although our ownership interest in each of our china acetate ventures exceeds 20% ( 20 % ) , we account for these investments using the cost method of accounting because we determined that we cannot exercise significant influence over these entities due to local government investment in and influence over these entities , limitations on our involvement in the day-to-day operations and the present inability of the entities to provide timely financial information prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the united states ( 201cus gaap 201d ) .
