REPORT ON REVIEW OF INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

OF HISENSE KELON ELECTRICAL HOLDINGS COMPANY LIMITED

(FORMERLY KNOWN AS GUANGDONG KELON ELECTRICAL HOLDINGS COMPANY LIMITED)

海信科龍電器股份有限公司(前稱廣東科龍電器股份有限公司)

(a joint stock limited company incorporated in the People’s Republic of China with limited liability)

INTRODUCTION

We have reviewed the interim financial information set out on pages 4 to 32 which comprises the condensed balance sheet of Hisense Kelon Electrical Holdings Company Limited (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the “Group”) as of 30 June 2007 and the related condensed statements of income, changes in equity and cash flows for the sixmonth period then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory notes. The Main Board Listing Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited require the preparation of a report on interim financial information to be in compliance with the relevant provisions thereof and International Accounting Standard 34 “Interim Financial Reporting”. The directors are responsible for the preparation and presentation of this interim financial information in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim financial information based on our review. The report is made solely to you, as a body, in accordance with our agreed terms of engagement, and for no other purpose. We do not assume responsibility towards or accept liability to any other person for the content of this report.

SCOPE OF REVIEW

We conducted our review in accordance with Hong Kong Standard on Review Engagements 2410, “Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity” issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Hong Kong Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

BASIS FOR QUALIFIED CONCLUSION

It was reported by the Company that the previous controlling shareholder, Guangdong Greencool Enterprise Development Company Limited (“Greencool Enterprise”), had entered into a series of activities/transactions during the period from 2001 to 2005 which had been harmful to the Group, including but not limited to unauthorised use of the Group’s funds, fictitious sales of goods and scrap materials, unreasonable prepayments and purchases of raw materials and property, plant and equipment at unreasonable quantities and prices. These transactions were conducted through Greencool Enterprise, its affiliates and/or companies suspected to be connected with the Company’s former chairman, Mr. Gu Chu Jun (“Mr. Gu”). As at 30 June 2007, the aggregate amount of receivables and aggregate amount of payables due from/to these companies were approximately RMB286 million (net of an accumulated impairment loss of approximately RMB364 million) and approximately RMB138 million respectively which were reflected in the condensed consolidated balance sheet at 30 June 2007 as “Amounts due from Greencool Enterprise and its affiliates” and “Amounts due from companies suspected to be connected with Mr. Gu” within current assets and “Amounts due to Greencool Enterprise and its affiliates” and “Amounts due to companies suspected to be connected with Mr. Gu” within current liabilities. Due to the irregularity of the transactions mentioned above and limitation of information available to us, we were unable to satisfy ourselves concerning the validity of these transactions, the appropriateness of the accumulated impairment and the recoverability of the carrying amounts. Any adjustments found to be necessary would affect the net liabilities as at 30 June 2007 and the profit for the six-month period then ended.

H

QUALIFIED CONCLUSION

Except for the adjustments to the interim financial information that we might have become aware of had it not been for the situation described above, based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim financial information is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards.

Without modifying our above review conclusion, we draw to your attention to note 2 to the interim financial information which indicates that the Group’s current liabilities exceeded its current assets by approximately RMB2,792 million as at 30 June 2007. In addition, the Group had outstanding short-term loans in the aggregate of approximately RMB1,194 million of which approximately RMB176 million were overdue as at 30 June 2007. These conditions, along with other matters as set forth in note 2 to the interim financial information indicate the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast doubt about the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

30 June 2007

1. GENERAL INFORMATION

Hisense Kelon Electrical Holdings Company Limited (the “Company”) was incorporated in the People’s Republic of China (hereinafter referred to as the “PRC”) on 16 December 1992. Its H shares were listed on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited on 23 July 1996 and its A shares were listed on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange on 13 July 1999.

The Company was formerly named Guangdong Kelon Electrical Holdings Company Limited (廣東科龍電器股份有限公司) and has changed its name to Hisense Kelon Electrical Holdings Company Limited (海信科龍電器股份有限公司)since 21 June 2007.

As at 31 December 2006, Qingdao Hisense Air-Conditioner Company Limited (“Hisense Air-Conditioner”) held 262,212,194 shares of domestic legal person shares of the Company, representing 26.43% of total share capital of the Company.

On 29 March 2007, the share reform proposed on 19 December 2006 was completed. Upon its completion, the 262,212,194 domestic shares which were non-freely transferable A shares held by Hisense Air-Conditioner were converted into 238,872,074 transferable shares, representing 24.08% of the Company’s total capital. Hisense Air-Conditioner was the single largest shareholder of the Company as at 30 June 2007.

The English names by which some of the companies are referred to in these condensed consolidated financial statements represent management’s best efforts in translating their Chinese names as no English names have been registered for these companies.

The Group is principally engaged in the manufacture and sale of refrigerators and air-conditioners.

The address of the registered office of the Company is No.8 Ronggang Road, Ronggui, Shunde, Foshan, the PRC.

The condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in Renminbi (“RMB”), which is also the functional currency of the Group.

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION

As at 30 June 2007, the Group’s current liabilities exceeded its current assets by approximately RMB2,792 million. In addition, the Group has outstanding short-term loans in the aggregate of approximately RMB1,194 million of which approximately RMB176 million were overdue as at 30 June 2007. The Group negotiated with certain banks to restructure the amounts due to them and the Company’s management confirmed that most of the Group’s bankers have expressed their intention to reschedule overdue bank borrowings and/or renew/grant credit facilities to the Group. Based on the above assessments, the directors are of the opinion that the Group will have sufficient working capital to finance its normal operations and to meet its financial obligations as they fall due for the foreseeable future and have prepared the condensed consolidated financial statements on a going concern basis.

These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the applicable disclosure requirements of Appendix 16 of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited and with International Accounting Standard (“IAS”) 34 “Interim Financial Reporting” issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”).

The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with IAS 34 requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses on a year to date basis. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – Continued

30 June 2007

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION – Continued

These condensed consolidated financial statements include selected explanatory notes. The notes include an explanation of events and transactions that are significant to an understanding of the changes in financial position and performance of the Group since 31 December 2006. These condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereon do not include all of the information required for full set of financial statements prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRSs”) promulgated by the IASB. IFRSs include all applicable IFRSs, IASs and related interpretations. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the 2006 annual financial statements.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, except for certain financial instruments, which are measured at fair values, as appropriate.

These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with substantially the same accounting policies adopted in the 2006 annual financial statements except as stated in note 3(a) below.

IASB has issued a number of new and revised IFRSs that are effective or available for early adoption for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2007. The adoption of the new and revised IFRSs that are effective for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2007 did not result in significant changes to the Group’s accounting policies applied in these condensed consolidated financial statements for the periods presented. Accordingly, no prior period adjustment has been recognised.

The Group has not early applied the new and revised IFRSs that have been issued but are not yet effective. The directors anticipated that the application of these new and revised IFRSs will have no material impact on the Group’s results of operations and financial position.

(a) Summary of the effects of the changes in accounting policies

In prior years, certain property, plant and equipment held for use in production or supply of goods or services, or for administrative purpose are stated in the balance sheet at their revalued amounts, being the fair value on basis of their existing use at the date of revaluation, less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment loss (revaluation model) in accordance with the provisions of IAS 16. During the period, the Company restated these property, plant and equipment at cost less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment loss (cost model) in accordance with the provisions of IAS 16, to be in alignment with the accounting policy for property, plant and equipment adopted in its PRC statutory financial statements.

The changes resulted in an increase in the cost, accumulated depreciation and impairment of property, plant and equipment by the same amount of RMB246,429,000 and there was no material impact to the carrying amounts of these property, plant and equipment for current and prior periods.

(b) Reclassification of revaluation reserve

The revaluation reserve brought forward of RMB373,570,000 as at 31 December 2006 and 2005 arose from the restructuring of the Company. This amount was reclassified as capital reserve in order to conform with current period’s presentation of financial statements.

6. INCOME TAX (CREDIT)/EXPENSE – Continued

On 1 March 2007, the Fifth Plenary Session of the Tenth National People’s Congress passed the Corporate Income Tax Law of the PRC (“new tax law”) which will take effect on 1 January 2008. As a result of the new tax law, the statutory income tax rate will change from 33% to 25% with effect from 1 January 2008. The preferential tax rate currently enjoyed by the Company will be gradually transitioned to the new standard rate of 25% over a five-year transitional period. The detailed instruction for the transition to the new tax rate is yet to be issued. The Group estimates that the preferential income tax rate currently enjoyed by the Group will expire at the earlier of the end of the existing preferential tax period or the five-year transitional period. The change in the carrying amount of the deferred tax assets and liabilities, as a result of the change in tax rate, is reflected in the condensed consolidated financial statements of the Group for the six months ended 30 June 2007.

7. DIVIDENDS

The directors do not recommend the payment of an interim dividend for the six months ended 30 June 2007 (six months ended 30 June 2006: Nil).

8. EARNINGS/(LOSS) PER SHARE

The calculation of basic earnings per share attributable to equity holders of the Company is based on the net profit attributable to equity holders of the Company for the six months ended 30 June 2007 of RMB117,374,000 (six months ended 30 June 2006: net loss attributable to equity holders of the Company of RMB29,153,000) and 992,006,563 shares (six months ended 30 June 2006: 992,006,563 shares) outstanding during the period.

No diluted earnings/(loss) per share has been presented as there were no dilutive potential ordinary shares in issue in both periods.

9. ACQUISITION AND DISPOSAL OF PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

During the period, the Group acquired property, plant and equipment of approximately RMB95,147,000 (six months ended 30 June 2006: RMB79,988,000) and disposed property, plant and equipment of approximately RMB59,568,000 (six months ended 30 June 2006: RMB48,950,000).

INTERIM DIVIDEND

Pursuant to the resolutions passed on the meeting of Board of the Company held on 23 August 2007, the Board does not recommend the payment of an interim dividend for the six months ended 30 June 2007. No interim dividend was paid for the corresponding period of last year.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

PERFORMANCE REVIEW

During the first half year of 2007, in an environment where the economy has gone through a rapid development, competition in the industry remained intense while there was a significant growth in the white home appliances industry due to the continuous improvement of residential consumption as well as the gradual expansion of mid-to-high-end products market capacity.

During the Reporting Period, the Company’s revenue from principal operations was RMB4.85 billion, representing an increase of 35.35% as compared with the corresponding period in 2006; the net profit was RMB96.59 million, representing an increase of RMB134.24 million as compared with the same period of 2006; and profit attributable to equity holders was RMB117.37 million.

ANALYSIS FROM OPERATIONAL STRUCTURE

During the Reporting Period, among the Company’s revenue from principal operations, revenue from air-conditioners business accounted for 45.18% of the total turnover of the Company, representing an increase of 38.31% as compared with the same period of the previous year; revenue from refrigerators business accounted for 47.11 % of the total turnover of the Company, representing an increase of 37.52% as compared with the same period of the previous year; the remaining 7.71% of the total turnover was generated from other businesses, such as the sale of freezer and product components.

In addition, domestic sales accounted for 55.19% of the total turnover of the Company, representing an increase of 11.65% as compared with the same period of the previous year; export sales accounted for 44.81% of the total turnover of the Company, representing an increase of 83.26% as compared with the same period of the previous year.

The Board does not recommend the payment of interim dividend to the shareholders of the Company (no dividend was paid by the Group for the first half year of 2006).

Air-conditioners business

Despite the increase in domestic sales of air-conditioners as compared with the same period of the previous year, its growth fell below the average growth of the whole industry and the Company remained a significant distance behind its major competitors due to the insufficiency of purchase and production at the beginning of the year, which left the Company unable to stock sufficient supply for channel distribution during the peak season (March and April), and thus missing the valuable selling opportunity, and the sales channels and distribution network have not been fully recovered and the “KELON” brand was still under unfavourable influence. In addition, as the Company failed to make a breakthrough in the scale of production of air-conditioners, further expansion is therefore expected.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS – Continued

ANALYSIS FROM OPERATIONAL STRUCTURE – Continued

Refrigerators business

During the Reporting Period, the Company has been aggressively exploring the overseas markets, and has established closer strategic relationship with its major customers; The Company has increased the investment in advertising and exploited and promoted the essence of the “RONSHEN” brand. However, as a result of the labour shortage all over the country in the beginning of the year and the difficulties encountered by the Company in recruiting staff, the Company failed to enhance its production capacity efficiently to fill the stock, therefore the Company failed to accomplish the targeted sales volume of “RONSHEN” refrigerators, and moreover, our Class 3 and 4 markets have been challenged by the sudden emergence of a large number of small-scale refrigerator manufacturers. There was also a difference between the performance of the Company and that of the whole industry in terms of the growth in domestic sales.

Despite the significant growth in export sales of refrigerators, the gross profit margin decreased as compared with the same period of the previous year, mainly due to the ineffective export structure. Current sales of refrigerators mainly consists of small-volume refrigerators and the prices of which are low. In addition, as a result of the increase in the price of major raw materials (both the white and black materials etc.) for refrigerators and the appreciation of Renminbi, the gross profit margin for refrigerator export business remained low. It is expected that the export of refrigerators will face even more challenging situation with the upcoming adjustment of the State’s export tax refund policy as well as the rise of ocean transportation cost. The Company, in the later stage, will focus on improving the export product sales structure and shift towards the production and sale of large-volume refrigerators of advanced high-tech nature and high gross profit margin.

Analysis of the influence of the results

The management of the Company considered that the rise in the revenues from the principal operation and the net profit of the Company during the Reporting Period was mainly due to the overall growth of the domestic economy and the industry as well as the numerous measures adopted by the Company during the Reporting Period to improve the operational effectiveness, which facilitated the Company to achieve a better performance. However, the Company is generally still in a recovery stage. A number of historical problems has brought numerous difficulties to the Company. Therefore, the Company still failed to achieve its targets during the Reporting Period.

Analysis of reasons for the improvements in the results:

  • (1) The cash received from disposal of idle assets during the Reporting Period could satisfy the Company’s fund demand for production as well as maintaining the Company’s reputation during the peak season and has to a certain extent improved the asset structure and quality of the Company. Meanwhile, it has made a great contribution to the profit during the Reporting Period, which has brought the Company a net profit of RMB67 million.

  • (2) During the Reporting Period, the Company entered into the debt transfer agreement with Foshan Shunde Shunrong Investments Company Limited to transfer the Company’s rights to the debts of Foshan Shunde Jiegao Investments Company Limited to Foshan Shunde Shunrong Investments Company Limited at a consideration of RMB142 million. The transfer has set off the provision for bad debt previously made and contributed a profit of RMB57.07 million to the Company.

  • (3) The Company continuously improved the product sales structure while developing high-end products market to increase the gross profit of products. Especially in the first half year of 2007, the gross profit margin of air-conditioners recorded an increase as compared with the same period of the previous year, indicating a remarkably stronger profitability.

  • (4) The Company’s efforts on accelerating fund liquidity have been rewarded, especially in the turnover of working capital. Turnover of raw material in all production factories have generally reached the industry advanced levels.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS – Continued

ANALYSIS FROM OPERATIONAL STRUCTURE – Continued

Analysis of reasons for the improvements in the results: – Continued

  • (5) During the Reporting Period, the Company adhered to the operation guideline of “Forging Product Competitive Edge” and stressed on the depth of research and development efforts, reinforced the research and development of mid-tohigh-end products and increased energy-saving effectiveness. To meet specific market demands, the Company has launched new models of two-door refrigerators and energy-saving and highly-efficient air-conditioners. Both products have won the appreciation by the consumers and support by the market.

  • (6) With increasing amount of components purchased from outside as well as reinforced quality control of product design and production, perfection of quality control system and promotion and application of advanced management tools, the Company has achieved a remarkable decrease in the quality assurance costs and return-for-repair rate with a significant upgrading of product reputation, which have boosted the re-establishment of the brand image and sales.

The operation quality of the Company has marked improvement through the above-mentioned efforts. However, as a result of the following factors, the results of the Company are also adversely affected:

  • (1) The appreciation of Renminbi: from the beginning of this year to June 2007, the accumulated appreciation of Renminbi has reached 2.34%. The total loss incurred by the Company as a result of the exchange rate for the first half of this year was in the total sum of approximately RMB22,379,000, representing an increase of 60.62% as compared to the same period of last year.

  • (2) Product sales was greatly hindered by the insufficient production resources and failure of productivity to meet preset targets at the beginning of 2007.

  • (3) The economic scale of air-conditioning products failed to meet the industry standard and the expected growth level. The distribution costs were not under effective control and the domestic and overseas transportation costs have increased. The operating expenses during the Reporting Period were high and reached 13.37%.

  • (4) The gross profit margin for exported products, especially refrigerators, remained at a low level under the influence of the sales structure of exported products.

  • (5) Due to historical reasons, a number of the production factories of the Company have suspended their productions and continued to suffer losses. Certain production infrastructures were under reconstruction and had not been completed, which, to a certain extent, pared down the restoration and growth of the Company’s scale and results.

OUTLOOK

During the second half year of 2007, the competition in the global home appliances market is expected to intensify. In view of the appreciation of Renminbi, the increase in ocean transportation costs as well as the non-tariff barriers, risks on the export business of home appliances manufacturers will be aggravated.

With the increasing domestic and foreign concerns on the energy efficiency of home appliance as well as the promulgation of the relevant compulsory standards, competitions with respect to the energy-saving technology for refrigerators and airconditioners will become more severe, and thus driving the upgrade of products’ structure. As a leader in the technology of the domestic home appliance industry, the Company possesses advanced technological level beyond competitors and a competent research and development team, which will ensure the significant competitiveness of the technologies and products of the Company in the industry.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS – Continued

OUTLOOK – Continued

The operational effectiveness has been improved during the first half of this year, but there is still a long distance from the development goal of the Company and the advanced level of the industry. As the product sales has just stepped into a low season, the operation of the Company in the second half year will be under even greater pressure. The Company will take the following measures to improve the operation in low season with an attempt to lay down a solid foundation for further expansion in the coming year. With respect to the coordination among research and development of products, production and sales, the Company will accelerate and reinforce the implementation of its annual operational guidelines, encourage the management efficiency, exploit the internal potentials, create competitive advantage for products, strengthen staff training, so as to enhance operational effectiveness and offer a strong support for the rapid but healthy development of the Company.

  1. The Company plans to further optimise the industrial layouts, clear up and dispose of certain production factories without valuable contributions to the overall business development of the Company, so that it can concentrate on its principal operations. However, the clearing up of subsidiaries is expected to bring certain losses.

  2. Under the foundation of significant breakthrough in the wind enhancement technology of air-conditioners and the technology of refrigerators in the first half year, the Company will continue to increase the investment in research and development, particularly the preliminary technological research in order to maintain the Company’s leading position in the industry with respect to technology and product quality. In addition, the Company will strengthen the process management for new products and conduct the product planning as early as possible according to the regulation for the industry to guarantee the timely launch of its new products in the coming year.

  3. Through adoption of improved technology and the joint development of new products (such as setting up overseas research and development centres), the development of well-oriented products and shortening the lead time, the Company aims at getting closer to the customer market, continuously consolidating the strategic relationships with overseas customers, especially major customers, obtaining large orders, optimising the structure of exported products and improving our profitability. Meanwhile, the Company plans to cope with the influence of Renminbi appreciation through putting efforts on costs reduction, optimisation of currency settlement structure, increasing raw materials import and promoting order financing, and consider the opportunities such as setting up overseas plants at an appropriate time.

  4. In order to secure stock supply in order to satisfy the demand on the expansion of the aftermarket, the Company will focus on improving its production capability and revamping critical bottle-neck facilities. On one hand, the Company will proactively push on various technological revamping projects, including the investment in a production line of large-volume refrigerators, revamping critical bottle-neck facilities to enhance productivity and renovating and building staff dormitories for senior staff and dinning rooms to improve the living conditions of our staff and finally resolve the shortage of labour.

  5. Aggressively boosting the development of related products and increasing the new profit generating points, such as developing commercial air-conditioners.

Where:

  1. Notes receivable and trade receivables increased by 79.38% and 121.45%, respectively at the end of the Reporting Period as compared to that at the beginning of the Reporting Period, primarily because of the increase in the revenue of the Company during the Reporting Period. Besides, bank acceptances notes are currently the principal form of payment for the domestic sales in the PRC and thereby causing the increase in notes receivable and trade receivables at the end of the Reporting Period. Since June is a peak season for white home appliance industry, the increase in stock during the end of the Reporting Period was caused by the increase in storage of stock by the Company for the peak season.

  3. Notes payable decreased by approximately 40.37% 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.

  4. Trade payables increased by approximately 64.48% at the end of the Reporting Period as compared to that at the beginning of the Reporting Period, primarily because the Company is at its peak season for production during the Reporting Period, and the purchase volume of raw materials increased significantly.

Note 1: The sales of products from the Company or its subsidiaries to Hisense related party (including refrigerators and airconditioners, same as below)

The prices of products supplied from the Company or its subsidiaries to Hisense related party are principally determined by negotiation between the parties based on the principle of fairness and reasonableness with reference to the market price of the products and the pricing policy of OEM products within the industry.

The price of individual product to be sold by the Company or its subsidiaries to Hisense related party is determined according to the following standard:

The production costs of individual product of the Company or its subsidiaries + management fee + after-sale service fee the selling price of individual product to be sold by the Company or its subsidiaries to Hisense related party

After considering the above pricing standard and the relevant percentage level of the management fee and after-sale service fee of the Company or its subsidiaries and making reference with the market price of the products, the price of product (specific model) agreed by both parties is:

The price of product (specific model) to be sold by the Company or its subsidiaries to Hisense related party = production costs of product (specific model) of the Company or its subsidiaries/(1 – processing fee percentage) (Among which, the processing fee percentage for refrigerators is 0.07 and the processing fee percentage for air-conditioners is 0.05)

The self-transportation method was adopted for the transportation of the products.

NOTE IV. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES, ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND PREPARATION OF CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Accounting regulations and standards:

The accounting policies adopted by the Company are in accordance with “Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises” and the supplementary regulations issued by the Ministry of Finance of the PRC.

2. Accounting year:

The Company adopts the Gregorian calendar year as its accounting year, i.e. from 1 January to 31 December of each year.

3. Basis of accounting and principle of measurement:

The Company maintains its accounting records on accrual basis. Assets are recorded at historical cost. However, certain fixed assets were restated at assessed value from 1999.

4. Reporting currency:

The reporting currency of the Company is Renminbi (“RMB”).

5. Foreign exchange translation:

Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into RMB at the applicable rates of exchange (“market exchange rate”) prevailing at the dates of transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into RMB at the market exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date. Gains and losses arising on exchange are included in financial expenses, except from those arising from the special foreign borrowings for the acquisition and construction of fixed assets which were included in the cost of assets before they are ready for use, and those arising in the pre-operating periods which were recorded as long term deferred expenditures for amortisation.

6. Basis of consolidation:

(1) Consolidation scope

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries made up to the year ended 31 December each year. A subsidiary is an enterprise in which the Company, directly or indirectly, holds more than 50% of its total share capital, or where the Company controls the operation of the investee enterprise via other methods.

However, for those subsidiaries whose total assets, operating revenue and net profit are of an amount not material in accordance with the regulatory document “Answer to the Question about Consolidation Scope” (CKZ (96) No. 2) issued by the Ministry of Finance, their results are not included in consolidation. The Company accounts for the unconsolidated subsidiaries by using equity method.

(2) Consolidation method

The principal accounting policies adopted by the subsidiaries are not completely consistent with the Company’s policy. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the Company made necessary adjustments to the financial statements of these subsidiaries according to the accounting policies.

The operating results of subsidiaries during the period are included in the consolidated income statement and the consolidated cash flow statement from the effective date of acquisition as appropriate.

All significant intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated on consolidation.

7. Method for translation of foreign currency financial statements:

The foreign currency financial statements of the Group’s overseas subsidiaries are translated into RMB for consolidation by adopting the following methods:

Assets and liabilities are translated into RMB at the market exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date. Shareholders’ equity, except for retained earnings, are translated into RMB at the market rates at transaction dates. All items in the statements of income and profit appropriation are translated at the applicable average exchange rates for the accounting period of the consolidated financial statements. Retained earnings at the beginning of the year represent the translated closing balance brought forward from the previous year; retained earnings at year end are arrived at after the translation of all other items in the income statement. The difference between translated assets and translated liabilities plus equity is shown separately in the balance sheet as exchange differences arising from the translation of the foreign currency in the financial statements under the item “Accumulated profits”.

The translation of cash flow has been made at the average foreign exchange rate. The effect of foreign exchange rate changes on cash will be treated as adjustments and is shown separately as “Effect of foreign exchange rate changes on cash” in the cash flow statement.

8. Cash equivalents:

Cash equivalents are short-term (usually less than three months), highly liquidated investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are held by enterprises and subject to insignificant risk on changes in value.

9. Financial assets:

Financial assets may be classified upon initial recognition into: the financial assets measured at fair value and which changes stated as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, receivables, available-for-sale financial assets and held-to-maturity investments. The classification of financial assets depends on the intention and capacity of the Company and subsidiaries thereof to hold financial assets.

(1) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss include available-for-sale financial assets and financial assets specified to be measured at fair value through profit or loss.

(2) Receivables

Receivables refer to non-derivative financial assets on active markets without quotation and with fixed or determinable payments, including notes receivable, trade receivables, interest receivable, dividend receivable and other receivables.

(3) Available-for-sale financial assets

Available-for-sale financial assets include non-derivative financial assets specified as available for sale at the time of initial recognition and the financial assets not classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, receivables, and held-to-maturity investments. Available-for-sale financial assets to be sold within 12 months after the balance sheet date are stated as other current assets in the balance sheet.

NOTE IV. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES, ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND PREPARATION OF CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – Continued

9. Financial assets: – Continued

(4) Held-to-maturity investments

Held-to-maturity investments refer to non-derivative financial assets which have a fixed maturity date and fixed or determinable payments, and which the Company and subsidiaries thereof have the intention and capacity to hold to maturity. Held-to-maturity investments maturing within 12 months after the balance sheet date are stated as long-term assets due within one year in the balance sheet.

(5) Recognition and measurement

When the Company and subsidiaries become a party of the financial instrument contract, financial assets are initially recognised at fair value. The expenses relating to financial assets at fair value throught profit or loss are directly recorded in the income statement for the period. The expenses relating to other financial assets are included in the initial recognised amount. If the contract right to collect cash flow from a certain financial asset is terminated or if almost all the risks and returns relating to the ownership of the said financial asset have been transferred, recognition of the said financial asset will be derecognised.

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and available-for-sale financial assets are measured subsequently at fair value.

Change in fair value of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss is stated as profit or loss from change in fair value; interest or cash dividend obtained while holding the assets is recognised as investment income; at the time of disposal, the difference between the fair value and the book value is recognised as profit or loss from investment, and profit or loss from change in fair value is adjusted.

Profit or loss arising from change in fair value of available-for-sale financial assets, excluding impairment loss and exchange difference arising from foreign currency financial assets, is directly stated as shareholders’ equity, and is stated as profit or loss for the period when the recognition of the said financial assets is derecognised.

Receivables and held-to-maturity investments are stated as amortised cost using the effective interest rate.

(6) Impairment of financial assets

Except for financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, the Company and subsidiaries assess the book value of financial assets on the balance sheet date, and make the provision for impairment if there is objective evidence indicating a certain financial asset impaired.

If the fair value of available-for-sale financial assets decreases significantly or not temporarily, the cumulative loss arising from decreased fair value which previously stated as shareholders’ equity is stated as impairment loss. For available-for-sale equity investment which impairment loss is recognised, reversal of impairment loss can be made in subsequent periods when an increase in the fair value of financial assets can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised.

If any financial asset measured at amortised cost impairs, the book value of the said financial asset is written down as the current value of foreseeable future cash flow (excluding future credit loss not incurred), and the written-down amount is recognised as impairment loss and is stated as profit or loss for the period. If there is any objective evidence that the said financial asset has restored to its original value and objectively relates to events happening after the said loss is recognised, the original recognised loss will be restated as profit or loss for the period.

The impairment loss of equity investment which is not quoted on active market and the fair value of which cannot be measured reliably will not be restated if its value is restored in a subsequent period.

10. Provision for bad debts:

  • (1) Criteria for the recognition of bad debts

  • a. The irrecoverable amount for a debtor who becomes bankrupt after pursuing the statutory recovery procedures;

  • b. The irrecoverable amount for a debtor who dies and has no offsetting estate and obligatory undertakers;

  • c. The amount for a debtor who does not comply with repayment obligation after the debt becomes due, with sufficient evidence showing that such amount is irrecoverable or unlikely to be recovered.

(2) Accounting for provision for bad debts

General provision and specific provision for bad debts are accounted by using the allowance method which based on the recoverability of trade receivables as at period end.

Provision for general bad debts against the trade receivables for domestic customers is accounted with the reference to the aging analysis and the provision percentage as follows:

Age
Within three months (inclusive)
Within three to six months (including six months)
Within six months to one year (including one year)
Over one year
Percentage

10%
50%
100%

Bad debt provision made against trade receivables from overseas customers was first analysed the largeamount receivables individually, and then provision is made by using the aging analysis of accounts.

The provision for bad debts of other debtors is provided for individually based on the nature of current accounts and the past experiences of the Company, the actual financial position and cash flows condition of the debtor, and other information.

11. Inventories:

Inventories are stated at actual cost of acquisition. Inventories include raw materials, work-in progress and finished goods.

Standard cost is applied for the record of raw materials movement. At the end of each period, amortisation for cost variances is made to the standard cost to arrive at the actual cost.

Actual cost is applied for the record of movement of work-in-progress and finished goods, and is recognised on a weighted average basis.

Inventories are kept on a periodic inventory system. Inventories at year-end are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Provision for impairment loss of inventories is made when the cost of inventories is higher than the net realisable value because of damage, partially or totally obsolete or the sale price falling below the cost, etc. Provision for impairment loss of inventories is made on an individual basis for the difference between the cost and the net realisable value.

12. Long-term equity investment:

Long-term equity investments include equity investments of the Company in subsidiaries, equity investments of the Company in joint ventures and associates, and long-term equity investments of the Company in invested entities without control, joint control or material impact, without quotation on active market, and with fair value impossible to be measured reliably.

(a) Subsidiaries

Subsidiaries refer to invested entities on which the Company can exercise control, whose financial and operation policies the Company has the right to decide, and from whose operating activities the Company can obtain benefits. In determining whether control can be exercised on the invested entities, potential voting factors such as the current convertible bonds and current exercisable warrants of the invested entities are also considered. Investments in subsidiaries are stated at values determined by the cost method in the separate financial statements of the Company, and are consolidated after being adjusted by the equity method in the consolidated financial statements.

Long-term equity investments stated by the cost method are measured at initial investment cost. The cash dividend or profit to be distributed as announced by the invested entities is recognised as current investment income. The recognised investment income is limited to the acquired share of the cumulative net profit of the invested entities after accepting the investments; the part of profit or cash dividend exceeding the aforesaid amount is taken back as initial investment cost.

(b) Joint ventures and associates

Joint ventures refer to invested entities jointly controlled by the Company and other parties; associates refer to invested entities on which the Company has material influence in financial and operations decisions. Investments in joint ventures and associates are measured initially at actual cost, and measured subsequently by the equity method. If the initial investment cost is greater than the fair value of the due identifiable net asset of the invested entities at the time of investment, the difference is included in the initial investment cost; if the initial investment cost is smaller than the fair value of the due identifiable net asset of the invested entities at the time of investment, the difference is stated as profit or loss for the period, and the long-term equity investment cost is adjusted at the same time. In accounting by the equity method, the Company recognises the current investment profit or loss as per the net profit or loss of the invested entities to be shared by the Company. In recognising the net loss of the invested entities, the book value of the long-term equity investments and other long-term equity substantively forming net investments of the invested entities are written down until zero. However, if the Company has the obligation to undertake extra loss and the provision recognition conditions specified in the contingency standards are satisfied, investment losses and provision are still recognised. In respect of changes other than net profit or loss in shareholders’ equity of the invested entities, if the shareholding percentage remains the same, the part to be shared by the Company as per the shareholding percentage is directly stated as capital reserve. The book value of long-term equity investments is deducted as per the Company’s share of the profit or cash dividend distributed by the invested entities at the time of announcement of distribution. The unrealised profit or loss arising from transactions between the Company and the invested entities are offset within the range of the equity held by the Group in the invested entities; however, if the assets transferred in the said transactions impair, the corresponding unrealised profit or loss are not offset.

  • (c) Other long-term equity investments

Other long-term equity investments of the Company in invested entities without control, joint control or material impact, without quotation on active market, and with fair value impossible to be measured reliably are stated by the cost method.

(d) Impairment of long-term equity investments

If the recoverable value of long-term equity investments is lower than the book value, the book value is written down to the recoverable amount.

13. Investment properties:

Investment properties of the Company include the right to use land already leased, the right to use land held and prepared for transfer after appreciation and buildings already leased.

The Company makes follow-up measurement on investment properties by the cost method. The depreciation or amortisation method is based on depreciation method for buildings in fixed assets and amortisation method for land use right in intangible assets, and the method for provision for impairment is based on the corresponding method for fixed assets and intangible assets.

14. Fixed assets and depreciation:

Fixed assets are tangible assets held by the Company for production, provision of services, lease or operation, with useful life exceeding one year and with a relatively higher unit cost.

Fixed assets are recorded at actual cost on acquisition. Depreciation is provided to write off the cost of each category of fixed assets over their estimated useful lives using straight-line method from the month after they are put into use. The estimated residual values, estimated useful lives and annual depreciation rates of each category of fixed assets are as follows:

Estimated rate

0-5%
Machinery and equipment

Provision for impairment on fixed assets:

At the end of each year, the Company assesses if there is any indication that fixed assets are suffered from an impairment loss case by case and determines whether provision for impairment of fixed assets should be made accordingly. When the recoverable amount of any fixed assets is lower than its carrying amount, an impairment loss on fixed assets will be recognised for the difference.

15. Construction in progress:

Construction in progress is stated at actual cost incurred for the construction. Cost comprises construction expenditure incurred during the construction period, capitalised borrowing costs incurred on a specific borrowing for the construction of fixed assets before it has reached the working condition for its intended use and other relevant expenses. The construction in progress is transferred to fixed assets when it has reached the working condition for its intended use. No depreciation is provided for construction in progress.

Provision for impairment on construction in progress is made when the following situation exist (1) construction project is suspended for a long period and is not expected to be resumed within three years; (2) construction project is technically and physically obsolete and its economic benefits to the Company is uncertain; (3) other evidences can prove the existence of the decline in value of construction project. An impairment loss is recognised individually for the shortfall of the recoverable amount of construction in progress below its carrying amount.

16. Intangible assets:

Intangible assets are stated at actual cost. The actual cost of the intangible assets injected by the investors is determined by the value having been recognised by each party. The actual cost of acquired intangible assets is determined on the basis of the actual consideration paid. Intangible asset obtained with receivables is recognised at the book value of the receivables plus the cash compensation payable and the related tax expenses which are payable.

Intangible assets are amortised evenly and recorded as profit or loss for the period over the estimated useful life thereof as from the month of acquisition. If the estimated useful life is longer than the benefit period specified in the relevant contract or the validity period stipulated by law, the amortisation period will not be longer than the shorter of the benefit period and validity period. If the period during which the intangible assets bring economic benefits for the Group, the intangible assets are deemed as of indefinite useful life, but the useful life needs to be reviewed during each accounting period. If there is evidence that the useful life is limited, the intangible assets will be treated as of limited useful life. Intangible assets with indefinite useful life are not amortised.

Provision for impairment of intangible assets:

At the end of each year, the Company assesses if there is any indication that intangible assets are suffered from an impairment loss case by case. Where the recoverable amount of any intangible asset is lower than its carrying amount, an impairment loss on intangible assets is recognised for the difference.

17. Long-term deferred expenditures:

Unless related to the acquisition or construction of fixed assets, all expenditure incurred during the preoperating period is recognised as an expense in the month in which the enterprise commences operation.

Long-term deferred expenditures are recorded at cost when incurred, and amortised evenly over the expected benefited period.

18. Impairment on assets:

At impairment test is conducted every year on the goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful life separately stated in the financial statements regardless whether there is any indication of impairment. Impairment test is conducted on fixed assets, intangible assets, investment properties measured by cost method and long-term equity investments if they have any indication of impairment on the balance sheet date. If the test result indicates the recoverable amount of the assets is lower than the carrying amount, provision for impairment is made as per the difference and is stated as impairment loss. The recoverable amount is the higher of the net value of the fair value of the assets minus the disposal expenses and the current value of the foreseeable future cash flow of the assets. Provision for impairment of assets is calculated and recognised based on individual assets. If it is not possible to assess the recoverable amount of the individual assets, it will be determined by the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the assets belong.

19. Provision:

Provision is recognised when obligations related to contingent items satisfy the following conditions: (1) such obligation is a present obligation of the enterprise, (2) it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, and (3) a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

To the extent the amount payable for any provision will be compensated partly or wholly by a third party, such compensation will be recognised only when it is reasonably certain that the amount will be received.

20. Borrowing costs:

Borrowing costs represent costs incurred in connection with the borrowing of funds, including interest charges, amortisation of discount and premium, auxiliary costs, and exchange differences. Borrowing costs are capitalised if they are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset. Capitalisation of borrowing costs commences when the activities to prepare the asset are in progress and expenditures and borrowing costs are being incurred. Borrowing costs are capitalised until the assets are ready for their intended use. Other borrowing costs are recorded as financial expenses when incurred.

21. Staff costs:

Staff costs mainly include salary, bonus, subsidy and allowance, staff welfare, social insurance and housing provident fund, union fee, staff education fee, and other expenses relating to the services provided by the employees. Accrued payroll are recognised while the employees are providing services, and are stated as relevant costs and expenses according to the beneficiaries of the services provided by the employees.

22. Basis of revenue recognition:

Sales revenue: Sales revenue is recognised when the Company and the subsidiaries have transferred the significant risk and rewards of ownership to the buyer; and the Company neither retains the continuous managing rights usually related to the ownership nor control over the goods sold; the economic benefits associated with the transactions will flow into the Company; and relevant revenue and cost can be reliably measured.

Service income: Service income is recognised when the amount of revenue can be measured reliably; the stage of completion can be measured reliably; the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the enterprise and the costs incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably.

Interest income: Interest income is recognised on a time proportion basis at the applicable interest rates.

23. Leases:

Finance lease is the lease having actually transferred all the risks and rewards related to the ownership of assets. The leases other than the finance lease are operating leases.

Rental payment for operating leases is recognised as an expense at the straight line method over the lease term.

Rental income from operating leases is recognised as income at the straight line method over the relevant term.

24. Income taxes:

Income taxes are calculated by the balance sheet liability method.

The Company determines its tax basis when obtaining assets and liabilities. If the book value of assets and liabilities differ from the tax basis, the deferred tax assets or deferred tax liabilities are recognised pursuant to relevant provisions. The Company recognises the deferred tax asset arising from a deductible temporary difference to the extent of the amount of the taxable income which it is most likely to obtain and which can be deducted from the deductible temporary difference. For the deductible losses and tax deductions that can be carried forward to subsequent years, the Company recognises the corresponding deferred tax asset to the extent of the amount of the future taxable income which it is most likely to obtain and which can be deducted from the deductible losses and tax deductions.

On the balance sheet date, for the current tax liabilities (or assets) formed in the current and preceding periods are measured as per the foreseeable payable (or refundable) income tax calculated pursuant to the tax law. The deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are measured pursuant to the tax law at the applicable tax rate for the period in which the said assets are expected to be recovered or the said liabilities are expected to be settled. The book value of the deferred tax assets is reviewed on the balance sheet date. If it is likely that sufficient taxable income cannot be obtained in the future to offset the interest of the deferred tax assets, the book value of the deferred tax assets should be written down. If sufficient taxable income is likely to be obtained, the amount written down should be restated.

The notes receivables increased by 79.38% at the end of the period compared with the beginning of the period, primarily because the payments for domestic sales of the Company were settled mainly with bank acceptance bills. Increase of revenues from domestic sales of the Company in the first half of the year led to the increase of notes receivable.

NOTE X. OTHER MATERIAL EVENTS

1. Land use right of Shangqiu Kelon

Shangqiu Kelon’s minority shareholder Shangqiu Bing Xiong Freezing Facilities Co., Ltd. (“Shangqiu Bing Xiong”) concluded Land Transfer Agreement with Shangqiu Kelon and Administration Committee of Shangqiu Economic and Technological Development Zone in July 2004, under which agreement Shangqiu Bing Xiong transferred the right to use 200-mu land south of Nanjing Road, Shangqiu City, and Shangqiu Kelon should establish a project on the said land transferred thereto, in order to manufacture 2,000,000 ice makers per annum and effectuate an annual sales volume of RMB2,500,000,000 of icemakers, and manufacture 1,600,000 freezers per annum and effectuate an annual sales volume of RMB1,200,000,000 of freezers. The Administration Committee of Shangqiu Economic and Technological Development Zone reserved the right to take back the remaining land if the said project was not completed. Shangqiu Kelon obtained the land use permit, but “3-access and 1-level” (access to water, electricity and road and level land) were not realized, so Shangqiu Kelon did not use the said land and did not attain the specified targets.

Also, Shangqiu Kelon received a notice from the local court in August 2005, to the effect that the Administration Committee of Shangqiu Economic and Technological Development Zone instituted legal proceedings against Shangqiu Kelon in the local court, requesting to take back the 200-mu land located in Shangqiu Economic and Technological Development Zone and transferred by Shangqiu Bing Xiong to Shangqiu Kelon. The local court seized the right to use the said land. Shangqiu Kelon withdrew RMB18,207,006.81 provision for impairment of the said land use right. The case was under trial as at 30 June 2007.

2. Yangzhou Kelon

In June 2003, the Company and Yangzhou Economic Development Zone concluded Project Investment Agreement, under which Yangzhou Economic Development Zone provided the Company with 729,000-M[2] land in the Zone at the transfer price of RMB45,000,000, and the Company obtained the land use permit on 12 December 2003. In August 2003, the Company’s subsidiary Yangzhou Kelon and the Development Zone Sub-bureau of Yangzhou National Land and Resources Bureau concluded Agreement on the Transfer of Right to Use State-own Land, under which the transferor transferred the 729,000-M[2] land at the price of RMB102,073,860.00. Yangzhou Kelon paid RMB45,000,000 to the Development Zone Sub-bureau of Yangzhou National Land and Resources Bureau in November 2003 and paid RMB40,000,000 to the Finance Bureau of Yangzhou Economic Development Zone.

Yangzhou Kelon originally stated RMB102,073,860 as land cost. On 31 December 2005, Yangzhou Kelon claimed, according to the lawyer’s opinions, that the actual purchase price of the said land should be RMB45,000,000 plus relevant taxes RMB1,800,000, i.e. the book value of the said land should be RMB46,800,000, therefore the Company wrote down the land cost by RMB55,273,860.
