III. The main contents of guarantee agreements
The above guarantee agreements have not been signed and their main contents are still subject to negotiation between the guarantor, being the Company or its subsidiaries, and the banks.
IV. Opinion of the board of directors
Given the production and operation situation of the Company and its subsidiaries, the proposed guarantees stated above are beneficial to the Company and its subsidiaries in obtaining the required working capital for the business development and their positive growth, and are in the interests of the Company and its subsidiaries as a whole. In terms of
5
the guarantees provided by the Company to its non-wholly-owned subsidiaries, the risks are under control and the guarantees are favorable to the non-wholly-owned subsidiaries in obtaining liquidity required for its business, which in turns facilitate the business development of the non-wholly-owned subsidiaries and are in the overall interest of the Company. Meanwhile, after assessing the profitability and solvency of the parties for which guarantees will be provided, it is considered that the operations of the parties for which guarantees will be provided are stable with a strong ability to perform contracts and agreements, and thus their ability of loan repayment is assured. The board of directors of the Company is of the view that the risks relating to the provision of the guarantees are under control.
Among the non-wholly owned subsidiaries which guarantees are provided, as the Company undertook to give financial support to Guangdong Air-Conditioner by being 100% responsible for its loss and deficit, therefore 100% of its operating results will be consolidated to the Company’s financial statement for auditing long-term equity investments according to 100% shareholding proportionality. For Kelon Mould and Rongsheng Plastic, though its minority shareholder has not correspondingly provided guarantee proportional to its shareholding, the debt-to-asset ratio of the two aforesaid subsidiaries is low and they have strong solvency. The amount of guarantees to be provided to them by the Company only accounted for 14% and 22% of the Company’s audited net assets for the financial year of 2012 respectively. The amount of guarantees is far below the levels of net assets of these companies. Moreover, the amount of guarantees provided to these companies is all for the purpose of bank credit guarantees and entirely for non-borrowing low risk financial business and the risks are under control.
V. Cumulative amounts of external guarantees and overdue guarantees
As at 31 October 2013, the aggregate amount of external guarantees of the Company and its subsidiaries was RMB9,532,800, representing 0.63% of the audited net assets of the Company as at 31 December 2012. There was no overdue guarantee or guarantee subject to litigation.
VI. Other explanation
(1) The term “revolving use” mentioned in this announcement means the above-listed guarantees can be provided for at any time during the guarantee period by the guarantors for the parties whose liabilities are to be guaranteed, provided that the guarantees to be provided
6
shall be not more than the maximum amount of the guarantees specified above.
(2) The Company will discharge the relevant disclosure obligations on a timely basis in the event of changes in the guarantees proposed to be provided by the Company for its subsidiaries.
