Well if whatever chemical process is occuring is creating bonds of more energy than those which are being broken, then energy is being put INTO the "thing" (wooo to scientific terminology) and thus things get colder, but it's endothermic.
I wish it wasn't nearly two years since I did anything about chemical reactions!
