2000 Annual Report on the Work of the Board of Directors
 
Dear Shareholders:
The year 2000 marked the final year of the company’s implementation of the Ninth Five-Year Plan. Looking back on the past year, the company remained firmly focused on the market economy as its central task, vigorously advancing efforts in marketing, product mix optimization, technological upgrading, investment promotion, quality improvement, and cost reduction. In 2000, the company achieved main business revenue of RMB 800.68 million, up 11.12% from 1999; total profit of RMB 85.44 million, up 9.96% from 1999; and net profit of RMB 78.15 million, up 9.98% from 1999.
I. Review of the Company’s Operating Performance in 2000
1. Overview of the Company’s Principal Business Activities
(1) With a spirit of hard work and innovation, the company has expanded into new markets while consolidating its foothold in existing ones, with a particular focus on turnkey projects, screw-type refrigeration compressors, and grain coolers, resulting in new progress in domestic market development.
In 2000, the company undertook more than a dozen large-scale turnkey projects each valued at over RMB 5 million, including several ultra-large turnkey projects exceeding RMB 10 million in value, thereby delivering a portfolio of high-quality, flagship projects and further strengthening the company’s competitive edge in the turnkey engineering sector, particularly in the field of dual-storage facility turnkey projects.
In 2000, sales revenue from the company’s flagship screw-type refrigeration compressors increased substantially, surpassing for the first time the annual sales revenue of its reciprocating refrigeration compressor products, thereby signaling that the company’s turn-of-the-century product restructuring had achieved significant success.
In 2000, the company’s grain cooling equipment supplied for national grain reserve warehouses generated sales revenue of over RMB 60 million, establishing itself as a new driver of profit growth.
(2) With a focus on diversifying export markets and export methods, the development of international markets has been steadily advanced.
In 2000, in line with the company’s “going global” strategy, it further consolidated and expanded its market share in Southeast Asia, actively tapped into emerging markets such as Cuba, Africa, and the Middle East, and broadened its processing trade with Japan, the United States, and Australia, thereby achieving diversification of its export markets. At the same time, the company proactively broadened the range of its export products: building on its existing refrigeration offerings, it vigorously promoted air-conditioning product lines and products from joint ventures, while also developing large-scale turnkey engineering projects, all of which yielded excellent results.
(3) Emphasis was placed on technological advancement, with further intensified efforts in product structure adjustment and technological upgrading.
In 2000, the company had more than a dozen new products pass company-level appraisal; the centrifugal chiller was successfully launched on the market and received a positive response, further optimizing the company’s core product portfolio. At the same time, the company intensified technological upgrades for semi-hermetic chillers, air-cooled heat exchangers, evaporators, condensers, and other products.
In 2000, the company obtained the Ministry of Agriculture’s license for the manufacture of pressure vessels in accordance with the “Code for the Construction of Steel Marine Fishing Vessels,” thereby enabling it to produce not only land-based pressure vessels but also marine pressure vessels and expanding its business scope.
(4) The joint venture has achieved breakthrough progress in market development, resulting in a significant improvement in overall profitability.
In 2000, through a variety of effective measures—including product mix optimization and increased capital investment—the five joint ventures—Sanyo Home Appliances, Sanyo Air Conditioning, Sanyo Food Products, Sanyo Compressor, and Dalingwang—saw their core business revenues grow by more than 40% year on year; the net profits of three of these joint ventures—Sanyo Compressor, Sanyo Air Conditioning, and Dalingwang—increased by over 70% year on year; and three others—Minghua Electronics, Sanyo Home Appliances, and Sanyo Food Products—managed to turn losses into profits. With this, all of the company’s joint ventures had now achieved profitability.
(5) Adhering to the market economy as the central focus has fully leveraged the strengths and role of ideological and political work.
(6) Adhering to the principle of giving equal emphasis to both ideological and political work and economic development, new progress has been made in building leadership teams at all levels.

II. 2001 Corporate Business Development Plan
2001 Corporate Business Plan Targets:
Sales revenue: RMB 900 million;
Total profit: RMB 90 million;
Foreign exchange earnings from exports: US$6.04 million.
1. Rise to the challenge, capture both domestic and international markets, and achieve a substantial increase in market share.
Focus should be placed on the following key areas: (1) Continue to implement the market responsibility system at all levels of leadership and across the entire workforce; (2) Further cultivate a holistic market-oriented mindset and a development-oriented approach, with a strong emphasis on securing major national investment projects in agriculture, forestry, water conservancy, transportation and communications, urban infrastructure and environmental protection, rural–urban power grid upgrades, and centrally managed grain reserve warehouses; continue to advance large-scale petrochemical projects; vigorously develop rural markets; and capitalize on the opportunities presented by the Western Development Initiative; (3) Adhere to a dual-market strategy, strive to expand export markets, attach great importance to the “going global” strategy, and actively promote diversification of export markets and export methods; (4) Strengthen the development of the marketing team and enhance information-based management, ensuring timely understanding of customer demand for products and emerging market trends; (5) Continue to reinforce after-sales service management and place a strong emphasis on continuous innovation in after-sales services; (6) Intensify efforts to collect outstanding receivables; and (7) Increase the intensity of product advertising and promotion.
2. Foster a culture of innovation, set high and new technologies as the goal, and accelerate the strategic restructuring of the product portfolio.
Strategic adjustments to the product mix will be guided by the following principles: (1) Adhere to a combination of technology import, independent R&D, and joint ventures and collaborations to rapidly achieve mass production and capture both domestic and international markets; (2) While building a pipeline of products for long-term development, prioritize the R&D and commercialization of recently introduced products to bring them to market as quickly as possible; (3) Focus on flagship products and high-tech offerings, and opportunistically expand beyond the current industry into higher-value, broader-market segments; (4) Strengthen technological innovation capabilities, establish robust innovation and incentive mechanisms, and fully motivate scientific and technical personnel; (5) Intensify efforts in technological R&D and technological upgrading.
3. Intensify efforts to attract investment.
The focus of investment promotion and attraction efforts will be on refrigeration and air-conditioning products, while at the same time actively yet prudently pursuing research and development in such fields as environmental protection, new-material applications, and the information industry. We must fully leverage the opportunity presented by China’s imminent accession to the WTO, adhere to the principle of “going global and inviting foreign partners in,” and proactively establish connections with globally renowned large corporations—especially those ranked among the Fortune Global 500—to ensure that new breakthroughs are achieved this year in joint ventures and cooperative projects.
4. Actively promote institutional and managerial innovation.
Taking personnel and wage reform as the breakthrough, we will continue to deepen all aspects of the company’s reform. (1) Intensify efforts to reduce headcount while enhancing efficiency and implement workforce reallocation. Through these measures, we will lower labor costs and further improve employee competence and productivity. (2) Strengthen the reform of the compensation system. Fully implement the principles of distribution according to work and distribution according to factors of production, integrate wage allocation with the human resource management system, and continue to adopt a flexible wage structure. Wage allocation should be tilted toward scientific and technological personnel, business managers, managerial core staff, and employees in key positions. (3) Accelerate the reform of the property rights system and carry out asset optimization and restructuring. (4) Improve the corporate governance structure and establish a modern enterprise system.
5. Strive for excellence in product quality and further implement the brand-name strategy.
The implementation of a brand-name strategy should be regarded as the company’s quality-development objective. We must study and draw on advanced quality-management practices and methodologies both domestically and internationally, improve the quality-responsibility system at all levels, and rigorously enforce the quality-veto mechanism. Guided by market demand and driven by product-structure adjustment, we should intensify technological upgrading and leverage advanced technology, equipment, and process capabilities to ensure product quality.
6. Use corporate culture development as a vehicle to further strengthen ideological and political work.
Ideological and political work must be made a key criterion for evaluating leading teams at all levels. Focusing on enterprise reform and development, we should strengthen education on the current situation and tasks, as well as corporate culture building, with particular emphasis on shaping the enterprise’s image, product image, management image, employee image, and worksite image. We will also intensify publicity efforts for our products and corporate image, with the goal of establishing Dalingjian as China’s largest production base for refrigeration and air-conditioning equipment.
