The Silan Microelectronics Co. Ltd., (600460), a Hangzhou-based integrated circuit and semiconductor products manufacturer whose stocks are included in the Morgan Stanly Capital International (MSCI) emerging market, released its audited semi-annual financial statements Wednesday, reporting a double-digit profit growth in the fiscal period.

The company generated a total of over RMB 1.43 billion in operating revenue during the first two quarters of 2018, a year-on-year increase of 10.7 percent. Its net profit also grew by 12.9 percent from the previous year to reach more than RMB 95.13 million by the end of June.

Although its total assets rose by 20.98 percent year-on-year over the first half of this year to RMB 7.56 billion, the company's net cash flow slumped by as much as 111.47 percent from the beginning of 2018.

The company's basic earnings per share (EPS) increased by 7.35 percent during the reporting period while its weighted average rate of return on equity lost 0.43 percentage point to RMB 2.92.

The company explained in its statements that its failure to reach its production goal for its eight-inch chip product led to a year-on-year decrease of 31.84 percent in its total profit during the reporting period.

What's more, due to the volatilities in China's LED market in the first half of this year, the company also saw a 2.5 percent decline in the sales of its integrated circuit products which are necessary components for LED products.

Nonetheless, the company expects a rebound in the sales of its integrated circuit products as the market demand for LED products is predicted to rise in the third quarter.
