Currently RMB has appreciated by RMB 0.6814 and RMB to USD appreciation rate has accumulated to be 8.23%. Since major aviation companies averagely hold a large sum of net foreign currency liabilities, sustained RMB appreciation will bring reductions in foreign currency liabilities valuated by RMB as well as a large sum of exchange net incomes. In accordance with 2006 fiscal reports of aviation companies, China Southern Airlines Company Limited is the aviation company most affected by RMB appreciation. For per 1% RMB appreciation, its EPS will increase by RMB 0.083. Followings are China Eastern Airlines Corporation Limited and Shanghai Airlines Co., Ltd. since Air China Limited holds the lowest ratio of foreign currency liabilities and largest equities, it is least sensitive to RMB appreciation and only an effect of RMB 0.016 is brought on its EPS by per 1% RMB appreciation.

In the second half of 2007, RMB appreciation is also possible. It will be one important factor for promoting profit improvement and stock price growth of aviation companies.
