3.2 Development of significant matters and analysis of their impacts and solutions

√ Applicable □Not applicable

3.2.1 EXPLANATION GIVEN BY THE BOARD OF THE COMPANY OF THE CHANGES AND TREATMENT OF THE MATTERS RELATING TO THE QUALIFIED OPINIONS IN THE AUDITOR’S REPORT FOR THE 2008 ANNUAL REPORT :

Qualified Matter: As described in Notes 6.4, 6.6, 10 and 11 to the financial statements, there was a series of related party transactions and unusual cash inflows and outflows between Guangdong Greencool Enterprise Development Limited, the former largest shareholder of the Company, and its related parties (hereinafter referred to as the “Greencool Companies”) and the Company during the period from October 2001 to July 2005. In addition, during such period, the Greencool Companies, through the specific third party companies such as Tianjin Lixin Commercial Trading Development Company Limited, involved in a series of unusual cash inflows and outflows with the Company. The Company has brought legal actions before court on such transactions and unusual cash inflows and outflows as well as the suspected fund embezzlements. These issues are related to the Company’s amounts due from or to the Greencool Companies and the specific third party companies mentioned above.

As at 31 December 2008, the balance of amounts due from the Greencool Companies and such specific third party companies was RMB651 million. The Company has made a provision for bad debts of RMB365 million in respect of the amounts due from the Greencool Companies and such third party companies. As described in Note 11 to the financial statements, the abovementioned cases have achieved significant progress, with most cases obtaining judgments in favour of the Company. However, we are unable to adopt appropriate audit procedures to obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence to ascertain as to whether or not the estimated provision for bad debts based on such amounts and the assessment and calculation of the accounts receivable are reasonable.

Explanation from the Board in the 2008 Annual Report: There was a series of related party transactions and unusual cash inflows and outflows between the Company and Guangdong Greencool Enterprise Development Limited, the former largest shareholder of the Company, and its related parties, or through its third party companies, from 2001 to 2005. Such transactions and unusual cash inflows and outflows as well as the suspected fund embezzlements have been formally investigated by relevant authorities. As at 31 December 2008, the balance of amounts due from the Greencool Companies and the abovementioned specific third party companies was RMB651 million.

The Company has estimated, based on the information available at present relating to such cases, the recoverable amount from such amounts due from the Greencool Companies and the specific third party companies, and has made a provision for bad debts of RMB365 million. The bases of the estimate include: the information regarding the property of the Greencool Companies sealed and frozen by the court at the request of the Company, and the preliminary analysis report on the aforesaid fund embezzlements prepared by the lawyer of the Company. As analyzed by the lawyer, the properties of the Greencool Companies that can be used for settlement amounted to approximately RMB1 billion, and the total amount of debt in dispute of the Greencool Companies was approximately RMB2.4 billion. The amount claimed by the Company for fund embezzlements by the Greencool Companies was RMB791 million. The Company sought to have the outstanding amount settled based on the debt-to-property ratio. Based on the estimated settlement proportion, and taking into consideration that the case is still subject to trial, the court has not recognized the amount due to the Company. The Board of the Company estimated the recoverable amount and made a provision for bad debts of RMB365 million.

Meanwhile, the law firm handling this case declared that, as the court has not determined the arrangement for allocation of the property sealed in the abovementioned cases, the law firm is not able to assert on the outcome of the cases and the accurate recovery rate.

The Board of the Company considers that the provision for bad debts is an accounting estimate. The accounting method applied to such accounts receivable does not breach the relevant requirements of the

5

Accounting System for Business Enterprises. Although the relevant courts gave 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 specific third parties (the judgments for thirteen cases have become effective), the abovementioned seventeen cases have not been enforced so far. The Board of the Company is of the view that: as there is no material difference in its judgment on the recoverability of such accounts receivable in 2008 as compared with that in 2007, this qualified opinion will not have any impact on the fairness in the preparation of the Company’s income statement for 2008.

Upon finalisation of the abovementioned debt settlement ratio, the Company will, based on the finalised ratio of recovery, adjust retrospectively the 2005 balance sheet and income statement, as well as the relevant items of the balance sheets as at 31 December 2006, 31 December 2007 and 31 December 2008. The Company has taken measures to sequestrate the property of the Greencool Companies which is available for settlement. The Company will also pay close attention to the progress of the cases and use its best endeavour to ensure its rights as a creditor.

As at the date of this Report, all judgments of first instance in favour of the Company on seventeen litigations have become effective. However, since the above cases have not been enforced to date, the Board of the Company is of the view that there is no material difference in its judgment on the recoverability of such accounts receivable as compared with its previous judgment.

3.2.2 Funds Embezzled For Non-operating Purposes and the Their Settlement Progress

As at the end of the Reporting Period, the total funds of the Company embezzled by a former substantial shareholder and its subsidiaries, the specific third parties and other related parties for non-operating reasons amounted to RMB655,149,500 in aggregate, of which, a total amount of RMB650,694,100 was embezzled by a former substantial shareholder Guangdong Greencool and its subsidiaries and the specific third parties and the remaining balance of RMB4,455,400 was embezzled by other related parities.

A specialized task force of the Company has stepped up its effort to recover the embezzled funds pursuant to the requirement of the “Notice on Expediting the Loan Recovering Process”) (Zheng Jian Gong Si Zi No. 92) (《關於進一步加快推進清欠工作的通知》(證監公司字[2006]92號)). The progress up to the date of this report is as follow:

The Company has initiated 19 proceedings against the Greencool Companies and the specific third parties with the total amount in dispute of RMB791 million. As at the date of this Report, Foshan Intermediate Court has made judgments of first instance on all 19 cases. Currently, the judgments on 17 cases have become effective, involving a total amount of RMB748 million; 1 case has been withdrawn, involving an amount of RMB29,843,700; 1 case has been dismissed due to insufficiency of evidence, involving an amount of RMB12,289,400. In respect of cases with judgment becoming effective, the Company has set up a specialized task force to proceed the settlement progress in its best endeavour. The Company has applied to Foshan Intermediate Court for the enforcement of the judgment of each of the cases, and has reported the enforcement procedures to the Supreme People’s Court through courts at the provincial and municipal levels. The Company will continue to communicate with relevant judicial authorities actively to enforce the settlement cases and will strive for the earliest possible completion of the cases.

3.2.3 Material litigations and arbitrations of the Company

As at 30 September 2009, the Company and its subsidiaries were involved in 103 litigations with a

6

total claim amount of RMB161,726,100.

Among the litigations above, the Company and its subsidiaries acted as plaintiff in a total of 9 cases, involving the total claim amount of RMB122,836,100, and as defendants in a total of 94 cases (of which 43 cases were initiated by minority shareholders, 24 cases were labour disputes and 27 cases were trading and labour controversies), involving the total claim amount of RMB38,890,000 .

Among the aforementioned litigations involving the Company and its subsidiaries, there was 1 litigation or arbitration as disclosed above involving an amount exceeding RMB10,000,000 each (with a total claim amount of RMB99,984,100) and 102 litigations with a claim amount of less than RMB10,000,000 each (with a total claim amount of RMB61,742,000).

3.2.4 The Development of Non-public Issue of Shares

On 17 July 2009, the Company issued the “(Draft) Report Relating to the Non-public Issue of Shares (A Shares) by the Company for Acquiring Assets and Connected Transactions”. On 11 August 2009, the Company received the approval-in-principle from Qingdao State-owned Assets Supervision and Administrative Committee in relation to the proposal of the subscription of the non-public issue of shares of the Company in consideration of injection of the white goods assets by Qingdao Hisense Air-Conditioning Company Limited (“Hisense Air-Conditioning”) to the Company. The Company received on 28 August 2009 a notice that the executive director, or his/her representative, of the Corporate Finance Division of the Securities and Futures Commission in Hong Kong has granted a conditional waiver to Hisense Air-Conditioning from the obligation to make a general offer for all the shares of the Company as a result of the Company’s issue of the consideration shares. The Company convened a general meeting and class meetings on 31 August 2009, at which the relevant resolutions regarding the assets restructuring were passed. The Company received on 25 September 2009 the “Notice on the Acceptance of the Application for the Administrative Permission” (《行政許可申請受理通知書》) (No. 091261) issued by the CSRC, pursuant to which the CSRC, upon review of the application materials of the Company for the administrative permission relating to the Approval for Acquisition of Assets through Issuance of Shares by Listed Company” (《上市公司發行股份購買資產核准》), considered that such application materials were complete and complied with the statutory form, and therefore decided to accept such application. For details of the above development, please refer to the announcements dated 16 July 2009, 11 August 2009, 31 August 2009 and 28 September 2009.

3.3 Performance of undertakings given by the Company, shareholders and controlling parties

On 29 March 2007, the Company successfully completed the share reform scheme. Other than the statutory undertakings, Hisense Air-conditioning, a substantial shareholder of the Company, has made three special undertakings , the performance of which are as follows: the “Undertaking of Lock-up Period” is being executed; the “Undertaking of Share Borrowing” has been executed; and for the “Undertaking of Offering Additional Shares”, due to the failure to accomplish the white goods assets restructuring of the Company within the prescribed period, Hisense Air-conditioning has

7

executed its undertaking to offer additional shares to the holders of shares not subject to selling restrictions. During the Reporting Period, the Company issued a proposal in relation to the major asset restructuring. Hisense Air-Conditioning undertakes that: in the event of completion of the restructuring, the shares issued by the Company through the non-public issue under this transaction shall not be transferred within 36 months from the date of registration of the shares under its name.
