptive to printing. At the pull roll station, continuous feedback on the thickness of the BOPET film is also relayed back to the die unit which therefore ensures consistency in the thickness of the BOPET film.

Winder

The final BOPET film is then wound up into metal rolls in the mill roll by the winder.

Slitter

The wound BOPET film is then unwound from the metal rolls, divided to the requisite width and length, and wound again into paper or plastic core for delivery to customers.

Inventory Management

Our warehousing facilities are located in the Shandong Province, PRC. Our warehouses are guarded by security personnel and loss of our inventory is covered under our insurance policies. As of December 31, 2015, our total inventories amounted to approximately RMB29.6 million and our raw materials, work-in-progress, finished goods and spare parts (including consumables) made up approximately 24.0%, 5.6%, 51.1% and 19.3% of our inventories, respectively.

To ensure an accurate inventory record and to monitor our inventory aging, we conduct monthly stock counts. We usually maintain raw materials which can be used for one or two weeks of production. Typically, we start manufacturing such goods upon our receipt of orders from our customers.

Our inventory turnover periods (in days) for 2015, 2014 and 2013 were 39.3, 37.8 and 43.8, respectively. Inventory turnover is calculated as 365 days times inventory at period/year end date divided by cost of sales in respect of the financial period/year.

In 2015, there were no provisions for inventory obsolescence and inventory written off. As of December 31, 2015, we accrued RMB5.0 million for inventory falling price reserves.

Manufacturing Facilities and Utilization Rates

As of December 31, 2015, the following production lines are in operation:

Production Line	Design Capacity	Estimated Remaining Life Span
Brückner Production Line	13,000 tons per annum	Approximately 0 years
DMT Production Line Dornier Production Line	16,100 tons per annum 23,000 tons per annum	Approximately 3 years Approximately 13 years
Trial Production Line	1,500 tons per annum	Approximately 4 years

The design capacity as given by the manufacturer is determined based on the assumption of the production of a specific mix of BOPET films of varying thicknesses. Our Brückner, DMT and Dornier production lines and the trial production line have been in use since 2003, 2004, 2013 and 2009, respectively. The production lines are depreciated on the straight-line method over their respective estimated useful lives.

Our approximate annual production volumes and the average annual utilization rates for our facilities for 2015, 2014 and 2013, based on our estimated operational production capacities were as follows.

There are currently no regulatory requirements that may materially affect the utilization rates of our property, plant and equipment. However, certain of the fixed assets relating to our production lines have been mortgaged in respect of certain of our bank loans as described under “Properties” for further details.

Quality Control

The quality and reliability of our products are essential for our continued success. We adopt strict measures for quality control in the entire production process of all our products, from the purchase and selection of raw materials, to each stage of the manufacturing processes and to the final inspection of end products. Our quality control procedures were certified for ISO 9001:2000 compliance in September 2004 and the review of it is conducted every three years.

As of December 31, 2015, our product inspection and quality control department comprised of 21 employees. We have one manager, 17 quality inspectors, 2 procurement inspector and 1 after-sale personnel. Members of our quality control departments have had relevant training in the area of quality control in accordance with ISO 9001:2000 procedures. Our product inspection and quality control department ensure that our production process, raw materials and end products are of the quality to our customers’ satisfaction.

Raw Materials

We adopt and adhere to a set of quality inspection procedures and internal controls for the procurement, selection and quality checks of raw materials. Different types of checks are utilized for different categories of raw materials. Our suppliers are also required to meet our internal qualification criteria such as the quality and pricing of their suppliers, their ability to meet our requirements and timely delivery. We conduct batch inspections for raw materials delivered to us before they are accepted and stored in our warehouses. Defective materials are returned to our suppliers for necessary corrective action to ensure that no defected materials are used for production.

Production Process

We have established standard operational procedures and implementation rules for each stage of the production process to ensure that our products comply with and adhere to our stringent quality control standards and that our productivity is optimized. We only permit employees who have undergone and completed the relevant training to work on our production lines. At each stage of the production process, our inspectors check and ensure that our production process complies with our quality standards, while our quality control department monitors and ensures that our products-in-process and final products comply with our internal and international standards of quality control by carrying out random sampling of the products.

Finished Products

To ensure that our products fulfill our quality criteria established by our product inspection and quality control department, our products undergo final quality inspection upon production, labeling and packaging. Our product inspection and quality control department continues to monitor and ensure that our products are properly handled and stored in our warehouses. Prior to delivery to our customers, our products are inspected one final time to ensure that they are in good condition and not damaged.

Maintenance

Our maintenance engineers regularly maintain and repair our machinery and equipment to ensure that they are in good working order and functioning properly. We also conduct periodic maintenance of all our machinery on a rotation basis. On an average basis, we replace our filter disks every 20-30 days and this replacement process takes about six to eight hours during which we will conduct routine maintenance. And each year we will conduct one comprehensive maintenance project for each production line which will cost five to ten days varying according to different maintenance projects. We believe that due to our stringent maintenance policies, our equipment is still in good condition. Our average downtime for 2015 (primarily for maintenance) was 6.3% of our overall production time.

New Products

We view research and development as an essential part of our business. We believe that higher investment in the equipment of our R&D center and in the development of new products and upgrading of existing products will enhance our ability to compete.

Sales, Marketing and Key Customers

As of December 31, 2015, our sales department comprised of 11 employees in the domestic sales division, 4 employees in the overseas sales division and 2 for sales support. Our sales department is responsible for market penetration such as cultivating new customers and businesses, and market development such as developing existing accounts through better service support and customer relationship. Our marketing department is responsible for market research, development and promotion. Our management is actively involved in overseeing and supervising our sales and marketing activities and often visits our clients together with the sales personnel. They have established and maintained close business relationship with our key customers.

Customers and Markets

Over the past years, we have established good working relationships with our customers in the flexible packaging industry. Our products are mainly used in the packaging of consumer products such as those relating to processed foods, pharmaceutical products, cosmetics, tobacco and alcohol. In addition, we maintain good relationship with major dry films customers in Mainland China.

The majority of our domestic customers are located in the coastal region of the PRC. Our overseas customers are mostly based in Europe, Asia, North America and others. In 2015, sales from our domestic and overseas customers constituted approximately 78.0% and 22.0% of our annual revenue respectively.

The following are our top five customers and their respective percentages of contribution to our total revenue for each of the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013:

	Percentage of Total Revenue (%)

Sichuan Jinshi Technology Co., Ltd.		3.5		5.4		1.8
Eternal Photo Electronic Materials (Guangzhou) Co., Ltd.		3.0		3.1		3.5

None of our customers accounted for more than 10% of our total revenue in any of the previous three years.

None of our directors or principal shareholders or any of their affiliates has any interest, direct or indirect, in any of our customers listed above.

Sales

Because of our broad range of product offerings and customers, our sales and marketing efforts are generally specific to particular types of product, customer or geographic region. Most of our products are sold by our own direct sales force. These salespeople, including our management, maintain close relationships with our customers by paying visits to our customers from time to time to understand their needs, and to obtain their feedback and suggestions. Our sales personnel provide technical support to our customers when required. We also regularly invite our existing and potential customers to our manufacturing facilities for visits as we believe that such visits enable our customers to better understand our production processes and operations and also enhance our customers’ confidence in us.

We offer a basic salary and commission package for our sales personnel. The scale for the commission payable is dependent on a number of factors such as sales targets completion, debt collection and marketing cost allocation.

Customer Service

We place great emphasis on good, fast and effective pre-sales and after-sales customer support services. As such, all our sales personnel have undergone stringent training and have sufficient knowledge and understanding of our products. Our sales personnel are responsible for coordinating and providing after-sales services which include following through with our customers’ orders, maintaining relationships with our customers, handling complaints effectively, ensuring that our customers’ needs are met and understanding the future needs of our customers. Our quality department gives support to our customer service, and is responsible for explaining questions related to our products usage from customers. If there are complaints as to our product quality, they are responsible for receiving and settling complaints on our customers’ site.

We accept returned defective products from customers or compensate our customers for the losses incurred from our defective products. For 2015, our losses due to returned products from our customers were approximately 1.0% of our total sales.

Marketing

We have the following marketing channels:

we regularly attend trade fairs and exhibitions as we believe that they serve as a good platform for us to exhibit our new products and expand our sales network. In addition, participation in seminars, fairs and exhibitions provides us with opportunities to network with our potential and existing customers and allows us to obtain up-to-date information on new products, market trends and consumer demand;

referrals from existing customers as well as business associates to generate sales opportunities; and

promotion through our corporate website. Information on our products and services are also found on our corporate website which allows us to reach out to potential domestic and overseas customers.

Our marketing personnel also conduct PRC domestic and overseas market surveys and research. The statistics, findings and information obtained from such surveys and research are then passed on to our management and production department for their analysis on the demand for and supply of our products, which allows them to make adjustments to our production and sales targets as well as our marketing strategies.

Suppliers and Raw Materials

Suppliers

We purchase raw materials according to the relevant technical specifications and production requirements. We select our suppliers based on the following considerations and/or methods:

the consistency of the quality of raw materials supplied and any relevant certifications;

our inspection of the supplier’s quality control system;

positive feedback from the supplier’s other customers;

pricing of raw materials;

timely delivery of raw materials;

the supplier’s financial position and viability;

the service provided by the supplier;

qualifying suppliers by sample testing and batch purchasing of their raw materials; and

annual evaluation and review of our suppliers.

The following are the suppliers that supplied 10% or more of our purchases of raw materials and supplies for each of the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013:

		Percentage of total purchases (%)
	Supply	2015		2014		2013
Sinopec Yizheng Chemical Fibre Company Limited	PET resin and Additive		52.0		60.0		56.7

We purchase the majority of our PET resin from Sinopec Yizheng as the quality of its supply of PET resin consistently meets our requirements. We currently have an annual supply agreement with Sinopec Yizheng pursuant to which Sinopec Yizheng has agreed to supply us fixed quantities of PET resin monthly at the prevailing market prices. Such supply agreement is renewable annually. We have not entered into any long-term supply contracts with any other supplier. Our purchases of raw materials are on a cash basis. There are a number of suppliers of PET resin at home and abroad that can consistently meet our quality and quantity requirements on a timely basis.

None of our directors or principal shareholders or any of their affiliates has any interest, direct or indirect, in any of our major suppliers mentioned above.

Raw Materials

The main raw materials that we purchase from our suppliers are as follows:

	Percentage of each category within main raw material purchases (%)
Main Raw Material	2015		2014		2013		Country
PET resin		75.5		80.0		88.2	PRC, Korea, BVI
Additives		24.5		20.0		11.8	PRC

The market prices of PET resin and additives may fluctuate due to changes in supply and demand conditions. Any sudden shortage of supply or significant increase in demand of PET resin and additives may result in higher market prices and thereby increase our costs of sales. The prices of PET resin and additives are, to a certain extent, affected by the price movement of crude oil. The average price for PET resin in 2015 decrease by 21.1% compared to that in 2014.

As we are unable to predict the price movements of such raw materials and to minimize the impact of such price fluctuations on our cost, we generally purchase such raw materials in quantities sufficient for our production process for approximately one or two weeks. Based on orders from our customers, we may increase or reduce the inventory of our raw materials.

Competition

We face intense competition in the PRC plastic film industry. We believe that there are currently many plastic film manufacturers in the PRC and we expect further entrants into this market in the future. Among the flexible packaging industries, in particular those involving packaging of processed food and pharmaceutical products, the primary types of plastic films in the packaging products include BOPET, Biaxially oriented polyester (BOPP); and Biaxially oriented polyamide (BOPA).

The following table gives a general comparison of the key differences in the technical specifications and usage of the above types of plastic films.

This comparison is based on the book of Biaxially Oriented Plastics Film, edited by Yanping Yin and published by China Chemical Press in August 1999. The Company did not notice updated technical specifications subsequently as of December 31, 2015.

We believe that we are one of the few BOPET film manufacturers in the PRC with research and development capabilities.

We believe that the major competitive factors in our industry include:

research and development capability;

quality and reliability of products;

technical/manufacturing capability;

industrial reputation; and

production cost and sales prices.

We believe that our major competitors in BOPET manufacturing are currently:

Dupont Hongji Films Foshan Co., Ltd.;

Yihua Toray Polyester Film Co., Ltd.; and

Ningbo Shunsu Film Co., Ltd.

We believe that we have established a good reputation and management track record as a manufacturer of BOPET film and are able to offer quality products.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND

ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report beginning on page F-1. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The following discussion and analysis contain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties.

Overview

We develop, manufacture and distribute high quality plastic film using the biaxially oriented stretch technique, otherwise known as BOPET film. Since the establishment of the Company, a substantial portion of our revenues has been derived from the sales of BOPET film. We sell majority of our BOPET film products to domestic customers in China with minority of them sold to Europe, Asia, North America and other overseas markets.

Our Corporate Structure and Operating History

The diagram below illustrates our corporate structure:

Shandong Fuwei, our PRC operating subsidiary, was formed on January 28, 2003, as a Sino-foreign equity joint venture under the name Weifang Fuwei Plastic Co., Ltd. In July 2003, this company began production of BOPET film, initially renting the necessary fixed assets from Shandong Neo-Luck, a company involved in BOPET film production in which Mr. Xiaoming Wang, our current executive officer, served as executive officer at the time.

Shandong Fuwei subsequently acquired these fixed assets through two auction proceedings, the first in October of 2003 and the second in December 2004. At the first auction proceeding in October 2003, Shandong Fuwei acquired assets related to the Brückner production line that it had been renting from Shandong Neo-Luck. This line had been previously mortgaged by Shandong Neo-Luck to Bank of China, Weifang city branch as security for several loans extended to Shandong Neo-Luck’s affiliates. When these loans went into default, Bank of China brought a series of legal actions in Weifang Municipal People’s Court that resulted in the assets securing the loans being sold at a public auction. Following its successful bid at an auction on October 9, 2003, Shandong Fuwei acquired the Brückner production line and facilities (with an appraised value of approximately RMB169 million) for RMB156 million.

In November 2003, Shandong Fuwei’s shares were sold to Shenghong Group Co., Ltd. (“Shenghong Group”) and Shandong Baorui for an aggregate consideration of RMB98.2 million. Tongju Zhou, a former director of the Company, and Duo Wang each indirectly own 50% of Easebright Investments Limited (“Easebright”), one of our principal shareholders, and are both officers and directors of Shandong Baorui. Jun Yin and Duo Wang own 17.5% and 4.6%, respectively, of Shandong Baorui. In 2004, Messrs. Zhou and Wang, along with Jun Yin established several offshore holding companies in the British Virgin Islands and the Cayman Islands to acquire and hold these shares. In October 2004, Fuwei (BVI) entered into a sale and purchase agreement with Shenghong Group and Shandong Baorui pursuant to which Fuwei (BVI) acquired the respective equity interest of Shenghong Group and Shandong Baorui in Shandong Fuwei for an aggregate consideration of RMB91 million. Shandong Fuwei thereafter became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Fuwei (BVI) and was converted into a wholly-foreign owned enterprise pursuant to PRC law.

As a result of its ongoing financial difficulties, Shandong Neo-Luck was declared bankrupt by the Weifang Municipal People’s Court in the PRC on September 24, 2004. Prior to the bankruptcy, Shandong Neo-Luck’s then major operating asset, the DMT production line, had been pledged by Shandong Neo-Luck to Weifang City Commercial Bank. When Shandong Neo-Luck was declared bankrupt, the Shandong Branch of Bank of China seized the production line by order of the Qingdao Intermediate People’s Court and the Qingdao Southern District People’s Court while the Weifang Branch of Bank of Communications did so through Weifang Intermediate People’s Court. As such, the effectiveness of the pledge in favor of Weifang City Commercial Bank was under dispute. Subsequently, pursuant to the decision from Weifang Intermediate People’s Court, Weifang City Commercial Bank ranked senior in terms of the right of claims.

The pledged DMT production line was put up for public auction by the Shandong Neo-Luck Liquidation committee on October 22, 2004. In view of the above complexities, the auction was deemed to be tremendously risky at that time, and therefore, our PRC operating subsidiary did not directly participate in the first auction, which began with a bid price of approximately RMB53 million by reference to an independent valuation performed on a forced sale basis. However, due to the potential tremendous risk involved, the auction had been withdrawn twice and the starting bid price had been further reduced to approximately RMB34 million and was finally purchased by Beijing Baorui, a company indirectly controlled by Shandong Baorui. When the DMT production line was put for public auction by Beijing Baorui three months later, our PRC operating subsidiary purchased it for approximately RMB119 million, which was supported by an independent valuation performed on a going concern basis. We understood that acquiring the DMT production line from Beijing Baorui through the first auction would be an effective way to minimize the risk associated with the uncertainties arising from the bankruptcy of Shandong Neo-Luck. The price difference of approximately RMB85 million represented a risk premium paid to Beijing Baorui, which bore the ultimate risks of recourse from creditors of Shandong Neo-Luck.

Subsequent to the auction for several years, the PRC government conducted an investigation into the conduct of certain individuals in connection with such transactions. In March 2009, Messrs. Yin, Wang and Zhou committed the crime of corruption by verdict of the Jinan Intermediate People’s Court in the city of Jinan, Shandong Province. In November 2009, the Company became aware of the final verdict issued by the Supreme People's Court of Shandong Province. The Supreme People’s Court upheld the initial verdict issued by the Intermediate court in March 2009. The March 2009 initial verdict sentenced Mr. Yin to death, with a stay of execution for two years, and the other two defendants, Mr. Zhou and Mr. Wang, each received life imprisonment. All of the personal property of the three individuals will be confiscated.

At the time of the Company’s initial public offering, we had obtained an opinion of PRC counsel with respect to the validity of the auction proceedings under PRC law, although you should read the description of the opinion and the subsequent development in March 2009 described under the title “Risk Factors — The circumstances under which we acquired ownership of our main productive assets may jeopardize our ability to continue as an operating business”. Certain of the assumptions relied upon in providing that opinion have been called into question by the verdict referred to above.

On May 9, 2011, the Company received a notification from the Weifang State-owned Assets Operation Administration Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Weifang State-owned Asset Management and Supervision Committee (the “Administration Company”) regarding the transfer of the ownership of controlling shareholders.

According to the notification, the former controlling shareholders of the Company, Messrs. Jun Yin, Duo Wang and Tong Ju Zhou, had transferred their entire ownership in several intermediate holding companies to the Administration Company, Ms. Qing Liu and Mr. Zhixin Han. As a result of the transfers, and based on the information provided by the Administration Company, 52.90% of its outstanding ordinary shares are controlled indirectly by the Administration Company and 12.55% of its outstanding ordinary shares are jointly controlled indirectly by Ms. Liu and Mr. Han.

The Company received a second notification dated May 17, 2011 (the “Second Notification”) from the Administration Company regarding the transfer of ownership of Fuwei stock previously controlled by the Company’s major shareholders.

As discussed in the Second Notification, Ms. Qing Liu and Mr. Zhixin Han transferred their entire ownership in the intermediate holding company, Easebright Investments Limited, to the Administration Company. As a result of the transfer, and based on the information provided by the Administration Company, 65.45% of its outstanding ordinary shares were controlled indirectly by the Administration Company and the sole director of each of the intermediate holding companies, Mr. Zheng Min.

On August 14, 2013, the Company received the first notice from the its controlling shareholder, the Weifang State-owned Assets Operation Administration Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Weifang State-owned Asset Management and Supervision Committee (collectively, the “Administration Company”) indicating that the Administration Company had determined to place control over 6,912,503 (or 52.9%) of its outstanding ordinary shares up for sale at a public auction to be held in China. Four public auctions were held in Jinan, Shandong Province, China. The Company learned that they failed due to a lack of bidders registered for the auction. On March 25, 2014, the fifth public auction was held in Jinan, Shandong Province, China and the Company became aware that the fifth public auction has resulted in the acceptance of a successful bid. Shandong SNTON Optical Materials Technology Co., Ltd.

As a result of the entrusted arrangement, Hongkong Ruishang is the party controlling the Shares acquired in the fifth public auction. According to publicly available information in the People’s Republic of China, Shandong SNTON is a wholly owned subsidiary of Shandong SNTON Group Co., Ltd (“SNTON Group”). Mr. Xiusheng Wang, the chairman of the Board of Directors of SNTON Group, is also Hongkong Ruishang’s chairman. This disclosure is based solely on information contained in a Schedule 13D amendment filed by Hongkong Ruishang with the SEC on November 12, 2014.

On May 14, 2014, the Company announced that it received a notification from Shandong Fuhua Investment Company Limited. (“Shandong Fuhua”) with respect to an entire ownership transfer of the Company’s 12.55% outstanding ordinary shares from the Administration Company to Shandong Fuhua. The Administration Company originally held these shares indirectly through an intermediate holding company, Easebright Investments Limited (“Easebright”). As a result of this transfer, Shandong Fuhua indirectly owns 12.55% of the outstanding ordinary shares of the Company through Easebright. Mr. Jingang Yang has been appointed as the director of Easebright. This disclosure is based solely on information contained in a Schedule 13D filed by Shandong Fuhua with the SEC on December 30, 2014.

Key Factors Affecting Our Results of Operation

The following are key factors that affect our financial condition and results of operations and we believe them to be important to the understanding of our business:

Raw Material Prices

For the years ended 2015, 2014 and 2013, the total cost of raw materials made up approximately 66.4%, 67.8%, and 71.4% of production cost, respectively. The primary raw materials used in our production of BOPET film are polyethylene terephthalate (or PET) resin and additives, which made up approximately 75.5% and 24.5%, respectively, of our total cost of raw materials in 2015. PET resin trades as a commodity and its market price is influenced significantly by global energy prices, including the price of crude oil. In addition, PET resin is mainly used in textile industry and accordingly the demand from that industry will also affect the price of PET resin.

Although we try to pass on all increases in our raw material costs to our customers, we can only pass on a portion of the increase to our customers due to the increased supply than demand in the market. We obtain a significant amount of the PET resin used at our facilities from one supplier, who has agreed to supply us fixed quantities of PET resin monthly at the prevailing market price. We have not engaged in any hedging transactions to limit our exposure to fluctuations in the market prices of these raw materials or their components.

Prices of Our Products

Our BOPET film products generally fall into two categories: commodity products and specialty products. The price of commodity products, such as printing films, stamping and transfer films and metallized films, is typically driven by supply and demand conditions in the market. We have more control over pricing for our specialty products, such as dry films.

As selling prices are generally higher for those types of BOPET film products which require higher technical expertise, our revenue will be affected, to certain extent, by our product mix. Our product mix is dependent on, among other things, our production facilities, R&D abilities and new product commercialization.

Demand for Our Products

We have been able to expand our product range and markets by introducing new products required by customers. We believe that our technical expertise is important in introducing products that are in demand.

Our BOPET film products are mostly sold to customers in the flexible packaging industry for consumer products such as food, pharmaceutical products, cosmetics, tobacco, alcohol and beverage. Recently, the sales of the light-resistant dry film which is used in printed circuit board also significantly increased. In the fiscal years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, approximately 78.0%, 84.9% and 86.3%, respectively, of our total revenue was derived from the PRC. The demand for our products is therefore, to a large extent, affected by the general economic conditions in the PRC. A significant improvement in the economic environment in the PRC will likely improve consumer spending and increase the demand for our products. However, the economic downturn of the PRC market will impact our customers’ demand and will decrease the demand for our products.

Production Capacity and Utilization Rates

Our sales volume is limited by our operational annual production capacity and this depends largely on supply and demand in the market. The third production line has not been able to continue its production since April 2015 due to lack of purchase orders which is the result of greater supply than demand in the market in 2015.

As we grow our business in the future, our ability to fulfill more and larger orders will be dependent on our ability to increase our production capacity. As our business is capital-intensive, our ability to expand our production capacity will depend on, inter alia, the availability of capital to meet our needs of expansion or upgrading of production lines.

Competition

We believe that we are currently one of the few producers of BOPET films in the PRC with research and development capability. Our past financial performance is attributable to our market position in the industry. Over time, there may be new investors into our industry, and the current BOPET film manufacturers may expand their production capacity. We believe that currently our major competitors in the BOPET manufacturing market in the PRC include Dupont Hongji Films Foshan Co., Ltd., Yihua Toray Polyester Film Co., Ltd., and Ningbo Shunsu Film Co., Ltd.

Our ability to enhance existing products, introduce new products to meet customers’ demand, deliver quality products to our customers and maintain our established industry reputation will affect our competitiveness and market position.

Our ability to compete against new and existing competitors to maintain or improve our market position and secure orders will affect our revenue and financial performance.

Description of Certain Statements of Income Line Items

Revenues

Revenue from the sale of our domestic BOPET film products is recognized when significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the buyer. No revenue is recognized if there are significant uncertainties regarding recovery of the consideration due, associated costs or the possible return of goods, or when the amount of revenue and costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction cannot be measured reliably. In respect of our overseas sales, we ship directly to the destinations of our overseas customers and our revenue is recognized at the time when we receive customs clearance of our exports. Most of our overseas sales are conducted on a Cost, Insurance and Freight (or “CIF”) basis, meaning that we pay the costs and freight necessary to get the products to the port of destination, and the risk of loss is transferred from us to the buyer when the goods pass the ship’s rail at the port of destination. In addition, we have to procure marine insurance against the buyer’s risk of loss of damage to the goods during the carriage. Most of our sales invoices are denominated in the Chinese Yuan (Renminbi), although certain of our overseas sales are denominated in US dollars.

Cost of Goods Sold

Our cost of goods sold comprises mainly of materials costs, energy expenses, factory overheads, packaging materials and direct labor. The breakdown of our cost of goods sold in percentage is as follows:

	Year Ended December 31, 2015			Year Ended December 31, 2014			Year Ended December 31, 2013
Materials costs		66.4	%		67.8	%		71.4	%
Energy expense		11.8	%		9.9	%		9.0	%
Factory overhead		13.5	%		16.4	%		14.6	%
Packaging materials		3.8	%		2.8	%		2.7	%
Direct labor		4.5	%		3.1	%		2.3	%

Material Costs

As noted above, the raw materials used in our BOPET film production are PET resin and additives, which made up approximately 75.5% and 24.5%, respectively of our total materials costs in 2015.

Energy expense

Energy expense includes electricity, gas and water costs, in which electricity is the main energy consumed.

Factory Overhead

Factory overhead comprises primarily of depreciation, electricity and water charges, and repair and maintenance of our machinery and equipment, etc. In 2015, the depreciation expense and repair and maintenance expenditure accounted for 72.2% and 19.0% of factory overhead, respectively.

Packaging Materials

Our packaging materials mainly comprise of, among other things, packaging pallets and carton cores, used for the packaging of our BOPET film products for delivery to customers. Generally, our unit cost of packaging materials does not fluctuate significantly and our total costs for packaging materials typically vary in line with our sales volume.

Direct Labor

Direct labor cost includes salaries, wages, bonuses and other payments to our employees in the PRC who are involved in the production of our products. The main factors affecting our direct labor cost are CPI, the changes of any government policies or laws and the demand and supply of skilled labor.

Operating Expenses

Our operating expenses comprise of administrative expenses, distribution expenses and other operating expense.

Our administrative expenses comprise mainly of administrative staff salaries and related welfare costs, research and development expenses, depreciation charges of office equipment, furniture and fixtures, amortization charges relating to land use rights, allowance for doubtful trade receivables, professional fees, government duties and fees, insurance expenses, rental expenses, travel expenses, entertainment expenses, office expenses and miscellaneous expenses.

Our distribution expenses comprise mainly of freight costs, travel expenses, marketing and promotion expenses as well as salaries and commission paid to our sales and marketing personnel.

Other operating expenses comprise mainly of loss on disposal of property, plant and equipment and miscellaneous expenses.

Finance Costs

Finance costs comprise mainly of interest expense relating to our loans, capital lease obligations, exchange deficit and bank charge.

Income Tax Expense

For the period from January 28, 2003 to December 31, 2004, Shandong Fuwei was granted certain tax relief under which it was exempted from PRC income tax. As of January 2005, Shandong Fuwei has been a wholly foreign-owned enterprise under the laws of the PRC. Accordingly, Shandong Fuwei is entitled to tax concessions whereby the profit for the first two financial years beginning with the first profit-making year (after setting off tax losses carried forward from prior years) is exempt from income tax in the PRC and the profit for each of the subsequent three financial years is taxed at 50% of the prevailing tax rates set by the relevant tax authorities.

On March 16, 2007, the National People’s Congress of the PRC passed the Enterprise Income Tax Law of the People’s Republic of China, which law took effect on January 1, 2008 (the “New Tax Law”). Under the New Tax Law, domestic enterprises and foreign-invested enterprises will generally become subject to a unified enterprise income tax rate of 25%, except that enterprises incorporated prior to March 16, 2007 may continue to enjoy existing preferential tax treatments until January 1, 2013. In addition, certain qualifying “High Technology Enterprises” may still benefit from a preferential tax rate of 15% under the New Tax Law if they meet the definition of “Government Advocated High Technology Enterprise” to be set forth in the more detailed implementing rules when they become adopted. Shandong Fuwei was designated as a High-and-New Tech Enterprise in December 2008 and will retain its status as a high-tech enterprise for three years commencing from 2011 enjoying a favorable corporate tax rate of 15% during the term from January 1, 2011 to December 31, 2013 pursuant to Enterprise Income Tax Law. In December 2014, Shandong Fuwei failed to be designated as a High Technology Enterprise and it became subject to a standard enterprise income tax at a rate of 25% in 2014 and 2015.

The US entity, Fuwei Films USA, LLC, is headquartered in South Carolina. As of December 31, 2015, the income tax rate is 39%, including 34% of federal income tax rate and 5% of state income tax rate.

Inflation

According to the National Bureau of Statistics of China, the change in the consumer price index in China was 1.6%, 2.0% and 2.6% in 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Critical Accounting Policies

The SEC defines critical accounting policies as those that are, in management's view, most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and those that require significant judgments and estimates. We prepare our financial statements in accordance with the U.S. GAAP, which requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of our assets and liabilities, to disclose contingent assets and liabilities on the date of the financial statements, and to disclose the reported amounts of revenues and expenses incurred during the financial reporting period. We continue to evaluate these estimates and assumptions based on the most recently available information, our own historical experience and various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. We rely on these evaluations as the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Since the use of estimates is an integral component of the financial reporting process, actual results could differ from those estimates. Some of our accounting policies require higher degrees of judgment than others in their application. We consider the policies discussed below to be critical to an understanding of our financial statements as their application assists management in making their business decisions.

Goodwill Impairment Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price and related costs over the value assigned to the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets of businesses acquired. Goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment annually, or when circumstances indicate a possible impairment may exist. Impairment testing is performed at a reporting unit level. An impairment loss generally would be recognized when the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit, with the fair value of the reporting unit determined using a discounted cash flow (DCF) analysis. A number of significant assumptions and estimates are involved in the application of the DCF analysis to forecast operating cash flows, including the discount rate, the internal rate of return, and projections of realizations and costs to produce. Management considers historical experience and all available information at the time the fair values of its reporting units are estimated.

Collectibility of Accounts Receivable Our management has a credit policy in place and the exposure to credit risk is monitored on an ongoing basis. Credit evaluations are performed on all customers requiring credit over a certain amount. Generally, we offer our customers in the PRC credit terms of up to 30-45 days. Our international sales are settled through telegraphic transfer and letters of credit, which generally have payment terms of between 30 and 60 days.

We offer different credit terms to our customers based on criteria such as working relationship, payment history, creditworthiness and their financial position. All credit terms are to be approved by our finance department, in consultation with our sales and marketing department. For extension of larger credit limits, approvals have to be sought from our credit committee which is made up of members from our finance department, sales department and CFO. Our finance department and sales department review our outstanding debt account on a monthly basis and follow up with customers when payments are due. We do not impose interest charges on overdue account receivable.

As of December 31, 2015, our largest trade debtor was Zhuhai City Nengdong Technolgogy Optical Materials Co., Ltd, a company based in China, The balance of trade receivables from Zhuhai City Nengdong Technolgogy Optical Materials Co., Ltd, was RMB1.52 million.

We make specific allowance for doubtful trade receivables when our management takes the view (taking into account the aging of trade receivables and in consultation with our sales department) that we will not be able to collect the amounts due. Our customers pay by installments, creating long accounts receivable cycles. We provide for an allowance for doubtful accounts based on our best estimate of the amount of losses that could result from the inability or intention of our existing customers not to make the required payments. We generally review the allowance by taking into account factors such as historical experience, age of the accounts receivable balances and economic conditions.

Specific write-off of trade receivables is made when the outstanding trade receivables have been due for more than two years.

The analysis of the allowance for doubtful amounts for 2015, 2014 and 2013 is as follows (in thousands):

	December 31,2015						December 31,2014		December 31,2013
	RMB			US$			RMB		RMB
Balance at beginning of year		825			127			795		1,196
Bad debt expense (recovery)		(78	)		(12	)		30		(401	)
Write-offs		-			-			-		-

Balance at end of year		747			115			825		795

Impairment of Long-lived Assets

The Company recognizes an impairment loss when circumstances indicate that the carrying value of long-lived assets with finite lives may not be recoverable. Management’s policy in determining whether an impairment indicator exists, a triggering event, comprises measurable operating performance criteria at an asset group level as well as qualitative measures. If an analysis is necessitated by the occurrence of a triggering event, the Company uses assumptions, which are predominately identified from the Company’s strategic long-range plans, in determining the impairment amount. In the calculation of the fair value of long-lived assets, the Company compares the carrying amount of the asset group with the estimated future cash flows expected to result from the use of the assets. If the carrying amount of the asset group exceeds the estimated expected undiscounted future cash flows, the Company measures the amount of the impairment by comparing the carrying amount of the asset group with their estimated fair value. We estimate the fair value of assets based on market prices (i.e., the amount for which the asset could be bought by or sold to a third party), when available. When market prices are not available, we estimate the fair value of the asset group using discounted expected future cash flows at the Company’s weighted-average cost of capital. Management believes its policy is reasonable and is consistently applied. Future expected cash flows are based upon estimates that, if not achieved, may result in significantly different results.

		248,862		38,418		100	%		284,464		100	%

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015, net revenues were RMB248.9 million (US$38.4 million), compared to RMB284.5 million during the same period in 2014, representing a decrease of RMB35.6 million or 12.5%, mainly due to the reduction of average sales price by 13.5% caused by the decrease in the price of main raw materials. For further analysis of the factors causing revenue decrease, the reduction of average sales price caused a decrease of RMB38.8 million and sales volume factor made an increase of RMB3.2 million.

In 2015, sales of specialty films were RMB73.9 million (US$11.4 million) or 29.7% of our total revenues as compared to RMB79.6 million or 28.0% in 2014, which was a decrease of RMB5.7 million, or 7.2%, as compared to the same period in 2014. The decrease was largely attributable to the decrease in sales average price by 8.9% for dry films and coated films due to the entrances of new competitors.

Overseas sales were RMB54.6 million or US$8.4 million, or 22.0% of total revenues, compared with RMB43.0 million or 15.1% of total revenues in 2014. For further analysis of the factors causing overseas sales increase, the decrease of average sales price caused a decrease of RMB8.0 million and sales volume factor made an increase of RMB19.6 million.

The following is a breakdown of domestic versus overseas sales for the periods ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 (amounts in thousands):

	For the year ended December 31,
	2015							2014
	RMB		US$		% of Total			RMB		% of Total
Sales in China		194,226		29,984		78.0	%		241,446		84.9	%
Sales in other countries		54,636		8,434		22.0	%		43,018		15.1	%
		248,862		38,418		100.0	%		284,464		100.0	%

Cost of Goods Sold

Cost of goods sold during the year of 2015 totaled RMB248.9 million (US$38.4 million) as compared to RMB301.6 million in the prior year. This was RMB52.7 million or 17.5% lower than the same period in 2014. For further analysis of the factors causing cost of goods sold decrease, the reduction of unit cost of goods sold caused a decrease of RMB56.1 million and sales volume factor made an increase of RMB3.4 million. The decrease of cost of goods was mainly due to the price reduction of raw materials.

Gross (Loss) Profit

Our gross margin was zero for the year of 2015, as compared to a gross margin of (6.0) % in 2014. Gross margin increased by 6.0 percentage points compared to the same period in 2014. Our average unit sales price decreased by 13.5% compared to last year. The unit sales cost decreased by 18.4% due to the price reduction of main raw materials. Consequently, the decrease in cost of goods sold per unit exceeded that in product sales price during 2015 compared with 2014, which contributed to the increase in our gross profit.

Operating Expenses

Our operating expenses during the year ended December 31, 2015 were RMB61.2 million, an increase of RMB17.7 million, or 40.7%, as compared to 2014. This increase is mainly due to the accounting treatment that allocated certain amount of fixed overhead from cost of goods sold to general and administrative expense due to the fact that our third production line has not been able to continue its production since April 2015, and impairment on assets incurred during 2015.

Other Expense

Total other expense is a combination result of interest income, interest expense and others income (expense). Total other expense during the year ended December 31, 2015 was RMB0.9 million (US$0.1 million), compared to total other expense of RMB11.4 million in 2014. This was mainly due to mainly attributed to decreased interest expense.

Income Tax Benefit (Expense)

Income tax expense during the year ended December 31, 2015 was RMB7.0 million (US$1.1 million) compared to an income tax benefit of RMB0.74 million during 2014, which was mainly attributable to tax effect of changes in deferred tax during 2015. We only recognized deferred tax assets for the loss of 2015 after considering the possibility of realizing the benefits under the conservatism principle.

Fiscal year ended 2014 compared to fiscal year ended 2013

		284,464		45,847		100	%		304,950		100.0	%

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, net revenues were RMB284.5 million (US$45.8 million), compared to RMB305.0 million during the same period in 2013, representing a decrease of RMB20.5 million or 6.7%, mainly due to the reduction of average sales price by 8.8% caused by oversupply arising from stronger competition in China and the decrease in the price of main raw materials.

In 2014, sales of specialty films were RMB79.6 million (US$12.8 million) or 28.0% of our total revenues as compared to RMB89.4 million or 29.3% in 2013, which was a decrease of RMB9.8 million, or 11.0%, as compared to the same period in 2013. For further analysis of the factors causing specialty films revenue decrease, the reduction of average sales price caused a decrease of RMB4.6 million and sales volume factor made a decrease of RMB5.2 million. The decrease was largely attributable to the decrease in sales volume and prices for dry films and heat shrinkable films due to the entrances of new competitors.

Overseas sales were RMB43.0 million or US$6.9 million, or 15.1% of total revenues, compared with RMB41.9 million or 13.7% of total revenues in 2013. For further analysis of the factors causing overseas sales decrease, the decrease of average sales price caused a decrease of RMB6.6 million and sales volume factor made an increase of RMB7.7 million.

The following is a breakdown of domestic versus overseas sales for the periods ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 (amounts in thousands):

	For the year ended December 31,
	2014							2013
	RMB		US$		% of Total			RMB		% of Total
Sales in China		241,446		38,914		84.9	%		263,076		86.3	%

		284,464		45,847		100.0	%		304,950		100.0	%

Cost of Goods Sold

Cost of goods sold during the year of 2014 totaled RMB301.6 million (US$48.6 million) as compared to RMB320.4 million in the prior year. This was RMB18.8 million or 5.9% lower than the same period in 2013. For further analysis of the factors causing cost of goods sold decrease, the reduction of unit cost of goods sold caused a decrease of RMB26.2 million and sales volume factor made an increase of RMB7.4 million. The decrease of cost of goods was mainly due to the price reduction of raw materials.

Gross (Loss) Profit

Our gross loss was RMB17.2 million (US$2.8 million) for the year of 2014, representing a gross margin of (6.0) %, as compared to a gross margin of (5.1) % in 2013. Gross margin decreased by 0.9 percentage points compared to the same period in 2013. Our average unit sales price decreased by 8.8% compared to last year. The unit sales cost decreased by 8% due to the price reduction of main raw materials. Consequently, the decrease in product sales price exceeded that in cost of goods sold per unit during 2014 compared with 2013, which contributed to the decrease in our gross profit.

Operating Expenses

Our operating expenses during the year ended December 31, 2014 were RMB43.5 million, a decrease of RMB5.5 million, or 11.2%, as compared to 2013. The sales expenses decreased by RMB1.7 million mainly due to the reduction of freight. The administrative expense reduced by 3.8 million mainly attributable to the decrease in research and development expenses.

Other Expense

Total other expense is a combination result of interest income, interest expense and others income (expense). Total other expense during the year ended December 31, 2014 was RMB11.4 million (US$1.8 million), compared to total other income of RMB4.6 million in 2013. Total other expense of 2014 increased comparing to that of 2013, which mainly attributed to increased interest expense. Interest expense totaled RMB12.5 million (US$2.0 million) during 2014, RMB2.4 million or 23.8% higher than that in 2013, which was mainly due to higher interest payment associated with increased loans from related party.

Income Tax Benefit (Expense)

Income tax benefit during the year ended December 31, 2014 was RMB0.74 million (US$0.119 million) compared to an income tax benefit of RMB10.0 million during 2013, which was mainly attributable to tax effect of changes in deferred tax during 2014. We did not recognize deferred tax assets for the loss of 2014 after considering the possibility of realizing the benefits under the conservatism principle.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Since inception, our sources of cash were mainly from cash generated from our operations and borrowings from financial institutions and capital contributed by our shareholders.

Our capital expenditures in 2015 have been primarily financed through short-term borrowings from financial institutions and related party. The interest rates of short-term borrowings from financial institutions during the three-year period from 2013 to 2015 ranged from 0% to 7.2%, and these borrowings may not be paid prior to maturity.

Since inception, we have utilized significant amounts of secured short-term financing to fund our acquisition of Brückner, DMT and Dornier production lines and working capital needs. As of December 31, 2015, we had borrowings of RMB6.65 million from Weifang Dongfang State-owned Assets Management Co., Ltd. in the PRC.

Each of the related loan agreements contains provisions regarding collateral, covenants prohibiting us from engaging in certain activities (including selling, mortgaging or otherwise disposing of or encumbering all or substantially all of our assets or before any merger, acquisition, spin-off, or other transaction resulting in a change in our corporate structure) without the lenders consent and acceleration (and setoff) provisions in the event of default in payment or failure to comply with such covenants.

In April 2014, we obtained a loan for a total amount of RMB105million from Shandong SNTON Optical Materials Technology Co., Ltd. (the “Shandong SNTON”) to pay off certain short-term loans due to Bank of Communications Co., Ltd. The interest shall be calculated at the benchmark rate, plus an additional 20% of the said benchmark rate, for the loan of the same term announced by the People’s Bank of China. The interest must be paid quarterly and settled in full at the end of the year. As of December 31, 2014, the principle of this loan and the interest have not been paid. In March 2015, the Company entered into a supplemental agreement with Shandong SNTON pursuant to which the parties agreed that the Company will pay off the principle of this loan plus interest upon availability of new loans from banks or other financial institutions.

As of December 31, 2015, the principle of this loan from Shandong SNTON was RMB104.71 million and the interest was RMB11.8 million.

In May 2014, the Company borrowed RMB15 million from Shandong SNTON Group Co., Ltd. (the “SNTON Group”) solely to purchase raw materials. The interest shall be calculated at the benchmark rate, plus an additional 20% of the said benchmark rate, for the loan of the same term announced by the People’s Bank of China. The interest shall be paid quarterly and settled in full at the end of the year. The Company has agreed to repay this loan prior to December 31, 2014. As of December 31, 2014, the principle of this loan and the interest have not been paid. In March 2015, the Company entered into a supplemental agreement with SNTON Group pursuant to which that the Company agreed to pay off the principle of this loan plus interest upon availability of new loans from banks or other financial institutions.

In May 2015, SNTON Group provided the Company with a loan for the amount of RMB10.0 million.

As of December 31, 2015, the total principle of loans from SNTON Group was RMB25.0 million and the interest payable was RMB1.57 million.

As of December 31, 2015, the total balance of principle of loans from related party was RMB129.71 million and the interest payable was RMB13.37 million.

On November 20, 2009, we signed a long-term loan agreement of RMB10.0 million (US$1.7 million) with Weifang Dongfang State-owned Assets Management Co., Ltd., with an eight-year loan term, which became effective on October 19, 2009 and will expire on October 18, 2017. From 2015 to 2016, we will make principal installment payments of RMB3.35 million (US$0.6 million) per year with the remaining principal balance of RMB3.3 million (US$0.5 million) due in 2017. The annual interest rate for the loan is the benchmark interest rate for over five-year loans announced by the People’s Bank of China reduced by 10% and the applicable annual interest rate for the period ended December 31, 2015 is 4.41%. The loan is guaranteed by Shandong Deqin Investment& Guarantee Co., Ltd. and is used for our projects.

The credit line amounting to RMB45.0 million (US$6.95 million) granted by SPD bank was secured by a pledge of property, plant, land use right. The credit line was used for purchasing raw materials. The term of this credit line was from December 19, 2014 to December 19, 2017. As of December 31, 2015, the amount of credit line used was RMB41,250,000 with a remaining balance of RMB3,750,000.

We believe that, after taking into consideration our present and future banking facilities, borrowing from related party, existing cash and the expected cash flows to be generated from our operations, we have adequate sources of liquidity to meet our short-term obligations and our working capital.

A summary of our cash flows for 2015, 2014 and 2013 is as follows (in thousands):

	2015						2014			2013

Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities was RMB14.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2015 as compared to net cash used in operating activities of RMB18.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2014. This decrease in cash flows from operating activities was attributable primarily to the increased inventory in current year.

Net cash used in operating activities was RMB18.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2014 as compared to net cash provided by operating activities of RMB3.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2013. This decrease in cash flows from operating activities was attributable primarily to the increased operating loss in current year.

Net cash provided by operating activities was RMB3.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 as compared to net cash provided by operating activities of RMB46.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2012. This decrease in cash flows from operating activities was attributable primarily to the increased operating loss in current year.

Investing Activities

Net cash provided by investing activities was RMB23.6 million in 2015 mainly attributable to the receipt of long-term deposit.

Net cash used in investing activities was RMB10.5 million in 2014 mainly due to investment in the third production line project.

Net cash used in investing activities was RMB32.1 million in 2013 mainly due to investment in the third production line project.

Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities was RMB4.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2015, which was mainly due to decreased borrowing from related party.

Net cash provided by financing activities was RMB26.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2014, which was mainly due to increased borrowing from related party.

Net cash provided by financing activities was RMB35.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2013, which was mainly due to increase in Bank’s Acceptance Bill.

Foreign Exchange Exposure

Translations

Our reporting currency is RMB. The functional currency of our operating subsidiary in the PRC is RMB and our operating subsidiary also maintains its books and records in RMB. Accordingly, we are not exposed to any material foreign currency translation effects.

Transactions

We are, to a certain extent, exposed to transaction foreign currency exposure arising from our operations in the PRC.

We began conducting part of our sales in foreign currency in 2004 with the commencement of our overseas sales business. During 2015, 2014 and 2013, approximately 78.0%, 84.9%, and 86.3% respectively, of our revenue was denominated in RMB and the remainder was in US dollar. The proportion of raw materials we purchased within the PRC during 2015, 2014 and 2013 were 100%, 100%, and 98.0%, respectively. The remainder was purchased in US dollars.

Our foreign currency exchange risk arises mainly from this mismatch between the currency of our sales, purchases and operating expenses. We may, therefore, be susceptible to foreign exchange exposure.

In addition, we also maintain US dollar accounts with financial institutions for our US dollar receipts and US dollar payments. We may also incur foreign exchange gains or losses when we convert the US dollar balances into RMB.

Currently, we do not have a formal foreign currency hedging policy as our foreign exchange gains and losses in 2015, 2014 and 2013

were insignificant. Our management believes that it is more efficient for us to assess the hedging need of each transaction on a case-by-case basis. We will continue to monitor our foreign exchange exposure in the future and will consider hedging any material foreign exchange exposure should such need arise.

(i)

The purchase of equipment will be financed by the sale of our ordinary shares or by bank borrowings or by funds generated from business operations.

(ii)

We have a secured long-term loan of RMB6.65 million as for December 31, 2015. Our obligations under our existing loans have been mainly met through the cash flow from our operations and financing activities. In the past, cash flow from operations has been sufficient to meet payment obligations and/or we have been able to extend our borrowings. In the event that our cash flows are insufficient to satisfy these obligations, we may consider additional bank loans, issuing bonds, or other forms of financing to satisfy our capital requirements. December 31, 2015, our principle of loans from related parties was RMB129 million and the interest was RMB13,372,400.

(iii)

The interest expenses are estimated based on the interest rate of borrowings adopted by the People’s Bank of China on December 31, 2015 plus an estimated risk premium on borrowing.

(iv)

The Group has commitments under capital lease agreements as for a part of new third production line and related equipment. The lease has terms of 3 years expiring by the end of December 2015.

(v)

The operating leases mainly relate to our rental of staff dorms and offices. The term of these leases typically ranges from 1 year to two years, and are renewable subject to renegotiation of terms upon expiration. We intend to finance these operating leases from our cash flows from operations.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Contingent Liabilities

We do not have any off-balance sheet guarantees, any outstanding derivative financial instruments, interest rate swap transactions or foreign currency forward contracts.

Inflation

According to the National Bureau of Statistics of China, the change in the consumer price index in China was 1.6%, 2.0% and 2.6% in 2015, 2014 and 2013 respectively.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory: In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11, Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory, which modifies existing requirements regarding measuring inventory at the lower of cost or market. Under existing standards, the market amount requires consideration of replacement cost, net realizable value (NRV), and NRV less an approximately normal profit margin. The new ASU replaces market with NRV, defined as estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. This eliminates the need to determine and consider replacement cost or NRV less an approximately normal profit margin when measuring inventory. This standard is effective prospectively beginning January 1, 2017, with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact that this new guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.

Income Statement-Extraordinary and Unusual Items: In January 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-01 about Income Statement-Extraordinary and Unusual Items (Subtopic 225-20). ASU 2015-01 addresses the elimination from U.S. GAAP the concept of extraordinary items. Presently, an event or transaction is presumed to be an ordinary and usual activity of the reporting entity unless evidence clearly supports its classification as an extraordinary item. If an event or transaction meets the criteria for extraordinary classification, an entity is required to segregate the extraordinary item from the results of ordinary operations and show the item separately in the income statement, net of tax, after income from continuing operations. This amended guidance will prohibit separate disclosure of extraordinary items in the income statement. This amendment is effective for years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2015. Entities may apply the amendment prospectively or retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. Early adoption is permitted provided that the guidance is applied from the beginning of the year of adoption. The Company intends to adopt the accounting standard during the first quarter of 2016, as required, with no material impact.

Disclosure of Going Concern Uncertainties: In August 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-15, Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern (ASU 2014-15), to provide guidance on management’s responsibility in evaluating whether there is substantial doubt about a company’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures. ASU 2014-15 is effective for us in our fourth quarter of fiscal 2017 with early adoption permitted. We do not believe the impact of our pending adoption of ASU 2014-15 on the Company’s financial statements will be material.

Revenue Recognition: In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Topic 606 (ASU 2014-09), to supersede nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP. The core principle of ASU 2014-09 is to recognize revenues when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that is expected to be received for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 defines a five step process to achieve this core principle and, in doing so, it is possible more judgment and estimates may be required within the revenue recognition process than are required under existing U.S. GAAP, including identifying performance obligations in the contract, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price and allocating the transaction price to each separate performance obligation. ASU 2014-09 is effective for us in our first quarter of fiscal 2018 using either of two methods: (i) retrospective to each prior reporting period presented with the option to elect certain practical expedients as defined within ASU 2014-09; or (ii) retrospective with the cumulative effect of initially applying ASU 2014-09 recognized at the date of initial application and providing certain additional disclosures as defined per ASU 2014-09. The adoption of this ASU is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

Other pronouncements issued by the FASB or other authoritative accounting standards group with future effective dates are either not applicable or not significant to the consolidated financial statements of the Company.

Research and Development, Patents and Licenses

We rely on copyright, patent, trademark and other intellectual property law, nondisclosure agreement and technical know-how to protect our intellectual property and proprietary rights. We enter into confidentiality and licensing agreements with the relevant employees. Our senior employees and employees who work in our research and development department and other technical departments have signed agreements acknowledging that we own the rights to all technology, inventions, trade secrets, works of authorship, developments and other processes generated in connection with their employment with us or their use of our resources or relating to our business or our property and that they must assign any ownership rights that they may claim in those works to us. As most of our business is currently conducted in mainland China, we have not taken any action outside mainland China to protect our intellectual property.

As of the date of this Annual Report, we have received 19 patents from the PRC authorities.

We currently sell our products in the PRC with the registered trademark of “Fuwei Films”. Our ability to compete in our markets and to achieve future revenue growth will depend, in significant part, on our ability to protect our proprietary technology and operate without infringing upon the intellectual property rights of others. An infringement upon these rights may reduce or eliminate any competitive advantage we have developed, causing us to lose sales or otherwise harm our business. We are not aware of any infringement or unauthorized use of our intellectual property rights. We will take appropriate legal actions to protect our rights if there is any unauthorized use or infringement of our rights in the future. To date, we have not been sued for infringement of intellectual property rights by any third party.

Trend Information

Since the second half of 2011, the international capacity of BOPET films surged especially in countries such as India and China which attributed to more supply than demand and reduced prices in the market. We expect this trend to continue in 2016, which will result in fierce price competition. We expect that in the next two to three years, the global BOPET production capacity will continue to increase while supply will continue to surpass demand in the market.

In addition, aiming at the rapidly developed thick films market (with applications in high value-added electronics, electrical, solar energy and other industries), giants including Mitsubishi Plastics, Inc., SKC, Inc. and China Lucky Film Corporation invested in and built production lines in China, which will bring challenges and fiercer competition to our thick film project.

Other than as disclosed elsewhere in this Annual Report, we are not aware of any trends, uncertainties, demands, commitments or events that are reasonably likely to have a material effect on our net sales, profitability, liquidity or capital resources, or that caused the disclosed financial information to not necessarily be indicative of future operating results or financial conditions.

As of December 31, 2014, Hongkong Ruishang International Trade Co. Ltd controlled 52.9% of the outstanding ordinary shares of Fuwei. As a result, Fuwei is considered to be a Controlled Company and relied upon the exemption from December 25, 2007.

Share Option Plan

We plan to adopt a share option plan that is a share incentive plan, the purpose of which is to recognize and acknowledge the contributions the eligible participants had or may have made to our company. The share option plan will provide the eligible participants an opportunity to have a personal stake in our company with the view to achieving the following objectives:

motivate the eligible participants to optimize their performance efficiency for the benefit of our company; and

attract and retain or otherwise maintain an on-going business relationship with the eligible participants whose contributions are or will be beneficial to our long-term growth.

Indemnification

Cayman Islands law does not limit the extent to which a company’s articles of association may provide for indemnification of officers and directors, except to the extent any such provision may be held by the Cayman Islands courts to be contrary to public policy, such as to provide indemnification against civil fraud or the consequences of committing a crime. Pursuant to our memorandum and articles of association, our directors and officers, as well as any liquidator or trustee for the time being acting in relation to our affairs, will be indemnified and secured harmless out of our assets and profits from and against all actions, costs, charges, losses, damages and expenses that any of them or any of their heirs, executors or administrators may incur or sustain by reason of any act done, concurred in or omitted in or about the execution of their duties in their respective offices or trusts. Accordingly, none of these indemnified persons will be answerable for the acts, receipts, neglects or defaults of each other; neither will they be answerable for joining in any receipts for the sake of conformity, or for any bankers or other persons with whom any moneys or effects belonging to us may have been lodged or deposited for safe custody, or for insufficiency or deficiency of any security upon which any moneys of or belonging to us may be placed out or invested, or for any other loss, misfortune or damage which may happen in the execution of their respective offices or trusts. This indemnity will not, however, extend to any fraud or dishonesty that may attach to any of said persons.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling us pursuant to the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

C. Board practices

Our Articles provide that our board of directors will consist of not less than two directors. At each annual general meeting, one-third of the directors (or, if their number is not a multiple of three, the number nearest to but not greater than one-third) shall retire from office by rotation except that the chairman of the board and/or the managing director of our company shall not be required to retire whilst holding such office nor be taken into account in determining the number of directors to retire in each year. A director who is appointed by the board must retire at our next annual general meeting of the shareholders following his or her appointment. A retiring director is eligible for re-election.

D. Employees

As of December 31, 2015, our total staff consisted of 241 employees.

A. Consolidated Statements and Other Financial Information.

Our consolidated financial statements are included herein under Item 18.

We have not paid any dividends on our ordinary shares. The payment of dividends in the future, if any, is within the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend upon our earnings, capital requirements and financial condition and other relevant factors.

Legal Proceedings.

From time to time, we may be subject to legal actions and other claims arising in the ordinary course of business. Shandong Fuwei is currently a party to three legal proceedings in China.

On July 9, 2012, a client filed a lawsuit in Beijing Daxing District People’s Court against Shandong Fuwei claiming RMB953,113 plus interest over disputes arising from a Procurement Contract between the parties. Shandong Fuwei raised a jurisdictional objection upon filing its plea, and Beijing Daxing District People’s Court overruled the objection. Shandong Fuwei filed an appeal against the judgment in the First Intermediate People’s Court of Beijing. The appeal was dismissed on January 23, 2013. On May 15, 2013, Beijing Daxing District People’s Court heard the case and adjourned the hearing due to the fact that plaintiff failed to provide sufficient evidence. On June 25, 2013, the case was heard in Beijing Daxing District People’s Court again and it was further adjourned due to plaintiff’s failure to provide sufficient evidence. The case was then scheduled to be heard on August 7, 2013. However, on the day prior to re-scheduled hearing, Shandong Fuwei was informed by Beijing Daxing District People’s Court that the hearing was adjourned further for the same reason that plaintiff failed to provide sufficient evidence. On April 21, 2014, the case was heard, and the plaintiff failed to provide sufficient evidence and the hearing was further adjourned. On May 28, 2014, the case was heard and the plaintiff provided some evidence. On August 25, 2014, the case was heard again. On November 5, 2014, the court accepted the withdrawal application from the plaintiff. On November 26, 2014, the plaintiff filed a second lawsuit in Beijing Daxing District People’s Court against Shandong Fuwei over disputes arising from the Procurement Contract between the parties claiming RMB618,230 plus interest as a result of non- payment. The case was heard on January 26, 2015, where the two parties testified over the relevant evidence. The case was heard on March 3, 2015 and October 26, 2015. To date, the case has not been decided.

On January 21, 2014, Shandong Fuwei received a complaint from Zeng Wenhong, a Hong Kong citizen, plaintiff against Shandong Fuwei with a claim for a refund of US$500,000 (approximately RMB4,138,250) and related interest of RMB2,331,784. The plaintiff alleged that Shandong Fuwei has agreed to sell to the plaintiff ordinary shares of the Company pursuant to an oral agreement between the plaintiff and Shandong Fuwei in June 2005, and as a result the plaintiff transferred US$500,000 to Wellplus Investments (Hong Kong) Limited to be used for acquiring the ordinary shares of the Company. However, the plaintiff never received such shares. The case was heard by the Intermediate People's Court of Weifang on April 3, 2014. On October 28, 2014, the case was heard again and the plaintiff submitted additional evidence. On September 25, 2015, Shandong Fuwei received a written judgment issued by the Intermediate People’s Court of Weifang ordering Shandong Fuwei to refundUS$500,000 together wit its interest to the plaintiff. Shandong Fuwei has filed for an appeal to the High People’s Court’s of Weifang within the appeal period.

On June 28, 2014, an equipment supplier filed a lawsuit in Weifang High-Tech District People’s Court against Shandong Fuwei over disputes arising from a Procurement Contract between the parties with a claim for RMB844,000 plus interest of RMB134,000. The case has been settled between the two parties. Pursuant to the terms of the settlement, Shandong Fuwei shall pay the plaintiff RMB750,000 through bank acceptance note prior to February 7, 2015. The remaining balance of RMB94,000 shall be paid within two days of reaching resolution on the eight remaining disputes between the two parties. Thereafter, neither party will bear any further liability. To date, Shandong Fuwei has made a payment to the plaintiff in the amount of RMB750,000. The remaining disputes arising from the Procurement Contract are in the process of being resolved.

Item 10. Additional Information.

A. Share Capital.

Not applicable.

B. Memorandum and Articles of Association.

We are a Cayman Islands company and our affairs are governed by our memorandum and articles of association and the Companies Law, Cap.22 (Law 3 of 1961, as consolidated and revised) of the Cayman Islands, or the Companies Law. We have filed copies of our complete Memorandum and Articles of Association as exhibits to our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended 2006 filed with the SEC on April 2, 2007.

As of the date of this Annual Report, our authorized share capital consisted of 20,000,000 ordinary shares, par value US$0.129752 per share. As of the date of this Annual Report, 13,062,500 ordinary shares were issued and outstanding, and no preference shares were issued and outstanding.

Ordinary Shares

We were incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands as an exempted company. A Cayman Islands exempted company:

is a company that conducts its business outside the Cayman Islands;

is exempted from certain requirements of the Companies Law, including the filing of any annual return of its shareholders with the Registrar of Companies or the Immigration Board;

does not have to make its register of shareholders open to inspection; and

may obtain an undertaking against the imposition of any future taxation.

The following summarizes the terms and provisions of our share capital, as well as the material applicable laws of the Cayman Islands. This summary is not complete, and you should read our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, filed as exhibits to this Annual Report.

The following discussion primarily concerns ordinary shares and the rights of holders of ordinary shares.

Protection of Minority Shareholders

The Grand Court of the Cayman Islands may, on the application of shareholders holding not less than one fifth of our shares in issue, appoint an inspector to examine our affairs and report thereon in a manner as the Grand Court shall direct.

Any shareholder may petition the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands which may make a winding up order, if the court is of the opinion that it is just and equitable that we should be wound up. Where any such petition has been presented by our shareholders, the Grand Court is permitted to make alternative order to a winding-up order including orders regulating the conduct of our affairs in the future, requiring us to refrain from doing an act complained of by the petitioner or for the purchase of our shares by us or another shareholder.

Claims against us by our shareholders must, as a general rule, be based on the general laws of contract or tort applicable in the Cayman Islands or their individual rights as shareholders as established by our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association.

The Cayman Islands courts ordinarily would be expected to follow English case law precedents which permit a minority shareholder to commence a representative action against, or derivative actions in our name to challenge:

an act which is ultra vires or illegal;

an act which constitutes a fraud against the minority shareholder and the wrongdoers are themselves in control of us; and

an irregularity in the passing of a resolution which requires a qualified (or special) majority.

Pre-emption Rights

There are no pre-emption rights applicable to the issue of new shares under either Cayman Islands law or our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association.

Modification of Rights

Except with respect to share capital (as described below) alterations to our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association may only be made by special resolution of no less than two-thirds of votes cast at a meeting of the shareholders.

Subject to the Companies Law, all or any of the special rights attached to shares of any class (unless otherwise provided for by the terms of issue of the shares of that class) may be varied, modified or abrogated with the sanction of a special resolution passed at a separate general meeting of the holders of the shares of that class.

The provisions of our amended and restated articles of association relating to general meetings shall apply similarly to every such separate general meeting, but the quorum for the purposes of any such separate general meeting or at its adjourned meeting shall be a person or persons together holding (or represented by proxy) not less than one third in nominal value of the issued shares of that class. Every holder of shares of the class shall be entitled on a poll to one vote for every such share held by such holder and that any holder of shares of that class present in person or by proxy may demand a poll.

The special rights conferred upon the holders of any class of shares shall not, unless otherwise expressly provided in the rights attaching to or the terms of issue of such shares, be deemed to be varied by the creation or issue of further shares ranking pari passu therewith.

Alteration of Capital

We may from time to time by ordinary resolution:

increase our capital by such sum, to be divided into shares of such amounts, as the resolution shall prescribe;

consolidate and divide all or any of our share capital into shares of larger amount than our existing shares;

cancel any shares which at the date of the passing of the resolution have not been taken or agreed to be taken by any person, and diminish the amount of our share capital by the amount of the shares so cancelled subject to the provisions of the Companies Law;

sub-divide our shares or any of them into shares of smaller amount than is fixed by our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, subject nevertheless to the Companies Law, and so that the resolution whereby any share is subdivided may determine that, as between the holders of the share resulting from such subdivision, one or more of the shares may have any such preference or other special rights, or may have such deferred rights or be subject to any such restrictions as compared with, the others as we have power to attach to unissued or new shares; and

divide shares into several classes and without prejudice to any special rights previously conferred on the holders of existing shares, attach to the shares respectively as preferential, deferred, qualified or special rights, privileges, conditions or such restrictions which, in the absence of any such determination in a general meeting, may be determined by our directors.

We may, by special resolution, subject to any confirmation or consent required by the Companies Law, reduce our share capital or any capital redemption reserve in any manner authorized by law.

Transfer of Shares

Subject to any applicable restrictions set forth in our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, any of our shareholders may transfer all or any of his or her shares by an instrument of transfer in the usual or common form or in any form prescribed by the NASDAQ Global Market or in any other form which our directors may approve. You should note that, under Cayman Islands law, a person whose name is entered on the register of members will be deemed to be a member or shareholder of our company. We have designated American Stock Transfer and Trust Company as our share registrar. Under Cayman Islands law, a share certificate constitutes admissible evidence as proof of title of its holder to the shares specified on such certificate.

Our directors may decline to register any transfer of any share which is not paid up or on which we have a lien. Our directors may also decline to register any transfer of any share unless:

the instrument of transfer is lodged with us accompanied by the certificate for the shares to which it relates and such other evidence as our directors may reasonably require to show the right of the transferor to make the transfer;

the instrument of transfer is in respect of only one class of shares;

the instrument of transfer is properly stamped (in circumstances where stamping is required);

in the case of a transfer to joint holders, the number of joint holders to whom the share is to be transferred does not exceed four; and

a fee of such maximum sum as the NASDAQ Global Market may at any time determine to be payable or such lesser sum as our directors may from time to time require is paid to us in respect thereof.

If our directors refuse to register a transfer, they shall, within two months after the date on which the instrument of transfer was lodged, send to each of the transferor and the transferee notice of such refusal.

The registration of transfers may, on notice being given by advertisement in such one or more newspapers or by any other means in accordance with any requirements of the NASDAQ Global Market, be suspended and the register closed at such times and for such periods as our directors may from time to time determine; provided, however, that the registration of transfers shall not be suspended nor the register closed for more than 30 days in any year as our directors may determine.

Share Repurchase

We are empowered by the Companies Law and our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association to purchase our own shares, subject to certain restrictions. Our directors may only exercise this power on our behalf, subject to the Companies Law, our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association and to any applicable requirements imposed from time to time by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, the NASDAQ Global Market, or by any recognized stock exchange on which our securities are listed.

Dividends

Subject to the Companies Law, we may declare dividends in any currency to be paid to our shareholders. Dividends may be declared and paid out of our profits, realized or unrealized, or from any reserve set aside from profits which our directors determine is no longer needed. Our board of directors may also declare and pay dividends out of the share premium account or any other fund or account which can be authorized for this purpose in accordance with the Companies Law.

Except in so far as the rights attaching to, or the terms of issue of, any share otherwise provides (1) all dividends shall be declared and paid according to the amounts paid up on the shares in respect of which the dividend is paid, but no amount paid up on a share in advance of calls shall be treated for this purpose as paid up on that share and (2) all dividends shall be apportioned and paid pro rata according to the amounts paid upon the shares during any portion or portions of the period in respect of which the dividend is paid.

Our directors may also pay any dividend that is payable on any shares semi-annually or on any other dates, whenever our financial position, in the opinion of our directors, justifies such payment.

Our directors may deduct from any dividend or other money payable to any shareholder all sums of money (if any) presently payable by such shareholder to us on account of calls or otherwise.

No dividend or other money payable by us on or in respect of any share shall bear interest against us.

In respect of any dividend proposed to be paid or declared on our share capital, our directors may resolve and direct that (1) such dividend be satisfied wholly or in part in the form of an allotment of shares credited as fully paid up, provided that our shareholders entitled thereto will be entitled to elect to receive such dividend (or part thereof if our directors so determine) in cash in lieu of such allotment, or (2) the shareholders entitled to such dividend will be entitled to elect to receive an allotment of shares credited as fully paid up in lieu of the whole or such part of the dividend as our directors may think fit. We may also, on the recommendation of our directors, resolve in respect of any particular dividend that, notwithstanding the foregoing, it may be satisfied wholly in the form of an allotment of shares credited as fully paid up without offering any right of shareholders to elect to receive such dividend in cash in lieu of such allotment.

Any dividend, interest or other sum payable in cash to any shareholder may be paid by check or warrant sent by mail addressed to the shareholder at his registered address, or addressed to such person and at such addresses as the shareholder may direct. Every check or warrant shall, unless the shareholder or joint shareholders otherwise direct, be made payable to the order of the shareholder or, in the case of joint shareholders, to the order of the shareholder whose name stands first on the register in respect of such shares, and shall be sent at their risk and payment of the check or warrant by the bank on which it is drawn shall constitute a good discharge to us.

All dividends unclaimed by shareholders for one year after having been declared may be invested or otherwise made use of by our board of directors for the benefit of our company until claimed. Any dividend unclaimed by shareholders after a period of six years from the date of declaration of such dividend may be forfeited and, if so forfeited, shall revert to us.

Whenever our directors have resolved that a dividend be paid or declared, our directors may further resolve that such dividend be satisfied wholly or in part by the distribution of specific assets of any kind, and in particular of paid up shares, debentures or warrants to subscribe for our securities or securities of any other company. Where any difficulty arises with regard to such distribution, our directors may settle it as they think expedient. In particular, our directors may issue fractional certificates, ignore fractions altogether or round the same up or down, fix the value for distribution purposes of any such specific assets, determine that cash payments shall be made to any of our shareholders upon the footing of the value so fixed in order to adjust the rights of the parties, vest any such specific assets in trustees as may seem expedient to our directors, and appoint any person to sign any requisite instruments of transfer and other documents on behalf of a person entitled to the dividend, which appointment shall be effective and binding on our shareholders.

Untraceable Shareholders

We are entitled to sell any shares of a shareholder who is untraceable, provided that:

all checks or warrants in respect of dividends of such shares, not being less than three in number, for any sums payable in cash to the holder of such shares have remained uncashed for a period of twelve years prior to the publication of the advertisement and during the three months referred to in the third bullet point below;

we have not during that time received any indication of the whereabouts or existence of the shareholder or person entitled to such shares by death, bankruptcy or operation of law; and

we have caused an advertisement to be published in newspapers in the manner stipulated by our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, giving notice of our intention to sell these shares, and a period of three months has elapsed since such advertisement and the NASDAQ Global Market has been notified of such intention.

The net proceeds of any such sale shall belong to us, and when we receive these net proceeds we shall become indebted to the former shareholder for an amount equal to such net proceeds.

Issuance of Additional Ordinary Shares or Preference Shares

Subject to the Companies Law and the rules of the NASDAQ Global Market and without prejudice to any special rights or restrictions for the time being attached to any shares or any class of shares, our board of directors may issue additional ordinary shares from time to time as our board of directors determines, to the extent of available authorized but unissued shares and establish from time to time one or more series of preference shares and to determine, with respect to any series of preference shares, the terms and rights of that series, including:

the designation of the series;

the number of shares of the series;

the dividend rights, conversion rights, voting rights; and

the rights and terms of redemption and liquidation preferences.

Subject to the foregoing, our board of directors may issue series of preference shares without action by our shareholders to the extent authorized but unissued. Accordingly, the issuance of preference shares may adversely affect the rights of the holders of the ordinary shares. In addition, the issuance of preference shares may be used as an anti-takeover device without further action on the part of the shareholders. Issuance of preference shares may dilute the voting power of holders of ordinary shares.

Subject to applicable regulatory requirements, our board of directors may issue additional ordinary shares without action by our shareholders to the extent of available authorized but unissued shares. The issuance of additional ordinary shares may be used as an anti-takeover device without further action on the part of the shareholders. Such issuance may dilute the voting power of existing holders of ordinary shares.

Our ordinary shares are listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market under the symbol “FFHL”.

Committees of Board of Directors

Pursuant to our amended and restated articles of association, our board of directors, we have established an audit committee, a compensation committee and a corporate governance and nominating committee.

Differences in Corporate Law

The Companies Law is modeled after similar laws in the United Kingdom but does not follow recent changes in United Kingdom laws. In addition, the Companies Law differs from laws applicable to United States corporations and their shareholders. Set forth below is a summary of the significant differences between the provisions of the Companies Law applicable to us and the laws applicable to companies incorporated in the United States, such as in the State of Delaware.

Duties and Directors

Under Cayman Islands law, at common law, members of a board of directors owe a fiduciary duty to the company to act in good faith in their dealings with or on behalf of the company and exercise their powers and fulfill the duties of their office honestly. This duty has four essential elements:

a duty to act in good faith in the best interests of the company;

a duty not to personally profit from opportunities that arise from the office of director;

a duty to avoid conflicts of interest; and

a duty to exercise powers for the purpose for which such powers were intended.

In general, the Companies Law imposes various duties on officers of a company with respect to certain matters of management and administration of the company. The Companies Law contains provisions, which impose default fines on persons who fail to satisfy those requirements. However, in many circumstances, an individual is only liable if he knowingly is guilty of the default or knowingly and willfully authorizes or permits the default.

In comparison, under Delaware law, the business and affairs of a corporation are managed by or under the direction of its board of directors. In exercising their powers, directors are charged with a fiduciary duty of care to protect the interests of the corporation and a fiduciary duty of loyalty to act in the best interests of its shareholders. The duty of care requires that directors act in an informed and deliberative manner and inform themselves, prior to making a business decision, of all material information reasonably available to them. The duty of care also requires that directors exercise care in overseeing and investigating the conduct of the corporation’s employees. The duty of loyalty may be summarized as the duty to act in good faith, not out of self-interest, and in a manner which the director reasonably believes to be in the best interests of the shareholders.

Under Delaware law, a party challenging the propriety of a decision of a board of directors bears the burden of rebutting the applicability of the presumptions afforded to directors by the “business judgment rule”. If the presumption is not rebutted, the business judgment rule protects the directors and their decisions, and their business judgments will not be second guessed. Where, however, the presumption is rebutted, the directors bear the burden of demonstrating the entire fairness of the relevant transaction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Delaware courts subject directors’ conduct to enhanced scrutiny in respect of defensive actions taken in response to a threat to corporate control and approval of a transaction resulting in a sale of control of the corporation.

Interested Directors

There are no provisions under the Companies Law that require a director who is interested in a transaction entered into by a Cayman Islands company to disclose his interest. However, under our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, our directors are required to do so, and in the event that they do not do so it may render such director liable to such company for any profit realized pursuant to such transaction.

In comparison, under Delaware law, such a transaction would not be voidable if (a) the material facts as to such interested director’s relationship or interests are disclosed or are known to the board of directors and the board in good faith authorizes the transaction by the affirmative vote of a majority of the disinterested directors, even though the disinterested directors are less than a quorum, (b) such material facts are disclosed or are known to the shareholders entitled to vote on such transaction and the transaction is specifically approved in good faith by vote of the shareholders, or (c) the transaction is fair as to the corporation as of the time it is authorized, approved or ratified. Under Delaware law, a director could be held liable for any transaction in which such director derived an improper personal benefit.

Voting Rights and Quorum Requirements

Under Cayman Islands law, the voting rights of shareholders are regulated by the company’s articles of association and, in certain circumstances, the Companies Law. The articles of association will govern matters such as quorum for the transaction of business, rights of shares, and majority votes required to approve any action or resolution at a meeting of the shareholders or board of directors. Under Cayman Islands law, certain matters must be approved by a special resolution which is defined as two-thirds of the votes cast by shareholders present at a meeting and entitled to vote or such higher majority as is specified in the articles of association; otherwise, unless the articles of association otherwise provide, the majority is usually a simple majority of votes cast.

In comparison, under Delaware law, unless otherwise provided in the corporation’s certificate of incorporation, each shareholder is entitled to one vote for each share of stock held by the shareholder. Unless otherwise provided in the corporation’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws, a majority of the shares entitled to vote, present in person or represented by proxy, constitutes a quorum at a meeting of shareholders. In matters other than the election of directors, with the exception of special voting requirements related to extraordinary transactions, the affirmative vote of a majority of shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote is required for shareholder action, and the affirmative vote of a plurality of shares is required for the election of directors.

Mergers and Similar Arrangements

A merger of two or more constituent companies under Cayman Islands law requires a plan of merger or consolidation to be approved by the directors of each constituent company and authorization by (a) a majority in number representing seventy-five percent (75%) in value of the shareholders voting together as one class and (b) if the shares to be issued to each shareholder in the surviving company are to have the same rights and economic value as the shares held in the constituent company, a special resolution of the shareholders voting together as one class.

A merger between a Cayman parent company and its Cayman subsidiary or subsidiaries does not require authorization by a resolution of shareholders. For this purpose a subsidiary is a company of which at least ninety percent (90%) of the issued shares entitled to vote are owned by the parent company.

The consent of each holder of a fixed or floating security interest over a constituent company is required unless this requirement is waived by a court in the Cayman Islands.

Save in certain circumstances, a dissentient shareholder of a Cayman constituent company is entitled to payment of the fair value of his shares upon dissenting to a merger or consolidation. The exercise of appraisal rights will preclude the exercise of any other rights save for the right to seek relief on the grounds that the merger or consolidation is void or unlawful.

There are statutory provisions that facilitate the reconstruction and amalgamation of companies, provided that the arrangement in question is approved by a majority in number of each class of shareholders and creditors with whom the arrangement is to be made, and who must in addition represent three fourths in value of each such class of shareholders or creditors, as the case may be, that are present and voting either in person or by proxy at a meeting, or meetings convened for that purpose.

The convening of the meetings and subsequently the arrangement must be sanctioned by the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands. While a dissenting shareholder would have the right to express to the court the view that the transaction should not be approved, the court can be expected to approve the arrangement if it satisfies itself that:

the company is not proposing to act illegally or ultra vires and the statutory provisions as to majority vote have been complied with;

the shareholders have been fairly represented at the meeting in question;

the arrangement is such as a businessman would reasonably approve; and

the arrangement is not one that would more properly be sanctioned under some other provision of the Companies Law or that would amount to a “fraud on the minority”.

When a takeover offer is made and accepted by holders of 90% of the shares within four months, the offerer may, within a two-month period, require the holders of the remaining shares to transfer such shares on the terms of the offer. An objection may be made to the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands but is unlikely to succeed unless there is evidence of fraud, bad faith or collusion.

Cayman Islands laws do not require that shareholders approve sales of all or substantially all of a company’s assets as is commonly adopted by U.S. corporations.

If the arrangement and reconstruction are thus approved, any dissenting shareholders would have no rights comparable to appraisal rights, which would otherwise ordinarily be available to dissenting shareholders of United States corporations, providing rights to receive payment in cash for the judicially determined value of the shares.

Shareholders’ Suits

The Cayman Islands Grand Court Rules allow shareholders to seek leave to bring derivative actions in the name of the Company against wrongdoers. In principle, we will normally be the proper plaintiff and a derivative action may not be brought by a minority shareholder. However, based on English authorities, who would in all likelihood be of persuasive authority in the Cayman Islands, exceptions to the foregoing principle apply in circumstances in which:

a company is acting or proposing to act illegally or beyond the scope of its authority;

the act complained of, although not beyond the scope of its authority, could be effected duly if authorized by more than a simple majority vote which has not been obtained; and

those who control the company are perpetrating a “fraud on the minority.”

Class actions and derivative actions generally are available to shareholders under Delaware law for, among other things, breach of fiduciary duty, corporate waste and actions not taken in accordance with applicable law. In such actions, the court generally has discretion to permit the winning party to recover attorneys’ fees incurred in connection with such action.

Corporate Governance

Cayman Islands laws do not restrict transactions with directors, requiring only that directors exercise a duty of care and owe a fiduciary duty to the companies for which they serve. Under our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, subject to any separate requirement for audit committee approval under the applicable rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. or unless disqualified by the chairman of the relevant board meeting, so long as a director discloses the nature of his interest in any contract or arrangement which he is interested in, such a director may vote in respect of any contract or proposed contract or arrangement in which such director is interested and may be counted in the quorum at such meeting.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling us pursuant to the foregoing provisions, we have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and therefore is unenforceable.

We are managed by our board of directors. Our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association provide that the number of our directors shall not be less than two and there shall be no maximum number of our directors unless our shareholders in the general meeting otherwise determine a maximum number. Currently we have set our board of directors to have 5 directors. Any director on our board may be removed by way of an ordinary resolution of shareholders. At each annual general meeting, one third of our directors for the time being (or, if their number is not a multiple of three, the number nearest to but not greater than one-third) shall retire from office by rotation provided that the chairman of the Board and/or the managing director of the Company shall not, whilst holding such office, be subject to retirement by rotation. Any vacancies on our board of directors or additions to the existing board of directors can be filled by an ordinary resolution of our shareholders or the affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining directors, although this may be less than a quorum where the number of remaining directors falls below the minimum number fixed by our board of directors. Our directors are not required to hold any of our shares to be qualified to serve on our board of directors.

Meetings of our board of directors may be convened at any time deemed necessary by any one of our directors. Advance notice of a meeting is not required if each director entitled to attend consents to the holding of such meeting.

A meeting of our board of directors at which a quorum is present shall be competent to make lawful and binding decisions. At any meeting of our directors, each director is entitled to one vote.

Questions arising at a meeting of our board of directors are required to be decided by simple majority votes of the members of our board of directors present or represented at the meeting. In the case of a tie vote, the chairman of the meeting shall have a second or deciding vote. Our board of directors may also pass resolutions without a meeting by unanimous written consent.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling us pursuant to the foregoing provisions, we have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and therefore is unenforceable.

Inspection of Corporate Records

Shareholders of a Cayman Islands company have no general right under Cayman Islands law to inspect or obtain copies of a list of shareholders or other corporate records of the company. However, these rights may be provided in the articles of association.

In comparison, under Delaware law, shareholders of a Delaware corporation have the right during normal business hours to inspect for any proper purpose, and to obtain copies of list(s) of shareholders and other books and records of the corporation and its subsidiaries, if any, to the extent the books and records of such subsidiaries are available to the corporation.

Shareholder Proposals

The Companies Law does not provide shareholders any right to bring business before a meeting or requisition a general meeting. However, these rights may be provided in the articles of association.

Unless provided in the corporation’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws, Delaware law does not include a provision restricting the manner in which shareholders may bring business before a meeting.

Approval of Corporate Matters by Written Consent

The Companies Law allows a special resolution to be passed in writing if signed by all the shareholders and authorized by the articles of association.

In comparison, Delaware law permits shareholders to take action by written consent signed by the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting of shareholders.

Calling of Special Shareholders Meetings

The Companies Law does not have provisions governing the proceedings of shareholders meetings that are usually provided in the articles of association.

In comparison, Delaware law permits the board of directors or any person who is authorized under a corporation’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws to call a special meeting of shareholders.

Staggered Board of Directors

The Companies Law does not contain statutory provisions that require staggered board arrangements for a Cayman Islands company. Such provisions, however, may validly be provided for in the articles of association.

In comparison, Delaware law permits corporations to have a staggered board of directors.

Anti-takeover Provisions

Neither Cayman Islands nor Delaware law prevents companies from adopting a wide range of defensive measures, such as staggered boards, blank check preferred, and removal of directors only for cause and provisions that restrict the rights of shareholders to call meetings, act by written consent and submit shareholder proposals.

C. Material Contracts.

Loan Contract

In April 2014, we obtained a loan for a total amount of RMB105 million from Shandong SNTON Optical Materials Technology Co., Ltd (“Shandong SNTON”) to pay off five short-term loans to Bank of Communications Co., Ltd. In May, 2014 and 2015, we obtained loans for the amount of RMB15 million and RMB10 million from SNTON Group solely for the purpose of purchasing raw materials. The interest rate of both loans shall be calculated at the benchmark rate, plus an additional 20% of the said benchmark rate, for the loan of the same term announced by the People’s Bank of China which is the same interest rate calculation method used by Bank of Communications Co., Ltd.

On November 20, 2009, we signed a long-term loan contract of RMB10 million with Weifang Dongfang State-owned Assets Management Co., Ltd. for a term of eight years effective October 19, 2009, which will expire on October 18, 2017. The loan is guaranteed by Shandong Deqin Investment & Guarantee Co., Ltd. and is used for the Company's key projects.

The credit line amounting to RMB45.0 million (US$6.95 million) granted by SPD bank was secured by a pledge of part of property, plant, land use right. The credit line was used to purchase raw materials. The term of this credit line is from December 19, 2014 to December 19, 2017. As of December 31, 2015, the amount of credit line used was RMB41,250,000 and the remaining balance was RMB3,750,000.

Sale-Leaseback Contract

On December 21, 2012, Shandong Fuwei signed a sale-leaseback contract with International Far Eastern Leasing Co., Ltd. (“Far Eastern Leasing”). Far Eastern Leasing purchased certain equipment included in the third production line, and simultaneously leased them back to Shandong Fuwei. Shandong Fuwei will pay rent totaling RMB21.95 million (including interest) to Far Eastern Leasing for 36 months beginning on December 26, 2012 until December 26, 2015. In March 2013, Shandong Fuwei signed another sale-leaseback contract with Far Eastern Leasing, pursuant to which it has agreed to pay total rent of RMB5.49 million (including interest) to Far Eastern Leasing for 36 months beginning on March 27, 2013 until March 27, 2016. The financed equipment mentioned above is covered by an insurance policy, the premium of which will be paid by Shandong Fuwei. The contract was guaranteed by the following entities: Weifang State-owned Assets Operation Administration Company, Fuwei Films (Holdings) Co., Ltd, Fuwei (BVI) Co., Ltd., and Beijing Shiweitong Science and Technology Co., Ltd. In August 2014, Shandong SNTON Group Co., Ltd. accepted the responsibility of guarantee for the Group's obligation from Beijing Shiweitong Technology Development Co., Ltd.

Ownership of Property Transfer Agreement under Sale-Leaseback Contract

On December 21, 2012, Shandong Fuwei signed an ownership of property transfer agreement under sale-leaseback contract with Far Eastern Leasing. According to relevant laws and regulations, through a sale-leaseback, Shandong Fuwei transferred a portion of the third line equipment which valued at RMB20.26 million to Far Eastern Leasing for RMB20.0 million. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, Far Eastern Leasing will make a payment of RMB20.0 million to Shandong Fuwei within 7 business days upon effective date of the agreement. The payment was received by Shandong Fuwei on December 26, 2012.

In addition, on March 26, 2013, Shandong Fuwei signed an ownership of property transfer agreement under sale-leaseback contract with Far Eastern Leasing. According to relevant laws and regulations, through a sale-leaseback, Shandong Fuwei transferred a portion of the third line equipment which was valued at RMB18.1 million to Far Eastern Leasing for RMB5.0 million. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, Far Eastern Leasing will make a payment of RMB5.0 million to Shandong Fuwei within 7 business days upon effective date of the agreement. The payment was received by Shandong Fuwei on March 27, 2013.

D. Exchange Controls.

Chinese government imposes control over the convertibility of RMB into foreign currencies. Under the current unified floating exchange rate system, the People’s Bank of China publishes a daily exchange rate for RMB, or the PBOC Exchange Rate, based on the previous day’s dealings in the inter-bank foreign exchange market. Financial institutions authorized to deal in foreign currency may enter into foreign exchange transactions at exchange rates within an authorized range above or below the PBOC Exchange Rate according to market conditions.

Pursuant to the Foreign Exchange Control Regulations issued by the State Council on January 29, 1996 and effective as of April 1, 1996 (and amended on January 14, 1997) and the Administration of Settlement, Sale and Payment of Foreign Exchange Regulations which came into effect on July 1, 1996 regarding foreign exchange control, or the Regulations, conversion of Renminbi into foreign exchange by foreign investment enterprises for current account items, including the distribution of dividends and profits to foreign investors of joint ventures, is permissible upon the proper production of qualified commercial vouchers or legal documents as required by the Regulations. Foreign investment enterprises are permitted to remit foreign exchange from their foreign exchange bank account in China upon the proper production of, inter alia, the board resolutions declaring the distribution of the dividend and payment of profits. Conversion of RMB into foreign currencies and remittance of foreign currencies for capital account items, including direct investment, loans, security investment, is still subject to the approval of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange, or SAFE, in each such transaction. On January 14, 1997, the State Council amended the Foreign Exchange Control Regulations and added, among other things, an important provision, as Article 5 provides that the State shall not impose restrictions on recurring international payments and transfers.

Under the Regulations, foreign investment enterprises are required to open and maintain separate foreign exchange accounts for capital account items (but not for other items). In addition, foreign investment enterprises may only buy, sell and/or remit foreign currencies at those banks authorized to conduct foreign exchange business upon the production of valid commercial documents and, in the case of capital account item transactions, document approval from SAFE.

Currently, foreign investment enterprises are required to apply to SAFE for “foreign exchange registration certificates for foreign investment enterprises”. With such foreign exchange registration certificates (which are granted to foreign investment enterprises, upon fulfilling specified conditions and which are subject to review and renewal by SAFE on an annual basis) or with the foreign exchange sales notices from the SAFE (which are obtained on a transaction-by-transaction basis), foreign-invested enterprises may enter into foreign exchange transactions at banks authorized to conduct foreign exchange business to obtain foreign exchange for their needs.

E. Taxation.

United States Federal Income Taxation

General

The following is a summary of the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the acquisition, ownership, and disposition of our ordinary shares, based upon laws and relevant interpretations thereof in effect as of the date of this Annual Report on Form 20-F, all of which are subject to change. This summary does not deal with all possible tax consequences relating to an investment in our ordinary shares, such as the tax consequences under state, local or other tax laws.

The discussion below of the U.S. federal income tax consequences to “U.S. Holders” will apply to a beneficial owner of our ordinary shares that is for U.S. federal income tax purposes:

an individual citizen or resident of the United States;

a corporation (or other entity treated as a corporation) that is created or organized (or treated as created or organized) in or under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia;

an estate whose income is includible in gross income for U.S. federal income tax purposes regardless of its source; or

a trust if (i) a U.S. court can exercise primary supervision over the trust’s administration and one or more U.S. persons are authorized to control all substantial decisions of the trust, or (ii) it has a valid election in effect under applicable U.S. Treasury regulations to be treated as a U.S. person.

A beneficial owner of our ordinary shares that is described above is referred to herein as a “U.S. Holder”. If a beneficial owner of our ordinary shares is not described as a U.S. Holder and is not an entity treated as a partnership or other pass-through entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes, such owner will be considered a “Non-U.S. Holder”. The material U.S. federal income tax consequences applicable specifically to Non-U.S. Holders of owning and disposing of our ordinary shares are described below under the heading “Non-U.S. Holders”.

This summary is based on the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code, its legislative history, Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder, published rulings and court decisions, all as currently in effect. These authorities are subject to change or differing interpretations, possibly on a retroactive basis.

This discussion does not address all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation that may be relevant to any particular holder based on such holder’s individual circumstances. In particular, this discussion considers only holders that own and hold our ordinary shares as capital assets within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code, and does not address the potential application of the alternative minimum tax. In addition, this discussion does not address the U.S. federal income tax consequences to holders that are subject to special rules, including:

●

financial institutions or financial services entities;

●

broker-dealers;

●

persons that are subject to the mark-to-market accounting rules under Section 475 of the Code;

●

tax-exempt entities;

●

governments or agencies or instrumentalities thereof;

●

insurance companies;

●

regulated investment companies;

●

real estate investment trusts;

●

certain expatriates or former long-term residents of the United States;

●

persons that actually or constructively own 5% or more of our voting shares;

●

persons that acquired our ordinary shares pursuant to an exercise of employee options, in connection with employee incentive plans or otherwise as compensation;

●

persons that hold our ordinary shares as part of a straddle, constructive sale, hedging, conversion or other integrated transaction;

●

persons whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar;

●

controlled foreign corporations; or

This discussion does not address any aspect of U.S. federal non-income tax laws, such as gift or estate tax laws, or state, local or non-U.S. tax laws or, except as discussed herein, any tax reporting obligations applicable to a holder of our ordinary shares. Additionally, this discussion does not consider the tax treatment of partnerships or other pass-through entities or persons who hold our ordinary shares through such entities. If a partnership (or other entity classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) is the beneficial owner of our ordinary shares, the U.S. federal income tax treatment of a partner in the partnership will generally depend on the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. This discussion also assumes that any distribution made (or deemed made) by us on our ordinary shares and any consideration received (or deemed received) by a holder in consideration for the sale or other disposition of our ordinary shares will be in U.S. dollars.

We have not sought, and will not seek, a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) or an opinion of counsel as to any U.S. federal income tax consequence described herein. The IRS may disagree with the description herein, and its determination may be upheld by a court. Moreover, there can be no assurance that future legislation, regulations, administrative rulings or court decisions will not adversely affect the accuracy of the statements in this discussion.

THIS DISCUSSION IS ONLY A SUMMARY OF THE MATERIAL U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE ACQUISITION, OWNERSHIP AND DISPOSITION OF OUR ORDINARY SHARES. IT IS NOT TAX ADVICE. EACH HOLDER OF OUR ORDINARY SHARES IS URGED TO CONSULT ITS OWN TAX ADVISOR IN RESPECT TO THE PARTICULAR TAX CONSEQUENCES TO SUCH HOLDER OF THE ACQUISITION, OWNERSHIP AND DISPOSITION OF OUR ORDINARY SHARES, INCLUDING THE APPLICABILITY AND EFFECT OF ANY STATE, LOCAL, AND NON-U.S. TAX LAWS, AS WELL AS U.S. FEDERAL TAX LAWS AND ANY APPLICABLE TAX TREATIES.

U.S. Holders

Taxation of Cash Distributions Paid on Ordinary Shares

Subject to the passive foreign investment company (PFIC) rules discussed below, a U.S. Holder generally will be required to include in gross income as ordinary income the amount of any cash dividend paid on our ordinary shares. A cash distribution on our ordinary shares generally will be treated as a dividend for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent paid out of our current or accumulated earnings and profits (as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles). Such dividend generally will not be eligible for the dividends-received deduction generally allowed to domestic corporations in respect of dividends received from other domestic corporations. The portion of such distribution, if any, in excess of such earnings and profits generally will constitute a return of capital that will be applied against and reduce (but not below zero) the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in our ordinary shares. Any remaining excess generally will be treated as gain from the sale or other taxable disposition of such ordinary shares and will be treated as described under “- Taxation on the Disposition of Ordinary Shares” below.

With respect to non-corporate U.S. Holders, such cash dividends may be subject to U.S. federal income tax at the lower applicable regular long term capital gains tax rate (see “-Taxation on the Disposition of Ordinary Shares” below) provided that (a) our ordinary shares are readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States or, in the event we are deemed to be a PRC “resident enterprise” under the relevant PRC tax laws, we are eligible for the benefits of the Agreement between the Government of the United States of America and the Government of the People’s Republic of China for the Avoidance of Double Taxation and the Prevention of Tax Evasion with Respect to Taxes on Income, or the U.S.-PRC Tax Treaty, (b) we are not a PFIC, as discussed below, for either the taxable year in which the dividend was paid or the preceding taxable year, and (c) certain holding period requirements are met. Under published IRS authority, shares are considered for purposes of clause (a) above to be readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States only if they are listed on certain exchanges, which presently include the NASDAQ Capital Market. Although our ordinary shares are currently listed and traded on the NASDAQ Capital Market, U.S. Holders nonetheless should consult their own tax advisors regarding the availability of the lower rate for any cash dividends paid in respect to our ordinary shares.

If a PRC income tax applies to any cash dividends paid to a U.S. Holder on our ordinary shares, such tax may be treated as a foreign tax eligible for a deduction from such holder’s U.S. federal taxable income or a foreign tax credit against such holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability (subject to applicable conditions and limitations). In addition, if such PRC tax applies to any such dividends, a U.S. Holder may be entitled to certain benefits under the U.S.-PRC Tax Treaty if such holder is considered a resident of the United States for purposes of, and otherwise meets the requirements of, the U.S.-PRC Tax Treaty. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the deduction or credit for any such PRC tax and their eligibility for the benefits of the U.S.-PRC Tax Treaty.

Taxation on the Disposition of Ordinary Shares

Upon a sale or other taxable disposition of our ordinary shares, and subject to the PFIC rules discussed below, a U.S. Holder generally will recognize capital gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between the amount realized and the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the ordinary shares.

The regular U.S. federal income tax rate on capital gains recognized by U.S. Holders generally is the same as the regular U.S. federal income tax rate on ordinary income, except that long-term capital gains recognized by non-corporate U.S. Holders generally are subject to U.S. federal income tax at a maximum regular rate of 20%. Capital gain or loss will constitute long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. Holder’s holding period for our ordinary shares exceeds one year. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to various limitations.

If a PRC income tax applies to any gain from the disposition of our ordinary shares by a U.S. Holder, such tax may be treated as a foreign tax eligible for a deduction from such holder’s U.S. federal taxable income or a foreign tax credit against such holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability (subject to applicable conditions and limitations). In addition, if such PRC tax applies to any gain, such U.S. Holder may be entitled to certain benefits under the U.S.-PRC Tax Treaty if such holder is considered a resident of the United States for purposes of, and otherwise meets the requirements of, the U.S.-PRC Tax Treaty. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the deduction or credit for any such PRC tax and their eligibility for the benefits of the U.S.-PRC Tax Treaty.

Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules

A foreign (i.e., non-U.S.) corporation will be a PFIC if at least 75% of its gross income in a taxable year of the foreign corporation, including its pro rata share of the gross income of any corporation in which it is considered to own at least 25% of the shares by value, is passive income. Alternatively, a foreign corporation will be a PFIC if at least 50% of its assets in a taxable year of the foreign corporation, ordinarily determined based on fair market value and averaged quarterly over the year, including its pro rata share of the assets of any corporation in which it is considered to own at least 25% of the shares by value, are held for the production of, or produce, passive income. Passive income generally includes dividends, interest, rents and royalties (other than certain rents or royalties derived from the active conduct of a trade or business), and gains from the disposition of passive assets.

Based on the composition (and estimated values) of our assets and the nature of the income of us and our subsidiaries for our 2015 taxable year, we do not believe that we will be treated as a PFIC for such year. However, because we have not performed a definitive analysis as to our PFIC status for our 2015 taxable year, there can be no assurance in respect to our PFIC status for such taxable year. There also can be no assurance with respect to our status as a PFIC for our current taxable year (2016) or any future taxable year. The determination of whether we are or have been a PFIC is primarily factual, and there is little administrative or judicial authority on which to rely to make a determination of PFIC status. Accordingly, the IRS or a court considering the matter may not agree with any analysis of whether we are or were a PFIC during any particular year.

If we are determined to be a PFIC for any taxable year (or portion thereof) that is included in the holding period of a U.S. Holder of our ordinary shares, and, in the case of our ordinary shares, the U.S. Holder did not make either a timely qualified electing fund, or QEF, election for our first taxable year as a PFIC in which the U.S. Holder held (or was deemed to hold) our ordinary shares, or a mark-to-market election, each as described below, such holder generally will be subject to special rules for regular U.S. federal income tax purposes with respect to:

any gain recognized by the U.S. Holder on the sale or other disposition of our ordinary shares; and

any “excess distribution” made to the U.S. Holder (generally, any distributions to such U.S. Holder during a taxable year of the U.S. Holder that are greater than 125% of the average annual distributions received by such U.S. Holder in respect of the ordinary shares during the three preceding taxable years of such U.S. Holder or, if shorter, such U.S. Holder’s holding period for the ordinary shares).

Under these rules,

the U.S. Holder’s gain or excess distribution will be allocated ratably over the U.S. Holder’s holding period for the ordinary shares;

the amount allocated to the U.S. Holder’s taxable year in which the U.S. Holder recognized the gain or received the excess distribution, or to the period in the U.S. Holder’s holding period before the first day of our first taxable year in which we are qualified as a PFIC, will be taxed as ordinary income;

the amount allocated to other taxable years (or portions thereof) of the U.S. Holder and included in its holding period will be taxed at the highest tax rate in effect for that year and applicable to the U.S. Holder; and

the interest charge generally applicable to underpayments of tax will be imposed in respect of the tax attributable to each such other taxable year of the U.S. Holder.

In general, if we are determined to be a PFIC, a U.S. Holder may avoid the PFIC tax consequences described above in respect to our ordinary shares by making a timely QEF election (or a QEF election along with a purging election). Pursuant to the QEF election, a U.S. Holder generally will be required to include in income its pro rata share of our net capital gains (as long-term capital gain) and other earnings and profits (as ordinary income), on a current basis, in each case whether or not distributed, in the taxable year of the U.S. Holder in which or with which our taxable year ends if we qualified as a PFIC in that taxable year. However, a U.S. Holder may make a QEF election only if we agree to provide certain tax information to such holder annually. At this time, we do not intend to provide U.S. Holders with such information as may be required to make a QEF election effective.

Alternatively, if a U.S. Holder, at the close of its taxable year, owns ordinary shares in a PFIC that are treated as marketable stock, the U.S. Holder may make a mark-to-market election in respect to such ordinary shares for such taxable year. If the U.S. Holder makes a valid mark-to-market election for the first taxable year of the U.S. Holder in which the U.S. Holder holds (or is deemed to hold) ordinary shares and for which we are determined to be PFIC, such holder generally will not be subject to the PFIC rules described above in respect to its ordinary shares as long as such shares continue to be treated as marketable stock. Instead, in general, the U.S. Holder will include as ordinary income for each year that we are treated as a PFIC the excess, if any, of the fair market value of its ordinary shares at the end of its taxable year over the adjusted tax basis in its ordinary shares. The U.S. Holder also will be allowed to take an ordinary loss in respect of the excess, if any, of the adjusted tax basis of its ordinary shares over the fair market value of such shares at the end of its taxable year (but only to the extent of the net amount of previously included income as a result of the mark-to-market election). The U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in its ordinary shares will be adjusted to reflect any such income or loss amounts, and any further gain recognized on a sale or other taxable disposition of the ordinary shares in a taxable year in which we are treated as a PFIC will be treated as ordinary income. Special tax rules may also apply if a U.S. Holder makes a mark-to-market election for a taxable year after the first taxable year in which the U.S. Holder holds (or is deemed to hold) our ordinary shares and for which we are determined to be PFIC.

The mark-to-market election is available only for stock that is regularly traded on a national securities exchange that is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the NASDAQ Capital Market, or on a foreign exchange or market that the IRS determines has rules sufficient to ensure that the market price represents a legitimate and sound fair market value. While our ordinary shares currently are listed and traded on the NASDAQ Capital Market, U.S. Holders nonetheless should consult their own tax advisors regarding the availability and tax consequences of a mark-to-market election in respect to our shares under their particular circumstances.

If we are a PFIC and, at any time, have a foreign subsidiary that is classified as a PFIC, a U.S. Holder of our ordinary shares should be deemed to own a portion of the shares of such lower-tier PFIC, and could incur liability for the deferred tax and interest charge described above if we receive a distribution from, or dispose of all or part of our interest in, or the U.S. Holder were otherwise deemed to have disposed of an interest in, the lower-tier PFIC. U.S. Holders are urged to consult their own tax advisors regarding the tax issues raised by lower-tier PFICs.

A U.S. Holder that owns (or is deemed to own) ordinary shares in a PFIC during any taxable year of the U.S. Holder may have to file an IRS Form 8621 (whether or not a market-to-market election is or has been made) with such U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax return and provide such other information as may be required by the U.S. Treasury Department.

The rules dealing with PFICs and mark-to-market elections are very complex and are affected by various factors in addition to those described above. Accordingly, U.S. Holders of our ordinary shares should consult their own tax advisors concerning the application of the PFIC rules to our ordinary shares under their particular circumstances.

Additional Taxes

U.S. Holders that are individuals, estates or trusts and whose income exceeds certain thresholds generally will be subject to a 3.8% Medicare contribution tax on unearned income, including, without limitation, dividends on, and gains from the sale or other taxable disposition of, our ordinary shares, subject to certain limitations and exceptions. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the effect, if any, of such tax on their ownership and disposition of our ordinary shares.

Non-U.S. Holders

Cash dividends paid to a Non-U.S. Holder in respect to our ordinary shares generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax, unless such dividends are effectively connected with the Non-U.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, are attributable to a permanent establishment or fixed base that such holder maintains or maintained in the United States).

In addition, a Non-U.S. Holder generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on any gain attributable to a sale or other taxable disposition of our ordinary shares unless such gain is effectively connected with its conduct of a trade or business in the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty is attributable to a permanent establishment or fixed base that such holder maintains or maintained in the United States) or the Non-U.S. Holder is an individual who is present in the United States for 183 days or more in the taxable year of sale or other disposition and certain other conditions are met (in which case such gain from U.S. sources generally is subject to U.S. federal income tax at a 30% rate or a lower applicable tax treaty rate).

Cash dividends and gains that are effectively connected with the Non-U.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business in the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, are attributable to a permanent establishment or fixed base that such holder maintains or maintained in the United States) generally will be subject to regular U.S. federal income tax at the same regular U.S. federal income tax rates applicable to a comparable U.S. Holder and, in the case of a Non-U.S. Holder that is a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, may also be subject to an additional branch profits tax at a 30% rate or a lower applicable tax treaty rate.

Backup Withholding and Information Reporting

In general, information reporting for U.S federal income tax purposes should apply to cash distributions made on our ordinary shares within the United States to a U.S. Holder (other than an exempt recipient) and to the proceeds from sales and other dispositions of our ordinary shares by a U.S. Holder (other than an exempt recipient) to or through a U.S. office of a broker. Payments made (and sales and other dispositions effected at an office) outside the United States will be subject to information reporting in limited circumstances. In addition, certain information concerning a U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in its ordinary shares and adjustments to that tax basis and whether any gain or loss with respect to such ordinary shares is long-term or short-term also may be required to be reported to the IRS, and certain holders may be required to file an IRS Form 8938 (Statement of Specified Foreign Financial Assets) to report their interest in our ordinary shares.

Moreover, backup withholding of U.S. federal income tax, at a rate of 28%, generally will apply to cash dividends paid on our ordinary shares to a U.S. Holder (other than an exempt recipient) and the proceeds from sales and other dispositions of our ordinary shares by a U.S. Holder (other than an exempt recipient), in each case who:

fails to provide an accurate taxpayer identification number;

is notified by the IRS that backup withholding is required; or

in certain circumstances fails to comply with applicable certification requirements.

A Non-U.S. Holder generally may eliminate the requirement for information reporting and backup withholding by providing certification of its foreign status, under penalties of perjury, on a duly executed applicable IRS Form W-8 or by otherwise establishing an exemption.

Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Rather, the amount of any backup withholding will be allowed as a credit against a U.S. Holder’s or a Non-U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability and may entitle such holder to a refund, provided that certain required information is timely furnished to the IRS. Holders are urged to consult their own tax advisors regarding the application of backup withholding and the availability of and procedures for obtaining an exemption from backup withholding in their particular circumstances.

Other Non-United States Taxation Treatment

The following discussion is a summary of certain anticipated PRC and Cayman Islands tax consequences of an investment in our ordinary shares. The discussion does not deal with all possible tax consequences relating to an investment in our ordinary shares and does not purport to deal with the tax consequences applicable to all categories of investors, some of which (such as dealers in securities, insurance companies and tax-exempt entities) may be subject to special rules. In particular, the discussion does not address the tax consequences under state, local and other national tax laws. Accordingly, each prospective investor should consult its own tax advisor regarding the particular tax consequences to it of an investment in our ordinary shares. The following discussion is based upon laws and relevant interpretations thereof in effect as of the date of this Annual Report, all of which are subject to change.

China Taxation

There are significant uncertainties under the new corporate income tax law of the PRC, or the New Tax Law, which became effective on January 1, 2008, regarding our PRC enterprise income tax liabilities, such as a tax on any dividends paid to us by our PRC subsidiary. The New Tax Law also contains uncertainties regarding possible PRC withholding tax on dividends we pay to our overseas shareholders and gains realized from the transfer of our shares by our overseas shareholders.

We are a holding company incorporated in the Cayman Islands, which indirectly holds, through Fuwei (BVI), our equity interest in Shandong Fuwei, our subsidiary and actual operating body in the PRC. Our business operations are principally conducted through Shandong Fuwei.

Under the New Tax Law, enterprises established under the laws of jurisdictions outside China with their “de facto management bodies” located within China may be considered to be PRC tax resident enterprises for tax purposes and subjected to the tax obligations of a PRC tax resident. If we or Fuwei (BVI) is considered as a PRC tax resident enterprise under the New Tax Law, then our global income will be subject to PRC enterprise income tax at the rate of 25%.

On April 22, 2009, the State Administration of Taxation issued a Notice Regarding Recognition of Overseas Incorporated Enterprises Controlled by PRC Domestic Enterprises as PRC Resident Enterprises Based on the De Facto Management Body Criteria (the “Tax Residency Notice”). Under the Tax Residency Notice, which was retroactively effective as of January 1, 2008, an overseas enterprise will be deemed to be a PRC resident enterprise and thus subject to Enterprise Income Tax of 25% on its global income if it satisfies four conditions: (i) the company’s management team responsible for daily operations are located in China, or the location where the management team carries out their responsibilities is in China; (ii) finance and personnel decisions are made or need approval by institutions or people in China; (iii) the company’s major property, accounting ledger, company seal and minutes of board meetings and shareholder meetings are kept in China; and (iv) at least half of the members of the board of directors with voting rights or the management team habitually live in China.

Although the Tax Residency Notice applies only to overseas registered enterprises controlled by PRC enterprises, not to those controlled by PRC individuals, the determining criteria set forth in the Tax Residency Notice may reflect the State Administration of Taxation’s general position on how the “de facto management body” test should be applied in determining the tax resident status of offshore enterprises, regardless of whether they are controlled by PRC enterprises or individuals. If we are deemed a PRC resident enterprise, we may be subject to the Enterprise Income Tax at 25% on our global income. If we are considered a resident enterprise and earn income other than dividends from our PRC subsidiaries, a 25% Enterprise Income Tax on our global income could significantly increase our tax burden and materially and adversely affect our cash flow and profitability.

However, China-sourced income of foreign enterprises, such as dividends paid by a PRC subsidiary to its overseas parent, will normally be subject to PRC tax.

Furthermore, the implementation rules of the New Tax Law provide that (i) if the enterprise that distributes the dividends is domiciled in the PRC, or (ii) if gains are realized from transferring equity interests of enterprises domiciled in the PRC, then such dividends or capital gains are treated as China-sourced income. It is not clear how “domicile” may be interpreted under the New Tax Law, and it may be interpreted as the jurisdiction where the enterprise is a tax resident. Therefore, if we are considered as a PRC resident enterprise for PRC tax purposes, any dividends we pay to our overseas shareholders as well as gains realized by such shareholders from the transfer of our shares may be regarded as China-sourced income and, thus, may be subject to PRC tax.

As the New Tax Law and the implementation rules have only recently taken effect, it is uncertain as to how they will be implemented by the relevant PRC tax authorities. If dividend payments from Shandong Fuwei and from Fuwei (BVI) to us are subject to PRC withholding tax, our financial condition and results of operations and the amount of dividends available to pay our shareholders may be adversely affected. Also, if dividends we pay to our overseas shareholders or gains realized by such shareholders from the transfer of our shares are subject to PRC tax, it may materially and adversely affect your investment return and the value of your investment in us. There is an income tax treaty in effect between the United States and China, so U.S. shareholders may be entitled to certain benefits under such treaty.

Cayman Island Taxation

The Cayman Islands currently has no exchange control restrictions. The Cayman Islands currently levies no taxes on individuals or corporations based upon profits, income, gains or appreciation, and there is no taxation in the nature of inheritance tax or estate duty. There are no other taxes likely to be material to the Company levied by the government of the Cayman Islands, save certain stamp duties which may be applicable, from time to time, on certain instruments executed in or brought within the jurisdiction of the Cayman Islands. The Cayman Islands is not a party to any double tax treaties.

Pursuant to section 6 of the Tax Concessions Law (1999 Revision) of the Cayman Islands, the Company has obtained an undertaking from the Governor in Cabinet:

(a) that no law which is enacted in the Cayman Islands imposing any tax to be levied on profits or income or gains or appreciation shall apply to the Company or its operations; and

(b) in addition, that no tax is levied on profits, income, gains or appreciation or no tax which is in the nature of estate duty or inheritance tax shall be payable by the Company:

(i)

on or in respect of the shares, debentures or other obligations of the Company; or

(ii)

by way of withholding in whole or in part of any relevant payment as defined in section 6(3) of the Tax Concession Law (1999 Revision).

The undertaking is for a period of 20 years from August 24, 2004.

I. Subsidiary Information.

Not applicable.

Item 11. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

Foreign exchange risk

We are exposed to the risk of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuation. We have never used derivative instruments to hedge our exchange rate risks, do not plan to do so, and may not be successful should we attempt to do so in the future. Nevertheless, we believe such risk is low as no foreign currency liabilities are incurred and the principal operations are limited mainly to the market in China.

Our operating subsidiary, Shandong Fuwei’s, functional currency is Renminbi while our functional currency is Hong Kong Dollars. Transactions in other currencies are recorded in Renminbi at the rates of exchange prevailing when the transactions occur. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in other currencies are converted into Renminbi at rates of exchange in effect at the balance sheet dates. Exchange gains and losses are recorded in our statements of operations as a component of current period earnings.

The China State Administration for Foreign Exchange, under the authority of the People’s Bank of China, controls the conversion of Renminbi into foreign currencies. The principal regulation governing foreign currency exchange in China is the Foreign Currency Administration Rules (1996), as amended. Under the Rules, once various procedural requirements are met, Renminbi is convertible for current account transactions, including trade and services, but not for capital account transactions, including direct investment, loan or investment in securities outside China, unless the prior approval of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange of China is obtained. Although the Chinese government regulations now allow greater convertibility of Renminbi for current account transactions, significant restrictions still remain. Currently, we are not involved in foreign exchange transactions as all transactions are conducted in China are in Renminbi and all exporting business is completed in U.S. dollars.

The value of the Renminbi is subject to changes in China’s central government policies and to international economic and political developments affecting supply and demand in the China Foreign Exchange Trading System market. Since 1994, the conversion of Renminbi into foreign currencies, including U.S. dollars, has been based on rates set by the People’s Bank of China, which are set daily based on the previous day’s interbank foreign exchange market rates and current exchange rates on the world financial markets. Since 1994, the official exchange rate generally has been stable. The official exchange rate for the conversion of Renminbi into U.S. dollars remained stable until Renminbi was revalued in July 2005 and allowed to fluctuate by reference to a basket of foreign currencies, including the U.S. dollar. Under the new policy, Renminbi is permitted to fluctuate within a band against a basket of foreign currencies.

We conduct substantially all of our operations through Shandong Fuwei, and its financial performance and position are measured in terms of Renminbi. Any appreciation of the Renminbi against the United States dollar would consequently have an adverse effect on our financial performance and asset values when measured in terms of United States dollar. Our solutions are primarily procured, sold and delivered in China for Renminbi. The majority of our revenues are denominated in Renminbi. Should the Renminbi appreciate against United States dollar, such appreciation could have a material adverse effect on our profits and the foreign currency equivalent of such profits repatriated by the Chinese entities to us.

Interest rate risk

We are exposed to interest rate risk arising from having short-term variable rate borrowings from time to time. Our future interest expense would fluctuate in line with any change in our borrowing rates. We do not have any derivative financial instruments and believe our exposure to interest rate risk and other relevant market risks is not material.

Inflation

According to the National Bureau of Statistics of China, the change in Consumer Price Index in China was 1.6%, 2.0% and 2.6% in 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Credit and liquidity risks

We adopt a risk assessment model to our customer credit management system, and we offer different credit terms to our customers based on criteria such as working relationship, payment history, creditworthiness and their financial position. All credit terms are approved by our finance department, in consultation with our sales department. For extension of larger credit limits, approvals have to be sought from our credit committee which is made up of members from our finance department, sales department and the CFO. Our finance department and sales department review our outstanding debtor balances on a monthly basis and follow up with customers when payments are due. We believe that there would not material impact risk to our operations in our credit and liquidity risk from sales and customers and other relevant market risks.

Item 15. Controls and Procedures

(a) Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the principal executive officer and the principal accounting officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as of the end of the period covered by this report (the “Evaluation Date”). Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal accounting officer concluded as of the Evaluation Date that our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective due to the deficiencies described below in “Management’s annual report on internal control over financial reporting.” The material information required to be included in our Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) reports is accumulated and communicated to management (including such officers) as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure and recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms relating to us, including our consolidated subsidiaries.

(b) Management’s annual report on internal control over financial reporting.

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f). Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. In making its assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, management used the criteria issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control-Integrated Framework. Based on our evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded as of the Evaluation Date, our internal controls over financial reporting were ineffective as of December 31, 2015 due to the material weakness described below.

The Public Company Accounting Oversight Board defines a material weakness as a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those responsible for oversight of our financial reporting. A control deficiency exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent or detect misstatements on a timely basis. A deficiency in design exists when:

• a control necessary to meet the control objective is missing; or

• an existing control is not properly designed such that, even if the control operates as designed, the control objective is not always met.

A deficiency in operation exists when a properly designed control does not operate as designed, or when the person performing the control does not possess the necessary authority or qualifications to perform the control effectively.

The material weaknesses identified result from inadequate technical accounting staff with knowledge of and experience with US generally accepted accounting principles, pursuant to which we prepare our consolidated financial statements, to support stand-alone external financial reporting under public company or SEC requirements.

We are in the process of developing and implementing a remediation plan to address the deficiencies in the areas of personnel with knowledge of and experience with US generally accepted accounting principles. However, additional measures may be necessary, and the measures we expect to take to improve our internal controls may not be sufficient to address the issues identified, to ensure that our internal controls are effective or to ensure that such material weakness or other material weaknesses would not result in a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements. In addition, other material weaknesses or significant deficiencies may be identified in the future. If we are unable to correct deficiencies in internal controls in a timely manner, our ability to record, process, summarize and report financial information accurately and within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC will be adversely affected. This failure could negatively affect the market price and trading liquidity of our common stock, cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information, subject us to civil and criminal investigations and penalties, and generally materially and adversely impact our business and financial condition.

All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can only provide reasonable assurances with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. In addition, any evaluation of effectiveness for future periods is subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions in the future.

The Company’s independent auditor, Kabani & Company, Inc., has audited the consolidated financial statements of the Company for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015.

This Annual Report on Form 20-F does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the company to provide only management’s report in this Annual Report.

(d) Changes in internal control over financial reporting.

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that occurred during the year ended December 31, 2015 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting. It should be noted that while our management believes that our disclosure controls and procedures provide a reasonable level of assurance; our management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or internal financial controls will prevent all errors or fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived or operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

Board of Directors and Stockholders of

Fuwei Films (Holdings) Co., Ltd. and Subsidiaries

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Fuwei Films (Holdings) Co., Ltd. and Subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), equity, and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, all expressed in Chinese Yuan (Renminbi or RMB), and US Dollar (USD) expressed only for the year ended December 31, 2015. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Fuwei Films (Holdings) Co., Ltd. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), equity, and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has a working capital deficit of RMB151,599,000 or USD23,403,000 as of December 31, 2015. As more fully described in Note 3(t) to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has incurred a net loss of RMB69,070,000 or USD10,662,570, and the Company may not have sufficient working capital to meet its planned operating activities over the next twelve months. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans regarding these matters are described in Note 3(t). The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty

FUWEI FILMS (HOLDINGS) CO., LTD and SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(amounts in thousands, except share and per share data)

(1) Principal Activities and Reorganization

Fuwei Films (Holdings) Co., Ltd and its subsidiaries (the “Company” or the “Group”) are principally engaged in the production and distribution of BOPET film, a high quality plastic film widely used in packaging, imaging, electronics, electrical and magnetic products in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”). The Company is a holding company incorporated in the Cayman Islands, established on August 9, 2004 under the Cayman Islands Companies Law as an exempted company with limited liability. The Company was established for the purpose of acquiring shares in Fuwei (BVI) Co., Ltd (“Fuwei (BVI)”), an intermediate holding company established for the purpose of acquiring all of the ownership interest in Fuwei Films (Shandong) Co., Ltd.

On April 23, 2009, Fuwei Films USA, LLC was set up and co-invested by Fuwei Films (Holdings) Co., Ltd. and Newell Finance Management Co., Ltd. Fuwei Films USA, LLC has a registered capital of US$10 and total investment amount of US$100. Fuwei Films (Holdings) Co., Ltd. and Newell Finance Management Co., Ltd. own 60% and 40% of the total shares of Fuwei Films USA, LLC, respectively.

On August 14, 2013, the Company announced that it had received the first notice from the its controlling shareholder, the Weifang State-owned Assets Operation Administration Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Weifang State-owned Asset Management and Supervision Committee (collectively, the “Administration Company”) indicating that the Administration Company had determined to place control over 6,912,503 (or 52.9%) of its outstanding ordinary shares up for sale at a public auction to be held in China. Four public auctions were held in Jinan, Shandong Province, China. The Company learned that they failed due to a lack of bidders registered for the auction. On March 25, 2014, the fifth public auction was held in Jinan, Shandong Province, China. The beneficial ownership of 6,912,503 ordinary shares of the Company previously owned by the Administration Company through Apex Glory Holdings Limited, a British Virgin Islands corporation, was bid by Shandong SNTON Optical Materials Technology Co., Ltd (“Shandong SNTON”) through the public auction. Shandong SNTON got 6,912,503 (or 52.9%) of the Company’s outstanding ordinary shares at a price of RMB101,800 (approximately US$16,573) or approximately US$2.40 per ordinary share.

On May 12, 2014, the Company announced that it had learned that the successful bidder, Shandong SNTON in the fifth public auction of 6,912,503 (or 52.9%) of the Company’s outstanding ordinary shares (the “Shares”) held on March 25, 2014, was entrusted by Hongkong Ruishang International Trade Co., Ltd., a Hong Kong corporation, (“Hongkong Ruishang”) to handle all the formalities and procedure in connection with the public auction. As a result of the entrusted arrangement, the Company believes Hongkong Ruishang is the party controlling the Shares acquired in the fifth public auction. According to publicly available information in the People’s Republic of China, Shandong SNTON is a wholly owned subsidiary of Shandong SNTON Group Co., Ltd. (the “SNTON Group”). Mr. Xiusheng Wang, the chairman of the Board of Directors of Shandong SNTON Group Co., Ltd., is also Hongkong Ruishang’s chairman.

(2) Basis of Presentation

The Group’s consolidated financial statements are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), as set forth in the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) and we consider the various staff accounting bulletins and other applicable guidance issued by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

This basis of accounting differs in certain material respects from that used in the preparation of the books of account of Shandong Fuwei, the Company’s principal subsidiary, which are prepared in accordance with the accounting principles and the relevant financial regulations applicable to enterprises limited by shares as established by the Ministry of Finance of the PRC (“PRC GAAP”), the accounting standards used in the country of its domicile. The accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect necessary adjustments not recorded in the books of account of the Company’s subsidiaries to present them in conformity with U.S. GAAP.

F-7

(3) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Practices

(a) Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its three subsidiaries, inluding, Fuwei Films (BVI) Co., Ltd., Fuwei Films (Shandong) Co., Ltd., and Fuwei Films USA, LLC. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

(b) Foreign Currency Transactions

The Group’s reporting currency is the Chinese Yuan (“Renminbi” or “RMB”).

The Company and Fuwei (BVI) operate in Hong Kong as investment holding companies and their financial records are maintained in Hong Kong dollars, being the functional currency of these two entities. Fuwei US company, a 60% owned subsidiary of the company, their financial records are maintained in US dollars. Assets and liabilities are translated into RMB at the exchange rates at the balance sheet date, equity accounts are translated at historical exchange rates and income, expenses, and cash flow items are translated using the average rate for the period. The translation adjustments are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income in the statements of equity.

Transactions denominated in currencies other than RMB are translated into RMB at the exchange rates quoted by the People’s Bank of China (the “PBOC”) prevailing at the dates of transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into RMB using the applicable exchange rates quoted by the PBOC at the balance sheet dates. The resulting exchange differences are recorded in the statements of operations.

Commencing from July 21, 2005, the PRC government moved the RMB into a managed floating exchange rate regime based on market supply and demand with reference to a basket of currencies.

For the convenience of the readers, the RMB amounts for the year of 2015 included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements in our annual report has been translated into U.S. dollars at the rate of US$1.00 = RMB 6.4778, being the noon buy rate for U.S. dollars in effect on December 31, 2015 in the City of New York for cable transfer in RMB per U.S. dollar as certified for custom purposes by the Federal Reserve Bank. No representation is made that the RMB amounts could have been, or could be, converted into U.S. dollar at that rate or at any other certain rate on December 31, 2015, or at any other date.

RMB is not fully convertible into foreign currencies. All foreign exchange transactions involving RMB must take place either through the PBOC or other institutions authorized to buy and sell foreign currency. The exchange rate adopted for the foreign exchange transactions are the rates of exchange quoted by the PBOC which are determined largely by supply and demand.

(c) Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash

For statements of cash flow purposes, the Company considers all cash on hand and in banks, including certificates of deposit and other highly-liquid investments with maturities of three months or less, when purchased, to be cash and cash equivalents.

As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, there were cash and cash equivalents of RMB14,355 (US$2,216) and RMB9,020, respectively.

As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, there were restricted cash of RMB43,215 (US$6,671) and RMB48,085, respectively, as deposit in bank for letters of credit and banker’s acceptance bill.

(d) Trade Accounts Receivable

Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount after deduction of trade discounts, value added taxes and allowances, if any, and do not bear interest. The allowance for doubtful accounts is the Group’s best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in the Group’s existing accounts receivable. The Group determines the allowance based on historical write-off experience, customer specific facts and economic conditions.

The Group reviews its allowance for doubtful accounts monthly. Past due balances over 90 days and over a specified amount are reviewed individually for collectibility. All other balances are reviewed on a pooled basis by aging of such balances. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. The allowance for doubtful accounts as of December 31, 2015 was RMB747 (US$115) and RMB825, respectively.

(e) Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market value as of balance sheet date. Inventory valuation and cost-flow is determined using Moving Weighted Average Method basis. The Group estimates excess and slow moving inventory based upon assumptions of future demands and market conditions. If actual market conditions are less favorable than projected by management, additional inventory write-downs may be required. Cost of work in progress and finished goods comprises direct material, direct production cost and an allocated portion of production overheads based on normal operating capacity.

F-8

(f) Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and allowance for fixed assets impairment.

Depreciation on property, plant and equipment is calculated on the straight-line method (after taking into account their respective estimated residual values) over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:

		Years
Buildings and improvements		25 – 30
Plant and equipment		10 – 15
Computer equipment		5
Furniture and fixtures		5
Motor vehicles		5

Depreciation related to abnormal amounts from idle capacity is charged to administrative expenses for the period incurred. Total depreciations for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013 were RMB44,515 (US$6,872), RMB47,701 and RMB48,161 respectively, of which 56.5%, 85.4% and 86.7% was recorded in cost of goods sold and 43.5%, 14.6% and 13.3% was recorded in administrative and selling expenses, respectively.

Construction in progress represented capital expenditure in respect of the BOPET productions line. No depreciation is provided in respect of construction in progress.

(g) Leased Assets

An arrangement, comprising a transaction or a series of transactions, is or contains a lease if the Group determines that the arrangement conveys a right to use a specific asset or assets for an agreed period of time in return for a payment or a series of payments. Such a determination is made based on an evaluation of the substance of the arrangement and is regardless of whether the arrangement takes the legal form of a lease.

Classification of assets leased to the Group. Assets that are held by the Group under leases which transfer to the Group substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as being held under capital leases. Leases which do not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the Group are classified as operating leases.

Assets acquired under capital leases. Where the Group acquires the use of assets under capital leases, the amounts representing the fair value of the leased asset, or, if lower, the present value of the minimum lease payments, of such assets are included in property, plant and equipment and the corresponding liabilities, net of finance charges, are recorded as obligations under capital leases. Depreciation is provided at rates which write off the cost or valuation of the assets over the term of the relevant lease or, where it is likely the Group will obtain ownership of the asset, the life of the asset. Finance charges implicit in the lease payments are charged to the consolidated income statement over the period of the leases so as to produce an approximately constant periodic rate of charge on the remaining balance of the obligations for each accounting period. Contingent rentals are charged to the consolidated income statement in the accounting period in which they are incurred.

Operating lease charges. Where the Group has the use of assets held under operating leases, payments made under the leases are charged to the consolidated income statement in equal installments over the accounting periods covered by the lease term, except where an alternative basis is more representative of the pattern of benefits to be derived from the leased asset. Lease incentives received are recognized in the consolidated income statement as an integral part of the aggregate net lease payments made. Contingent rentals are charged to the consolidated income statement in the accounting period in which they are incurred.

Sale and leaseback transactions. Gains or losses on equipment sale and leaseback transactions which result in capital leases are deferred and amortized over the terms of the related leases. Gains or losses on equipment sale and leaseback transactions which result in operating leases are recognized immediately if the transactions are established at fair value. Any loss on the sale perceived to be a real economic loss is recognized immediately. However, if a loss is compensated for by future rentals at a below-market price, then the artificial loss is deferred and amortized over the period that the equipment is expected to be used. If the sale price is above fair value, then any gain is deferred and amortized over the useful life of the assets.

(h) Lease Prepayments

Lease prepayments represent the costs of land use rights in the PRC. Land use rights are carried at cost and charged to expense on a straight-line basis over the respective periods of rights of 30 years. The current portion of lease prepayments has been included in prepayments and other receivables in the balance sheet.

F-9

(i) Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price and related costs over the value assigned to the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets of businesses acquired. Goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment annually, or when circumstances indicate a possible impairment may exist. Impairment testing is performed at a reporting unit level. An impairment loss generally would be recognized when the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit, with the fair value of the reporting unit determined using a discounted cash flow (DCF) analysis. A number of significant assumptions and estimates are involved in the application of the DCF analysis to forecast operating cash flows, including the discount rate, the internal rate of return, and projections of realizations and costs to produce. Management considers historical experience and all available information at the time the fair values of its reporting units are estimated. Goodwill was determined to be fully impaired during the year ended December 31, 2012.

(j) Impairment of Long-lived Assets

(k) Revenue Recognition

Sales of plastic flexible packaging materials are reported, net of value added taxes (“VAT”), sales returns, trade discounts. The standard terms and conditions under which the Group generally delivers allow a customer the right to return product for refund only if the product does not conform to product specifications; the non-conforming product is initially identified by customer, and the customer notifies the Group about the situation. After receiving the Group’s permission, the non-conforming product may be returned for replacement or refund. The Group recognizes revenue when products are delivered and the customer takes ownership and assumes risk of loss, collection of the relevant receivable is probable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists and the sale price is fixed or determinable.

In the PRC, VAT of 17% on invoice amount is collected in respect of the sales of goods on behalf of tax authorities. The VAT collected is not revenue of the Group; instead, the amount is recorded as a liability on the consolidated balance sheet until such VAT is paid to the authorities.

(l) Research and Development Costs

Research and development expenditures are expensed as incurred. Research and development costs amounted to RMB3,619 (US$559), RMB8,005 and RMB10,906 for the year ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013 and such costs were recorded in administrative expenses.

(m) Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Under guidance contained in FASB ASC 740-10, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. We follow the recognition and disclosure provisions under guidance contained in FASB ASC 740-10-25. Under this guidance, tax positions are evaluated for recognition using a more-likely-than-not threshold, and those tax positions requiring recognition are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement with a taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information. We only recognized deferred tax assets for the loss of 2015 after considering the possibility of realizing the benefits under the conservatism principle.

F-10

(n) Loss per Share

Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net earnings (loss) by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net earnings (loss) by the weighted average number of ordinary and dilutive potential ordinary shares outstanding during the year. Diluted potential ordinary shares consist of shares issuable pursuant to stock option plan.

(o) Use of Estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management of the Group to make a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. On an ongoing basis, management reviews its estimates and assumptions including those related to the recoverability of the carrying amount and the estimated useful lives of long-lived assets, valuation allowances for accounts receivable and realizable values for inventories. Changes in facts and circumstances may result in revised estimates.

(p) Noncontrolling interest

Non-controlling interest represents the portion of equity that is not attributable to the Company. The net income (loss) attributable to non-controlling interests are separately presented in the accompanying statements of income and other comprehensive income. Losses attributable to non-controlling interests in a subsidiary may exceed the interest in the subsidiary’s equity. The related non-controlling interest continues to be attributed its share of losses even if that attribution results in a deficit of the non-controlling interest balance. The non-contolling interest % of entity Fuwei USA was 40%, with the deficit amount of RMB(834) (-US$129) and RMB(794), respectively.

(q) Segment Reporting

The Group uses the “management approach” in determining reportable operating segments. The management approach considers the internal organization and reporting used by the Group’s chief operating decision maker for making operating decisions and assessing performance as the source for determining the Group’s reportable segments. Management, including the chief operating decision maker, reviews operating results solely by monthly revenue of BOPET film (but not by sub-product type or geographic area) and operating results of Shandong Fuwei, the operating subsidiary in the PRC. As such, the Group has determined that the Group has a single operating segment.

(r) Contingencies

In the normal course of business, the Group is subject to contingencies, including legal proceedings and claims arising out of the business that relate to a wide range of matters, including among others, product liability. The Group recognizes a liability for such contingency if it determines it is probable that a loss has occurred and a reasonable estimate of the loss can be made. The Group may consider many factors in making these assessments including past history and the specifics of each matter.

(s) Reclassification

Certain reclassifications have been made to the fiscal year 2015 and 2014 consolidated financial statements to conform to the fiscal 2015 consolidated financial statement presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on net loss or cash flows as previously reported.

(t) Going Concern Matters

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles which contemplate continuation of the company as a going concern. However, as of December 31, 2015, the Company had a working capital deficiency of RMB151,599 (US$23,403) and accumulated deficit of RMB69,068 (US$10,662) from net losses incurred during the year of 2015. Confronted with the fierce competition in the BOPET industry in China, the Company may still witness losses over the next twelve months. The ability of the Company to operate as a going concern depends upon its ability to obtain outside sources of working capital and/or generate positive cash flow from operations. The Company may not have sufficient working capital to meet its planned operating activities over the next twelve months. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans regarding these matters are described as per follows: The Company accordingly has developed an outside financing plan to meet the need of working capital for our operation or debts. At the same time, the Company will continue implementing cost reductions on both manufacturing costs and operating expenses to improve profit margins. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

F-11

(u) Recently Issued Accounting Standards

Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs: In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03-Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs. This standard amends existing guidance to require the presentation of debt issuance costs in the balance sheet as a deduction from the carrying amount of the related debt liability instead of a deferred charge. It is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015, but early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that the adoption of this standard will have on its financial statements.

Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis: In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-02, “Consolidation (Topic 810) — Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis.” ASU No. 2015-02 eliminates the deferral of the requirements of ASU No. 2009-17, “Consolidations (Topic 810) — Improvements to Financial Reporting by Enterprises Involved with Variable Interest Entities” for certain interests in investment funds and provides a scope exception from Topic 810 for certain investments in money market funds. The ASU also makes several modifications to the consolidation guidance for VIEs and general partners’ investments in limited partnerships, as well as modifications to the evaluation of whether limited partnerships are VIEs or voting interest entities. ASU No. 2015-02 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that the adoption of this standard will have on its financial statements.

Stock Based Compensation: In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-12 (ASU 2014-12), Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period. ASU No. 2014-12 requires that a performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period should be treated as a performance condition. A reporting entity should apply existing guidance in Topic 718 as it relates to awards with performance conditions that affect vesting to account for such awards. As such, the performance target should not be reflected in estimating the grant-date fair value of the award. ASU 2014-12 is effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Earlier adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that the adoption of this standard will have on its financial statements.

(9) Advance to suppliers

Historically, we have significant working capital commitments because suppliers of PET resin and additives -based raw materials require us to make prepayments in advance of shipment. Besides, we may make prepayments related to some equipment purchases based on arrangement of contract. Our prepayments to suppliers were recorded either as advances to suppliers, if they are expected to be utilized within 12 months as of balance sheet date, or as long-term prepayments, which was included in the line item “advance to suppliers –long term” in our consolidated balance sheet, if they represented the portion expected to be utilized after 12 months. As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, the current portion of advance to suppliers was RMB5,640 (US$871) and RMB7,512, respectively. The noncurrent portion of advance to suppliers was RMB1,440 (US$222) and RMB722, respectively.

(10) Long-term Deposit

On January 20, 2008, Shandong Fuwei signed a “Letter of Intent of Joyinn Capital Increase and Share Expansion” (“LOI”) with Joyinn Hotel Investment & Management Co., Ltd. (“Joyinn”) and the Shareholder of Joyinn. Joyinn is a legal company of limited liability that registered on May 19, 2006 in Beijing, with registered capital of RMB50,000 (US$6,236).

According to the LOI, Shandong Fuwei deposited RMB 26,000 (half of the would-be added register capital of RMB52,000), to Joyinn as the prepayment as of June 30, 2008. The prepayment to Joyinn will be regarded as investment payment after all parties enter into the final capital increase and shares expansion agreement during the effective term of this LOI. A share pledging agreement was entered into subsequently on April 9, 2008 between Shandong Fuwei and Shandong Xinmeng Investment Co., Ltd (“Pledger”), which holds 97.6% shares of Joyinn. The Pledger agreed to pledge its 52% interest in Joyinn, as a guarantee to the prepayment on the newly increased register capital made by Shandong Fuwei to Joyinn. Based on the mutual supplementary agreement signed in June 2008, the prepayment was decreased by RMB5,000 and returned to the Company on June 18, 2008.

On June 23, 2009, Shandong Fuwei and the Pledger, the major shareholder of Joyinn, agreed that the Pledger would pledge another 19% of its interest in Joyinn in addition to the previous pledge of 52% interest in Joyinn as a guarantee to the prepayment on the newly increased register capital made by Shandong Fuwei to Joyinn. As a result, the Pledger’s percentage of pledged interest in Joyinn increased from 52% to 71%. In the year 2010, the Company impaired the deposit amount by RMB4,240 (US$681). The impairment was determined based on an independent appraisal study.

On July 14, 2009, Shandong Fuwei and Joyinn signed “Supplementary Agreement of Letter of Intent of Joyinn Capital Increase and Share Expansion” which extends the duration of former agreement to two (2) years that is, Fuwei has the option right to determine to continue or withdraw the investment prior to January 14, 2010, the expiration date of the agreement.

Upon the expiration of the Supplementary Agreement on January 14, 2010, Shandong Fuwei and the Pledger entered into an agreement pursuant to which the Pledger agreed to transfer a 71% interest in Joyinn to Shandong Fuwei. The transaction is subject to the approval of the authority body of both parties.

On March 9, 2012, Shandong Fuwei and the Pledger agreed that prior to the approval of the foregoing share transfer, all the related agreements and share pledge terms and conditions will remain in full force and effect.

The Pledger’s percentage of Joyinn was transferred to Weifang State-Owned Assets Operation Administration Company (the “Administration Company”) according to the court order. On December 10, 2012, Shandong Fuwei entered into a Share Pledge Agreement with the major shareholder of Joyinn – the Administration Company, in which the Administration Company agreed all the terms and conditions in LOI and its Supplementary Agreement. The Administration Company, as the new Pledger, agreed to increase the pledged interest by 71% to 87.8%.

F-14

On January 12, 2015, Shandong Fuwei received a notice issued by the Administration Company and Joyinn stating that all the agreements previously entered into by the relevant parties have been terminated. Joyinn agreed to return RMB21,000 to Shandong Fuwei which was a prepayment of capital increase invested by Shandong Fuwei and Shandong Fuwei agreed to handle the relevant procedures with respect to terminating the related share pledge agreement upon receipt of such prepayment. Upon consideration, the Board of Directors of Fuwei Films approved to carry out the procedures as stipulated by the notice. On January 22, 2015, Shandong Fuwei received the refund of RMB21,000 from Joyinn.

As of December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 the total amount of the deposit was zero and RMB16,760, respectively.

(11) Other assets

Other assets represent loss on sale-leaseback arrangement with International Far Eastern Leasing Co., Ltd. The loss is treated as compensation for the future rentals paid by Shandong Fuwei at a below-market price. The artificial loss should be deferred and amortized in proportion to the amortization of the related leased assets. As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, the total amount of the other assets was RMB11,607 (US$1,792) and RMB12,500, respectively.

The principal amounts of the above long-term loans are repayable at the end of the loan period.

On November 20, 2009, we signed a long-term loan agreement of RMB10,000 (US$1,612) with Weifang Dongfang State-owned Assets Management Co., Ltd., with an eight-year loan term, which became effective on October 19, 2009 and will expire on October 18, 2017. From 2015 to 2016, the Company will make principal installment payments of RMB3,350 (US$540) per year with the remaining principal balance of RMB3,300 (US$532) due in 2017. The annual interest rate for the loan is the benchmark interest rate for over five-year loans announced by the People’s Bank of China reduced by 10% and the applicable annual interest rate for the period ended December 31, 2015 is 4.41%. The loan is guaranteed by Shandong Deqin Investment& Guarantee Co., Ltd. and is used for our projects.

In April 2014, the Company obtained a loan for a total amount of RMB105,000 from Shandong SNTON Optical Materials Technology Co., Ltd (“Shandong SNTON”) to pay off five short-term loans to Bank of Communications Co., Ltd. In May, 2014 and 2015, we obtained loans for the amount of RMB15,000 and RMB10,000 from SNTON Group solely for the purpose of purchasing raw materials. The interest rate of both loans shall be calculated at the benchmark rate, plus an additional 20% of the said benchmark rate, for the loan of the same term announced by the People’s Bank of China which was exactly the same interest rate calculation method when we paid off the loans to Bank of Communications.

(16) Revenues

The Company’s revenue is primarily derived from the manufacture and sale of plastic flexible packaging materials.

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015, net revenues were RMB248,862 (US$38,418), compared to RMB284,464 during the same period in 2014, representing a decrease of RMB35,602 or 12.5%, mainly due to the reduction of average sales price by 13.5% caused by the decrease in the price of main raw materials. For further analysis of the factors causing revenue decrease, the reduction of average sales price caused a decrease of RMB38,826 and sales volume factor made an increase of RMB3,224.

The following table shows the distribution of the Company’s revenue by the geographical location of customers, whereas all the Company’s assets are located in the PRC:

	December 31, 2015				December 31, 2014		December 31, 2013

		248,862		38,418		284,464		304,950

Overseas sales were RMB54,636 (US$8,434,) or 22.0% of total revenues, compared with RMB43,018 or 15.1% of total revenues in 2014. The increase in overseas sales was mainly due to the increased sales volume.

In 2015, sales of specialty films were RMB73,851 (US$11,400) and 29.7% of our total revenues as compared to RMB79,609 and 28.0% in 2014, which was a decrease of RMB5,758, or 7.2%, as compared to the same period in 2014. The decrease was largely attributable to the reduction in sales price for dry films and coated films due to the entrances of new competitors..

Interest expense in 2015 was lower than that in 2014, which was mainly due to lower interest rate.

(20) Income Taxes

Cayman Islands Tax

Under the current Cayman Island laws, the Company is not subject to tax on income or capital gain. In addition, upon payments of dividends by the Company to its shareholders, no Cayman Islands withholding tax is imposed.

PRC Tax

Shandong Fuwei, being a Hi-Tech Enterprise in the Weifang Hi-Tech Industrial Zone in Shandong, the PRC, has been granted preferential tax treatments by the Tax Bureau of the PRC. According to the PRC Income Tax Law and various approval documents issued by the Tax Bureau, Shandong Fuwei’s profit was taxed at a rate of 15%. In 2014, Fuwei Films failed to be designated as a Hi-Tech Enterprise and it became subject to a standard enterprise income tax at a rate of 25% in 2014 and 2015.

If our subsidiary Shandong Fuwei was not entitled to a reduced enterprise income tax, or EIT, rate of 15% for the year ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, it would have had an EIT rate of 25%, net income and basic and diluted earnings per share would be reduced by the following amounts:

The Company has no material unrecognized tax benefit which would favorably affect the income taxes in future periods and does not believe there will be any significant increases or decreases within the next twelve months. No interest or penalties have been accrued at the date of adoption. As of December 31, 2015, we do not have any accrued liability for uncertain tax positions.

Shandong Fuwei was designated as a High-and-New Tech Enterprise in December 2008 and retained its status as a high-tech enterprise for three years commencing from 2011 enjoying a favorable corporate tax rate during the term from January 1, 2011 to December 31, 2013 pursuant to the Enterprise Income Tax Law. In 2014, Fuwei Films failed to be designated as High-and-New Tech Enterprise. Accordingly, the deferred taxes as of December 31, 2015 have been calculated employing the statutory rate of Shandong Fuwei of 25%.

Income tax benefit (expense) consists of:

Net deferred income tax assets		11,551			1,783			18,551

In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Considering the level of historical performance of Shandong Fuwei, we only recognized deferred tax assets for the loss of 2015 after considering the possibility of realizing the benefits under the conservatism principle.

The Group has no other obligation to make payments in respect of retirement benefits of the employees.

(23) Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Our accounting for Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures, defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. This topic also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires classification based on observable and unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The fair value hierarchy distinguishes between assumptions based on market data (observable inputs) and an entity’s own assumptions (unobservable inputs). The hierarchy consists of three levels:

Level one — Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level two — Inputs other than level one inputs that are either directly or indirectly observable; and

Level three — Unobservable inputs developed using estimates and assumptions, which are developed by the reporting entity and reflect those assumptions that a market participant would use.

Determining which category an asset or liability falls within the hierarchy requires significant judgment. The Company evaluates its hierarchy disclosures each quarter. The measurement basis used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements is the historical cost basis except that the following assets and liabilities are stated at their fair value, such as derivative financial instruments and available-for-sale equity securities. The Company had no assets and liabilities measured at fair value on December 31, 2015.

The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable, prepayments and other receivables, amounts due from related parties, amounts due to related parties, and accrued liabilities and other payables, approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments.

The carrying amount of bank loans approximate the fair value based on the borrowing rates currently available for bank loans with similar terms and maturity.

The Group believes that there are a limited number of suppliers in the PRC with the ability to consistently supply PET resin that meets the Group’s quality standards and requirements. Currently, the Group has an annual supply agreement with Sinopec Yizheng pursuant to which Sinopec Yizheng has agreed to supply fixed quantities of PET resin to the Group on a monthly basis at the prevailing market prices. The terms of such supply agreement are reviewed annually. Although the Group believes that it maintains a good relationship with its major suppliers, there can be no assurance that Sinopec Yizheng will continue to sell to the Group under normal commercial terms as and when needed.

The following are the vendors that supplied 10% or more of our raw materials for each of the year ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013:

(d) Legal Proceedings

From time to time, we may be subject to legal actions and other claims arising in the ordinary course of business. Shandong Fuwei is currently a party to three legal proceedings in China.

On July 9, 2012, a client filed a lawsuit in Beijing Daxing District People’s Court against Shandong Fuwei claiming RMB953 plus interest over disputes arising from a Procurement Contract between the parties. Shandong Fuwei raised a jurisdictional objection upon filing its plea, and Beijing Daxing District People’s Court overruled the objection. Shandong Fuwei filed an appeal against the judgment in the First Intermediate People’s Court of Beijing. The appeal was dismissed on January 23, 2013. On May 15, 2013, Beijing Daxing District People’s Court heard the case and adjourned the hearing due to the fact that plaintiff failed to provide sufficient evidence. On June 25, 2013, the case was heard in Beijing Daxing District People’s Court again and it was further adjourned due to plaintiff’s failure to provide sufficient evidence. The case was then scheduled to be heard on August 7, 2013. However, on the day prior to re-scheduled hearing, Shandong Fuwei was informed by Beijing Daxing District People’s Court that the hearing was adjourned further for the same reason that plaintiff failed to provide sufficient evidence. On April 21, 2014, the case was heard, and the plaintiff failed to provide sufficient evidence and the hearing was further adjourned. On May 28, 2014, the case was heard and the plaintiff provided some evidence. On August 25, 2014, the case was heard again. On November 5, 2014, the court accepted the withdrawal application from the plaintiff. On November 26, 2014, the plaintiff filed a second lawsuit in Beijing Daxing District People’s Court against Shandong Fuwei over disputes arising from the Procurement Contract between the parties claiming RMB618 plus interest as a result of non- payment. The case was heard on January 26, 2015, where the two parties testified over the relevant evidence. The case was heard on March 3, 2015 and October 26, 2015. To date, the case has not been decided. We are unable to predict the outcome of this lawsuit and therefore cannot determine the likelihood of loss nor estimate a range of possible loss.

On January 21, 2014, Shandong Fuwei received a complaint from Zeng Wenhong, a Hong Kong citizen, plaintiff against Shandong Fuwei with a claim for a refund of US$500 (approximately RMB4,138) and related interest of RMB2,332. The plaintiff alleged that Shandong Fuwei has agreed to sell to the plaintiff ordinary shares of the Company pursuant to an oral agreement between the plaintiff and Shandong Fuwei in June 2005, and as a result the plaintiff transferred US$500 to Wellplus Investments (Hong Kong) Limited to be used for acquiring the ordinary shares of the Company. However, the plaintiff never received such shares. The case was heard by the Intermediate People's Court of Weifang on April 3, 2014. On October 28, 2014, the case was heard again and the plaintiff submitted additional evidence. On September 25, 2015, Shandong Fuwei received a written judgment issued by the Intermediate People’s Court of Weifang ordering Shandong Fuwei to refundUS$500 and its interest to the plaintiff. Shandong Fuwei has filed an appeal to the High People’s Court’s of Weifang within the appeal period. We are unable to predict the outcome of this lawsuit and therefore cannot determine the likelihood of loss nor estimate a range of possible loss.

On June 28, 2014, an equipment supplier filed a lawsuit in Weifang High-Tech District People’s Court against Shandong Fuwei over disputes arising from a Procurement Contract between the parties with a claim for RMB844 plus interest of RMB134. The case has been settled between the two parties. Pursuant to the terms of the settlement, Shandong Fuwei shall pay the plaintiff RMB750 through bank acceptance note prior to February 7, 2015. The remaining balance of RMB94 shall be paid within two days of reaching resolution on the eight remaining disputes between the two parties. Thereafter, neither party will bear any further liability. To date, Shandong Fuwei has made a payment to the plaintiff in the amount of RMB750. The remaining disputes arising from the Procurement Contract are in the process of being resolved.

(27) Fuwei Films (Holdings) Co., Ltd (Parent Company)

Under PRC regulations, the Company’s operating subsidiary, Shandong Fuwei may pay dividends only out of its accumulated profits, if any, determined in accordance with the accounting standards and regulations prevailing in the PRC (“PRC GAAP”). In addition, Shandong Fuwei is required to set aside at least 10% of its accumulated profits each year, if any, to fund the statutory general reserve until the balance of the reserve reaches 50% of its registered capital. The statutory general reserve is not distributable in the form of cash dividends to the Company and can be used to make up cumulative prior year losses, if any, and may be converted into share capital by the issue of new shares to shareholders in proportion to their existing shareholdings, or by increasing the par value of the shares currently held by them, provided that the reserve balance after such issue is not less than 25% of the registered capital. Further, Shandong Fuwei is also required to allocate 5% of the profit after tax, determined in accordance with PRC GAAP, to the statutory public welfare fund which is restricted to be used for capital expenditures for staff welfare facilities owned by the Company. The statutory public welfare fund is not available for distribution to equity owners (except in liquidation) and may not be transferred in the form of loans, advances, or cash dividends. As of December 31, 2015, an aggregate amount of RMB37,441 (US$5,780) has been appropriated from retained earnings and set aside for statutory general reserve and public welfare fund, by Shandong Fuwei.

As of December 31, 2015, the amount of restricted assets of Shandong Fuwei, which may not be transferred to the Company in the form of loans, advances or cash dividends by the subsidiaries without the consent of a third party, was approximately 57.9% of the Company’s consolidated total assets as discussed above. In addition, the current foreign exchange control policies applicable in the PRC also restrict the transfer of assets or dividends outside the PRC.
