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 and six months ended June 30, 2007 for its acquisition candidate, Head Dragon Holdings Limited (see attached tables). As previously noted, on April 19, 2007, Chardan South announced that it 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 June 30, 2007 Head Dragon had revenue of $54.11 million, an increase of 73.1% from $31.26 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006. Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2007 was $6.07 million, an increase of 156.6% from $2.37 million for the same period the prior year. Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2007 totaled $7.67 million, up from $2.41 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006, an increase of 218%.

Head Dragon's backlog, which is the total value of all open contracts less the revenue recognized from those contracts, also grew dramatically during the second quarter of 2007. The contract backlog as of June 30, 2007 was $469.5 million, an increase of 45.6% from a backlog of $322.5 million as of March 31, 2007. Since contracts historically have been completed over twelve to eighteen months, a substantial portion of this revenue should be realized during the current year, with the remainder expected to be recognized in fiscal 2008.

Mr. Jinxing Lu, GaoKe's Chairman and CEO commented, "During the second quarter of 2007 we experienced a surge in revenue and earnings. Based on the continued growth in contract backlog, we expect our revenue and earnings growth to continue. We are on track to exceed the defined incentive share earnings target for 2007 and look forward to closing the merger with Chardan South to become a U.S. publicly listed company."
