LETTER FROM THE BOARD

REFRESHMENT OF GENERAL MANDATE

Background of the refreshment of General Mandate

At the annual general meeting of the Company held on 27 September 2010 (“Last AGM”), the Shareholders passed ordinary resolutions in approving, among others, the general mandate, pursuant to which the Directors were authorised to issue, allot and otherwise deal with a maximum of 363,742,756 Shares, representing 20% of the total nominal amount of the share capital of the Company in issue on the date of passing such resolutions.

At the extraordinary general meeting of the Company held on 25 November 2010, the Shareholders passed ordinary resolutions in approving, among others, the General Mandate, pursuant to which the Directors were authorised to issue, allot and otherwise deal with a maximum of 441,871,839 Shares, representing 20% of the total nominal amount of the share capital of the Company in issue on the date of the said extraordinary general meeting.

Since the granting of the General Mandate to the Latest Practicable Date, the General Mandate has been utilised as to 436,488,000 Shares, representing approximately 98.78% of the aggregate number of Shares which may be allotted and issued under the General Mandate, as a result of the Placing of 436,488,000 warrants pursuant to the Placing Agreement dated 26 May 2011 to independent placees as completed on 10 June 2011. As disclosed in the announcement of the Company dated 26 May 2011 (“Placing Warrants Announcement”), the maximum proceeds from the placing of the Warrants (as defined in the Placing Warrants Announcement) is approximately HK$6,547,000 and the maximum proceeds from the exercise of the subscription rights attaching to the Warrants will be approximately HK$392,839,000. Since the placing of the Warrants only completed on 10 June 2011, the Company will use such proceeds and any amount not yet utilised as general working capital. Save as the aforesaid utilisation of the General Mandate, the Company has not utilised the General Mandate and has not sought any refreshment of the General Mandate since the Last AGM (except for the said extraordinary general meeting).

There has been no refreshment of the General Mandate since the said extraordinary general meeting. Therefore, after the Placing, only a total of 5,383,839 new Shares might be further issued and allotted under the General Mandate.

Reasons for refreshment of General Mandate

In order to provide flexibility to raise funds for its future business development and/or any potential investment opportunities to be identified by the Company, the Board proposes to refresh the General Mandate for the Directors to allot, issue and deal with new Shares with an aggregate nominal amount of not exceeding 20% of the aggregate nominal amount of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date of the EGM (assuming no Shares will be issued or repurchased by the Company between the Latest Practicable Date and the date of the EGM). As the refreshment of the General Mandate is proposed to the Shareholders prior to the Company’s next annual general meeting, and therefore, under Rule 13.36(4) of the Listing Rules, the refreshment of General Mandate will be subject to Independent Shareholders’ approval at the EGM.

– 6 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

As at the Latest Practicable Date, a total of 2,511,463,553 Shares were in issue. Subject to the passing of the proposed resolution for the refreshment of General Mandate and on the basis that no Share will be issued or repurchased by the Company prior to the EGM, the Company will be allowed under the refreshed General Mandate to issue a maximum of 502,292,710 new Shares.

The Independent Board Committee, comprising Dr. Tam Hok Lam, Tommy, J.P., Mr. Zhu Yongguang, Mr. Chan William, all being the independent non-executive Directors, has been formed to consider the refreshment of General Mandate. AIM has been appointed as the Independent Financial Adviser to advise the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders in this regard.

Pursuant to Rule 13.36(4) of the Listing Rules, any controlling shareholders and their respective associates, or where there is no controlling shareholder, the Directors (excluding independent non-executive Directors) and the chief executive of the Company and their respective associates shall abstain from voting in favour of the resolution to approve the refreshment of General Mandate to be proposed at the EGM. Given that the Company had no controlling shareholder as at the Latest Practicable Date, all the Directors (excluding the independent nonexecutive Directors) together with its associates as set out in the following table are required to abstain from voting in favour of the resolution in respect of refreshment of General Mandate.

The Company will use any proceeds raised from the utilisation of the refreshed General Mandate for general working capital or for future investment if the Company will identify any potential investment opportunities.

INCREASE IN AUTHORISED SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the authorised share capital of the Company is HK$250,000,000 divided into 5,000,000,000 Shares of HK$0.05 each, of which 2,511,463,553 Shares have been allotted, issued and fully paid.

In order to provide the Company with greater flexibility to allot and issue Shares in the future as and when necessary, the Board proposes to increase the authorised share capital of the Company to HK$500,000,000 divided into 10,000,000,000 Shares of HK$0.05 each. The proposed increase in the authorised share capital of the Company is subject to and conditional upon the passing of an ordinary resolution by the Shareholders at the EGM.

The EGM will be convened for the purpose of considering and, if thought fit, passing the resolutions to approve the refreshment of the General Mandate and the increase in authorised share capital.

LETTER FROM ASIA INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT LIMITED

PRINCIPAL FACTORS CONSIDERED

In arriving at our opinion in respect of the proposed granting of the Issue Mandate, we have considered the following principal factors and reasons:

Background of and reasons for the granting of the Issue Mandate

The Group has been engaged in the design, manufacturing and sales of packaging products. On 7 September 2009, the Company (formerly known as Winbox International (Holdings) Limited) announced details of its proposed acquisition of various interests in coal mines situated in Wuhai City, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region of the PRC. Such acquisitions were completed on 25 January 2010. Since then, the Group has been principally engaged in the mining, washing and marketing of coking coal in the PRC.

At the extraordinary general meeting of the Company held on 25 November 2010 (the “Last EGM”), the Shareholders approved, among other things, to grant to the Directors the Existing General Mandate under which the Directors are utilized to allot, issue and deal with up to 441,871,839 Shares, which is equivalent to 20% of the then aggregate nominal amount of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date of the Last EGM.

On 30 January 2011, the Company announced that the Company, Champ Universe Limited (as the purchaser) and Tai Rong Xin Ye International Power Generation Inc. (“Tai Rong”) (as the vendor) entered into a sale and purchase agreement dated 28 January 2011 pursuant to which Champ Universe Limited conditionally agreed to acquire from Tai Rong Xin Ye International Power Generation Inc., and Tai Rong Xin Ye International Power Generation Inc. conditionally agreed to sell, the entire issued share capital of Venture Path Limited for the consideration of HK$1,550 million comprising of (i) the HK$250,000,000 cash consideration; (ii) HK$725,000,000 by issue of the Convertible Shares (as defined in the announcement of the Company dated 30 January 2011 (“January 2011 Announcement”)) by the Company to Tai Rong at the Issue Price (as defined in the January 2011 Announcement); and (iii) HK$575,000,000 by the issue of the Convertible Bond (as defined in the January 2011 Announcement) from the Company to Tai Rong. Venture Path Limited is indirectly interested in the entire registered capital of Baicheng Wenzhou Mining Development Co., Ltd. which owns and operates the Xinjiang Baicheng County Kueraken Mine Field No. 3 Pit of No. 1 Mine located at Baicheng County, Aksu Prefecture, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, the PRC.

LETTER FROM ASIA INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT LIMITED

As announced by the Company on 26 May 2011, the Company and the Placing Agent entered into the Placing Agreement whereby the Company has conditionally agreed to place, through the Placing Agent on a best effort basis, 436,488,000 warrants to independent placees at an issue price of HK$0.015 per warrant. The said placing of warrants was completed on 10 June 2011. As such, the Existing General Mandate was almost fully utilized (representing approximately 98.78% of the aggregate number of Shares which were allotted and issued under the Existing General Mandate).

If the Existing General Mandate is not to be refreshed, only 5,383,839 new Shares may be further issued under the Existing General Mandate. In addition, we were advised by the Directors that the next annual general meeting will not be held until around September 2011, which is about 3 months away from the Latest Practicable Date. If the Existing General Mandate (which has been almost fully utilized) is not to be refreshed at the EGM, the Company will not have flexible fund raising availability, if so required, until a new general mandate is approved in the next annual general meeting.

The Company has been on the lookout for good investment opportunity to generate greater return for Shareholders. With a view to maintaining the financial flexibility for the Group to manage its businesses and to raise additional equity capital for any future investment opportunities, the Directors therefore propose to seek the Independent Shareholders’ approval at the EGM for the grant of the Issue Mandate so that the Directors will be granted the authority to issue, allot and deal with new Shares not exceeding 20% of the total issued share capital of the Company as at the date of passing of the relevant resolution approving the Issue Mandate (assuming no Shares will be issued or repurchased by the Company between the Latest Practicable Date and the date of the EGM). On the basis of a total of 2,511,463,553 Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date and assuming that no other Shares will be issued or repurchased whatsoever between the Latest Practicable Date and the date of the EGM, the Issue Mandate, if granted, will empower the Directors to allot, issue and deal with up to a maximum of 502,292,710 Shares, representing 20% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date of EGM.

As advised by the management of the Company, the Board believes that the granting of the Issue Mandate is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole by maintaining the financial flexibility necessary for the Group’s future business development and expansion. Given the business nature of the Company, it is important for the Group to keep flexible fund raising availability so as to make prompt decisions and to solicit funding in a relatively short period of time when investment opportunities arise. It is considered that equity financing to be an important avenue of financial resources to the Group since it does not create any interest paying obligations on the Group. As such, we are of the opinion that the granting of the Issue Mandate would provide the Company with the necessary flexibility essential for fulfilling any possible funding needs for future business development and/or investment decision and that the granting of the Issue mandate will be in the interests of the Company and the Independent Shareholders as a whole.

LETTER FROM ASIA INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT LIMITED

The bank balances and cash of the Group was approximately HK$48.68 million as at 31 March 2011 according to the latest published annual results of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2011. Having considered the proceeds raised from the aforementioned fund raising exercises, the Directors are of the view that the existing cash and credit resources of the Group are sufficient for the Group to conduct its daily operations and the Group has sufficient working capital to meet its present requirements. However, there is no certainty that such cash and credit resources will be adequate for business development and acquisition of appropriate investments that may be identified by the Company in the future. In the event that the Group identifies suitable business or investment opportunities and does not have sufficient cash and credit resources on hand, and it fails to obtain loans on terms which the Directors consider acceptable to the Group or raise funds from the equity market, or it cannot find other alternatives to finance the business development or acquisition of such investment opportunities in a timely manner, the Group may lose its opportunity in an otherwise favourable development/investment.

Other financing alternatives

As debt financing may incur interest burden to the Group, equity financing such as issuance of new Shares for cash or equity swaps may be an appropriate means to fund such investments and/or acquisition and provide additional working capital for the future development and expansion of the Group, given the Group’s financial position, capital structure, cost of funding and the then financial market condition, especially under the situations that the global financial market has remained uncertain and volatile and credit available in the current debt financing market may still be tight. Other financing methods such as debt financing and internal cash resources to fund future business development of the Company shall be taken into consideration in appropriate circumstances.

We consider that the granting of the Issue Mandate will provide the Company with an additional alternative given the current uncertain debt financing market. It is reasonable for the Company to have the flexibility in deciding the financing methods for its future development, including equity issuance. As such, we are of the view that the granting of the Issue Mandate will be in the interests of the Company and the Independent Shareholders as a whole.

Note: Real Power Holdings Limited is a company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands which holds 457,600,561 Shares. TRXY Development (HK) Ltd. is a company incorporated in Hong Kong with limited liability which holds directly and through its controlling interest in Real Power Holdings Limited, 172,159,435 Shares.

As illustrated in the table above, assuming no Share will be issued or repurchased by the Company from the Latest Practicable Date up to the date of the EGM, 502,292,710 new Shares can be issued upon full utilisation of the Issue Mandate, representing 20% the issued share capital as at the date of EGM, and the aggregate shareholding of the existing public Shareholders will decrease from approximately 70.95% as at the Latest Practicable Date to approximately 59.12% upon full utilisation of the Issue Mandate. Assuming that none of the new Shares to be issued under the Issue Mandate will be issued to any of the existing Shareholders, the potential dilution to the shareholding of the existing public Shareholders represents a dilution of approximately 16.67%.

LETTER FROM ASIA INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT LIMITED

Taking into account that (i) the Issue Mandate will provide an alternative to increase the amount of capital which may be raised under the Issue Mandate; (ii) the Issue Mandate provides more flexibility and options of financing to the Group for further business development as well as for other potential future investments as and when such opportunities arise, especially during the current uncertain debt financing market; and (iii) the fact that the shareholding interests of all the Shareholders will be decreased in proportion to their respective shareholdings upon any utilisation of the Issue Mandate assuming that none of the new Shares to be issued under the Issue Mandate will be issued to any of the existing Shareholders, we consider that such potential dilution to shareholdings of the public Shareholders to be justifiable.

RECOMMENDATION

Having taken into account the principal factors and reasons referred to the above, we are of the opinion that the proposed granting of the Issue Mandate is fair and reasonable so far as the Company and the Independent Shareholders are concerned and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. We therefore advise the Independent Shareholders and recommend the Independent Board Committee to advise the Independent Shareholders to vote in favour of the ordinary resolution(s) approving the Issue Mandate at the Special General Meeting. Independent Shareholders are however advised to take note of the possible dilution effect on their shareholding interests in the Company when and if the Issue Mandate is utilised.

Yours faithfully,

For and on behalf of

Asia Investment Management Limited
