Business Wire, August 14, 2007

Revenue Increased to $17.5 Million from $3.6 Million

Net Income Increased to $1.6 Million from $46,000

Backlog Increased to $322.5 Million from $86.9 Million

SAN DIEGO & SHENYANG, China -- Chardan South China Acquisition Corp. (OTCBB: CSCA, CSCAU, CSCAW) ("Chardan South"), a SPAC[R] incorporated in March 2005 for the purpose of acquiring an operating entity in the PRC, announced today the unaudited financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2007 for its acquisition candidate, Head Dragon Holdings Limited ("Head Dragon") (see attached tables).

On April 19, 2007, Chardan South announced that it had signed a definitive stock purchase agreement pursuant to which it will acquire 100% of the common stock of Head Dragon, the owner of Liaoning GaoKe Energy Group ("GaoKe"). GaoKe, founded in 2003, is the largest private Chinese engineering company providing design, construction, installation and operating expertise for distributed power generation and micro power networks in China.

For the three months ended March 31, 2007 Head Dragon had net income of $1.6 million, up from $46,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2006.

Head Dragon's backlog, which is the total value of all open contracts less the revenue recognized from those contracts, grew dramatically during the first quarter of 2007. The contract backlog as of March 31, 2007 was $322.5 million, an increase of 271% from $86.9 million as of March 31, 2006. Since contracts historically have been completed over twelve to eighteen months, a substantial portion of this revenue will be realized during the current year, with the remainder to be recognized in fiscal 2008. In addition, GaoKe signed another two MOUs during the first quarter of 2007.

Mr. Jinxing Lu, GaoKe's Chairman and CEO commented, "During the first three months of 2007 we experienced a rapid expansion of our business revenue and backlog. Our revenue grew to $17.5 million in the first quarter from $3.6 million for the same period a year earlier. This increase occurred despite the seasonally poor weather and related contract delays in the Northern provinces of China where most of our projects are located. Our backlog also continued to surge as more and more factories and development zones seek to install economical distributed power generation systems to augment or replace power from the national grid. We expect that the trend will continue into the foreseeable future, which bodes well for GaoKe."
