3.2 Analysis and explanation of progress and impact of major events and solutions
Applicable Not applicable
- 3.2.1 The auditor’s report issued by Shenzhen Dahua Tiangcheng Certified Public Accountants for the company’s annual report 2006 contained a qualified opinion. The explanations to the qualified auditors’ opinion in details are 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 related parties (the “Greencool Companies”) during the period from October 2001 to July 2005. In addition, the Greencool Companies, through certain specified third party companies such as Tianjin Lixin Commercial Trading Development Company Limited, involved in a series of unsual 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 for judgement. 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 31 December 2006, the balance of the accounts receivables of the Company from Greencool Companies and the aforesaid specified third party companies amounted to RMB651,000,000.
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. 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 RMB1,000,000,000, and the total claim amount against Greencool Companies by the creditors to the court amounted to approximately RMB2,400,000,000. The amount claimed by the Company for the fund embezzlement of Greencool Companies amounted to RMB792,000,000. 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 amount and made a provision of RMB364,000,000 for bad debts.
4
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 for the year ended 2006.
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 31 December 2006. 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.
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.
Note: this is a reserved matter on the cost of principal operations in 2005. The Company was unable to make retrospective adjustments for the cost of principal operations in 2005 due to the restrictions of conditions; however, the calculation and audit of the costs of principal operations in 2006 resumed normal as the Company made improvement in its stock control system and costs calculation and audit system. Such reserved matter will have no impact on the income statement of 2006 and the cash flow statement of 2006.
3.2.2 Funds tied up for non-operational uses and settlement progress
By the end of the reporting period, the Company’s funds in the aggregate sum of RMB689,219,900 were tied up for non-operational uses by its former substantial shareholder and its subsidiaries, certain third parties and other connected parties, of which, an aggregate amount of RMB650,694,100 was tied up by the former substantial shareholder Guangdong Greencool Enterprise Development Company Limited and its connected companies (the “Greencool companies”) and certain third parties, and an aggregate amount of RMB38,525,800 was tied up by other connected parties.
Up to date, the Company has filed 21 litigations with a total claim amount of RMB792 million, and has taken confiscating, freezing or preserving measures over the valuable properties of Greencool companies and Gu Chu Jun to the largest extent. By the end of the reporting period, the Company has taken confiscating measure over 12 assets and has taken assets preserving measure over 13 accounts.
