Industry Overview

According to the Global Wind Energy Council, 2014 recorded the highest increase in newly installed wind power capacity in a single year. Global wind power expanded by 16%, or 51GW, to a global total of 370GW.China saw the largest jump in new capacity, adding about 23GW in 2014 after expanding by 16GW in 2013, according to the same source. Despite the correction of oil prices throughout the year, there was no material negative impact on the wind energy industry given the low-cost, stable and reliable nature of wind energy, according to the Global Wind Energy Council.

The PRC government released a number of favorable policies to encourage renewable energy investments in 2015 in an effort to combat air pollution, which are expected to continue to boost the China's wind sector in 2015. For example, the wind resource-rich areas along the "New Silk Road" are set to enjoy substantial infrastructure financing supports, which will in turn drive wind farm construction in western China. Most recently, an official guideline on China's electricity system reform urged local grid companies to give priority to electricity from renewable sources in an effort to improve current curtailment rates.

Recent Business Developments

MY completed and connected to the grid a 6.5MW SCD prototype in Jiangsu Province - In March 2015, Ming Yang announced that its 6.5MW SCD offshore WTG prototype began commercial operation in Rudong, Jiangsu Province, China. This cutting-edge, award-winning prototype is expected to be expanded and developed into a series of wind turbine generators with capacity ranging from 5.0MW to 7.0 MW.

MY's two-blade 3.0 MW SCD onshore WTG demonstrated full availability - In Dabancheng, Xinjiang Province, Ming Yang's 3MW SCD turbines are now working at full capacity. In response to the strong customer demand for reliable and cost-effective products in various weather conditions, Ming Yang is planning to launch an innovative three-blade SCD wind turbine model, which will be specializing in generating power from low wind speeds.

MY announced strategic partnerships with two leading research institutes - In November 2014, Ming Yang signed official cooperation agreements with Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft, Europe's largest application-oriented research organization, and Energy Research Centre of the Netherlands, the largest energy research institute in the Netherlands, as part of the Company's efforts to improve the design of its wind turbine products and enhance the Company's overall research and development productivity.

MY expected to start installation of approximately 29 units of 3.0MW SCD wind turbines in Guishan Island, Guangdong Province - In this project, which is expected to be the first ever offshore wind farm project in China and a milestone in China's offshore wind energy sector, Ming Yang will provide the wind farm project owner with a complete technology and construction solution, including WTGs, turbine towers and foundation structures, as well as overall project management of the 45 km(2 )offshore wind farm around Guishan and its nearby islands..

Ming Yang consolidated its third position in terms of the newly installed capacity in China in 2014, with an increase of approximately 1% from 2013 in the market share of China's total newly installed capacity, according to the preliminary statistics of Chinese Wind Energy Association (CWEA).In addition, Ming Yang took 8th in the world's top 10 wind turbine original equipment manufacturers ("OEMs") ranking in 2014, raised from 9th last year, according to the report of Global Wind Turbine OEM Market Share Study released by MAKE Consulting. The same source also revealed that the market share of Ming Yang hit 9.9% in total in 2014, with an 11.1% increase of the whole market growth.

Fourth Quarter 2014 Operating Data and Unaudited Financial Results

Revenue

Revenue in the fourth quarter of 2014 was RMB1,996.0 million (US$321.7 million), an increase of 268.8% as compared to that of the corresponding period in 2013. WTGs for which revenue was recognized in the fourth quarter amounted to an equivalent wind power project output of 638.0MW, or 280 units of 1.5MWand 109 units of 2.0MWWTGs. For the corresponding period of 2013, the output was 175.5MW, or 117 units of 1.5MW WTGs. The 268.8% increase in revenue was mainly due to a 263.5% increase in WTGs commissioned in terms of wind power project output compared with the corresponding period of 2013.

Gross Profit / (Loss) and Gross Margin

Gross profit in the fourth quarter of 2014 was RMB271.9 million (US$43.8 million), compared to a gross loss of RMB20.0 million in the corresponding period of 2013. Gross margin in the fourth quarter of 2014 was 13.6%, compared to negative gross margin of 3.7% for the corresponding period in 2013. On an adjusted basis, should warranty provisions be excluded from cost of sales, our adjusted gross margin would be 16.6% for the fourth quarter of 2014 and a negative gross margin of 0.5% for the corresponding period of 2013 respectively.

Selling and Distribution Expenses

Selling and distribution expenses were RMB79.2 million (US$12.8 million) for the fourth quarter of 2014, compared to RMB84.0 million for the corresponding period in 2013, representing a decrease of 5.7%. Despite the increase in the number of WTGs transported, the decrease in selling and distribution expenses was primarily attributable to the average lower transportation expense incurred for each WTG in the fourth quarter of 2014 as the Company allocated the production of WTGs in its production facilities that were closer to the designated wind farms..

Administrative Expenses

Administrative expenses were RMB99.0 million (US$16.0million) for the fourth quarter of 2014, compared to RMB231.1 million for the corresponding period in 2013, representing a decrease of 57.2%. The decrease in administrative expenses was mainly due to (i) less provision for doubtful trade and other receivables being made in the fourth quarter of 2014 as compared to the corresponding period of 2013; and (ii) our administrative expenses in the fourth quarter of 2013 included RMB26.9 million incurred by our previously consolidated Indian subsidiary, Global Wind Power Limited ("GWPL"), which we deconsolidated since January 1, 2014.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses were RMB23.2million (US$3.7 million) for the fourth quarter of 2014, compared to RMB36.2 million for the corresponding period in 2013, representing a decrease of 35.9%. The decrease was primarily attributable to less research and development activities carried out in the fourth quarter of 2014.

Impairment Loss on Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

In the fourth quarter of 2013, we recognized impairment loss of RMB179.7 million against goodwill and intangible assets in respect of our previously consolidated Indian subsidiary, GWPL. Subsequent to our deconsolidation of GWPL since January 1, 2014, no further impairment loss in respect of GWPL was recognized in 2014.

Net Finance Income

Finance income was RMB48.0 million (US$7.7 million) for the fourth quarter of 2014, compared to RMB37.9 million for the corresponding period in 2013. The increase in finance income was mainly attributable to the increase in interest income from bank deposits and entrusted loans. Finance expenses were RMB38.4 million (US$6.2 million) for the fourth quarter of 2014, compared to RMB67.9 million for the corresponding period in 2013. The decrease in finance expenses was mainly due to the impact of deconsolidation of GWPL. In the fourth quarter of 2013, the finance expenses recorded by GWPL amounted to RMB32.9 million.

Profit / (Loss)Before Income Tax

Profit before income tax was RMB97.5million (US$15.7 million) for the fourth quarter of 2014, compared to a loss before income tax of RMB563.6 million for the corresponding period in 2013.

Income Tax (Expense) / Benefit

Income tax expense was RMB13.5 million (US$2.2 million) for the fourth quarter of 2014, compared to income tax benefit of RMB66.7 million for the corresponding period in 2013, primarily due to profit before tax recorded during the fourth quarter of 2014.

Total Comprehensive Income / (Loss) and Earnings /(Loss)per Share

As a result of the cumulative effects of the factors discussed above, total comprehensive income for the fourth quarter of 2014 was RMB80.9million (US$13.0 million), compared to total comprehensive loss of RMB501.9 million for the corresponding period in 2013.

For the fourth quarter of 2014, basic and diluted earnings per share were RMB0.68 (US$0.11) and RMB0.66 (US$0.11), respectively, compared to basic and diluted loss per share of RMB3.36 and RMB3.36, respectively, for the corresponding period in 2013.

Full Year 2014 Operating Data and Unaudited Financial Results

Revenue

Revenue was RMB5,872.4 million (US$946.5 million) for the full year 2014, representing an increase of 106.4% from RMB2,844.8 million in 2013. WTGs for which revenue was recognized in 2014 amounted to an equivalent wind power project output of 1,852.0MW, or 844 units of 1.5MW WTGs, and 293 units of 2.0MW WTGs, compared to 872.0MW in 2013, or 455 units of 1.5MW WTGs, 91 units of 2.0MW WTGs and 3 units of 2.5MW WTGs. The increase in revenue was primarily due to a 112.4% increase in WTGs commissioned in terms of wind power project output.

Gross Profit and Gross Margin

Gross profit was RMB813.1million (US$131.0 million) for the full year 2014, representing an increase of 210.0% from RMB262.3 million in 2013. Gross margin was 13.8%, compared to 9.2% in 2013. The increase in gross profit was primarily due to (i) the impact of deconsolidation of GWPL, which recorded higher costs and provision for inventories in 2013; and (ii) the lower unit cost as a result of scale of economy for more WTGs commissioned in 2014. On an adjusted basis, should warranty provisions be excluded from cost of sales, our adjusted gross margin would be 16.9% and 12.3% for the full year 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Selling and Distribution Expenses

Selling and distribution expenses were RMB237.2 million (US$38.2 million) for the full year 2014, compared to RMB219.9 million in 2013, representing an increase of 7.9%. The increase in selling and distribution expenses was primarily attributable to increased number of WTGs delivered during the year. As a result, higher total transportation expenses were recorded during the year 2014, which were partially offset by the average lower transportation expense incurred for each WTG as the Company optimized its production allocation.

Administrative Expenses

Administrative expenses were RMB243.1 million (US$39.2 million) for the full year 2014, compared to RMB445.9 million in 2013, representing a decrease of 45.5%, primarily attributable to (i) less provision for doubtful trade and other receivables being made in the full year 2014 as compared to the full year 2013; and (ii) our administrative expenses in the full year 2013 included RMB58.8 million incurred by our previously consolidated subsidiary, GWPL, which we deconsolidated since January 1, 2014.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses were RMB89.5 million (US$14.4 million) for the full year 2014, compared to RMB102.6 million in 2013, representing a decrease of 12.8%, primarily due to the higher efficiency in our improved research and development processes. Despite the lower spending in the year of 2014, our research and development results were improved actually, as a series of new products were launched during 2014. We plan to enhance our research and development activities to develop more market driven, larger power SCD products in 2015.

Impairment Loss on Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

In the fourth quarter of 2013, we recognized impairment loss of RMB179.7 million against goodwill and intangible assets in respect of GWPL. Subsequent to our deconsolidation of GWPL since January 1, 2014, no further impairment loss in respect of GWPL was recognized in 2014.

Net Finance Expenses

Net finance expenses were RMB5.0 million (US$0.8 million) for the full year 2014, compared to RMB81.5 million in 2013, which was primarily attributable to the impact of deconsolidation of GWPL since January 1, 2014.

Gain on Loss of Control of Subsidiaries

Gain on loss of control of subsidiaries of RMB124.5million was recognized in 2014 as a result of our deconsolidation of GWPL since January 1, 2014, which mainly represented the difference between (i) the carrying amount of net liabilities of GWPL, including goodwill allocated to it, and the carrying amount of GWPL's non-controlling interest, and (ii) the carrying amount of GWPL as a joint venture, which was nil. There was no such gain in 2013.

Profit / (Loss)Before Income Tax

Profit before income tax was RMB399.0 million (US$64.3 million) for the full year 2014, compared to loss before income tax of RMB725.9 million in 2013.

Income Tax (Expense) / Benefit

Income tax expense was RMB44.5 million (US$7.2 million) for the full year 2014, compared to income tax benefit of RMB78.4 million in 2013, primarily due to profit before tax recorded during the full year 2014.

Total Comprehensive Income/(Loss) and Earnings/(Loss) per Share

As a result of the cumulative effects of the factors discussed above, total comprehensive income for the full year 2014 was RMB350.0 million (US$56.4million), compared to comprehensive loss of RMB656.1 million in 2013.

For the full year 2014, basic and diluted earnings per share were RMB2.90 (US$0.47) and RMB2.86 (US$0.46), respectively, compared to basic and diluted loss per share of RMB4.12 and RMB4.12, respectively, in 2013.
