NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

30 June 2009

1. GENERAL INFORMATION

Hisense Kelon Electrical Holdings Company Limited (the "Company") is a public limited company 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.

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.

In December 2006, a share reform scheme (the "Share Reform Scheme") was set up for converting the Company's domestic legal person shares, which were not freely transferable, into the Company's freely transferable A shares (the "Transferable Shares"). Pursuant to the provisions in the Share Reform Scheme, Hisense Air-Conditioner undertakes that it will make advance allocation of shares to respective A shares shareholders on behalf of other domestic legal person shareholders who have not explicitly given consent to participate in the Share Reform Scheme. As a result, Hisense Air-Conditioner obtained 238,872,074 Transferable Shares of the Company subject to certain selling restrictions on 29 March 2007 when the Share Reform Scheme was approved in the A shares general meeting.

On 28 March 2008, the proposed Acquisition of White Goods Assets of Hisense Air-Conditioner (the "Acquisition") was rejected by the Merger and Reorganisation Review Committee of the CSRC (China Securities Regulatory Commission). Pursuant to the Share Reform Scheme completed on 29 March 2007, Hisense Air-Conditioner made a compensation of 9,725,059 shares calculated based on 0.5 shares for every 10 transferable A shares held by such holders as registered on 10 April 2008 as that the Acquisition was not completed by 29 March 2008. The share held by Hisense Air-Conditioner was reduced to 229,147,015 shares, representing 23.10% of the Company's total share capital.

On 10 April 2008 and 19 June 2008, two domestic legal person shareholders joined to convert their non-freely transferable shares into the Transferable Shares of the Company. Pursuant to the provisions in the Share Reform Scheme, these domestic legal person shareholders availed 5,228,907 A shares to Hisense Air-Conditioner. Accordingly, the total number of A shares held by Hisense Air-Conditioner was increased to 234,375,922 shares, representing 23.63% of the Company's total share capital.

As at 30 June 2009, Hisense Air-Conditioner held 250,173,722 shares representing 25.22% of the Company's total share capital and continued to be the major single largest shareholder of the Company.

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, comprising the Company and its subsidiaries, is principally engaged in the manufacture and sale of refrigerators and air-conditioners.

The address of the registered office and principal place of business 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 entities.

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES

As at 30 June 2009, the Group's current liabilities exceeded its current assets by approximately RMB2,686 million in which the Group has outstanding short-term loans in the aggregate of approximately RMB1,714 million. After taking into consideration the existing banking facilities available and operating advances from related companies, the Company's management is 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 therefore 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.

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 2008. These condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereon do not include all of the information required for a 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 2008 annual financial statements.

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 the same accounting policies adopted in the 2008 annual financial statements. The Group has adopted the following new and revised IFRSs that are effective for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2009.

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION AND ACCOUNTING POLICIESContinued

As a result of the adoption of IAS 1 (Revised), details of changes in equity during the period arising from transactions with equity holders in their capacity as such have been presented separately from all other income and expenses in a revised consolidated statement of changes in equity. All other items of income and expense are presented in a new primary statement, the consolidated statement of comprehensive income. The new format for the consolidated statement of comprehensive income and the consolidated statement of changes in equity has been adopted in these interim financial statements and corresponding amounts have been restated to conform to the new presentation. This change in presentation has no effect on reported profit or loss, total income and expense or net assets for any period presented.

Except for as stated above, the adoption of the new and revised IFRSs did not result in significant changes to the Group's accounting policies.

The Group has not yet applied the following revised standards, amendments or interpretations that have been issued but are not yet effective. The directors of the Company are in the process of making an assessment of the potential impact of the application of these revised standards, amendments and interpretations and it is so far concluded that the application of these revised standards, amendments and interpretations will have no material impact on the results and financial position of the Group.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

PERFORMANCE REVIEW

During the Reporting Period, under the effect of the global financial crisis, the Group faced unfavourable operating conditions of shrinking export, decreasing demand in the domestic market and slowdown of economic growth. Meanwhile, aggravation of brand concentration in the air-conditioner sector resulted in intensifying market competition. Under the abovementioned adverse operating environment, the Group adhered to its operational strategy of "reshaping advantage in quality, focusing on market-orientation, strictly controlling operational risks and reinforcing project management" and implemented a series of measures in the following aspects:

Product position was further defined with strengthened product planning, whereas the efficiency of product research and development was enhanced and research and development costs were reduced through reinforcing the standardization of products. Quality management was further strengthened to continuously improve product quality standard and market competitiveness. Centering on the market demand, the Group enhanced its internal research and development ("R&D"), production and quality management flow in order to provide the market with new products with higher competitiveness in terms of cost, quality and function. The value engineering of products was promoted by upgrading the internal production and operating efficiency and reducing costs. Upholding the philosophy of maintaining a stable operation against the real situation of financial crisis, the Group continued to strengthen its management on working capital, monitor the capital risk stringently, improve the utilization of capital and reduce finance costs.

Through the aforesaid measures, the Group recorded a revenue from its principal operations of RMB4,435,760,000 during the Reporting Period, representing a decrease of 12.11% as compared to the corresponding period in 2008; a net profit of RMB149,712,000, representing an increase of RMB87,087,000 as compared to the corresponding period in 2008; and a profit attributable to shareholders of RMB149,236,000.

ANALYSIS OF OPERATION STRUCTURE

During the Reporting Period, of the revenue from the Group's principal operations, the revenue from the refrigerator business accounted for 56.67% of the total turnover, representing an increase of 8.30% as compared to the corresponding period last year; the revenue from the air-conditioner business accounted for 31.28% of the total turnover of the Group, representing a decrease of 36.93% as compared to the corresponding period last year; and the remaining 12.05% of the total turnover was generated from other businesses, such as sales of freezers and product components.

In addition, the domestic sales business accounted for 65.04% of the total turnover of the Group representing a decrease of 5.26% as compared to the corresponding period last year; and the overseas sales business accounted for 34.96% of the total turnover of the Group, representing a decrease of 22.51% as compared to the corresponding period last year.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSISContinued

REFRIGERATOR BUSINESS

During the Reporting Period, the Group achieved an effective improvement in the aspects such as procurement management, optimization of procedures, quality control, new product development and adjustment mechanism. A sound improvement and significant benefits were seen in cost-reduction and efficiency-enhancing efforts such as value engineering programme and optimization of procurement procedures. Through reinforced technological breakthroughs, optimized production process, highly effective production and reduced consumption, the cost of the Group has been lowered for a higher margin. The quality loss of single product was reduced through reinforced quality control. Meanwhile, the Group continued to consolidate its product platform, persist in product universality and standardization, strengthen product planning on the basis of enhanced marketing research efforts and reduce the number of product models, and established the concept of protection awareness based on market demand through setting up an incentive system to motivate the sales team in order to achieve a win-win situation of business cooperation between product companies and the sale team. The above proactive measures have laid a solid foundation for the sustainable development of refrigerator business in respect of cost reduction, quality improvement and technological innovation, and successfully generated significant benefits in the current period. In addition, the Group gave enormous support for the "Home Appliances Subsidy Policy for Rural Areas and Villages" policy and promptly arranged for product development and network construction. Subsequently, the refrigerator business recorded a growth in the third-and-fourth-tier markets, and positive growth in scale and benefits was sustained despite adverse economic situations. As such, although the refrigerator business was still operating under challenging external operating environments, the scale of the refrigerator business of the Group increased by 8.30% as compared to the corresponding period last year. The gross profit margin also increased significantly as compared to the corresponding period last year.

AIR-CONDITIONER BUSINESS

During the Reporting Period, as affected by various factors such as sluggish domestic consumption, significant decrease in export and modification of the State's energy efficiency policy, manufacturers have cleared out the products with low energy efficiency during the first half of the year. Such large scale clearance across the industry has unavoidably affected the market price competition and gross profit margin level, which in turn reduced the profitability in the air-conditioner sector.

According to the statistics of the industry, both the production volume and sales volume in the air-conditioner sector during the Reporting Period have decreased significantly as compared to the corresponding period last year under the influence of the above factors, and inventory level also dropped to a record low since the financial year of 2004.

In view of the abovementioned adverse factors, the Group enhanced the product research and development procedures during the Reporting Period, and the product design cost accordingly showed a remarkable improvement. Meanwhile, the Group also further strengthened technological development and designed products that meet the market demand in the rural areas in alignment with the "Home Appliances Subsidy Policy for Rural Areas and Villages" programme. On the other hand, in response to the modifications of the State's energy-efficiency standards, the Group fine-tuned its product planning and product life cycle management in accordance with the standards, and the number of products lines complying with the new energy-efficiency standards has increased and the product refinement project was launched to enhance its product competitiveness. The Group stepped up its efforts to clear out the products with low energy-efficiency to make way for the launch of high energy-efficiency products. A sound improvement in product quality was achieved as compared to the corresponding period last year, through strengthening the inspection of design quality and improvement in production process quality.

In general, although sales revenue from air-conditioner business recorded a negative growth as compared to the corresponding period last year amidst the industrial depression, the abovementioned measures have eliminated the influence of both internal and external adverse factors. Furthermore, with the Group's value engineering programme and efforts to improve efficiency and cost control, costs were reduced significantly and the gross profit margin was improved.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSISContinued

ANALYSIS OF IMPACTS ON RESULTS

The management of the Group is of the view that the decrease in the revenue from principal operations for the Reporting Period as compared to last year was mainly attributable to changes in both domestic and external economic conditions, and the recession in the entire industry. Although the deterioration of the external environment exerted significant impacts on the business of the Group, the Group has taken a number of measures to enhance its operating quality amidst the market downturn during the Reporting Period. As a result, the results posted a more significant growth as compared to last year.

The analysis of the major reasons for the growth in results are as follows:

  • (1) The Group provided the market with more competitive products in terms of costs, quality and functions and created the competitive advantage for its products by optimizing the research and development and the production process of products, strengthening cost management, enhancing liquidity risk control and catering for the market demand;
  • (2) The Group further strengthened its product quality management and reduced its quality loss significantly, particularly for the single product loss. Its product competitiveness was enhanced;
  • (3) The Group adhered to the market orientation via focusing on the ultimate demand and adjusting the incentive mechanism for its sales representatives, which increased the incentive and morale of the entire sales team;
  • (4) The Group promoted the value engineering to optimize its operating management process. In the first half of 2009, the Group continued to implement its industry benchmark projects, while implementing the projects for the optimization of the research and development process, the procurement process, the inventory and logistics management of products and the improvement of staff performance based on the prevailing operating environment. Significant results were achieved in the continuous control of operating costs and the improvement of operating quality, which were the driving force for a substantial increase in the gross profit margin of the Group's products;
  • (5) The economies of scale in respect of material procurement were witnessed gradually after the consolidation and optimization of suppliers;
  • (6) During the Reporting Period, given the relatively stable exchange rate movement, exchange loss of the Group decreased.

OUTLOOK

The management of the Group is of the view that the external operating environment of the Group in the second half of 2009 will remain blue. With the continuous industry downturn, various macro-economic situations beyond control and difficult global home appliance market conditions, the industry will be under significant operating pressure.

With the increasing awareness of energy efficiency of products in both domestic and overseas markets and the introduction of the relevant mandatory standards, the competition among refrigerator and air-conditioner products in terms of energy-saving technology is intensifying, which will lead to further improvement of product structure. As a leading enterprise in the domestic household appliance industry in terms of technology, the Group will adhere to the operating strategy to maintain itself as a technology-based enterprise. The change in government policies in respect of energy saving and environmental protection will bring more development opportunities to the Group.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSISContinued

OUTLOOKContinued

In view of the impact of the macro-environment in the PRC and the overall situation of the industry, the Group will focus on mitigating risk and enhancing development, and strengthen its efforts in the following areas:

    1. To continue to control operating risks strictly, particularly in respect of the fund allocation management, dispose of idle assets and accelerate cash flow;
    1. To leverage on the opportunities brought by "Home Appliance Subsidy Policy for Rural Villages", "Home Appliance Replacement Scheme" and "Energy Efficiency Product Subsidy", increase market share and enhance the operating efficiency of the Group;
    1. To continue to enhance the optimization of management processes, increase R&D efficiency, lower costs, improve product quality and enhance the operating quality of the Group;
    1. To pay close attention to market changes and adjust the allocation of resources, adjust sales structure and inventory structure timely based on orders, increase profitability, reduce ineffective resource investment and waste, and mitigate risks.

EXPOSURE TO EXCHANGE RATE FLUCTUATION AND ANY RELATED HEDGE

I. 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

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.

I. 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 — Continued

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 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 party (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 of the date of this report, among the aforesaid 17 litigations in which the judgments of first instance were made in favour of the Company, the judgments of 16 litigations have become effective. However, as the abovementioned cases have not been enforced so far, 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.

The Company has initiated 19 proceedings with the total amount in dispute of RMB791 million.
