The financial information for 2007 includes the financial information of Pingdu Plant from January to October, and the financial information of Hisense Shandong in November and December after the injection of operating assets of Pingdu Plant of Qingdao Hisense.

1.6. Status of ownership

The 100% equity interests in Hisense Shandong held by Qingdao Hisense are free from restrictions on transfer such as pledge and freeze order.

1.7. Pre-assessment

The pre-assessment of the 100% equity interests in Hisense Shandong is proposed to be conducted primarily with the cost approach. The appraised book value of the 100% equity interests in Hisense Shandong amounted to RMB537,890,800, and its pre-assessed value based on the cost approach is RMB710,000,000, representing an increase in valuation of 32%.

The increase in valuation of Hisense Shandong is primarily due to the appreciation of buildings and equipment, and the recognition of expenses in moulds-in-use and the recovery of the capitalization of patented technologies with the certificate of patent. The appreciation of buildings and equipment is resulted from the earlier construction and acquisition time with lower cost, as well as the significant increase in costs of labor and materials and machinery utilization fees in recent years, thus resulting in the increase in valuation. Although such book value was adjusted when Hisense Shandong was established in 2007, the degree of adjustment was minimal and there

14

was no significant change in the original book value. As such, this valuation posted a larger increase.

Xuehua Group has issued the “Declaration of Consent to Waiver of First Right of Refusal”, consenting to the transfer of 55% equity interests in Hisense Beijing to Hisense Kelon by Qingdao Hisense and the waiver of its first right of refusal.

3.8. Pre-assessment

The pre-assessment of the 55% equity interests in Hisense Beijing is proposed to be conducted primarily with the cost approach. The appraised book value of the 55% equity interests in Hisense Beijing amounted to RMB82,544,200, and its pre-assessed value based on the cost approach is RMB164,000,000, representing an increase in valuation of 98.68%.

The increase in valuation of Hisense Beijing is primarily due to the appreciation of long-term equity investment, the appreciation of land and equipment, and the recognition of expenses in moulds-in-use and the capitalization of intangible assets (patented technologies). The long-term equity investment refers to the increase in the valuation of investment in Hisense Nanjing. The increase in valuation of Hisense Nanjing is attributable to the appreciation of land, buildings and equipment, which is mainly resulted from the earlier acquisition time with lower cost of book value.

Note: On 8 May 2009, Hisense Group and Qingdao Hisense entered into an equity transfer agreement for the transfer of 49% equity interests in Hisense Hitachi to Qingdao Hisense. Pursuant to the equity transfer agreement entered into between Hisense Group and Qingdao Hisense, the consideration for this transfer of equity interests shall be subject to the assessment results filed with the state-owned assets supervision and administration department. Currently, the assessment is still underway. It is estimated that the consideration for transfer will not exceed RMB196,000,000.

5.4. Operating status

Hisense Hitachi is principally engaged in the research and development, manufacture and sale of household and commercial-use central air-conditioning system units. Its household and commercial-use air-conditioning unit products are equipped with state of the art technologies for inverter VRF air-conditioning systems, and situate in a leading position among the industry in terms of outstanding performance and high quality. Hisense Hitachi is the largest production base for inverter VRF air-conditioners of Hitachi Air Conditioning outside Japan. It also represents the application of the latest results of the research and development of Hitachi Air Conditioning in the PRC.

The production base of Hisense Hitachi located at Hisense Information Technology Park has a site area of 100,000 square metres, and is equipped with

24

internationally-advanced manufacturing facilities and well-equipped laboratories. Hisense Hitachi has built a product system based mainly on inverter VRF air-conditioning systems to satisfy the needs of both commercial and household users. Its products are widely used in different settings, such as offices, guest houses, apartments, villas, shops and restaurants. Since the commencement of production, Hisense Hitachi has recorded stable growth in its business income. In 2008, Hisense Hitachi achieved operating income of RMB867,000,000, representing a year-on-year growth of 16.6%. Its market share is among the top two in the industry.

Hisense Hitachi is principally engaged in the production of central VRF systems (i.e. household and commercial-use central air-conditioners) with the capacity ranging from 8P to 40P. Traditionally, family-use air-conditioners refer to the air-conditioners with the capacity ranging from 1P to 5P for use of families, and general commercial-use air-conditioners refer to the non-family-use air-conditioners with the capacity ranging from 3P to 5P. With the development of the air-conditioning technology, both family-use and general commercial-use air-conditioners are equipped with higher capacity, thus beginning to compete with the household and commercial-use central air-conditioners in certain aspects. On the other hand, household and commercial-use central air-conditioners in smaller size are also developed so as to satisfy the various needs of customers, in particular for luxury-residential units and villas. Therefore, household and commercial-use central air-conditioners are competing with family-use and general commercial-use air-conditioners to a certain extent.

Accordingly, as noted from the above analysis of development trend, business competition may exist between Hisense Hitachi and other companies which manufacture air-conditioners under Qingdao Hisense. To avoid the business competition between Hisense Hitachi and Hisense Kelon in the future, Hisense Group proposes to transfer Hisense Hitachi to Hisense Kelon through this reorganization.

The 49% equity interests in Hisense Hitachi proposed to be transferred are free from restrictions on transfer such as pledge and freeze order.

5.7. Details of consent of the other shareholders on the equity transfer and the waiver of first right of refusal

On 24 April 2009, Taiwan Hitachi, Hitachi Air Conditioning and Union Trading issued the “Consent to Waiver of First Right of Refusal” respectively, consenting to the transfer of equity interests in Hisense Hitachi to Qingdao Hisense from Hisense Group and subsequently to Hisense Kelon and the waiver of their first right of refusal.

5.8. Pre-assessment

The pre-assessment of the 49% equity interests in Hisense Hitachi is proposed to be conducted primarily with the cost approach. The appraised book value of the 49% equity interests in Hisense Hitachi amounted to RMB116,305,300, and its pre-assessed value based on the cost approach is RMB206,000,000, representing an increase in valuation of 76.95%.

The increase in valuation of Hisense Hitachi is primarily due to the appreciation of land, buildings and equipment, and the recognition of expenses in moulds-in-use and the capitalization of intangible assets (patented technologies). The appreciation of land, equipment and buildings is resulted from the earlier acquisition time with lower cost of book value. The appreciation of equipment is also resulted from the shorter depreciable period of the equipment than its economic life used for the purposes of valuation.

6.8. Pre-assessment

The increase in valuation of Hisense Mould is primarily due to the appreciation of

31

inventories, buildings, equipment and land, and the recognition of expenses in the capitalization of patented technologies with certificate of patent expensed. The increase in valuation of equipment is resulted from the earlier acquisition time of certain equipment with a shorter depreciable life than its economic life used for the purposes of valuation. The increase in valuation of buildings and land is resulted from the lower acquisition costs under the preferential government policies on building construction and land acquisition.

7.4. Operating status

Hisense Marketing was originally a company under Hisense Group, primarily engaged in the sale of air-conditioners, refrigerators, small household electric appliances, televisions, cellular phones and other products and the provision of services. Since its establishment, Hisense Marketing underwent several changes of its businesses (see the chart below) in accordance with the unified planning of Hisense

33

Group. At the beginning of its establishment, Hisense Marketing was only engaged in the businesses in relation to air-conditioners, refrigerators and small household electric appliances; in or around 2004, Hisense Marketing commenced its business of the sale of televisions; in June 2006, Hisense Marketing changed its scope of business and discontinued the business of the sale of televisions; in 2006 and 2007, Hisense Marketing successively downsized its business of the sale of cellular phones. At present, Hisense Marketing is principally engaged in the sale of white goods.

In 2007, Hisense Marketing recorded a turnover of RMB3,915,000,000, of which income from the business of air-conditioners was RMB2,173,000,000, and income from the business of refrigerators was RMB1,640,000,000. In 2008, Hisense Marketing recorded a turnover of RMB3,489,000,000, of which income from the business of air-conditioners was RMB1,701,000,000, and income from the business of refrigerators was RMB1,661,000,000. (The figures are unaudited)

Hisense Marketing incurred certain assets and liabilities which are not disposed during its sale of cellular phones and televisions. Accordingly, this reorganization only proposes to acquire the assets for sales and marketing of white goods owned by Hisense Marketing and the corresponding liabilities, but not Hisense Marketing, to avoid the assets and liabilities incurred in the sale of cellular phones and televisions of Hisense Marketing to be transferred to Hisense Kelon.

Note: The above figures are unaudited and may be different from the final audited results.

In particular:

Trade receivables: mainly comprises receivables from large scale electrical appliances chain stores and channel distributors generated from the sale of refrigerators and air-conditioners produced by assets proposed to be transferred under

35

this reorganization (mainly Hisense Shandong, Hisense Beijing, and Hisense Nanjing);

Inventories: mainly comprises refrigerator finished goods from Hisense and air-conditioner finished goods from Hisense, the remaining is maintenance parts used by Hisense white goods;

As the operations of Hisense Marketing mainly rely on the branches in different regions, the receivables and inventories are also mainly dispersed in the branches;

Trade payables: mainly comprises trade payables resulted from the purchase of refrigerator products from Hisense Beijing and Hisense Nanjing and the purchase of air-conditioner products from Hisense Shandong;

Other payables and accruals: represents mainly the payables such as the outstanding adverting fee, logistics fee and installation fee;

Accrued liabilities: represents mainly the provision for maintenance and repair;

Other receivables: represents mainly the funds which should be owned by the assets for sales and marketing of white goods under the separation plan during the sales and marketing of white goods and non-white goods assets for sales and marketing by Hisense Marketing, but were utilized by non-white goods assets. Hisense Group has undertaken to solve the above problem before the announcement of this formal reorganization proposal.

7.6. Description on the related issues of assets for sales and marketing of white goods

(1)The Liabilities and staff of White Goods Sales and Marketing Assets will be contributed to the Listed Company

Since January 2007, the financial department of Hisense Marketing could already conduct separate audit on white goods products and non-white goods products. Except income tax and tax payable, the assets and liabilities, income, costs and expenses of the products can be separated clearly. Such separation aims at facilitating the injection of assets and staff of Hisense Marketing related to white goods. Regarding the liabilities related to the white goods business, since they are directly resulted from white goods business and have strong connection with white goods sales business in the prior periods (such as payables and provision for maintenance and repair etc), the relevant liabilities will also be injected into the Company. Besides, since this pre-assessment on the assets for sales and marketing of white goods is also

36

calculated on a “net assets” basis, the liabilities attached to the assets for sales and marketing of white goods should be consolidated into the Company.

Hisense Marketing has gradually reduced and discontinued the operation of non-white goods business since mid-2006. Separation was also conducted on non-white goods business and management personnel gradually. Current staff totally understand they are responsible for the white goods business, or the few staff who deal with the historical problems left by non-white goods assets for sales and marketing business. Staff for white goods sales and marketing business will be injected to the Company with the assets after the completion of reorganization.

(2) Reasons for the negative net assets of the assets for sales and marketing of white goods

At the early stage of the establishment of Hisense Marketing, large investment was put in order to expand into the market, leading to a larger loss in initial period, for example, the net assets of white goods business at the end of 2004 was RMB-140,000,000. The operating environment was improved during 2005 to 2007, however, consumer’s demand was low due to the financial crisis in 2008. In order to further expand the market, Hisense Marketing invested large amount of marketing expenses in the second half of 2008, especially preliminary expenses such as advertisement fee, exhibition booth production and venue fee. The input of such expenses resulted in certain lag effects, but it would establish a sound brand foundation for future market sales. It is believed that with the recovery of the global economic condition in 2009, Hisense Marketing will record returns in the coming years.

(3) The necessity of injecting the assets for sales and marketing of white goods into the listed Company

① The assets for sales and marketing of white goods of Hisense Marketing are mainly responsible for the sales of air-conditioners and refrigerators manufactured by Hisense Shandong, Hisense Beijing and Hisense Nanjing. The injection of assets for sales and marketing of white goods of Hisense Marketing into the listed Company can help to ensure the unity and completeness of the injected assets;

② The assets for sales and marketing of white goods of Hisense Marketing have a strong complement to the original sales and marketing system of Hisense Kelon. From the perspective of regional distribution, the major subsidiaries of Hisense

37

Marketing are distributed among major cities in the north region and the whole nation, while the sales and marketing points of Hisense Kelon are located at the south and middle and small cities of the PRC. From the perspective of sales and marketing channel, the sales of Hisense Marketing mainly rely on large scale chain stores and channel distributors, while the sales of Hisense Kelon mainly rely on local agents. After the injection of the assets for sales and marketing of white goods of Hisense Marketing into the listed Company, the sales points of Hisense Kelon will be substantially enlarged and its sales channel will be enriched.

7.7. Status of ownership

The assets for sales and marketing of white goods of Hisense Marketing proposed to be transferred are free from restrictions on transfer such as pledge, security and freeze order. As at the date of this announcement, Hisense Shandong and Hisense Beijing, the creditors of Hisense Marketing, have respectively issued letters consenting to the transfer of the assets for sales and marketing of white goods to Qingdao Hisense. Both creditors hold a total claim amount of RMB585,084,592.37 (trade payables and bills payables), representing 58% of the total liabilities of Hisense Marketing (based on the unaudited financial information of Hisense Marketing as at 31 December 2008). Currently, Hisense Marketing is actively negotiating with the other major creditors regarding the transfer of the assets for sales and marketing of white goods.

7.8. Pre-assessment

The pre-assessment of the Hisense white goods assets for sales and marketing is proposed to be conducted primarily with the cost approach. The appraised book value of the Hisense white goods assets for sales and marketing amounted to RMB-121,000,000, and its pre-assessed value based on the cost approach is RMB-80,000,000, representing an increase in valuation of RMB41,000,000.

Operation of the white goods sales and marketing business of Hisense Marketing incurs substantial expenditures on the production of exhibition booths and sample machines. Although the above expenditures have been included in the expenses or amortized and do not have any book value, such assets are still in use and fall within a benefit period. An valuation increase is resulted from the assessment of the interests over the income period.

The above estimated valuation is only a rough evaluation made by the Company based on the current financial and assets condition. The effective value shall be valued (especially the assets with increase in valuation) by a qualified valuer based on the

38

actual market value and subject to the final valuation results .

2. Evaluation of the subject assets

The Company has engaged an asset valuer which is licensed to carry out securities business to evaluate the subject assets and such evaluation is still underway. The price of the subject assets to be acquired shall be determined upon arm’s length negotiations between the Company and Qingdao Hisense with reference to the valuation of the subject assets, and after taking into account the financial and business conditions and development prospects of the subject assets, transactions of comparable companies in the market, the interests of the holders of A shares and H shares of the Company and other factors, and shall not exceed RMB1,250,000,000.

The pre-assessment of the subject assets of this transaction is summarized as follows:

78.7% equity interests in Hisense Mould 10,798.50 15,000.00 4,201.50 39.20%

Total 77,596.09 125,000.00 47,403.91 61.09%

From the above table, the pre-assessed value of the subject assets for this transaction increases RMB474,039,100 in aggregate, representing a rate of increase of 61.09%. The increase in valuation is primarily due to the appreciation of land, buildings, machinery and equipment of the subject assets. Specific reasons for the appreciation are as follows:

1. Increase in valuation of land

The land of Hisense Hitachi was acquired in 2003 at a cost of RMB36,000/ acreage. Currently, the market value of the land ranges from RMB210,000 to RMB250,000/ acreage. the land of Hisense Mould was acquired in 2006. Under the preferential policy of Qingdao Economic and Technological Development Zone, the land acquisition cost was RMB67,000/ acreage. Currently, the market value of the land ranges from RMB180,000 to RMB200,000/ acreage. In addition, the lands of Hisense Shandong, Hisense Beijing, Hisense Zhejiang and Hisense Nanjing were acquired in 1997, 2006, 2007 and 2003 respectively, and enjoyed different preferential policies. Time cost and the availability of special preferential policies contribute to the different appreciation of the above lands.

2. Increase in valuation of buildings

The buildings of the subject assets of this transaction are production workshops, offices and production facilities. Pre-assessment is conducted with the replacement cost approach. The buildings of Hisense Shandong were built in 1997, those for

40

Hisense Hitachi and Hisense Zhejiang were built in 2003, while those for Hisense Mould and Hisense Nanjing were built in 2006-2007. From the completion of construction of the above buildings to the time of this pre-assessment, the construction costs of the buildings have increased at different levels. For example, fixed labor costs were around RMB20, and are RMB40 at present; for construction materials, steel prices were around RMB3,000, and are RMB4,000-5,000 at present; cement costs were around RMB300/ tonne, and are RMB400-600/ tonne at present. In addition, other costs have increased at different levels, resulting in the increase in valuation of the above buildings.

3. Increase in valuation of equipment

Most of the equipment of the subject assets for this transaction were acquired during the construction of plants. With the increase in labor costs and material prices in recent years, the current equipment acquisition price also increases. In addition, the depreciable life of equipment generally ranges from 8 to 20 years, and the economic life for the purposes of valuation ranges from 10 to 25 years. Therefore, appreciation was recorded in this pre-assessment of equipment.

  1. In the research and development of the patented technologies by the research and development department of the subject assets for this transaction, the costs incurred are included in administration costs at the same time. The pre-assessment of the patented technologies-in-use is conducted with the replacement cost method. For the moulds-in-use in production, site-use fees and advertising fees amortized or expensed, this assessment is quantified in accordance with the requirements of assets appraisal practice over the remaining income period of each asset.

In conclusion, the land, buildings, equipment and the assessment capitalization of patented technologies expensed contribute to the increase in the pre-assessment of the subject assets for this transaction.

3. Information of future profitability of the subject assets

The Hisense white goods assets proposed to be acquired have a strong potential for future profitability. In 2007, the operating income from Hisense white goods assets business amounted to RMB6,156,000,000 in aggregate, and net profit attributable to the holders of the parent company amounted to RMB123,000,000; in 2008, in view that the Hisense white goods business suffered the challenges arising from the global

41

financial turmoil and the impacts of the shrinkage in domestic demand, the operating income amounted to RMB5,450,000,000, posting a reduction as compared to that in 2007. Nevertheless, Hisense air-conditioner business continued to maintain its leading position in the PRC market in terms of high-end products such as invert air-conditioners. After the completion of this reorganization, the scale of operation for the air-conditioner and refrigerator business of the Company will be expanded substantially, enabling it to enhance economies of scales and strengthen its competitiveness in the industry, which will in turn further enhance the overall profitability of the Company.

(III) Other information about the subject matter of the transaction

1. Internal reorganization of Hisense white goods assets

Of the Hisense white goods assets proposed to be acquired, 49% equity interests in Hisense Hitachi is currently directly held by Hisense Group, 78.7% equity interests in Hisense Mould is currently directly held by Hisense Group and Hisense Optical. Hisense Group is a state-owned assets operated company with 100% interests held by the Qingdao SASAC. Hisense Group proposes to implement internal reorganization in respect of its white goods assets before this transaction, whereby its 77.68% equity interests in Hisense Mould and 49% equity interests in Hisense Hitachi shall be transferred to Qingdao Hisense; Hisense Optical shall also transfer its 1.02% equity interests in Hisense Mould to Qingdao Hisense; whereas Hisense Marketing (a wholly-owned subsidiary of Qingdao Hisense) shall transfer its assets for sales and marketing of white goods to Qingdao Hisense for direct holding.

Through this internal reorganization, Hisense Group can further centralize the equity assets of Hisense Hitachi and Hisense Mould and the Hisense white goods assets for sales and marketing to be held by Qingdao Hisense, so as to establish a clearer shareholding and management structure for Hisense Group’s white goods business segment. The internal reorganization is also beneficial for the further rationalization of the corporate governance structure of Hisense Kelon after assets injection.

Upon completion of the abovementioned internal reorganization, Qingdao Hisense will directly hold all the subject assets of this transaction, and will be the only seller of the assets to be acquired through this private issue of the shares by Hisense Kelon. On 4 May 2009, the Qingdao SASAC approved the overall proposal on the reorganization of Hisense Group white goods assets in principle. On 8 May 2009,

42

Hisense Group agreed to transfer its 49% equity interests in Hisense Hitachi to Qingdao Hisense. On 8 May 2009, Hisense Group and Hisense Optical agreed to transfer their respective 77.68% and 1.02% equity interests in Hisense Mould to Qingdao Hisense.

To provide further support to the business development of Hisense Kelon after this transaction, Hisense Electronic has agreed to amend the terms of the licensing fees under the Original Contract. On 18 May 2008, it entered into a “Supplementary Contract to the Trademark Licensing Contract” with Hisense Shandong, Hisense Zhejiang, Hisense Beijing and Hisense Nanjing respectively, pursuant to which Hisense Shandong, Hisense Zhejiang, Hisense Beijing and Hisense Nanjing shall be permitted to use the trademark under the contract for an indefinite term at nil consideration.

(IV) Effects of this transaction on the business competition and connected transactions of the Company

  1. Beneficial for the elimination of business competition between the Company,

45

Qingdao Hisense and its ultimate controller Hisense Group

Through this transaction, all of the white goods assets of Hisense Group will be transferred to Hisense Kelon. The other businesses of Hisense Group (i.e. multimedia business such as televisions, communications business and real estate business) are not competing with the businesses of Hisense Kelon and there will be no overlapping of the principal businesses and assets of Hisense Group and Hisense Kelon. In this regard, the core multimedia business such as televisions of Hisense Electric, a listed company under Hisense Group, will be substantially differentiated from the white goods businesses such as refrigerators and air-conditioners of Hisense Kelon in terms of the State’s industry category and management, product upstream supply chain, product production methods, product technologies, product services and other major aspects. This reorganization will fundamentally eliminate the business competition between Qingdao Hisense and Hisense Group and Hisense Kelon. At the same time, both Qingdao Hisense and its ultimate controller Hisense Group have undertaken not to engage in any air-conditioner, refrigerator and other businesses which is the same as or similar to that of Hisense Kelon upon completion of this reorganization, in order to avoid business competition with Hisense Kelon in the future.

  1. Beneficial for the elimination of the large amount of connected transactions between Hisense Kelon and Qingdao Hisense and its ultimate controller Hisense Group

Before this reorganization, a large amount of connected transactions were entered into between Hisense Kelon, Qingdao Hisense and Hisense Group and its connected parties in relation to the procurement and sale of goods and products and the provision of services. Upon completion of this reorganization, the injection of the entire white goods assets of Hisense Group into Hisense Kelon would significantly reduce the amount of existing connected transactions between the Company and Hisense Group and its connected parties. As a result, the connected transactions in connection with sourcing for white goods business will be fundamentally eliminated; the connected transactions for the purposes of reinforcing the advantage of regional production capacity coverage and the mutual ODM products will be entirely eliminated; as to the connected transactions in connection with the marketing of white goods, through the transfer of the entire assets for sales and marketing of white goods owned by Qingdao Hisense to Hisense Kelon, the domestic marketing channels and assets originally under Hisense Group and the marketing channels and assets originally under Hisense Kelon will be restructured to form a new marketing system which will continue to be

46

completely independent from the multimedia marketing channels (owned by Hisense Electric) and the domestic marketing channels for other products of Hisense Group. As a result, upon completion of this reorganization, connected transactions between Hisense Group and Hisense Kelon in connection with the domestic marketing business will be entirely eliminated.

In respect of the international marketing, Hisense Kelon only has a single OEM business in the scope of international marketing but has no resources or channels for its self-branded exporting business. In order to explore new markets and new clients for its self-branded exporting business and in accordance with the development plans of the Company, it was approved at the Company’s general meeting that commencing from the end of 2007, Hisense Kelon would cooperate with Hisense Group to develop its self-branded exporting business by leveraging on the well-established international marketing platform of Hisense Group to meet the deficiencies due to the lack of self-branded channels and resources, with an aim to expand the international market and further increase its scale of operation. As such, upon completion of this reorganization, there will remain a certain amount of connected transactions between Hisense Group and Hisense Kelon in respect of international marketing.

As to the small amount of connected transactions between the Company and Hisense Group and its connected parties in connection with procurement, provision of services and other areas that will continue to exist after this reorganization, Hisense Kelon will determine the considerations according to the principles of equality, openness and fairness, strictly regulate the aforesaid connected transactions with Hisense Group and its connected parties, and discharge its obligation of information disclosure on a timely basis. At the same time, Qingdao Hisense (the controlling shareholder of the Company according to relevant laws and regulations of the PRC) and its ultimate controller Hisense Group have both undertaken to further regulate and minimize the connected transactions that might be entered into with Hisense Kelon in the future.

(V) Fund and asset embezzlement by its substantial shareholder and its related parties and the guarantees provided by the Company for its substantial shareholder and its related parties after this transaction

Before this transaction, a series of connected transactions and unusual cash flows occurred between the Company and Guangdong Greencool Enterprise Development Company Limited, the former substantial shareholder of the Company, and its related parties (the “Greencool Companies”), or through its third party companies, from 2001

47

to 2005. Such transactions and unusual cash flows as well as the suspected fund embezzlements have been formally investigated by the relevant authorities. As at 31 December 2008, the balance of amounts due from the Greencool Companies and the abovementioned specified third party companies amounted to RMB651,000,000. The Company made a provision for bad debts of RMB365,000,000 in respect of this matter.

In view of the abovementioned situation, Guangdong Dahua Delu Certified Public Accountants, the auditor of the Company’s annual report, considered that they were “unable to adopt appropriate audit procedures to obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence to ascertain whether or not the estimated provision for bad debts based on such amount and the assessment and calculation of the receivables are reasonable”, and issued a qualified auditor’s report for the Company’s 2008 financial statements.

In relation to the qualified opinion, the Board of the Company is of the view that it involves the historical problem caused by the embezzlements of the Company’s assets by Guangdong Greencool Enterprise Development Company Limited, the former substantial shareholder of the Company, and its related parties. The full recoverability of the funds embezzled will not affect the current normal production and operation of the Company.

The Company has estimated, based on the information about the cases available at present, the recoverable amount of the amounts due from the Greencool Companies and the specified third party companies. The bases of the estimate include: the information regarding the properties of the Greencool Companies sealed and frozen by the court as applied by the Company, and the preliminary analysis report on the aforesaid fund embezzlements prepared by the lawyer of the Company appointed for this case. As analyzed by the lawyer of this case, the properties of the Greencool Companies available for settlement amounted to approximately RMB1,000,000,000, and the total claim amount against the Greencool Companies by the creditors to the court amounted to approximately RMB2,400,000,000. The amount claimed by the Company for fund embezzlements by the Greencool Companies amounted to RMB791,000,000. The Company is seeking to have the debts settled based on the proportion of properties available for settlement to debts of the Greencool Companies. Based on the estimated settlement proportion, and taking into consideration that the case is still in progress, the court has not yet acknowledged the claim amount of the debts by the Company. The Board of the Company estimated the recoverable amount of the debts and made a provision for bad debts of RMB365,000,000.

48

The Board of the Company considers that the provision for bad debts is an accounting estimate. The accounting method applied to such receivables is not in breach of the relevant requirements regarding the accounting system for business enterprises. Although the relevant court has made the judgments of first instance in favour of the Company on seventeen cases in respect of the litigations initiated by the Company against the Greencool Companies and its specified third party cases (the judgments for thirteen cases have become effective), the court has not determined the appropriation arrangement for the properties sealed in the abovementioned cases. The Company is unable to ascertain the accurate recovery rate of the abovementioned debts. After the determination of the abovementioned debt settlement proportion, the Company will, based on the confirmed recoverable proportion, adjust retrospectively the 2005 balance sheet and income statement, and adjust the relevant items in the balance sheet as at 31 December 2006, 31 December 2007 and 31 December 2008. However, this will not affect the current profit and loss of the Company for the coming years.

In relation to the reasonableness of the above retrospective adjustments, Guangdong Dahua Delu Certified Public Accountants issued a detailed explanation that “pursuant to the requirement of ‘Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 28 – Accounting policies, changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors”, ‘errors in previous period usually include the effects of calculation mistakes, mistakes in applying accounting policies, oversights or misinterpretations of facts and fraud’. We are of the opinion that, after the determination of the debt settlement proportion for the above items with qualified opinion, Hisense Kelon is able to confirm that the difference between the recoverable amount and the amounts calculated based on the carrying value is an accounting error in the previous period. The reason is that due to the external reasons such as the fraud of former management of Hisense Kelon, the Company determined the recoverable amount based on its estimation and provided for bad debt without clear and reliable evidence. Accordingly, the calculation on the provision for bad debt was based on judgement, in which calculation error may exist. Article 12 provides that: enterprise should adopt the retrospective restatement method to correct any material errors of the prior period, unless it is impracticable to recognize the amount of cumulative effect of the prior period. The term ‘retrospective restatement’ refers to a method whereby, when a prior period error is discovered, the relevant items of the financial statements are corrected as if the prior period error had never occurred. In the event that the actual amount recovered is consistent with or less than the carrying amount, no retrospective adjustment shall be made.”

49

In conclusion, the qualified opinion for 2008 auditor’s report of the Company involves issues caused by the Company’s historical problems and will not be eliminated by this substantial asset reorganization. However, the qualified opinion will not affect the normal production and operation of the Company nor the current profit and loss of the Company for the coming years.

Apart from the aforesaid and save for the normal transactions between the Company’s existing substantial shareholder Qingdao Hisense and the Company, there was no further fund embezzlement and illegal guarantee issues as at the date of this announcement.

(VI) Effects of this transaction on the corporate governance structure of the Company

Before this transaction, the Company has already complied with the related laws and regulations to clearly define its assets and establish a regulated governance structure for a legal entity and an independent corporate management system, in order to achieve business independence, assets independence, financial independence, organizational independence and staff independence.

After this transaction, the shareholding of Qingdao Hisense in the Company will be further increased. The Company will continue to actively procure its controlling shareholder to exercise its rights and discharge its duties and responsibilities as a capital contributor and perform its fiduciary duties to the Company and other shareholders pursuant to the Company Law of the PRC, the Securities Law of the PRC, Guidelines for the Internal Control of Listed Companies of the Shenzhen Stock Exchange and other requirements, and shall not directly or indirectly interfere with the decision-making and operating activities of the Company nor seek additional interests by making use of its controlling position, with the objective of protecting the legal interests of other shareholders.

In addition to the elimination of the competition between the Company and Qingdao Hisense, a substantial reduction of connected transactions between the Company and Qingdao Hisense and its connected parties, further strengthening of the foundation of the principal business of the Company and significant enhancement of its asset quality and profitability, this transaction will further improve the corporate governance structure of the Company.
