3. SIGNIFICANT EVENTS
3.1 Significant changes of the principal accounting statements and financial indicators and
reasons thereof
( X ) applicable ( ) not applicable
The decrease in net profit recorded in the third quarter as compared to the
corresponding period of the previous year was mainly due to the inclusion in the
corresponding period of the previous year of an one-off gain from the disposal of
Dragonair of RMB2,673 million (RMB1,844 million attributable to the Company). Excluding
this one-off gain, the net profit attributable to the Company for the third quarter in
2007 increased 92.8% over the corresponding period of the previous year.
3.2 Analysis and explanation on the progress of significant events and their impact and
resolutions
( X ) applicable ( ) not applicable
On 26 February 2007, the Eastern District Court of New York of the Federal Judiciary of
the United States filed a civil summon against the Company and Air China Cargo, claiming
that they, together with a number of other airlines, have violated certain anti- trust
regulations in respect of their air cargo operations in the United States by acting in
concert in imposing excessive surcharges to impede the offering of discounts and
allocating revenue and customers so as to achieve increasing, maintaining and
stabilising air cargo prices. As the status of the proceedings is still in the
preliminary stage, the Directors of the Company are of the view that it is not possible
to estimate the eventual outcome of the claim with reasonable certainty and therefore no
provision for this claim has been made at this stage.
On 10 July 2007, the Company entered into an aircraft purchase agreement with
Air China Group Import and Export Trading Co. and Airbus for the purchase of 23
Airbus 320-Series aircraft from Airbus. For details, please see the Company's
Announcement on the Purchase of Aircraft dated 11 July 2007 published on the 'China
Securities Journal', the 'Shanghai Securities News' and the 'Securities Daily', as well
as the website of Shanghai Stock Exchange at http://www.sse.com.cn.
3.3 Performance of undertakings given by the Company, shareholders and the effective
controlling person
( X ) applicable ( ) not applicable
China National Aviation Holding Company ('CNAHC') and China National Aviation
Corporation (Group) Limited made an undertaking that it would not transfer, or nominate
other persons to manage, the shares of the Company held by it, and none of these shares
would be acquired by the Company, during the period of 36 months from the listing date
of the A shares of the Company. CNAHC further undertakes to increase its shareholding on
the following basis: during the period commencing from the listing and trading of the A
shares available for subscription online at a fixed price under this A share offer and
ended on 31 December 2006, subject to the condition that the market price of the A
shares of the Company was lower than the issue price, CNAHC would increase its
shareholding through the secondary market as required by the relevant regulations at a
4
price no less than the prevailing market price, until reaching the level of the issue price,
with the accumulated increase of shareholding not more than 600 million A shares. The waiver
of an offer for acquisition involved in such shareholding increase plan was obtained from the
China Securities Regulatory Commission on 17 August 2006. As at 21 August 2006, CNAHC
increased its shareholding by 122,870,578 shares of the Company in aggregate and no further
increase was made since then. The undertaking to increase its shareholding given by CNAHC
expired on 31 December 2006 and there was no transfer of the aforesaid increased shares within
12 months after completion of the shareholding increase plan.
3.4 Warning in respect of forecast of possible net loss from the beginning of the year to the end
of the next Reporting Period or warning in respect of any significant changes in net profit as
