— 8 —

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Guazhou Company out of the maximum loan amount under the IFC Loan Agreement of US$140 million (equivalent to approximately HK$1,092 million). Pursuant to a deed of guarantee entered into between the Company and IFC on 2 July 2010, the Company has provided the guarantee in favour of IFC in respect of the loan above. Despite changes in the ownership in Guazhou Company as a result of the Disposal, the Guarantee continues in accordance with the terms of the relevant deed.

The Group has, as at the Latest Practicable Date, pledged and will continue to pledge after the Disposal its 49% equity interest in Guazhou Company in favour of IFC. Under the Disposal Agreement, each of the Purchasers has agreed to pledge their respective equity interest in Guazhou Company in favour of IFC in respect of the obligations of Guazhou Company under the IFC Loan Agreement.

REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE DISPOSAL

The Group is principally engaged in the wind power sector, investing in various wind farm projects and providing wind power engineering and construction services in the PRC.

Guazhou Company is principally engaged in the investment and development of wind farm projects in Guazhou, Jiuquan, Gansu province of the PRC, including the Guazhou Wind Farm Project and the Transformer Station. It is a business strategy of the Group to jointly cooperate with partners in the PRC in respect of its wind farm investments. Jilin Power is a power company and the shares of which are listed on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange. The Directors (including the non-executive Directors) consider that the Disposal represents a good opportunity for the Group to realise part of its investment in the Guazhou Wind Farm Project and the Transformer Station at a reasonable price whilst the Group will continue to enjoy the development of these projects as a significant shareholder leveraging on the experience, expertise and resources of the Purchasers. The Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) consider that the terms of the Disposal are fair and reasonable and the Disposal is in the interests of the Company and its shareholders as a whole.

FINANCIAL EFFECT OF THE TRANSACTIONS ON THE GROUP

Since Completion, the Group through its wholly-owned subsidiary of CWP Holdings Limited holds 49% of the issued capital of Guazhou Company and Jilin Xiehe (a jointly controlled entity of the Company which is held as to 49% by the Group) holds a 5% equity interest in Guazhou Company. Guazhou Company has ceased to be a subsidiary of the Company and is accounted for as a jointly controlled entity of the Company after the Disposal. The Company does not at present intend to dispose of its 49% equity interest in Guazhou Company held by its wholly-owned subsidiary CWP Holdings Limited.

— 9 —

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Based on the audited financial statements of Guazhou Company (which were prepared in accordance with the Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards), the net asset value of Guazhou Company as at 31 December 2010 was approximately RMB668.6 million (equivalent to approximately HK$802.3 million). As at 31 December 2010, the liabilities of Guazhou Company include a loan from IFC with a principal amount of US$99.6 million (equivalent to approximately HK$776.9 million). It reported a loss before and after tax of approximately RMB257,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$308,400) for the year ended 31 December 2010. The wind farm of Guazhou Company is targeted to commence commercial operation in August 2011.

As Guazhou Company has ceased to be a subsidiary of the Company since completion of the Disposal, the financial results of Guazhou Company are no longer consolidated into the financial statements of the Company. The assets and liabilites of Guazhou Company are no longer consolidated on a line-by-line basis into the consolidated balance sheet of the Company. The net assets of Guazhou Company attributable to the Group’s remaining interest in Guazhou Company are recorded in the Group’s consolidated balance sheet as interests in jointly-controlled entities.

The Group estimates an unaudited gain of approximately HK$198,550,000 as a result of the Disposal, being the excess of the consideration for the Disposal over the carrying value of the 48.55% net assets of Guazhou Company attributable to the Group, which is being disposed of, based on the unaudited financial information of Guazhou Company as at 31 March 2011. The actual amount of gain or loss on the Disposal shall be subject to actual financial information of Guazhou Company at the date of Completion. The proceeds from the Disposal will be used as general working capital of the Group.

GENERAL

As one of the applicable percentage ratios in respect of the Disposal calculated under chapter 14 of the Listing Rules exceeds 25% and all of the other applicable percentage ratios are below 75%, the Disposal constitutes a major transaction for the Company under the Listing Rules. The Disposal Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder are subject to the reporting, announcement and shareholders’ approval requirements under the Listing Rules.

Dear Sirs/Madams,

BUSINESS VALUATION OF GANSU GUAzHOU CENTURY CONCORD WIND POWER COMPANY LIMITED

In accordance with the instruction from China WindPower Group Limited (the “Group”), we have carried out business valuation of Gansu Guazhou Century Concord Wind Power Company Limited (the “Company”) as at 30 June 2011 (the “Valuation Date”). The purpose of this report is to provide an independent opinion on the market value of the Company as of the Valuation Date. We understand this valuation is required for possible transfer.

SCOPE OF VALUATION

Gansu Guazhou Century Concord Wind Power Company Limited

This appraisal is to provide an independent opinion of value on 100% equity interest of Gansu Guazhou Century Concord Wind Power Company Limited.

VALUATION REPORT BY VIGERS

APPENDIX II

BACKGROUND OF THE COMPANY

Gansu Guazhou Century Concord Wind Power Company Limited (the “Company”)

Gansu Guazhou Century Concord Wind Power Company Limited was established on 9 April 2009. The Company operates a wind farm at Ganhekou, which is located at about 280 km northwest from Jiuquan City, Gansu Province of the People’s Republic of China. Designed production capacity of the wind farm is 201 MW.

Wind power business in China

China’s economy has been growing fast in recent years. During the 11th Five-year Plan, GDP of China has grown at an average of about 11% per year. The government also planned and expected to maintain an average annual GDP growth of about 8% during the 12th Five-year Plan. The high growth generates huge demand for energy. While fossil fuels form a major part of the energy source, the Chinese government has greatly supported the development of clean and renewable energy, aiming to reduce greenhouse emission, to lower pollution and to reduce its reliance on fossil fuels. Among which wind power has a significant contribution in renewable energy, which represented about 3% of the total power generation capacity in 2010, according to the statistics from National Energy Administration. It is planned and expected that non-fossil fuel energy production will contribute to over 15% of total energy production by the end of the 12th Five-year Plan, which shows a large room for the development of renewable energy, including wind power. The Chinese government has introduced several measures, for example, tax benefits, higher tariff rates, etc., to the companies engaging in production and development of clean and renewable energy. With support from the government and higher demand for renewable energy, wind power industry is expected to be developed in the future.

In forming our view on the prospect of the wind power business in China, we have taken into account of the future development of wind power industry, general economic outlook, as well as government policy.

BASIS AND METHODOLOGY OF VALUATION

We have made reference to the international valuation standards. Our appraisal has been carried out on a market value basis. Market Value is defined as the estimated amount for which an asset should be exchanged on the date of valuation between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm’s-length transaction after proper marketing wherein the parties have each acted knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion.

— 19 —

VALUATION REPORT BY VIGERS

APPENDIX II

In arriving at our opinion of value, we make reference to three generally accepted approaches to value, namely: the Market Approach , the Cost Approach and the Income Approach .

Market Approach considers prices recently paid for similar assets, with adjustments made to indicate market prices to reflect condition and utility of the appraised assets relative to the comparable market transactions.

Cost Approach considers the cost to reproduce or replace in new condition the assets appraised in accordance with current market prices for similar assets, with allowance for accrued depreciation as condition or obsolescence present, whether arising from physical, functional or economic causes.

Income Approach is the conversion of expected periodic benefits of ownership into an indication of value. It is based on the principle that an informed buyer would pay no more for asset than an amount equal to the present worth of anticipated future benefits (income) from the same or equivalent asset with similar risk.

Determination of the Valuation Approach

Income approach is considered in this valuation. Market approach may be difficult to apply since companies in similar business may not be directly comparable in terms of the uniqueness on locations, forms of operation, financial structure, and the nature that the Company runs only one project with definite operating life while the comparable companies usually operate a number of projects and are viewed with indefinite operating life, but this approach can still serve as a reconciliation to the valuation with some adjustments. Income approach generally provides better analysis on the value but is subject to estimation risk. The estimation risk in this valuation is, however, relatively low since: (i) the production capacity of the wind farm is based on feasibility study report prepared by Sgurr Energy; (ii) major part of the production costs and operation costs of the wind farm is from the maintenance costs, which can be reasonably estimated from the signed maintenance contract; (iii) no material change in operation is expected in future. Therefore it is considered that the financial projection of the wind farm can be reasonably made and forms the basis of valuation. Cost approach assesses the value of assets in cost basis and will not be considered in this valuation, since the Company is having on-going operation for a long period of time. Therefore Income Approach is adopted in the valuation.

  • With reference to the business license of the Company and after discussion with the management, it is assumed that the operation period of the wind farm is from 1 July 2011 to 8 April 2039;

  • Revenues of the Company have taken into account the regular income from the sales of wind power and CERs (Certified Emission Reduction) only. We have not made any estimates on imponderables;

  • We have been given by the Group the forecast on the amount of sales and direct costs, and related expenses such as direct costs, management costs, capital spending, etc. Our valuation is based on such information and we observe no reason to be doubtful on the reasonableness of the assumption;

  • We have only considered a collection of operating incomes and related expenses such as direct costs, management costs, taxes, capital spending, etc. We have not made provision for non-operating cash flow items such as exchange rate gain/loss, compensations on accidents, etc. in the valuation model;

  • Electricity tariff: With reference to the Document A and advised by the management, the electricity tariff is at RMB 0.5206 per KWh (including VAT). After discussion with the management and with reference to government policy, it is further assumed that the electricity tariff will maintain at this rate throughout the projection period. And according to the feasibility study report prepared by Sgurr Energy and advised by the management, it is estimated that the effective operating capacity of the wind farm is about 2,273 hours per year.

  • Income from sales of CERs: According to the CDM Emission Reductions Purchase Agreement, the revenue from each unit of CER is EURO 11, and advised by the management the revenue is subject to CDM income withholding tax of 4%. Further advised by the management and based on their experience in similar project, it is assumed that 1 unit of CER can be produced from 1 MWh of electricity being generated. The valuation is based on management experience on the above said conversion rate of CER. As advised by the management, as there is uncertainty in the current mechanism on CER under the Kyoto Protocol, which will expire on 31 December 2012, it is further assumed that no income will be generated from the sales of CERs from 2013 onwards;

• VAT: Advised by the management and with reference to the Document D, the revenue of the Company from electricity tariff is subject to preferential treatment of 50% reduction in the VAT rate. The applicable VAT rate is assumed to be at 8.5%.

And advised by the management, according to the current government policy, the VAT payable is allowed to be offset by the VAT rebate generated from the purchases of some fixed assets. Our valuation is based on such information and we observe no reason to be doubtful on the reasonableness of the assumption;

  • Maintenance expenses: According to the Maintenance service contract signed between the Company and 北京世紀聚合風電技術有限公司 (Beijing Shijijuhe Wind Power Technology Co., Ltd.) dated 20 July 2010, the maintenance cost of the wind farm is assumed to be RMB0.045 per KWh in 2011, RMB0.055 per KWh in the period from 2012 to 2015, and RMB0.063 per KWh from 2016 to 2019.

The accounts payable turnover days is assumed to be 90 days.

  • Capital expenditure: Advised by the management, it is assumed that maintenance CAPEX of about RMB746 million is required in 2029.

We have assumed the reasonableness of information provided and relied to a considerable extent on such information in arriving at our opinion of value.

Valuation Method

In this appraisal, the market value of the equity interest of the Company was determined by the Income Approach with the use of the Free Cash Flows to Firm (FCFF) in Discounted Cash Flow Method (DCF).

— 24 —

VALUATION REPORT BY VIGERS

APPENDIX II

We consider that the use of the Free Cash Flow to Firm (FCFF) in Discounted Cash Flow Method is an appropriate measure because of the following considerations:

  • The Company, of which the interest to be considered, has going-concerns;

  • The Free Cash Flow to Firm (FCFF) is a measure of operating cash flow after the deduction of operating expenses, possible capital expenditure and working capital needs. Thus the FCFF fully reflect the cash flow being received by the Company in future;

  • The value of the interest being considered is determined by the future benefit attributed to the Company and less the outstanding loan as of the valuation date, that is, the net present value of the FCFF.

The Free Cash Flow to Firm (FCFF) is giving by:

Free cash flow to firm = Earnings before interest and tax x (1 – tax rate) + depreciation – capital spending – working capital needs.

The valuation is derived from applying appropriate discount rate on the FCFF. The discount rate being applied in the DCF, also known as the required rate of Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) is given by:

Equity/(Equity+Debt) x Cost of Equity + Debt/(Equity+Debt) x After Tax Cost of Debt

and the cost of equity is derived by the Capital Asset Pricing Model (“CAPM”):

Required rate of return on equity = Risk Free Rate + Estimated Beta x Market Risk Premium

In applying the CAPM to estimate the discount rate, we have made reference, but not limited to, the followings in our estimation:

  • i. The yield of the China Government Bond;

  • ii. The market return in the stock market and the return on equity of listed companies which engaged in wind power generation or similar line of business;

  • iii. The firm specific risk of the Company.

Since the required rate of return on equity estimated by CAPM explains a portion of the total risk, the systematic risk, of an equity investment. We have considered appropriate adjustments to be made on the unsystematic risk, that is, the firm specific risk, which might affect the value of the assets being evaluated.

OPINION OF VALUE

Based on the aforesaid investigation, analysis and appraisal method employed, it is our opinion that, as of 30 June 2011, the market value of the equity interest of the Company can be reasonably and approximately stated as Renminbi Six Hundred Eighty Five Million (RMB685,000,000).

The opinion of value was based on generally accepted appraisal procedures and practices that rely extensively on the use of numerous assumptions and the consideration of many uncertainties, not all of which can be easily quantified or ascertained. Although it is reasonable for the assumptions and the consideration of the uncertainties, the opinion of value may be affected by any major uncertainties on business or operation, economy, competition, and contingencies which are outside control of the Company.

We understand that Vigers has prepared its Valuation on the basis of the financial projection for the period up to March 2039 (the “Financial Projection”) prepared by the management of the Company.

We have discussed with the management of the Company and Vigers regarding the bases and assumptions upon which the Financial Projection underlying the Valuation has been made. We understand that the Financial Projection is based on a number of bases and assumptions including a feasibility study conducted in connection with the wind farm project of Guazhou Company and the applicable PRC government policy, rules and regulation. We understand that as such bases and assumptions in relation to the environment under which the wind farm of Guazhou Company operates such as wind speed and the applicable government policy, rules and regulation are subject to change, there is no guarantee that Guazhou Company may perform as forecast in the Financial Projection.
