MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Ⅰ .Overall Operation

During the Reporting Period, the domestic refrigerator and air-conditioner markets showed downward trends, while the export market was sluggish on the whole. On the one hand, with the progressive withdrawal of the “Home Appliances Subsidy Policy for Rural Areas and Villages (家電下鄉 ) ” and “Trade-in (以舊換新 ) ” policies, the stimulation brought by such policies on the market showed a diminishing marginal effect, Coupled with the lethargic macro-economy and continued implementation of stringent real estate control

measures in the PRC, the demand for home appliances in the domestic market was sluggish and demand has remained low. On the other hand, the environment for export was also difficult under the continued aggravation of the European debt crisis and weak global economy which led to shrinking demand in the international market. During the Reporting Period, the Company strictly adhered to the operating strategies of “building product advantages, reforming marketing models, enhancing per capita efficiency, accelerating the progress of internationalization and realizing sound and rapid growth” laid down in the beginning of the year, and amidst unfavorable domestic and overseas macro-economic environments, the operating results were further enhanced through improving the product sales structure, increasing the gross profit margin of the products and increasing the scale of export. During the Reporting Period, the Company recorded a total revenue of RMB9,968,000,000, representing a year-to-year decrease of 7.15%, among which the revenue from its principal businesses amounted to RMB9,047,000,000, representing a year-to-year decrease of 6.55%. The net profit attributable to equity holders of the listed company was RMB380,000,000, representing a year-to-year increase of 32.90%, whereas the net profit attributable to equity holders of the listed company after deducting exceptional items amounted to RMB375,000,000, representing a year-to-year increase of 62.62%.

During the Reporting Period, the Company’s revenue from the refrigerator business amounted to RMB4,266,000,000 and accounted for 47.16% of the revenue from principal businesses.

In the second half of 2012, the Company will continue to uphold the operating strategies devised at the beginning of the year and strive for the steady enhancement of the scale, results and market share of the Company through the following efforts: to focus on product differentiation and improvement of user experience, to reinforce technological innovations and boost product competitiveness; to enhance the product sale structure; to reform the marketing model, speed up establishment of retail channels targeted at the third and fourth grade markets, further utilize the e-business platform and the emerging channels for internet sales; to increase the weight of self-owned brand export and reinforce the effort of development for key export markets; to step up cost control, intensify the implementation of cost-cutting, and streamline workflow to increase efficiency; and to strengthen capital management and expedite cash flow.
