One of the main reasons was that commodity housing sales rebounded significantly in 2013, leading to a relatively higher comparative figure for 2014. When compared with the same period of 2012, the sales area of commodity housing in China in the first quarter of 2014 increased by 33.2%. In early 2013, the growth rate of housing sales in 14 major cities, namely Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Tianjin, Shenyang, Hangzhou, Nanjing, Chengdu, Wuhan, Dongguan, Foshan, Wuxi and Suzhou, was higher than the national growth rate. During the reporting period, housing sales in these cities declined considerably when compared with the same period of 2013. The sales area of residential properties in the 14 cities in the first quarter of 2014 saw a year-on-year drop of 27.5%, while the sales area of commodity housing to approved pre-sales area of new housing ratio was 1.0. The new supply and sales were basically balanced. As at the end of March, inventory of saleable new homes (those that have obtained sales permit but have not yet been sold) in the above-mentioned 14 cities was 122 million sq m, which was basically the same as that at the end of 2013. During the reporting period ,the site area supplied and sold in 16 major cities (Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Dongguan, Foshan, Shanghai, Hangzhou, Nanjing, Suzhou, Ningbo, Beijing, Tianjin, Shenyang, Dalian, Chengdu, Wuhan and Chongqing) where statistics are accessible by the public decreased by 1.5% and 5.9% respectively, on a year-on-year basis. The land sales in major cities have slowed down after entering March. Although the average land transaction price remained at a high level, the proportion of land lots changed hands at a premium decreased when compared to the peak in the third quarter of last year. During the reporting period, the Company continued to implement its mainstream positioning and proactive sales strategy. In the first quarter, the Company achieved an accumulated sales area of 4,150,000 sq m, with a sales amount of RMB54.23 billion, representing year-on-year increases of 11.7% and 24.2% respectively. Among the commodity housing units sold, homes smaller than 144 sq 3 m took up 93.8%. In Guangshen region, the Company realized a sales area of 1,077,000 sq m and sales amount of RMB14.98 billion. In Shanghai region, the Company realized a sales area of 1,329,000 sq m and sales amount of RMB19.29 billion. In Beijing region, the Company realized a sales area of 925,000 sq m and a sales amount of RMB12.49 billion. In Chengdu region, the Company realized a sales area of 819,000 sq m and sales amount of RMB7.46 billion. There is a certain seasonal trend for project completion and recognition in the property industry. A majority of the projects are completed and recognised in the second half of the year, especially in the fourth quarter. Since the amount of project completion and booked area in the first quarter accounted for a relatively small proportion of the full year’s total, which led to a relatively large year-on-year change, the booked items for the first quarter were insignificant reference for the outlook for the full-year operating results. In the first quarter of 2014, the Company's completed area amounted to 984,000, accounting for only 6.6% of the planned area to be completed for the full year, which was lower than that of previous years. Affected by this, the Company realized a booked area and booked revenue of 727,000 sq m and RMB8.58 billion respectively for the first quarter, representing year-on-year decreases of 41.1% and 31.6% respectively. Meanwhile, the Company realized revenue and net profit of RMB9.01 billion and RMB1.53 billion respectively, representing year-on-year decreases of 31.7% and 5.2% respectively. The Company expected that the area to be completed for the full year of 2014 will basically meet the target set at the beginning of the year, while the operating results are expected to continue to grow steadily in 2014. During the reporting period, the Company’s net profit margin increased significantly, mainly attributable to the following reasons: 1) Booked gross profit margin of the Company’s property business rose by 3.59 percentage points from that of the corresponding period of last year to 31.99% of the reporting period due to a higher percentage of booked revenue contribution from cities with high profit margin such as Shanghai and Shenzhen in the first quarter. 2) The Company realized other net income of RMB537 million in the reporting period, increased by RMB518 million when compared with the corresponding period last year, which was mainly contributable from income from collaborative projects through equity transfer and income from disposal of commercial properties through equity transfer; 3) The share of profit from the Company’s associates and joint ventures amounted to be RMB236 million, increased by approximately RMB201 million from that in the corresponding period last year. The Company is actively exploring and promoting light asset operational model. The scope of cooperation will be broadened in future, and associates and joint ventures will account for a greater percentage in the Company’s overall operation. The Company will also be involved in more activities of introducing partners by disposing certain equity interests in a project, and engaging in the operation of investment properties disposed of through equity transfer. With light asset operational model, the Company, under normal conditions, still engages in the management and operation of development projects or investment properties, despite certain equity interests in these projects or investment properties being disposed of by the Company or the fact that Company has only a relatively small percentage of shareholding in certain joint-venture projects or investment properties. As such, the Company can receive a certain amount of management fee, or request a share of profit higher than its shareholding percentage. Such arrangement is beneficial for the Company to increase its return on equity. As at the end of the reporting period, the Company had an area of 17,105,000 sq m sold but not yet booked stated in the consolidated statements as construction had yet to be completed. This area and its 4 corresponding contract amount of approximately RMB195.57 billion represented increases of 19.0% and 20.5% respectively when compared with those at the beginning of the year. During the reporting period, the Company acquired 8 new development projects, with a site area attributable to Vanke's equity holding of approximately 462,000 sq m, representing a planned GFA of approximately 1,348,000 sq m, and an average land premium basing on floor area of approximately RMB4,535 per sq m. The Company will continue to pursue prudent land acquisition strategy. While persevering with strict control of investment risks, the Company will make proper land bank replenishment according to actual development needs. In the first quarter, the Company achieved a floor area of housing starts of 4,200,000 sq m, accounting for 18.8% of the full year plan for housing starts. As the floor area of housing starts will gradually increase, the Company expects that its floor area of housing starts for the full year will be higher than that set at the beginning of the year. As at the end of the reporting period, the Company’s net gearing ratio was 40.9%, while the cash and cash equivalents including the pledged deposit held by the Company amounted to RMB37.53 billion, which was more than the sum of short-term borrowings and long-term borrowings due within one year of RMB27.91 billion. The Company had a sound and solid financial position. §4 Significant Events 4.1 Significant changes and reasons for such changes in major items of the accounting statements and financial guidance of the Company √Applicable □Not applicable 31 December 31 March 2014 Change Items 2013 Reasons for change (RMB'000) (+/-) (RMB'000) Trade and other receivables 81,681,629 68,218,739 19.73% Expansion of operating scale Interest in joint ventures 8,107,327 6,897,969 17.53% Increase of joint-venture projects.

A-Share Stock Option Incentive Scheme On 8 April 2011, the first extraordinary general meeting of the Company passed the Company’s A-Share Stock Option Incentive Scheme (Revised Draft) and related matters. Implementation of the Company’s A-Share Stock Option Incentive Scheme (“Scheme”) thus commenced. On 9 May 2011, the registration of the grant of stock options was completed. The Company granted 108,435,000 5 stock options to 810 beneficiaries. The abbreviation of the stock options is Vanke JLC1, while the stock option code is 037015. The initial exercise price of the stock options was RMB8.89. The Company implemented the proposal on dividend distribution for the year 2010 on 27 May 2011, and distributed a cash dividend of RMB1.0 (including tax) to all shareholders for every 10 existing shares held. In accordance with the relevant regulations and the resolutions passed at the shareholders meeting, the Board made an adjustment to the exercise price of the stock options to RMB8.79. The Company implemented the proposal on dividend distribution for the year 2011 on 5 July 2012, and distributed a cash dividend of RMB1.3 (including tax) to all shareholders for every 10 existing shares held. The Company made an adjustment to the exercise price according to the provisions. The adjusted exercise price was RMB8.66. The Company implemented the proposal on dividend distribution for the year 2012 on 16 May 2013, and distributed a cash dividend of RMB1.8 (including tax) to all shareholders for every 10 existing shares held.

The beneficiaries of the Scheme could exercise 40% of their options during the exercisable period between 12 July 2012 and 24 April 2014. On 29 May 2013, the second exercise period of the Scheme commenced. The beneficiaries of the Scheme could exercise 30% of their options between 29 May 2013 and 24 April 2015. During the reporting period, no options were exercised. Since certain beneficiaries became members of the Supervisory Committee or left the Company, the total number of stock options granted but not yet exercised decreased to 68,426,799 at the end of the reporting period. The introduction of the Scheme complements the Company’s incentive instruments with a long-term plan, while establishing a check-and-balance mechanism between shareholders and professional management team through linking up their interests. The Scheme will further improve the Company’s corporate governance structure and strengthen the Company’s competitiveness. 2.
