LETTER FROM THE BOARD

In view of the increase of business co-operation between the Company and some of the Subsidiaries of Hisense Group, the Board announces that on 19 May 2009, the Company entered into the Supplemental Business Co-operation Framework Agreement with certain Subsidiaries of Hisense Group to revise the annual caps for the year ending 31 December 2009 for some of the transactions under the Business Co-operation Framework Agreement.

Hisense Air-conditioning is a substantial shareholder of the Company, holding approximately 25.22% of the total issued shares capital of the Company. Each of Hisense Group, being the indirect holding company of Hisense Air-conditioning, and its Subsidiaries are Associates of Hisense Air-Conditioning and therefore connected persons of the Company. As such, the transactions contemplated under the Supplemental Business Co-operation Framework Agreement constitute continuing connected transactions of the Company under the Listing Rules and should be aggregated for the purpose of Rules 14A.25 to 14A.27 of the Listing Rules. Given that the applicable percentage ratios (other than the profit ratio) for the aggregated amount for the transactions contemplated under the Business Co-operation Framework Agreement as supplemented by the Supplemental Business Co-operation Framework Agreement is more than 2.5%, the continuing connected transactions contemplated under the Supplemental Business Co-operation Framework Agreement are subject to reporting, announcement and independent shareholders’ approval requirements under Rule 14A.35 of the Listing Rules.

The purpose of this circular is to provide you with details of the Supplemental Business Co- operation Framework Agreement, to set out the recommendation of the Independent Board Committee and to set out the letter of advice from Access Capital to the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders in respect of the terms of the Supplemental Business Co-operation Framework Agreement.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The above revised annual caps were determined with reference to (i) the rapid growth of domestic demand for home appliances, such as refrigerators and air-conditioners; (ii) the sales of electrical appliances of the Company boosted by the aforesaid factor in (i); (iii) the acceleration of product turnover and the enlargement of market share through OEM; (iv) the adoption of the “Home Appliances Subsidy Policy for Rural Villages (家電下鄉政 策)” by the PRC government which resulted in the increase in demand for home appliances and (v) the original annual caps estimated at the beginning of the year not able to meet the current requirement of the business development of the Company.

The Company confirms that the transaction amounts under the Business Co-operation Framework Agreement for the period from 1 January 2009 to the Latest Practicable Date have not exceeded the original annual caps.

Save and except the revision of the annual caps as set out above, all other terms and conditions under the Business Co-operation Framework Agreement shall remain unchanged.

Condition

The Supplemental Business Co-operation Framework Agreement is subject to the approval of the Independent Shareholders at the AGM.

REASONS FOR THE REVISION OF THE ANNUAL CAPS

The original annual caps for the year ending 31 December 2009 for the sale and supply of refrigerators, air-conditioners, raw materials and components, purchase of refrigerators and the provision of certain services were determined with consideration of the possible effects of global economic downturn in the PRC. As a result of the adoption of the “Home Appliances Subsidy Policy for Rural Villages (家電下鄉政策)” by the PRC government to improve the living standard of rural population through subsidising the purchase of home appliances in certain rural areas, the sales of electrical appliances of the Company increased in the past few months. The Company expects that its sale of refrigerators, airconditioners, raw materials and components, purchase of refrigerators and the provision of certain services in 2009 will exceed the original annual caps for 2009 and therefore needs to increase the annual caps for these transactions to accommodate such expected increase in sale.

— 7 —

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

For the reasons stated above, the Company proposes to revise the original annual caps for certain transactions under the Business Co-operation Framework Agreement. In view of the above, the Board considers that the revised annual caps under the Supplemental Business Co-operation Framework Agreement are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

Hisense Kelon Electrical Holdings Company Limited

Dear Sirs,

CONTINUING CONNECTED TRANACTIONS

INTRODUCTION

We refer to our appointment as the independent financial adviser to the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders in respect of the Supplemental Business Co-operation Framework Agreement, details of which are set out in the circular to the Shareholders dated 8 June 2009 (the “Circular”), of which this letter forms part. This letter contains our advice to the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders in respect of the Supplemental Business Co-operation Framework Agreement. Unless otherwise stated, terms defined in the Circular have the same meanings in this letter.

On 19 May 2009, the Board announced that the Company entered into the Supplemental Business Co-operation Framework Agreement with certain Subsidiaries of Hisense Group to revise the annual caps for the year ending 31 December 2009 for some of the transactions under the Business Co-operation Framework Agreement. The transactions contemplated under the Business Co-operation Framework Agreement dated 12 February 2009 entered into between the Company and certain Subsidiaries of Hisense Group have

— 13 —

LETTER FROM ACCESS CAPITAL

constituted continuing connected transactions (the “Continuing Connected Transactions”) of the Company under the Listing Rules and, together with the original annual caps, were approved by the Independent Shareholders at the extraordinary general meeting of the Company held on 25 March 2009.

As in the case of the Business Co-operation Framework Agreement, the transactions contemplated under the Supplemental Business Co-operation Framework Agreement constitute continuing connected transactions of the Company under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules and should be aggregated for the purpose of Rules 14A.25 to 14A.27 of the Listing Rules. Given that the applicable percentage ratios (other than the profit ratio) for the aggregated amount for the transactions contemplated under the Business Cooperation Framework Agreement as supplemented by the Supplemental Business Cooperation Framework Agreement is more than 2.5%, the continuing connected transactions contemplated under the Supplemental Business Co-operation Framework Agreement are subject to reporting, announcement and independent shareholders’ approval requirements under Rule 14A.35 of the Listing Rules.

The Independent Board Committee, comprising all the independent non-executive Directors, has been formed to advise the Independent Shareholders as to whether the revision of the annual caps for the Continuing Connected Transactions is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole, and the terms of the Supplemental Business Co-operation Framework Agreement including the proposed revised annual caps are fair and reasonable. As the independent financial adviser to the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders, our role is to give an independent opinion to the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders as to (i) whether or not the revision of the annual caps under the Supplemental Business Co-operation Framework Agreement is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole; (ii) whether or not the terms of the Supplemental Business Co-operation Framework Agreement, including the proposed revised annual caps, are fair and reasonable; and (iii) how the Independent Shareholders should vote in respect of the resolution to approve the Supplemental Business Co-operation Framework Agreement and the revised annual caps at the relevant general meeting of the Company.

BASIS OF OUR OPINION

In formulating our advice, we have relied solely on the statements, information, opinions and representations contained in the Circular and the information and representations provided to us by the Company and/or the Directors. We have assumed that all such statements, information, opinions and representations contained or referred to in the Circular or otherwise provided or made or given by the Company and/or its senior

— 14 —

LETTER FROM ACCESS CAPITAL

management staff and/or the Directors and for which it is/they are solely responsible were true and accurate and valid at the time they were made and given and continue to be true and valid as at the date of the Circular. We have assumed that all the opinions and representations made or provided by the Directors and/or the senior management staff of the Company contained in the Circular have been reasonably made after due and careful enquiry. We have also sought and obtained confirmation from the Company and/or its senior management staff and/or the Directors that no material facts have been omitted from the information provided and referred to in the Circular.

We consider that we have reviewed all information and documents which are made available to us to enable us to reach an informed view and to justify our reliance on the information provided so as to provide a reasonable basis for our advice. We have no reason to doubt the truth, accuracy and completeness of the statements, information, opinions and representations provided to us by the Company and/or its senior management staff and/or the Directors and their respective advisers or to believe that material information has been withheld or omitted from the information provided to us or referred to in the aforesaid documents. We have not, however, carried out any independent verification of the information provided, nor have we conducted any independent investigation into the business and affairs of the Group.

PRINCIPAL FACTORS CONSIDERED

In formulating our opinion regarding the Continuing Connected Transactions, we have taken into consideration the following principal factors:

I. Background information and reasons for the Supplemental Business Cooperation Framework Agreement

The principal activities of the Company and Hisense Group are similar and both include the manufacture and sales of household electrical appliances including air-conditioners and refrigerators and the provision of related services. Hisense Air-conditioning, a Subsidiary of Hisense Group, is a substantial shareholder of the Company, holding 25.22% of the issued shares of the Company. Given the keen competition in the white goods market in the PRC and in view of the substantial interest of Hisense Group in the Company, the Directors consider that there are business co-operation arrangements which can be beneficial to both the Company and Hisense Group in terms of the enhancement of the competitiveness of both sides as the respective Subsidiaries of the Company and Hisense Group are complementary to each other with respect to their geographic locations and distributions. Such co-operation arrangements can reduce the transportation time for

— 15 —

LETTER FROM ACCESS CAPITAL

product delivery and improve the market responsiveness for both sides. In addition, they can also help to reduce the idling capacity of the production facilities of the relevant parties so that there are more effective utilisations of the production fixed costs. Accordingly, in view of the anticipated benefits to be brought by the business co-operation between the Company and the relevant Subsidiaries of Hisense Group, the relevant parties entered into the Business Co-operation Framework Agreement on 12 February 2009, pursuant to which the Company conditionally agreed that it and any of its Subsidiaries might enter into certain transactions with the relevant Subsidiaries of Hisense Group in respect of the sale and supply of moulds, airconditioners, refrigerators, raw materials and components, the purchase of airconditioners, refrigerators, raw materials, components and moulds, and the provision of property management services and after-sales maintenance, repair and consultation services.

Having constituted the non-exempt continuing connected transactions under the Listing Rules which were subject to the reporting, announcement and independent shareholders’ approval requirements, the transactions contemplated under the Business Co-operation Framework Agreement and the relevant annual caps were subsequently approved by the Independent Shareholders at the extraordinary general meeting of the Company held on 25 March 2009. Since then, the Company and its Subsidiaries have conducted the Continuing Connected Transactions with Subsidiaries of Hisense Group in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Business Co-operation Framework Agreement.

As stated in the Letter from the Board, as a result of the adoption of the “Home Appliances Subsidy Policy for Rural Villages(家電下鄉政策)” by the PRC government to improve the living standard of rural population through subsidising the purchase of home appliances in certain rural areas, the sales of electrical appliances of the Company increased in the past few months. In view of the increase in demand for such products, the Company expects that its sale of air-conditioners, refrigerators, raw materials and components, purchase of refrigerators and the provision of certain services in 2009 under the Business Co-operation Framework Agreement will exceed its original expectation in the beginning of 2009 when the Business Co-operation Framework Agreement was entered into. The Company expects that there will be an increase in certain transaction amounts contemplated under the Business Co-operation Framework Agreement during the peak seasons in the second half of 2009 and anticipates that certain existing annual caps (the “Existing Annual Caps”) under the Business Co-operation Framework Agreement will not be sufficient to cover the anticipated increases.

— 16 —

LETTER FROM ACCESS CAPITAL

Accordingly, the Company proposes to revise certain Existing Annual Caps by way of the Supplemental Business Co-operation Framework Agreement. The Board considers that the revised annual caps (the “Revised Annual Caps”) under the Supplemental Business Co-operation Framework Agreement are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

We, having considered that (i) the Business Co-operation Framework Agreement and the Existing Annual Caps have already been formally approved by the Independent Shareholders pursuant to the relevant requirements of the Listing Rules; (ii) the Continuing Connected Transactions have been and will continue to be carried out by the Group in its ordinary and usual course of business and in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Business Co-operation Framework Agreement which are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole; (iii) other than the revision of certain Existing Annual Caps as proposed under the Supplemental Business Co-operation Framework Agreement, the terms and conditions of the Business Co-operation Framework Agreement will remain unchanged; and (iv) the actual transaction value of certain Continuing Connected Transactions up to 30 April 2009 have already accounted for a substantial proportion of the relevant Existing Annual Caps (further details of the actual transaction value of the relevant continuing connected transactions from up to 30 April 2009 are set out in the section headed “Rationale for determining the Revised Annual Caps” below), are of the view that the Supplemental Business Co-operation Framework Agreement is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

II. Rationale for determining the Revised Annual Caps

Under the Supplemental Business Co-operation Framework Agreement, the Existing Annual Caps relating to the sale and supply of air-conditioners, refrigerators and raw materials and components, purchase of refrigerators and the provision of aftersale maintenance, repair and consultation services and electronic communication services under the Business Co-operation Framework Agreement shall be revised as follows:

As stated in the Letter from the Board, the Revised Annual Caps were determined with reference to (i) the rapid growth of domestic demand for home appliances, such as refrigerators and air-conditioners; (ii) the sales of electrical appliances of the Company boosted by the aforesaid factor in (i); (iii) the acceleration of product turnover and the enlargement of market share through OEM; (iv) the adoption of the “Home Appliances Subsidy Policy for Rural Villages(家電下鄉政策)” by the PRC government which resulted in the increase in demand for home appliances and (v) the original annual caps estimated at the beginning of the year not able to meet the current requirement of the business development of the Company.

In view of the fact that the Revised Annual Caps were arrived at after taking into account the expected increase in sales as boosted by the adoption of the “Home Appliances Subsidy Policy for Rural Villages(家電下鄉政策)” (the “Subsidy Policy”) by the PRC government which resulted in the increase in demand for home

appliances, we have reviewed the Subsidy Policy and its effect on domestic demand for home appliances. Pursuant to the Subsidy Policy, the PRC government would provide a 13% subsidy to farmers who bought designated brands of color TV sets, refrigerators, mobile phones, motorcycles, personal computers, water heaters and air-conditioners in the rural areas in the PRC.

We have also discussed with the management of the Company about the underlying assumptions, their basis as well as the projection of the relevant variables such as market share and product market price and we are of the view that such assumptions and basis are fair and reasonable. For the purpose of ensuring the accuracy of the computation of the Revised Annual Caps, we have also carried out a review on the relevant worksheets for calculation of the relevant annual caps including the review on the quantities and the unit prices of the subject items. Based on the result of our review, we are satisfied that the calculation of the proposed Revised Annual Caps has been conducted on a fair and reasonable basis.

For comparison among the actual transaction value of the relevant Continuing Connected Transactions, the Existing Annual Caps and the Revised Annual Caps, the following table sets out the respective percentages as represented by the actual transaction value of the relevant Continuing Connected Transactions up to 30 April 2009 over the Existing Annual Caps and the Revised Annual Caps.

LETTER FROM ACCESS CAPITAL

The actual transaction value of approximately RMB11.1 million for the sale and supply of air-conditioners up to 30 April 2009 represents about 13.9% and 11.1% of the relevant Existing Annual Cap of RMB80,000,000 and Revised Annual Cap of RMB100,000,000, respectively. The Revised Annual Cap of RMB100,000,000 represents an increase of 25% over the Existing Annual Cap of RMB80,000,000. As advised by the Company, while the actual transaction value up to 30 April 2009 appears to be moderate and has accounted for only about 13.9% of the relevant Existing Annual Cap, such transaction value is expected to increase substantially during the peak season in the second half of 2009. Accordingly, we concur with the Directors’ view that it is necessary to revise the relevant Existing Annual Cap so as to cover for the anticipated transaction value of such Continuing Connected Transactions under the revised estimation. As the Revised Annual Cap represents an increase of 25% over the Existing Annual Cap, we are of the view that the Revised Annual Cap of RMB100,000,000 for the sale and supply of air-conditioners by the relevant Subsidiaries of the Company to the relevant Subsidiaries of Hisense Group is fair and reasonable.

The actual transaction value of approximately RMB184,773,571 for the sale and supply of refrigerators up to 30 April 2009 represents about 47.6% and 23.2% of the relevant Existing Annual Cap of RMB387,920,000 and Revised Annual Cap of RMB797,920,000, respectively. In view of the fact that such actual transaction value up to 30 April 2009 has already accounted for a substantial portion of the Existing Annual Cap for the year ending 31 December 2009, we concur with the management view that it is necessary to revise the relevant Existing Annual Cap so as to cover for the anticipated transaction value of such Continuing Connected Transactions under the revised estimation. We note that the Revised Annual Cap of RMB797,920,000 represents a significant increase over the Existing Annual Cap of RMB387,920,000. We understand from the Company that in order to save on overhead costs, in particular, transportation costs to rural towns, the relevant Subsidiaries of the Company and the relevant Subsidiaries of Hisense Group increased the cooperation in purchasing and supplying refrigerators to each other. In the anticipation of the peak season in the second half of 2009 and the existing significant amount of the relevant transaction value, we are of the view that the Revised Annual Cap of RMB797,920,000 for the sale and supply of refrigerators for the year ending 31 December 2009 is fair and reasonable.

As regards the actual transaction value for the sale and supply of raw materials and components up to 30 April 2009, such value of approximately RMB19.2 million represents about 8.4% and 7.7% of the relevant Existing Annual Cap of RMB227,600,000 and Revised Annual Cap of RMB247,600,000, respectively. In the

— 21 —

LETTER FROM ACCESS CAPITAL

case of the sale and supply of raw materials and components, the Revised Annual Cap of RMB247,600,000 represents an increase of about 8.8% over the relevant Existing Annual Cap of RMB227,600,000. As advised by the Company, while the actual transaction value up to 30 April 2009 appears to be moderate and has accounted for only about 8.4% of the relevant Existing Annual Cap, such transaction value is expected to increase substantially during the peak season in the second half of 2009. Given that (i) the increased demand for home appliances which lead to the increasing demand of raw materials and components for the production of home appliances from the relevant Subsidiaries of Hisense Group and (ii) the Revised Annual Cap represents a modest increase of 8.8% over the Existing Annual Cap, we are of the view that the Revised Annual Cap of RMB247,600,000 for the sale and supply of raw materials and components for the year ending 31 December 2009 is fair and reasonable.

As regards to the purchase of refrigerators by the relevant Subsidiaries of the Company from the relevant Subsidiaries of Hisense Group up to 30 April 2009, the actual transaction value for the purchase of refrigerators of approximately RMB282.7 million represents about 70.7% and 34.5% of the relevant Existing Annual Cap of RMB400 million and Revised Annual Cap of RMB820 million, respectively. As stated above, in order to save on overhead costs, in particular, transportation costs to rural towns, the relevant Subsidiaries of the Company and the relevant Subsidiaries of Hisense Group increased the cooperation in purchasing and supplying refrigerators to each other. In view of the fact that such actual transaction value up to 30 April 2009 has already accounted for a substantial portion of the Existing Annual Cap for the year ending 31 December 2009, we concur with the Directors’ view that it is necessary to revise the relevant Existing Annual Cap so as to cover for the anticipated transaction value of such Continuing Connected Transactions under the revised estimation. Given the existing value of the relevant actual transactions up to 30 April 2009, we are of the view that the Revised Annual Cap of RMB820 million for the purchase of refrigerators by the relevant Subsidiaries of the Company from the relevant Subsidiaries of Hisense Group for the year ending 31 December 2009 is fair and reasonable.

As regards to the provision of after-sale maintenance, repair and consultation services and electronic communication services by the relevant Subsidiaries of Hisense Group to the relevant Subsidiaries of the Company, we understand that the Group presently does not have its own repair and maintenance services team to provide after-sales services to its customers. Therefore, the Group has to engage outside service providers for the provision of after-sale maintenance, repair and consultation services and electronic communication services to its customers. In

— 22 —

LETTER FROM ACCESS CAPITAL

view of the fact that the actual transaction value up to 30 April 2009 has already accounted for 21% of the Existing Annual Cap, we concur with the Directors’ view that it is necessary to revise the relevant Existing Annual Cap so as to cover for the anticipated transaction value of such Continuing Connected Transactions under the revised estimation. As the demand for home appliances is expected to increase in 2009, we are of the view that the 24% increase of the Revised Annual Cap from the Existing Annual Cap is fair and reasonable.

In general, given the revenue nature of certain of the aforesaid transactions, we are of the view that it is beneficial for the Company to maximise the relevant annual caps for such Continuing Connected Transactions. While the proposed Revised Annual Caps for the year ending 2009 depend on significant extent on the estimation of sales by the relevant parties, it should be noted that (i) the proposed transactions contemplated under the Business Co-operation Framework Agreement will continue to be conducted in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Company and on normal commercial terms and on terms not less favourable to the Company than terms available to or from (as appropriate) independent third parties; (ii) the sale and supply of air-conditioners, refrigerators and raw materials and components by the relevant Subsidiaries of the Company to the relevant Subsidiaries of Hisense Group, when take place and recognised by the relevant Subsidiaries of the Company as sales, will increase the Group’s overall revenue and profitability; and (iii) the non-exclusive arrangement under the Business Cooperation Framework Agreement provides the Company with the flexibility without any commitment on the actual transaction values. As such, we are of the view that the Revised Annual Caps with respect to the sale and supply of refrigerators, airconditioners, raw materials and components and purchase of refrigerators by the relevant Subsidiaries of the Company to the relevant Subsidiaries of Hisense Group and the provision of after-sale maintenance, repair and consultation services and electronic communication services by the relevant Subsidiaries of Hisense Group to the relevant Subsidiaries of the Company are in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

III. Conditions of the Revised Annual Caps under the Supplemental Business Cooperation Framework Agreement

As in the case of the Existing Annul Caps under the Business Co-operation Framework Agreement, the Revised Annual Caps for the year ending 31 December 2009 will be subject to the annual review by the independent non-executive Directors, details of which must be included in the Company’s subsequent published annual report and accounts. Also, pursuant to the Listing Rules, the auditors of

LETTER FROM ACCESS CAPITAL

the Company must provide a letter to the Board confirming, among other things, that the transactions contemplated under the Business Co-operation Framework Agreement and the Supplemental Business Co-operation Framework Agreement are conducted in accordance with their terms and that the relevant annual caps not being exceeded. In addition, pursuant to the Listing Rules, the Company shall publish an announcement if it knows or has reason to believe that the independent non-executive Directors and/or its auditors will not be able to confirm the terms of such transactions or the relevant annual caps not being exceeded. We are of the view that there are appropriate measures in place to govern the conduct of the Continuing Connected Transactions and safeguard the interests of the Independent Shareholders.

RECOMMENDATION

Based on the above, we are of the opinion that the transactions contemplated under the Supplemental Business Co-operation Framework Agreement are on normal commercial terms and in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Company and that the terms of the Supplemental Business Co-operation Framework Agreement and the Revised Annual Caps are in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole and fair and reasonable. Accordingly, we would advise the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders that the Independent Shareholders should vote in favour of the ordinary resolution to approve the Supplemental Business Co-operation Framework Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder at the AGM.

Yours faithfully, For and on behalf of Access Capital Limited Alexander Tai Principal Director
