§ 3 SIGNIFICANT EVENTS

3.1 Significant changes of the principal accounting statement and financial indicators, and the reasons therefor.

✓ Applicable □ Not applicable

1.Cash and cash equivalents decreased by 48.52% at the end of the Reporting Period as compared to that at the beginning of the Reporting Period, mainly due to the great decrease in guarantee of acceptance.

2.Notes receivable and trade receivables increased by 64.86 % and 91.26%, respectively at the end of the Reporting Period as compared to those at the beginning of the Reporting Period, mainly due to the increase in the revenue of the Company during the Reporting Period , thereby causing the increase in notes receivable and trade receivables at the end of the Reporting Period.

  1. Subsidy receivables increased by 1199.55% at the end of the reporting period from the beginning of the reporting period, mainly due to the increase in export tax refund receivables resulting from the substantial growth in export business during the Reporting Period as compared to the corresponding period of last year.

  2. Construction in progress decreased by 68.86% at the end of the Reporting Period as compared to that at the beginning of the Reporting Period, primarily because the construction in progress was transferred to fixed assets due to completion of the construction. Further, according to the new accounting standards, the land use rights which were originally regarded as construction in progress has been reclassified as intangible assets.

  3. Short-term borrowings decreased by 38.21% at the end of the Reporting Period when

4

comparing with that at the beginning of the Reporting Period, mainly due to the decrease in bank loan balance attributable to enhanced fund management, the proactive correction of low-efficiency funds usage and the improvement of capital utilization.

6.Notes payable decreased by 66.76% at the end of the Reporting Period as compared to that at the beginning of the Reporting Period, mainly because the Company has paid substantial amount of due bank acceptances notes during the Reporting Period.

  1. Trade payables increased by 55.38 % at the end of the Reporting Period as compared to that at the beginning of the Reporting Period, primarily because the purchase volume of raw materials increased significantly with the increase of sales.

  2. The distribution costs during the Reporting Period increased by 29.85% as compared to that of the corresponding period of last year, which was primarily due to the significant increase of the export sales of the Company, the increase in international selling expenses including shipping costs and the rise in promotion expenses as a result of the expansion of the domestic sales scale.

  3. The finance costs during the Reporting Period increased by 32.10% as compared to that of the corresponding period of last year, which was primarily due to the improvement of the capital situation of the Company. The Company repaid part of the bank loans so as to reduce the financing size. At the same time, the Company obtained the support from several banks to improve its financing structure and thus reducing the financing costs of the Company. Therefore, the finance costs of the Company has reduced significantly as compared to that of the corresponding period of last year.

  4. The non-operating incomes during the Reporting Period increased by 408.44% as compared to that of the corresponding period of last year, which was primarily due to the proceeds from the disposal of certain idle assets.

3.2 Significant events and analysis on their impact and solutions

✓ Applicable □ Not applicable

3.2.1 The auditor ’ s report issued by Shenzhen Dahua Tiancheng Certified Public Accountants for the Company contains qualified opinion. The Board explained the matters relating to the qualified auditors ’ opinion in detail as follows:

Reserved Matter 1: “As described in Notes 6.3, 6.4, and 7 to the financial statements, a series of related parties’ transactions and unusual cash flows occurred between the Company and its former largest shareholder, Guangdong Greencool Enterprise Development Limited and its

5

related parties (the “Greencool Companies”) during the period from October 2001 to July 2005. In addition, during this period, the Greencool Companies, through certain specified third party companies, such as Tianjin Lixin Commercial Trading Development Company Limited, involved in a series of unusual cash flows with the Company in the same period. Such transactions and unusual cash flows as well as the suspected fund embezzlement have been reported to the relevant authority, and are pending judgment. Such reported matters involve the accounts receivables and payables between the Company and the Greencool Companies as well as the specified third party companies mentioned above. As at 31 December 2006, the balance of the accounts receivables of the Company from the Greencool Companies and the above specified third party companies amounted to RMB651 million. The Company has made a provision of RMB364 million in respect of the accounts receivables from Greencool Companies and the above specified third party companies. We were unable to adopt appropriate audit procedures to obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence to ascertain whether the estimated provision for bad debts is reasonable and the assessment and calculation of the receivables is reasonable.

As the Company and its former single largest shareholder, Guangdong Greencool Enterprise Development Company Limited, and its related parties or through its third party companies had a series of related parties’ transactions and irregular cash inflow/outflow during the period from 2001 to 2005. The aforesaid transactions, irregular cash inflow/outflow and suspected funds embezzlement have been formally investigated by relevant authorities. As at 30 September 2007, the balance of the accounts receivables of the Company from Greencool Companies and the aforesaid specified third party companies amounted to RMB651 million.

Since the court has not yet made its judgment, the Company can only estimate, based on the available information about the cases at present, the recoverable amount of accounts receivables due from Greencool Companies and specified third party companies, meanwhile the Company has made a provision of RMB364 million. The bases of the estimate include: the information regarding the properties of Greencool Companies sealed and frozen by the Court as applied by the Company, and the initial analysis report on the aforesaid fund embezzlement prepared by the lawyer of the Company. As analyzed by the lawyer, the properties of Greencool Companies available for settlement amounted to approximately RMB1 billion, and the total claim amount against Greencool Companies by the creditors to the court amounted to approximately RMB2.4 billion. The amount claimed by the Company for the fund embezzlement of Greencool Companies amounted to RMB792 million. There is possibility that the credit balance be settled based on the proportion of property to the debts. Based on the estimated settlement proportion, and that the case is still in the progress, the court has not yet acknowledged the amount of the Company's claim of the debts, the Board of the Company estimated the recoverable

6

amount and made a provision of RMB364 million for bad debts.

Meanwhile, the law firm to this case declared that, apart from the case handled by them, they cannot guarantee the accuracy of the information and data related to other relevant cases, nor the results of those cases. Further, whether the relevant subsidiaries of the Company are qualified to participate in the property appropriation of Greencool Companies is dependent on the decision of the Court.

The Board considers that the provision for bad debts is an accounting estimate. The handling method of this accounts receivable does not contravene any relevant requirements of the Accounting System for Business Enterprises, and since there is no material difference between the level of judgment on the recoverability of the accounts receivables made in 2006 and that in 2005, the qualified opinions to this item will not affect the impartiality on the preparation of the income statement from January to September 2007.

After the court has made its judgment and the settlement proportion, the Company will, pursuant to the determined recoverable proportion, adjust retrospectively the 2005 financial statements (balance sheet and income statement), and the relevant items in the balance sheet as at 30 September 2007. The Company has taken measures to sequestrate the properties of Greencool Companies which are available for settlement. The Company will also pay attention to the progress of the case and make its best efforts to ensure its rights as a creditor. However, no substantive progress was made during the first three quarters of 2007.

Reserved Matter 2: As described in Note 6.26 “Revenues and Costs of Principal Operations” to the financial statements, in 2005 the Company adopted a method of calculating the inventory at year-end based on the result of stock take at year-end and weighted purchase unit prices, upon which the costs of principal operations in 2005 was back-calculated. Even though such method will not have any impact on the audit of the balance of inventory by the end of 2005, however, due to unreliability of the control system prior to 2005, we were unable to perform satisfactory audit procedures to determine whether the cost of principal operations back-calculated all attributable to 2005. In our audit on the income statement in 2005, we have expressed a qualified opinion on the cost of principal operations. In the year 2006, the management of the Company could not take appropriate measures to rectify such accounting error and make retrospective adjustments to the cost of the principal operations in 2005. The reserved matters above will not impose any impact on the acknowledgment of the income statement of 2006 and the cash flow statement of 2006.

7

This is a reserved matter on the cost of principal operations in 2005. Such reserved matter will have no impact on the income statement from January to September 2007 and from July to September 2007, and the cash flow statement from January to September 2007

3.2.2 The progress of settlement on the funds embezzled for non-operating purposes.

As at the end of the Reporting Period, the total funds embezzled by the former substantial shareholder and its subsidiaries, specified third parties and other related parties for non-operating reasons amounted to RMB655.1495 million, of which the sum of RMB650.6941 million was embezzled by Guangdong Greencool (the former substantial shareholder) and its subsidiaries and specified third parties and the sum of RMB4.4554 million was embezzled by other related parties. The details were disclosed in interim report.

During the Reporting Period, the settlement panel of the Company had been working on settlement. To date, progress has been made in eight of the twenty litigations initiated by the Company against Gu Chujun and Guangdong Greencool and its subsidiaries (the former substantial shareholder), specified third parties and other related parties (total target claim amount of RMB528.0425 million. Among which,the Intermediate People’s Court of Foshan City has heard on these eight lawsuits respectively. The Intermediate People's Court of Foshan City made a judgment on 30 August 2007 in favour of Jiangxi Kelon Industrial Development Co., Ltd. ("Jiangxi Kelon"), a subsidiary of the Company, in respect of its proceedings against Guangdong Greencool Enterprise Development Company Limited ("Guangdong Greencool"), Gu Chu Jun, Aike Enterprises (Tianjin) Co., Ltd. ("Tianjin Aike") and Greencool Refrigerant (China) Company Limited ("Tianjin Greencool"), and in favour of Jiangxi Kelon in its proceedings against Guangdong Greencool, Gu Chu Jun and Tianjin Greencool in respect of claim for damages, the claim amount for the two litigations amounts to the total sum of RMB165 million (please refer to the relevant announcement dated 13 September 2007 published on “China Securities Journal”, “Securities Times” and the website www.cninfo.com for further details).

3.2.3 Material litigations and arbitration of the Company.

As at 30 September 2007, the Company and its subsidiaries were involved in 105 litigations with a total claim amount of RMB1,054,966,900, US$13,750,719.19 and involving land of 629,003.22 square metres.

8

Among the aforementioned litigations involving the Company and its subsidiaries, there are 26 litigations and arbitrations as disclosed above involving an amount exceeding RMB10,000,000 each (with a total claim amount of RMB998,364,400, US$13,750,719.19), 79 litigations with a claim amount less than RMB10,000,000 each (with a total claim amount of RMB56,602,600 and land of 629,003.22 square metres).
