Based on the information currently available to the Company, such substantial decrease in profit is mainly attributable to the substantial decrease in the sales of the Group's heavy duty trucks due to the decrease in the overall demand of heavy duty trucks in the PRC in 2012 given the fixed operation costs of the Group is relatively stable.
Despite the above, the Board considers that the cash flow of the Group remains sufficient and the overall financial condition of the Group remains stable.
