Chinese appliance maker Midea Group said that its net profits in 2008 were down 14.78% year-on-year to 1.03 billion yuan (approx. US$151 million), though its operating revenue rose 28.77% year-on-year. The company attributed the loss to the fluctuation of exchange rates and wavering prices of raw materials.
