APPRAISAL OF COAL GASIFICATION CO
 
Appraisal of Coal Gasification Co has been conducted by Beijing Pan-China Assets Appraisal Co., Ltd., an independent assets appraisal company qualified to engage in securities business in the PRC, based on an asset based approach.

PRICING POLICY OF AND REASONS FOR THE CAPITAL INCREASE
 
The consideration of the Transaction has arrived at after various negotiations by the existing shareholders of Coal Gasification Co and has already taken into account the future business conditions and profitability of Coal Gasification Co as well as the appraised value of the total shareholders’ equity as set forth in the abovementioned assets appraisal report.

Coal Gasification Co undertakes the construction of the Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle ("IGCC") Project. IGCC Project was approved by the State Development and Reform Commission in May 2009 and started in July 2009. It is expected to be ready for operation by the end of 2011. The project comprising of one 250MW IGCC power generation unit has been listed as a key new energy project under the 863 Program.


 
 

 

IGCC is a highly efficient power generation technology with near zero emission of sulfides, nitrogen oxides, dust and other pollutants. With an emission level comparable to that of natural gas combined cycle plants, it is expected that IGCC technology has great prospect of success. The Capital Increase enables the Company to expand its power development business from the new energy approach, to take a leading position in the coal gasification power generation industry through introduction of engineering design, construction and operation technologies for large-scale coal gasification power plants and to enhance its competitiveness and sustainability. It also helps to improve the layout of energy projects in the Tianjian Binhai New District, which is beneficial to both social and economic development of this region.

Currently, IGCC Project is still under construction and has not been put into operation yet. The Capital Increase will have no material effect on the Company’s assets, liabilities or net profits of this year. Since IGCC Project is the first coal gasification power generation project in the PRC which is very likely to obtain preferential treatment, it is reasonable for the Company to expect high on-grid tariff which will surely enhance the profitability of Coal Gasification Co.

The Transaction does not involve any change in the shareholding structure or corporate structure of the Company. Following the completion of the Capital Increase, the non-current assets of the Company will be increased and the current assets of the Company will be decreased due to payment of capital contribution in cash. The net assets of the Company will not be affected.
