In addition, Anhui CEFC enjoyed a year-on-year increase of operating profit and total profit in 2014, which was attributed to the following reasons:


On one hand, the performance growth of Anhui Linearfull Modern Agriculture Co., Ltd. together with a substantial increase in gain on investment from its shareholder, Shanghai Shounong Investment Holdings Limited, leading to an incremental profit in Anhui CEFC.


On the other hand, the rising price of monosultap and cartap, the company’s leading products, drove up the products’ gross profit margin.
