Concise financial analysis by the management
 
Based on the consolidated basis, for the year 2013, 2014 and 2015, the operating income of the Company was RMB133,832.8747 million, RMB140,026.6904 million and RMB128,904.8725 million, respectively. The operating income in 2015 declined slightly due to the impact of market; net profit amounted to RMB13,104.3482 million, RMB15,359.5291 million and RMB17,549.6771 million, respectively; cash inflows generated from operating activities were RMB151,803.568 million, RMB159,322.6744 million and RMB 146,219.684 million, respectively; net cash flows generated from operating activities were RMB40,239.4294 million, RMB37,366.7716 million and RMB42,362.707 million, respectively. Given the stable operating performance and strong profitability of the Company, the Company has strong ability to repay the principal and interests.
 
The Company maintained prudent financial policies in a long run and sound liquidity by focusing on the management of liquidity; the Company can sell off the current assets to supplement the debt capital if necessary. As at the end of 2015, the balance of the current

assets based on the consolidated statement amounted to RMB31,886.5907 million; when necessary, selling off current assets provides guarantee for the repayment of the debts in a timely manner through.
 
The Company has sound financial situations, credit records and market reputation, and established a long-term and stable cooperative relationship with a number of domestic large financial institutions; so the Company has strong indirect financing capacity. If the Company fails to obtain sufficient funds from the expected source of repayment in a timely manner under unforeseen circumstances, the Company will raise the funds required for the repayment of the principal and interests of the bonds through indirect financing depending on good credit standing and cooperative relationship with financial institutions. As at the end of 2015, the Company acquired a total bank credit line of RMB335 billion and RMB235.7 billion has not been used. The Company’s unused credit line provides strong guarantee for the repayment of the bonds.
 
IV.
USE OF PROCEEDS FROM THE ISSUANCE OF BONDS
 
The funds raised from the bonds after deducting the issuance costs are intended to be used for debt restructuring and working capital. The bonds will be issued in different stages and the relevant approval and issuance time are still undetermined. After the issuance of various bonds and receipts of the funds raised, the Company will make appropriate adjustments of the specific repayment plan based on the actual time of receipts of the funds raised from the various bonds and the requirements for debt restructuring of the Company by following the principle of optimizing the Company’s financial structure and reducing interest expenses.
 
 
1.
The impact on the structure of assets and liabilities of the Company
 
The successful issuance of the bonds will effectively increase the total working capital of the Company; the Company’s financial leverage will be used more reasonably and conducive to the steady implementation of the overall arrangement of the Company’s medium-and long-term funds and strategic objectives.
 
 
2.
The impact on the financial expenses of the Company
 
Compared with the indirect financing through bank loans, corporate bonds as direct financing products in the capital market have cost advantages. The Company could control the Company’s financial costs through the issuance of fixed-rate corporate bonds to avoid the risk of fluctuations in interest rates. At the same time, it will allow the Company to obtain the long-term stable operating funds, reduce the pressure on short-term debt repayment, and promote the sustained and stable development of the Company.

3.
The impact on short-term solvency of the Company
 
The use of proceeds from the issue of bonds will supplement the working capital of the Company, increase the Company’s liquidity ratio, enhance the covering capacity of current assets to current liabilities, and further enhance the short-term solvency.
 
In summary, the issuance of the bonds will further optimize the Company’s financial structure, enhance the Company’s short-term solvency, provide stable middle-to-long-term financial support for the Company’s future business development, enable the company to better face the market challenges, maintain constant and steady growth in the major business, further expand its market share, and improve the Company’s profitability and core competitiveness.
