Terms used herein shall have the same meanings as defined in the First Supplemental Agreement Announcement unless otherwise stated.

The Company was informed by Hisense Air-Conditioner on 18 April 2006 that Guangdong Greencool and Hisense Air-Conditioner had on 15 April 2006 entered into “The Second Supplemental Agreement to ‘The Agreement In Relation to the Share Transfer of Guangdong Kelon Electrical Holdings Company Limited’ entered into between Guangdong Greencool Enterprise Development Company Limited and Qingdao Hisense Air-Conditioner Company Limited” (the “Second Supplemental Agreement”) to amend the Transfer Agreement and the First Supplemental Agreement. The amendments made in the Second Supplemental Agreement are briefly summarised as follows:

1. CLAUSE 2.2 OF THE TRANSFER AGREEMENT

Pursuant to the First Supplemental Agreement Announcement, within 3 business days of Hisense AirConditioner making the payment of initial deposit in accordance with clause 3.1 of the Transfer Agreement (as amended by the First Supplemental Agreement), Guangdong Greencool shall complete all the procedures relating to the transfer of the Sale Shares to Hisense Air-Conditioner and that the Sale Shares shall be free from any encumbrances and charges (except required by laws).

Pursuant to clause 2 of the Second Supplemental Agreement, from the date of the Second Supplemental Agreement, both Guangdong Greencool and Hisense Air-Conditioner shall handle and complete all necessary matters relating to the transfer of the Sale Shares in accordance with the timing for the Transfer as agreed between the parties. Further, Guangdong Greencool is required to complete the transfer of the Sale Shares to Hisense Air-Conditioner not exceeding 15 business days from the date of Hisense Air-Conditioner making the initial payment in accordance with clause 3 of the Second Supplemental Agreement, and that the Sale Shares shall be free from any encumbrances (including pledge, foreclosure, freezing or any restriction to the rights of the Sale Shares except restrictions required by laws).

Such amount of RMB20,000,000 and the relevant accrued interests are to be paid within 7 business days from the date of the transfer of the Sale Shares into the Designated Account. Once such amount is paid by Hisense Air-Conditioner into the Designated Account, Hisense Air-Conditioner is deemed to have satisfied its payment obligation thereunder.
