  • (iv) Mandra Silicon

(v) Other Shareholders of GCL Solar Purchaser: The Company

Assets acquired under Acquisition Agreement A

The Company has conditionally agreed to purchase Sale Shares A and Vendors A have conditionally agreed to sell Sale Shares A, in respect of which they are the legal and beneficial owners.

Sale Shares A, in respect of which Vendors A will be the legal and beneficial owners immediately before Completion, comprise 100% of the issued share capital of GCL Solar, of which (a) Happy Genius holds 57.56%, (b) Mandra holds 10.62%, (c) Mandra Silicon holds 2.07% and (d) the Other Shareholders of GCL Solar hold 29.75%.

Consideration A

Consideration A is HK$19,912,733,756, which will be satisfied upon Completion A, by way of the allotment and issue of Consideration Shares A to Vendors A at an issue price of HK$2.2 for each Consideration Share A.

Consideration A was determined after arm’s length negotiations amongst the Company and Vendors A after taking into account a number of factors including the business prospects, financial position and performance of the Target Group, the future synergies to be derived by the Group after the successful integration of the Target Group, the reasons and benefits to be derived from the Acquisitions as described below, and also the agreed valuation of the Target Group.

– 12 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The agreed valuation of the Target Group is approximately 10.4 times the audited consolidated net profit of Target Group A (attributable to both equity holders and minority interests of Target Group A) for the year ended 31 December 2008 which was RMB2,232.6 million. This valuation was determined based upon arm’s length negotiations amongst the Company and Vendors A, which took into account recent valuations of listed companies operating in a similar industry.

Consideration Shares A

Consideration Shares A represent approximately 885.05% of the existing issued share capital of the Company and 81.82% of the issued share capital of the Company as enlarged by the allotment and issue of the Consideration Shares. The issue price for Consideration Shares A of HK$2.2 per Consideration Share A represents:

  • a discount of approximately 12.00% to the closing price of HK$2.5 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Last Trading Day;

  • a discount of approximately 1.70% to the average closing price of approximately HK$2.238 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the last five trading days up to and including the Last Trading Day;

  • a premium of approximately 1.15% to the average closing price of approximately HK$2.175 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the last 10 trading days up to and including the Last Trading Day; and

  • a discount of approximately 18.52% to the closing price of HK$2.70 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Latest Practicable Date.

Consideration Shares A, when allotted and issued, shall rank pari passu in all respects with the Shares then in issue including the right to all dividends, distributions and other payments made or to be made, on the record date which falls on or after the date of such allotment and issue.

The Directors (including the Directors who form part of the Independent Board Committee after taking into account the advice of the Independent Financial Adviser) consider that Consideration A is fair and reasonable and Acquisition A is on normal commercial terms and is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

The issue of Consideration Shares A will not result in a change of control of the Company.

An application will be made by the Company to the Listing Committee for the listing of, and permission to deal in, Consideration Shares A.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Assets acquired under Acquisition Agreement B

The Company has conditionally agreed to purchase and Vendor B has conditionally agreed to sell Sale Shares B.

Sale Shares B comprise the entire issued share capital of Greatest Joy, owned as to 100% by Vendor B, upon or prior to Completion B, and the entire issued share capital of Sun Wave, owned as to 100% by Vendor B, upon or prior to Completion B. Currently, 82% of the issued share capital of each of Greatest Joy and Sun Wave is owned by Vendor B and 18% of the issued share capital of each of Greatest Joy and Sun Wave is owned by Mandra Silicon. Mandra Silicon is wholly-owned by Woo Foong Hong Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Moonchu Foundation for Culture & Education Limited (a tax exempt charity established by, but not beneficially owned by, Mr. Zhang Songyi, Ms. Mui Bing How (who is Mr. Zhang Songyi’s wife) and Mr. Chang Tsong Zung (who is Mr. Zhang Songyi’s brother)). It is contemplated that Mandra Silicon will transfer its interest in each of Greatest Joy and Sun Wave to Vendor B upon or prior to Completion B.

Pursuant to Acquisition Agreement B, part of Consideration B (being US$350 million) will be satisfied upon Completion B by the issue of the Secured Notes to Happy Genius. After Completion B, Happy Genius will transfer the Secured Notes received from the Company to the Holders as a partial consideration for a concurrent redemption of the Exchangeable Bonds. Happy Genius has made certain representations and warranties to the Holders relating to the Company and the Company’s business (“Holders Representations and Warranties”) in a trust deed entered into between Happy Genius and DB Trustees (Hong Kong) Limited (in its capacity as both trustee and as security agent) (the “Trust Deed”). The Company has entered into an agreement with Happy Genius pursuant to which in the event that a claim is made by the trustee under the Trust Deed based on a claimed breach of representation or warranty related to the Company, its outstanding securities or its business, the Company makes the Holders Representations and Warranties to Happy Genius at the date of that agreement and as at the date of Completion B.

Consideration B

Consideration B is US$830,615,000 (or the equivalent of approximately HK$6,437,266,250), which will be satisfied upon Completion B: (a) as to US$200 million, by payment in cash (the source of which will be derived from funds made available to the Company from the US$300 million loan facility to be obtained by GCL Solar or its subsidiaries); (b) as to US$350 million, by the issue of the Secured Notes; and (c) as to US$280,615,000, by way of the allotment and issue of Consideration Shares B, at an issue price of HK$2.2 for each Consideration Share B.

Consideration B was determined after arm’s length negotiations between the Company and Vendor B after taking into account a number of factors including the business prospects, financial position and performance of the Target Group, the future synergies to be derived by the Group after the successful integration of the Target Group, the reasons and benefits to be derived from the Acquisitions as described below, and also the agreed valuation of the Target Group.

– 16 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The agreed valuation of the Target Group is approximately 10.4 times the audited consolidated net profit of Target Group A (attributable to both equity holders and minority interests of Target Group A) for the year ended 31 December 2008, which was RMB2,232.6 million. This valuation was determined based upon arm’s length negotiations between the Company and Vendor B.

Consideration Shares B

Consideration Shares B represent approximately 96.66% of the existing issued share capital of the Company and 8.94% of the issued share capital of the Company as enlarged by the allotment and issue of the Consideration Shares. The issue price for Consideration Shares B of HK$2.2 per Consideration Share B represents:

  • a discount of approximately 12.00% to the closing price of HK$2.5 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Last Trading Day;

  • a discount of approximately 1.70% to the average closing price of approximately HK$2.238 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the last five trading days up to and including the Last Trading Day;

  • a premium of approximately 1.15% to the average closing price of approximately HK$2.175 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the last 10 trading days up to and including the Last Trading Day; and

  • a discount of approximately 18.52% to the closing price of HK$2.70 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Latest Practicable Date.

Consideration Shares B, when allotted and issued, shall rank pari passu in all respects with the Shares then in issue including the right to all dividends, distributions and other payments made or to be made, on the record date which falls on or after the date of such allotment and issue.

The Directors (including the Directors who form part of the Independent Board Committee after taking into account the advice of the Independent Financial Adviser) consider that Consideration B is fair and reasonable and Acquisition B is on normal commercial terms and is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

The issue of Consideration Shares B will not result in a change of control of the Company.

An application will be made by the Company to the Listing Committee for the listing of, and permission to deal in, Consideration Shares B.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Completion B

Completion B will take place on a day agreed between the Company and Vendor B on which all conditions precedent have been fulfilled or waived (as the case may be), and in any event, on such date prior to the date that is 120 days after the date of Acquisition Agreement B, and at such location as may be agreed between Vendor B and the Company (or such other date as the parties may agree in writing).

INCREASE IN AUTHORISED SHARE CAPITAL, ALLOTMENT AND ISSUE OF THE CONSIDERATION SHARES AND SPECIFIC MANDATE FOR THE NEW ISSUE

As at the date of this circular, the authorised share capital of the Company is HK$1,000,000,000 divided into 10,000,000,000 Shares of HK$0.10 each, of which 1,022,679,487 Shares have been issued and are fully paid or credited as fully paid.

The Board proposes to increase the authorised share capital of the Company from HK$1,000,000,000 to HK$2,000,000,000 by the creation of an additional 10,000,000,000 Shares of HK$0.10 each.

At the EGM, an ordinary resolution will be proposed to approve the increase of the authorised share capital of the Company.

The Directors believe that the increase in the authorised share capital of the Company is necessary so that the Company shall have sufficient authorised share capital to issue the Consideration Shares. Depending on market conditions, the Group may also carry out future fund raising exercises of the Company by issuing the Additional Shares to raise capital, the proceeds of which will be used for repayment of the Secured Notes and US$300 million of bank borrowings arising from the Acquisitions. The proposed increase in the authorised share capital of the Company will facilitate the issue of the Additional Shares. In the event that Completion does not take place, a placing will not be carried out.

At the EGM, ordinary resolutions will also be proposed to approve the allotment and issue of the Consideration Shares and the Additional Shares pursuant to Rule 13.36(1)(a) of the Listing Rules.

In relation to the proposal to approve the specific mandate for the New Issue, the Directors will be authorised to allot and issue the Additional Shares if certain conditions, as further described below, are satisfied. The maximum number of Additional Shares which may be issued and allotted pursuant to the New Issue will represent 216.34% of the Company’s current registered issued share capital.

As the New Issue is conditional on the Acquisitions and the Whitewash Waiver, the Shareholders interested in the Acquisitions and the Whitewash Waiver will be required to abstain from voting on the ordinary resolution in relation to the specific mandate for the New Issue to be considered at the EGM.

– 22 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Terms of the New Issue

Maximum number of Additional Shares

The maximum number of Additional Shares which can be allotted and issued pursuant to the New Issue is 2,212,490,442 Shares which represents 20% of the total number of issued Shares if enlarged by the issue of the Consideration Shares.

Issue of the Additional Shares pursuant to the New Issue

If the specific mandate for the New Issue is approved, the Directors can allot and issue all or some of the Additional Shares at any time and from time to time before the expiry date of the specific mandate for the New Issue as described below on such terms and conditions as the Directors consider to be appropriate and in the best interests of the Company and subject to the other conditions, including size, timing and price, as mentioned below.

The price at which any or all of the Additional Shares may be allotted and issued by the Directors under the New Issue will be determined by reference to the prevailing market price of the Shares at the time of offering and all other relevant market considerations. Such price will in any event not represent a discount of 20% or more to the benchmarked price (as set out in Rule 13.36(5) of the Listing Rules) of the Shares.

Approval of the Independent Shareholders

The specific mandate for the New Issue is subject to the approval being obtained from the Independent Shareholders by way of an ordinary resolution at the EGM.

Other conditions

Any allotment and issue of any Additional Shares pursuant to the New Issue is subject to the following conditions:

  • (a) any Additional Shares to be allotted and issued pursuant to the New Issue having been offered to investors who are independent of and not connected with the Company and the Directors, chief executive and substantial shareholder of the Company and its subsidiaries and/or any of their respective associates or any connected persons; and

  • (b) the listing of, and permission to deal in, any Additional Shares to be allotted and issued pursuant to the New Issue having been granted by the Stock Exchange.

Lapse of the specific mandate for the New Issue

The proposed specific mandate for the New Issue, if approved by the Independent Shareholders at the EGM, will lapse on the date falling six months after the passing of the ordinary resolution to approve the specific mandate for the New Issue at the EGM,

– 23 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

irrespective of whether any Additional Shares covered by the New Issue have been allotted and issued in full or not.

Investors should be aware that any issue of Additional Shares pursuant to the New Issue is subject to the satisfaction of a number of terms and conditions which are more particularly set out above. There is no assurance that any of the conditions will be fulfilled. Investors should therefore exercise caution when dealing in the Shares.

The Directors (including the Directors who form part of the Independent Board Committee after taking into account the advice of the Independent Financial Adviser) consider that the proposed specific mandate for the New Issue is fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. Accordingly, the Directors recommend that the Independent Shareholders vote in favour of the ordinary resolution to be proposed at the EGM to approve the specific mandate for the New Issue.

SHAREHOLDING STRUCTURE OF THE COMPANY BEFORE AND AFTER COMPLETION

The following table sets out the shareholding interests in the Company (i) as at the Latest Practicable Date; and (ii) immediately after Completion (assuming that none of the controlling shareholders of the Company, Vendors A or Vendor B (and their associates) sell their Shares and the Company does not issue any new Shares):

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

INFORMATION ON THE VENDORS AND THE TARGET GROUP

Vendors

To the best understanding, knowledge and belief of the Directors, Vendors A and Vendor B are either principally engaged in investment holding activities or are individual investors.

To the best understanding, knowledge and belief of the Directors, Happy Genius is principally an investment holding company ultimately beneficially wholly-owned by Mr. Zhu and his family. Due to the existing business relationship between Mr. Zhang Songyi (who is one of the ultimate beneficial owners of Mandra Materials and Mandra Esop) and Mr. Zhu by virtue of: (i) both Mr. Zhang Songyi and Mr. Zhu being directors of GCL Solar; (ii) Mr. Zhang Songyi having a US$1.75 million investment in a wind turbine blade producing business in which Mr. Zhu is also an investor; and (iii) Mr. Zhang Songyi through Mandra Materials and Mandra Esop, being a 10.38% Shareholder after Completion, Mr. Zhang Songyi, Mandra Materials, Mandra Esop and Mandra Silicon are deemed to be parties acting in concert with Mr. Zhu. The Directors confirm that to the best of their knowledge, information and belief having made all reasonable enquiry, Vendors A (other than Happy Genius, Mandra Materials, Mandra Esop, Mandra Silicon, Bonus Billion, Joy Big, Thornton Asset Management Service Centre Limited and Mr. Chang Tsong Zung) are third parties independent of (a) the Company and (b) connected persons of the Company for the purposes of the Listing Rules.

The Target Group

The Company will acquire from Vendors A and Vendor B in aggregate 100% of the equity interest in Jiangsu Zhongneng. Jiangsu Zhongneng is the major operating company of the Target Group.

The Target Group is one of the leading suppliers of polysilicon and wafers to companies operating in the solar industry. Polysilicon is the primary raw material for wafers used in the solar and electronics industries.

The Target Group manufactures polysilicon at its production facilities, which are located in Xuzhou, Jiangsu province, China. It produced 1,094 MT of polysilicon during the first three months of 2009, which translates to an annual production volume run rate of 4,376 MT, only 17 months after commencing commercial production. For the full year 2009, the Target Group expects to produce approximately 7,500 MT of polysilicon. To the best knowledge of the Directors, there is only a small number of incumbent producers in the world with decades of experience, which are capable of achieving this production scale within such a short period of time.

– 28 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Target Group has implemented proven technology in its polysilicon production facilities. It utilises a modified Siemens process to produce polysilicon and, starting from Xuzhou Phase II onwards, its production facilities have been designed to produce both solar and electronic grade polysilicon.

Xuzhou Phase III 15,000 MT December 2007 December 2008 December 2009(1)

(1) As scheduled

The Target Group commenced construction of its Xuzhou Phase I production facility, which produces solar grade polysilicon in July 2006, and produced its first batch of polysilicon in September 2007. The Target Group intends to fully ramp up its Xuzhou Phase III production facility by December 2009. By then, the Target Group’s total annual polysilicon production capacity will reach 18,000 MT. With further technical improvements, it is anticipated that its total annual polysilicon production capacity will reach 21,000 MT by December 2010, making it one of the largest polysilicon manufacturers in the world in terms of production capacity.

TCS is one of the main and most costly production inputs used in the production of polysilicon, and to date, the Target Group has relied on third party suppliers for most of its TCS requirements. To reduce reliance on TCS from third party suppliers, which is relatively more costly to purchase, the Target Group is increasingly incorporating TCS production into its production process. The Target Group integrated the hydrochlorination process for its Xuzhou Phase I production facility and Xuzhou Phase II production facility in February and September 2008 respectively. The hydrochlorination process for its Xuzhou Phase III started operating in December 2008 and will be further ramped up during 2009. The hydrochlorination process recycles STC, which is a by-product of the polysilicon production process, into TCS and this process is critical in enabling the Target Group to reduce its production costs. The Target Group also owns Taixing which is a TCS production facility with an annual capacity of 20,000 MT located in Taizhou, Jiangsu province, China. Taixing commenced commercial production in September 2008 and the Target Group has already successfully used the TCS produced by Taixing in its polysilicon production process. For the year ended 31 December 2008, the three months ended 31 March 2009 and the month ended 31 May 2009, approximately 20.9%, 37.3% and 77.2% of the Target Group’s TCS consumption was produced in-house resulting in a production cost of RMB458.6, RMB331.0 and RMB249.5 per kilogram respectively.

In addition, the Target Group began selling wafers manufactured using polysilicon produced by the Target Group through tolling arrangements with third party manufacturers during the second quarter of 2008. The Target Group has entered into long-term polysilicon and wafer supply agreements with solar cell and module manufacturers that provide for aggregate sales volume of approximately 15.4 GW of

– 29 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

wafers and approximately 33,311 MT of polysilicon. The terms of these agreements range from four years to seven years. Selling prices of the contracted polysilicon and wafers are to be negotiated and agreed upon between the Target Group and its customers before deliveries are made. Prior to its entry into such supply contracts, the Target Group sold all of its polysilicon on the spot market to major Chinese solar manufacturers.

The Target Group has established good business relationships with a number of well-established solar cell and module producers which are essentially the customers of the Target Group. Over the years, there has not been any over-reliance on any of these solar cell and module producers. In addition, the Target Group has procured and purchased each of its production inputs from a number of suppliers and does not rely on any one of them for the supply of production inputs.

For the year ended 31 December 2007, the Target Group sold 153 MT of polysilicon, all of which was sold in the last quarter of 2007. For the year ended 31 December 2008, the Target Group sold 1,530 MT of polysilicon and 39.2 MW of wafers.

The Directors believe that there is no material adverse change in the financial and trading position of the Target Group since 31 December 2008.

Risk factors

The following are possible risk factors which may relate to the Target Group:

Continuous capital investment

The business of the Target Group may require significant and continuous capital investment. Continuous capital investments may exceed the original budgets, and it is not guaranteed to achieve the intended economic results or commercial viability. Actual capital expenditures for the business of the Target Group may significantly exceed the Group’s budgets because of various factors beyond the Group’s control, which in turn may affect the Group’s financial condition.

Policies and regulations

The business of the Target Group is subject to extensive governmental regulations, policies and controls. There can be no assurance that the relevant government authorities (i) will maintain the existing laws and regulations or (ii) will not impose additional or more stringent laws or regulations. Failure to comply with the relevant laws and regulations may adversely affect the Group.

Credit availability to solar companies in China

Driven by domestic economic stimulus, availability of domestic credit to Chinese solar companies has become relatively easy. While this is helping companies in the near term, there is a concern that it may delay capital expenditure discipline and hence prolong overcapacity. In addition, there can be no assurance that this availability of domestic credit to Chinese solar companies will continue. Failure to obtain a sufficient level of credit facilities may affect the Group’s financial condition.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

REASONS AND BENEFITS OF THE ACQUISITIONS TO THE GROUP

The Group is one of the largest foreign-owned independent power cogeneration plant operators in the PRC and is principally engaged in the development, management and operation of power cogeneration plants in the PRC. In addition, the Group’s power generation plants fall into one of the categories of environmentally friendly power plants that are encouraged by the PRC government. The Directors believe that various incentives provided by the PRC government to encourage environmentally friendly power plants such as higher on-grid tariffs, higher utilisation hours, higher dispatch priority, and preferential tax treatments are beneficial to the Group as an environmentally friendly energy enterprise. Furthermore, the Group plans to develop and acquire additional environmentally friendly power plants using clean and renewable fuels, including plants using solar technology. With the vision of providing environmentally friendly energy worldwide, the Directors consider that the Acquisitions will facilitate the Group’s access to technology for large scale renewable energy related operations, after which the Group may then further develop its operations in the renewable energy industry.

The Directors believe that the Acquisitions will lead to the diversification of the Group’s current utility business portfolio. It is the intention of the Directors that the Group will continue its current business. Other than the Acquisitions, the Directors have no intention to introduce any changes to the existing business of the Group, including any redeployment of the fixed assets of the Group, nor to discontinue the employment of the Group’s employees.

In tapping into the renewable energy industry, the Group expects to create integration synergies, through raising its downstream competitiveness as well as expanding its upstream business operations. Furthermore, the Directors consider that the Acquisitions will create attractive business opportunities for the Group by enabling the Group to commercialise solar energy products for the commercial and retail market.

The Directors believe the following factors relating to the industries in which the Target Group operates are beneficial to the growth of the Group, as described in more detail below:

Solar market

Solar power is one of the most rapidly growing renewable energy sources in the world today. Over the past decade, the solar market has expanded significantly. According to European Photovoltaic Industry Association, total solar photovoltaic cumulative capacity has grown from approximately 1 GW in 1998 to 14.7 GW in 2008 (31% CAGR) on the back of increased demand for clean and renewable energy, to become a commercially strong industry. Despite this robust growth, solar still only accounts for less than 1% of global electricity generation, thus providing significant room for future development. Solar power systems generally comprise a multitude of solar modules, which are made up of multiple solar cells.

– 34 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

According to Solarbuzz, the solar market in China is still relatively small at 35 MW in 2008, yet it is expected to undergo a profound transformation from a market dominated by off-grid rural and industrial projects, to one marked by a significant increase in large grid-connected ground mounted systems. This shift is dependent on changing project economics and increasing governmental support. The PRC’s long-term energy policy has been shaped by the PRC government’s central planning agency, the National Development and Reform Commission, with the ancillary National Energy Administration focusing on the specifics of energy supply and production. The PRC government has acknowledged its role in global carbon emissions reductions and has released a series of policy statements emphasising the PRC’s dedication to renewable energies, including the ‘Renewable Energies Law’ and the ‘Medium and Long-Term Development Plan for Renewable Energy’. The latter of the two policies calls for renewable energy to comprise 10% of total energy consumption by 2010 (with 300 MW from solar energy) and 15% by 2020 (with 1.8 GW from solar energy). However, recent policy statements have indicated that this figure may well rise to 400-500 MW by 2010, and 2 GW by 2020.

The Ministry of Finance (“MoF”) of China announced an upfront subsidy of RMB20 per watt for Building-Integrated Photovoltaic (“BIPV”) systems in April 2009. The MoF then further issued a clarification stating that the upper limit of the subsidy is RMB20 per watt for BIPV systems and RMB15 per watt for non-BIPV systems. Furthermore, Jiangsu province, where Jiangsu Zhongneng is located, has recently announced a solar Feed-In-Tariff (“FIT”) programme to support 400 MW of solar installations from 2009 to 2011. This is the first ever FIT program from China and is very encouraging for local solar companies. The FIT rates for the year 2009 will be RMB2.15 per kWh inclusive of VAT for ground mount systems, RMB3.70 per kWh inclusive of VAT for rooftop systems, and RMB4.30 per kWh inclusive of VAT for BIPV systems, and will be lower for the years 2010 and 2011.

Polysilicon market

Polysilicon is the primary raw material used by the solar and electronics industries. The solar industry produces solar wafers, cells, modules and systems that convert energy from sunlight into electricity. The electronics industry produces semiconductors for use in electronic applications. Historically, the electronics industry has been the dominant user of polysilicon. Recent rapid growth of the solar industry has placed it on an equal footing with the electronics industry in terms of polysilicon consumption. In 2007, for the first time, the solar industry consumed approximately 54% of the global polysilicon production while the electronics industry consumed the remaining 46%, according to Solarbuzz. As a result of this rapid expansion, sales to the solar industry is now the main driver affecting the price, profit and growth of the polysilicon market.

The considerable growth in the solar industry over recent years has resulted in greater demand for polysilicon. Although the raw material, MG-Si, is in abundance, there are significant barriers to entry to the market to produce high-purity polysilicon. Polysilicon production requires highly sophisticated processes and technological know-how. Furthermore, a significant scale of operations of at least 3,000-5,000 MT per annum production capacity is required in order to achieve a competitive cost position.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Solar wafer industry

Polysilicon is used as feedstock for the production of monocrystalline and multicrystalline ingots. These ingots are then sliced into wafers by wire saws, which will then be used for solar cell and module production. Many companies compete in the solar wafer market. Some of the major wafer producers use a part or all of their wafer output for the in-house production of solar cells. In addition, various existing and new wafer manufacturers are expanding their production capacity to meet growing market demand. The main barriers to entry for wafer manufacturing currently include significant capital expenditure, access to high performance manufacturing equipment, availability of polysilicon, solid customer relationships with leading solar cell producers worldwide and significant manufacturing experience required to optimise manufacturing efficiency. Relationships with the leading established solar cell producers are critical to gaining feedback on wafer performance and fine-tuning wafer production to ensure a sustainable technological lead.

Strengths of the Target Group

The Directors believe that the Target Group is able to compete effectively and capitalise on the long-term growth in the market for polysilicon and wafers in the solar industry due to the Target Group’s competitive strengths described in more detail below:

Proven capability in constructing and ramping up polysilicon production capacity

The Target Group has proven its capability in constructing and ramping up polysilicon production capacity. The construction and shipment of its first batch of polysilicon from its Xuzhou Phase I and Xuzhou Phase II production facilities were completed within 15 months and 11 months, respectively. For the three months ended 31 March 2008, 30 June 2008, 30 September 2008 and 31 December 2008, the Target Group produced 302 MT, 359 MT, 565 MT and 624 MT of polysilicon, respectively, and in the three months ended 31 March 2009, the Target Group produced 1,094 MT of polysilicon. The Directors believe that the Target Group is one of the few manufacturers of polysilicon in China to have attained commercial production of approximately 400 MT per month. With the ramp up of Xuzhou Phase III by the end of 2009, the Target Group expects its annual production capacity to reach 18,000 MT. Together with technological improvements, annual production capacity is expected to increase to 21,000 MT, making the Target Group one of the largest polysilicon producers worldwide in terms of production capacity. In addition, the Target Group also has plans to construct over 1 GW of solar ingot and wafer manufacturing capacities in the next 12 months.

Proven capability in reducing production costs

The hydrochlorination process has been successfully integrated into all the polysilicon production facilities in Xuzhou and is critical in enabling the Target Group to reduce its production costs. Taixing which is a TCS production facility with an annual capacity of 20,000 MT also contributes to ensuring a steady supply of

– 36 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

TCS. The Target Group has been able to reduce polysilicon production cycle times, electricity consumption and the use of raw materials in order to enhance production efficiency. The Target Group has thus far been able to shorten production cycles by adjusting reactor parameters as well as optimising electricity usage.

In-house research and development capabilities

The Target Group possesses proprietary technology and know-how of hydrochlorination which allows the Target Group to reduce production costs. The Target Group has successfully applied for eight patents in connection with the hydrochlorination process and reactor technology and there are 11 other patent applications pending approval. The senior management team spearheads the research and development efforts of the Target Group and sets strategic directions for the advancement of products and production processes, focusing on efforts to improve product quality, reduce manufacturing costs and broaden product markets. The Target Group has set up a research and development centre in China and intends to set up another research and development centre in the United States of America in order to develop other technologies that can assist the Target Group in addressing the future trends of the solar market.

Contracted long-term customers

The Target Group has entered into polysilicon and wafer supply agreements with cell and module manufacturers that provide for aggregate sales of approximately 15.4 GW of wafers and approximately 33,311 MT of polysilicon.

Cost effective production process, facilities and operations

The Directors believe that the advanced production processes and the equipment which the Target Group is installing at its China production facilities will enable the Target Group to achieve an effective cost structure that will converge with those of leading polysilicon producers worldwide. The Target Group intends to maximise its production efficiency by leveraging on the competitive costs of its skilled workforce, engineering and technical resources, production equipment and facilities. In addition, the close proximity of its Xuzhou production facilities to both solar and electronics product manufacturers located in the Jiangsu province, a key area for the solar and electronics manufacturing industries in China, allows customer proximity and facilitates efficient inventory management.

Experienced management team

The Target Group’s management team consists of an experienced and diversified group of entrepreneurs and professionals who have positioned the business of the Target Group to take advantage of the increased demand for polysilicon and the growing need for cost-effective alternative clean energy. The Directors believe that the members of the Target Group’s senior management team have a proven track record of establishing and successfully managing enterprises as well as constructing and operating large-scale power and chemical plants.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Based on the above, the Directors (including the Directors who form part of the Independent Board Committee after taking the advice of the Independent Financial Adviser into account) consider that the terms and conditions of the Acquisitions, the specific mandate for the New Issue and the Whitewash Waiver are fair and reasonable, and in the interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.

FINANCIAL AND TRADING PROSPECTS

The Group

For the year ended 31 December 2008, the Group recorded a significant growth in revenue of RMB3,693.3 million, representing an increase of 100.2% compared with a revenue of RMB1,844.7 million for the year ended 31 December 2007. Gross profit was RMB497.3 million for the year ended 31 December 2008, representing a 37.2% increase from RMB362.4 million for the same period last year. The significant increase was mainly due to several acquisitions in 2007 and the acquired power plants’ full year results being consolidated into the Group’s income statement. The profit attributable to the equity holders of the Company was RMB131.3 million for the year ended 31 December 2008 as compared with a loss of RMB266.7 million for the same period last year. The loss in 2007 was mainly due to a loss on valuation of the fair value of a convertible note issued.

In 2008, an unprecedented surge in coal prices had a negative effect on our Group. As a result of the “coal cost pass-through” mechanism enacted by the National Development and Reform Commission in 2005, electricity tariffs were increased on 1 July 2008 and 20 August 2008. However, the level of increase in on-grid tariffs fell below the increase in coal prices which affected the Group’s fuel cost significantly in the first half of 2008. Nevertheless, the Group fared better than traditional coal-fired power plant operators as the Group was able to derive higher on-grid tariffs and steam prices from the Group’s environmentally friendly energy power plants.

In November 2008, China announced a huge economic stimulus package amounting to US$586 billion on a wide array of national infrastructure projects aimed at bolstering its economy and helping to fight the effects of the global economic slowdown. The Directors believe the effect of this stimulus package will be reflected in the Group’s business and operations during the second half of 2009.

Looking forward in 2009, amid the current global economic downturn, the Directors anticipate steady demand for electricity and steam during the first half and a mild increase in demand in the second half of the year. As most of the Group’s power plants are located near the Yangtze River Delta region, which is the most important agricultural, industrial and economic centre in China, the Directors believe this area will be the first in China to rebound after the recession and consequently will benefit the Group. The Directors confidence in 2009 is also based on the recent decrease in interest rates and coal prices which will help ease the Group’s costs significantly.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Enlarged Group

Upon Completion, the Target Group will become subsidiaries of the Company and the financial information of the Target Group will be consolidated into the consolidated financial statements of the Group. Based on the unaudited pro forma financial information of the Enlarged Group as set out in Appendix V to this circular, the revenue and gross profit of the Group for the year ended 31 December 2008 was approximately RMB3,693.3 million and RMB497.3 million respectively and the unaudited pro forma revenue and gross profit of the Enlarged Group would increase to RMB7,214.8 million and RMB3,063.6 million respectively after Completion.

Looking forward in 2009, after Completion, the Enlarged Group will continue with the existing principal business of the Group in the development, management and operation of power cogeneration plants in the PRC. In addition, the Acquisitions will enable the Enlarged Group to (i) commercialise solar energy products for the commercial and retail market and (ii) gain access to technology for large scale renewable energy related operations.

The Directors consider that the Acquisitions will enhance the income and assets base of the Group. Furthermore, significant income will be generated from the manufacturing business of polysilicon and wafers in the solar industry in the PRC.

In addition, the Directors consider that the Acquisitions will create attractive business opportunities for the Group and will broaden its revenue base. In tapping into the renewable energy industry, the Group expects to create integration synergies, in particular, raising its downstream competitiveness as well as expanding its upstream business operations and achieving vertical business integration. The Directors also believe that the Acquisitions will lead to the diversification of the Group’s current utility business portfolio thereby providing significant growth potential.

FINANCIAL IMPACT OF THE ACQUISITIONS ON THE GROUP

Based on the unaudited pro forma financial information of the Enlarged Group as set out in Appendix V to this circular, the total assets of the Group as at 31 December 2008 were approximately RMB7,069.5 million and the unaudited pro forma total assets of the Enlarged Group would amount to approximately RMB23,401.8 million. The total liabilities of the Group as at 31 December 2008 were approximately RMB4,245.8 million and the unaudited pro forma liabilities of the Enlarged Group as at 31 December 2008 would amount to approximately RMB15,205.9 million. The net assets of the Group and the equity attributable to equity holders of the Company as at 31 December 2008 were approximately RMB2,823.7 million and RMB2,415.8 million respectively. The unaudited pro forma net assets of the Enlarged Group and the unaudited pro forma equity attributable to equity holders of the Company would increase to approximately RMB8,195.9 million and approximately RMB7,787.9 million respectively. It is expected that the Acquisitions will not have any adverse effect on the financial position and earnings of the Group.

– 39 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The profit attributable to the shareholders of the Enlarged Group for the year ended 31 December 2008 of approximately RMB1,646.7 million would be higher than the profit attributable to the shareholders of the Group of approximately RMB131.3 million, mainly due to the profit contributed by Target Group A of approximately RMB2,232.6 million and the pro forma finance costs arising from the issuance of the Secured Notes and the loan facilities of US$300 million to be obtained by GCL Solar or its subsidiaries upon Completion. Earnings per Share would increase from approximately RMB0.128 (based on the net profit attributable to the Shareholders for the year ended 31 December 2008 and 1,022,679,487 Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date) to earnings per share of the Enlarged Group of approximately RMB0.149 (based on the unaudited pro forma net profit attributable to the shareholders of the Enlarged Group and 11,062,452,214 Shares being in issue upon Completion).

On Completion, the fair value of the net identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the Group will have to be reassessed. As a result of such reassessment, the assets and liabilities of the Group upon Completion may be different from the estimations based on the basis stated for the purpose of preparation of the unaudited pro forma financial information.

The following is the text of a letter received from the Independent Financial Adviser setting out its advice to the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders in respect of the Acquisitions, the specific mandate for the New Issue and the Whitewash Waiver for inclusion in this circular.

FIRST SHANGHAI CAPITAL LIMITED 19th Floor, Wing On House 71 Des Voeux Road Central Hong Kong

30 June 2009

To the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders

Dear Sir or Madam,

VERY SUBSTANTIAL ACQUISITIONS AND CONNECTED TRANSACTIONS; APPLICATION FOR WHITEWASH WAIVER; AND SPECIFIC MANDATE FOR THE NEW ISSUE

INTRODUCTION

We refer to our engagement to advise the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders in relation to the Company’s proposed acquisitions of 100% of the equity interest in Jiangsu Zhongneng (the “Acquisitions”) under the Acquisition Agreements and all the transactions contemplated thereunder including the application for the Whitewash Waiver, and the specific mandate for the New Issue, details of which are set out in the circular of the Company dated 30 June 2009 (the “Circular”) to the Shareholders of which this letter forms a part. Unless the context otherwise requires, terms used in this letter shall have the same meanings as those defined in the Circular.

The Acquisitions constitute very substantial acquisitions for the Company under the Listing Rules. As Happy Genius, one of the vendors, is ultimately beneficially wholly-owned by Mr. Zhu and his family, the controlling Shareholders, Happy Genius is a connected person of the Company under the Listing Rules and the Acquisitions therefore constitute connected transactions for the Company under the Listing Rules. The Acquisitions and the allotment and issuance of the Consideration Shares require the approval of the Independent Shareholders at the EGM.

Immediately following the Completion, the interests held by Mr. Zhu, his associates and parties acting in concert with any of them, will increase from approximately 34.47% to approximately 56.17% of the issued share capital of the Company as enlarged by the Consideration Shares. Mr. Zhu has therefore made an application to the Executive for the

– 46 –

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

Whitewash Waiver from an obligation to make a mandatory general offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code in respect of the Shares not owned by Mr. Zhu, his associates and parties acting in concert with any of them immediately following the Completion. The Executive has indicated that he will grant the Whitewash Waiver to Mr. Zhu subject to, among other things, the approval of the Independent Shareholders of the Acquisitions and the Whitewash Waiver at the EGM on a vote taken by poll.

As the New Issue is conditional on the Acquisitions and the Whitewash Waiver, the New Issue is subject to the approval of the Independent Shareholders at the EGM.

The Independent Board Committee, comprising all the independent non-executive Directors, namely Mr. Yip Tai Him, Mr. Qian Zhi Xin, Ir. Dr. Raymond Ho Chung Tai and Mr. Xue Zhong Su, has been formed to advise the Independent Shareholders on the Acquisitions, the specific mandate for the New Issue and the Whitewash Waiver. We, First Shanghai Capital Limited, have been appointed to advise the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders in this regard.

In putting forth our opinion and recommendation, we have relied on the accuracy of the information and representations included in the Circular and provided to us by the Directors and the Group, and have assumed that all such information and representations made or referred to in the Circular and provided to us by the Directors and the Group were true at the time they were made and continued to be true up to the time of the holding of the EGM. We have also assumed that all statements of belief, opinion and intention made in the Circular were reasonably made after due enquiry. We have no reason to doubt the truth, accuracy and completeness of the information and representations provided to us by the Directors and the Group and have been advised that no material facts have been withheld or omitted from the information provided and referred to in the Circular. We consider that we have reviewed sufficient information to reach an informed view and to justify reliance on the accuracy of the information contained in the Circular and to provide a reasonable basis for our advice. We have not, however, conducted any independent verification of the information included in the Circular and provided to us by the Directors and the Group nor have we conducted any form of investigation into the business, affairs or future prospects of the Group and the Target Group.

PRINCIPAL FACTORS AND REASONS CONSIDERED

In formulating our opinion, we have considered the following principal factors and reasons:

1. Business and financial performance of the Group

  • (i) Business and history of the Group

The Group was wholly-owned by Mr. Zhu prior to its listing on the Main Board of the Stock Exchange in November 2007. Since its listing on the Main Board of the Stock Exchange, the Group has been principally engaged in the development, management and operation of power cogeneration plants in the PRC and is currently one of the largest foreign-owned independent power cogeneration plant operators in the PRC.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

The Group has been seeking strategic acquisition opportunities in order to maintain the Group’s leadership role in the PRC’s environmentally friendly energy power sector, including acquiring environmentally friendly power plants using different kinds of clean and renewable fuels, and relevant upstream business operations, as demonstrated from the following acquisitions made by the Group: (i) in the first quarter of 2008, the Group completed the acquisition of 100% equity interest of Xilingol Guotai Wind Power Generation Co., Ltd., where the Group has the right to develop a wind generation power plant in Inner Mongolia; and (ii) in August 2008, the Group entered into a conditional sale and purchase agreement for the acquisition of 55% equity interest in Inner Mongolia Duolun Golden Concord Mining Ltd., which is engaged in coal mining business in Inner Mongolia, though this transaction has not yet been completed as at the Latest Practicable Date.

For the year ended 31 December 2008, the Group was organized into five business segments: coal-fuelled & resources comprehensive utilization (“RCU”) cogeneration plants (including coal, gangue, coal sludge and other low heat value fuels), gas-fuelled cogeneration plants, biomass-fuelled cogeneration plants, coal trading and incineration plant & others (including a municipal solid waste incineration plant, a wind power plant under

For the year ended 31 December 2007, a substantial portion of the Group’s consolidated revenue and contribution to profit from operations were derived from the coal-fuelled & RCU cogeneration plants and gas-fuelled cogeneration plants.

For the year ended 31 December 2008, coal-fuelled & RCU cogeneration plants were the largest contributors to the revenue of the Group, followed by gas-fuelled cogeneration plants, biomass-fuelled cogeneration plants, coal trading and incineration plant & others. Revenue generated from cogeneration plants, in aggregate, accounted for approximately 82.2% of total revenue of the Group for the year ended 31 December 2008.

For the year ended 31 December 2008, the Group’s revenue increased significantly by approximately 100.2% to approximately RMB3,693.3 million, which was mainly due to the acquisition of cogeneration plants during the year ended 31 December 2007 where full year revenue was consolidated into the Group’s income statement for the year ended 31 December 2008. However, the Group’s gross profit margin and operating profit margin decreased from approximately 19.6% and 14.2% for the year ended 31 December 2007 to approximately 13.5% and 11.4% for the year ended 31 December 2008, respectively, as a result of the increase in average unit cost of coal for electricity generation and steam generation by approximately 30.5% and 24.5%, respectively, for the year ended 31 December 2008. Profit from operations of the Group increased by approximately 60.4% to approximately RMB420.9 million for the year ended 31 December 2008.

In addition to the increase in profit from operations, the non-recurrence of a loss on fair value of convertible notes, which amounted to approximately RMB339.7 million for the year ended 31 December 2007, also contributed to the Group’s turnaround from a loss making position for the year ended 31 December 2007 to a net profit of approximately RMB179.7 million for the year ended 31 December 2008.

2. Business and financial performance of the Target Group

(i) Business of the Target Group

The Target Group is principally engaged in the manufacture and sale of polysilicon and wafers to companies operating in the solar industry.

The Target Group manufactures polysilicon at its production facilities located in Xuzhou, Jiangsu province, the PRC. The production facilities of the Target Group comprise of three phases, which are Xuzhou Phase I, Xuzhou Phase II and Xuzhou Phase III. Both Xuzhou Phase I and Xuzhou Phase II have reached their respective designed annual production capacity of 1,500 MT in March 2008 and December 2008 respectively. The Xuzhou Phase III production facilities commenced commercial production in December 2008 and is expected to reach its designed annual production capacity of 15,000 MT by December 2009. It is expected that the Target Group’s total annual polysilicon production capacity will reach 18,000 MT after Xuzhou Phase III is fully ramped up by December 2009. With further technical improvements, the Target Group’s total annual polysilicon production capacity is expected to reach 21,000 MT by December 2010. For the year ending 31 December 2009, the Target Group expects to produce approximately 7,500 MT of polysilicon.

In addition to polysilicon, the Target Group also produces wafers, through tolling arrangements with third party manufacturers using polysilicon produced by the Target Group beginning from the second quarter of 2008. The Target Group intends to construct its own in-house wafers and ingot manufacturing facilities with 1 GW capacities in the next 12 months. Currently, the Target Group has entered into long-term polysilicon and wafer supply agreements with solar cell and module manufacturers that provide for aggregate sales volume of approximately 15.4 GW of wafers and approximately 33,311 MT of polysilicon from 2008 up to 2015. Selling prices of the contracted polysilicon and wafers are to be negotiated and agreed upon between the Target Group and its customers before the deliveries are made.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

The Target Group recycles STC, a by-product of the polysilicon production process, into TCS, which is one of the main and most costly inputs in the polysilicon production process, by the hydrochlorination process. The hydrochlorination process was integrated into the production facilities of Xuzhou Phase I, Xuzhou Phase II and Xuzhou Phase III in February, September and December 2008, respectively, and is critical in enabling the Target Group to reduce its production costs. Prior to the in-house hydrochlorination process being installed, the Target Group relied on third party suppliers for most of its TCS requirements. In addition, the Target Group also owns Taixing, a TCS production facility with an annual capacity of 20,000 MT located in Taizhou, Jiangsu province, the PRC. Taixing commenced commercial production in September 2008 and the Target Group has already successfully used the TCS produced by Taixing in its polysilicon production process. For the year ended 31 December 2008, the three months ended 31 March 2009 and the month ended 31 May 2009, approximately 20.9%, 37.3% and 77.2% of the Target Group’s TCS consumption was produced in-house.

We are advised that the Target Group has commissioned PHOTON Consulting LLC, a solar energy research consultancy, in preparing a report (the “PHOTON Report”) on the global polysilicon production volume and cost forecast from 2008 to 2012. The PHOTON Report published in June 2009 has tracked companies either producing or with aspirations to produce silicon and applied consistent screening criteria to discount their respective production aspirations. According to the PHOTON Report, the Target Group is currently the largest polysilicon producer in the PRC and one of the leading polysilicon producers in Asia. By 2011, the Target Group is expected to become one of the top 5 polysilicon producers in the world. Furthermore, from 2008 to 2012, the Target Group is expected to have one of the highest polysilicon production growth rates among leading global polysilicon producers.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

Since the Target Group A only made its first commercial shipment of polysilicon in October 2007, the Target Group A did not record any revenue for the period from 13 November 2006 to 31 December 2006. As Xuzhou Phase I reached its designed annual production capacity in March 2008, and Xuzhou Phase II commenced commercial production in July 2008 and reached its designed annual production capacity in December 2008, the sales volume and revenue of the Target Group A increased significantly for the year ended 31 December 2008. As the Target Group A operated commercially for the whole year ended 31 December 2008, revenues increased by approximately 10.7 times year-on-year to approximately RMB3,521.4 million for the year ended 31 December 2008. Gross profit margin of the Target Group A remained stable, decreasing slightly from approximately 73.1% for the year ended 31 December 2007 to approximately 72.5% for the year ended 31 December 2008 as a result of the decrease in average selling price.

The Target Group A recorded a net loss of approximately RMB48.7 million for the year ended 31 December 2007, which was mainly attributable to the Target Group A only making its first commercial shipment of polysilicon in October 2007 and the gross profit generated for the year ended 31 December 2007 was not enough to cover (i) administrative expenses of approximately RMB120.6 million; (ii) change in fair value of convertible loan notes and change in fair value of convertible redeemable preferred shares, in aggregate, of approximately RMB104.8 million; and (iii) finance costs of approximately RMB37.8 million for the year ended 31 December 2007.

For the year ended 31 December 2008, as the Target Group A fully ramped up its Xuzhou Phase I and Xuzhou Phase II polysilicon production facilities, the Target Group A recorded significant increases in revenue and gross profit. As the administrative expenses, change in fair value of convertible loan notes and finance costs increased by a smaller extent than that of the revenue and gross profit, the Target Group A recorded profit before tax and profit for the year of approximately RMB2,262.4 million and RMB2,232.6 million for the year ended 31 December 2008, respectively. The increase in the administrative expenses was mainly due to (i) increase in salaries and other staff costs as a result of headcount increase; (ii) increase in depreciation and other office expenses; and (iii) write off of intangible assets during the year ended 31 December 2008.

3. Overview of the global solar industry

(i) Overview of the polysilicon industry

Polysilicon is the primary raw material used by the photovoltaic (“PV”) and electronics industries. The PV industry uses polysilicon to produce solar wafers, cells, modules and systems that convert energy from sunlight into electricity. The electronics industry uses polysilicon to produce semiconductors for use in electronic applications. Unless otherwise stated, most of the information on the global solar industry is based on a research report (the “Solarbuzz Report”), namely “Annual World Photovoltaic Market Review”, prepared by Solarbuzz in March 2009. According to the Solarbuzz Report, 2008 marked a turning point in the pattern of polysilicon use – semiconductor demand for polysilicon was reduced as a result of the global economic slowdown, but solar demand for polysilicon soared in response to buoyant end-markets through the first nine months of the year, though both the solar and semiconductor markets were in decline by the fourth quarter due to the onset of the global financial crisis. Polysilicon demand for semiconductor and PV use from 2004 to 2008 is set out below:

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

According to the Solarbuzz Report, spot prices for solar grade polysilicon were in the range of US$230-375/kg during the first half of 2008 before rising to a peak of US$400-450/kg by mid-2008, with some low volume transactions exceeding US$500/kg. Still-tight polysilicon supply in the first nine months of 2008 sustained high spot prices and encouraged continued polysilicon capacity expansions by both the major incumbents and new start-ups, many of whom were based in the PRC.

However, the onset of the global financial crisis in the third quarter of 2008 led to a new environment of tighter global financing and slowing economic growth. The tight credit environment meant downstream solar companies were unable to obtain the necessary financing for new projects, which had a ripple effect up the value chain. Combined with the sudden downturn of the Spanish PV market, which was the largest PV market in the world in 2008 and one of the PRC’s key export market, polysilicon prices began to decline. In the last quarter of 2008, polysilicon spot price decreased significantly from US$250-300/kg in October to US$180-210/kg in November and then US$150/kg by December. According to the Solarbuzz Report, the weighted average polysilicon price for the full year of 2009 is projected to be US$75-87/kg.

As capacity expansion throughout the manufacturing chain continued unabated through the third quarter of 2008, the downturn in the Spanish market in the fourth quarter of 2008 trigged a transition from supply shortage to excess. According to a report published by the European Photovoltaic Industry Association in April 2009, namely “Global Market Outlook for Photovoltaics Until 2013” (the “EPIA Report”), a diversification of the market is taking place with countries adopting appropriate support policies. Given the current crisis context, high uncertainties over the 2009 market exist. The PV sector is hoping markets such as the US, Germany, France and Italy with favourable policy frameworks can further accelerate PV deployment in these countries. It is expected that the PV market could reach 7 GW in 2009, depending on individual countries’ development, and 22 GW in 2013 if appropriate policies, such as feed-in-tariffs, are in place.

(ii) Overview of global solar industry

PV technology involves the direct conversion of sunlight to electricity, which is accomplished when solar cells are exposed to light energy. Over the past decade, the solar market has expanded significantly. According to the EPIA Report, total solar PV cumulative capacity has grown from approximately 1.0 GW in 1998 to

14.7 GW in 2008, representing a CAGR of approximately 31%. The growth of the global cumulative PV installed capacity from 1998 to 2008 is as follows:

According to the Solarbuzz Report, Spain became the largest PV market in the world in 2008, growing by 285% year-on-year to reach 2.46 GW. The rapid growth of the Spanish market arose as a result of the government policy that sets feed-in tariff terms at very attractive prices. The market was further boosted by a deadline for installations to be completed and registered by 27 September 2008 in order to enjoy

– 60 –

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

the prevailing feed-in tariff levels. According to the new legislation announced on 27 September 2008, feed-in tariffs for ground-mounted systems were higher than previously anticipated, thus ensuring attractive investment returns for PV installations (though a cap of 500 MW was introduced for 2009). However, since the fourth quarter of 2008, end-user demand almost grounded to a halt due to the onset of the global financial crisis and funding for PV installations became difficult to secure.

The German market had to accommodate a decrease in feed-in tariffs of 5%6.5% in 2008. However, in the fourth quarter of 2008, when the Spanish market came to a near stand-still, large volumes of modules were re-allocated from Spain to Germany. According to the Solarbuzz Report, the solar market in Germany grew 40% from 1,328 MW in 2007 to 1,855 MW in 2008.

Similarly, according to the Solarbuzz Report, the US solar market recorded a growth rate of 62% in 2008, reaching 357 MW in 2008. This was despite the US suffering one of its worst economic downturns. The US government has remained a strong advocate of solar power. In October 2008, the US Congress passed the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 and President Bush signed the US$18 billion legislation into law, extending the 30% federal solar tax credits, for eight more years, up to 2016. This tax credit extends to both residential and commercial solar installations, and the previous cap of US$2,000 for residential solar installations was removed. Moreover, the new law allows utilities to benefit from the tax credit, thus encouraging utilities with a tax equity appetite to invest in solar projects to diversify their energy portfolio.

In Italy, the solar market showed significant growth in 2008 due to a combination of generous funding system and very good insolation conditions. According to the Solarbuzz Report, the market grew 169% from 90 MW in 2007 to 242 MW in 2008.

With 276 MW of new installed capacity in 2008, up from 50 MW in 2007, South Korea’s market also underwent dramatic growth in 2008. The government issued an update of the Basic Plan of National Energy (2008-2030) in February 2009, stating its intention to increase the current 2.8% share of renewable energy in total energy production to 4.3% by 2015, 6.1% by 2020 and 11% by 2030. According to this plan, Korea aims to source 0.13% of its total primary energy supply from solar energy by 2012, which corresponds to a cumulative capacity of 1.3 GW.

According to the Solarbuzz Report, the solar market in the PRC is still relatively small at 35MW in 2008. Yet it is expected to undergo a profound transformation from a market dominated by off-grid rural and industrial projects, to one marked by a significant increase in large grid-connected ground mounted systems. This shift is dependent on changing project economics and increasing governmental support. The PRC’s long-term energy policy has been shaped by the government’s central planning agency, the National Development and Reform Commission, with the ancillary National Energy Administration focusing on the specifics of energy supply and production. The government has acknowledged its

– 61 –

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

role in global carbon emissions reductions and has released a series of policy statements emphasizing the PRC’s dedication to renewable energies, including the “ Renewable Energies Law ” and the “ Medium and Long-Term Development Plan for Renewable Energy ”. The latter of the two policies calls for renewable energy to comprise 10% of total energy consumption by 2010 (with 300 MW from solar energy) and 15% by 2020 (with 1.8 GW from solar energy). However, recent policy statements have indicated that this figure may very well rise to 400-500 MW by 2010, and 2 GW by 2020.

To provide concrete support to the solar industry, China’s Ministry of Finance (MoF) announced an upfront subsidy of RMB20 per watt for building integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) systems in April 2009. The MoF then further issued a clarification stating that the upper limit of the subsidy is RMB20 per watt for BIPV systems and RMB15 per watt for non-BIPV systems.

Furthermore, Jiangsu province of the PRC, where Jiangsu Zhongneng is located, has recently announced a solar feed-in-tariff (FIT) program to support 400MW of solar installations from 2009 to 2011. This is the first FIT program from the PRC and is very encouraging for local solar companies. The FIT rates for the year 2009 will be RMB2.15 per kWh inclusive of VAT for ground mount system, RMB3.70 per kWh inclusive of VAT for rooftop systems, and RMB4.3 per kWh inclusive of VAT for BIPV systems, and will be lower for years 2010 and 2011.

According to the Solarbuzz Report’s balanced energy scenario, worldwide solar demand is expected to increase from 5.9 GW in 2008 to 8.3 GW in 2013, as shown by the chart below:

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

After taking into account (i) that the Group has been seeking strategic acquisition opportunities in order to maintain the Group’s leadership role in the PRC’s renewable energy power sector, including acquiring environmentally friendly power plants and relevant upstream business operations as explained in the section “Business and financial performance of the Group” above; (ii) the optimistic prospects of the solar industry and the polysilicon market as mentioned in the section headed “Overview of the global solar industry” above; and (iii) the strengths of the Target Group as mentioned in the above paragraph, we concur with the Directors’ view that the Acquisitions are in the interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.

5. Principal terms of the Acquisition Agreements

(i) Assets to be purchased

The target companies under the Acquisitions are GCL Solar, Sun Wave and Greatest Joy, which indirectly hold 64%, 20% and 16% of the equity interest in Jiangsu Zhongneng, the major operating company of the Target Group, respectively. The Company will be interested in the entire issued share capital of each of the members of the Target Group upon Completion, which in turn own the entire equity interest in Jiangsu Zhongneng. Pursuant to the terms of the Acquisition Agreement A, the Company has conditionally agreed to purchase Sale Shares A and Vendors A have conditionally agreed to sell Sale Shares A, which comprise the entire issued share capital of GCL Solar. Pursuant to the terms of the Acquisition Agreement B, the Company has conditionally agreed to purchase and Vendor B has conditionally agreed to sell Sale Shares B, which comprise the entire issued share capital of Greatest Joy and the entire issued share capital of Sun Wave.

(ii) Consideration

As set out in the letter from the Board in the Circular, the aggregate consideration (the “Total Consideration”) for Sale Shares A and Sale Shares B of approximately HK$26,350,000,000 was determined after arm’s length negotiations among the Company, Vendors A and Vendor B after taking into account a number of factors including the business prospects, financial position and performance of the Target Group, the future synergies to be derived by the Group after the successful integration of the Target Group, the reasons and benefits to be derived from the Acquisitions, and the agreed valuation of the Target Group.

The agreed valuation of the Target Group is approximately 10.4 times the audited consolidated net profit of Target Group A (attributable to both equity holders and minority interests of Target Group A) for the year ended 31 December 2008, which was approximately RMB2,232.6 million, which was determined based upon arm’s length negotiations amongst the Company, Vendors A and Vendor B, which took into account recent valuations of listed companies operating in a similar industry.

– 64 –

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

We noted that the Sale Shares A and Sale Shares B were acquired by the Vendors A and Vendor B during the period from May 2007 to May 2009 at an aggregate acquisition cost of approximately US$1,116.1 million, where Mandra Materials and Happy Genius first acquired their respective Sale Shares A in May and September 2007, respectively, and Happy Genius agreed to acquire the Sale Shares B in December 2007 which completed in May 2008. Having considered that Happy Genius and Mandra Materials acquired their respective interests in the Target Group before the Target Group commenced commercial operation, we consider it may not be appropriate to directly compare their respective original acquisitions costs at the time the Target Group had not yet commenced commercial operation with the Total Consideration where the Target Group had already recorded profit.

In assessing the fairness and reasonableness of the Total Consideration for the Target Group, we note that there are no companies listed on the Stock Exchange or on other stock exchanges in the PRC that are actively engaged in the manufacture and sale of polysilicon. In this regard, we have extended our research into all companies listed in other stock exchanges around the world actively engaged in the manufacture and sale of polysilicon based on their published information in their respective website and the stock exchange they are listed and identified five listed companies (the “Comparable Companies”) based on the above criteria. Set out below is a table comparing the price to earnings ratio (the “P/E Ratio”) represented by the Total Consideration against those of the Comparable Companies based on their closing prices at the Latest Practicable Date and their latest published earnings per share:

(b) Consideration B

Consideration B of approximately US$830,615,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$6,437,266,250) will be satisfied (i) as to US$200,000,000 by payment in cash; (ii) as to US$350,000,000 by the issuance of the Secured Notes; and (iii) as to approximately US$280,615,000 by the allotment and issuance of Consideration Shares B at the Issue Price of HK$2.2 for each Consideration Share B.

Except for US$200 million which will be settled by payment in cash (the source of which will be derived from funds make available to the Company from the US$300 million loan facility to be obtained by GCL Solar or its subsidiaries), the Total Consideration will be settled entirely by the allotment and issuance of the Consideration Shares and the issuance of the Secured Notes. Pursuant to a supplemental trust deed dated 15 June 2009 entered into between Happy Genius and DB Trustees (Hong Kong) Limited, the US$200 million cash, the Secured Notes and 900,000,000 Consideration Shares B will be used as consideration for the redemption of the Exchangeable Bonds after Completion B. The Exchangeable Bonds were the secured exchangeable bonds due 2010 with principal amount of US$550 million issued by Happy Genius.

Pursuant to the terms of the Acquisition Agreements, GCL Solar or its subsidiaries have to obtain and close on a loan facility in the aggregate amount of US$300 million prior to or concurrently with the Completion in terms that are reasonably satisfactory to Happy Genius and the Company; and to make available

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

US$200 million from part of the funds to be borrowed, as mentioned above, to the Company in such terms to be agreed between GCL Solar and the Company prior to the Completion for the Group to finance the cash portion of the Total Consideration.

We have discussed with the management of the Group about the rationale of financing the Total Consideration by the above-mentioned way. The Board has considered possibility of raising funds through other equity or debt financing methods, such as placing of new Shares, rights issue, open offer and raising bank and other borrowings. However, having considered that (i) the market capitalization of the Group as at the Latest Practicable Date of approximately HK$2,761.2 million is relatively small compared with the Total Consideration of approximately HK$26,350.0 million; and (ii) the Group has just completed the placing of 50,000,000 new Shares at HK$1.55 per Share on 3 June 2009, the Board considers that the Group may not be able to raise sufficient funds to finance the Total Consideration at the time of entering into of the Acquisition Agreements in a timely manner by way of placing of new Shares, rights issue or open offer where the issuance of the Consideration Shares and the Secured Notes allows (i) the Group to finance a substantial portion of the Total Consideration in a timely manner without any cash outlay; and (ii) more time for the Group to raise fund for the repayment of the Secured Notes.

We are advised that the secured bank borrowings of the Group excluding trade related bank borrowings bear a fixed interest rate of approximately 4.37% to 11.16% or variable interest rate of approximately 90% to 130% of the People’s Bank of China’s Benchmark Borrowing Rate of the PRC (the “Benchmark Rate”, i.e. 4.86% to 5.94% depending on maturity as at the Latest Practicable Date); and the unsecured bank borrowings of the Group excluding trade related bank borrowings bear a fixed interest rate of approximately 5.30% to 10.80% or variable interest rate of approximately 100% to 110% of the Benchmark Rate. Having considered (i) the net assets of the Group as at 31 December 2008 of approximately RMB2,823.7 million; and (ii) bank borrowings of the Group as at 31 December 2008 of approximately RMB3,249.2 million, the management of the Group are of the view that it may not be easy to obtain new bank and other borrowings to the scale of US$350 million (equivalent to approximately RMB2,380 million) with terms more favorable than the Secured Notes.

The Secured Notes bear an interest rate of 10% per annum (payable semi-annually in arrears) with maturity of 18 months and payable in 3 equal installments on (i) the last business day of the 6-month period after the date of issue; (ii) the last business day of the 12-month period after the date of issue; and (iii) the maturity date. In addition to the interest rate, the Secured Notes bear an accretion rate of 5% per annum, which shall be made concurrently with any payment of the underlying principal of the Secured Notes and can be paid either in cash or in Shares (to be valued at the trading price of the Shares when the repayment is made) at the option of the Company. The Secured Notes have an effective interest rate of approximately 15.6%, which is above the range of the existing borrowings of the Group. We are of the view that the effective interest rate is acceptable after taking into account (i) the substantial amount of the Secured Notes; (ii) the Secured Notes

– 67 –

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

do not charge any premium for early repayment, which provides flexibility for the Group should it consider early repayment by raising bank or other borrowings with different terms or other financing alternatives is in the interest of the Group at some point during the 18 months term; and (iii) the fact that the issuance of the Secured Notes allows the Group to finance part of the Total Consideration in a timely manner.

The terms of the Secured Notes also provide mandatory prepayment clause where the Group has to repay part of the principal amounts of the Secured Notes in the event of certain fund raising exercises. The terms of the Secured Notes show that Happy Genius, the controlling Shareholder, agrees to defer part of the payment of the consideration in cash for the Sale Shares B until there is available fund to the Group which, in our view, is in the interest of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. Details of the terms of the Secured Notes are set out in the letter from the Board in the Circular.

As set out in the letter from the Board in the Circular, depending on market conditions, the Group may also carry out future fund raising exercises of the Company by issuing the Additional Shares to raise capital, the proceeds of which will be used for repayment of the Secured Notes and US$300 million bank borrowings arising from the Acquisitions.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

  • (2) Calculated based on the average number of public float Share for each month during the Period obtained from Bloomberg.

  • (3) Up to the Latest Practicable Date where the Shares were suspended during 4 June 2009 to 22 June 2009.

Trading volumes of the Shares during most of the months of the Period as shown above were in general thin, representing less than 1% of the total issued Shares per month and less than 1% of the Shares in public float except for November 2007 when the Company was just listed on the Stock Exchange, May 2009 when the Company announced the Placing, and June 2009 when the Company released the Announcement, though the Directors are not aware of any reasons for the increase in trading volumes of the Shares prior to the release of the Announcement.

We noted that the Issue Price represents a discount of approximately 22.26% to the audited consolidated net asset value attributable to equity holders of the Company per Share, however, given the historical share price movement analysed above where (i) the Issue Price represents premiums to the average of the closing prices of the Shares for the last 10, 30, 90 and 180 trading days prior to the issue of the Announcement, (ii) the Issue Price is above the price of the Shares during most of the Period, and (iii) the thin trading volumes of the Shares, we consider that the Issue Price is fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned.

Having considered (i) the benefits attributable to the Group as mentioned in the section headed “Reasons for the Acquisitions” above; (ii) that the P/E Ratio of the Target Group represented by the Total Consideration is within the range of the P/E Ratios of the Comparable Companies; (iii) that the settlement method of the Total Consideration enables the Group to complete the Acquisitions without any immediate cash outlay to the Group and provides flexibility for the Group to repay the principal amount of the Secured Notes; (iv) that the Issue Price is above the historical Share price for most of the Period and the placing price of HK$1.55 per Share under the independent Placing just completed on 3 June 2009; and (v) that the trading volume of the Shares is generally thin, we are of the view that the terms of the Acquisition Agreements, including the Total Consideration and the settlement terms, are fair and reasonable and the Acquisitions are in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

6. Risk factors

The Acquisitions will extend the business risk of the Enlarged Group as set out under the “Risk factors” section in the letter from the Board in the Circular. The Independent Shareholders may wish to bear in mind the following risk factors when considering the Acquisitions:

Continuous capital investment

The business of the Target Group may require significant and continuous capital investment. Continuous capital investments may exceed the original budgets, and it is not guaranteed to achieve the intended economic results or commercial viability. Actual capital expenditures for the business of the Target Group may significantly exceed the Group’s budgets because of various factors beyond the Group’s control, which in turn may affect the Group’s financial condition.

Policies and regulations

The business of the Target Group is subject to extensive governmental regulations, policies and controls. There can be no assurance that the relevant government authorities (i) will maintain the existing laws and regulations or (ii) will not impose additional or more stringent laws or regulations. Failure to comply with the relevant laws and regulations may adversely affect the Group.

Credit availability to solar companies in China

Driven by domestic economic stimulus, availability of domestic credit to Chinese solar companies has become relatively easy. While this is helping companies in the near term, there is a concern that it may delay capital expenditure discipline and hence prolong overcapacity. In addition, there can be no assurance that this availability of domestic credit to Chinese solar companies will continue. Failure to obtain a sufficient level of credit facilities may affect the Group’s financial condition.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

Notes:

  • (1) The 45.79% interests (representing 5,065,628,327 Shares) of Mr. Zhu and his family are held by Highexcel Investments Limited (before and after Completion) and Happy Genius (upon Completion), which are indirectly wholly-owned by Asia Pacific Energy Fund Limited, which in turn is ultimately held on trust by Credit Suisse Trust Limited for Mr. Zhu and his family. The 10.38% interests (representing 1,148,159,282 Shares) of Mr. Zhang Songyi are held by Mandra Materials, Mandra Esop and Mandra Silicon.

  • (2) The interests of Morgan Stanley in the Company are held through:

  • (a) MS China 3 Limited, which holds 160,080,000 Shares and is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Morgan Stanley Emerging Markets Inc., which in turn is wholly-owned by Morgan Stanley. Morgan Stanley is therefore deemed to be interested in the 160,080,000 Shares held by MS China 3; and

  • (b) Morgan Stanley & Co. Inc., which holds 616,000 Shares and is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Morgan Stanley. Morgan Stanley is therefore deemed to be interested in the 616,000 Shares held by Morgan Stanley & Co. Inc.

  • (3) The interests of Poly (Hong Kong) Investments Limited are held through its indirect wholly-owned subsidiary, Power Jade Holdings Limited.

  • (4) The interests of both Bonus Billion and Joy Big are held by Mr. Yu. Bonus Billion and Joy Big are members of Vendors A.

  • (5) Ms. Chan Wai Ho (being the wife of Mr. Chang Tsong Zung, who is one of the members of Vendors A and the brother of Mr. Zhang Songyi) is a public Shareholder who currently owns 242,000 Shares which she acquired more than six months prior to the date of the Announcement.

  • (6) Mr. Cheng Zai Zhong (being one of the ultimate beneficial owners of Thornton Asset Management Service Centre Limited, which is one of the members of Vendors A) is a public Shareholder who currently owns 3,520,000 Shares. Thornton Asset Management Service Centre Limited is a member of Vendors A.

  • (7) The 40.56% Shares held by the other public Shareholders are held: (a) as to 29.07% by the Other Shareholders of GCL Solar (other than Bonus Billion, Joy Big, Chang Tsong Zung, Thornton Asset Management Service Centre Limited), (b) as to 8.14% by the Holders, which Shares shall be transferred to the Holders by Happy Genius after Completion, pursuant to the redemption of the Exchangeable Bonds, and (c) as to 3.35% by the existing public Shareholders. No member of Vendors A (other than Happy Genius, Mandra Materials, Mandra Esop and Mandra Silicon) will hold 10% or more of the issued share capital of the Company immediately after Completion.

The interests of the existing public Shareholders will be diluted from approximately 36.27% to approximately 3.35% immediately upon the allotment and issuance of the Consideration Shares under the Acquisitions on Completion. The level of dilution to the existing public Shareholders is significant.

We noted that (i) the Target Group has just commenced commercial operation of its first production facilities in the last quarter of 2007 and recorded profit for one financial year; (ii) the Acquisitions would increase the net current liabilities and the gearing of the Enlarged Group if the Enlarged Group cannot raise funds from equity financing to repay the Secured Notes and the bank borrowings arising from the Acquisitions

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

after Completion and; (iii) the Group’s proposed acquisition of the Target Group will extend the business risk of the Enlarged Group as set out under the “Risk factors” section below. However, having considered that:

  • (i) the Acquisitions provide an opportunity for the Group to gain access to solar energy technology, which will enable the Group to further develop its operations in the renewable energy industry,

  • (ii) the optimistic prospects of the global solar industry in long-term as mentioned in the section headed “Overview of the global solar industry” above,

  • (iii) the Total Consideration and the settlement method which we consider fair and reasonable as mentioned in the section headed “Principal terms of the Acquisition Agreements” above,

  • (iv) the Acquisitions allow the Group to acquire the Target Group, which has a net asset of approximately RMB2,307.3 million as at 31 December 2008 and recorded net profit of approximately RMB2,232.6 million for the year ended 31 December 2008, without any cash outlay, which will contribute to the revenue base and profitability of the Enlarged Group after Completion as mentioned under the paragraphs headed “Financial effects of the Acquisitions on the Group” below,

  • (v) the Independent Shareholders will participate in a much larger business after Completion which would enhance the earnings per Share of the Enlarged Group, and

  • (vi) the internal resources of the Group are not sufficient to satisfy amount of the Total Consideration, where the current structure allows the Group to finance the Acquisitions partly by the Consideration Shares and the Secured Notes,

on balance, we are of the view that the level of dilution is acceptable.

  • (ii) Financial effects of the Acquisitions on the Group

  • (a) Earnings

Upon Completion, the Target Group will become wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company and their results will be consolidated into the financial statements of the Enlarged Group. In view of the profitable track record of the Target Group for the year ended 31 December 2008, the Target Group is expected to contribute to the revenue and earnings of the Enlarged Group after Completion.

– 76 –

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

As disclosed in the unaudited pro forma financial information of the Enlarged Group contained in Appendix V to the Circular, assuming the acquisition of 100% equity interest of GCL Solar was completed as at 1 January 2008, the acquisition of 20% and 16% equity interests in Jiangsu Zhongneng through the acquisition of 100% equity interests in Sun Wave and Greatest Joy were completed in April 2008 and May 2008, respectively, the profit attributable to the Shareholders of the Enlarged Group for the year ended 31 December 2008 would be improved from profit of approximately RMB131.3 million to approximately RMB1,646.7 million, which is principally attributable to the profit contributed by the Target Group A of approximately RMB2,232.6 million less the pro forma finance costs arising from the issuance of the Secured Notes and the loan facilities of US$300 million to be obtained by GCL Solar or its subsidiaries prior to or upon the Completion. Earnings per Share would increase from approximately RMB0.128 (based on the net profit attributable to the Shareholders for the year ended 31 December 2008 and 1,022,679,487 Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date) to approximately RMB0.149 (based on the unaudited pro forma net profit attributable to the Shareholders of the Enlarged Group and 11,062,452,214 Shares to be in issue upon Completion).

In addition, as mentioned in part (b) below, goodwill would be recognized in the consolidated balance sheet of the Enlarged Group as a result of the Acquisitions and will be subject to the annual impairment review in accordance with the accounting policies of the Enlarged Group. The goodwill would not have any material impact on the Enlarged Group’s earnings unless impairment loss is required to be recognized.

(b) Net asset value

As at 31 December 2008, the Group had net current liabilities of approximately RMB1,134.6 million. According to the unaudited pro forma financial information of the Enlarged Group contained in Appendix V to the Circular, the net current liabilities of the Enlarged Group would increase to approximately RMB2,064.1 million assuming Completion had taken place on 31 December 2008, which is mainly attributable to the issue of the Secured Notes as a result of the Acquisitions. As set out in the letter from the Board in the Circular, depending on market conditions, the Group may also carry out future fund raising exercises of the Company by issuing the Additional Shares to raise capital, the proceeds of which will be used for repayment of the Secured Notes and US$300 million bank borrowings arising from the Acquisitions. If the completion of the above fund raising exercises to repay the Secured Notes is successful, the net current liabilities position of the Enlarged Group are expected to improve.

According to the unaudited pro forma financial information of the Enlarged Group contained in Appendix V to the Circular, net assets attributable to the Shareholders of the Enlarged Group would increase significantly from approximately RMB2,415.8 million to approximately

– 77 –

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

RMB7,787.9 million assuming Completion had taken place on 31 December 2008. The above increase is mainly due to the goodwill arising from the Acquisitions (being the surplus of the Total Consideration over the estimated fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities of the Target Group), the consolidation of the net assets of the Target Group, and the issuance of the Secured Notes. Net asset value per Share would be decreased from approximately RMB2.36 (based on the net assets attributable to the Shareholders as at 31 December 2008 and 1,022,679,487 Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date) to approximately RMB0.70 (based on the unaudited pro forma net assets attributable to the Shareholders of the Enlarged Group and 11,062,452,214 Shares to be in issue upon Completion) as the issue price for the Consideration Shares is assumed to be HK$0.61 (the market price of the Shares as at 31 December 2008) for the preparation of the unaudited pro forma financial information of the Enlarged Group, which is lower than the net asset value per Share before the Completion.

The actual amount of goodwill that arises from the Acquisitions would be determined on the date of Completion. Since the fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities of the Target Group at Completion may be substantially different from the estimates used for the purpose of preparation of the unaudited pro forma financial information, the actual goodwill arising from the Acquisitions may be different from the estimated goodwill. The amount of goodwill will be maintained in the consolidated balance sheet of the Enlarged Group and subject to regular impairment assessment. Any impairment loss would be recognised as an expense in the Enlarged Group’s consolidated income statement.

(c) Gearing and working capital

The Total Consideration will be satisfied by the issuance of the Consideration Shares and the Secured Notes, and the payment of cash of US$200 million. Pursuant to the terms of the Acquisition Agreements, GCL Solar or its subsidiaries have to make available US$200 million from part of the funds to be borrowed to the Company prior to or upon the Completion, which can be used by the Company to finance the cash portion of the Total Consideration. Accordingly, the Acquisitions would not result in net cash outflow to the Group.

The Group’s gearing ratio (being total borrowings divided by equity attributable to Shareholders plus total borrowings) as at 31 December 2008 was 57.4%. After the Completion, the total borrowings will be increased from approximately RMB3,249.2 million to approximately RMB11,224.8 million, the gearing ratio of the Enlarged Group as calculated on the basis of the pro forma financial information as contained in Appendix V to the Circular will only increase to approximately 59.0% as the equity attributable to the Shareholders will also increase from approximately RMB2,415.8 million to approximately RMB7,787.9 million.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

The aforesaid pro forma statement is prepared based on the historical financials of the Target Group. As the operations, location and jurisdiction of the Target Group business differ from that of the existing business of the Group, there is no assurance that the performance of the Enlarged Group thereafter would be similar to those historical figures as reported in the pro forma financial statements as set out in Appendix V to the Circular.

8. Whitewash Waiver

Immediately following completion of the Acquisitions and assuming that no further Shares will be issued by the Company prior to the allotment and issuance of the Consideration Shares upon Completion, the shareholding of Mr. Zhu, his associates and parties acting in concert with any of them (namely Mandra Materials, Mandra Esop, Mandra Silicon and Mr. Zhang Songyi) will increase from approximately 34.47% to approximately 56.17%. Under Rule 26.1 of the Takeovers Code, Mr. Zhu, his associates and parties acting in concert with any of them are required to make a mandatory general offer for all the issued Shares not already owned or agreed to be acquired by them immediately following Completion unless the Whitewash Waiver is obtained. In this regard, Mr. Zhu has made an application to the Executive for the Whitewash Waiver, which is subject to, among other things, the approval of the Independent Shareholders on a vote by poll at the EGM.

Shareholders should note that after Completion of the Acquisitions, the Combined Concert Group will hold more than 50% of the issued share capital of the Company. As such, any further acquisition of interest in the Company by the Combined Concert Group may not be subject to the obligation to make a general offer under the Takeovers Code. Given that the individual members of the Combined Concert Group will hold less than 50% of the issued share capital of the Company, any further acquisition of Shares by any of them may trigger an obligation to make a mandatory general offer under Rule 26.1 of the Takeovers Code, unless a waiver from the Executive is granted.

As the Acquisitions are conditional upon, among other things, the approval of the Whitewash Waiver by the Independent Shareholders at the EGM, if the Whitewash Waiver is not approved, the Acquisitions will not proceed and no general offer obligation will be triggered. In the event the Acquisitions cannot proceed, the Group and the Shareholders will not be able to enjoy the benefits that would arise from the Acquisitions as discussed above.

9. Specific mandate for the New Issue

  • (i) Reasons for and benefits of the specific mandate for the New Issue

At the annual general meeting of the Company (“AGM”) held on 30 May 2008, a general mandate (the “Issue Mandate”) was given to the Directors to allot, issue and deal with additional Shares not exceeding 20% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date of the AGM. As at the date of the AGM, 972,679,487 Shares were in issue and accordingly, a maximum of 194,535,897 Shares can be issued under the Issue Mandate assuming no Shares are repurchased by the Company. On 3 June

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

2009, the Placing had been completed and a total of 50,000,000 Shares were issued and allotted under the Issue Mandate. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Issue Mandate has not been utilized since it was granted and the number of Shares allowed to be issued under the Issue Mandate is 144,535,897 Shares.

Pursuant to the terms of the Acquisition Agreements, the Secured Notes will be issued by the Company and US$300 million bank borrowings will be raised by the Enlarged Group upon Completion. As set out in the letter from the Board in the Circular, depending on market conditions, the Group may carry out future fund raising exercises by issuing the Additional Shares to raise capital, the proceeds of which will be used for repayment of the Secured Notes and US$300 million bank borrowings arising from the Acquisitions.

After Completion, the issued share capital of the Company will increase from 1,022,679,487 Shares to 11,062,452,214 Shares. The number of Shares allowed to be issued under the Issue Mandate may not be sufficient for the Group to raise fund to finance repayment of the Secured Notes and US$300 million bank borrowings arising from the Acquisitions. Accordingly, the specific mandate for the New Issue is therefore sought to authorise the Directors to allot and issue the Additional Shares.

After Completion, the Enlarged Group will be subject to the interest expenses related to the Secured Notes and the US$300 million bank borrowings to be obtained. Given the Secured Notes do not charge any premium for early repayment, the early repayment of the Secured Notes and the US$300 million bank borrowings will save interest costs of the Enlarged Group. The specific mandate for the New Issue provides the Enlarged Group flexibility for issuing Additional Shares and using the proceeds to repay the Secured Notes and US$300 million bank borrowings in appropriate time.

The management of the Group advised us that the Group will also consider other financing alternatives such as debt financing and bank borrowings. However, the appropriateness of such alternatives depends on the Enlarged Group’s profitability, financing position, cost of funding and the prevailing market condition. In addition, these alternatives may be subject to lengthy due diligence and negotiation. We consider that it is reasonable to make reference to the then financial position of the Enlarged Group in order to decide on the appropriate financing alternatives to repay the Secured Notes and US$300 million bank borrowings. The Directors advised us that they would exercise due and careful consideration when choosing the best method of financing.

We consider that the specific mandate for the New Issue will provide the Company with an additional financing alternative after the Completion and it is reasonable for the Company to have the flexibility in deciding the efficient use of its funds. Based on the above, we are of the view that the specific mandate for the New Issue is in the interests of the Company and the Independent Shareholders as a whole. In addition, since the proceeds raised from the New Issue will be used to repay the Secured Notes and US$300 million bank borrowings arising from the Acquisitions, if Completion does not take place, the New Issue will not be carried out.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

(ii) Terms and conditions of the specific mandate for the New Issue

(a) Number of Additional Shares

The maximum number of Additional Shares which may be issued and allotted pursuant to the New Issue is 2,212,490,442 Shares, representing 20% of the total number of issued Shares as enlarged by the issue of the Consideration Shares.

(b) Expiry date

The specific mandate for the New Issue will lapse on the date falling six months after the passing of the ordinary resolution to approve the specific mandate for the New Issue at the EGM, the Directors can allot and issue all or some of the Additional Shares at any time and from time to time before the lapse of the specific mandate for the New Issue.

(c) Issue price of Additional Shares

The issue price of the Additional Shares which may be issued and allotted pursuant to the New Issue will be determined by reference to the prevailing price of the Shares at the time of offering and relevant market considerations, and in any event will not represent a discount of 20% or more to the benchmark price (as set out in Rule 13.36(5) of the Listing Rules) of the Shares.

(d) Restriction on offerees of the Additional Shares

The Additional Shares which may be issued and allotted pursuant to the New Issue can only be offered to investors who are independent of and not connected with the Company and the Directors, chief executive and substantial shareholder of the Company and its subsidiaries and/or any of their respective associates or any connected persons.

We noted that the terms and conditions of the specific mandate for the New Issue impose certain restrictions on the Company to allot and issue the Additional Shares by (i) setting the maximum number of Additional Shares can be allotted and issued where the percentage of which is comparable to the general mandate to allot and issue Shares at the annual general meeting of the Company; (ii) limiting the period of the specific mandate for the New Issue and the issue price of the Additional Shares; and (iii) in particular, restricting the Additional Shares to be allotted and issued only to independent third parties, we consider that the terms thereof are fair and reasonable.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

(iii) Financial effects of the New Issue to the Enlarged Group

(a) Earnings

Given the proceeds raised from the New Issue will be used to repay the Secured Notes and US$300 million bank borrowings of the Enlarged Group arising from the Acquisitions, the interest expenses of the Enlarged Group for the Secured Notes and US$300 million bank borrowings will decrease after the Secured Notes and US$300 million bank borrowings is repaid and will contribute to the earnings of the Enlarged Group.

(b) Net asset value

Since the proceeds raised from the New Issue will be used to repay the Secured Notes and US$300 million bank borrowings of the Enlarged Group arising from the Acquisitions, the New Issue is not expected to have material effects on the net asset value of the Enlarged Group.

(c) Gearing and working capital

After the proceeds raised from the New Issue are used to repay the Secured Notes and US$300 million bank borrowings arising from the Acquisitions, the total borrowings and the gearing of the Enlarged Group is expected to decrease. As the funds raised from the New Issue will be used to repay the Secured Notes and US$300 million bank borrowings from the Acquisitions, the New Issue is not expected to have any material cash flow effects on the Enlarged Group.

(iv) Potential dilution to Independent Shareholders’ shareholding

The maximum number of Additional Shares which may be allotted and issued pursuant to the New Issue is 2,212,490,442 Shares, representing 20% of the total number of issued Shares as enlarged by the issue of the Consideration Shares. Assuming full utilization of the specific mandate for the New Issue and no further Shares are issued or repurchased by the Company following the Completion, the aggregate shareholding of the existing public Shareholders will be further diluted from approximately 3.35% immediately after Completion as set out in the section headed “Effects of the Acquisitions” above to approximately 2.79%.

Taking into account the benefits of the specific mandate for the New Issue as discussed above and all the Shareholders immediately after the completion of the New Issue will be diluted proportionately, we consider the above potential dilution of shareholding of the existing public Shareholders to be acceptable.

In summary, given (i) the specific mandate for the New Issue will provide an additional financing alternative to the Enlarged Group to repay the Secured Notes and the US$300 million bank borrowings arising from the Acquisitions within the six months

– 82 –

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

period; (ii) the Additional Shares will only be offered to independent third parties with the issue price will not represent a discount of 20% or more to the benchmark price of the Shares as set out in Rule 13.36(5) of the Listing Rules; (iii) the proceeds raised from the New Issue will be used to repay the Secured Notes and US$300 million bank borrowings arising from the Acquisitions, which will decrease the interest expenses and gearing of the Enlarged Group; and (iv) all the Shareholders will be diluted proportionately, we are of the view that the terms of the specific mandate for the New Issue are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

RECOMMENDATION

Having considered the above-mentioned principal factors and reasons, in particular,

  • (i) the Acquisitions provide an opportunity for the Group to gain access to solar energy technology, which will enable the Group to further develop its operations in the renewable energy industry, and would facilitate the Group’s entrance to the solar energy power plant operation business;

  • (ii) the optimistic prospects of the global solar industry in long-term;

  • (iii) the P/E Ratio of the Target Group represented by the Total Consideration is within the range of the P/E Ratios of the Comparable Companies;

  • (iv) the settlement method of the Total Consideration enables the Group to complete the Acquisitions without any immediate cash outlay and provides flexibility for the Group to repay the principal amount of the Secured Notes;

  • (v) given the general thin trading volume of the Shares, the Issue Price is above the historical Share price for most of the Period and the placing price of HK$1.55 per Share under the independent Placing just completed on 3 June 2009;

  • (vi) the Target Group is expected to contribute to the revenue and earnings of the Enlarged Group after Completion given the first profitable track record of the Target Group for the year ended 31 December 2008 as mentioned under the section headed “Financial effects of the Acquisitions on the Group” above;

  • (vii) the acceptable dilution effect to the Independent Shareholders given the Independent Shareholders will participate in a much larger business and the Acquisitions would improve the earnings per Share of the Enlarged Group after Completion; and

  • (viii) the specific mandate for the New Issue will provide an additional financing alternative to the Enlarged Group to repay the Secured Notes and the US$300 million bank borrowings with reasonable terms,

– 83 –

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

we consider that the Acquisition Agreements are on normal commercial terms, and the terms of the Acquisition Agreements, the specific mandate for the New Issue and the Whitewash Waiver are fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned; and the entering into of the Acquisition Agreements and the granting of the specific mandate for the New Issue and the Whitewash Waiver are in the interests of the Group and the Shareholders as a whole.

Based on the above analysis, we therefore recommend the Independent Board Committee to advise the Independent Shareholders to vote in favour of the resolutions relating to the Acquisitions, the specific mandate for the New Issue and the Whitewash Waiver, at the EGM. We also recommend the Independent Shareholders to vote in favour of the resolutions in relation to the Acquisitions, the specific mandate for the New Issue and the Whitewash Waiver at the EGM.

Yours faithfully, For and on behalf of

First Shanghai Capital Limited

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

Notes:

  • (a) Capital reserve represents the excess of the net assets of subsidiaries acquired by the Company under the group reorganisation over consideration paid.

  • (b) Other reserves represent the aggregate amount of reserve fund and enterprise development fund.

Pursuant to a Board resolution of each relevant subsidiary established in the PRC, the subsidiary is required to transfer 3% of its profit after tax as per statutory financial statements (as determined by the management of the subsidiary) to the reserve fund until the fund balance reaches 50% of the registered capital of the subsidiary. The transfer to this fund must be made before distributing dividends to shareholders. The fund can be used to make up for previous years’ losses or, expand the existing operations or can be converted into additional capital of the subsidiary.

Pursuant to a Board resolution of each relevant subsidiary established in the PRC, the subsidiary is required to transfer 2% of its profit after tax as per statutory financial statements (as determined by the management of the subsidiary) to the enterprise development fund. The fund can only be used for development and is not available for distribution to shareholders.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the year ended 31 December 2008

1. GENERAL INFORMATION

The Company is an exempted company with limited liability incorporated in the Cayman Islands on 12 July 2006 under the Companies Law, Cap 22 of the Cayman Islands. The shares of the Company are listed on the Main Board of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the “Stock Exchange”) on 13 November 2007. The address of the registered office of the Company is at Cricket Square, Hutchins Drive, PO Box 2681, Grand Cayman, KY1-1111, Cayman Islands and the principal place of business is at Suite 3601-3604, Two Exchange Square, 8 Connaught Road Central, Hong Kong.

The Company is an investment holding company. The principal activities of its subsidiaries and associates are development, construction, management and operation of cogeneration and power plants and trading of coal in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”).

Change of Presentation Currency

The directors considered Renminbi (“RMB”) as the functional currency of the group entities as the principal operations of the Company and its subsidiaries (the “Group”) are conducting businesses in the PRC in which those transactions are predominantly denominated in RMB. The Group used Hong Kong Dollars (“HK$”) as the presentation currency for the convenience of the readers. During the year ended 31 December 2008, the Group implemented a new ERP accounting system and the directors considered it is more appropriate and convenient to use RMB as both the functional and presentation currency on the financial reporting for the Company. As a result, the comparative figures have been restated and resulted in the decrease of exchange reserve of approximately HK$76,892,000 for the year ended 31 December 2007.

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The Group finance its capital intensive operations by short-term and long-term bank borrowings and shareholders’ equity. It had net current liabilities of approximately RMB1,134,638,000 as at 31 December 2008 with short-term bank borrowings of approximately RMB1,267,163,000 which will be matured in 2009. The directors of the Company believe those short-term bank borrowings could be renewed on an annual basis at the discretion of the Company within the limit approved by banks.

As at the reporting date, the Group has renewed short-term bank borrowings of approximately RMB151,500,000 with banks and with corresponding maturity dates extended to 2010. Further, subsequent to year end, the Group has obtained direct confirmations from certain banks which stated that they do not foresee any reasons to withdraw in the foreseeable future the existing facilities of the above mentioned short- term bank borrowings in the aggregate amount of RMB1,093,663,000 and expect to renew the relevant loan facilities with similar terms upon maturity. The Group has obtained additional banking facilities of approximately RMB120,000,000 from banks for operating use subsequent to year end.

The directors of the Company are of the opinion that, taking into account the presently available banking facilities and internal financial resources of the Group, the Group has sufficient working capital for its present requirements within one year from the balance sheet date. Hence, the consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

3. APPLICATION OF NEW AND REVISED INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS (“IFRSs”)

IFRSs (Amendments) Improvements to IFRSs[1] IAS 1 (Revised) Presentation of Financial Statements[2] IAS 23 (Revised) Borrowing Costs[2] IAS 27 (Revised) Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements[3] IAS 32 & 1 Puttable Financial Instruments and Obligations Arising on (Amendments) Liquidation[2] IAS 39 (Amendment) Eligible Hedged Items[3] IFRS 1 & IAS 27 Cost of an Investment in a Subsidiary, Jointly Controlled Entity or (Amendments) Associate[2] IFRS 2 (Amendment) Vesting Conditions and Cancellation[2] IFRS 3 (Revised) Business Combination[3] IFRS 7 (Amendment) Improving Disclosures about Financial Instruments[2] IFRS 8 Operating Segments[2] IFRIC 9 & IAS 39 Embedded Derivatives[4] (Amendments) IFRIC 13 Customer Loyalty Programmes[5] IFRIC 15 Agreements for the Construction of Real Estate[2] IFRIC 16 Hedges of a Net Investment in a Foreign Operation[6] IFRIC 17 Distributions of Non-cash Assets to Owners[3] IFRIC 18 Transfer of Assets from Customers[7]

  • 1 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2009 except the amendments to IFRS 5, effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2009

  • 2 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2009 3 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2009

  • 5 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2008

  • 6 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 October 2008

  • 7 Effective for transfers on or after 1 July 2009

IAS 27 (revised) will affect the accounting treatment on changes to the Group’s ownership interest in a subsidiary. The directors of the Company anticipate that the application of the other new and revised standards, amendments or interpretations will have no material impact on the results and the financial position of the Group.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost basis except for certain financial instruments, which were measured at fair values, as explained in the accounting policies set out below.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards. In addition, the consolidated financial statements include applicable disclosures required by the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on the Stock Exchange and by the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance.

Control is achieved where the Company has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities.

The results of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the year are consolidated or deconsolidated respectively in the consolidated income statement from the effective date of acquisition or up to the effective date of disposal, as appropriate.

Where necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into line with those used by other members of the Group.

All intra-group transactions, balances, income and expenses are eliminated on consolidation.

Minority interests in the net assets of consolidated subsidiaries are presented separately from the Group’s equity therein. Minority interests in the net assets consist of the amount of those interests as at the date of the original business combination and the minority’s share of changes in equity since the date of the combination. Losses applicable to the minority in excess of the minority’s interest in the subsidiary’s equity are allocated against the interests of the Group except to the extent that the minority has a binding obligation and is able to make an additional investment to cover the losses.

Business combination involving entities under common control

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements items of the combining entities or businesses in which the common control combination occurs as if they had been combined from the date when the combining entities or businesses first came under the control of the controlling party.

The net assets of the combining entities or businesses are consolidated using the existing book values from the controlling parties’ perspective. No amount is recognised in respect of goodwill or excess of acquirer’s interest in the net fair value of acquiree’s identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities over cost at the time of common control combination, to the extent of the continuation of the controlling party’s interest.

The consolidated income statement includes the results of each of the combining entities or businesses from the earliest date presented or since the date when the combining entities or businesses first came under the common control, where this is a shorter period, regardless of the date of the common control combination.

The comparative amounts in the consolidated financial statements are presented as if the entities or businesses had been combined when they first came under common control.

APPENDIX I

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

Business combination other than entities under common control

The acquisition of businesses is accounted for using the purchase method. The cost of the acquisition is measured at the aggregate of the fair values, at the date of exchange, of assets given, liabilities incurred or assumed, and equity instruments issued by the Group in exchange for control of the acquiree, plus any costs directly attributable to the business combination. The acquiree’s identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities that meet the conditions for recognition under IFRS 3 “Business Combinations” are recognised at their fair values at the acquisition date.

Goodwill arising on acquisition is recognised as an asset and initially measured at cost, being the excess of the cost of the business combination over the Group’s interest in the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities recognised. If, after reassessment, the Group’s interest in the net fair value of the acquiree’s identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities exceeds the cost of the business combination, the excess is recognised immediately in profit or loss, whereas the acquisition from the equity holders of the Company, the excess is recognised in equity.

The interest of minority shareholders in the acquiree is initially measured at the minority’s proportion of the net fair value of the assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities recognised.

Business combination achieved in stages

When a business combination involves more than one exchange transaction, each exchange transaction is treated separately by the acquirer, using the cost of the transaction and fair value information at the date of each exchange transaction, to determine the amount of any goodwill associated with that transaction. The acquiree’s net assets are stated at fair value at the date of acquisition when control is achieved. Any adjustment to those fair values relating to previously held interests (including but not limited to interests which were equity accounted under IAS 28 “Investments in Associates”) of the acquirer is a revaluation and is accounted for as an adjustment directly in equity.

Goodwill

Goodwill arising on an acquisition of a business for which the agreement date is on or after 1 January 2005 represents the excess of the cost of acquisition over the Group’s interest in the fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the relevant business at the date of acquisition. Such goodwill is carried at cost less any accumulated impairment losses.

Capitalised goodwill arising on an acquisition of a business is presented separately in the consolidated balance sheet.

For the purposes of impairment testing, goodwill arising from an acquisition is allocated to each of the relevant cash-generating units, or groups of cash-generating units, that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the acquisition. A cash-generating unit to which goodwill has been allocated is tested for impairment annually, and whenever there is an indication that the unit may be impaired. For goodwill arising on an acquisition in a financial year, the cash-generating unit to which goodwill has been allocated is tested for impairment before the end of that financial year. When the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit is less than the carrying amount of the unit, the impairment loss is allocated to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the unit first, and then to the other assets of the unit pro rata on the basis of the carrying amount of each asset in the unit. Any impairment loss for goodwill is recognised directly in the consolidated income statement. An impairment loss for goodwill is not reversed in subsequent periods.

On subsequent disposal of the business, the attributable amount of goodwill capitalised is included in the determination of the amount of profit or loss on disposal.

APPENDIX I

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

Investments in associates

An associate is an entity over which the investor has significant influence and that is neither a subsidiary nor an interest in a joint venture.

The results and assets and liabilities of associates are incorporated in the consolidated financial statements using the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method, investments in associates are carried in the consolidated balance sheet at cost as adjusted for pre-acquisition dividends and post-acquisition changes in the Group’s share of the net assets of the associates, less any identified impairment loss. When the Group’s share of losses of an associate equal or exceeds the Group’s interest in that associate, the Group discontinues recognising its share of further losses. An additional share of losses is provided for and a liability is recognised only to the extent that the Group has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of that associate.

Any excess of the cost of acquisition over the Group’s share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the associate recognised at the date of acquisition is recognised as goodwill. The goodwill is included within the carrying amount of the investment and is assessed for impairment as part of the investment.

Any excess of the Group’s share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities over the cost of acquisition, after reassessment, is recognised immediately in profit or loss, whereas the acquisition from the equity holders of the Company, the excess is recognised in equity.

Where a group entity transacts with an associate of the Group, profits and losses are eliminated to the extent of the Group’s interest in the relevant associate.

Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment other than construction in progress are stated at cost less subsequent accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.

Depreciation is charged to write off the cost of items of property, plant and equipment, other than construction in progress, over their estimated useful lives and after taking into account their estimated residual value, using the straight line method.

Construction in progress represents property, plant and equipment in the course of construction for production or for its own use purposes. Construction in progress is carried at cost less any recognised impairment loss. Construction in progress is classified to the appropriate category of property, plant and equipment when completed and ready for intended use. Depreciation of these assets, on the same basis as other property assets, commences when the assets are ready for their intended use.

An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the item) is included in the consolidated income statement in the year in which the item is derecognised.

Prepaid lease payments

Payment for obtaining land use rights is accounted for as prepaid lease payments and is charged to the consolidated income statement on a straight line basis over the lease terms as stated in the relevant land use right certificates granted for usage by the Group in the PRC and the remaining of operating licence of the PRC entities, which ever is the shorter.

– I-15 –

APPENDIX I

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

Intangible assets

Intangible assets acquired in a business combination are identified and recognised separately from goodwill when they satisfy the definition of an intangible asset and their fair values can be measured reliably. The cost of such intangible assets is their fair value at the acquisition date.

Subsequent to initial recognition, intangible assets with finite useful lives are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses. Amortisation for intangible assets with finite useful lives is provided on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. Alternatively, intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are carried at cost less any subsequent accumulated impairment losses (see the accounting policy in respect of impairment losses on tangible and intangible assets below).

Impairment losses on tangible and intangible assets other than goodwill

At each balance sheet date, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised as an expense immediately.

Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised as income immediately.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is calculated using the weighted average cost method.

Revenue recognition

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable and represents amounts receivable for goods sold and services provided in the normal course of business, net of discounts and sales related taxes.

Revenue from the sales of electricity is recognised when electricity has been delivered on grid and measured at tariff determined by the relevant local government authority.

Revenue from the sales of steam is recognised when steam has been delivered and measured at prices specified under the terms of the relevant contracts.

Sales of coal and scrap materials are recognised when the goods are delivered and title has passed.

Consultancy fee and management fee income are recognised when the services are provided.

Interest income from a financial asset is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the effective interest rate applicable, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to that asset’s net carrying amount.

Dividend income from investments is recognised when the shareholder’s rights to receive payments have been established.

Connection fee income in relation to transmission of steam is recognised on a straight line basis over the period of expected lives of steam transmission services with reference to the terms of the operating licence of the relevant entities.

– I-16 –

APPENDIX I

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

Deferred income

Deferred income represents connection fee income not yet recognised in relation to steam transmission services.

Leasing

Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee. All other leases are classified as operating leases.

The Group as lessor

Rental income from operating leases is recognised in the consolidated income statement on a straight line basis over the term of the relevant lease. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating and arranging an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The Group as lessee

Rentals payable under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease. Benefits received and receivable as an incentive to enter into an operating lease are recognised as a reduction of rental expense over the lease term on a straight-line basis.

Foreign currencies

The functional currency of the Company and its subsidiaries is RMB. The consolidated financial statements are also presented in RMB.

In preparing the financial statements of each individual group entity, transactions in currencies other than the functional currency of that entity (foreign currencies) are recorded in the respective functional currency (i.e. the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates) at the rates of exchange prevailing on the dates of the transactions. At each balance sheet date, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing on the balance sheet date. Non-monetary items carried at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing on the date when the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated.

Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items, and on the translation of monetary items, are recognised in profit or loss in the year in which they arise.

Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, are capitalised as part of the cost of those assets. Capitalisation of such borrowing costs ceases when the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale. Investment income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation.

All other borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss in the year in which they are incurred.

Government grants

Government grants are recognised as income over the periods necessary to match them with the related costs. Grants related to depreciable assets are presented as a deduction from the carrying amount of the relevant assets and are released to income over the useful lives of the assets. Grants related to expense items are recognised in the same period as those expenses are charged in the consolidated income statement and are reported separately as other income.

– I-17 –

APPENDIX I

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

Retirement benefit costs

Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit plans or state-managed retirement benefit schemes or the Mandatory Provident Fund Scheme are charged as an expense when employees have rendered services entitling them to the contributions.

Taxation

Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.

The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from profit as reported in the consolidated income statement because it excludes items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and it further excludes items that are never taxable or deductible. The Group’s liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.

Deferred tax is recognised on differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the consolidated financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit, and is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences and deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilised. Such assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from goodwill or from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of other assets and liabilities in a transaction which affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for taxable temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries and associates, except where the Group is able to control the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.

Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the liability is settled or the asset is realised. Deferred tax is charged or credited to profit or loss, except when it relates to items charged or credited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also dealt with in equity.

Financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised on the balance sheet when a group entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss) that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognised immediately in profit or loss.

Financial assets

The Group’s financial assets are classified into loans and receivables and available-for-sale financial assets.

– I-18 –

APPENDIX I

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

Effective interest method

The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset and of allocating interest income over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts (including all fees paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life of the financial asset, or, where appropriate, a shorter period.

Income is recognised on an effective interest basis for debt instruments.

Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. At each balance sheet date subsequent to initial recognition, loans and receivables (including trade and other receivables, amounts due from related companies, pledged bank deposits and bank balances) are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any identified impairment losses.

Available-for-sale financial assets

Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivatives that are either designated or not classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables or held-to-maturity investments.

At each balance sheet date subsequent to initial recognition, available-for-sale equity investments that do not have a quoted market price in an active market and whose fair value cannot be reliably measured and derivatives that are linked to and must be settled by delivery of such unquoted equity instruments, they are measured at cost less any identified impairment losses at each balance sheet date subsequent to initial recognition.

Impairment of financial assets

Financial assets are assessed for indicators of impairment at each balance sheet date. Financial assets are impaired where there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the financial asset, the estimated future cash flows of the financial assets have been affected.

For an available-for-sale equity investment, a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of that investment below its cost is considered to be objective evidence of impairment.

For all other financial assets, objective evidence of impairment could include:

  • significant financial difficulty of the issuer or counterparty; or

  • default or delinquency in interest or principal payments; or

  • it becoming probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or financial reorganisation.

For financial assets carried at amortised cost, an impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss when there is objective evidence that the asset is impaired, and is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the original effective interest rate.

For financial assets carried at cost, the amount of the impairment loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the current market rate of return for a similar financial asset. Such impairment loss will not be reversed in subsequent periods.

– I-19 –

APPENDIX I

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

The carrying amount of the financial asset is reduced by the impairment loss directly for all financial assets with the exception of trade and other receivables, where the carrying amount is reduced through the use of an allowance account. Changes in the carrying amount of the allowance account are recognised in profit or loss. When a trade and other receivable is considered uncollectible, it is written off against the allowance account. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited to profit or loss.

For financial assets measured at amortised cost, if, in a subsequent period, the amount of impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment losses was recognised, the previously recognised impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss to the extent that the carrying amount of the asset at the date the impairment is reversed does not exceed what the amortised cost would have been had the impairment not been recognised.

Financial liabilities and equity

Financial liabilities and equity instruments issued by a group entity are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.

An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the group after deducting all of its liabilities. The Group’s financial liabilities are generally classified into financial liabilities at fair value through profit and loss (“FVTPL”) and other financial liabilities.

Effective interest method

The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial liability and of allocating interest expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments through the expected life of the financial liability, or, where appropriate, a shorter period.

Interest expense is recognised on an effective interest basis other than those financial liability designated as at FVTPL, of which the interest expense is included in net gains or losses.

Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss

Convertible note of the Company was designated at FVTPL on initial recognition.

At each balance sheet date subsequent to initial recognition, financial liabilities at FVTPL were measured at fair value, with changes in fair value recognised directly in profit or loss in the period in which they arise. The net gain or loss recognised in profit or loss included any interest paid on the financial liabilities.

Convertible note

The convertible note of the Company consisted of the liability component and embedded derivatives (such as embedded conversion option, early redemption option and interest adjustment derivative). Conversion options that were not settled by the exchange of a fixed amount for a fixed number of the Company’s equity instrument was considered as embedded derivatives not closely related to the host contract (the liability component).

The Group elected to designate its convertible note with embedded derivatives as financial liabilities at FVTPL on initial recognition. At each balance sheet date subsequent to initial recognition, the entire convertible note was measured at fair value, with changes in fair value recognised directly in profit or loss in the year in which they arise.

Transaction costs that were directly attributable to the issue of the convertible note designated as financial liabilities at FVTPL were recognised immediately in profit or loss.

– I-20 –

APPENDIX I

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

Other financial liabilities

Other financial liabilities (including trade and other payables, amounts due to related parties and borrowings) are subsequently measured at amortised cost, using the effective interest method.

Equity instruments

Equity instruments issued by the Company are recorded at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.

Transaction costs of equity transaction

The transaction costs of an equity transaction are accounted for as a deduction from equity (net of any related income tax benefit) to the extent they are incremental costs directly attributable to the equity transaction that otherwise would have been avoided. The costs of an equity transaction that is abandoned are recognised as an expense.

Transaction costs related jointly to concurrent offering of some shares and listing of shares are allocated using a basis of allocation that is rational and consistent with similar transactions.

Derecognition

Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the assets expire or, the financial assets are transferred and the Group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial assets. On derecognition of a financial asset, the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable and the cumulative gain or loss that had been recognised directly in equity is recognised in profit or loss.

Financial liabilities are derecognised when the obligation specified in the relevant contract is discharged, cancelled or expired. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognised and the consideration paid and payable is recognised in profit or loss.

Share-based payment transactions

Equity-settled share-based payment transactions

Share options granted to employees

The fair value of services received determined by reference to the fair value of share options granted at the grant date is expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, with a corresponding increase in equity (share options reserve).

At each balance sheet date, the Group revises its estimates of the number of options that are expected to ultimately vest. The impact of the revision of the estimates during the vesting period, if any, is recognised in profit or loss, with a corresponding adjustment to share options reserve.

At the time when the share options are exercised, the amount previously recognised in share options reserve will be transferred to share premium. When the share options are forfeited after the vesting date or are still not exercised at the expiry date, the amount previously recognised in share options reserve will be transferred to retained profits.

5. KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY

The following are the key assumptions concerning the future, and key sources of estimation uncertainty at 31 December 2008, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of the assets and liabilities within the next financial year.

Useful lives and impairment of property, plant and equipment

The Group’s management determines the estimated useful lives and related depreciation charges for its property, plant and equipment. This estimate is based on the historical experience of the actual useful lives of property, plant and equipment of similar nature and functions. Management will increase the depreciation charge where useful lives are expected to be shorter than estimated, or it will write-off or write-down obsolete or non-strategic assets that have been abandoned or sold. As at 31 December 2008, the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment is RMB4,948,386,000 (2007: RMB4,657,533,000 restated).

Estimated impairment of trade and other receivables

Where there is objective evidence of impairment loss, the Group takes into consideration the estimation of future cash flows. The amount of the impairment loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows (excluding future credit losses that have not been incurred) discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate (i.e. the effective interest rate computed at initial recognition). Where the actual future cash flows are less than expected, a material impairment loss may arise. As at 31 December 2008, the carrying amount of trade and other receivables is RMB468,489,000 (2007: RMB546,793,000 restated), net of allowance for doubtful debts of RMB10,564,000 (2007: RMB5,770,000 restated).

Expected lives of steam transmission services in relation to the recognition of connection fee income

The Group’s management determines the estimated lives of steam transmission services in relation to the recognition of connection fee income with reference to the remaining terms of the operating licence of the relevant entities. This estimate is based on the historical experience with respect to the estimated useful lives of steam transmission services of similar nature and functions. Management will accelerate the recognition of connection fee income where the actual service periods of steam transmission are shorter than the estimated lives of steam transmission services. As at 31 December 2008, the carrying amount of deferred connection fee income is RMB74,510,000 (2007: RMB62,373,000, restated).

6. CAPITAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Group manages its capital to ensure that entities in the Group will be able to continue as a going concern while maximising the return to shareholders through the optimisation of the debt and equity balance. The Group’s overall strategy remains unchanged from prior year.

The capital structure of the Group consist of debts, which includes amounts due to related companies and borrowings, as disclosed in notes 26 and 28 respectively, net of bank balances and equity attributable to equity holders of the Company, comprising issued share capital and reserves.

The directors of the Company review the capital structure on a periodical basis. As a part of this review, the directors consider the cost of capital and the risks associated with each class of capital. Based on recommendations of the directors, the Group will balance its overall capital structure through the issue of new shares, new debts or the redemption of existing debts.

b. Financial risk management objectives and policies

The Group’s major financial instruments include trade and other receivables, trade and other payables, amounts due from (to) related companies, borrowings, pledged bank deposits and bank balances. Details of these financial instruments are disclosed in respective notes. The risks associated with these financial instruments includes market risk (interest rate risk and currency risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The policies on how to mitigate these risks are set out below. The management manages and monitors these exposures to ensure appropriate measures are implemented on a timely and effective manner.

Market risks

The Group’s activities expose it primarily to the financial risks of changes in interest rate risk and foreign currency rate risk. Market risk exposures are further measured by sensitivity analysis. There has been no change to the Group’s exposure to market risks or the manner in which it manages and measures the risk from 2007. Details of each type of market risks are described as follows:

(i) Interest rate risk

The Group is exposed to fair value interest rate risk in relation to fixed-rate pledged bank deposits and bank deposits and fixed-rate borrowings (see note 28 for details of these borrowings). The Group currently has not entered into interest rate swaps to hedge against its exposure to changes in fair values of the pledged bank deposits, bank deposits and borrowings.

The Group’s cash flow interest rate risk relates primarily to variable-rate borrowings (see note 28 for details of these borrowings) and bank balances. It is the Group’s policy to keep its borrowings at floating rate of interests so as to minimise the fair value interest rate risk.

It is the Group’s policy to maintain an appropriate level between its fixed-rate and variable- rate borrowings so as to minimise the fair value and cash flow interest rate risk. The Group’s exposures to interest rates on financial liabilities are detailed in the liquidity risk management section of this note.

– I-23 –

APPENDIX I

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

Sensitivity analysis

The sensitivity analysis have been determined based on the exposure to interest rates for variable-rate borrowings and bank balances at the balance sheet date. In the opinion of the directors, the variable-rate bank balances are not interest sensitive to the market risk, and accordingly, no such sensitivity analysis is presented. For variable-rate borrowings, the analysis is prepared assuming the variable-rate borrowings outstanding at the balance sheet date were outstanding throughout the year. A 50 basis point increase or decrease is used when reporting interest rate risk internally to key management personnel.

If interest rates had been 50 basis points higher/lower and all other variables were held constant, the Group’s profit for the year ended 31 December 2008 would decrease/increase by approximately RMB9,555,000 (2007: loss for the year increase/decrease by approximately RMB8,439,000, restated). This is mainly attributable to the Group’s exposure to interest rates on its variable-rate borrowings.

The Group’s sensitivity to interest rates has increased during the current year mainly due to the increase in variable-rate borrowings.

(ii)

Currency risk

The Group does not have significant exposure to foreign currency risk as majority of the Group’s operations are in the PRC and transactions are denominated in RMB which is the functional currency of the group entities except for certain bank balances denominated in Hong Kong dollars (“HK$”) and United States dollars (“US$”). The carrying amounts of the Group’s foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities at 31 December 2008 are as follows:

Assets Assets Liabilities Liabilities
2008 2007 2008 2007
RMB’000 RMB’000 RMB’000 RMB’000
(Restated) (Restated)
HK$ 2,175 48,994 2,818
US$ 33,133 306,447

As at 31 December 2007, part of the bank balances kept as bank deposits were the proceeds raised from IPO not yet utilised and were denominated in HK$ and United States Dollars (“US$”), which are not the functional currency of the relevant group entities and hence expose the Group to foreign currency risk.

Sensitivity analysis

This sensitivity analysis details the Group’s sensitivity to a 5% increase and decrease in RMB against the US$ and HK$. 5% is the sensitivity rate used when reporting foreign currency risk internally to key management personnel. The sensitivity analysis includes only outstanding foreign currency denominated monetary items and adjusts their translation at the year end for a 5% change in foreign currency rates. If RMB had strengthened/weakened 5% against HK$, the Group’s profit for the year ended 31 December 2008 would have increased/decreased by RMB32,000 (2007: loss for the year decreased/increased by RMB2,450,000, restated). If RMB had strengthened/weakened 5% against US$, the Group’s profit for the year ended 31 December 2008 would have decreased/increased by RMB1,656,000 (2007: loss for the year increased/decreased by RMB15,322,000, restated).

– I-24 –

APPENDIX I

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

The Group’s sensitivity to foreign currency has decreased during the current year mainly due to conversion of bank deposits from US$ and HK$ to RMB.

In the management’s opinion, the sensitivity analysis is unrepresentative of the inherent foreign exchange risk as the year end exposure does not reflect the exposure during the year.

Credit risk

As at 31 December 2008, the Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk which will cause a financial loss to the Group due to failure to discharge an obligation by the counterparties is arising from the carrying amount of the respective recognised financial assets as stated in the consolidated balance sheet.

In order to minimise the credit risk, the Group reviews the recoverable amount of each individual trade debt periodically to ensure that adequate impairment losses are made for irrecoverable amounts. In this regard, the directors of the Company consider that the Group’s credit risk is significantly reduced.

The Group has been dependent on the local electric power bureaus and a small number of steam customers for a substantial portion of its business. The local electric power bureaus accounted for a total of 57% (2007: 68%) of the Group’s trade receivables as at 31 December 2008. The failure of any of these customers to make required payments could have a substantial negative impact on the Group’s results. The management considers that the local electric power bureaus are state-owned and have strong financial ability and good creditability and accordingly, there is no significant credit risk.

The credit risk on liquid funds is limited because the counterparties are reputable banks in PRC and Hong Kong.

Liquidity risk

The Group has net current liabilities amounting to approximately RMB1,134,638,000 at 31 December 2008 (2007: RMB409,654,000, restated). The Group is exposed to liquidity risk of being unable to raise sufficient funds to meet its financial obligations when they fall due.

To manage the liquidity risk, the Group monitors and maintains a level of cash and cash equivalents considered adequate by the management to finance the Group’s operations and mitigate the effects of fluctuations in cash flows. In addition, the management monitors the utilisation of bank borrowings to ensure adequate unutilised banking facilities and compliance with loan covenants.

The Group relies on bank borrowings as a significant source of liquidity. As at 31 December 2008, the Group has borrowings of approximately RMB3,249,247,000 (2007: RMB3,479,687,000, restated). Details of which are set out in note 28.

As mentioned in note 2, the directors of the Company believe the short-term bank borrowings of approximately RMB1,267,163,000 could be renewed on an annual basis at the discretion of the Company within the limit approved by banks and accordingly they are satisfied that the Group will be able to meet in full its financial obligations as they fall due for the foreseeable future.

9. BUSINESS AND GEOGRAPHICAL SEGMENTS

Business segments

The Group is principally engaged in development, construction, management and operation of power plants and trading of coal in PRC.

After the initial public offering (“IPO”) in November 2007, the Group acquired 7 subsidiaries which composed of 6 cogeneration plants (fuelled by coal and other low heat value fuels) and a coal trading company. The Group also acquired 2 associates which are engaged in cogeneration plants fuelled by natural gas and coal and coal sludge respectively. Their performance and results were accounted into the financial statements of the Group since their respective dates of acquisitions. Besides, 2 cogeneration plants fuelled by biomass fuels were approved as biomass power plants by the PRC Government in November 2007.

For management purposes, the Group classified its business into five business segments in the current year. Two additional segments, namely biomass fuelled plants and coal trading were introduced in the current year as a result of the conversion of coal fuelled plants to biomass fuelled plants and the acquisitions set out above.

  1. Coal fuelled & resources comprehensive utilisation (“RCU”) plants: cogeneration plants fuelled by coal, gangue, coal sludge and other low heat value fuels.

  2. Gas fuelled plants: cogeneration plant mainly fuelled by natural gas.

  3. Biomass fuelled plants: cogeneration plants mainly fuelled by biomass materials.

  4. Coal trading: procurement and sales of coal for intra-group cogeneration plants and other external customers.

  5. Incineration plant & others: including a municipal solid waste incineration plant, a wind power plant (which is currently under construction) and other activities relating to the power plant industry.

The income tax (expense) credit for the year represents income tax in the PRC which is calculated at the prevailing tax rate on the taxable income of subsidiaries in the PRC.

Prior to 1 January 2008, pursuant to the then relevant laws and regulations in the PRC, foreign invested enterprises that were engaged in the energy industry, upon approval by the State Administration of Taxation, enjoyed a preferential enterprise income tax rate of 15% on the assessable profits. All PRC subsidiaries engaged in energy industry enjoyed this preferential tax rate. In addition, certain PRC subsidiaries were exempted from PRC Foreign Enterprise Income Tax (“FEIT”) for two years starting from their first profit making year and followed by a 50% reduction on the FEIT for the next three years.

In addition, some cogeneration plants within the Group were granted income tax deduction for procuring domestic power generation equipment.

On 16 March 2007, the PRC promulgated the Law of the PRC on Enterprise Income Tax (the “New Law”) by Order No. 63 of the President of the PRC. On 6 December 2007, the State Council of the PRC issued Implementation Regulation of the New Law. The New Law and Implementation Regulation have imposed a single income tax rate of 25% for all PRC enterprises with effect from 1 January 2008. According to the Circular of the State Council on the Implementation of Transitional Preferential Policies for Enterprise Income Tax (Guofa [2007] No.39), those entities that previously enjoyed tax incentive rate of 15% would have to increase their applicable tax rate progressively to 25% over a five-year transitional period. The tax exemption and deduction from FEIT for the foreign investment enterprises is still applicable until the end of the five-years transitional period under the New Law based on the revised income tax rate.

Tax rate of 18% (2007: 15%) is adopted for the tax reconciliation as such tax rate is applicable to most of the Group’s operation in the PRC for year ended 31 December 2008.

The subsidiaries located in other jurisdictions, have no assessable profits for the year.

No provision for Hong Kong Profits Tax has been made as the Group did not have any assessable profit arising in Hong Kong for the year.

The Group, which has subsidiaries that are tax resident in the PRC, is subject to the PRC dividend withholding tax of 5% or 10% for those non PRC resident immediately holdings company registered in Hong Kong and British Virgin Islands respectively, when and if undistributed earnings are declared to be paid as dividends commencing on 1 January 2008 to the extent those dividends are paid out of profits that arose on or after 1 January 2008. Accordingly, a provision for dividend withholding tax of RMB10,495,000 has been recognised for the year ended 31 December 2008.

APPENDIX I

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

Notes:

  • (a) On 13 November 2007, the Group acquired 29.4% interest on Funing Cogeneration Plant, resulting in a goodwill of RMB15,994,000 (see note 32(iii)). On 27 November 2007, the Group acquired additional 30.6% equity interest in Funing Cogeneration Plant from a company controlled by a shareholder of the Company at a cash consideration of approximately RMB26,633,000. The discount on acquisition of approximately RMB8,227,000 was credited directly to equity of the Group as a capital contribution from a shareholder.

Following the completion of acquisition, the Group holds 60% of the registered capital of Funing Cogeneration Plant. However, under the articles of association of Funing Cogeneration Plant, the Group can only appoint six out of eleven directors to the board of directors of Funing Cogeneration Plant, which is less than two-thirds majority which is required to pass financing and operating policies of Funing Cogeneration Plant. The directors of the Company consider that the Group does exercise significant influence over Funing Cogeneration Plant and it is therefore classified as an associate of the Group.

In 2008, the associate declared pre-acquisition dividend of approximately RMB321,000 which is set off against the cost of investment. Such dividend has not yet paid as at year end.

  • (b) In January 2008, the Group acquired 49% equity interest of China Resources Beijing Cogeneration Plant from a company controlled by a shareholder of the Company for a consideration of RMB145,988,000, including professional fee of RMB200,000. A discount on a acquisition of RMB915,000 has been credited directly to equity of the Group as a capital contribution from a shareholder.

Subsequent to the acquisition, the Group received pre-acquisition dividend of 2007 of approximately RMB 18,945,000 which is set off with the cost of investment for the year ended 31 December 2008.

The Group is able to exercise significant influence over China Resources Beijing Cogeneration Plant because it has the power to appoint three out of seven directors of that company.

For the purposes of impairment testing, goodwill have been allocated to individual cash generating units (“CGUs”), including four subsidiaries, namely Dongtai Suzhong Environmental Protection Co-generation Co., Ltd. (“Dongtai Cogeneration Plant”), Jia Xing Environmental Protection Cogen-Power Co., Ltd. (“Jiaxing Cogeneration Plant”), Peixian Mine-site Environmental Cogen-Power Co., Ltd. (“Peixian Cogeneration Plant”) and Xuzhou Baoxin Sludge Power Co., Ltd. (“Xuzhou Cogeneration Plant”) which are included in coal-fuelled or RCU cogeneration plants segment. The carrying amounts of goodwill allocated to these units are as follows:

During the year, the Group has not assessed the recoverable amount of goodwill allocated to Xuzhou Cogeneration Plant and directly recognized an impairment loss of RMB692,000 (2007: Nil) to that CGU as the amount involved is minimal. Other than above, the Group determines that the recoverable amounts exceed the carrying amounts of the remaining CGUs containing goodwill and therefore, no impairment has been recognised.

– I-40 –

APPENDIX I

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

The recoverable amounts of the remaining CGUs are determined by reference to a business valuation performed by Jones Lang LaSalle Sallmanns Limited, an independent and recognised international business valuer as at 31 December 2008 and 2007. The recoverable amounts of these CGUs have been determined based on value in use calculations. That calculation uses cash flow projections based on financial budgets approved by management covering a five-year period for Dongtai Cogeneration Plant, Peixian Cogeneration Plant and Jiaxing Cogeneration Plant at a discount rate of 13.93% (2007: 13.38%). No growth rate has been assumed beyond the five-year period up to the remaining operating licences of these CGUs. Other key assumptions for the value in use calculations relate to the estimation of cash inflows/outflows which include budgeted sales and gross margin. Such estimation is based on the unit’s past performance and management’s expectations for the market development. Management believes that any reasonably possible change in any of these assumptions would not cause the aggregate carrying amount of these CGUs to exceed the aggregate recoverable amount of these CGUs.

The unlisted equity investments represent investments in unlisted equity securities issued by private entities established in the PRC. They are measured at cost less impairment, if any, at the balance sheet date because the range of reasonable fair value estimates is so significant that the directors of the Company are of the opinion that their fair values cannot be measured reliably.

During the year, one of the investments is placed under liquidation. The Company has assessed for the impairment of such investment based on objective evidence, to the extent that the carrying amount exceeded the estimated net recoverable amount, an impairment loss of RMB2,968,000 (2007: Nil) has been recognised.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

Included in the Group’s trade receivables are debtors with a carrying amount of approximately RMB3,538,000 which are past due at 31 December 2008 (2007: RMB4,377,000, restated) for which the Group has not provided allowance for doubtful debts as there has not been a significant change in credit quality and the amounts are still considered recoverable.

In November 2006, the Company issued a convertible note for a principal amount of US$88,000,000 to an independent third-party, MS China 3 Limited (the “Note Holder”). 60% of the principal amount, representing US$52,800,000 (the “Convertible Amount”) was convertible and redeemable and the remaining 40% of the principal amount, representing US$35,200,000 (the “Loan Amount”) was redeemable but not convertible. The convertible note was denominated in United States dollars and was secured by certain equity interests of the Company’s subsidiaries and associates.

The initial conversion price was US$112.20 per share and the initial number of ordinary shares issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Amount was 470,588 (assuming a total of 1,000,000 ordinary shares issued and outstanding as of note issuance date), which should represent 32% of the total number of ordinary shares issued and outstanding as of the note issuance date on a fully diluted basis. The conversion price was subject to certain anti-dilution adjustments.

The fair value of the convertible note at the conversion date was determined based on the fair value of the shares issued and cash settled by the Company to the Note Holder, in aggregate of approximately US$150,999,000 (equivalent to approximately RMB1,123,661,000, restated).

Upon listing of the Company’s shares on 13 November 2007, all the Convertible Amount was automatically converted into 203,280,000 shares of the Company at a price of HK$4.1 each, amounting to approximately HK$833,448,000 (equivalent to approximately RMB795,143,000, restated) and all the Loan Amount was redeemed together with interest on the note, amounting to US$44,174,000 (equivalent to approximately RMB328,518,000, restated).

The increase in fair value of the convertible note of approximately US$50,999,000 (equivalent to approximately RMB339,738,000, restated) was recognised in the consolidated income statement for the year ended 31 December 2007.

Equity-settled share option scheme:

Pursuant to a written resolution of the sole shareholder on 22 October 2007, a share option scheme (“Pre-IPO Share Option Scheme”) was adopted by the Company. Pursuant to the Pre-IPO Share Option Scheme, the Company may grant options to the employees of the Company or of its subsidiaries to subscribe for shares of the Company.

The total number of shares may be issued upon the exercise of all options granted on 13 November 2007 under the Pre-IPO Share Option Scheme for directors and employees under continuous employment contract is 28,940,000 (2007: 31,260,000) shares representing approximately 3.0% (2007: 3.2%) of issued share capital of the Company at the balance sheet date. The estimated fair value of the options at the date of grant was approximately HK$1.7626 per share and exercise period from 13 November 2010 to 12 November 2017.

There was no movement on the number of share options granted under Pre-IPO Share Option Scheme between the date of grant to 31 December 2007. The following table discloses movement of the Company’s share option held by directors and employees during the year.

APPENDIX I

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

Note:

On or before 12 November 2010, no options granted to the directors and/or employees shall vest.

During the period from 13 November 2010 to 12 November 2011, a cumulative maximum of 20% of the share options granted to the directors and/or employees shall vest.

During the period from 13 November 2011 to 12 November 2012, a cumulative maximum of 50% of the share options granted to the directors and/or employees shall vest.

During the period from 13 November 2012 to 12 November 2013, a cumulative maximum of 100% of the share options granted to the directors and/or employees shall vest.

The fair value of the options has been estimated using the Binominal model. The inputs into the model are as follows:

2007
Market price HK$4.10
Exercise price HK$4.10
Expected volatility 44.68%
Expected life 3-5 years
Risk-free rate 3.47%
Expected dividend yield 1.50%

Expected volatility was determined by using the volatility of the stock return of comparable listed companies as at the valuation date. The expected life used in the model has been adjusted, based on management’s best estimate, for the effects of non transferability, exercise restrictions and behavioural considerations.

The Group recognised the total expense of RMB10,753,000 (2007: RMB2,100,000, restated) for the year ended 31 December 2008 in relation to share options granted by the Company.

Binomial model has been used to estimate the fair value of the options. The variables and assumptions used in computing the fair value of the share options are based on the directors’ best estimate. The value of an option varies with different variables of certain subjective assumptions.

37. RETIREMENT BENEFITS SCHEME

(a) The PRC

The Group’s full-time employees in the PRC are covered by a government sponsored defined contribution pension scheme, and are entitled to a monthly pension from their retirement dates. The PRC Government is responsible for the pension liability to these retired employees. The Group is required to make annual contributions to the retirement plan at a rate of 18% to 22% of employees’ salaries, which are charged to operations as an expense when the contributions are due.

Notes:

  • (a) Incentive subsidies were received from the relevant PRC Government to encourage the operations of certain PRC subsidiaries for the growth in supply of electricity and development of environmental friendly electricity generation. There were no specific conditions attached to the grants and, therefore, the Group recognised the grants upon receipt. The subsidies were granted on a discretionary basis to the Group during the year.

  • (b) During the years ended 31 December 2008 and 2007, the Group received refund of value-added tax from the relevant PRC Tax Authority for purchasing environmental friendly raw materials. They were granted if the total environmental friendly raw materials consumed represented more than 60% of total raw materials of PRC subsidiaries. There were no other specific conditions attached to the grants and, therefore, the Group recognised the grants upon receipt. The directors believe that the Group can continue maintaining the usage of environmental friendly materials. In addition, the Group received refund of value-added tax from local government to encourage the establishment of operation in that region.

  • (c) The refund of value-added tax on purchases of depreciable assets has been deducted from the carrying amount of the relevant assets. The amount is transferred to income in the form of reduced depreciation charges over the useful lives of the relevant assets. This policy has resulted in a reduction of depreciation charges by approximately RMB1,446,000 for the year ended 31 December 2008 (2007: RMB755,000, restated). As at 31 December 2008, an amount of approximately RMB61,638,000 (2007: RMB26,215,000, restated) remains to be amortised.

APPENDIX I

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

IV. WORKING CAPITAL

The Enlarged Group is in negotiations with certain banks for new banking facilities and/or may undertake private placing of the new Shares of the Company to finance the term loan and Secured Notes of US$300 million and US$350 million, respectively. Taking into consideration of new banking facilities obtained and/or the completion of the private placing of the new Shares of the Company as mentioned above, the Directors are of the opinion that, in the absence of unforeseeable circumstances and after taking into account the Enlarged Group’s current bank balances and financial resources, the Enlarged Group has sufficient working capital for its present requirements and for its requirements for the next twelve months from the date of this circular.

In any event, if the Enlarged Group is unable to successfully obtain the term loan, the Acquisitions would not be able to proceed to Completion due to the obtaining of the term loan being a condition precedent to Completion. The Directors also believe that without the availability of funds raised from the private placing of the new Shares of the Company, the Group would be able to find alternative sources of funding, such as rights issues and open offers. In addition, to the best belief of the Directors, the Group will be able to obtain additional banking facilities from various banks due to the Group’s good existing relationships with such banks. Furthermore, the Directors are confident that they are able to negotiate with the Holders to extend the maturity of the Secured Notes. Without the new banking facilities and the private placing of the new Shares of the Company, the Directors are of the opinion that the Enlarged Group has sufficient working capital for the next twelve months from the date of this circular.

ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT OF TARGET GROUP A

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. GENERAL

The Company is a private limited company incorporated in the Cayman Islands. The address of the registered office is Scotia Centre, 4th Floor, P.O. Box 2804, George Town, Grand Cayman KY1-1112, Cayman Islands, and the address of the principal place of business is Xuzhou City, Jiangsu Province, The People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”). In the opinion of the directors, its immediate holding company is Happy Genius Holdings Limited (“HG”), a company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands. Its ultimate holding company is Boulina Investments Limited, a company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands.

The Company is an investment holding company. The principal activities of the Group are manufacture and sale of polysilicon and related products.

The financial statements are presented in Renminbi (“RMB”), which is the same as the functional currency of the Company and its subsidiaries.

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

GCL Solar HK was incorporated by HG on 13 November 2006 and subsequently on 13 December 2006, GCL Solar HK acquired 64% equity interest in JZPTD and its wholly owned subsidiary Jiangsu Sunshine Jiangyuan Science and Technology Co., Ltd (“JSJST”) (note 39). GCL Solar HK together with JZPTD and JSTST hereinafter referred to as “Entities Under Common Control”. From December 2006 to April 2007, the sole shareholder of HG (“Sole Shareholder”) sold certain equity interest of HG to various independent third parties and the proceeds amounted to approximately RMB15,635,000 and RMB100,702,000 are contributed to the Group during 2006 and 2007, respectively. On 9 May 2007, the Company was incorporated by HG. Pursuant to a restructuring agreement entered on 21 August 2007, all the owners of GCL Solar HK exchanged their equity interest in GCL Solar HK for shares in the Company in proportion of their interest in GCL Solar HK. As a result, GCL Solar HK became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

The Entities Under Common Control were consolidated based on historical costs at which they were recorded in their respective books. Accordingly, the consolidated income statements, statements of changes in equity and cash flows statements include the results, changes in equity and cash flows of the Entities Under Common Control as if the current group structure had been in existence throughout the Relevant Periods, or since their respective dates of incorporation or establishment where this is a shorter period, or up to the date of disposal. The consolidated balance sheets of the Group as at 31 December 2006, 2007 and 2008 have been prepared to present the assets and liabilities of the Entities Under Common Control as at the respective dates. The Group has accounted for the Entities Under Common Control by using the principles of merger accounting as if the current group structure had been in existence at those dates.

3. APPLICATION OF INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS (“IFRS”)

For the purpose of preparing and presenting the Financial Information for the Relevant Periods, the Group adopted International Accounting Standards (“IASs”), IFRSs, amendments and interpretations issued by International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”) of the IASB that are effective for the Group’s financial year beginning on 1 January 2008 consistently for the Relevant Periods.

The application of IFRS 3 (Revised) may affect the Group’s accounting for business combination for which the acquisition date is on or after 1 January 2010. IAS 27 (Revised) will affect the accounting treatment for changes in Group’s ownership interest in a subsidiary. The directors of the Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, of the other new and revised standards, amendments or interpretations on the results and the financial position of the Group.

The Financial Information has been prepared on the historical cost basis except for certain financial instruments, which are measured at fair values, as explained in the accounting policies set out below.

The Financial Information has been prepared in accordance the following accounting policies which conform with IFRSs issued by the IASB. In addition, the Financial Information includes the applicable disclosure required by the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on the Stock Exchange and by the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance.

Basis of consolidation

Financial Information incorporates the financial statements of the Company and entities controlled by the Company (its subsidiaries). Control is achieved where the Company has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities.

– IIA-12 –

APPENDIX IIA

ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT OF TARGET GROUP A

The results of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the period/year are included in the consolidated income statement from the effective date of acquisition or up to the effective date of disposal, as appropriate.

Where necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies in line with those used by other members of the Group.

All intra-group transactions, balances, income and expenses are eliminated on consolidation.

On acquisition of additional interest in a subsidiary, the excess of the cost of acquisition over the carrying amount of assets and liabilities of the subsidiaries is recognised as goodwill.

Minority interests in the net assets of consolidated subsidiaries are presented separately from the Group’s equity therein. Minority interests in the net assets consist of the amount of those interests at the date of the original business combination and the minority’s share of changes in equity since the date of the combination. Losses applicable to the minority in excess of the minority’s interest in the subsidiary’s equity are allocated against the interests of the Group except to the extent that the minority has a binding obligation and is able to make an additional investment to cover the losses.

Business combinations

Business combination involving entities under common control

The Financial Information incorporates the financial statements items of the combining entities or businesses in which the common control combination occurs as if they had been combined from the date when the combining entities or businesses first came under the control of the controlling party.

The net assets of the combining entities or businesses are consolidated using the existing book values from the controlling parties’ perspective. No amount is recognised in respect of goodwill or excess of acquirer’s interest in the net fair value of acquiree’s identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities over cost at the time of common control combination, to the extent of the continuation of the controlling party’s interest.

The consolidated income statement includes the results of each of the combining entities or businesses from the earliest date presented or since the date when the combining entities or businesses first came under the common control, where this is a shorter period, regardless of the date of the common control combination.

Business combination other than entities under common control

The acquisition of businesses is accounted for using the purchase method. The cost of the acquisition is measured at the aggregate of the fair values, at the date of exchange, of assets given, liabilities incurred or assumed, and equity instruments issued by the Group in exchange for control of the acquiree, plus any costs directly attributable to the business combination. The acquiree’s identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities that meet the conditions for recognition under IFRS 3 “Business Combinations” are recognised at their fair values at the acquisition date.

Goodwill arising on acquisition is recognised as an asset and initially measured at cost, being the excess of the cost of the business combination over the Group’s interest in the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities recognised. If, after reassessment, the Group’s interest in the net fair value of the acquiree’s identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities exceeds the cost of the business combination, the excess is recognised immediately in profit or loss.

The interest of minority shareholders in the acquiree is initially measured at the minority’s proportion of the net fair value of the assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities recognised.

– IIA-13 –

APPENDIX IIA

ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT OF TARGET GROUP A

Goodwill

Goodwill arising on an acquisition of a business represents the excess of the cost of acquisition over the Group’s interest in the fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the relevant business at the date of acquisition. Such goodwill is carried at cost less any accumulated impairment losses.

Capitalised goodwill arising on an acquisition of a business is presented separately in the consolidated balance sheet.

For the purposes of impairment testing, goodwill arising from an acquisition is allocated to each of the relevant cash-generating units, or groups of cash-generating units, that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the acquisition. A cash-generating unit to which goodwill has been allocated is tested for impairment annually, and whenever there is an indication that the unit may be impaired. For goodwill arising on an acquisition in a financial year, the cash-generating unit to which goodwill has been allocated is tested for impairment before the end of that financial year. When the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit is less than the carrying amount of the unit, the impairment loss is allocated to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the unit first, and then to the other assets of the unit pro rata on the basis of the carrying amount of each asset in the unit. Any impairment loss for goodwill is recognised directly in the consolidated income statement. An impairment loss for goodwill is not reversed in subsequent periods.

On subsequent disposal of the relevant cash-generating unit, the attributable amount of goodwill capitalised is included in the determination of the amount of profit or loss on disposal.

Revenue recognition

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable and represents amounts receivable for goods sold and in the normal course of business, net of sales related taxes.

Revenue from sale of goods is recognised when the goods are delivered and title has passed.

Interest income from a financial asset is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the effective interest rate applicable, which is the rate that exactly discounts the estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to that asset’s net carrying amount on initial recognition.

Dividend income from investments is recognised when the shareholders’ rights to receive payments have been established.

Deferred revenue

The Group entered into long-term supply contracts for supply of goods with pre-determined volumes and prices. Under the contract terms, different pre-determined prices are billed to the customers over the contracts periods. Revenue under long-term contracts is recognised in the consolidated income statement based on the actual volumes sold and the weighted average prices over the contractual periods. Revenue relating to the difference between pre-determined prices and the weighted average prices is recognised as deferred revenue on the consolidated balance sheets.

Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment including buildings held for use in the production or supply of goods or services, or for administration purposes (other than construction in progress) are stated at cost less subsequent accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.

– IIA-14 –

APPENDIX IIA

ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT OF TARGET GROUP A

Depreciation is provided to write off the cost of items of property, plant and equipment other than construction in progress over their estimated useful lives and after taking into account of their estimated residual value, using the straight-line method, at the following rates per annum:

Buildings Over the shorter of lease terms or 5% Plant and machinery 6[2] ∕3% Furniture, fixtures and equipment 20% Motor vehicles 20%

Construction in progress includes property in the course of construction for production or for its own use purposes. Construction in progress is carried at cost less any recognised impairment loss. Construction in progress is classified to the appropriate category of property, plant and equipment when completed and ready for intended use. Depreciation of these assets, on the same basis as other property assets, commences when the assets are ready for their intended use.

An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the item) is included in the consolidated income statement in the year in which the item is derecognised.

Prepaid lease payments

Payments for obtaining land use rights are accounted for as prepaid lease payments and are charged to the consolidated income statement on a straight-line basis over the lease terms. Prepaid lease payments which are to be charged to the consolidated income statement in the next twelve months or less are classified as current assets.

Leasing

The Group as lessee

Rentals payable under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease. Benefits received and receivable as an incentive to enter into an operating lease are recognised as a reduction of rental expense over the lease term on a straight-line basis.

Foreign currencies

The functional currency of the Company and its subsidiaries is RMB. The consolidated financial statements are also presented in RMB.

In preparing the financial statements of each individual group entity, transactions in currencies other than the functional currency of that entity (foreign currencies) are recorded in the respective functional currency (i.e. the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates) at the rates of exchanges prevailing on the dates of the transactions. At each balance sheet date, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are re-translated at the rates prevailing on the balance sheet date. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not re-translated.

Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items, and on the translation of monetary items, are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they arise.

Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, are capitalised as part of the cost of those assets. Capitalisation of such borrowing costs ceases when the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale. Investment income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation.

– IIA-15 –

APPENDIX IIA

ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT OF TARGET GROUP A

All other borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.

Government grants

Government grants are recognised as income over the periods necessary to match them with the related costs. Grants related to depreciable assets are presented as other deferred income and are released to income over the useful lives of the assets.

Retirement benefit costs

Payments to state-managed retirement benefit schemes and the Mandatory Provident Fund Scheme are charged as an expense when employees have rendered services entitling them to the contributions.

Intangible assets

Intangible assets acquired separately and with finite useful lives are carried at costs less accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses. Amortisation for intangible assets with finite useful lives is provided on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives.

Gains or losses arising from derecognition of an intangible asset are measured at the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and are recognised in the consolidated income statement when the asset is derecognised.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is calculated using the weighted average method.

Taxation

Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.

The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the period/year. Taxable profit differs from profit as reported in the consolidated income statement because it excludes items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years, and it further excludes items that are never taxable or deductible. The Group’s liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet dates.

Deferred tax is recognised on differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the Financial Information and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit, and is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences, and deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilised. Such assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from goodwill or from the initial recognition (other then in a business combination) of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for taxable temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries, except where the Group is able to control the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.

Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the liability is settled or the asset is realised. Deferred tax is charged or credited to profit or loss.

– IIA-16 –

APPENDIX IIA

ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT OF TARGET GROUP A

Financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised on the balance sheet when a group entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments. Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the issuance of financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognised directly in profit or loss.

Financial assets

The Group’s financial assets are loans and receivables. All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognised and derecognised on a trade date basis. Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within the time frame established by regulation or convention in the marketplace.

Effective interest method

The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset and of allocating interest income over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts (including transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life of the financial asset, or, where appropriate, a shorter period to the net carrying amount on initial recognition.

Interest income is recognised on an effective interest basis.

Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. At each balance sheet date subsequent to initial recognition, loans and receivables (including trade receivables, other receivables, amounts due from related companies, loans to related companies, restricted bank balances and bank balances) are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any identified impairment losses (see accounting policy on impairment loss on financial assets below).

Impairment of financial assets

Financial assets are assessed for indicators of impairment at each balance sheet date. Financial assets are impaired where there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the financial asset, the estimated future cash flows of the financial assets have been affected. Objective evidence of impairment could include:

  • significant financial difficulty of the issuer or counterparty; or

  • default or delinquency in interest or principal payments; or

  • it becoming probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or financial re-organisation.

For financial assets carried at amortised cost, an impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss when there is objective evidence that the asset is impaired, and is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the original effective interest rate.

The carrying amount of the financial asset is reduced by the impairment loss directly for all financial assets with the exception of trade receivables, where the carrying amount is reduced through the use of an allowance account. Changes in the carrying amount of the allowance account are recognised in profit or loss. When a trade receivable is considered uncollectible, it is written off against the allowance account. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited to profit or loss.

– IIA-17 –

APPENDIX IIA

ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT OF TARGET GROUP A

For financial assets measured at amortised cost, if, in a subsequent period, the amount of impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment losses was recognised, the previously recognised impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss to the extent that the carrying amount of the asset at the date the impairment is reversed does not exceed what the amortised cost would have been had the impairment not been recognised.

Financial liabilities and equity

Financial liabilities and equity instruments issued by a group entity are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.

An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the Group after deducting all of its liabilities. The Group’s financial liabilities are generally classified into financial liabilities at fair value through profit and loss (“FVTPL”) and other financial liabilities.

Effective interest method

The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial liability and of allocating interest expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments through the expected life of the financial liability, or, where appropriate, a shorter period to the net carrying amount on initial recognition.

Interest expense is recognised on an effective interest basis other than financial liability designated at FVTPL, of which the interest expense is included in change in fair value of financial liabilities designated at FVTPL.

Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss

Financial liabilities at FVTPL comprise convertible loan notes, convertible redeemable preferred shares and embedded derivative instruments.

At each balance sheet date subsequent to initial recognition, financial liabilities at FVTPL are measured at fair value, with changes in fair value recognised directly in profit or loss in the period in which they arise.

Other financial liabilities

Financial liabilities including trade payables, other payables, amount due to immediate holding company, amounts due to related companies, loans from related companies, bank borrowings and other borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost, using the effective interest method.

Convertible loan notes

The convertible loan notes of the Company consist of both liability component, conversion option and embedded derivatives (including early redemption option and strike adjustment derivative (see note 29 for details) which are not closely related to the host liability contract. Conversion options that will not be settled by the exchange of a fixed amount of cash or another financial asset for a fixed number of the Company’s own equity instruments are considered as embedded derivatives not closely related to the host contract (the liability component).

The Group has elected to designate its convertible loan notes with embedded derivatives as financial liabilities at FVTPL on initial recognition as the convertible loan notes contain one or more embedded derivatives. At each balance sheet date subsequent to initial recognition, the convertible loan notes are measured at fair value, with changes in fair value recognised directly in profit or loss in the period in which they arise. The change in fair value recognised in profit or loss includes any interest paid for the convertible loan notes.

Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the issue of the convertible loan notes designated as financial liabilities at FVTPL are recognised immediately in profit or loss.

– IIA-18 –

APPENDIX IIA

ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT OF TARGET GROUP A

Convertible redeemable preferred shares

Convertible redeemable preferred shares that are redeemable and convertible to ordinary shares at the option of the holder. The conversion option will be settled other than by the exchange of a fixed amount of cash or another financial asset for a fixed number of the Company’s own equity instruments are considered as embedded derivatives not closely related to the host contract.

The Group has elected to designate its convertible redeemable preferred shares with embedded derivatives as financial liabilities at FVTPL on initial recognition as the convertible redeemable preferred shares contain one or more embedded derivatives. At each balance sheet date subsequent to initial recognition, the entire convertible loan notes are measured at fair value, with changes in fair value recognised directly in profit or loss in the period in which they arise.

Embedded derivative instruments

Derivatives embedded in non-derivative host contracts are treated as separate derivatives when their risks and characteristics are not closely related to those of the host contracts and the host contracts are not measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognised in profit or loss.

Equity instrument

Equity instruments issued by the Company are recorded at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.

Repurchase of equity instruments

Repurchase of the Company’s own equity instruments is recognised and deducted directly in equity. No gain or loss is recognised in the consolidated income statement on the purchase or cancellation of the Company’s own equity instruments.

Derecognition

Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the assets expire or, the financial assets are transferred and the Group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial assets. On derecognition of a financial asset, the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable is recognised in profit or loss.

Financial liabilities are derecognised when the obligation specified in the relevant contract is discharged, cancelled or expired. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognised and the consideration paid and payable is recognised in profit or loss.

Share-based payment transactions

Equity-settled share-based payment transactions

Share options granted to employees

The fair value of services received determined by reference to the fair value of share options granted at the grant date is expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, with a corresponding increase in equity (share options reserve). At each balance sheet date, the Group revises its estimates of the number of options that are expected to ultimately vest. The impact of the revision of the estimates during the vesting period, if any, is recognised in profit or loss, with a corresponding adjustment to share options reserve.

At the time when the share options are exercised, the amount previously recognised in share options reserve will be transferred to share premium. When the share options are forfeited after the vesting date or are still not exercised at the expiry date, the amount previously recognised in share options reserve will be transferred to accumulated profits.

– IIA-19 –

APPENDIX IIA

ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT OF TARGET GROUP A

Impairment losses on tangible and intangible assets other than goodwill (see the accounting policy in respect of goodwill above)

At each balance sheet date, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised as an expense immediately.

Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised as income immediately.

5. KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY

The key assumptions concerning the future, and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the balance sheet date that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year, are discussed below.

Useful lives and impairment of property, plant and equipment

The Group’s management determines the estimated useful lives and related depreciation charges for its property, plant and equipment. This estimate is based on the historical experience of the actual useful lives of property, plant and equipment of similar nature and functions. Management will increase the depreciation charge where useful lives are expected to be shorter than expected, or it will write-off or write-down obsolete or non-strategic assets that have been abandoned or sold. As at 31 December 2006, 2007 and 2008, the carrying amounts of property, plant and equipment are approximately RMB135,647,000, RMB1,019,306,000 and RMB5,052,765,000, respectively.

Fair value of the convertible loan notes, convertible redeemable preferred shares and embedded derivative instruments

For the convertible loan notes, convertible redeemable preferred shares and embedded derivative instruments, no quoted prices in an active market exist. The fair values for the derivatives embedded in convertible note, redeemable preferred shares and embedded derivative instruments are established by using valuation techniques. These techniques include using recent arm’s length market transactions, with reference to the current fair value of similar instruments, discounted cash flow analysis and option pricing models. Valuation techniques are certified by independent and recognised international business valuers before being implemented for valuation and are calibrated to ensure that outputs reflect market conditions. Valuation models established by the valuers make the maximum use of market inputs and rely as little as possible on the Group’s specific data. However, it should be noted that some inputs, such as credit and counterparty risk and risk correlations, require management estimates. Management estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically and are adjusted if necessary. Should any of the estimates and assumptions changed, it may lead to a change in the fair values of the convertible loan notes, convertible redeemable preferred shares and embedded derivative instruments. The carrying amount of the convertible loan notes, convertible redeemable preferred shares and embedded derivative instruments as at 31 December 2008 are approximately RMB498,328,000 (2007: RMB448,775,000), RMB171,452,000 (2007: RMB225,006,000) and RMB9,912,000 (2007: nil), respectively.

6. CAPITAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Group manages its capital to ensure that entities in the Group will be able to continue as a going concern while maximising the return to shareholders through the optimisation of the debt and equity balance.

The capital structure of the Group consists of debt, which mainly includes amounts due to related companies disclosed in note 21, bank borrowings, convertible loan notes and convertible redeemable preferred shares disclosed in notes 27, 29 and 31, respectively, and equity comprising issued share capital and reserves.

– IIA-20 –

APPENDIX IIA

ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT OF TARGET GROUP A

The directors of the Group review the capital structure regularly. As part of this review, the directors consider the cost of capital and the risks associated with each class of capital. Based on recommendation of the directors, the Group will balance its overall capital structure through the issues of new shares, new debts or the redemption of existing debt.

7b. Financial risk management objectives and policies

The Group’s major financial instruments include trade receivables, other receivables, amounts due from related companies, loans to related companies, restricted bank balances, bank balances, trade payables, other payables, amount due to immediate holding company, amounts due to related companies, loans from related companies, bank borrowings, other borrowings, convertible loan notes, convertible redeemable preferred shares and embedded derivative instruments. Details of the financial instruments are disclosed in respective notes. The risks associated with these financial instruments include market risk (currency risk and interest rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The policies on how to mitigate these risks are set out below. The management manages and monitors these exposures to ensure appropriate measures are implemented on a timely and effective manner.

Market risk

Currency risk

Certain bank balances, amounts due to immediate holding company, convertible loan notes, convertible redeemable preferred shares and embedded derivative instruments of the Group are denominated in foreign currencies, which expose the Group to foreign currency risk. The Group currently does not have a foreign currency hedging policy. However, the management monitors foreign exchange exposure by closely monitoring the movement of foreign currency rate.

– IIA-21 –

APPENDIX IIA

ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT OF TARGET GROUP A

No material foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities are noted at 31 December 2006. The carrying amounts of the Group’s foreign currency denominated monetary assets and monetary liabilities at 31 December 2007 and 2008 are as follows:

Assets Liabilities Liabilities
At 31 December At 31 December
2007 2008 2007 2008

Hong Kong dollar 235 1,098 1,085 6,246
United States dollar 80,040 16,398 673,781 779,809

Sensitivity analysis

The following table details the Group’s sensitivity to a 5% increase and decrease in RMB against the relevant foreign currencies. 5% is the sensitivity rate used which represents management’s assessment of the reasonably possible change in foreign exchange rates. The sensitivity analysis includes only outstanding foreign currency denominated monetary items and adjusts their translation at the year end for a 5% change in foreign currency rates. A positive number below indicates a decrease in loss or increase in profit for the year where RMB strengthen 5% against the relevant currency. For a 5% weakening of RMB against the relevant currency, there would be an equal and opposite impact on the loss/profit for the year, and the balances below would be negative.

(Increase)decrease in
loss/(decrease)increase In
profit for the year (415) 43 257 29,687 38,171

Interest rate risk

The Group is exposed to fair value interest rate risk in relation to fixed-rate loans to (from) related companies, restricted bank deposits and bank borrowings (see notes 22, 23, 26 and 27 for details of loans to (from) related companies, restricted bank deposits and bank borrowings, respectively).

The Group is also exposed to cash flow interest rate risk in relation to variable-rate restricted bank deposits, bank balances, bank borrowings and convertible loan notes (see notes 23, 24, 27 and 29 for details of restricted bank deposits, bank balances, bank borrowings and convertible loan notes, respectively).

It is the Group’s policy to maintain an appropriate level between its fixed-rate and variable-rate borrowings so as to minimise the fair value and cash flow interest rate risk. The Group’s exposures to interest rates on financial liabilities are detailed in liquidity risk management section of this note. The Group’s cash flow interest risk is mainly concentrated on the fluctuation of benchmark interest rate of Chinese Central Bank arising from the bank borrowings and London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) arising from the convertible loan notes.

– IIA-22 –

APPENDIX IIA

ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT OF TARGET GROUP A

Sensitivity analysis

The sensitivity analysis below have been determined based on the exposure to interest rates for both derivative and non-derivative instruments. The analysis is prepared assuming the financial instruments outstanding at the respective balance sheet dates were outstanding for the whole period/year. A 50 basis point increase or decrease is used which represents management’s assessment of the reasonably possible change in interest rates.

If interest rates had been 50 basis points higher/lower and all other variables were held constant, the Group’s loss for the period ended 31 December 2006 would increase/decrease by approximately RMB1,033,000; the Group’s loss for the year ended 31 December 2007 would decrease/increase by approximately RMB12,058,000; and the Group’s profit for the year ended 31 December 2008 would decrease/increase by approximately RMB23,000. This is mainly attributable to the Group’s exposure to interest rates on its variable-rate restricted bank deposits, bank balances, bank borrowings, redeemable preferred shares and convertible loan notes.

Credit risk

As at 31 December 2006, 2007 and 2008, the Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk which will cause a financial loss to the Group due to failure to discharge an obligation by the counterparties is arising from the carrying amount of the respective recognised financial assets as stated in the consolidated balance sheet.

In order to minimise the credit risk, the Group conducts credit evaluations of customers and generally requires an advance payment from customers. As at 31 December 2007 and 2008, credit terms are granted to a customer in PRC only which were secured by a letter of credit issued by a PRC bank. The management of the Group also has monitoring procedures to ensure that follow-up action is taken to recover overdue debts. In addition, the Group reviews the recoverable amount of its financial assets including trade receivables, amounts due from and loans to related companies at each balance sheet date to ensure that adequate impairment losses are made for irrecoverable amounts. In this regard, the directors of the Company consider that the Group’s credit risk is significantly reduced.

The credit risk on liquid funds is limited because the counterparties are banks that are principally government-owned financial institutions with high credit ratings and quality.

Liquidity risk

To manage the liquidity risk, the Group monitors and maintains a level of cash and cash equivalents deemed adequate by the management to finance the Group’s operations and mitigate the effects of fluctuations in cash flows. The management monitors the utilisation of bank borrowings and ensures compliance with loan covenants.

The following table details the Group’s remaining contractual maturity for its financial liabilities. For non-derivative financial liabilities, the table has been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities based on the earliest date on which the Group can be required to pay. The table includes both interest and principal cash flows. For derivative instruments, they are settled on a net basis and undiscounted net cash outflows are presented.

7c. Fair value

The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities are determined as follows:

  • the fair value of embedded derivative instruments is calculated using quoted forward exchange rates and yield curves derived from quoted interest rates matching maturities of the contract; and

  • the fair value of convertible loan notes and convertible redeemable preferred shares is calculated using discounted cash flow analysis using the applicable yield curve for the duration of the instruments using option pricing models.

The directors consider the carrying amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities carried at amortised cost in the consolidated financial statements approximate to their fair values.

The income tax expense represents income tax in the PRC which is calculated at the prevailing tax rate on the taxable income of the group entities in the PRC. The Group’s subsidiaries in the PRC are subject to PRC EIT at the applicable tax rate of 33% less a 3% exemption of local income tax up to 31 December 2007.

Taxation arising in other jurisdictions is calculated at the rates prevailing in the relevant jurisdictions. The Company is tax exempt under the laws of the Cayman Islands. No provision for Hong Kong Profits Tax has been made as the Group’s profits neither arises in, nor is derived from, Hong Kong for the Relevant Periods.

Pursuant to the relevant laws and regulations in the PRC, JZPTD was entitled to the exemptions from EIT for two years starting from its first profit-making year, followed by a 50% tax relief for the next three years. JZPTD is entitled to this tax exemption in 2007, its first profit-making year. However, as there were less than six months of operations in 2007, JZPTD elected to defer the commencement of the tax exemption period to 2008.

On 16 March 2007, the PRC promulgated the Law of the PRC on EIT (the “New Law”) by Order No. 63 of the President of the PRC. On 6 December 2007, the State Council of the PRC issued Implementation Regulation of the New Law. Under the New Law and Implementation Regulation, the EIT rate of the Group’s subsidiaries in the PRC was reduced from 33% to 25% from 1 January 2008 onwards.

For the year ended 31 December 2007, JZPTD purchased plant and machinery manufactured in the PRC. In accordance with the PRC tax regulations, JZPTD received 40% of the purchased amount as an investment tax credit resulting in a tax deduction of approximately RMB25,987,000.

Under the New Law of PRC, withholding tax is imposed on dividends declared in respect of profits earned by PRC subsidiaries from 1 January 2008 onwards. Deferred taxation has not been provided for in the Financial Information in respect of temporary differences attributable to accumulated profits of the PRC subsidiaries amounting approximately RMB1,373,832,000 as the Group is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

For the year ended 31 December 2008, JZPTD was required by the PRC government to increase its registered capital in order to obtain approval to increase its production capacity. JZPTD increased its registered capital by RMB1,000,000,000 through recapitalisation of its undistributed earnings, out of which RMB886,258,000 was recapitalised from its earnings subsequent to 1 January 2008. Such recapitalisation is deemed to be a distribution to the Company and accordingly, a provision for PRC dividend withholding tax of approximately RMB28,360,000 has been recognised based on the applicable tax rate of 5% on distributed earnings of JZPTD shared by the Company.

TZPTD was established on 12 June 2008 in the PRC through a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and an independent third party, which held 70% and 30% ownership interest in TZPTD, respectively. The principal activity of TZPTD is the production of raw materials of polysilicon for JZPTD. On 13 November 2008, JZPTD acquired the 30% ownership interest in TZPTD held by the independent third party for a consideration of RMB11,000,000. The fair value of the 30% net assets of TZPTD acquired was approximately RMB6,718,000 and a goodwill of approximately RMB4,282,000 was recognised. The consideration of RMB11,000,000 remained outstanding as at 31 December 2008.

During the year ended 31 December 2008, management of the Group has determined that there is no impairment on the goodwill arising from the acquisition of TZPTD as the amount involved is insignificant.

17. INTANGIBLE ASSET

The Group’s intangible asset represents license fee paid in 2008 for technical know-how relating to the production process. The intangible asset is carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and is amortised on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life of 15 years. No amortisation expense has been recognised for the year ended 31 December 2008 as the amount involved is insignificant.

28. OTHER BORROWINGS

Other borrowings represent advances received from the PRC government for financing JZPTD’s operations. It was unsecured, non-interest bearing and fully repaid during 2007.

29. CONVERTIBLE LOAN NOTES

On 10 September 2007, the Company issued convertible loan notes in two tranches for a principal amount of US$60,000,000 to an independent third-party (the “Note Holder”), of which US$20,000,000 was redeemable but not convertible (“Tranche A”) and the remaining US$40,000,000 was either convertible into the Company’s shares or redeemable (“Tranche B”). Tranche A and Tranche B were issued simultaneously and can only be transferred together in equal proportion and may ultimately be terminated by either redemption or conversion simultaneously at the option of the Note Holder, including upon an initial public offering (“IPO”) event. Since Tranche A and Tranche B cannot exist independently, they have been considered as a single instrument. The convertible loan notes are denominated in United States dollar and are secured by the Company’s 64% equity interest in JZPTD.

The maturity date of the convertible loan notes is on 10 September 2009. The convertible loan notes carry interest at the three months LIBOR deposit rate plus 3% per annum in the first year and three months LIBOR deposit rate plus 5% per annum in the second year. Interest is payable in arrears each quarter.

The convertible loan notes are subject to a number of covenants, such as the maintenance of certain financial ratios, restrictions on granting collateral, disposals of existing assets, the making of payments to shareholders and affiliates and the making of investments. If the covenants are not met, the convertible loan notes may become immediately due and payable at 125% of the principal amount plus any accrued and unpaid interest. In the opinion of the directors, the Group met these conditions in the required period.

Tranche B is convertible into 3% of outstanding ordinary shares if a qualifying IPO occurs prior to 10 September 2009. Since the Company’s functional currency is in RMB and the convertible loan notes are denominated in United States dollar, the conversion is not settled by the exchange of a fixed monetary amount for a fixed number of equity interments, the conversion option is considered not to be closely related to the host contract (the liability component). Upon exercise of the conversion options of Tranche B, if the market capitalization of the Company at conversion is less than US$2,560,000,000, the Group must pay the Note Holder 3% the difference between US$2,560,000,000 and the market capitalisation of the Company at conversion (“Strike Adjustment”). The redemption terms of the convertible loan notes are as follows:

  • (a) In the event the Group is obligated to pay additional amounts related to withholding tax or other taxation amounts as a result of any change or amendment to the tax law or regulations of the relevant jurisdiction that would otherwise reduce the yield of the Note Holder, subject to agreement by the Note Holder, the Group may redeem the convertible loan notes. If the Note Holder decides not to have the Group redeemed the convertible loan notes, the Group will no longer be obligated to gross up the payments to the Note Holder;

– IIA-37 –

APPENDIX IIA

ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT OF TARGET GROUP A

  • (b) Under the terms of the convertible loan notes, the Company shall redeem all of the convertible loan notes at 100% plus accrued interest before 31 January 2008 at the request of the Note Holder. The Note Holder waives the right on such redemption if they have not provided notice of redemption by 31 January 2008. The Note Holder has not provided such notice of redemption and as a result the convertible loan notes will automatically convert upon a qualifying IPO or redeem at maturity on 10 September 2009;

  • (c) The Group shall redeem the convertible loan notes at 125% of the outstanding principal amount plus accrued interest at maturity on 10 September 2009 or upon liquidation of the Group; and

  • (d) The Note Holder may require the convertible loan notes to be redeemed at 125% of the outstanding principal amount plus accrued interest in the events of default or non-compliance with the covenants under the convertible loan notes agreement.

The convertible loan notes are measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognised in the consolidated income statement. The movement of the Convertible Notes is set out below:

The convertible loan notes were valued at fair value by the directors with reference to a valuation report carried out by Jones Lang LaSalle Sallmanns Limited (“Jones Lang LaSalle Sallmanns”), an independent and recognised international business valuers, on 31 December 2007 and 2008, at approximately US$61,786,000 (approximately RMB448,775,000) and US$72,913,000 (approximately RMB498,328,000), respectively. The change in fair value of the convertible loan notes of approximately RMB25,054,000 and RMB105,259,000, has been recognised in the consolidated income statements for the year ended 31 December 2007 and 2008, respectively. The change in fair value was mainly due to change in market risk factors. The fair value attributable to change in its credit risk is considered immaterial.

The issue cost of the Convertible Notes amounted to approximately RMB19,026,000 has been recognised in the consolidated income statements for the year ended 31 December 2007.

The assumptions adopted for the valuation of the convertible loan notes as of 31 December 2007 are as follows:

  • (1) Yield to maturity of 20.74% was used by reference to estimated credit rating of the Group;

  • (2) The probability of the exercise of options of the Strike Adjustment is insignificant.

– IIA-38 –

APPENDIX IIA

ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT OF TARGET GROUP A

  • (3) Risk-free rate – 3.29% was used by reference to the yield of a 1 year United States of American treasury bonds;

  • (4) Volatility – 47.61% for the underlying share price has consider the historical price movements of comparable companies; and

  • (5) Dividend yield – assumed to be 0% per annum

  • The assumptions adopted for the valuation of the convertible loan notes as of 31 December 2008 are as follows:

  • (1) Yield to maturity of 10.85% was used by reference to estimated credit rating of the Group;

  • (2) The probability of the exercise of options of the Strike Adjustment is insignificant; and

  • (3) The probability of the exercise of the conversion option is insignificant.

30. DEFERRED REVENUE

In 2008, the Group entered into long-term supply contracts for supply of goods with pre-determined volumes and prices. Revenue under long-term contracts is recognised in the consolidated income statement based on the actual volumes sold and the weighted average prices over the contractual periods. Revenue relating to the difference between pre-determined prices and the weighted average prices is recognised as deferred revenue on the consolidated balance sheets.

As at 31 December 2008, after re-negotiation with the Group’s customers, the original pre-determined prices as stated in several long-term supply contracts were found to be no longer applicable. As a result, a deferred revenue of approximately RMB583,563,000, representing the difference between the original pre-determined prices and the weighted average prices, was recognised as revenue during the year ended 31 December 2008.

31.

CONVERTIBLE REDEEMABLE PREFERRED SHARES

On 29 August 2007, a shareholder transferred 16,667 ordinary shares of the Company to certain investors for a consideration of US$20,000,000. These shares were immediately redesignated as 16,667,000 Series A convertible redeemable preferred shares (the “Preferred Shares”). The Preferred Shares have been recognised at their initial fair value of US$20,000,000 (RMB150,215,000) with a per share value of US$1.2. The excess of fair value of the Preferred Shares over the retired ordinary shares was approximately RMB150,215,000 and had been charged to the accumulated losses.

The Preferred Shares are non-interest bearing and convertible into ordinary shares at any time at the option of the holder at a conversion ratio of one-to-one subject to certain anti-dilution provisions (mainly including adjustment for the Company’s share split or combination) and a one-time performance adjustment based on the Group’s net profit for the year ended 31 December 2008. Since the Company’s functional currency is in RMB and the Preferred Shares are denominated in United States dollar, the conversion is not settled by the exchange of a fixed monetary amount for a fixed number of equity interments, the conversion option is considered not to be closely related to the host. The Preferred Shares will be automatically converted into ordinary shares upon a qualifying IPO. The preferred shareholders participate in cash and non-cash dividends on a pro rata basis to all ordinary shares on an as-converted basis.

The Preferred Shares carry liquidation preference to receive, prior to any distribution to the holders of ordinary shares or any class of shares, an amount per share equal to 100% of the Preferred Shares issue price plus all accrued or declared but unpaid dividends. If the Group has insufficient assets, it is required to distribute its assets ratably to the preferred shareholders. The preferred shareholders, after receiving their proportional amount are entitled to further participate in the distribution of the remaining assets of the Group ratably among all the holders of outstanding ordinary shares and Preferred Shares on an as-converted basis.

In the event the Group’s audited consolidated net income under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) is lower than 95% of the target of US$150,000,000 (the “2008 Profit Target”), HG, shall transfer an additional number of ordinary shares (“Additional shares”) to the holder so that the shareholding percentage of each preferred shareholder equals the product of (a) initial shareholding percentage and (b) the quotient of the 2008 Profit Target divided by the audited consolidated net income. To the extent that HG does not have sufficient ordinary shares to fulfill the performance adjustment, the Company shall make up for the difference by issuing additional ordinary shares to the preferred shareholder. In the event that, as a result of the performance adjustment, the shareholding percentage of the preferred shareholders combined exceeds 10% of total issued shares of the Company, the preferred shareholders will have the right to request the Company to redeem the outstanding preferred shares at 150% of the preferred shares issue price. If the Company does not have sufficient cash legally available to redeem the shares, HG shall purchase the shares. In the opinion of the management of the Company, HG has sufficient ordinary shares to fulfil the performance adjustment if the 2008 Profit Target cannot be met.

The major redemption terms of the Preferred Shares are as follows:

  • (a) In the event of a breach of certain non-competition covenants by HG or the Company, the preferred shareholders have the right to put their Preferred Shares at 100% of the Preferred Shares issue price plus any accrued but unpaid dividends of the Preferred Shares either to the Company or to HG.

  • (b) If the audited consolidated earnings before interest and income tax for the period from 1 January 2007 to 31 March 2008 under U.S. GAAP is less than US$20,000,000, the preferred shareholders have a right to put the Preferred Shares for redemption at 150% of the Preferred Shares issue price plus any accrued but unpaid dividends to the Company or to HG. In the opinion of the directors, the Group met this condition in the said period.

  • (c) If the Group does not effect a qualifying IPO by August 2010, the preferred shareholders have a right to put the Preferred Shares at 150% of the Preferred Shares issue price plus any accrued and unpaid dividends of the Preferred Shares either to the Company or to HG. If upon exercise of this put right, the Company and HG do not have sufficient funds to redeem or purchase the shares, HG will pledge a number of ordinary shares to the preferred shareholders to make up the difference in price. If the ordinary shares are not redeemed or repurchased within a 12-months period, the preferred shareholders will become the owner of the pledged ordinary shares and all obligations under the preferred share agreement will thereby be fulfilled.

The Preferred Shares are measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognised in the consolidated income statements. The movement of the Preferred Shares is set out below:

32. EMBEDDED DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

The Preferred Shares were valued at fair value by the directors with reference to a valuation report carried out by Jones Lang LaSalle Sallmanns, on 31 December 2007 and 2008, at approximately US$30,978,000 (approximately RMB225,006,000) and US$25,086,000 (approximately RMB171,452,000), respectively. The change in fair value of approximately RMB79,738,000 and RMB40,271,000, has been recognised in the consolidated income statements for the year ended 31 December 2007 and 2008, respectively. The change in fair value was mainly due to change in market risk factors. The fair value attributable to change in its credit risk is considered immaterial.

The assumptions adopted for the valuation of the Preferred Shares as of 31 December 2007 are as follows:

  • (1) The probability of the preferred shareholders for redemption and conversion was estimated to be 25% and 75%, respectively;

  • (2) The time to redemption and conversion was assumed to be 2.66 years and 0.42 years, respectively;

  • (3) Risk-free rate – 3.25%, 3.41%, 3.29%, 3.02% and 3.06% were used by reference to the yield of 3-month, 6-month, 1-year, 2-year and 3-year United States of American treasury bonds, respectively;

  • (4) Volatility – 57.09% and 58.58% were used for 32-month volatility and 5-month volatility, respectively, based on the historical price movements of comparable companies; and

  • (5) Dividend yield – assumed to be 0% per annum.

The assumptions adopted for the valuation of the Preferred Shares as of 31 December 2008 are as follows:

  • (1) The probability of the preferred shareholders for redemption and conversion option is estimated to be 10% and 90%, respectively;

  • (2) The time to redemption and conversion was assumed to be 1.65 years and 0.75 years, respectively;

  • (3) Risk-free rate – 0.12%, 0.23%, 0.34%, 0.77% and 1.00% were used by reference to the yield of 3-month, 6-month, 1-year, 2-year and 3-year United States of American treasury bonds, respectively;

  • (4) Volatility – 82.85% and 74.05% were used for 32-month volatility and 5-month volatility, respectively, based on the historical price movements of comparable companies; and

  • (5) Dividend yield – assumed to be 0% per annum.

On 27 June 2008, JZPTD entered into a long-term machinery supply contract according to which the purchase price of the machinery to be acquired was denominated in currencies which are not the functional currency of JZPTD. Accordingly, the contract contains embedded foreign currency forward contracts, which are required to be separated from the long-term machinery supply contract as they have not been considered as clearly and closely related to the supply contract.

The notional amounts of the contract price denominated in foreign currencies are US$50,634,864 and EUR87,955,236. The amounts are contracted to be settled over 2008 to 2010. At 31 December 2008, the outstanding contract amounts are to be settled in a series of 50 maturity dates within the period from 5 January 2009 to 15 December 2010.

The embedded foreign currency derivatives are measured at fair value at the balance sheet date. Their fair values are determined based on the quoted market prices provided by counterparty financial institutions for equivalent instruments at the balance sheet date. The valuation is carried by Ernst & Young Advisory Services Limited, independent professional valuers not connected to the Group.

37. PLEDGE OF ASSETS

As at 31 December 2007 and 2008, 64% equity interest in JZPTD has been pledged to secure convertible loan notes issued by the Company. As a result of the pledge, JZPTD is restricted in their ability to transfer a portion of their net assets to the Company either in the form of dividends, loans or advances.

38. SHARE-BASED PAYMENT TRANSACTIONS

On 15 August 2007, the directors of the Company adopted a share option plan to grant options to its employees and directors to purchase ordinary shares of the Company subject to vesting requirements. The total number of ordinary shares which may be issued upon exercise of all options shall not exceed 5% of the total number of issued ordinary shares as of 15 August 2007. The options have an exercise price of US$0.5 per share (after share split per note 33). The options can only be exercised after either (i) upon public listing of the Company; or (ii) certain events constitute a change in control of the Company prior to public listing of the Company and the management has elected to accelerate the exercisability of the options. If either of the foregoing conditions are not satisfied, the options will lapse.

On 15 August 2007, the Company granted two options to one of the Company’s directors and one employee to purchase 2,000 ordinary shares of the Company. On 29 February 2008, the two options were cancelled. On the same date, the Company granted additional 5,000,000 share options to its directors and employees to purchase 50,000,000 ordinary shares of the Company with exercise price of US$0.5 per share. Each option is exercisable into 10 ordinary shares. The options granted become exercisable following the expiry of one year after the public listing of the Company and must be exercised within 10 years from the date of grant. The options vest each year over a period of four years.

  • All the figures have been adjusted for the effect of share split per note 33

The following table discloses movements of the Company’s share options held by its directors and employees during the Relevant Periods:

Granted on 15 August 2007, outstanding
at 31 December 2007 and 1 January, 2008

As at 31 December 2007 and 2008, none of the outstanding options were vested and no option was available for future grant.

During the Relevant Periods, share options were granted on 15 August 2007 and 29 February 2008. No fair value was estimated for the options granted on 15 August 2007 as the directors of the Company are of the opinion that the amount involved is insignificant. The estimated fair value of the options granted on 29 February 2008 was approximately US$69,442,000.

– IIA-45 –

APPENDIX IIA

ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT OF TARGET GROUP A

The fair value of the options has been estimated using the Binominal model. The assumptions used in determining the fair value of the options are as follows:

Risk free interest rate 3.71%
Expected volatility 60.65%
Dividend yield 0%
Sub-optimal factor 1. 5

Expected volatility was determined by using the volatility of the stock return of comparable listed companies as at the valuation date. The sub-optimal factor indicates the correlation between the employees exercise behaviour and the underlying share price. It is expected that the employees may exercise the options when the share price is 1.5 times the exercise price.

No compensation cost related to the options grant has been recognised for the Relevant Periods, as the vesting period is based on occurrence of events stated above.

Binomial model has been used to estimate the fair value of the options. The variables and assumptions used in computing the fair value of the share options are based on the directors’ best estimate. The value of an option varies with different variables of certain subjective assumptions.

39. ACQUISITION OF ASSETS IN SUBSIDIARIES

On 13 December 2006, the Group acquired 64% of the issued share capital of JZPTD for a consideration of RMB128,000,000 from companies controlled by Mr. Zhu who was unrelated to the Group as at the acquisition date. JZPTD had a wholly-owned subsidiary, JSJST at the date of acquisition. The acquisition has been accounted for as acquisition of assets and liabilities as JZPTD and JSJST have not yet commenced their planned business at the date of acquisition.

The net assets acquired in the transaction are as follows:

Net assets acquired:
Property, plant and equipment
Prepaid lease payments
Deposits for acquisition of property, plant and equipment
Amounts due from related companies
Deposits, prepayments and other receivables
Bank balances and cash

APPENDIX IIB ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT OF SUN WAVE GROUP

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. GENERAL

The Company is a private limited company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands (“BVI”). The address of the registered office is P.O. Box 957, Offshore Incorporations Centre, Road Town, Tortola, the BVI, and the address of the principal place of business is Suite 3601-4, Two Exchange Square, 8 Connaught Road Central, Hong Kong. In the opinion of the directors, its immediate holding company is Happy Genius Holdings Limited, a company incorporated in the BVI. Its ultimate holding company is Asia Pacific Energy Fund Limited, a company incorporated in the BVI which is ultimately controlled by Mr. Zhu Gong Shan (“Mr. Zhu”).

The Company is an investment holding company. During the Relevant Periods, the Company acquired interests in an associate. The principal activities of its associate are set out in note 13.

The Financial Information is presented in Renminbi (“RMB”), which is the same as the functional currency of the Company and its subsidiary.

The Financial Information has been prepared on a going concern basis because the immediate holding company has agreed not to demand for repayment of the amount due to immediate holding company and to provide additional funding to the Group such that the Group is able to meet its financial obligations in full as they fall due in the foreseeable future.

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

On 25 February 2008, the Company acquired the entire equity interest in Excel Bond, Wise Universe and ASTDH BVI and their wholly owned subsidiaries, ASTD, Speedy Gain and ASTDH from parties/entities controlled by Mr. Zhu.

The consolidated income statements, statements of changes in equity and cash flows statements include the results, changes in equity and cash flows of the Company and ASTDH BVI, ASTDH, ASTD, Excel Bond, Wise Universe and Speedy Gain as if these entities had been the subsidiaries of the Company throughout the Relevant Periods or since their respective dates of incorporation where this is a shorter period. The consolidated balance sheet of the Group as at 31 December 2007 has been prepared to present the assets and liabilities of the Company and ASTDH BVI, ASTDH, ASTD, Excel Bond, Wise Universe and Speedy Gain as if these entities had been the subsidiaries of the Company as at that date.

The Group did not incur any revenue or expense during the period from 11 September 2006 to 31 December 2006.

The Group did not have any assets and liabilities as at 31 December 2006 except for share capital of Speedy Gain of HK$1 (RMB1) and an amount due from immediate holding company of the same amount. Accordingly, consolidated income statements, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated cash flow statements for the period from 11 September 2006 to 31 December 2006 and the consolidated balance sheet as at 31 December 2006 are not presented.

3. APPLICATION OF INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS (“IFRSs”)

The Group has adopted all of the new and revised International Accounting Standards (“IASs”), IFRSs and amendments issued by International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and the interpretations developed by International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”), which are effective for the financial year beginning on 1 January 2008 consistently in the preparation of its Financial Information throughout the Relevant Periods.

The directors of the Company anticipated that the application of these new and revised standards, amendments and interpretations will have no material effect on the results and the financial position of the Group.

The Financial Information has been prepared under the historical cost basis and in accordance with the following accounting policies which conform with IFRSs. In addition, the Financial Information includes the applicable disclosure required by the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on the Stock Exchange and by the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance.

Basis of consolidation

Financial Information incorporates the financial statements of the Company and entities controlled by the Company (its subsidiaries). Control is achieved where the Company has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities.

Where necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies in line with those used by other members of the Group.

All intra-group transactions, balances, income and expenses are eliminated on consolidation.

– IIB-8 –

APPENDIX IIB ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT OF SUN WAVE GROUP

Investment in subsidiaries

Investments in subsidiaries are stated at cost less any identified impairment losses.

Interests in an associate

An associate is an entity over which the investor has significant influence and that is neither a subsidiary nor an interest in a joint venture.

The results and assets and liabilities of an associate are incorporated in these consolidated financial statements using the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method, investments in an associate are carried in the consolidated balance sheet at cost as adjusted for pre-acquisition dividends and post-acquisition changes in the Group’s share of the net assets of the associate, less any identified impairment loss. When the Group’s share of losses of an associate equals or exceeds its interest in that associate, the Group discontinues recognising its share of further losses. An additional share of losses is provided for and a liability is recognised only to the extent that the Group has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of that associate.

Any excess of the cost of acquisition over the Group’s share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the associate recognised at the date of acquisition is recognised as goodwill. The goodwill is included within the carrying amount of the investment and is assessed for impairment as part of the investment.

Where a group entity transacts with an associate of the Group, profits and losses are eliminated to the extent of the Group’s interest in the relevant associate.

Revenue recognition

Interest income from a financial asset is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the effective interest rate applicable, which is the rate that exactly discounts the estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to that asset’s net carrying amount on initial recognition.

Foreign currencies

In preparing the financial statements of each individual group entity, transactions in currencies other than the functional currency of that entity (foreign currencies) are recorded in the respective functional currency (i.e. the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates) at the rates of exchanges prevailing on the dates of the transactions. At each balance sheet date, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are re-translated at the rates prevailing on the balance sheet date. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not re-translated.

Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items, and on the translation of monetary items, are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they arise.

Taxation

Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.

The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the Relevant Periods. Taxable profit differs from profit as reported in the consolidated income statement because it excludes items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years, and it further excludes items that are never taxable or deductible. The Group’s liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.

Deferred tax is recognised on differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the Financial Information and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit, and is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences, and deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilised. Such assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from goodwill or from the initial recognition (other then in a business combination) of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit.

– IIB-9 –

APPENDIX IIB ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT OF SUN WAVE GROUP

Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for taxable temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries and an associate, except where the Group is able to control the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.

Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the liability is settled or the asset is realised. Deferred tax is charged or credited to profit or loss.

Financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised on the balance sheet when a group entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments. Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities on initial recognition.

Financial assets

The Group’s financial assets are loans and receivables.

Effective interest method

The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset and of allocating interest income over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts (including transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life of the financial asset, or, where appropriate, a shorter period to the net carrying amount on initial recognition.

Interest income is recognised on an effective interest basis.

Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. At each balance sheet date subsequent to initial recognition, loans and receivables (including amounts due from subsidiaries, amounts due from shareholders and bank balances) are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any identified impairment losses (see accounting policy on impairment loss on financial assets below).

Impairment of financial assets

Financial assets are assessed for indicators of impairment at each balance sheet date. Financial assets are impaired where there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the financial asset, the estimated future cash flows of the financial assets have been affected. Objective evidence of impairment could include:

  • significant financial difficulty of the issuer or counterparty; or

  • default or delinquency in interest or principal payments; or

  • it becoming probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or financial re-organisation.

For financial assets carried at amortised cost, an impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss when there is objective evidence that the asset is impaired, and is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the original effective interest rate.

– IIB-10 –

APPENDIX IIB ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT OF SUN WAVE GROUP

For financial assets measured at amortised cost, if, in a subsequent period, the amount of impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment losses was recognised, the previously recognised impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss to the extent that the carrying amount of the asset at the date the impairment is reversed does not exceed what the amortised cost would have been had the impairment not been recognised.

Financial liabilities and equity

Financial liabilities and equity instruments issued by a group entity are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.

An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the Group after deducting all of its liabilities.

Effective interest method

The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial liability and of allocating interest expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments through the expected life of the financial liability, or, where appropriate, a shorter period to the net carrying amount on initial recognition.

Interest expense is recognised on an effective interest basis.

Financial liabilities

Financial liabilities including other payables, amount due to a related company and amount due to immediate holding company are subsequently measured at amortised cost, using the effective interest method.

Equity instrument

Equity instruments issued by the Company are recorded at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.

Derecognition

Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the assets expire or, the financial assets are transferred and the Group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial assets. On derecognition of a financial asset, the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable is recognised in profit or loss.

Financial liabilities are derecognised when the obligation specified in the relevant contract is discharged, cancelled or expired. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognised and the consideration paid and payable is recognised in profit or loss.

Impairment losses on tangible assets

At each balance sheet date, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised as an expense immediately.

Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised as income immediately.

– IIB-11 –

APPENDIX IIB ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT OF SUN WAVE GROUP

5. CAPITAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Group manages its capital to ensure that entities in the Group will be able to continue as a going concern while maximising the return to shareholders through the optimisation of the debt and equity balance.

The capital structure of the Group consists of debt, which mainly includes amount due to immediate holding company disclosed in note 16, and equity comprising issued share capital and reserves.

The directors of the Group review the capital structure regularly. As part of this review, the directors consider the cost of capital and the risks associated with each class of capital. Based on recommendation of the directors, the Group will balance its overall capital structure through the issues of new shares, new debts or the redemption of existing debt.

6b. Financial risk management objectives and policies

The Group’s major financial instruments include amounts due from shareholders, bank balances, other payables, amount due a related company and amount due to immediate holding company. Details of the financial instruments are disclosed in respective notes. The risks associated with these financial instruments include currency risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The policies on how to mitigate these risks are set out below. The management manages and monitors these exposures to ensure appropriate measures are implemented on a timely and effective manner.

Market risk

Currency risk

Certain bank balances, amounts due from shareholders, other payables, amount due to a related company and amount due to immediate holding company of the Group are denominated in foreign currencies, which expose the Group to foreign currency risk. The Group currently does not have a foreign currency hedging policy. However, the management monitors foreign exchange exposure by closely monitoring the movement of foreign currency rate. The currency risk of the Company is insignificant.

Sensitivity analysis

The following table details the Group’s sensitivity to a 5% increase and decrease in RMB against the relevant foreign currencies. 5% is the sensitivity rate used which represents management’s assessment of the reasonably possible change in foreign exchange rates. The sensitivity analysis includes only outstanding foreign currency denominated monetary items and adjusts their translation at the year end for a 5% change in foreign currency rates. A positive/negative number below indicates a decrease/increase in loss for the year where RMB strengthen 5% against the relevant currency. For a 5% weakening of RMB against the relevant currency, there would be an equal and opposite impact on the loss for the year.

RMB’000 RMB’000 RMB’000 RMB’000
Loss for the year 2,726 83,039 (2,726) (2)

Credit risk

As at 31 December 2008, the Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk which will cause a financial loss to the Group due to failure to discharge an obligation by the counterparties is arising from the carrying amount of the respective recognised financial assets as stated in the consolidated balance sheet.

The credit risk on liquid funds is limited because the counterparties are banks with high credit ratings assigned by international credit rating agencies.

Liquidity risk

The Group has net current liabilities and net liabilities amounting to approximately RMB1,669,591,000 and RMB250,149,000, respectively, at 31 December 2008. The Group is exposed to liquidity risk of being unable to raise sufficient funds to meet its financial obligations when they fall due.

To manage the liquidity risk, the Group monitors and maintains a level of cash and cash equivalents deemed adequate by the management to finance the Group’s operations and mitigate the effects of fluctuations in cash flows.

As mentioned in Note 1, the immediate holding company has agreed not to demand for repayment of the amount due to immediate holding company and to provide additional funding to the Group such that the Group is able to meet its financial obligations in full as they fall due for the foreseeable future.

– IIB-13 –

APPENDIX IIB ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT OF SUN WAVE GROUP

The following table details the Group’s remaining contractual maturity for its financial liabilities. The table has been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities based on the earliest date on which the Group can be required to pay. All financial liabilities are non-interest bearing. The table therefore includes only principal cash flows.

9. INCOME TAX EXPENSE

Income tax expense for the year ended 31 December 2008 represents the current tax charge approximately RMB2,613,000 and deferred tax charge of approximately RMB13,738,000 (note 17) in respect of the PRC dividend withholding tax.

On 12 September 2008, the associate was required by the PRC government to increase its registered capital in order to obtain approval to increase its production capacity. The associate increased its registered capital by RMB1,000,000,000 through recapitalisation of its undistributed earnings, out of which approximately RMB886,258,000 was recapitalised from its earnings subsequent to 1 January 2008. Such recapitalisation is deemed to be a distribution to the Group and accordingly, a provision for PRC dividend withholding tax of approximately RMB6,250,000 and RMB2,613,000 has been recognised for the period from 1 January 2008 to the date of acquisition of the associate and from the date of acquisition onwards, based on the applicable tax rate of 5% on approximately RMB125,000,000 and RMB52,251,000 deemed distribution to the Group, respectively. The provision for the PRC pre-acquisition dividend withholding tax of approximately RMB6,250,000 has been directly debited to the cost of investment in an associate as disclosed in note 13.

The Company and its subsidiaries incorporated in the BVI are tax exempted under the laws of the BVI. No provision for Hong Kong Profits Tax has been made in the consolidated financial statements as the Group has no assessable profit for the Relevant Periods.

On 26 June 2008, the Hong Kong Legislative Council passed the Revenue Bill 2008 which reduced corporate profits tax rate from 17.5% to 16.5% effective from the year of assessment 2008/2009. Therefore, Hong Kong Profits Tax is calculated at 17.5% and 16.5% of the estimated assessable profit for the years ended 31 December 2007 and 2008, respectively, if any.

The income tax expense for the Relevant Periods can be reconciled to the loss before tax as follows:

Loss before tax
Tax at Hong Kong Profits Tax rate of 17.5% for 2007 and
16.5% for 2008
Tax effect of expenses not deductible for tax purpose

On 30 April 2008, the Group acquired 20% equity interest of 江蘇中能硅業科技發展有限公司 Jiangsu Zhongneng Polysilicon Technology Development Co., Ltd. (“JZPTD”) from the then shareholders of JZPTD at aggregate consideration of approximately RMB1,697,472,000. JZPTD is engaged in manufacture and sale of polysilicon and wafer products. Upon acquisition, the Group has identified an intangible asset in respect of outstanding long term contracts signed with third parties for polysilicon and wafer products. The intangible asset is measured at the fair value of approximately RMB8,243,000,000, determined by reference to a valuation performed by Jones Lang LaSalle Sallmanns Limited (“Jones Lang LaSalle Sallmanns”), an independent international business valuer at 30 April 2008. The fair value of the intangible asset of approximately RMB1,648,600,000 and the corresponding deferred tax liability of approximately RMB247,290,000, attributable to the Group has been recognised on the same date. Goodwill of approximately RMB36,441,000 arising on acquisition of an associate during the year ended 31 December 2008 has been recognised.

The amount included amortisation of approximately RMB109,906,000 and impairment loss of the intangible asset acquired of approximately RMB510,756,000, net of tax effect of approximately RMB97,804,000, attributable to the Group from the date of acquisition to 31 December 2008.

The Group has assessed the impairment loss of intangible asset by reference to a business valuation performed by Jones Lang LaSalle Sallmanns at 31 December 2008, using income approach. That calculation uses cash flow projections based on financial budgets approved by management covering a seven-year period at a discount rate of 15.08%.

Such estimation is based on the associate’s past performance and management’s expectations for the market development. Based on the valuation, the Group has recognised impairment loss of intangible asset of approximately RMB510,756,000, net of tax effect of approximately RMB97,804,000 attributable to the Group from the date of acquisition to 31 December 2008, due to the revision of the terms of those outstanding long term contracts.

All intra-group transactions, balances, income and expenses are eliminated on consolidation.

– IIC-8 –

APPENDIX IIC ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT OF GREATEST JOY GROUP

Investment in a subsidiary

Investment in a subsidiary is stated at cost less any identified impairment losses.

Interests in an associate

An associate is an entity over which the investor has significant influence and that is neither a subsidiary nor an interest in a joint venture.

The results and assets and liabilities of an associate are incorporated in these consolidated financial statements using the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method, investments in an associate are carried in the consolidated balance sheet at cost as adjusted for pre-acquisition dividends and post-acquisition changes in the Group’s share of the net assets of the associate, less any identified impairment loss. When the Group’s share of losses of an associate equals or exceeds its interest in that associate, the Group discontinues recognising its share of further losses. An additional share of losses is provided for and a liability is recognised only to the extent that the Group has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of that associate.

Any excess of the cost of acquisition over the Group’s share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the associate recognised at the date of acquisition is recognised as goodwill. The goodwill is included within the carrying amount of the investment and is assessed for impairment as part of the investment.

Where a group entity transacts with an associate of the Group, profits and losses are eliminated to the extent of the Group’s interest in the relevant associate.

Revenue recognition

Interest income from a financial asset is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the effective interest rate applicable, which is the rate that exactly discounts the estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to that asset’s net carrying amount on initial recognition.

Foreign currencies

In preparing the financial statements of each individual group entity, transactions in currencies other than the functional currency of that entity (foreign currencies) are recorded in the respective functional currency (i.e. the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates) at the rates of exchanges prevailing on the dates of the transactions. At each balance sheet date, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are re-translated at the rates prevailing on the balance sheet date. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not re-translated.

Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items, and on the translation of monetary items, are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they arise.

Taxation

Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.

The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the Relevant Periods. Taxable profit differs from profit as reported in the consolidated income statement because it excludes items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years, and it further excludes items that are never taxable or deductible. The Group’s liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet dates.

Deferred tax is recognised on differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the Financial Information and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit, and is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences, and deferred tax assets are recognised

– IIC-9 –

APPENDIX IIC ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT OF GREATEST JOY GROUP

to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilised. Such assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from goodwill or from the initial recognition (other then in a business combination) of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for taxable temporary differences arising on investments in a subsidiary and an associate, except where the Group is able to control the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.

Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the liability is settled or the asset is realised. Deferred tax is charged or credited to profit or loss.

Financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised on the balance sheet when a group entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments. Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities on initial recognition.

Financial assets

The Group’s financial assets are loans and receivables.

Effective interest method

The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset and of allocating interest income over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts (including transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life of the financial asset, or, where appropriate, a shorter period to the net carrying amount on initial recognition.

Interest income is recognised on an effective interest basis.

Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. At each balance sheet date subsequent to initial recognition, loans and receivables (including amount due from a subsidiary and bank balances) are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any identified impairment losses (see accounting policy on impairment loss on financial assets below).

Impairment of financial assets

Financial assets are assessed for indicators of impairment at each balance sheet dates. Financial assets are impaired where there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the financial asset, the estimated future cash flows of the financial assets have been affected. Objective evidence of impairment could include:

  • significant financial difficulty of the issuer or counterparty; or

  • default or delinquency in interest or principal payments; or

  • it becoming probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or financial re-organisation.

– IIC-10 –

APPENDIX IIC ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT OF GREATEST JOY GROUP

For financial assets carried at amortised cost, an impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss when there is objective evidence that the asset is impaired, and is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the original effective interest rate.

For financial assets measured at amortised cost, if, in a subsequent period, the amount of impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment losses was recognised, the previously recognised impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss to the extent that the carrying amount of the asset at the date the impairment is reversed does not exceed what the amortised cost would have been had the impairment not been recognised.

Financial liabilities and equity

Financial liabilities and equity instruments issued by a group entity are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.

An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the Group after deducting all of its liabilities.

Effective interest method

The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial liability and of allocating interest expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments through the expected life of the financial liability, or, where appropriate, a shorter period to the net carrying amount on initial recognition.

Interest expense is recognised on an effective interest basis.

Financial liabilities

Financial liabilities including amount due to a related company and amount due to immediate holding company are subsequently measured at amortised cost, using the effective interest method.

Equity instrument

Equity instruments issued by the Company are recorded at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.

Derecognition

Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the assets expire or, the financial assets are transferred and the Group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial assets. On derecognition of a financial asset, the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable is recognised in profit or loss.

Financial liabilities are derecognised when the obligation specified in the relevant contract is discharged, cancelled or expired. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognised and the consideration paid and payable is recognised in profit or loss.

Impairment losses on tangible assets

At each balance sheet date, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised as an expense immediately.

– IIC-11 –

APPENDIX IIC ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT OF GREATEST JOY GROUP

Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised as income immediately.

5. CAPITAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Group manages its capital to ensure that entities in the Group will be able to continue as a going concern while maximising the return to shareholders through the optimisation of the debt and equity balance.

The capital structure of the Group consists of debt, which mainly includes amount due to a related company and amount due to immediate holding company disclosed in note 16, and equity comprising issued share capital and reserves.

The directors of the Group review the capital structure regularly. As part of this review, the directors consider the cost of capital and the risks associated with each class of capital. Based on recommendation of the directors, the Group will balance its overall capital structure through the issues of new shares, new debts or the redemption of existing debt.

6b. Financial risk management objectives and policies

The Group’s major financial instruments include, bank balances, amount due to a related company and amount due to immediate holding company. Details of the financial instruments are disclosed in respective notes. The risks associated with these financial instruments include currency risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The policies on how to mitigate these risks are set out below. The management manages and monitors these exposures to ensure appropriate measures are implemented on a timely and effective manner.

Market risk

Currency risk

Certain bank balances, amount due to a related company and amount due to immediate holding company of the Group are denominated in foreign currencies, which expose the Group to foreign currency risk. The Group currently does not have a foreign currency hedging policy. However, the management monitors foreign exchange exposure by closely monitoring the movement of foreign currency rate. The currency risk of the Company is insignificant.

Sensitivity analysis

The following table details the Group’s sensitivity to a 5% increase and decrease in RMB against the relevant foreign currencies. 5% is the sensitivity rate used which represents management’s assessment of the reasonably possible change in foreign exchange rates. The sensitivity analysis includes only outstanding foreign currency denominated monetary items and adjusts their translation at the year end for a 5% change in foreign currency rates. A positive/negative number below indicates a decrease/increase in loss for the period/year where RMB strengthen 5% against the relevant currency. For a 5% weakening of RMB against the relevant currency, there would be an equal and opposite impact on the loss for the period/year.

**Hong Kong ** dollar **United States ** dollar
2007 2008 2007 2008
RMB’000 RMB’000 RMB’000 RMB’000
Loss for the period/year 1 68,084 (1)

Credit risk

As at 31 December 2008, the Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk which will cause a financial loss to the Group due to failure to discharge an obligation by the counterparties is arising from the carrying amount of the respective recognised financial assets as stated in the consolidated balance sheet.

The credit risk on liquid funds is limited because the counterparties are banks with high credit ratings assigned by international credit rating agencies.

Liquidity risk

The Group has net current liabilities and net liabilities amounting to approximately RMB1,368,775,000 and RMB251,631,000, respectively, at 31 December 2008. The Group is exposed to liquidity risk of being unable to raise sufficient funds to meet its financial obligations when they fall due.

– IIC-13 –

APPENDIX IIC ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT OF GREATEST JOY GROUP

To manage the liquidity risk, the Group monitors and maintains a level of cash and cash equivalents deemed adequate by the management to finance the Group’s operations and mitigate the effects of fluctuations in cash flows.

As mentioned in Note 1, the immediate holding company has agreed not to demand for repayment of the amount due to immediate holding company and to provide additional funding to the Group such that the Group is able to meet its financial obligations in full as they fall due for the foreseeable future.

The following table details the Group’s remaining contractual maturity for its financial liabilities. The table has been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities based on the earliest date on which the Group can be required to pay. All financial liabilities are non-interest bearing. The table therefore includes only principal cash flows.

9. INCOME TAX EXPENSE

Income tax expense for the year ended 31 December 2008 represents the current tax charge of approximately RMB1,082,000 and deferred tax charge of approximately RMB10,990,000 (note 17) in respect of the PRC dividend withholding tax.

On 12 September 2008, the associate was required by the PRC government to increase its registered capital in order to obtain approval to increase its production capacity. The associate increased its registered capital by RMB1,000,000,000 through recapitalisation of its undistributed earnings, out of which approximately RMB886,258,000 was recapitalised from its earnings subsequent to 1 January 2008. Such recapitalisation is deemed to be a distribution to the Group and accordingly, a provision for PRC dividend withholding tax of approximately RMB6,008,000 and RMB1,082,000 has been recognised for the period from 1 January 2008 to the date of acquisition of the associate and from the date of acquisition onwards, based on the applicable tax rate of 5% on approximately RMB120,162,000 and RMB21,639,000 deemed distribution to the Group, respectively. The provision for PRC pre-acquisition dividend withholding tax of approximately RMB6,008,000 has been directly debited to the cost of investment in an associate as disclosed in note 13.

The Company is tax exempt under the laws of the BVI. No provision for Hong Kong Profits Tax has been made in the consolidated financial statements as the Company’s subsidiary incorporated in Hong Kong has no assessable profit for Relevant Periods.

On 26 June 2008, the Hong Kong Legislative Council passed the Revenue Bill 2008 which reduced corporate profits tax rate from 17.5% to 16.5% effective from the year of assessment 2008/2009. Therefore, Hong Kong Profits Tax is calculated at 17.5% and 16.5% of the estimated assessable profit for the period ended 31 December 2007 and year ended 31 December 2008, respectively, if any.

On 27 May 2008, the Group acquired 16% equity interest 江蘇中能硅業科技發展有限公司 Jiangsu Zhongneng Polysilicon Technology Development Co., Ltd. (“JZPTD”) from the then shareholders of JZPTD at aggregate considerations of approximately RMB1,369,833,000. JZPTD is engaged in manufacture and sale of polysilicon and wafer products. The Group is considered to be able to exercise significant influence over JZPTD because it has the power to appoint one out of the nine directors of that company. Upon acquisition, the Group has identified an intangible asset in respect of outstanding long term contracts signed with third parties for polysilicon and wafer products. The intangible asset is measured at the fair value of RMB8,332,000,000, determined by reference to a valuation performed by Jones Lang LaSalle Sallmanns Limited (“Jones Lang LaSalle Sallmanns”), an independent international business valuer at 27 May 2008. The fair value of the intangible asset of approximately RMB1,333,280,000 and the corresponding deferred tax liability of approximately RMB199,992,000, attributable to the Group has been recognised on the same date. Goodwill of RMB9,615,000 arising on acquisition of an associate during the year ended 31 December 2008 has been recognised.

Note:

The amount included amortisation of approximately RMB88,885,000 and impairment loss of the intangible asset acquired of approximately RMB418,757,000, net of tax effect of approximately RMB80,187,000, attributable to the Group from the date of acquisition to 31 December 2008.

The Group has assessed the impairment loss of intangible asset by reference to a business valuation performed by Jones Lang LaSalle Sallmanns at 31 December 2008, using income approach. That calculation uses cash flow projections based on financial budgets approved by management covering a seven-year period at a discount rate of 15.08%. Other key assumptions for the valuation relate to the estimation of cash inflow/outflows which include budget sales and gross margin. Such estimation is based on the associate’s past performance and management’s expectations for the market development. Based on the valuation, the Group has recognised impairment loss of intangible assets of approximately RMB418,757,000, net of tax effect of approximately RMB80,187,000 attributable to the Group from the date of acquisition to 31 December 2008, due to the revision of the terms of those outstanding long term contracts.

14. AMOUNT DUE FROM A SUBSIDIARY

The amount due from a subsidiary is non-trade related, unsecured, non-interest bearing and is repayable on demand.

15. BANK BALANCES

Bank balances carry interest at market rates which at 3.85% per annum for the period ended 31 December 2007 and range from 0.04% to 1.60% per annum for the year ended 31 December 2008.

APPENDIX III MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THE FINANCIAL POSITION OF THE GROUP

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THE FINANCIAL POSITION OF THE GROUP

For the year ended 31 December 2008

OVERVIEW

Acquisition of new power plants

The acquisition of 100% equity interest of Xilingol Guotai Wind Power Generation Co., Ltd., (“Huitengliang Wind Power Plant”) and 49% equity interest of China Resources Golden Concord (Beijing) Cogeneration Power Co., Ltd, (“China Resources Beijing Cogeneration Plant”) were completed in the first quarter of the year. For the Huitengliang Wind Power Plant, the Group has the right to develop a wind generation power plant with a total installed capacity of 49.5 MW in Inner Mongolia. This was the first wind generation power plant of the Group.

Generation Capacity

As at 31 December 2008, the Group (including subsidiaries and associated power plants) operates 14 coal-fuelled cogeneration plants and resources comprehensive utilization plants, 2 gas-fuelled cogeneration plants, 2 biomass cogeneration plants and 1 solid waste incineration plant, with an attributable installed capacity of 697.8MW and an attributable steam extraction capacity of 1,756.4 tonne/h, representing an increase of 17.4% and 12.4% respectively as compared to attributable installed capacity of 594.3MW and attributable steam extraction capacity of 1,562.4 tonne/h as at 31 December 2007. The increase was mainly due to the acquisition of 49% equity interest in China Resources Beijing Cogeneration plant and the expansion of installed capacity in Lianyungang Xinneng Cogeneration Plant and Puyuan Cogeneration Plant during the year.

Employees

The Group considers its employees as its most important resources. As at 31 December 2008, the Group had approximately 2,045 employees in Hong Kong and the PRC. Total employee costs for the year ended 31 December 2008, including directors’ emoluments, amounted to RMB167.0 million. Employee remuneration is based on individual performance, working experience, qualifications and the prevailing industry practice. Apart from basic remuneration and statutory retirement benefit schemes, employee benefits include discretionary bonus and share options granted to eligible employees.

The management believes the Group’s success and long-term growth depends upon the quality, performance and commitment of our employees. To this end, the Group sponsored a number of training and development programmes for its employees at various levels in 2008.

Gross profit margin

Overall gross profit margin for the year was 13.5% compared to 19.6% for the same period last year. The decrease stemmed from the substantial surge in coal price in 2008.

Other income

Other income amounted to RMB168.5 million for the year ended 31 December 2008, representing a 54.2% increase from RMB109.2 million for the same period last year. The increase was mainly due to the consolidation of the first full year of other income from the acquisition of subsidiaries and the increase in (1) government subsidies income granted by the local government during the year, (2) revenue from technical support and consultation services provided to customers; and (3) revenue of scrap materials.

Finance costs

The finance costs of the Group for the year 2008 were RMB258.7 million, representing an increase of 60.2% compared to RMB161.5 million in 2007. The increase was mainly due to the consolidation of the first full year’s finance costs from the acquisition of subsidiaries.

APPENDIX III MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THE FINANCIAL POSITION OF THE GROUP

Share of results of associates

For the year ended 31 December 2008, share of results of associates was derived mainly from the Group’s share of 49% profit in China Resources Beijing Cogeneration Plant which was acquired in January 2008.

Income tax

Income tax expenses for the year ended 31 December 2008 were RMB27.1 million, as compared with a credit of RMB4.0 million for the year ended 31 December 2007. The increase was due to the Group being subject to withholding taxes on dividend income for those subsidiaries established in the PRC beginning 1 January 2008. Apart from that, Suzhou Cogeneration Plant was no longer entitled to full tax exemption since 1 January 2008.

Profit attributable to equity holders of the Company

Profit attributable to equity holders of the Company amounted to RMB131.3 million, compared with a loss of RMB266.7 million in 2007. The loss in 2007 was mainly due to a loss on valuation of the fair value of a convertible note issued.

Liquidity and financial resources

2008 2007
RMB million RMB million
Net cash from operating activities 643.8 214.0
Net cash used in investing activities (489.6) (124.0)
Net cash (used in)/from financing activities (531.9) 538.3

Net cash from operating activities represented the main source of cash for the Group. The net cash from operating activities in 2008 amounted to RMB643.8 million which was higher than RMB214.0 million in 2007 due to the increase in profit from operations. Net cash used in investing activities was mainly used in the acquisition of a 49% equity interest in China Resources Beijing Cogeneration Plant, properties, power generation plant and machinery. The main financing activities of the Group in 2008 were repayments of loans and bank interest and drawdown of new borrowings. During the year, the Group repaid loans of RMB1,755.3 million and drew down new loans of RMB1,524.8 million.

The Group’s net current liabilities as at 31 December 2008 were RMB1,134.6 million which was higher than RMB409.6 million in the previous year. The increase in net current liabilities was mainly due to the increase in long term investments and that approximately RMB390.8 million long term borrowings as at 31 December 2007 became short-term borrowings in 2008. In view of the fact that the Company’s nature of business is utility related and the Group’s profitable performance in 2008, the Board is confident that these

– III-3 –

APPENDIX III MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THE FINANCIAL POSITION OF THE GROUP

short-term borrowings will be renewed by the banks on their respective due dates. As at the reporting date, the Group has renewed short-term bank borrowings of approximately RMB151.5 million with corresponding maturity dates extending to 2010. Subsequent to year end, the Group has obtained direct confirmations from certain banks stating that they do not foresee any reasons to withdraw the existing facilities of the above mentioned short-term bank borrowings in the aggregate amount of RMB1,093.7 million in the foreseeable future and expect to renew the relevant loan facilities with similar terms upon maturity. The Group has also obtained additional banking facilities of approximately RMB120.0 million from banks to fund operations subsequent to year end.

To manage liquidity risk, the Group regularly monitors current and expected liquidity requirements to ensure that it maintains sufficient reserves of cash in the short and long term. The directors of the Company believe that the Group will have sufficient cash resources to fund its operations for at least the next 12 months.

As at 31 December 2008, the Group’s total assets were RMB7,069.5 million (2007: RMB6,866.8 million). As at 31 December 2008, the bank balances, cash and pledged bank deposits held by the Group amounted to RMB701.1 million (2007: RMB1,046.0 million).

Borrowings

As at 31 December 2008, the Group’s total borrowings amounted to RMB3,249.2 million (2007: RMB3,479.7 million).

As at 31 December 2008, all of the Group’s borrowings were denominated in RMB. The borrowings carry both fixed and floating rate interest at rates with reference to the Benchmark Borrowing Rate of The People’s Bank of China.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Revenue and operating profit

Revenue and operating profit for the year ended 31 December 2007 was RMB1,844.7 million and RMB262.5 million respectively, compared to RMB933.4 million and RMB171.4 million in 2006. The sharp increase in revenue and operating profit was mainly attributable to the results of Suzhou Cogeneration Plant, which was previously equity accounted for as an associate, having been consolidated as a subsidiary of the Group in March 2007 after the Group obtained control over its operating and financial policies. In addition, the results of the acquisitions of Taicang Poly Cogeneration Plant, Dongtai Cogeneration Plant, Jiaxing Cogeneration Plant, Peixian Cogeneration Plant, Xuzhou Cogeneration Plant, Puyuan Cogeneration Plant and Suzhou Fuel Company (collectively the “New Acquisitions”) were included in the consolidated income statement from the respective effective dates of such acquisitions.

Gross profit

Gross profit in 2007 amounted to RMB213.9 million, representing an increase of RMB9.5 million, from RMB204.4 million in 2006. It was mainly attributable to the expansion and upgrade of the existing power plants. In addition, a full year operation for 2007 has been recorded for Taicang Incineration Plant and Xinneng Cogeneration Plant, which commenced operations in October 2006 and in November 2006, respectively. Gross profit margin decreased slightly to 20.3% in 2007 from 21.9% in 2006 mainly due to the increase in coal price.

– III-6 –

APPENDIX III MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THE FINANCIAL POSITION OF THE GROUP

Share of results of associates

The Group’s share of results of associates dropped significantly by RMB28.1 million in 2007 from RMB47.9 million to RMB19.8 million. This was mainly due to the transfer of Suzhou Cogeneration Plant from an associate to a subsidiary. In addition, following the further acquisitions of equity interests in the Dongtai Cogeneration Plant, Jiaxing Cogeneration Plant, Peixian Cogeneration Plant, Taicang Poly Cogeneration Plant and Xuzhou Cogeneration Plant, all these plants which were accounted for as associates of the Group are now fully consolidated as our subsidiaries.

Loss from non-recurring items

Upon the listing of the Shares on the Stock Exchange, the Group recorded a loss on the fair value of the convertible note of RMB339.7 million due to the conversion of the convertible amount and the redemption of the convertible note together with accrued interest. The fair value of the convertible note at the conversion date is determined based on the fair value of the Shares issued and cash paid by the Company to the holder of the convertible note. The loss is a non-cash transaction and will not recur as the convertible note was extinguished immediately after the listing of the Shares on the Stock Exchange. The Group has also recorded a net amount of RMB28.2 million representing listing expenses, net of subscription interest income. In addition, the Group has recorded a discount on the acquisition of a subsidiary of RMB3.2 million. If all these non-recurring items are excluded, the profit attributable to Shareholders from ordinary operations would be RMB98.0 million compared to RMB86.6 million in 2006.

Loss for the year

As a result of the above factors, the Group recorded a loss of RMB211.8 million for the year ended 31 December 2007 as compared with a profit of RMB87.9 million for the year ended 31 December 2006.

Liquidity and financial resources

For the year ended 31 December 2007, the Group’s primary sources of funding were cash generated from operating and financing activities, including the issuance of new Shares on 13 November 2007 and new bank loans. The Group’s principal liquidity requirements were for the redemption of the loan amount of the non-convertible portion of the convertible note together with accrued interest, new investment financing and capital expenditures.

The Group’s net current liabilities as at 31 December 2007 were RMB409.6 million (2006: RMB324.6 million). This was because the Group’s capital expenditures were mainly financed by short-term borrowings and these short-term borrowings are expected to be renewable on an annual basis.

– III-7 –

APPENDIX III MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THE FINANCIAL POSITION OF THE GROUP

To manage the liquidity risk, the Group regularly monitors current and expected liquidity requirements to ensure that it maintains sufficient reserves of cash in the short and long term. In particular, subsequent to 31 December 2007, the Group has obtained confirmations from lending banks to the effect that they agree to renew their short-term loan facilities in the aggregate amount of RMB889.2 million outstanding as of 31 December 2007.

As at 31 December 2007, Shareholders’ funds increased to RMB2,636.9 million as compared to RMB522.1 million as at 31 December 2006. The sharp increase was mainly attributable to the issue of new shares to Poly Investment (HK) Limited for the acquisition of its interests in certain power plants, conversion of the convertible portion of the convertible note and the issuance of new Shares to the public upon the listing of the Shares on the Stock Exchange on 13 November 2007.

As at 31 December 2007, the Group’s total assets were RMB6,866.8 million as compared with RMB3,364.3 million in 2006. Bank balances and cash including pledged bank deposits were RMB1,046.0 million as compared with RMB342.8 million in 2006.

Borrowings

As at 31 December 2007, the Group’s total borrowings amounted to RMB3,479.7 million as compared with RMB1,539.0 million in 2006.

As at 31 December 2007, all the Group’s borrowings were denominated in RMB. The borrowings carry both fixed and floating rate interest at rates with reference to the Benchmark Borrowing Rate of The People’s Bank of China.

Foreign currency risk

Most of the Group’s fuel costs and operating expenses, including our salaries and other personnel costs and other purchases, sales and administration costs, are denominated in RMB, and we collect all of our revenue in RMB. The Group expects to continue to incur a significant portion of its operating costs, and to recognise operating revenue in RMB. The Group foreign currency exposure currently relates only to the proceeds raised from the listing of the Shares on the Stock Exchange not yet utilised and hence deposited in US dollars and HK dollars bank accounts.

Pursuant to a reorganisation to rationalise the structure of the Group in preparation for the public listing of the Shares on the Stock Exchange, the Company became the holding company of the then subsidiaries of the Group.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Revenue

For the year ended 31 December 2006, revenue increased by 7.8% from RMB866.1 million during the year ended 31 December 2005, to RMB933.4 million. This was mainly due to increasing volume of steam sales to existing and new customers and the fact that the Lianyungang Xiexin Cogeneration Plant and the Baoying Cogeneration Plant commenced full year of commercial production of steam in 2006.

APPENDIX III MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THE FINANCIAL POSITION OF THE GROUP

Gross profit and gross margin

Gross profit increased significantly to RMB204.4 million during the year ended 31 December 2006, as compared to RMB154.8 million during the year ended 31 December 2005. Gross margin in 2006 was 21.9%, as compared with 17.9% in 2005. The increase in gross margin principally reflects the fact that the Group was able to produce more energy with the same amount of fuel resulting in improved thermal efficiency of its power plants during the comparable period.

Other income

Other income increased by 36.7% to RMB37.8 million during the year ended 31 December 2006, as compared to RMB27.6 million during the year ended 31 December 2005. The increase in other income partly reflects an increase in government subsidies and interest income during the year ended 31 December 2006.

Loss on increase in fair value of convertible note

The Company issued the convertible note on 7 November 2006. The fair value of the convertible note is measured at each balance sheet date. Any change in the fair value is recognised as profit or loss in the income statement. For the year ended 31 December 2006, the increase in fair value of the convertible note resulted in a loss of RMB88.8 million.

Share in results of associates

The share in results of associates was derived from the share in the results of Suzhou, Dongtai, Jiaxing, Peixian, Taicang Poly and Xuzhou Cogeneration Plant. The Group acquired its equity interest in each of the associated cogeneration as a result of the corporate reorganization in July 2006.

Income tax

Income tax expenses of RMB3.5 million were recorded during the year ended 31 December 2006, as compared with an income tax credit of RMB0.2 million during the year ended 31 December 2005, reflecting the fact that certain power plants, including Fengxian Cogeneration Plant, the Haimen Cogeneration Plant and the Kunshan Cogeneration Plant, had started to make assessable profits.

Profit for the year

The profit for the year was RMB87.9 million for the year ended 31 December 2006, as compared to RMB55.6 million for the year ended 31 December 2005.

APPENDIX IVA MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THE FINANCIAL POSITION OF TARGET GROUP A

BUSINESS REVIEW

Production

Target Group A supplies polysilicon and wafers to companies operating in the solar industry. Polysilicon is the primary raw material for wafers used in the solar and the electronics industries. It manufactures polysilicon at the production facilities of its operating company, Jiangsu Zhongneng, which are located in Xuzhou, Jiangsu Province, China. Jiangsu Zhongneng was founded in March 2006 and upon completion and full production capacity ramp-up of its planned expansion to 21,000 MT per year by December 2010, the management of Target Group A believes Jiangsu Zhongneng will be one of the leading polysilicon producers globally in terms of production capacity. Jiangsu Zhongneng began selling wafers through tolling arrangements with third party manufacturers in the second quarter of 2008 and expects wafer sales to contribute a majority of its revenue after 2009. Jiangsu Zhongneng also intends to construct its own in-house wafer and ingot manufacturing facilities in the near future. Jiangsu Zhongneng commenced construction of its Xuzhou Phase I production facility, which produces solar grade polysilicon, in July 2006, and produced its first batch of polysilicon in September 2007. Jiangsu Zhongneng made its first commercial shipment of polysilicon in October 2007. During the years ended 31 December 2007, 31 December 2008 and the three months ended 31 March 2009, Jiangsu Zhongneng produced 154 MT, 1,850 MT and 1,094 MT of polysilicon, respectively.

Jiangsu Zhongneng ramped up its Xuzhou Phase I production facility to its designed annual capacity of 1,500 MT in March 2008. Jiangsu Zhongneng commenced commercial production of its Xuzhou Phase II production facility in July 2008 and the facility was fully ramped up by December 2008. In December 2007, Jiangsu Zhongneng commenced preparation for the construction of its Xuzhou Phase III production facility, which is expected to have an aggregate annual production capacity of 15,000 MT. Jiangsu Zhongneng’s Xuzhou Phase III production facility commenced commercial production in December 2008. Jiangsu Zhongneng intends to fully ramp up its Xuzhou Phase III production facility by December 2009. By then, Jiangsu Zhongneng’s total annual polysilicon production capacity will reach 18,000 MT. With further technical improvements, Jiangsu Zhongneng’s total annual polysilicon production capacity should reach 21,000 MT by December 2010. Jiangsu Zhongneng has implemented proven technologies in its polysilicon production facilities. It utilises a modified Siemens process to produce polysilicon and, starting from Xuzhou Phase II onwards, its production facilities are designed to produce both solar and electronic grade polysilicon.

Jiangsu Zhongneng intends to construct wafer and ingot production facilities in the near future as well as explore opportunities to further expand its wafer production capacity through strategic acquisitions and partnerships. Until Jiangsu Zhongneng has sufficient in-house wafer production capacity, it will continue to rely on wafer tolling arrangements to support its wafer sales.

– IVA-1 –

APPENDIX IVA MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THE FINANCIAL POSITION OF TARGET GROUP A

Revenue

Jiangsu Zhongneng’s polysilicon revenue is determined by the amount of MT of polysilicon that it is able to sell as well as the average selling prices of its polysilicon. Jiangsu Zhongneng’s wafer revenue is determined based upon the number of wafers that it is able to sell as well as the average selling prices of its wafers. Through September 30, 2007, Jiangsu Zhongneng had no revenue and its production prior to that date was minimal. For the year ended 31 December 2007, Jiangsu Zhongneng sold 153 MT of polysilicon, all in the last quarter. For the year ended 31 December 2008, Jiangsu Zhongneng sold 1,530 MT of polysilicon and 39.2 MW of wafers. Target Group A and Jiangsu Zhongneng’s revenue for the years ended 31 December 2007 and 2008 were RMB301.8 million and RMB3,521.4 million, respectively.

Jiangsu Zhongneng has entered into polysilicon and wafer supply agreements with cell and module manufacturers that provide aggregate sales of approximately 15.4 GW of wafers and approximately 33,311 MT of polysilicon from 2008 up to 2015. Prior to entering into these supply agreements, Jiangsu Zhongneng sold all of its polysilicon on the spot market to major Chinese solar manufacturers.

Jiangsu Zhongneng has been operating in one business segment, being the manufacture and sale of polysilicon and related products. Jiangsu Zhongneng has determined that it has one primary geographical segment as its operations are substantially carried in the PRC, and its production facilities and other operating assets are substantially located in the PRC.

Cost of sales

Jiangsu Zhongneng’s cost of sales in respect of polysilicon sales is affected primarily by its ability to control raw material costs, to achieve economies of scale in its operations and to efficiently manage its supply chain.

Cost of sales in Jiangsu Zhongneng’s operations primarily consists of:

TCS. Jiangsu Zhongneng uses TCS to produce polysilicon. TCS is one of the main and most costly production inputs and, until 31 December 2008, Jiangsu Zhongneng relied heavily on third party suppliers for its TCS requirements. To reduce its reliance on TCS from third party suppliers, Jiangsu Zhongneng is increasingly incorporating TCS production into its own production process. Jiangsu Zhongneng integrated the hydrochlorination process in its Xuzhou Phase I production facility in February 2008 and in its Xuzhou Phase II production facility in September 2008. The hydrochlorination process for Xuzhou Phase III has started operating in February 2009 and will be further ramped up throughout 2009. For the year ended 31 December 2008, the three months ending March 31, 2009 and the month ended 31 May 2009, approximately 20.9%, 37.3% and 77.2% of the TCS that Jiangsu Zhongneng consumed, respectively, was produced in-house. Taixing, one of Target Group A’s subsidiaries, constructed a TCS production facility with an annual production capacity of 20,000 MT in Taizhou, Jiangsu Province, China, which

– IVA-2 –

APPENDIX IVA MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THE FINANCIAL POSITION OF TARGET GROUP A

commenced commercial production in September 2008. Jiangsu Zhongneng has already successfully used the TCS produced through Taixing in its own polysilicon production process. The management of Target Group A expects its process integration initiatives will substantially reduce Jiangsu Zhongneng’s reliance on third parties for its TCS requirements as well as its TCS costs in the future.

Electricity. The cost of electricity is a substantial component of Jiangsu Zhongneng’s total cost of sales. It sources electricity from the Xuzhou Electricity Company at market prices, which can vary.

Tolling fees. Jiangsu Zhongneng pays tolling fees in connection with the wafers it sells to its customers. Before Jiangsu Zhongneng commences in-house production of wafers, it will pay a per wafer tolling fee on all its sales of wafers.

Other materials and inputs. The production of polysilicon requires water, steam, metallurgical silicon, or MG-Si, sulphuric acid and sodium hydroxide as the most significant inputs. In respect of such inputs, Jiangsu Zhongneng purchases water on long-term contracts and the other products on the spot market.

General and administrative expenses

Target Group A’s general and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and benefits for its administrative and finance personnel, other travel and other corporate expenses, professional fees for consultants and experts, bank charges and the depreciation of equipment used for administrative purposes.

Research and development expenses

Target Group A’s research and development expenses have been minimal as Target Group A has focused on initial production. Research and development expenses have been included in general and administrative expenses. Target Group A’s research and development expenses consist primarily of raw materials costs used in research and development activities, salaries and employee benefits for research and development personnel, and equipment costs relating to the design, development, testing and enhancement of Jiangsu Zhongneng’s production process.

Selling and marketing expenses

Target Group A incurred no material selling and marketing expenses through 31 December 2008. To date, Target Group A’s selling expenses have been included in general and administrative expenses. Target Group A’s selling and marketing expenses consist primarily of advertising costs, packaging and shipping costs, salaries and employee benefits of sales personnel, sales-related travel and entertainment expenses and other selling and marketing expenses including sales commissions paid to its sales agents.

APPENDIX IVA MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THE FINANCIAL POSITION OF TARGET GROUP A

Taxation

Prior to 1 January 2008, Jiangsu Zhongneng was subject to PRC enterprise income tax at a rate of 33.0%, which included a 30.0% state income tax and a 3.0% local income tax. For the year ended 31 December 2007, Jiangsu Zhongneng was exempt from local income tax. As of 1 January 2008, Jiangsu Zhongneng became subject to the new Enterprise Income Tax Law, which provides for a national 25% rate applicable to most enterprises and replaces the prior income tax rate subject to the benefits that had previously been granted.

Jiangsu Zhongneng has received approval for a two-year tax exemption from the enterprise income tax for the years ended 31 December 2008 and 2009 and will be taxed at 50.0% of the new Enterprise Income Tax tax rate for the years ending 31 December 2010, 2011 and 2012, providing a tax rate of 12.5%.

In addition, under the new Enterprise Income Tax Law, an enterprise established outside of the PRC with “de facto management bodies” within the PRC may be considered a resident enterprise and will normally be subject to enterprise income tax at the rate of 25% of its global income. The rule implementing the Enterprise Income Tax Law provides that the term “de facto management bodies” refers to management bodies which have material management and control over all aspects of the business, including without limitation, the production, operation, personnel, finance, and assets of the enterprise. However, it is still unclear if the PRC tax authorities would subsequently determine that, notwithstanding GCL Solar’s status as the Cayman Islands holding company of Target Group A operating business in the PRC, with administrative headquarters and personnel in Hong Kong, GCL Solar should be classified as a resident enterprise, whereby its global income will be subject to PRC income tax at a rate of 25%. In any event, Target Group A does not expect to derive substantial earnings from outside the PRC in the foreseeable future. A foreign investor would be subject to a 10% tax for dividends received from its PRC enterprise, provided that such foreign investor does not set up any entity in China. However, as Jiangsu Zhongneng is owned directly by GCL Solar HK, which is a non-resident enterprise, and as Hong Kong has an arrangement with the PRC under which the tax rate from dividend income is 5%, dividends paid by Jiangsu Zhongneng would be subject to a 5% withholding tax.

Pursuant to the Interim Regulations on Value Added Tax and its Implementation Rules issued in 1993, all entities and individuals that are engaged in the sale of goods, the provision of repairs and replacement services and the importation of goods in China are generally required to pay value-added tax (“VAT”), at a rate of 17% of the gross sales proceeds received. The management of Target Group A anticipates that most of Target Group A’s initial sales will be made domestically.

Target Group A expects to have minimal taxable income in jurisdictions other than China. Under current laws of the Cayman Islands, GCL Solar is not subject to income or capital gains tax. Additionally, dividend payments made by GCL Solar are not subject to withholding tax in the Cayman Islands.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

For the year ended 31 December 2008

Revenue and cost of sales

Revenue for the year ended 31 December 2008 was RMB3,521.4 million, representing an increase of 10.7 times from RMB301.8 million for the year ended 31 December 2007. This significant increase was primarily due to Jiangsu Zhongneng only commencing its operations in the last quarter of 2007. Jiangsu Zhongneng fully ramped up its Xuzhou Phase I and Xuzhou Phase II polysilicon production facilities during 2008 and hence, more polysilicon was produced and sold. Cost of sales for the year ended 31 December 2008 was RMB966.8 million, a 10.9 times increase from RMB81.2 million for the year ended 31 December 2007.

Gross profit and gross profit margin

Target Group A’s gross profit increased 10.6 times from RMB220.5 million for the year ended 31 December 2007 to RMB2,554.7 million for the year ended 31 December 2008. This increase was mainly attributable to the full year effect of 2008 as Jiangsu Zhongneng made its first commercial shipment of polysilicon in October 2007. Gross profit margin decreased slightly from 73.1% for the year ended 31 December 2007 to 72.5% for the year ended 31 December 2008 as a result of a decrease in average selling price.

Other income

Other income amounted to RMB68.5 million for the year ended 31 December 2008, representing a 3.9 times increase from RMB14.1 million for the year ended 31 December 2007. The increase was mainly attributable to an increase in foreign exchange gains, bank interest income and government grants. Jiangsu Zhongneng received government grants to subsidise the construction of its property in 2008. These grants have been recorded in other deferred income and are transferred to income over the useful lives of the property.

Administrative expenses

Administrative expenses amounted to RMB213.7 million for the year ended 31 December 2008, representing an increase of 77.2% from RMB120.6 million for the year ended 31 December 2007. This increase was primarily due to i) increase in salaries and other staff costs as a result of headcount increase; ii) increase in depreciation and other office expenses due to the growth in operating structure; and iii) write off of intangible assets.

Change in fair value of convertible loan note

GCL Solar issued the convertible loan note on 10 September 2007. The fair value of the convertible loan note is measured at each balance sheet date. Any change in the fair value is recognised as profit or loss in the income statement. For the year ended 31 December 2008, the increase in fair value of the convertible loan note resulted in a loss of RMB105.3 million.

Change in fair value of convertible redeemable preferred shares

GCL Solar issued the convertible redeemable preferred shares on 29 August 2007. The fair value of the convertible redeemable preferred shares is measured at each balance sheet date with any change in the fair value being recognised as profit or loss in the income statement. For the year ended 31 December 2008, the decrease in fair value of the convertible redeemable preferred shares resulted in a profit of RMB40.3 million.

Change in fair value of embedded derivative instruments

On 27 June 2008, Jiangsu Zhongneng entered into a long-term wafer machinery supply contract, under which the purchase price of the machinery to be acquired, was denominated in currencies which are not the functional currency used by Jiangsu Zhongneng and accordingly, the contract contains embedded foreign currency forward contracts. The fair value of the embedded derivative instruments are measured at each balance sheet date with any change in the fair value being recognised as profit or loss in the income statement. For the year ended 31 December 2008, the increase in fair value of the embedded derivative instruments resulted in a loss of RMB9.9 million.

Finance cost

Target Group A’s finance cost was RMB72.2 million for the year ended 31 December 2008, representing a 91.0% increase from RMB37.8 million for the year ended 31 December 2007. This was primarily due to i) the full year effect of the interest expenses from GCL Solar’s convertible loan notes which was issued in the September 2007; and ii) increase in interest expenses from Jiangsu Zhongneng’s PRC bank loans.

Net cash from operating activities represented the main source of cash for Target Group A. The net cash from operating activities in 2008 amounted to RMB4,361.3 million, which was higher than RMB147.4 million in 2007 due to the increase in profit from operations and advances received from Jiangsu Zhongneng’s long-term supply agreement customers. Net cash used in investing activities for the year ended 31 December 2008 was mainly cash and deposits paid for the acquisition of properties, plant and machinery and the increase in restricted bank deposits, which was partly offset by proceeds from government grants. The main financing activities of Target Group A in 2008 were repayments of bank borrowings, payment of interest and the drawdown of new bank borrowings. In 2008, Target Group A repaid bank borrowings of RMB1,220.4 million and drew down new bank borrowings of RMB3,730.4 million.

PROPERTY VALUATION REPORT

The following is the text of a letter, summary of values and valuation certificates, prepared for the purpose of incorporation in this circular received from Jones Lang LaSalle Sallmanns Limited, an independent valuer, in connection with its valuation as at 30 April 2009 of the property interests of the Enlarged Group.

==> picture [132 x 42] intentionally omitted <==

30 June 2009

The Board of Directors GCL-Poly Energy Holdings Limited Suites 3601 to 3604, Two Exchange Square 8 Connaught Road Central Hong Kong

Dear Sirs,

In accordance with your instructions to value the properties in which GCL-Poly Energy Holdings Limited (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries (hereinafter together referred to as the “Group”) and GCL Solar Energy Technology Holdings Inc. (the “Target Company”) and their respective subsidiaries (hereinafter together referred to as the “Target Group”) have interests in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”) and Hong Kong, we confirm that we have carried out inspections, made relevant enquiries and searches and obtained such further information as we consider necessary for the purpose of providing you with our opinion of the capital values of the property interests as at 30 April 2009 (the “date of valuation”). For the purpose of this report, the Group and the Target Group are hereinafter together referred to as the Enlarged Group.

Our valuation has been undertaken with regard to the agreements entered into between the Company and various selling shareholders of the Target Company.

Our valuation of the property interests represents the market value which we would define as intended to mean “the estimated amount for which a property should exchange 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 had each acted knowledgeably, prudently, and without compulsion”.

We have valued the property interests of property nos. 2, 15, 17 and 19 in Group I and Group II by direct comparison approach assuming sale of the property interest in its existing state with the benefit of immediate vacant possession and by making reference to comparable sales transactions as available in the relevant market.

– VI-1 –

APPENDIX VI

PROPERTY VALUATION REPORT

Due to the nature of the buildings and structures of property nos. 1, 3 to 14, 16, 18 and 20 to 25 in Group I and Group II and the particular locations in which they are situated, there are unlikely to be relevant market comparable sales readily available. The property interests have therefore been valued on the basis of their depreciated replacement cost.

Depreciated replacement cost is defined as “the current cost of replacement (reproduction) of a property less deductions for physical deterioration and all relevant forms of obsolescence and optimization.” It is based on an estimate of the market value for the existing use of the land, plus the current cost of replacement (reproduction) of the improvements, less deductions for physical deterioration and all relevant forms of obsolescence and optimization. The depreciated replacement cost of the property interest is subject to adequate potential profitability of the concerned business.

In valuing the property interests of certain portion of property no. 1 in Group I and property no. 26 in Group III which are currently under construction, we have assumed that they will be developed and completed in accordance with the latest development proposal provided to us by the Enlarged Group. In arriving at our opinion of value, we have taken into account the construction cost and professional fees relevant to the stage of construction as at the date of valuation and the remainder of the cost and fees to be expended to complete the development.

We have attributed no commercial value to the property interest in Group IV, which has not been assigned to the Target Group as at the date of valuation, thus the title of the property is not invested in the Target Group.

We have attributed no commercial value to the property interests in Group V, Group VI and Group VII, which are leased by the Enlarged Group, due either to the short-term nature of the lease or the prohibition against assignment or sub-letting or otherwise due to the lack of substantial profit rent.

Our valuation has been made on the assumption that the seller sells the property interests in the market without the benefit of a deferred term contract, leaseback, joint venture, management agreement or any similar arrangement, which could serve to affect the values of the property interests.

No allowance has been made in our report for any charge, mortgage or amount owing on any of the property interests valued nor for any expense or taxation which may be incurred in effecting a sale. Unless otherwise stated, it is assumed that the properties are free from encumbrances, restrictions and outgoings of an onerous nature, which could affect their values.

In valuing the property interests, we have complied with all requirements contained in Chapter 5 and Practice Note 12 of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities issued by The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited; the RICS Valuation Standards (6[th] Edition) published by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors; and the HKIS Valuation Standards on Properties (1[st] Edition 2005) published by the Hong Kong Institute of Surveyors.

– VI-2 –

APPENDIX VI

PROPERTY VALUATION REPORT

We have relied to a very considerable extent on the information given by the Enlarged Group and have accepted advice given to us on such matters as tenure, planning approvals, statutory notices, easements, particulars of occupancy, lettings, and all other relevant matters.

We have been shown copies of various title documents including State-owned Land Use Rights Certificates, Building Ownership Certificates and official plans relating to the property interests and have made relevant enquiries. Where possible, we have examined the original documents to verify the existing title to the property interests in the PRC and any material encumbrance that might be attached to the property interests or any tenancy amendment. We have relied considerably on the advice (“Legal Opinion”) given by the Company’s PRC legal advisers – Grandall Legal Group, concerning the validity of the property interests in the PRC.

We have not carried out detailed measurements to verify the correctness of the areas in respect of the properties but have assumed that the areas shown on the title documents and official site plans handed to us are correct. All documents and contracts have been used as reference only and all dimensions, measurements and areas are approximations. No on-site measurement has been taken.

We have inspected the exterior and, where possible, the interior of the properties. However, we have not carried out investigation to determine the suitability of the ground conditions and services for any development thereon. Our valuation has been prepared on the assumption that these aspects are satisfactory and that no unexpected cost and delay will be incurred during construction. Moreover, no structural survey has been made, but in the course of our inspection, we did not note any serious defect. We are not, however, able to report whether the properties are free of rot, infestation or any other structural defect. No tests were carried out on any of the services.

We have had no reason to doubt the truth and accuracy of the information provided to us by the Enlarged Group. We have also sought confirmation from the Enlarged Group that no material factors have been omitted from the information supplied. We consider that we have been provided with sufficient information to arrive an informed view, and we have no reason to suspect that any material information has been withheld.

Unless otherwise stated, all monetary figures stated in this report are in Renminbi (RMB).

The continued turmoil and instability in the financial markets is continuing to cause volatility and uncertainty in the world’s capital markets and real estate markets. There are low levels of liquidity in the real estate market and transaction levels are significantly reduced, resulting in a lack of clarity as to pricing levels and the market drivers. This, combined with a general weakening of sentiment towards real estate, has resulted in a continual reappraisal of local property prices. Many transactions that are occurring involve vendors who are more compelled to sell, or purchasers who will only buy at discounted prices. In this environment, prices and values are going through a period of heightened volatility whilst the market absorbs the various issues and reaches its conclusions. The period required to negotiate a sale may also extend considerably beyond the normally expected period, which would also reflect the nature and size of the property.

  3. We have been provided with a legal opinion regarding the property interest by the Company’s PRC legal advisers, which contains, inter alia , the following:

  4. a. The 2 State-owned Land Use Rights Certificates that Kunshan Cogeneration Plant has obtained are legally valid and under protection of the PRC laws and regulations, notwithstanding the paid land premium is less than the amount stated in the State-owned Land Use Rights Grant Contract. In common practice, it is not likely to pay the overdue land premium, as the local government owes some certain service in return;

  5. b. The 25 Building Ownership Certificates that Kunshan Cogeneration Plant has obtained are legally valid and under protection of the PRC laws and regulations;

  6. c. During the tenures stated in the State-owned Land Use Rights Certificate, Kunshan Cogeneration Plant is entitled to transfer, lease and mortgage the portion of titled property in compliance with relevant PRC laws and regulations;

  7. d. As at the date of this Legal Opinion, a portion of buildings mentioned in note 3 and the land use rights mentioned in note 2 are subject to mortgages in favour of Huaxia Bank Co., Ltd. Suzhou Branch and Bank of Communication Co., Ltd. Kunshan Branch and are restricted by the mortgage; and

There are risks that Kunshan Cogeneration Plant may be required by the relevant authority to dismantle these buildings. Kunshan Cogeneration Plant is in process of obtaining proper title documents for one of the 2 said buildings with gross floor area of approximately 3,949.14 sq.m, which would have no legal impediment . As to the other said building with a gross floor area of approximately 25 sq.m, demolition would have no substantial negative impact on the business operations.
