Hisense Kelon intends to lodge an arbitration against the Fu Shan Town Government of Zhong Shan. ”

Company by the Fu Sha Town Government of Zhong Shan. In 2004, the Company participated in the reorganization of Zhong Shan Weili group. The Company had contributed capital jointly with Kelon Development Company Limited ( 科龙发展有限公司 ), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, with Shun Chang Industrial Company Limited ( 顺畅工业有限公司 ) of Zhong Shan Fu Sha Town, to establish Guangdong Kelon Weili Electrical Company Limited ( 广东科龙威力电器有限公司 ) (the “ Kelon Weili ” ). During the period, Kelon Weili borrowed a loan from the Company to pay the first land grant premium of RMB 7,500,000 to the Fu Sha Town Government. However, Kelon Weili still had not obtained the land for industrial use situated at 2 Fu Sha Industrial Park as previously committed by the Fu Sha Town Government, nor had received the refund of such amount. . As at the date of this announcement, the Company has not taken any legal action in relation to this issue. Such amount was not part of the funds embezzled by Gu Chu Jun, his associated companies and the specified third party; the Company has made a bad debt provision in respect of 50% of such receivables. The Company is in the course of negotiating with the Fu Sha Town Government in relation to their continual cooperation and the resolution of this matter. The board of the directors of the Company expect that the chance of recovering such amount will not be less than 50%.

The announcement of such estimated results is made on the basis of the Company ’ s actual status in the first three quarters and under the normal operating environment in the fourth quarter, without taking into account any unpredictable factors such as the disposal of relevant assets and the impairment of assets, which will have an impact on the accuracy of the estimated results.
