In a statement filed to the Shanghai Stock Exchange, Haier said its total value of assets increased 8.39 percent year from a year earlier to 31.7 billion yuan as of the end of March this year.

Earnings per share soared 47.21 percent year-on-year to 0.396 yuan, said the statement.

Haier attributed the profit surge mainly to an export boom and tax rebates.
