Inventories increased by 19.7% to meet anticipated demand in the coming quarters, especially from customers located in more distant regions as well as to stock up on raw materials at low price level. 

Short-term loans, including the current portion of long-term loans, increased by $61.3 million, or 61.5%, during the first quarter, primarily due to loans guaranteed by Investment Company affiliated with the local Government and overseas bank loans borrowed by the Company's Dubai subsidiary. The Company took on additional long-term bank loans of $31.2 million to support its expansion in Southwest China and Dubai.  Accounts payable increased by 43.8% as a result of more purchases made by the Company because of the lower purchase price of raw materials and the Company's strategy to stock up on inventory.  As of March 31, 2015, notes payable was $148.7 million, due to the issuance of 11.75% guaranteed senior notes due in 2019.

Business Outlook and Guidance

Based on the Company's consideration for slowing demand throughout the Chinese automotive supply chain and uncertainty of the impact of volatile crude oil prices on polymer composite materials in 2015, the Company reiterates its guidance for 2015. The Company full-year sales to range between $960 million and $1.06 billion and net income to range between $100 million to $120 million.  This forecast assumes constant exchange rates and anticipated interest expense associated with both its long and short-term debt, and reflects the Company's current and preliminary view of its business outlook in fiscal 2015, which is subject to change based on then actual circumstances.
