To the Shareholders

Dear Sir/Madam,

CONTINUING CONNECTED TRANSACTIONS, REVISION OF ANNUAL CAPS AND RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTOR

INTRODUCTION

On 20 October 2008, the Board announced that Suzhou Fuel Company, an indirect whollyowned subsidiary of the Company, on the same date entered into the Nanjing Supplemental Coal Sale Agreement with Nanjing Cogeneration Plant, the Lanxi Coal Sale Agreement with Lanxi

– 5 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Cogeneration Plant and the Dongwu Coal Sale Agreement with Dongwu Cogeneration Plant respectively. The Nanjing Supplemental Coal Sale Agreement, the Lanxi Coal Sale Agreement and the Dongwu Coal Sale Agreement are collectively known as the “Coal Sale Agreements”.

It has come to the attention of the Company that the sale volume of the blended coal has been greater than expected, and the price of coal is expected to increase at a rate higher than that originally anticipated when the previous caps were set in 2007. For these reasons, the Company considers that the original annual caps in relation to the Original Nanjing Coal Sale Agreement are no longer sufficient and will need to be increased for the years ending 31 December 2008 and 2009 to accommodate the increasing sale that the Company expects to achieve.

Mr. Zhu Gong Shan, a Director and Controlling Shareholder, is a controlling shareholder of Nanjing Cogeneration Plant and Lanxi Cogeneration Plant. Thus, Nanjing Cogeneration Plant and Lanxi Cogeneration Plant have each become an associate of Mr. Zhu Gong Shan and connected person to the Company pursuant to Rule 14A.11 of the Listing Rules. As such, any transactions between the Group and Nanjing Cogeneration Plant and Lanxi Cogeneration Plant will therefore constitute connected transactions for the Company.

蘇州蘇鑫資產投資有限公司 (Suzhou Suxin Asset Investments Co., Ltd. ), the controlling shareholder of Dongwu Cogeneration Plant, is also a substantial shareholder of a subsidiary of the Company. Thus Dongwu Cogeneration Plant becomes an associate of 蘇州蘇鑫資產投資有限公 司 (Suzhou Suxin Asset Investments Co., Ltd.) and a connected person to the Company pursuant to Rule 14A.11 of the Listing Rules. As such, any transactions between the Group and Dongwu Cogeneration Plant will therefore constitute connected transactions for the Company.

Based on the foregoing, the transactions contemplated under the Coal Sale Agreements are subject to the requirements pursuant to Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules and are also subject to Independent Shareholders’ approval.

The purpose of this circular is to provide you with (i) further information in respect of the Coal Sale Agreements; (ii) information regarding the re-election of Mr. Tam Chor Kiu as a nonexecutive Director; (iii) the letter from ICBC International containing its advice to the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders; (iv) the recommendation of the Independent Board Committee to the Independent Shareholders in relation to the Coal Sale Agreements and the Annual Caps; and (v) a notice convening the EGM at which ordinary resolutions will be proposed to seek your approval for the Coal Sale Agreements including the Annual Caps and the re-election of Director.

On 31 January 2007, Suzhou Fuel Company entered into a coal sale agreement with Nanjing Cogeneration Plant to supply blended coal of net calorific as received basis value of Qnet, ar = 5000-5500 kcal/kg at a unit price range from RMB433 to RMB497 per tonne (inclusive of tax and subject to adjustment) to Nanjing Cogeneration Plant with effect from 1 February 2007 to 31 December 2007, which was amended by a supplemental agreement dated 15 August 2007 entered into by the same parties to extend the effective date to 31 December 2009 (collectively the “Original Nanjing Coal Sale Agreement”). Under the Original Nanjing Coal Sale Agreement, the annual caps for the years ending 31 December 2008 and 2009 are RMB136,500,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$155,610,000) respectively. Details of the Original Nanjing Coal Sale Agreement are set out in the Prospectus under the section headed “Connected Transactions”.

It has come to the attention of the Company that the sale volume of the blended coal has been greater than expected, and the price of coal is expected to increase at a rate higher than that originally anticipated when the previous caps were set in 2007. For these reasons, the Company considers that the original annual caps in relation to the Original Nanjing Coal Sale Agreement are no longer sufficient and will need to be increased for the years ending 31 December 2008 and 2009 to accommodate the increasing sale that the Company expects to achieve. The Company entered into the Nanjing Supplemental Coal Sale Agreement to extend the effective period from 31 December 2009 to 30 June 2011, increase the variety of net calorific value of the coal supply from 5000-5500kcal/kg to 3000-5500kcal/kg and increase the annual caps for the years ending for 2008 and 2009.

10 November 2008

To the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders of the Company

Dear Sirs,

CONTINUING CONNECTED TRANSACTIONS AND REVISION OF ANNUAL CAPS

We refer to our engagement as the independent financial adviser to advise the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders of the Company in relation to (i) the coal sale transactions contemplated under the Coal Sale Agreements (the “Coal Sale Transactions”); (ii) the revised Annual Caps stipulated under the Nanjing Supplemental Coal Sale Agreement in extending the effective period of the Original Nanjing Coal Sale Agreement; and (iii) the relevant proposed Annual Caps stipulated under the Coal Sale Agreements. Details of the Coal Sale Agreements are summarized in the Company’s circular to its Shareholders dated 10 November 2008 (the “Circular”). This letter has been prepared for inclusion in the Circular and capitalised terms used in this letter shall have the same meaning as defined in the Circular unless the context otherwise requires.

As set out in the letter from the Board contained in the Circular, Mr. Zhu Gong Shan, the Director and Controlling Shareholder, is a controlling shareholder of Nanjing Cogeneration Plant and Lanxi Cogeneration Plant. Thus, each of Nanjing Cogeneration Plant and Lanxi Cogeneration Plant becomes connected person to the Company pursuant to Rule 14A.11 of the Listing Rules. Suzhou Suxin Asset Investments Co., Ltd., the controlling shareholder of Dongwu Cogeneration Plant, is also a substantial shareholder of a subsidiary of the Company. Thus, Dongwu Cogeneration Plant becomes an associate of Suzhou Suxin Asset Investments Co., Ltd. and a connected person to the Company pursuant to Rule 14A.11 of the Listing Rules.

LETTER FROM ICBC INTERNATIONAL

As the highest applicable percentage ratio, pursuant to Rule 14.07 of the Listing Rules, for the Annual Caps in respect of the Coal Sale Agreements for the two months ending 31 December 2008, the two years ending 31 December 2010 and the six months ending 30 June 2011 (the “Corresponding Period”) has exceeded 2.5%, each of the Coal Sale Transactions constitutes a non-exempt continuing connected transaction, which is subject to, among other things, the approval of the Independent Shareholders at the EGM of the Company pursuant to Rule 14A.35 of the Listing Rules.

The Company will convene the EGM on 26 November 2008 to seek approval from the Independent Shareholders for the Coal Sale Transactions and the revision of Annual Caps and the proposed Annual Caps in respect of the Coal Sale Transactions. As Mr Zhu Gong Shan, the Director and Controlling Shareholder, is a controlling shareholder of Nanjing Cogeneration Plant and Lanxi Cogeneration Plant, therefore Mr Zhu Gong Shan and his associates are required to abstain from voting at the EGM on the resolution approving the Nanjing Supplemental Coal Sale Agreement, the Lanxi Coal Sale Agreement, the revision of Annual Caps and the proposed Annual Caps thereof at the EGM. To the best knowledge of the Directors, Suzhou Suxin Asset Investments Co., Ltd. and its associates do not hold any Shares as at the Latest Practicable Date.

Our opinion only applies to (i) the Coal Sale Transactions; (ii) the revision of Annual Caps; and (iii) the proposed Annual Caps in respect of the Coal Sale Agreements. Other continuing connected transactions which are not subject to approval by the Independent Shareholders are not within the scope of our work.

In this connection, the Circular containing, among other matters, the information relating to the terms of the Coal Sale Agreements including the revision of the Annual Caps and the proposed Annual Caps, the letter from the Independent Board Committee to the Independent Shareholders, this letter, together with the notice of the EGM is despatched to the Shareholders. In particular, this letter will set out our recommendations to the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders as to whether the Coal Sale Transactions are on normal commercial terms and in the ordinary and usual course of business, the terms of the Coal Sale Agreements, the revision of Annual Caps and the proposed Annual Caps thereof are fair and reasonable so far as the Company and the Independent Shareholders are concerned and are in the interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.

LETTER FROM ICBC INTERNATIONAL

PRINCIPAL FACTORS CONSIDERED

In arriving at our opinion, we have taken into consideration the principal factors and reasons set out below. In reaching our conclusion, we have considered the results of the analysis in light of each other and ultimately reached our opinion based on the results of all analysis taken as a whole.

BACKGROUND OF THE COAL SALE TRANSACTIONS

Suzhou Fuel Company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and is principally engaged in the coal trading. On 31 January 2007, Suzhou Fuel Company entered into a coal sale agreement with Nanjing Cogeneration Plant to supply blended coal of net calorific as received basis value of Qnet, ar = 5,000-5,500 kcal/kg at a unit price range from RMB433 to RMB497 per tonne (inclusive of tax and subject to adjustment) to Nanjing Cogeneration Plant with effect from 1 February 2007 to 31 December 2007. The agreement was amended by a supplemental agreement dated 15 August 2007, which was entered into by the same parties to extend the effective date from 31 December 2007 to 31 December 2009. For further details, please refer to the Prospectus under the section headed “Connected Transactions”.

The actual amount of blended coal sales for the nine months ended 30 September 2008 was RMB112,445,000, which represented a utilization rate of approximately 82% of the original annual cap of 2008. Therefore, the Company considers that the original Annual Caps in relation to the Original Nanjing Coal Sale Agreement are no longer sufficient to accommodate the increasing sales that the Company expects to achieve and will need to revise the original Annual Caps for the years ending 31 December 2008 and 2009.

On 20 October 2008, Suzhou Fuel Company entered into the Nanjing Supplemental Coal Sale Agreement to extend the effective period of the Original Nanjing Coal Sale Agreement from 31 December 2009 to 30 June 2011 and to increase the variety of net calorific value of the coal supply from 5,000-5,500kcal/kg to 3,000-5,500kcal/kg.

On the same day, Suzhou Fuel Company also entered into the Lanxi Coal Sale Agreement with Lanxi Cogeneration Plant and the Dongwu Coal Sale Agreement with Dongwu Cogeneration Plant, for supplying blended coal of net calorific as received basis value of Qnet, ar = 3,900-5,500 kcal/kg for the period from 1 November 2008 to 30 June 2011 to Lanxi Cogeneration Plant and Dongwu Cogeneration Plant respectively.

LETTER FROM ICBC INTERNATIONAL

REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE COAL SALE AGREEMENTS

As advised by the Company, the main reason for and the benefit of entering into the Coal Sale Agreements are to increase the recurring income of the Group. The Directors consider that the Coal Sale Agreements are entered into on normal commercial terms, in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Company, fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and Shareholders as a whole.

We note that the Company is principally engaged in the development, management and operation of cogeneration plants in Jiangsu Province and Zhejiang Province of the PRC, while Nanjing Cogeneration Plant, Lanxi Cogeneration Plant and Dongwu Cogeneration Plant (the “Cogeneration Plants”) are principally engaged in the operation of cogeneration power plant and sales of electricity and steam. Under the Coal Sale Agreements, Suzhou Fuel Company, which is principally engaged in coal trading, agrees to procure blended coal for the counterparties between 1 November 2008 and 30 June 2011. We consider that the Coal Sale Transactions are in line with the business of the Group and concur with the Directors’ view that the Coal Sale Transactions are able to generate recurring income to the Group.

PRINCIPAL TERMS AND PRICING BASIS OF THE COAL SALE AGREEMENTS

Set out below is a summary of principal terms and pricing basis of each of the Coal Sale Agreements:

– 21 –

LETTER FROM ICBC INTERNATIONAL

We note that the net calorific as received basis value stipulated under the Nanjing Supplemental Coal Sale Agreement is amended from 5,000-5,500 kcal/kg to 3,000-5,500 kcal/kg. The Directors consider that the increase in variety of blended coal supply is to meet the expected demand of Nanjing Cogeneration Plant for different varieties of blended coal. As such, the Directors consider that Nanjing Cogeneration Plant will increase its blended coal purchase from Suzhou Fuel Company.

According to the payment terms stipulated in the Coal Sale Agreements, each of the Cogeneration Plants are obliged to pay full transaction amount in advance to Suzhou Fuel Company. We consider that full deposit payment terms under the Coal Sale Agreements are beneficial to the Group.

We also note that the pricing basis for each of the Coal Sale Transactions is determined with reference to (i) the Eastern China’s and Tianjin Port’s market prices of domestic blended coals; and (ii) the import price of blended coal from overseas, all of which are determined by the market. The Directors consider that the Coal Sale Agreements are entered into on normal commercial terms and are fair and reasonable. Accordingly, we consider that the market pricing basis for the Coal Sale Transactions is reasonable to the Group.

REASONS FOR THE REVISION OF ORIGINAL ANNUAL CAPS UNDER THE NANJING SUPPLEMENTAL COAL SALE AGREEMENT

The Company advises that the sales volume of the blended coal has been greater than expected, and the price of blended coal is expected to increase at a rate higher than that originally anticipated when the previous Annual Caps were set in 2007. For the year ended 31 December 2007 and the nine months ended 30 September 2008, approximately 276,000 tonnes and 203,100 tonnes of blended coals were sold to Nanjing Cogeneration Plant respectively. If the sales volume of blended coals for the full year of 2008 is projected on a pro-rata basis, such volume will be approximately 270,800 tonnes, which is close to the sales volume of 2007.

Pursuant to the Original Nanjing Coal Sale Agreement, Suzhou Fuel Company agreed to sell blended coals at a tax inclusive unit price ranging from RMB433 to RMB497 per tonne. Depending on the source of origin and type of coal, the Company expects that the tax inclusive price of the blended coals will range from RMB555 to RMB805 per tonne in November 2008.

– 22 –

LETTER FROM ICBC INTERNATIONAL

For these reasons, the Company considers that the original Annual Caps in relation to the Original Nanjing Coal Sale Agreement are no longer sufficient and will need to be increased for each of the two years ending 31 December 2008 and 2009 to accommodate the increasing sales that the Company expects to achieve. The table below illustrates the actual amount of blended coal sales for the period from January to September 2008 and the Annual Cap utilization rate:

For the year ending
31 December
2008 2009
(RMB) (RMB)
Original Annual Caps 136,500,000 136,500,000
Actual amount of blended coal sales from
January to September 2008 112,445,000
Annual Cap utilization rate 82%

The actual amount of blended coal sales for the nine months ended 30 September 2008 was RMB112,445,000, which represented a utilization rate of approximately 82% of the original annual cap of 2008. We note from the Nanjing Supplemental Coal Sale Agreement that Suzhou Fuel Company will expand the variety of net calorific value of the coal supply from 5,000-5,500kcal/kg to 3,000-5,500kcal/kg and the source of the blended coals. The Directors consider that the change in variety of blended coal supply will provide Suzhou Fuel Company with a good business opportunity to take advantage of the surging demand of Nanjing Cogeneration Plant for different types of blended coals in 2009 and years afterwards.

Given that (i) 82% of the original annual cap of 2008 had been utilized; (ii) the change in variety of blended coal supply has provided a good business opportunity to take advantage of the surging demand of Nanjing Cogeneration Plant; and (iii) the price range of blended coal price has shown an increasing trend between the time of Original Nanjing Coal Sale Agreement and November 2008, we concur with the Directors’ view that the original Annual Caps may not be sufficient to accommodate coal sale transactions in the remaining three months of 2008 and the full year of 2009, if the Company intends to continue its coal trading business relationship with Nanjing Cogeneration Plant.

LETTER FROM ICBC INTERNATIONAL

REVISED AND PROPOSED ANNUAL CAPS IN RESPECT OF THE COAL SALE TRANSACTIONS

In assessing the fairness and reasonableness of the Annual Caps in respect of the Coal Sale Transactions, we discussed with the management of the Company in relation to the basis and underlying assumptions used in the determination of the revised Annual Caps and the proposed Annual Caps in respect of the Coal Sale Transactions.

The revised Annual Caps and the proposed Annual Caps were calculated after taking into account of (i) the historical figures of blended coal sales of approximately RMB112,445,000 from Suzhou Fuel Company to Nanjing Cogeneration Plant for the nine months ended 30 September 2008; (ii) the anticipated demand given by the management of Cogeneration Plants for the Corresponding Period; and (iii) the anticipated price movement of coal in the PRC and import coal. The Annual Caps for the Coal Sale Agreements are set out in the following table:

For the year ending 31 December For the year ending 31 December

As discussed with the Company, the basis for anticipating the demand of Cogeneration Plants for blended coals is determined by (i) the monthly supply of blended coal agreed under the Coal Sale Agreements; and (ii) historical demand of cogeneration plants for blended coals.

– 24 –

LETTER FROM ICBC INTERNATIONAL

According to the information provided by the Company, we note that the anticipated growth rate of projected blended coal prices during the Corresponding Period is in line with the historical pricing trend of the blended coal prices. Hence, we concur with the Directors’ view that the anticipation of future blended coal prices during the Corresponding Period is based on (i) the latest transaction prices of different types of blended coal in September 2008; (ii) the increase of the variety of blended coals in terms of quality and source of origin; and (iii) the increasing trend of historical blended coal prices in the PRC.

Taking into account of the above analysis, in particular, the basis for determining (i) the anticipated demand of cogeneration plants for blended coals; and (ii) the anticipated blended coal price movements during the Corresponding Period, we consider that the basis for calculating the revised Annual Caps and proposed Annual Caps in respect of the Coal Sale Transactions are reasonably determined.

RECOMMENDATION

Taking into consideration the above factors, in particular, (i) the background; (ii) the reasons for and the benefits of the Coal Sale Agreements; (iii) the reasons for the revision of original Annual Caps under the Nanjing Supplemental Coal Sale Agreement; (iv) the principal terms and pricing basis of the Coal Sale Agreements; and (v) the revised and proposed Annual Caps in respect of the Coal Sale Transactions, we consider that the Coal Sale Transactions are on normal commercial terms and in the ordinary and usual course of business, the terms of the Coal Sale Agreements and the revision of Annual Caps and the proposed Annual Caps thereof are fair and reasonable so far as the Company and the Independent Shareholders are concerned and are in the interest of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.

Accordingly, we advise the Independent Board Committee to recommend the Independent Shareholders of the Company to vote in favor of ordinary resolutions in the EGM.

Yours faithfully, For and on behalf of ICBC International Capital Limited Steve Wong Executive Director
