Thank you, operator, and good morning, everyone. Thanks for joining our fourth quarter and fiscal year 2016 earnings conference call. During 2016, slowing GDP growth trend and government’s heightened effort to combat pollution continue to take a toll on the paper industry. So we saw both revenues and a profit decreased slightly in 2016. As a result, our 4.3% year-over-year decrease in blended ASP that more than offset a 4% increase in overall sales volume. However, starting from the latter half of 2016, we see more stabilized order trends and upticks in prices for our paper products. This give us reasons to be cautiously optimistic for a gradual recovery in overall market condition in 2017. Now, I will turn the call over to our CFO, Ms. Jing Hao, who will review and comment on the fourth quarter and full-year financial results. Her comments will be delivered in English by my colleague Janice Wang [ph]. Janice, please go ahead.

Thanks, Tony, and thanks everyone for being on the call. Next, on behalf of the management team, I will summarize some key financial results for the fourth quarter of 2016. Also, I’ll occasionally refer to specific production lines associated with various products. I will make clear to which products I’m referring to.

Now, let’s look at our financial performance for the fourth quarter of 2016. Please turn to Slide #24.

Turning to Slide 24, for the year ended December 31, 2016, total revenue decreased 0.4% to $134.7 million was primarily due to decreases in sales of regular CMP and Offset Printing Paper, which were partially offset by increases in sales of tissue paper and digital photo paper product.

For the year ended December 31, 2016, SG&A expenses were $12.4 million compared to $9.7 million for the same period of last year.
