Annual revenues of the company totaled 6.03 billion yuan, down 21.76 percent year-on-year for 2009, while total assets increased 10.47 percent to total 19.5 billion yuan, according to the report.

In the report, the company attributed the profit dive to the financial crisis which reduced prices of chemicals, as well as to the high running costs of its two newly-founded subsidiaries, Tianan and Tianteng.
