Mr. Yongjun Liu,Chairman of the Company,commented: "We are continuing to improve our operational efficiency and upgrade our product offerings while increasing our market coverage to expand the Company's presence. I would like to thank the entire MHUA team for their commitment to active sales and product development in the first half of the year,our distributors for their smooth cooperation,and our customers and investors for their trust in us. Together we will work to continually improve our products and product offerings to provide better care for our products' end users. At the same time,our board of directors together with the Company's management,are also actively recruiting high-end overseas professionals to strengthen R&D of new products and team management capabilities. Beginning with Q4 of this year,Meihua will begin working with our partners to explore the different application scenarios of medical devices by using web3.0 and XR technology in the metaverse,and also,we're planning to launch a high-end senior care project. We are aiming to expand our products and services to the U.S. market by the end of 2023. We are also aiming to further our market reach and extend our progress in the near future."

Mr. Yulin Wang,CEO and interim CFO of the Company,commented: "We are pleased to announce record performance and stable operational cash flow for the first half of 2022 following the Company's successful IPO earlier this year. We reported 13% and 14% growth,respectively,in revenues and gross profit for the six months ended June 30,and our gross margin also maintained at 38%,similar to that of the same period last year,demonstrating that our sales and marketing efforts in the Company's focused markets have started to bear fruit. In particular,our sales from Class I medical devices increased by 25% from the same period last year. Despite the multiple changes resulting from China's epidemic policy,which partially impacted our product sales margins,we still managed to quickly adapt to the stress test presented throughout the Yangtze Delta Region Covid-19 pandemic that disrupted our supply chain and increased raw material and logistics costs during the first half of this year. Our team is confident that we can align our business direction and strategic objectives to achieve long-term stable and sustainable performance growth in the post-epidemic era."
