Business Review - For the year ended December 31, 2012

Production Management

During the reporting period, the Company ensured the safe and stable operation at all its major plants through enhancing HSE management and the refined production management. Hainan Fudao Phase II Urea Plant and CNOOC Tianye's urea plant in Inner Mongolia have all broken their respective records for long-period operation.

The utilisation rate of DAP phase II plant of DYK Chemical had been increasing month by month after the plant went into commercial operation, as a result of ongoing optimisation of its production processes and timely rectification of any problems existing in the equipment performance and production process flow. The utilisation rates of the Company's urea and methanol plants were affected by scheduled overhauls at three principal production plants in Hainan during the first half of the year, and the undersupply of natural gas during the first quarter for CNOOC Tianye's urea and methanol plants in Inner Mongolia.

Sales Management

The Company ensured the sales of its principal products during the reporting period, in spite of the complexities and uncertainties in the market, by strengthening its work in market analysis and prospective judgement and adopting different pricing models based on product characteristics as well as differentiated logistics support measures based on the logistics conditions of target markets.
