          Group received the “5A” logistics qualification certificate from China Federation of Logistic & Purchasing, being the only
        
        
          enterprise in the domestic telecommunications industry which has obtained such certificate, and  set up and operated China
        
        
          Comservice Supply Chain Management Company Ltd. It indicated a promising start for the synergistic operation of high value
        
        
          businesses and obtained relatively large market share from China Telecom’s “E surfing” terminals logistic distribution business. In
        
        
          2015, the Group adhered to the principle of “efficient development” to expand its Distribution business and to control the
        
        
          development of businesses with low efficiency. Revenue from Distribution business amounted to RMB19,489 million,
        
        
          representing a year-on-year decrease of 0.6%. Nonetheless, revenue from supply chain service, being the key Distribution
        
        
          businesses, achieved a growth of 10.9%.
        
        
          The Group provides general facilities management services to domestic telecommunications operators and domestic non-operator
        
        
          customers for their data centres, cloud computing centres, commercial buildings, high-end residential buildings, high-speed
        
        
          railway stations and airports, including their property, equipment, assets and energy-saving management. The Group proactively
        
        
          promoted intelligent building and smart community, and is proactively building up brands for its business. In 2015, revenue from
        
        
          the general facilities management business of the Group was RMB3,769 million, representing a year-on-year growth of 8.6%.
        
        
          The Group believes that the OPEX business of domestic telecommunications operators have enormous room and potential to
        
        
          grow, whilst the domestic non-operator customers also have strong demands in business process outsourcing services. The
        
        
          business process outsourcing business is characterized by high customer loyalty, low accounts receivable turnover days and good
        
        
          cash flow. The Group will further focus its resources on key business sectors for professional operation to realize scale and
        
        
          efficient development.
