Chairman's Statement

Two years ago we undertook to increase our sales and to at least maintain our earnings. We published this commitment in order to demonstrate our resolve to lead the business successfully through the demanding period following the expiry of patents which had given us the exclusive right to develop two of our major products.

两年前我们承诺增加我们的销售,至少能维持我们的盈利. 我们公布了这一承诺,为了表明我们能在专利到期后成功的领导我们的业务,这些专利授予了我们开发两项主要产品的专有权。

I am very pleased to ** report** that we achieved what we set **out ** to do. We have achieved increases of 4% and 6% in sales and earnings respectively . This comes despite considerable losses resulting the expiry of the patents. It is testimony to depth and vitality of our portfolio of medicines that we have been able to survive the largest single patent expiry our industry has known.

我很高兴的宣布我们已经取得了我们开始设定的目标。我们已经分别在销售和盈利方面达到了4%和6%的增长。尽管由于专利的到期带来了相当大的损失,但这一刻还是到来了。这证明了我们药物产品组合的深度和活力,我们已经能够在我们行业所知道的最大的单一专利中存活了下来。

I am confident that the continuation of this performance, together with the contribution of five new products currently being launched, will enable us to deliver the final part of our target, namely to achieve sales and earnings growth in double figures next year.

伴随着5个新产品的上线的贡献,我对能公司能持续这样的表现非常自信, 这将使我们能完成我们目标的最后一部分,即取得销售和盈利在明年翻倍。

The power and pace of technological and scientific development, combined with economic and social pressures ,are forcing huge changes in our industry. The successful companies of the future will be those that anticipate and respond to this change, integrate new technologies effectively, and are closest to their customers. I have full confidence in our ability to remain a major player in our industry.

科技和科学发展的力量和速度,加上经济和社会压力,迫使我们的行业发生巨大的变化。未来成功的公司将是这些能期待和对变化做出回应的公司,有效的能整合新的技术,并且和他们的客户紧密的在一起。我对我们在行业中保持这样的能力充满信心。
