The above six parcels of land had been mortgaged. The mortgagee of land nos. 4 and 6 was Shunde Ronggui Rural Credit Cooperative.

The Board approved to put the Home Appliance Company Zone, Beach Warehouse and the Marketing Building and the buildings or factories thereon for public auction on 13 May 2007.

The disposal of the Home Appliance Company Zone, Beach Warehouse and the Marketing Building and the buildings or factories thereon is subject to the consent of their respective mortgagees.

The Company is of the view that the disposal of the Home Appliance Company Zone, Beach Warehouse and the Marketing Building and the buildings or factories thereon will not have any material impact to the operation of the Company since such lands are non-core assets of the Company and the Company did not have much operation thereon. Furthermore, the purchasers have agreed to honour the tenancy agreements regarding such lands after the disposal.

REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE LAND USE RIGHTS TRANSFER AGREEMENTS

The Company is principally engaged in the manufacture and sales of refrigerators and air-conditioners. The Land, the Home Appliance Company Zone, the Beach Warehouse Zone, the Marketing Building and the factories and buildings erected thereon are non-core assets of the Company.

This will help to lower the gearing ratio of the Company and further improve the operating conditions of the Company since the liabilities of the Company will be reduced. The credit and image of the Company will also be enhanced.

The Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) consider that the disposals under the Land Transfer Rights Agreements are beneficial to the Company and the Shareholders as a whole and the terms and conditions in the Land Use Rights Transfer Agreements are fair and reasonable.
