The company's gross profit margin in the third quarter was 26.98%, up 9.91 percentage points from the same period last year and 4.86 percentage points higher than in the second quarter. The increase in gross profit margin is mainly due to the low operation of raw material prices and the decline in company costs.

There is no significant improvement in performance, resumption of trading or hopelessness. The company's main business is automotive air conditioning and pressure vessels. Judging from the company's performance, it has not been able to benefit from the recovery of the automobile market, and it is now winter, the company's air-conditioning business is in the off-season period, it is expected that the fourth quarter performance will not improve much. The company has been suspended and delisted since 2006, considering that the company's performance has not improved significantly, its resumption of trading may be hopeless.
