is testament to our commitment of offering superior products and services to

Third Quarter 2012 Unaudited Financial Results

Revenue

Revenue in the third quarter of 2012 was RMB787.8 million (US$125.3 million),
representing a decrease of 58.6% from RMB1,904.8 million in the corresponding
period in 2011. WTGs for which revenue was recognized amounted to an
equivalent wind power project output of 228MW, or 152 units of 1.5MW WTGs,
compared to 555MW, or 370 units of 1.5MW WTGs, for the corresponding period in
2011. The decrease in revenue in the third quarter was primarily due to the
overall weakened market demand for WTGs in China.

As of September 30, 2012, the Company installed 33 units of WTGs which were
commissioned through its EPC program but the funding to the project developer
was subject to final approval by local banks. As a result, in keeping with its
revenue recognition policy, the Company did not recognize revenue of
approximately RMB160.0 million (US$25.5 million) for these 33 units of WTGs
during this quarter.

Gross Profit and Gross Margin

Gross profit in the third quarter of 2012 was RMB137.2 million (US$21.8
million), representing a decrease of 55.1% from RMB305.6 million for the
corresponding period in 2011. Gross margin in the third quarter of 2012 was
17.4%, compared to 16.0% for the corresponding period in 2011. The decline in
gross profit was a result of weakened demand overall. The gross margin,
however, improved 1.4% year-over-year, primarily due to the favorable mix of
higher margin sales contracts for WTGs recognized during the third quarter of
2012.

Selling and Distribution Expenses

Selling and distribution expenses were RMB38.1 million (US$6.1 million) for
the third quarter of 2012, compared to RMB61.4 million for the corresponding
period in 2011, representing a decrease of 37.9%, primarily due to the
decreased transportation expenses as a result of fewer number of WTGs
deliveries, less bidding charges incurred due to less bidding activities and
less share-based compensation expenses incurred during the period.

Administrative Expenses

Administrative expenses were RMB59.3 million (US$9.4 million) for the third
quarter of 2012, compared to RMB87.1 million for the corresponding period in
2011, representing a decrease of 31.9%, primarily due to the fact that there
was a provision of receivables of RMB28.7 million in the third quarter of 2011
whereas there was a RMB4.7 million (US$0.7 million) provision in the
corresponding period in 2012.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses were RMB23.4 million (US$3.7 million) for
the third quarter of 2012, compared to RMB19.2 million for the corresponding
period in 2011, representing an increase of 21.9%. This increase was primarily
due to the fact that the Company is currently carrying out more wind turbine
development projects, resulting in an increase in staff costs with more
engineers employed, and higher material consumption and depreciation charges.

Net Finance Expense

Net finance expense was RMB21.0 million (US$3.3 million) for the third quarter
of 2012, compared to RMB16.3 million in the corresponding period of 2011.

Profit Before Income Tax Expense

Profit before income tax expense was RMB11.1 million (US$1.8 million) for the
third quarter of 2012, compared to RMB131.1 million in the corresponding
period of 2011.

Income Tax Expense

Income tax expense was RMB7.9 million (US$1.3 million) for the third quarter
of 2012, compared to RMB28.4 million in the corresponding period of 2011.

Total Comprehensive Income and Earnings per Share

Total comprehensive income for the third quarter of 2012 was RMB4.9 million
(US$0.8 million), compared to RMB88.4 million in the corresponding period of
2011.

For the third quarter of 2012, basic and diluted earnings per share was
RMB0.03 (US$0.005), compared to RMB0.82 for the corresponding period in 2011.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2012 were RMB1,470.2 million
(US$233.9 million), compared to RMB1,339.5 million as of December 31, 2011.

Business Update

Order Book Update

New Sales Contracts – During the third quarter of 2012, Ming Yang entered into
sales contracts for wind power projects with a total output of 302MW,
representing 37 units of 1.5MW WTGs and 123 units of 2.0MW WTGs.

Order Backlog – As of September 30, 2012, the Company's order backlog amounted
to 2.2 GW, representing 1,136 units of 1.5MW WTGs, 123 units of 2.0MW WTGs, 67
units of 2.5-3.0MW SCD WTGs and 1 unit of 6.0 MW SCD WTG. Cumulative signed
orders since its inception amounted to 5.6GW, representing 3,417 units of
1.5MW WTGs, 123 units of 2.0MW WTGs, 84 units of 2.5-3.0MW SCD WTGs and 1 unit
of 6.0MW SCD WTG.
