Excluding approximately $1.3 million of non-cash stock compensation expenses and $1.7 million of legal expenses related to the independent investigation, operating income and operating margin in the first six months of 2011 were $9.0 million and 3.0%, respectively.

Business Updates
The Company has issued a shareholder letter from the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Chungfeng Tao on the investor relations section of its website. Interested parties can access the shareholder letter by clicking on the link below: http://ir.stockpr.com/keyuanpetrochemicals/presentation
By the end of September, 2011, the Company completed construction of its new 70,000 MT Styrene-Butadiene-Styrene (“SBS”) production facility. Demands for SBS have been driven by strong growth in basic materials such as tires, rubbers and other industrial applications. The facility is currently under trial production for the next couple months to assure quality control with expected commercial production launching by year end 2011. Management expects to generate between $100 and $110 million in net revenues from SBS in 2012 with a net income between $10 and $11 million. Pictures of the new SBS facility can be viewed at the following link: http://www.keyuanpetrochemicals.com/our-company/sbs-facility.
Dividend Update
The Company’s Board of Directors voted to suspend the payment of quarterly cash dividends on common stock while it pursues strategic alternatives including, but not limited to, taking the Company private, a merger or other transaction.
