  • (2) The aggregate consideration received from the transfer, and the accumulative amount of the changes of the fair value originally recorded in the owner's equities (in the event that the financial asset involved in the transfer is a financial asset available for sale).

If the transfer of partial financial asset satisfies the conditions for stopping recognition, the carrying amount of the entire financial asset transferred shall, between the portion whose recognition has stopped and the portion whose recognition has not stopped (under such circumstance, the service asset retained shall be deemed as a portion whose recognition has not stopped), be allocated at their respective relative fair value, and the difference between the amounts of the following 2 items:

  • (1) The book value of the portion whose recognition has stopped;
  • (2) The aggregate consideration of the portion whose recognition has stopped, and the portion of the accumulative amount of the changes in the fair value originally recorded in the owner's equities which is corresponding to the portion whose recognition has stopped (in the event that the financial asset involved in the transfer is a financial asset available for sale).

The Company shall recognize financial assets and recognize the reception of consideration as financial liabilities in case the transfer of these financial assets does not satisfy the criteria of termination.

4. Conditions for derecognizing financial liabilities

If the current obligations of financial liabilities has been lifted in whole or in part, then the Company shall derecognize the financial liabilities in whole or in part thereof; if the Company signs an agreement with creditors in order to take on new ways to replace the existing financial liabilities, and the new liabilities and the existing financial terms are substantially different, the Company shall terminate recognizing the existing financial liabilities, and begin to recognize the new financial liabilities at the same time.

If the terms of the contract involving the existing financial liabilities have been made with substantive changes in whole or in part, the Company shall terminate recognizing the existing financial liabilities in whole or in part, and at the same time, adopt the modified version of financial liabilities as a new one.

If buying back part of the financial liabilities, on the date of repurchase and in accordance with the comparative fair value of the part to be continuously recognized and to be derecognized, the Company shall allocate the entire financial liabilities. The difference between the part assigned to the derecognized book value and the payment (including the roll-out of non-cash assets or new financial liabilities to be assumed) shall be included into profits and losses of the current period.

5. Determination of fair value of financial assets and liabilities

The Company adopts the year-end quotations in active markets as fair value of financial assets and liabilities.

6. Depreciation reserves for financial assets (excluding accounts receivable)

(1) Depreciation reserves for financial assets available for sale:

At end of reporting period, the accumulated loss caused by the fair value decrease shall be reclassified from the original item of owners' equity and recognized as impairment loss in case the fair value of financial assets available for sale has decreased significantly or the decrease trend is considered to be non-temporary under all the related conditions.

(2) Depreciation reserves for held to maturity investments:

The impairment loss of held to maturity investments is calculated in the light of the treatment of accounts receivable's depreciation.

(10) Accounts receivable

    1. Recognition and accrual of accounts receivable with individual significance and individually provided for bad debts:
  • (1) Recognition criteria for provision for bad debt in accounts receivable of individually significant amounts:

Accounting for 10% or above (including 10%) of the total accounts receivables except the Greencool receivables.

(2) Calculation of provision for bad debt in accounts receivable of individually significant amounts:

Where there is objective evidence of impairment, impairment test on an individual basis is conducted for the recognition of impairment loss and provision of bad debts based on the shortfall between the current value of its future cash flow and the book value. Where there is no impairment on an individual basis, bad debts are included in the group of receivables with similar credit risks to test for impairment.

(11) Inventories

1. Classification of inventories

Inventories are classified into: inventory products, goods in delivery, self-manufactured semi-finished products, construction in progress, raw materials, low-value consumables and material under external processing etc.

2. Inventory pricing method on their delivery

Raw materials are accounted in accordance with the standard cost upon delivery, and amortized at the end of the month according to cost differences in order to adjust the standard cost to actual cost.

Construction in progress is accounted in accordance with the actual cost upon delivery, whereas the actual cost is determined using the weighted average method.

3. Determination of net realizable value of inventories and accruement of stock depreciation delivery

The Company takes inventory checkup at end of each accounting period, and states or adjusts depreciation reserves of inventories at the lower of cost or net realizable value.

During normal production, the cash realizable value of inventories directly for sale, such as products, merchants and materials for sale is accounted according to the estimated price less the estimated sales expenses and taxes. During normal production, the cash realizable value of materials to be processed is accounted according to the estimated price of finished product less the estimated cost, sales expenses and taxes. For inventories with purpose of implementing sales contract or labor contract, the cash realizable value is based on the contract price; if the inventories held exceed the ordered amount specified in the contract, the cash realizable value of surplus part is accounted based on the market price.

At end of the reporting period, the Company accrues separately the provisions for depreciation reserves of the inventories. In case of low-cost and numerous-in-variety inventories, the Company classifies the provision for depreciation of each kind of inventories. And the Company consolidates the provision for depreciation of inventories related to the production and sales of products in the same region, with the same or similar utilization and purpose, and difficult to calculate separately.

In case the factors impacting the write-down of the inventories' value disappear, the write-down amount shall be reversed and the according provision of impairment shall be returned to current profits and losses.

4. Inventory system

The perpetual inventory system is adopted.

5. Amortization of transition materials

  • (1) One-off amortization is used for low-value consumables;
  • (2) One-off amortization is used for packaging materials.

(12) Long-term equity investments

1. Determination of investment costs

(1) Long-term equity investment arising from the combination of enterprises

For the combination of enterprises under the same control: if the consideration of the merging enterprise is in the form of payment in cash, transfer of non-cash assets or undertaking of debts, it shall, on the date of combination, regard the share of the book value of the owner's equity of the merged enterprise as the initial cost of the long-term equity investment. The difference between the initial cost of the long-term equity investment and the payment in cash, non-cash assets transferred as well as the book value of the debts borne by the merging party shall offset against the capital reserve. If the capital reserve is insufficient to dilute, the retained earnings shall be adjusted. All the directly related expenses, including audit fee, appraisal fee, legal services fee etc, shall be accounted into current profits and losses.

For combination under different control: the combination cost shall be accounted at the fair value of assets paid, liabilities carried and equity bonds issued by the merging party at the combination date, and other direct expenses related to the transaction. For the gradual combination realized by separate procedures, the combination cost shall be the sum of every separate transaction. In case of any future events defined in combination contract whose predictable occurrence could influence the combination cost and the related amount could be reliably calculated at combination date, such amount shall also be included in combination cost.

(2) Long-term equity investment acquired by other methods

The initial cost of a long-term equity investment obtained by making payment in cash shall be the purchase cost which is actually paid.

The initial cost of a long-term equity investment obtained on the basis of issuing equity securities shall be the fair value of the equity securities issued.

The initial cost of a long-term equity investment of an investor shall be the value stipulated in the investment contract or agreement except the unfair value stipulated in the contract or agreement.

Under the conditions that the exchange of non-monetary assets is characterized with business essence, and the fair value of the assets received or surrendered can be accounted in a reliable way, the book value of assets received is defined on basis of the fair value of assets surrendered, except there are conclusive evidences for the stronger reliability of the fair value of assets received. For the exchange of non-monetary assets not meeting the above premises, the book value of assets surrendered and related taxes shall be accounted as cost of assets received and the profits and losses shall not be concluded.

The initial cost of long-term equity investment obtained by recombination of liabilities shall be accounted at fair value.

2. Subsequent measurement and recognition of profits and losses

(1) Subsequent measurement

For a long term equity investment on the subsidiary company of an investing enterprise, the investing enterprise shall accounted by employing the cost method, and shall make an adjustment by employing the equity method when it works out consolidated financial statements.

The cost method shall be employed when a long-term equity investment of the investing enterprise that does not do joint control or does not have significant influences on the invested entity, and has no offer in the active market and its fair value cannot be reliably measured.

A long-term equity investment of the investing enterprise that does joint control or significant influences over the invested entity shall be measured by employing the equity method. If the initial cost of a long-term equity investment is more than the investing enterprise's attributable share of the fair value of the invested entity's identifiable net assets for the investment, the initial cost of the long-term equity investment may not be adjusted; if the initial cost of a long-term equity investment is lower than the investing enterprise' attributable share of the fair value of the invested entity's identifiable net assets for the investment, the difference shall be included in the current profits and losses and the cost of the long-term equity investment shall be adjusted at the same time.

Where any change is made to the owner's equity other than the net profits and losses of the invested entity, the book value of the long-term equity investment shall be adjusted and be included in the owner's equity, and the capital reserves (other capital reserves) shall be accordingly adjusted, in accordance with the attributable share of the net profits or losses of the invested entity.

(2) Recognition of profits and losses

Under the cost method, the investment income recognized by the investing enterprise shall be limited to the amount received from the accumulative net profits that arise after the invested entity has accepted the investment. Where the amount of profits or cash dividends obtained by the investing entity exceeds the aforesaid amount, it shall be regarded as recovery of initial investment cost.

Under the equity method, an investing enterprise shall recognize the net losses of the invested enterprise as following process: firstly, it shall dilute the book value of the long-term equity investment; secondly, if the book value of the long-term equity investment is insufficient to dilute, it shall dilute the book value of the long-term receivables under the limit of other long-term rights and interests which substantially form the net investment made to the invested entity; lastly, after the above treatments, it shall recognize the accrued liabilities according to the responsibilities in investment contract or agreement and account them into current profits and losses.

If the invested entity realizes profits in posterior periods, the investing enterprise shall adopt the contrary process, after the unrecognized losses, to write down the balance of the accrued liabilities, recover the book value of other long-term rights and interests which substantially form the net investment made to the invested entity, and recognize the investment profits.

3. Evidences for significant influences and the invested entity under joint control

Certain control is considered as joint control with other parties over the invested entity when it happens over an economic activity in accordance with the contracts and agreements, which does not exist unless the investing parties of the economic activity with one an assent on sharing the control power over the relevant important financial and operating decisions. Certain case is considered as significant influences when the investing entity owns the power to participate in making decisions on the financial and operating policies of an enterprise, but not to control or do joint control together with other parties over the formulation of these policies.

4. Provision of impairment

For long-term equity investments characterized with significant impact, not quoted in active markets, and whose fair value cannot be reliably measured, the impairment loss is determined on basis of the difference between their book value and the present value of similar financial assets whose market rate of return on future cash flow can be discounted.

Other than goodwill arising from business combination, long-term equity investment with the evidence of impairment is impaired if the recoverable amount of the measurement results shows that the recoverable amount of the long-term equity investment is below its book value, and the difference will be recognized as impairment loss.

For goodwill arising from business combination, regardless of whether there is indication of impairment, annual impairment testing shall be conducted.

The impairment loss of long-term equity investments cannot be reversed once recognized.

(13) Investment properties

Investment property refers to the real estate held with purpose of rent earning, capital gaining or both of them, including land user which has been rented out or is held for transference after capital appreciation, and buildings which has been rented out.

The Company adopts cost calculation mode for measurement of investment property. On calculating the depreciation, the Company adopts the same policy of fixed assets for measurement of investment property and assets for rent, and the same policy of intangible assets for measurement of right of land use for rent.

On appearance of evidence for depreciation, the Company estimates the recoverable value and defines the impairment loss when the recoverable value is lower than its book value.

The impairment loss of investment property cannot be reversed once recognized.

(14) Fixed assets

1. Recognition of fixed assets

Fixed assets of the Company refer to tangible assets with useful life more than one accounting year and related to production, labor services, for lease or management. The Company recognizes the fixed assets when they meet the following conditions:

  • (1) The economic benefits pertinent to the fixed asset are likely to flow into the enterprise;
  • (2) The cost of the fixed asset can be measured reliably.

2. Depreciation of different categories of fixed assets

Fixed assets are depreciated over their useful life at straight-line method. Depreciation rates of fixed assets are determined based on the category, estimated useful life and estimated rate of net residual value of fixed assets.

For fixed assets leased under finance lease, if it can be reasonably determined that the ownership of the leased asset can be acquired upon the expiry of the lease term, depreciation policies in line with the fixed assets will be adopted for depreciation during the remaining useful life of the leased asset. If it cannot be reasonably determined that the ownership of the leased asset can be acquired upon the expiry of the lease term, depreciation polices in line with the fixed assets will be adopted for depreciation during the shorter of the lease term and the remaining useful life of the leased asset.

The useful life and depreciation rate for different categories of fixed assets are as follows:

Annual
Rate of residual depreciation
Category of fixed assets Useful life (year) value (%) rate (%)
Buildings and structures 20-50 0-5 2-4.75
Machinery and equipment 10-20 5 4.75-9.50
Electronic equipment,
appliances and furniture 5 5 19
Motor vehicles 5 5 19
Moulds 3 0 33.33

3. Testing and provision for depreciation of fixed assets

The Company determines whether there is evidence of impairment that may occur upon fixed assets at end of each period.

If there is indication of impairment of fixed assets, the Company shall estimate its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is to be determined by the higher between the net price of the fair value at the end of assets after subtracting costs of disposal and the present value of expected future cash flow from fixed assets.

When the recoverable amount of fixed assets is below their book value, the book value of fixed assets shall be written down to its recoverable amount, and the amount of write-down shall recognized as impairment loss of fixed assets, and included into current profits and losses. At the same time, the provision for depreciation of fixed assets shall be accrued.

After the recognition of impairment losses of fixed assets, the depreciation of fixed assets for impairment shall be accordingly adjusted in future periods so that during the remaining useful life of the fixed assets, the book value of adjusted fixed assets can be systematically amortized (less the estimated net residual value).

After the recognition, the impairment loss of fixed assets shall not be reversed in the subsequent accounting period.

If there are indications showing that a possible impairment of fixed assets could take place, the Company shall estimate its recoverable amount based on individual fixed assets. If difficult to do so, the Company shall determine the recoverable amount of the assets group on basis of the asset groups to which the fixed assets belong.

(15) Construction in progress

1. Categories of construction in progress

Constructions in progress are classified according to their characteristics in real cost accounting.

2. Standards and date of conversion from construction in progress to fixed assets

The book value of construction in progress is accounted into fixed assets at all the expenses occurred before the build-up of such assets available for intended use. After available for intended use but before the final settlement, the built-up fixed assets are accounted at estimated value and accrued under the depreciation policy of fixed assets based on construction's budget, cost or real cost. After the settlement, the Company shall adjust the provisional estimate by real cost, but not the accrued.

3. Testing and provision for depreciation of construction in progress

The Company determines whether there is evidence of impairment that may occur upon construction in progress at end of each period.

If there is indication of impairment of construction in progress, the Company shall estimate its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is to be determined by the higher between the net price of the fair value of construction in progress after subtracting costs of disposal and the present value of expected future cash flow from construction in progress.

When the recoverable amount of construction in progress is below their book value, the book value of construction in progress shall be written down to its recoverable amount, and the amount of write-down shall recognized as impairment loss of construction in progress, and included into current profits and losses. At the same time, the provision for depreciation of construction in progress shall be accrued.

After the recognition, the impairment loss of construction in progress shall not be reversed in subsequent accounting period.

If there are indications showing that impairment of certain construction in progress is possible, the Company shall estimate its recoverable amount based on individual construction. If difficult to do so, the Company shall determine the recoverable amount of the assets group on basis of the asset groups to which the construction in progress belongs.

(16) Borrowing costs

1. Principles of recognition for capitalization of the borrowing costs

Where the borrowing costs incurred to the Company can be directly attributable to the acquisition and construction or production of assets eligible for capitalization, it shall be capitalized and recorded into the costs of relevant assets. Other borrowing costs shall be recognized as expenses on the basis of the actual amount incurred, and shall be recorded into the current profits and losses.

The term "assets eligible for capitalization" shall refer to the fixed assets, investment real estate, inventories and other assets, of which the acquisition and construction or production may take quite a long time to get ready for its intended use or for sale.

The borrowing costs shall not be capitalized unless they meet the following requirements at the same time:

  • (1) The asset disbursements have already incurred, which shall include the cash, transferred noncash assets or interest bearing debts paid for the acquisition and construction or production activities for preparing assets eligible for capitalization;
  • (2) The borrowing costs has already incurred;
  • (3) The acquisition and construction or production activities which are necessary to prepare the asset for its intended use or sale have already started.

2. Period of capitalization of the borrowing costs

The capitalization period shall refer to the period from the commencement to the cessation of capitalization of the borrowing costs, excluding the period of suspension of capitalization of the borrowing costs.

When the assets of acquisition and construction or production are available for their intended use or marketable condition, the capitalization of loans ceases.

When certain part of the assets of acquisition and construction or production is separately completed and available for its intended use, the capitalization of loans for this part of assets ceases.

If different parts of the assets of acquisition and construction or production are separately completed, but they could be available for their intended use or marketable condition only after the completion of the construction in entirety, the capitalization of loans ceases after the entire completion.

3. Suspension of capitalization period

Where the acquisition and construction or production of a qualified asset is interrupted abnormally and the interruption period lasts for more than 3 months, the capitalization of the borrowing costs shall be suspended. Where the interrupted acquisition and construction or production of the qualified asset is available for intended use or marketable condition, the capitalization of loans shall reinitiate. The borrowings occurred during the suspension period shall be determined as profits and losses of the current period, and the capitalization will not reinitiate until the reactivation of the interrupted acquisition and construction or production of the qualified asset.

The to-be-capitalized amount of interests of the specially borrowed loans (minus the income of the interests earned on the unused borrowing loans as a deposit in the bank or as a temporary investment) and the ancillary expense incurred to the specifically borrowed loans incurred before a qualified asset under acquisition, construction or production is ready for the intended use or sale, shall be capitalized at the incurred amount when they are incurred.

The Company shall calculate and determine the to-be-capitalized amount of interests on the general borrowing by multiplying the weighted average asset disbursement of the part of the accumulative asset disbursements minus the general borrowing by the capitalization rate of the general borrowing used. The capitalization rate shall be calculated and determined in light of the weighted average interest rate of the general borrowing.

Where there is any discount or premium, the amount of discounts or premiums that shall be amortized during each accounting period shall be determined by the real interest rate method, and an adjustment shall be made to the amount of interests in each period.

(17) Intangible assets

1. Pricing of intangible assets

(1) Initial measurement at cost upon acquisition of intangible assets by the Company

The cost of outsourcing intangible assets shall include the purchase price, relevant taxes and other necessary expenditures directly attributable to intangible assets for the expected purpose. Where the payment of purchase price for intangible assets is delayed beyond the normal credit conditions, which is of financing intention, the cost of intangible assets shall be determined on the basis of the current value of the purchase price.

The book value of the intangible assets acquired as debt assets through the recombination of liabilities shall be accounted on basis of the fair value of the intangible assets, and the difference between the book value of recombined liabilities and the fair value of debt assets shall be accounted into current profits and losses.

Under the conditions that the exchange of non-monetary assets is characterized with business essence, and the fair value of the assets received or surrendered can be accounted in a reliable way, the book value of assets received is defined on basis of the fair value of assets surrendered, except there are conclusive evidences for the stronger reliability of the fair value of assets received. For the exchange of those non-monetary assets not meeting the above premises, the book value of assets surrendered and related taxes shall be accounted as cost of assets received and the profits and losses shall not be concluded.

The book value of the intangible assets acquired through merger of enterprises under the same control shall be accounted at the book value of the merged enterprise. The book value of the intangible assets acquired through merger of enterprise not under the same control shall be accounted at the fair value of the acquired assets.

The cost of intangible assets developed internally includes: material and labor expenses, register fee, amortization of other patent and franchise fee, interest expense eligible for capitalization during development process, and other direct expenses for making the intangible assets available to its intended use.

The useful life of the acquired intangible assets is determined upon acquisition.

For the intangible assets with limited useful life, the economic benefits shall be amortized using the straight-line method; the intangible assets whose useful life of economic benefits cannot be predicted are deemed as intangible assets with indefinite useful life and are not amortized.

2. Estimate of useful life for the intangible assets with limited useful life:

Intangible assets with limited useful life are amortized using the straight line method over its expected useful life based on its cost after deducting the expected residual value, with the period of amortization as follows:

  • (1) Rights of land use are amortized based on the remaining useful life at the time of acquisition;
  • (2) Other intangible assets are amortized based on the expected useful life.

The useful life of an intangible asset is determined according to the following procedures:

  • (1) For intangible assets arising from contractual rights or other legal rights, their useful lives shall not exceed the term of the contractual rights or other legal rights;
  • (2) For contractual rights or other legal rights being extended at expiry due to renewal of contract and when there is evidence that the enterprise does not require to pay significant cost in renewal of the control, the renewal term shall be accounted as useful life. When there is no requirement on the useful life in the contract or law, the Company takes into account various factors in determining the term in which the intangible assets will be able to bring economic benefits to the Company.

The service life and amortization method of intangible assets with limited useful life are reviewed at the end of each period.

After review, the service life and amortization method of intangible assets at the end of the year remain the same as the previous period.

3. Basis for determining intangible assets with uncertain useful life:

The service life method of intangible assets with uncertain useful life is reviewed at the end of each period.

4. Provision for depreciation of intangible assets

Intangible assets with definite service life are subject to impairment testing at the end of period when there is obvious indications of impairment.

Intangible assets with uncertain service life are subject to impairment testing at the end of each period.

Impairment testing of intangible assets is used to estimate their recoverable amount. The recoverable amount of intangible assets represents the higher between the net fair value of intangible assets less disposal fees and the present value of estimated future cash flow of intangible assets.

When the recoverable amount of intangible assets is lower than their book value, the book value of intangible assets shall be written down to its recoverable amount, and the amount of write-down is recognized as an intangible asset impairment losses, included in current profits and losses, and the corresponding provision for depreciation shall be accrued at the same time.

After the recognition of impairment losses of intangible assets, the Company shall adjust accordingly the depletion or amortization costs in future periods, so that during the remaining useful life, the adjusted book value of intangible assets (less estimated net residual value) can be systematically amortized.

The impairment losses of intangible assets will not be recovered in subsequent accounting periods after the recognition.

If there are indications of a possible impairment of intangible assets, the Company shall estimate the recoverable amount based on the individual intangible assets. In case that it is difficult to estimate the recoverable amount of the individual intangible assets, the Company determines their recoverable amount based on the assets group to which the individual intangible assets belong.

2. Measurement of provisions

Contingent liabilities of the Company are initially measured based on the best estimated amount of the expenditure required to fulfill the related current obligations.

On determining the best estimated amount, the Company considers integrally the factors of risk, uncertainty and currency related to contingent items. For the significant influence of currency's time value, the Company determines the best estimated amount through the discount of future cash outflow.

The best estimated amount is treated separately under the following circumstances:

There is a continuous range (or scope) of required expenditure among which the possibility for occurring different results maintains the same, the best estimated amount shall be defined by the median, which means the average amount of upper and lower limits of the continuous range.

If there is no continuous range (or scope), or if the possibility for different results to occur within the range differs despite the existence of a continuous range, or if an event involves an individual project, the best estimated amount shall be determined based on the most probable amount; or if the contingent item is related to a number of individual projects, the best estimated amount shall be determined based on the different possible results and their probabilities.

In the event that the amount payable for a contingent liability is compensated partly or wholly by a third party, such compensation will be recognized when it is reasonably certain that the amount will be received, to the extent that the recognized amount of compensation does not exceed the book value of the contingent liability.

If the Company can, on the date of the balance sheet, reliably estimate the outcome of a transaction concerning the labor services it provides, it shall recognize the revenue from providing services employing the percentage-of-completion method. An enterprise may adopt the measurement of the work completed to ascertain the schedule of completion under the transaction concerning the providing of labor services.

The Company determines the total revenue from labor services in accordance with the received or receivable purchase price fixed by contract or agreement, except when the price is unfair. On the balance sheet date, the Company confirms the labor services income of the current period according to the total revenue of labor services multiplied by the percentage of completion and less the accumulated determined services revenues in previous periods. At the same time, the Company confirms the labor services expenditure of the current period according to the total cost of labor services multiplied by the percentage of completion and less the accumulated determined services expenditure in previous periods.

If an enterprise cannot, on the date of the balance sheet, measure the result of a transaction concerning the providing of labor services in a reliable way, it shall be conducted in accordance with the following circumstances, respectively:

  • (1) If the cost of labor services incurred is expected to be compensated, the revenue from the providing of labor services shall be recognized in accordance with the amount of the cost of labor services incurred, and the cost of labor services shall be carried forward at the same amount;
  • (2) If the cost of labor services incurred is not expected to compensate, the cost incurred shall be included in the current profits and losses, and no revenue from the providing of labor services may be recognized.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

I. Overall operation

During the Reporting Period, the domestic refrigerator market has experienced a significant slow down in the growth momentum, whereas the air-conditioner market has maintained a relatively rapid growth and the overall export of home appliances has been stable. However, the operation of companies in the industry was exposed to more difficult macro environment, which was characterized by increasing costs of raw materials and human resources, appreciation of Renminbi and tightening monetary policies that have repressed the profitability of companies. Upholding the operating strategy of "improving the human resources structure, reinforcing technological innovations, reforming marketing model, enhancing the efficiency per head, accelerating the progress of internationalization" devised at the beginning of the year, the Company has successfully realized further enhancement in its operating scale despite the unfavorable macro-economic environment. During the Reporting Period, the Company's revenue from principal operation was RMB9.681 billion, representing an increase of 13.85% as compared to the corresponding period last year. The net profit attributable to the equity holders of the parent company was RMB286 million, representing an decrease of 13.22% as compared to the corresponding period last year, and the net profit attributable to the equity holders of the parent company (after deduction of extraordinary gains and losses) was RMB230 million, representing an increase of 25.94% as compared to the corresponding period last year.

During the Reporting Period, the Group's revenue from the refrigerator business amounted to RMB4.395 billion and accounted for 45.40% of the total turnover of the Company, representing an decrease of 0.9% as compared to the corresponding period last year,and the revenue from the air-conditioner business amounted to RMB4.269 billion and accounted for 44.10% of the total turnover of the Company, representing an increase of 36.00% as compared to the corresponding period last year. The operating revenue from the domestic sales business was RMB6.838 billion, representing an increase of 12.91% as compared to the corresponding period last year. The operating revenue from the overseas sales business was RMB2.843 billion, representing an increase of 16.19% as compared to the corresponding period last year.

Refrigerator business

In view of the slowing down in the overall demand in the refrigerator market as well as pressure from increasing costs and price competition, the Company has proactively adjusted its product structure by launching new high-end refrigerators such as French-style multi-door and European-style three-door refrigerators. According to the statistics of China Market Monitor Co., LTD (CMM), during the Reporting Period, the growth in the scale of Ronshen refrigerators was above the industry average and the market share of the refrigerator products of the Company was still among the forefront of the industry. Meanwhile, through the six-sigma project, the Company enhanced the quality of refrigerator products and improved product quality costs in pursuance of excellence in quality. At "The Third Summit of Refrigerator Industry of the PRC", the Company was awarded with the "Outstanding Quality in the Refrigerator Industry of the year 2010 to 2011".

In addition, the Company has been devoted to expanding the export business for freezers and the export of freezers has recorded an increase of over 30% during the Reporting Period as compared to the corresponding period last year.

I. Overall operation — Continued

Air-conditioner business

Leveraging on the leading edges in terms of core inverter air-conditioning technologies built throughout the years, the Company has proactively adjusted its product structure and timely launched differentiated and cost-competitive products such as the "Lotus in the Moonlight" series of dual-mode, chlorine-free, high-end, inverter air-conditioners (荷塘月色雙模無氟高端變頻空調). With more than 70% growth in the scale of Hisense's inverter air-conditioners, the profit margins of inverter air-conditioners had further increased, improving the profit margins and profitability for airconditioner business. Up to now, the Company has already obtained over 400 patents for its inverter and other technologies and over 120 registration items for software. In addition to the self-developed comprehensive inverter air-conditioning solutions, it has also a number of core technologies such as 360-degree full DC inverter technology, IDM dual-mode control, dehumidification at constant temperature and electronic expansion control valve. At "The 2011 (Fourth) Air-Conditioner Industry Annual Conference of the PRC", with the Company's advantages in inverter technology innovations and market influence, the Company has won the major award of "2011 Leading Inverter Airconditioner Brand of the PRC" .

Outlook

In the second half of 2011, the Company will be exposed to even higher operating pressure under the unfavorable backdrop of withdrawal of State's industrial subsidy policies, continuous increase in prices of raw materials and costs of human resources, appreciation of Renminbi and the tightening of monetary policies. In the second half of 2011, the Company will continue to uphold the operating strategy devised at the beginning of the year and adhere to implementing the Group's "Strategy of Intelligence Enhancement" which is centered on the differentiation of products and enhancement of user experience through strengthening of technological innovations; highlighting its high-end products such as large capacity refrigerators and inverter air-conditioners so as to enhance the competitiveness of the products and the brand; incessantly improving the sales structure for realization of accelerated growth of scale; reforming the marketing model to increase the professionalism of the marketing force, accelerate the construction pace of specialty shops in the third- and four-tier markets, and further speed up the deepening of the focuses of sales channels; controlling the costs strictly so as to achieve further cost reduction; accelerating the capital turnaround and reducing capital hold-up, improving the efficiency through process optimization, with the objective to ameliorate the operational quality and profitability of the Company gradually.
