Note 1 – Basis of presentation and significant concentrations and risks
 
(a) Basis of presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted as permitted by rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2018 was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements of China XD Plastics Company Limited ("China XD") and subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company"). The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of December 31, 2018, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the year then ended, included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on April 15, 2019.

In the opinion of the management, all adjustments (which include normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present a fair statement of the financial position as of March 31, 2019, the results of operations and cash flows for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, have been made.

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include the recoverability of the carrying amounts of property, plant and equipment, the realizability of inventories, the useful lives of property, plant and equipment, the collectability of accounts receivable, the accruals for tax uncertainties and other contingencies, and the discount rate used to determine the present value of the lease payments. The current economic environment has increased the degree of uncertainty inherent in those estimates and assumptions.

(b) Accounting pronouncement adopted in 2019

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) ("ASU 2016-02"). The new guidance requires the recognition of lease assets and liabilities for operating leases with terms of more than 12 months, in addition to those currently recorded, on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Presentation of leases within the consolidated statements of comprehensive income and consolidated statements of cash flows will be generally consistent with the current lease accounting guidance. The Company has adopted this ASU on January 1, 2019 using a modified retrospective approach by recognizing a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. This adoption approach resulted in a balance sheet presentation that was not be comparable to the prior period in the first year of adoption. Additionally, the Company used the package of practical expedients that allowed the Company to not reassess: (1) whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases, (2) lease classification for any expired or existing leases and (3) initial direct costs for any expired or existing leases. The Company also elected the hindsight practical expedient to determine the reasonably certain lease term for existing leases. The adoption of the standard resulted in recognition of right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities of approximately US$16.1 million and US$16.8 million, respectively, as of January 1, 2019. The difference between the initial operating right-of-use asset and operating lease liability of US$0.8 million was accrued rent previously recognized under ASC 840. There was no cumulative effect on retained earnings as of January 1, 2019 as a result of adoption.

In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-02, Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (“ASU 2018-02”). The new guidance allows a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and will improve the usefulness of information reported to financial statement users. The Company has adopted the standard on January 1, 2019, and there was no material impact on its consolidated financial statements as a result of the adoption.

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-07, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting (“ASU 2018-07”). The new guidance largely aligns the accounting for share-based awards issued to employees and nonemployees. Existing guidance for employee awards will apply to non-employee share-based transactions with limited exceptions. The new guidance also clarifies that any share based payment awards issued to customers should be evaluated under ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The Company has adopted the standard on January 1, 2019, and there was no material impact on its consolidated financial statements as a result of the adoption.
 
(c) Significant concentrations and risks

Sales concentration

The Company sells its products primarily through approved distributors in the People's Republic of China (the "PRC"). The Company's sales are highly concentrated. Sales to distributors individually exceeded 10% of the Company's revenues for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, are as follows:

The Company expects revenues from these distributors to continue to represent a substantial portion of its revenue in the future. Any factor adversely affecting the automobile industry in the PRC or the business operations of these customers will have a material effect on the Company's business, financial position and results of operations.

 
Purchase concentration of raw materials and equipment

The principal raw materials used for the Company's production of modified plastics products are plastic resins, such as polypropylene, ABS and nylon. The Company purchases substantially all of its raw materials through a limited number of distributors.  Raw material purchases from these distributors, which individually exceeded 10% of the Company's total raw material purchases, accounted for approximately 37.8% (three distributors) and 30.3% (three distributors), of the Company's total raw material purchases for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Management believes that other suppliers could provide similar raw materials on comparable terms. A change in suppliers, however, could cause a delay in manufacturing and a possible loss of sales, which would adversely affect the Company's business, financial position and results of operations.
