Date
18 November 2006

-
(2) the Purchaser, as the purchaser
To the best of the Directors’ knowledge, information and belief having made all reasonable enquiry, the Purchaser and the ultimate beneficial owner of the Purchaser are third parties independent of the Company and connected parties (as defined in the Listing Rules) of the Company.
Interest to be transferred
Pursuant to the Land Use Rights Transfer Agreement, the Company has agreed to sell and the Purchaser has agreed to acquire the land use rights of the Land.

-
(1) The sum of RMB15,000,000 was paid by the Purchaser to the Company as deposit on the date of signing of the Land Use Rights Transfer Agreement, i.e. 18 November 2006;
-
(2) The sum of RMB86,765,878.18 to be paid by the Purchaser to the Company within 30 days from the date of signing of the Land Use Rights Transfer Agreement, i.e. on or before 18 December 2006; and
2
- (3) The sum of RMB25,441,469.54 to be paid by the Purchaser to the Company on the date for the completion for the transfer of the land use rights of the Land.
The Land Disposal is carried out by way of public auction conducted by the Company at a bottom price of RMB90,670,000, being the appraised value of the Land appraised by Guangdong Xin De Real Estate and Land Assets Appraisal Co., Ltd on 27 September 2006. The Purchaser was the highest bidder in the public auction of the Land.
The Land was mortgaged to Bank of China Foshan Branch and Bank of China Foshan Shunde Ronggui Sub-branch and the Land Disposal is subject to the consent of the mortgagee of the Land. The Company is in the course of obtaining consent from the mortgagee.
INFORMATION OF THE LAND
The Land has a total area of 133,334.05m[2] and is located at East of Waihuan Road, Ronggui Gaoli Community Residents’ Committee, Shunde District, Fosan District, the People’s Republic of China (佛山 市順德區容桂高黎社區居委會外環路以東)(document no. Shun Fu Guo Yong (2004) No. 1001950). The land was acquired by the Company in 2002. The residual term of use of the Land is 66 years and three months. The Land is for residential use and it has always been left vacant by the Company. Since the Land has always been left vacant by the Company, no net profit (both before and after taxation and extraordinary items) was attributable to the Land for the two financial years immediately preceding the Land Disposal. The Company may have incurred maintenance costs and management fees for the maintenance of the Land for the financial years ended 2004 and 2005. The Company will make further disclosure in respect thereof in the circular to be despatched to the Shareholders.
The Land was appraised by Guangdong Xin De Real Estate and Land Assets Appraisal Co., Ltd on 27 September 2006 with a value of RMB90,670,000. As at 31 July 2006, its total book value was RMB89,744,151.79 and its net book value was RMB81,259,825.3. The base land premium adjustment approach and the residual approach were adopted in appraising the Land.

When compared the net book value of the Land as at 31 July 2006, i.e. RMB81,259,825.3, with the consideration for the Land Disposal, i.e. RMB127,207,347.7, there is a premium of value of RMB45,947,522.42. After the payment of relevant taxes of the Land Disposal by the Company, the Company is expected to obtain a gain for the Land Disposal in the approximate sum of RMB36,000,000.00.
REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE LAND USE RIGHTS TRANSFER AGREEMENT
The Company is principally engaged in the manufacture and sales of refrigerators and air-conditioners. The Land has always been left vacant and is a non-core asset of the Company. The Land Disposal is an initiative by the Company to dispose of its non-core assets and enhance its assets structure, which will facilitate the optimal utilization of the assets of the Company.
The majority, i.e. more than 50%, of the proceeds from the Land Disposal will be used for the repayment of part of the bank loans of the Company and the remaining proceeds will be used as working capital for the Company’s production operation. However, the actual proportion of the application of the proceeds on repayment of bank loans and working capital of the Company will depend on the actual financial and operational conditions of the Company when the proceeds are received by the Company. It will help to lower the gearing ratio of the Company and further improve the operating conditions of the Company.
The Directors consider that the Land Disposal complies with the interest of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole and the terms and conditions in the Land Use Rights Transfer Agreement are fair and reasonable.
INFORMATION RELATING TO THE COMPANY
The Company is principally engaged in the manufacture and sales of refrigerators and air-conditioners.
INFORMATION RELATING TO THE PURCHASER
The Company is incorporated in the PRC with limited liability and is principally engaged in property management and real estate businesses.

DISCLOSEABLE TRANSACTION
Since the consideration ratio of the Land Disposal is more than 5% but less than 25% and each of the other applicable percentage ratios as defined in Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules is less than 25%, the Land Disposal constitutes a discloseable transaction of the Company which is subject to the notification and announcement requirements under Rules 14.34 to 14.39 of the Listing Rules.
A circular containing, among other things, details of the Land Use Rights Transfer Agreement will be despatched to the shareholders of the Company as soon as practicable.
