Third Quarter 2020
In our third quarter 2020, our revenues increased by 130% to $10,482,185 from $4,548,542 on a year-to-year basis. We had 4 bromine and crude salt factories in operation for the entire quarter versus 2 in the previous year. On a sequential basis, revenues increased by 96% as our factories ramped up production. The Company reported a loss from operations of ($2,912,581) compared to a loss of $(13,029,028) in the previous year and loss of ($2,244,619) in the second quarter of 2020.
The Company sustained an operating loss on its chemical factory, which is under construction, and its natural gas project, which is temporarily halted. The Company also incurred significant expenses including depreciation and amortization as well as salaries related to the remaining three closed bromine and crude salt factories.
Nine Months 2020
For the 9 months ended Sept. 30, 2020, revenues increased by 54.8% to $16,399,338 from $10,596,521 in the same period of 2019. Cost of net revenue was $12,694,271 or 77.4% vs. $5,430,269 or 51.2% year over year. The primary factors contributing to the lower margins were the lower price of bromine in 2020 coupled with additional direct costs and depreciation and amortization of the newly opened factories. Direct labor and factory overheads incurred during plant shutdown declined to $6,886,215 in the current period from $10,653,690 in the same period in the previous year reflecting the higher number of factories in operation. The loss from operations was $10,522,799 in the current period versus $13,690,605 in the same period in the previous year. The net loss was $8,696,959 in the current period compared to $18,670,871 in the same period in previous year. The net loss per share was ($0.91) in the current period compared to a loss of ($1.98) in the same period in previous year.

Balance sheet
Despite of facility closure and expenditures on new factories, new wells, and new salt ponds, as well as our new chemical factory, we believe our balance sheet remains very strong.
At the end of the third quarter, cash was $95,623,812 ($9.56* per share based on 9,997,477 shares.). Current assets were $104,682,870 ($10.47* per share). Working capital was $99,779,071 ($9.98* per share). Net cash (cash minus all liabilities) was $81,314,429 ($8.13 *per share), Book value per share was $263,587,240 ($26.37* per share).
The Company believes that assets are strong and that we do not need any write-downs for impairments. The Company also believes that we have enough cash to finish all our construction and build our business. We currently expect to eventually earn a strong return on our book value.
Cash Flow
The Company had a significant improvement in cash flow in 2020. For the 9 months in 2020, we had positive cash flow from operations of $3,258,010 compared to a loss from operation deficit of $12,320,640 in the previous year. We spent $9,860,142 on property plant & equipment compared to an expenditure of $57,317,368 in the previous year.
Segment Results
Bromine and Crude SaltIn the third quarter of 2020, on a year to year basis, revenues from our four operating bromine and crude salt factories increased to $10,482,185 from $4,548,542, an increase of 130%. More significantly, on a quarter-to-quarter basis, our revenues increased by 96%, reflecting the progress we have made in ramping up of our four factories.
In the third quarter, bromine revenues were $9,181,747 compared to $4,270,863 in the previous year, an increase of 115%. On a sequential basis, they increased by 105% compared to the second quarter of 2020. During the quarter, we sold 2,301 tonnes of bromine, compared to 1,222 tonnes in the 2nd quarter and 1,022 tonnes in the same quarter of the previous year. During the quarter, the average price of bromine declined to $3,989.88, an increase of 9.1% compared to the previous quarter and a decrease of 4.4% compared to the same quarter of 2019.
The bromine business had an operating profit of $1,962,262 compared to a loss of $5,185,484 in the same quarter of the previous year and a loss of $1,479,084 in the second quarter of 2020. Management is pleased with the progress it is making in its bromine business.
The price of bromine trends upward. In July 2020, it was 26,650 RMB per tonne. By the end of August 2020, it reached over RMB 29,000 per tonne. By the end of September 2020, it was above RMB 30,000 per tonne. On Nov.12, 2020, it reached RMB 32,278 per tonne. The upward trends in bromine price may augers well for company future revenue.

In the third quarter, crude salt revenues increased to $1,300,438 from $277,679 in the same period of the previous year, an increase of 368%. On a sequential basis, crude salt revenues increased by 49% compared to the second quarter of 2020. The crude salt business loss was $484,278 in the quarter compared to a loss of $1,001,988 in the same quarter of the previous year and loss of $611,472 in the second quarter of 2020.
Factories #2,#8, and #10We are still waiting for governmental approval for factories #2, #8, and #10. To our knowledge, the government is currently completing its planning process for all mining areas including that for prevention of flood. As a result, we may be required to make some modifications to our current wells and aqueducts prior to commencement of operations of these factories to satisfy the local government's requirements. Nevertheless, the Company expects to receive approvals for these factories by the first half of 2021.
Chemicals
The Company commenced production on its new chemical facilities located at Bohai Marine Fine Chemical Industrial Park in June 2020. There are three major structures in this complex and all are currently under construction. The construction is expected to take approximately one year, and an additional six months to complete the equipment installation and testing. The Company expects to begin trial production at the beginning of 2022. The entire facility is expected to cost approximately $60 million. By the end of the third quarter 2020, the Company had spent $18.5 million (comprising land lease payments, professional fees related to the design of the factory and progress payment of the construction costs of the factory building) of the budget.
Management expects a strong return from this investment. In the previous two years before the shutdown for rectification, our chemical business had income from operation before corporate cost of approximately $25.5 million in year 2016 and $33.0 million in year 2015, respectively. While this new factory will be smaller than the combined two old factories, the Company expects it to make higher net profit margin as we plan to focus more on the higher margin pharmaceutical intermediate products. We are optimistic by the progress we are making on constructing our new factories. Management expects to post photos on its website each quarter so investors can track the progress of the construction of the chemical factories.
Natural Gas
We continue to be encouraged by the opportunities to produce natural gas and brine products in Sichuan Province. As disclosed previously, Petro-China’s discovery of natural gas in Tianbao Town is close to our current natural gas well. We believe this discovery could have material positive impact on the Company and may open significant opportunities for us. The Company believes that the government will more focus on finalizing the planning for exploration and exploitation of mineral resources in this area.
In addition, the Company plans to proceed with its applications for the natural gas and brine project approvals with related government departments after the government has finalized the land and resources planning for Sichuan Province.
Management Commentary
“We are very pleased to have our operating businesses generating a strong profit,” stated Liu Xiaobin, the CEO of Gulf Resources. “With the price of bromine increasing sharply, we should have a strong fourth quarter. We believe we are not far from returning to profitability and positive cash flow. We are also confident that we will receive approvals on our remaining three factories.”

“The construction of our chemical factories is on schedule,” Mr. Liu continued. “And it may take six months to install and test our new modern equipment, we believe our chemical factories will have higher net profit margin.” Mr. Liu continued. “With Petro-China making one of the largest natural gas discoveries in Chinese history in the same rural town as our current well situates, we continue to be optimistic about the opportunities in natural gas.”
“Now that we have some visibility,” Mr. Liu concluded, “we will endeavor to improve our communications with our investors. We will continue updating our company website. We expect to also provide projections on revenues and profits once all of our businesses have returned to full operation. We appreciate the patience of our shareholders and believe we will continue to show significantly improved results.”
