OVERVIEW

We are a leading manufacturer of wind turbine generators and provider of complete wind power solutions in China. Our primary business is WTG R&D, manufacturing and sales. We also engage in the provision of comprehensive wind power services and the development of wind farms for sale to wind farm operators and investors. As an enterprise with one of the longest track records in the PRC wind power equipment manufacturing industry, we possess substantial technical expertise, strong independent R&D capabilities and have successfully introduced innovative leading edge wind turbine technologies to the PRC market. Most of our core management team have specialized in wind power for many years, and possess significant industry experience in wind energy development and operation, giving us a deep understanding of our client base and their operational needs. Our comprehensive quality assurance system and after-sales service operations have also contributed to achieving our dominant market position. According to the International Wind Energy Development — World Market Update published by BTM, the accumulated installed capacity of WTGs manufactured by us reached 5.3 GW as of December 31, 2009, representing a market share in the PRC of approximately 21%. In 2009, our market share in the PRC in terms of newly installed capacity increased approximately 2 percentage points as compared to the previous year to approximately 20%, ranking us the fifth largest WTG manufacturer globally and the second largest in the PRC. The World Wind Energy Association, or WWEA, awarded us the World Wind Energy Award 2006 for our contribution to the development of the international wind power industry.

  • k For our WTG R&D, manufacturing and sales business, we focus on the research, design, manufacturing and sales of premium quality WTGs with high efficiency and availability. Our main product is currently the 1.5 MW direct-drive permanent magnet WTG, and we also produce the 750 kW stall-regulated WTG. Throughout our corporate history, our customers have primarily been China’s large power producers and other enterprises investing in renewable energy, and our products and services have been sold across the PRC, with over 5,800 of our WTGs installed in 19 of China’s provinces as of March 31, 2010. Apart from our business in the domestic market, we have also embarked on sales of our WTGs in international markets. For the three years ended December 31, 2007, 2008 and 2009, the revenue generated from our WTG R&D, manufacturing and sales business segment was RMB3,079.2 million, RMB6,299.3 million and RMB10,347.4 million, respectively, and accounted for 99.7%, 98.2% and 97.0% of our total revenue.

  • k For our wind power services business, we offer customers a complete range of services covering the whole process of developing a wind farm project, from preliminary investment consultancy and preconstruction project services such as feasibility studies and wind measurement, to project construction services such as EPC contracting, to post-construction operation and maintenance services such as equipment servicing and wind farm operation and maintenance. As of March 31, 2010, we had provided preliminary investment consultancy and pre-construction services for 275 projects, project construction

SUMMARY

services for 123 wind farms, and post-construction operation and maintenance services for 72 wind farms with total installed capacity of 4,129.1 MW. For the three years ended December 31, 2007, 2008 and 2009, the revenue generated from our wind power services business segment was RMB9.8 million, RMB29.5 million and RMB215.4 million, respectively, and accounted for 0.3%, 0.4% and 2.0% of our total revenue.

  • k For our wind farm investment, development and sales business, we are able to provide wind farm operators and investors with completed wind farms that we have invested in and developed, and equipped with our WTGs. As of March 31, 2010, we developed 14 wind farms with total installed capacity of 628.5 MW and attributable installed capacity of 471.5 MW, of which four completed wind farms were sold. We generate income from sale of equity interests in the project companies we set up to develop the wind farms, and income from such sale is recorded under other income and gains. During the Track Record Period, income from sale of completed wind farms was nil, RMB263.1 million and RMB189.8 million, respectively. For our completed wind farms yet to be sold, we put them into operation and generate revenue from the tariffs received from the power generated. As of March 31, 2010, we had three completed wind farms yet to be sold. For the three years ended December 31, 2007, 2008 and 2009, our revenue for this business segment was nil, RMB88.5 million and RMB103.7 million, respectively, and accounted for 0.0%, 1.4% and 1.0% of our total revenue.

We have strategically leveraged the depth of our R&D and manufacturing, services and wind farm development capabilities to achieve synergies among our three business segments and formed an advanced model as a provider of complete solutions covering multiple aspects of the wind power industry value chain. No other PRC WTG manufacturer is engaged in the provision of complete wind power solutions on a scale similar to ours.

Our main product technology is the direct-drive permanent magnet full-power rectification technology, which holds four significant advantages over other wind turbine technologies, being high efficiency, high reliability, superior grid connectivity, and low spare parts and consumable materials requirements. We believe these advantages are greatly valued by our customers and the power grids for whom they generate electricity. We have successfully introduced our specialized wind turbine series, which adopt this technology and are efficiently adapted to the PRC’s diverse operating conditions, including low and high temperatures, high altitude, low wind velocity and coastal areas.

We possess a comprehensive technology development system and have established three R&D centers in Beijing and Urumqi, PRC and Neunkirchen, Germany, where the headquarters of our subsidiary, Vensys AG, is based, with specialized research teams that focus on developing next generation technology and product improvements. We are also engaged in the in-house design and manufacture of core parts and components. This reduces our production cost and also enables us to obtain independent rights for key wind turbine technologies. We have completed the design and production of our 2.5 MW direct-drive permanent magnet WTG and 3.0 MW hybrid-drive WTG prototypes, and achieved successful grid connection. Our 5.0 MW WTG is currently under development. We independently developed our MW-level WTGs through extensive R&D activities focused on our advanced direct-drive permanent magnet full-power rectification technology, whereas most Chinese WTG manufacturers generally acquire wind turbine technologies through licensing. The strength of our R&D capabilities is further evidenced by our ownership of six proprietary technologies, 25 patents, and 39 pending patents as of the Latest Practicable Date. In addition to achieving widespread customer acceptance, we have been called upon by the relevant PRC authorities to lead the drafting of eight national and local wind power industry technical standards, and are currently involved in the drafting of a further three such national standards.

SUMMARY

FINANCIAL DISCLOSURES AFTER GLOBAL OFFERING

Following the listing of our A Shares on the SZSE, we have been subject to periodic reporting and other information disclosure requirements in the PRC and, as a result, may publicly release information in the PRC from time to time. However, such information and the prospectus for the A Share offering do not form part of this prospectus. Further, under the rules of the SZSE, we are required to publish quarterly results of operations in the PRC containing unaudited financial statements. Pursuant to Rule 13.09(2) of the Listing Rules, our Company will release price sensitive information simultaneously in Hong Kong and China after the listing of our H Shares in Hong Kong, including our Company’s quarterly, interim and annual reports released on the SZSE.

PROFIT FORECAST FOR THE YEAR ENDING DECEMBER 31, 2010

Barring unforeseen circumstances, and based on the bases and assumptions set out in Appendix II to this prospectus, the Directors forecast that the consolidated profit attributable to owners of our Company for the year ending December 31, 2010 will be not less than RMB2,235 million.

SUMMARY

DIVIDEND POLICY

After completion of the Global Offering, our Shareholders will be entitled to receive dividends declared by our Company. The proposal of payment and the amount of our dividends will be made at the discretion of the Board and will depend on our general business condition and strategies, cash flows, financial results and capital requirements, interests of the Shareholders, taxation conditions, statutory and regulatory restrictions and other factors that the Board deems relevant. Any dividend distribution shall also be subject to the approval of the Shareholders in the Shareholders’ meeting.

Under the PRC Company Law and the Articles of Association, we will pay dividends out of our after-tax profit only after we have made the following allocations:

  • k recovery of accumulated losses, if any;

  • k allocations to the statutory reserve fund equivalent to 10% of our Company’s after-tax profit; and

  • k allocations, if any, to a discretionary reserve fund approved by the Shareholders in a Shareholders’ meeting.

When the statutory reserve fund reaches and is maintained at or above 50% of our registered capital, no further allocations to this statutory fund will be required. Our profit distributable for the above-mentioned allocations and our dividend distribution shall be our after-tax profit as determined by PRC GAAP or IFRS, whichever is lower. All of our Shareholders have equal rights to dividends and distributions in the form of stock or cash. For holders of our H Shares, cash dividend payments, if any, will be declared by the Board in Renminbi and paid in Hong Kong dollars. According to the Articles of Association, the cumulative profit distribution in cash by our Company for any last-three-most-recent-years period shall be not less than 30% of the average of the same three years’ annual distributable profits.

We distributed dividends in the form of shares and cash amounting to RMB500.0 million and RMB680.0 million during the two years ended December 31, 2007 and 2008, respectively. The Board of Directors on August 31, 2009 and the Shareholders in general meeting on September 25, 2009 approved a resolution that holders of our A Shares are entitled to our distributable profits accumulated prior to January 1, 2010, and holders of our H Shares and A Shares upon the completion of the Global Offering will be equally entitled to our distributable profits accumulated between January 1, 2010 and the Listing Date. On March 25, 2010, our Company’s 2009 annual general meeting approved the distribution of our Company’s consolidated actual distributable profits of RMB1,767.8 million[(1)] . As partial settlement of this distribution, on April 6, 2010, our Company issued 840 million A Shares and paid cash of RMB140.0 million to holders of our A Shares funded with cash from profits generated by our business. On May 26, 2010, our Board of Directors approved the distribution of RMB784.0 million in the form of a cash dividend paid out of our internal cash resources (and not out of our net proceeds from the Global Offering), subject to approval of our Shareholders in a general meeting to be held on June 12, 2010, the settlement date of which will be determined after the general meeting and is expected to be after the Listing. Our H Shareholders shall not be entitled to any portion of this cash dividend. Our PRC legal advisor has confirmed that the declaration and payment of the foregoing dividend distribution is legal and valid under applicable PRC laws and regulations and our Articles of Association. Our historical dividends may not be indicative of the amount of our future dividends.

(1) Equal to the retained profits of our Group in the amount of RMB1,871.0 million as of December 31, 2009 according to PRC GAAP minus the statutory surplus reserve appropriated by our subsidiaries not distributable to our Shareholders, in the amount of RMB103.2 million.

SUMMARY

USE OF PROCEEDS

Assuming an Offer Price of HK$21.40 per H share (which is the mid-point of the indicative Offer Price range set forth on the cover page of the prospectus), we estimate that we will receive net proceeds of approximately HK$8,078.6 million from the Global Offering after deducting the underwriting commissions and other estimated expenses, if the Over-allotment Option is not exercised. If the Over-allotment Option is exercised in full, we estimate that the additional net proceeds to us from the offering of these additional H Shares will be approximately HK$1,211.8 million, after deducting the underwriting commissions and other estimated expenses, assuming an Offer Price of HK$21.40 per H Share.

In line with our strategies, we intend to use our proceeds from the Global Offering for the purposes and in the amounts set out below:

  • k approximately 40.2% will be used for the construction of production bases and optimization of our business operations;

  • k approximately 14.6% will be used for the design and development of more advanced WTGs and certain related components;

  • k approximately 24.1% will be used for expansion into the international market, primarily the United States, Australia and Europe, and promotional activities as described in the section entitled “Business — Our Strategies — Expand into attractive international markets” in this prospectus;

  • k approximately 11.1% will be used for the repayment of bank loans, including, among others (i) two three-year floating term loans in the total amount of EUR16.4 million at an annual interest rate of 120 basis points (bps) above EURIBOR, and EUR20.0 million at an annual interest rate of 115 bps above EURIBOR for the initial 12 months, and subsequently at 115 bps above six-month EURIBOR, which will be due for repayment on March 15, 2011 and April 15, 2011, respectively; (ii) a one-year floating rate short-term bank facility of EUR19.0 million for our subsidiary Vensys AG’s working capital purposes at an annual interest rate of 120 bps above EURIBOR, which will be due on June 15, 2010; (iii) a 10-year term loan in the total amount of EUR3.5 million at an annual interest rate of 7% before June 30, 2013 and adjustable rate after July 1, 2013, which will be due for repayment on September 30, 2018; and

  • k approximately 10.0% will be used as our general working capital.

The allocation of the proceeds used for the above will be adjusted in the event that the Offer Price is fixed at a higher or lower level compared to the mid-point of the estimated offer price range. Assuming the Over-allotment Option is not exercised, if the Offer Price is fixed at HK$23.00 per H Share, being the high end of the stated Offer Price range, the net proceeds will be increased by approximately HK$604.0 million. In such circumstances, we presently intend to use such additional proceeds to increase the net proceeds applied to the same purposes above (other than for the repayment of bank loans and as general working capital) on a pro rata basis. If the Offer Price is fixed at HK$19.80 per H Share, being the low end of the stated Offer Price range, the net proceeds will be decreased by approximately HK$604.0 million. In such circumstances we presently intend to reduce the net proceeds applied to our general working capital.

In the event that the Over-allotment Option is exercised in full, the additional net proceeds of approximately HK$1,211.8 million (assuming the Offer Price is determined at the mid-point of the stated range), approximately HK$1,302.4 million (assuming the Offer Price is determined at the high end of the stated Offer Price range) or approximately HK$1,121.2 million (assuming the Offer Price is determined at the low end of the stated Offer

SUMMARY

Price range) will be applied by our Company for the same purposes above (other than for the repayment of bank loans and as general working capital) on a pro rata basis.

To the extent that the net proceeds of the Global Offering are not immediately required for the above purposes, the Directors currently intend that such proceeds will be placed on short-term deposits with licensed banks or financial institutions in Hong Kong or the PRC.

RISK FACTORS

We believe that there are certain risks involved in our operations. Many of these risks are beyond our control and can be categorized into: (i) risks relating to our business; (ii) risks relating to the industry in which we operate; (iii) risks relating to the PRC; and (iv) risks relating to the Global Offering.

Risks relating to our business

  • k We may be affected if the government reduces or ceases its support and encouragement of the wind power industry.

  • k We may not be able to continue our rapid growth and implement our business expansion plans successfully.

SUMMARY

  • k Our results of operations may be materially and adversely affected if we fail to retain or hire qualified personnel at reasonable costs.

  • k Our success depends on the stability of our senior management team and successful implementation of our management incentive system.

  • k Our international marketing and sales plans and strategies may not yield the desired results.

  • k We are subject to the risk of product liability claims and in some cases may not have sufficient insurance coverage.

  • k Substantial damage to persons or loss of property may occur in the course of our production and construction processes.

  • k Our production and operations may be affected by factors beyond our control.

Risks relating to the industry in which we operate

  • k If major breakthroughs in other renewable energy technologies result in these technologies being superior to wind power, or the utilization of wind power is affected by the unpredictability of local weather conditions, demand for wind power projects may be affected.

  • k The lack of grid infrastructure may restrict or otherwise affect the development of wind farms and the timing of their development and therefore affect our ability to maintain or increase our historical level of operations, and the timing of revenue recognition from those operations.

  • k Demand for wind power is dependent upon the overall demand for electric power, and if the overall demand for electric power declines because of an economic downturn in the major markets, our business will be affected.

  • k The conversion of A Shares to H Shares could have a material and adverse effect on the prevailing market price of the H Shares and our ability to raise capital in the future.

  • k As the Offer Price of the H Shares is higher than the net tangible asset value per share, you will experience immediate dilution.

  • k The sales or potential sales of substantial amounts of the H Shares in the public market (including any future offering) may affect the prevailing market price of the H Shares and our ability to raise capital in the future, and future additional issuance of securities may dilute your shareholdings.

  • k There exist uncertainties about the Vensys Option and potential issuance of additional Shares pursuant to the exercise of the Vensys Option will cause dilution in your shareholdings.

  • k There will be a five-Business-Day time gap between pricing and trading of the H Shares offered pursuant to the Global Offering.

  • k There is no assurance that we will adopt the same dividend policy as we have adopted in the past.

  • k There has been no prior public market for the H Shares, and the liquidity, market price and trading volume of the H Shares may be volatile.

  • k Certain industry statistics contained in this prospectus are derived from various publicly available official sources and may not be reliable.

  • k Holders of the H Shares may be subject to PRC taxation.

  • k You should read the entire prospectus carefully and we strongly caution you not to place any reliance on any information contained in press articles or other media regarding us and the Global Offering.

RISK FACTORS

You should consider carefully all of the information set out in this prospectus and, in particular, should evaluate the following risks in connection with an investment in the Offer Shares before making an investment. You should pay particular attention to the fact that we are a company incorporated in the PRC and most of our business is conducted in the PRC. There are risks associated with investing in the H Shares not typical of investment in the capital stock of companies incorporated and/or engaging in business in Hong Kong or the United States. Any of the risks and uncertainties described below could have a material adverse effect on our business expansion, results of operations, financial condition or the trading price of the H Shares, and could cause you to lose your investment.

We believe that there are certain risks involved in our operations and the Global Offering. Many of these risks are beyond our control and can be categorized into: (i) risks relating to our business; (ii) risks relating to the industry in which we operate; (iii) risks relating to the PRC; and (iv) risks relating to the Global Offering.

RISKS RELATING TO OUR BUSINESS

We may be affected if the government reduces or ceases its support and encouragement of the wind power industry.

In recent years, the PRC Government has promulgated a series of laws and regulations to support and encourage the development of wind power. These include The Renewable Energy Law of the PRC, Medium-to-Long Term Development Plan for Renewable Energy, Notice of the NDRC on Related Requirements for the Administration of Wind Power Construction, and Notice of the NDRC on Perfecting the Policy Governing the Price of Wind Power Sold to the Grid . These laws, regulations and policies directly affect the prospects of the domestic wind power industry and wind power equipment manufacturing industry and are major factors that affect the demand for our products.

The level of acceptance of wind power as a viable form of renewable energy by the government agencies that establish energy policies as well as the general public in markets in which we operate has a significant effect on us. The direct or indirect reduction or termination of such government support may have a negative impact on the PRC wind power market. In the event of changes in the support by the PRC Government of the industry in which we operate, or changes to the policies associated with our industry, our operations may be affected. Moreover, changes in government policies and support in those countries to which we plan to expand our business may also affect us. In the event of changes in these preferential policies by the PRC Government and/or the relevant authorities of other markets in which we intend to operate or changes in the level of public acceptance for wind power in such markets, wind power may become less attractive, and this could have a material and adverse effect on our business, results of operations and prospects.

We may not be able to continue our rapid growth and implement our business expansion plans successfully.

We have experienced significant growth in terms of production capacity, revenue and profits during the Track Record Period. We plan to secure further growth by increasing our sales, expanding the geographical coverage of our production bases, researching and introducing more advanced WTGs, improving the performance of our products, exploring business opportunities for our wind power services and wind farm investment, development and sales business, and expanding our international operations. The success of our plans for growth depends on certain factors, including, but not limited to, our ability to expand, construct or operate our production bases; implement and manage our business expansion plans; secure financing necessary for business expansion; operate in an efficient

– 28 –

RISK FACTORS

manner; maintain and expand our existing customer base; manage relationships with suppliers; ensure timely and sufficient supply of parts and components; hire, train and retain qualified personnel and deal with challenges that may arise in new and existing markets and business areas. Some of the above factors are beyond our control. Although we have commenced active efforts in all the abovementioned areas, if we fail to successfully implement our business expansion plans, maintain and further enhance our domestic and international market share, further increase sales and promote newly developed products, develop businesses with strategic significance, or, if we encounter difficulties in any of the foregoing, our growth, business prospects, results of operations and financial condition may be materially and adversely affected.

Moreover, substantial capital is necessary for the construction, maintenance and operation of new facilities, equipment purchases and R&D of new products and technologies. During the Track Record Period, our total capital expenditures were RMB395.8 million, RMB2,043.0 million and RMB2,078.3 million, respectively. If we fail to obtain adequate financing on acceptable terms, we may not be able to sufficiently fund our operations or implement our expansion strategy. As a result, we may be forced to adopt alternative strategies that may include delaying capital expenditures, refinancing of our indebtedness or seeking equity capital. These may subject us to loss of market competitiveness and future revenues, and thus materially and adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

We face intense competition in our major markets.

We face increasingly intense competition in the markets in which we operate. Now and in the near future, most of our business will continue to be concentrated in the PRC. The PRC wind power industry has seen rapid development since the introduction of a series of wind power incentives in 2005, and compared to 2004, when the PRC wind turbine market was dominated by eight or nine Chinese and international suppliers, there are now more than 80 wind turbine manufacturers that have entered the PRC market. Although the supply of WTGs in the PRC had in the past fallen short of demand, the production capacity for WTGs has exceeded demand recently as a result of the rapid increase in the number of wind turbine suppliers and the expansion of production facilities. Some of these manufacturers may have greater financial, sales and marketing, R&D, personnel, or other resources than us. Some of these new market entrants may achieve immediate market share through leveraging existing business relationships and acquisition of wind turbine technologies from third parties. Our competitors may also respond more quickly to changes in technology or customer requirements, or offer similar products at prices lower than ours. Furthermore, as defects in WTGs and wind power services may not appear in the early stages of using the product or service, new market entrants who may produce products or provide services of sub-standard quality may market their products and services for an extended period of time before potential customers can gain actual knowledge of the quality of their products and services. All of the foregoing factors have intensified market competition, and we may face pressure in product pricing and competition for orders. In particular, our historical WTG ASP are not necessarily representative of future trends for our product pricing, and we may adjust our selling prices downward due to pricing pressure. Any adverse or unforeseen change in our competitive environment may have a material and adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects.

We may not be able to obtain timely and stable supply of the core parts and components required for our business.

Most of our parts and components are purchased domestically. Due to the relatively high technical threshold for the production of certain core parts and components, the number of qualified suppliers in the PRC is limited. To reduce the impact of this, we have in-house capability to develop, design and manufacture certain core parts and components. We also own shares of some promising parts and components suppliers, and we maintain close

– 29 –

RISK FACTORS

relationships with external suppliers that are able to manufacture and supply parts and components required by our WTGs in accordance with our technical parameters and quality standards.

Although we have long-term relationships with most of our suppliers and believe that we are able to purchase the requisite parts and components on reasonable commercial terms from other qualified suppliers when necessary, we cannot assure you that the suppliers can meet all of our specified quality standards and technical specifications for increasing quantities in a timely manner and at acceptable prices. If our existing suppliers materially reduce or cease supply of parts and components to us, and we fail to source the parts and components that satisfy our quality standards and requirements from other suppliers, our business operations and financial performance may be materially and adversely affected.

A significant portion of our revenue is derived from our major customers and changes in their requirements may have a material and adverse effect on our business.

As most of our customers are China’s large power producers and other enterprises investing in renewable energy, our customer base is relatively concentrated. For each of the three years ended December 31, 2007, 2008 and 2009, sales to our five largest customers in aggregate accounted for 39.8%, 37.7% and 38.7% of our total revenue, respectively. We anticipate that the revenue derived from these major customers will continue to represent a significant proportion of our total revenue in the future. If our customers, including our five largest customers, experience negative changes in their business, adjust their investment strategies or slow down the growth rate of their investment in wind power, it may result in a reduction or cessation of their purchase orders with us. If we fail to obtain a comparable level of purchase orders from new customers, our business, results of operations and financial condition may be adversely affected.

We may not be able to develop new products that meet changing market demands or successfully introduce new products in a timely manner.

WTG technology evolves rapidly. WTG unit capacity is progressively increasing with improved operational performance, and our customers are demanding more cost-effective WTGs. To maintain our market-leading position, we will be required, on a rapid and consistent basis, to design and develop new and improved WTGs that keep pace with technological developments in order to meet the higher demands of our customers. Therefore, we have devoted substantial resources to our R&D activities. However, we cannot assure you that our R&D activities will yield the anticipated results. If we encounter delays in technology development, fail to meet changing market demands or successfully introduce newly developed products to the market, and our competitors respond more rapidly than we do, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected.

We may not be able to adequately protect our intellectual property rights.

We rely primarily on patents and proprietary technologies to protect our technological know-how, which includes designs and technologies for our products and core components. Furthermore, certain know-how cannot be registered, and we rely on confidentiality and trade secrets protection obligations of our suppliers and employees to protect this know-how. We are also applying for the registration of certain trademarks and patents. Please see the section entitled “Business — Intellectual Property” in this prospectus for more details. We cannot assure you that these measures will be sufficient to prevent any infringement of our intellectual property rights or that our competitors will not independently develop alternative technologies that are equivalent or superior to our technologies. Furthermore, we cannot assure you that all our registration applications will be successful, or our

– 30 –

RISK FACTORS

registered intellectual property rights will not be subject to any objection. In the event that the steps we have taken and the protection afforded by law do not adequately safeguard our intellectual property rights, or we are not able to register or defend our intellectual property rights, our competitors may exploit our intellectual property in the manufacturing and sale of competing products, which could materially and adversely affect our business.

If we fail to maintain an effective quality control system, our product quality and thus our business may be materially and adversely affected.

The performance, quality and safety of our products are critical to our customers, our reputation and ultimately, our success. Accordingly, we have established and maintained stringent quality assurance standards and inspection procedures, including quality control of the parts and components purchased from external suppliers. Our quality control system has been accredited the ISO 9001:2008 certification. Please see the section entitled “Business — Quality Assurance” in this prospectus for further details. The effectiveness of our quality control system is determined by various factors, including the design of the system, implementation of quality standards, quality of training programs and the mechanism to ensure our employees’ adherence to our quality control policies and guidelines, especially our ability to monitor and manage our supplier quality system. If we fail to maintain an effective quality control system, we may produce defective products that expose us to product liabilities and warranty claims. As a result, our reputation and relationships with existing customers may be undermined, and our business may be materially and adversely affected.

If we fail to effectively control costs, in particular the costs of parts and components, our results of operations and financial condition may be materially and adversely affected.

In order to maintain our competitiveness and achieve profitability, we must effectively control our costs. A significant portion of our business with our customers is conducted pursuant to fixed price contracts, awarded on a competitive bidding basis. The profit margins realized on such fixed price contracts may vary from original estimates as a result of changes in costs and production volume over their term due to factors such as changes in the costs of components, materials or manpower, difficulties in obtaining adequate financing, unanticipated technical problems with parts and components being supplied, project or schedule modifications, delays caused by local weather conditions and suppliers’ failure to fulfill their obligations. All of our revenue during the Track Record Period was derived from fixed price contracts.

Among these, fluctuations in the purchase prices of parts and components are a key factor affecting our costs. The parts and components used for manufacturing WTGs require substantial amounts of steel, copper, various other metals and composite materials. The prices and availability of these materials may be affected by factors beyond our control, including global demand for and supply of such materials, inflation and local economic cycles, price control measures imposed by the government or private companies, international geopolitical issues and instability of the government of the exporting countries. We experienced fluctuations in the prices of raw materials during the Track Record Period, and any increase in their prices will cause our costs to increase. For instance, a significant fluctuation in the prices of raw materials in 2008 affected the prices of the parts and components required for our products. During the contractual term, it is difficult to predict price trends of raw materials, and price fluctuations in raw materials may have a material and adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. We do not hedge our exposure to movements in the prices of steel, copper, rare earth materials and other raw materials. We are thus exposed to the risk of increases in the prices of these raw materials and components and to the extent we cannot pass on the price increases in these raw materials and components to our customers fully or in part, our business and financial condition could be affected. Although we believe that our resources, experience and project management skills allow us in most cases to estimate costs accurately and to control costs effectively, there can be no assurance

– 31 –

RISK FACTORS

that we will realize expected profits from all of our fixed price contracts. In the event this occurs, our results of operations and financial condition may be materially and adversely affected.

Our revenue may fluctuate through the year due to seasonality of business.

During the Track Record Period, our customers were located primarily in the northern part of China, where, due to weather conditions, the construction of wind farm projects tends to commence at the beginning of the year, with construction carried out through the year, and installation at the end of the year. Consequently, the quantity of our WTGs delivered and sales revenue in the third and the fourth quarters are generally greater than in the first and second quarters. As our revenue fluctuates seasonally, our interim financial results may not reflect our financial results or performance for the entire year. Comparisons of sales and operating results between different periods in a single financial year for our business segments, or between the same periods in different financial years, are not necessarily meaningful and should not be relied on as indicators of our performance. We try to mitigate the influence of such seasonal factors by increasing sales to other regions in the PRC and managing delivery schedules. The seasonal nature of our revenue requires us to control our operating capital carefully so as to provide our business with adequate cash for operations. Failure to manage seasonality in our business may cause our revenue and financial condition to be materially and adversely affected.

We are subject to risks associated with changes in preferential tax treatment.

We are subject to various PRC taxes, including the current statutory PRC enterprise income tax of 25% as determined in accordance with the relevant PRC tax rules and regulations. Please see the appendix entitled “Appendix VI — Taxation and Foreign Exchange” to this prospectus for further details. However, PRC national and local tax laws provide certain preferential tax treatments applicable to different enterprises, industries and locations. Our Company and some of our subsidiaries are currently taxed at preferential rates due to the nature of our business activities and the location of our projects. For instance, our Company has been accredited as a high and new technology enterprise and is presently entitled to the preferential enterprise income tax rate of 15%. Please see the section entitled “Financial Information — Results of Operations for the Track Record Period — Income Tax” in this prospectus for further details. Termination or revision of any such preferential tax treatments may materially and adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

Failure to fulfill customer orders due to delays in our production process may have a material and adverse effect on our business prospects, results of operations and financial condition.

The manufacturing and sales of our WTGs involves purchases of parts and components, assembly of the units, and transportation of finished products. Any unexpected delay in the process may affect our ability to deliver products on time. We cannot assure you that we can always fulfill customer orders on time. In addition, we provide letters of guarantee to our customers for our fulfilment of sales contracts. Please see the section entitled “Financial Information — Contingent Liabilities” in this prospectus for more details. Any failure to fulfil customer orders due to delays in our production process may affect our current sales, and undermine our reputation and market position and thus the quantity of future orders. Further, we may be subject to substantial contractual penalties or obligations in connection with the letters of guarantee we have provided. Any of these may have a material and adverse effect on our business prospects, results of operations and financial condition.

– 32 –

RISK FACTORS

Clauses in our contracts with customers may be modified.

We sign contracts with our customers for the supply of our WTGs. However, we cannot assure you that we and our customers will not modify the clauses in our existing contracts due to delays in the execution of contracts and for other reasons, in particular with respect to the price, quantity and delivery time. This could occur due to factors beyond our control or the control of our customers, such as general changes in industry market prices, adverse economic conditions or difficulties in obtaining required government approvals and permits. Any material adverse change in contract clauses, such as price decreases, reduction of order quantity or change of delivery time, or difficulties encountered in performing the contracts may have a material and adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

Availability of credit and fluctuations in the interest rates of our bank borrowings and other loans may affect our business expansion or financial performance.

We have obtained bank loans to support our business expansion and provide financing for our development of wind farms. For the three years ended December 31, 2007, 2008 and 2009, we have had RMB470.0 million, RMB87.4 million and RMB332.2 million working capital-related bank borrowings and other loans and RMB153.0 million, RMB1,244.3 million and RMB2,291.8 million project-related bank loans outstanding, respectively. During the same periods, the effective interest rates associated with our working capital-related bank borrowings and other loans were 6.0%, 4.3% and 4.3%, respectively, and the effective interest rates associated with our project-related bank loans were 7.8%, 8.4% and 5.3%, respectively. Due to the economic stimulus plan implemented by the PRC Government and the global economic crisis, the one-year RMB benchmark loan rate was reduced several times in 2008. We believe that this interest rate may increase as the Chinese economy recovers from the global economic crisis. Our interest expenditure may increase significantly in the future, which may have a material and adverse effect on our financial performance.

In addition, the PRC Government has recently adopted a number of measures in monetary policy, including increasing the reserve ratio of commercial banks, which may have the effect of restricting money supply and the availability of credit. If these measures result in PRC banks reducing their volumes of commercial loans, our access to financing to fund our business expansion may be adversely affected.

We may not be able to obtain wind farm projects with suitable wind resources or realize the expected profit from our development of wind farm projects.

The sustainable development of our wind farm investment, development and sales business depends on many factors, in particular, our ability to continuously obtain wind farm projects with suitable wind resources. Although we are actively engaging in the overseas expansion of our wind farm investment, development and sales business, our activities remain concentrated in the PRC market. We believe that, as the development of wind farm projects in the PRC increases and competition for premium quality wind farm projects grows, such premium quality wind farm projects will be more difficult to obtain. Moreover, even if we succeed in obtaining suitable wind farm projects and in developing these projects, there can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully complete construction of our wind farm projects or sell our completed wind farm projects, or that the wind farm projects we develop and sell will generate the expected profits. If we fail to obtain suitable wind farm projects or realize the expected profit from our development of wind farm projects, our business, profitability and prospects may be materially and adversely affected.

– 33 –

RISK FACTORS

Our results of operations may be materially and adversely affected if we fail to retain or hire qualified personnel at reasonable costs.

The success of our products depends on our ability to retain qualified R&D, production, quality control and after-sales service and operations personnel. These departments require the continued service of our skilled personnel and our ability to recruit additional skilled personnel in the future. Due to the rapidly growing demand for qualified personnel in China, competition for such personnel is intensifying. If we fail to retain or hire qualified personnel, we may experience difficulties in developing new products, applying new technologies, expanding production capacities, maintaining product quality or providing our customers with quality after-sales services, which may in turn have a material and adverse effect on our business and reputation.

In addition, due to our relatively complex production process, it generally takes three to five months to train newly employed workers so that they may acquire the necessary skills, and some skilled workers are not easily or quickly replaceable. Hence, if a significant portion of our technically skilled workers terminate their employment relationships with us in a short period of time, we may encounter interruption of our production or services, which may substantially impact our operations.

Moreover, in the global context, labor costs in China are relatively low. This is one of our competitive advantages over foreign competitors. In the event of significant increases in the salaries of qualified personnel in the PRC market, our labor cost may significantly increase and our profit margins and market competitiveness may be materially and adversely affected.

Our success depends on the stability of our senior management team and successful implementation of our management incentive system.

The experience and leadership of our senior management team have been critical to our success, especially with regard to our development strategy and R&D. For more information about our senior management, please see the section entitled “Directors, Supervisors and Senior Management” in this prospectus. Moreover, our management incentive system is one of the key factors that contributes to retaining our senior management team and allowing us to gain the most from their talents. Our future growth will require us to maintain a stable and competent senior management team, in particular, ensuring the continued service of our chairman and chief executive officer, Mr. Wu Gang. The competition for qualified senior management is intense. If we lose the services of any of these key management personnel, or fail to recruit and retain new talent, or fail to maintain an attractive management incentive system in the future, our planned growth may not be realized and our business prospects, results of operations and financial condition may be materially and adversely affected.

Our international marketing and sales plans and strategies may not yield the desired results.

While most of our sales revenue is generated from the PRC, we are actively developing our overseas businesses. This involves setting up sales offices, marketing activities, establishment or acquisition of production facilities, construction or acquisition of wind farms, provision of wind farm services and other activities. Some of our recent efforts abroad include establishment of a production base at the headquarters of our subsidiary in Germany and commencing sales of our products in Europe, setting up branches in the United States and Australia as well as the successful completion of a demonstration wind farm project in the United States to build up our track record there. Please see the section entitled “Business — Sales and Marketing” in this prospectus for more details on our overseas marketing activities. There is no assurance that our overseas growth strategies will be implemented successfully. Our global business expansion, being pursued through our branches in the United States, Australia and Germany, may be hindered by risks such as: low demand for our products, lack of a track record in these markets,

– 34 –

RISK FACTORS

lack of availability of overseas financing on suitable terms to fund our international expansion, possible difficulties in the management of overseas personnel and business operations including a potential increase in labor costs due to our overseas expansion, lack of understanding of the local business environment, financial and management system or legal system, volatility in currency exchange rates, potentially more stringent product liability requirements, cultural differences, changes in political, regulatory or economic environments in the foreign countries or regions, as well as restrictions on foreign trade. Also, in certain markets, WTG manufacturers may be required to provide specific product warranties in order for the relevant wind farm developers to receive financing for their wind farm projects. We have provided warranties to our overseas customers, but in the event our warranties are deemed not to be in line with the requirements of financing providers in overseas markets, our customers may not be able to obtain the relevant financing, which would then affect their demand for our products and services. If we fail to manage the above risks effectively, our global expansion may be hindered, which may in turn result in a material and adverse effect on our business prospects, results of operations and financial condition.

Moreover, the fluctuation in the global economy in the second half of 2008 resulted in credit tightening, an increased unemployment rate and liquidity problems for many industries. This had a material and adverse effect on the U.S. and other major economies and led to a global economic downturn, which may affect our expansion plans in the global market.

If we are unable to obtain power generation business licenses for wind farms that we own and operate, there may be a material and adverse effect on our business.

The Renewable Energy Law of the PRC clearly stipulates that power grids shall acquire wind power electricity in full. In accordance with the Provisions for the Administration of Electric Power Business Licenses issued in 2005, unless otherwise provided by the SERC, a company may not engage in power generation, transmission, dispatch and sales without obtaining an electric power business license. In particular, our PRC legal advisor confirmed that power generating projects which became operational after August 1, 2006 shall obtain a power generation business license within three months from the commencement of operations. Since the processing time by the relevant PRC authorities of an application for a power generation business license tends to be relatively long, it is not unusual in the power industry for power generating projects to begin trial operation after completion of construction, apply for the license upon completing the trial operation period, and continue to operate after the application is submitted. The trial operation period is generally assumed to comprise 240 hours but is subject to various factors including weather conditions and the actual period of operation usually ends up being longer. Prior to obtaining this license, income generated from operation of wind farms may be confiscated and fines up to an amount five times of such income may be imposed. As of the Latest Practicable Date, we had obtained the power generation business licenses for all the wind farms which we currently own and operate. As we will continue to own and operate wind farms in the future, we will use our best endeavors to ensure compliance with the relevant laws and regulations as applied by the relevant regulatory authorities in the PRC and obtain the power generation business licenses for our wind farms in the future. However, procedures for granting licenses vary by local area, and certain provinces may deny requests for licenses for various reasons. If we are unable to obtain the requisite power generation business licenses, there may be a material and adverse effect on our business, including the forfeiture of revenue, imposition of fines or cessation of operations at the wind farms.

We have not obtained valid title certificates for some of the properties and land that we own and occupy.

Our applications for the title certificates in respect of some of our properties and land are currently being processed. Please see the section entitled “Business — Properties” in this prospectus for further details. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain valid title certificates for all the properties and land. Our rights as

RISK FACTORS

owner or occupant of these properties and buildings may be adversely affected due to the absence of such valid title certificates. Moreover, we cannot assure you that there will not be challenges in respect of our rights in relation to the relevant properties and land that we use or occupy which may result in interference with our business operations carried out on the affected properties or land, and cause a material and adverse impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

We are subject to the risk of product liability claims and in some cases may not have sufficient insurance coverage.

Although we have purchased insurance coverage, due to the complex technical specifications of our products, we may be subject to substantial product liability claims due to quality defects or shutdown resulting from malfunctions of our WTGs. Moreover, we provide customers with contractual warranties for the operating performance of our WTGs. After preliminary inspection, we will normally provide a letter of guarantee issued by a bank amounting to up to 5.0% of the total contract price to our customer against fulfilment of our warranty obligation, who may request payment from the bank in the event our obligation is not met. The warranty period of our products is generally 24 months from the day on which the preliminary inspection certificate is issued, and in a few instances, the warranty period may be 30 to 60 months. As of March 31, 2010, our total amount of warranty provision outstanding was RMB490.8 million. Our Directors are of the view that we have made adequate provisions for product quality warranties. If our products fail to meet these quality standards and technical requirements during the warranty period, or if, after expiration of the warranty period, significant product defects are discovered, or technical defaults which result in WTG downtime occurring, or the performance of our products falls below the requisite technical standard, we may be exposed to warranty expenses and costly product liability claims or litigation. As of the Latest Practicable Date, we have not been sued for any mechanical failure, accident, breach of warranty or product fault. Although we have purchased product insurance coverage for the warranty period, there may be difficulty in receiving compensation from the insurance companies, or the processing time may be lengthy or we may not be able to receive sufficient compensation to cover our liability or damages in full. If we fail to receive compensation from the insurance companies for our losses, our business, results of operations and financial condition may be materially and adversely affected.

Substantial damage to persons or loss of property may occur in the course of our production and construction processes.

Our production and construction processes involve dangerous activities, including aerial, engineering and routine construction works. We are required to comply with the necessary safety requirements and standards. Please see the section entitled “Business — Safety and Environmental Protection” in this prospectus. Risks associated with our production and construction activities include work injury accidents or geological hazards, which may result in personal injuries or fatalities and damage to property and equipment. Accidents related to any of these may result in personal injury claims, subcontractor claims, cessation of business, or civil and criminal penalties. We may also be liable for claims from third-party contractors. We do not maintain third party liability insurance in respect of our operations as it is neither industry practice nor a mandatory requirement under PRC law. If we incur substantial losses or liabilities due to the above reasons and our insurance coverage is unavailable or inadequate to cover such losses or liabilities, our results of operations and financial condition may be materially and adversely affected.

Our production and operations may be affected by factors beyond our control.

Our manufacturing business may be interrupted for reasons beyond our control, which may include such natural disasters as bad weather conditions, flooding, cyclones, typhoons, blizzards, snowstorms, landslides,

– 36 –

RISK FACTORS

earthquakes, and fire, as well as labor strikes, union strikes or social turmoil. Any major interruption of our business may have a material and adverse effect on our ability to manufacture and sell products or provide services. The transportation of WTGs and the construction, operation and maintenance of wind farms may be affected by bad weather conditions; in particular, in remote areas of China, the transportation of WTGs may be affected by poor infrastructure. If any of such events takes place, there may be a material and adverse effect on our production capacity, business, results of operations and financial condition.

RISKS RELATING TO THE INDUSTRY IN WHICH WE OPERATE

If major breakthroughs in other renewable energy technologies result in these technologies being superior to wind power, or the utilization of wind power is affected by the unpredictability of local weather conditions, demand for wind power projects may be affected.

The cost and social effects of wind power may affect the demand for wind power projects. Wind power is currently considered to be the most cost-competitive source of renewable energy, with improving technology and decreasing cost. However, in the event of improved cost competitiveness of other forms of renewable energy or major breakthroughs in other forms of renewable energy, such alternative forms of energy may become more attractive than wind power and, accordingly, demand for wind power may then drop significantly.

Moreover, the amount of wind power generated depends significantly on local weather conditions. As the status of wind resources may change, the effective utilization of wind power may be affected. This may result in a shift in demand toward other forms of renewable energy, such as solar, geothermal and tidal. If any of the above factors takes place, the wind power industry may be affected, and this may have a material and adverse effect on our business prospects, results of operations and financial condition.

The lack of grid infrastructure may restrict or otherwise affect the development of wind farms and the timing of their development and therefore affect our ability to maintain or increase our historical level of operations, and the timing of revenue recognition from those operations.

Wind farm sites are selected primarily with reference to wind resources. Many wind farms are far from major cities, making it difficult to transmit electric power to the major markets where demand for electric power is higher. To transmit electric power to areas of high demand in China, it will be necessary to build more grid infrastructure. As such infrastructure is expensive and has a large geographical span, the construction of wind farms requires adequate investment in and centralized planning of supporting grid facilities. The lack of grid infrastructure may restrict or otherwise affect the development of wind farms through preventing or delaying new construction or limiting the size of new wind farms. This may have a material and adverse effect on our ability to maintain or increase our historical level of operations, and the timing of revenue recognition from those operations.

Demand for wind power is dependent upon the overall demand for electric power, and if the overall demand for electric power declines because of an economic downturn in the major markets, our business will be affected.

Demand for wind power is closely related to overall demand for electric power. As the economy grows, economic activities such as industrial production and private consumption tend to grow, therefore increasing the demand for electric power. When the economy is in recession, however, activities such as industrial production and consumer demand may drop or come to a standstill, thereby decreasing the demand for electric power, including electric power generated from renewable energy. If the economy of the PRC, the United States and other major international markets no longer grows, or declines, there may be a drop in demand for electric power, including

– 37 –

RISK FACTORS

power generated from renewable energy such as wind power. This would have a material and adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

RISKS RELATING TO THE PRC

The majority of our assets are located in the PRC and most of our revenue is derived from the PRC. Hence, our business operations and prospects are to a large extent affected by the economic, political and legal developments in the PRC.

Changes in the economic, political and social conditions in the PRC may have a material and adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

The Chinese economy differs from that of most of the developed countries in many respects, including the degree of government involvement, control of capital investment, as well as the overall level of development. The PRC Government is committed to the continued reform of the economic system as well as the structure of the government. The PRC Government’s reform policies have emphasized the independence of enterprises and the use of market mechanisms. Since the introduction of these reforms, significant progress has been achieved in economic development, and enterprises have enjoyed an improved environment for their development. However, any changes in the PRC’s political, economic and social conditions may have a material and adverse effect on our present and future business operations, results of operations and financial condition.

The slowdown of the Chinese economy may have a material and adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

Most of our revenue is derived from sales in the PRC. We rely on domestic demand for electric power, especially demand for wind power, to achieve growth in our revenue. Domestic demand for electric power is materially affected by industrial development, growth of private consumption and overall economic growth in China. The global crisis in financial services and credit markets in 2008 caused a slowdown in the growth of the global economy. Although there are signs of recovery in the global and Chinese economies, there is no assurance that any such recovery is sustainable. In addition, if the crisis in global financial services and credit markets was to persist, there is no certainty as to its impact on the global economy, especially the Chinese economy. As a result of global economic cycles, there is no assurance that the Chinese economy will grow in a sustained or steady manner. Any slowdown or recession of the Chinese economy may have a material and adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

The PRC’s legal system is still evolving, there exist uncertainties as to the interpretation and enforcement of PRC laws, and PRC laws are different from those of common law countries.

Our Company is incorporated under the laws of the PRC and most of our activities are conducted in the PRC, hence our business operations are regulated primarily by PRC laws and regulations. PRC laws and regulations are based on written statutes, and past court judgments may be cited only for reference. Since 1979, the PRC Government has been committed to developing and refining its legal system and has achieved significant progress in the development of its laws and regulations governing economic matters, such as in foreign investment, company organization and management, business, tax and trade. However, as these laws and regulations are still evolving, and because of the limited number and non-binding nature of published cases, there exist uncertainties about their interpretation and enforcement.

– 38 –

RISK FACTORS

In addition, the PRC Company Law is different in certain important respects from company laws in common law countries or territories such as Hong Kong and the United States, particularly with regard to investor protection, including areas such as derivative actions by shareholders and other measures protecting minority shareholders, restrictions on directors, disclosure obligations, variations of class rights, procedures at general meetings and payments of dividends. Protection for investors under the PRC Company Law is increased, to a certain extent, by the introduction of the Mandatory Provisions and certain additional requirements that are imposed by the Listing Rules with a view to reducing the scope of differences between the company laws of Hong Kong and the PRC. The Mandatory Provisions and those additional requirements must be included in the articles of association of all PRC companies applying to be listed in Hong Kong. The Articles of Association have incorporated the provisions in the Mandatory Provisions and the Listing Rules. Despite the incorporation of those provisions, there is no assurance that you will enjoy an equal level of protection that you may be entitled to when investing in companies incorporated in common-law jurisdictions.

The recurrence of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome or an outbreak of other epidemics, such as bird flu or Type A H1N1 influenza, may materially and adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

Certain areas in the PRC, including the areas in which we operate, may be prone to infectious diseases such as Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome, or SARS, H5N1 bird flu or Type A H1N1 influenza. The outbreak of infectious diseases in the past, depending on their scale, has damaged the regional and national economies in the PRC. In the case of a recurrence of SARS or other infectious diseases, especially in the areas in which we or our customers operate, the production and installation of WTGs, and the development, investment, operation and servicing of wind farms may be seriously affected, and there could be a material and adverse effect on our business prospects, results of operations and financial condition.

Government control over the conversion of foreign exchange may affect our results of operations and financial condition.

The Renminbi is not currently a freely convertible currency. As our operations are primarily conducted in the PRC and substantially all of our revenue is denominated in RMB, fluctuations in the RMB exchange rate against other currencies did not have a material impact on our results of operations during the Track Record Period. However, as we expand our business into international markets, our overseas income and expenditures may increase, so we anticipate our exposure to fluctuations in foreign exchange will increase.

Pursuant to existing foreign exchange regulations in the PRC, we are allowed to carry out current account foreign exchange transactions (including dividend payouts) without submitting the certifying documents of such transactions to SAFE for approval in advance as long as they are processed by banks designated for foreign exchange trading. However, foreign exchange transactions for capital account purposes, including direct overseas investment and various international loans, may require the prior approval or registration with SAFE. If we fail to obtain SAFE’s approval to convert RMB into foreign currencies for such purposes, our capital expenditure plans, business operations and subsequently our results of operations and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected.

We face foreign exchange and conversion risks, and fluctuation in the value of the RMB may have a material and adverse effect on our business and your investment.

The exchange rate between the RMB and the U.S. dollar and other currencies may fluctuate from time to time and be affected by, among other things, changes in China’s political and economic environment. Presently, the RMB

– 39 –

RISK FACTORS

is no longer only pegged to the U.S. dollar, but is subject to a managed floating exchange rate regime based on market supply and demand with reference to a basket of currencies. We cannot predict how the RMB will fluctuate in the future. We face foreign exchange and conversion risks primarily through sales and procurement that are denominated in currencies other than the RMB. If the exchange rate of the RMB against other related foreign currencies were to appreciate, our export prices would increase, and the competitiveness of our products in comparison with products manufactured in other countries would decrease. On the other hand, if the exchange rate of the RMB against other related currencies were to depreciate, the price of our imported parts and components when converted into RMB would increase, which may have a material and adverse effect on us. Moreover, we will need to convert part of the proceeds denominated in foreign currencies from the Global Offering into RMB. The fluctuation in the exchange rate between the RMB and Hong Kong dollar and other currencies may have a material and adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition, and thus your investment.

It may be difficult to enforce judgments rendered by courts other than PRC courts against us or the Directors, Supervisors or senior management residing in China.

Substantially all of our Directors, Supervisors and senior management reside within the PRC. Substantially all of our assets and the assets of our Directors, Supervisors and senior management are located within the PRC. The PRC does not have treaties providing for the reciprocal recognition and enforcement of judgments of courts with the United States, the United Kingdom, Japan and many other countries. Therefore, it may not be possible for investors to serve summons upon us or those persons in the PRC or to enforce against us or them in the PRC any judgments obtained from non-PRC courts. In addition, recognition and enforcement in the PRC of judgments of a court of any other jurisdiction in relation to any matter not subject to a binding arbitration provision may not be possible.

The Articles of Association and the Listing Rules provide that disputes or claims for rights between holders of the H Shares and us, our Directors, Supervisors, senior management or holders of the A Shares, arising out of the rights and obligations provided in the Articles of Association, the PRC Company Law and the related laws and regulations and in relation to affairs of our Company, are to be resolved through arbitration in Hong Kong or the PRC, rather than by a court of law, except for disputes associated with the definition of shareholders or register of shareholders. Under the current arrangements for reciprocal enforcement of arbitral awards between the PRC and Hong Kong, awards made by PRC arbitral authorities, which are recognized under the Arbitration Ordinance of Hong Kong, can be enforced in Hong Kong. Hong Kong arbitration awards are also enforceable in the PRC.

RISKS RELATING TO THE GLOBAL OFFERING

Characteristics of the A Share and H Share markets may differ.

The A Shares have been listed and traded on the SZSE since December 2007. Following the Global Offering, the A Shares will continue to be traded on the SZSE, and the H Shares will be traded on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. Without approval from the relevant regulatory authorities, the A Shares and H Shares are neither interchangeable nor fungible, and there is no trading or settlement between the A share and the H share markets. Please see the subsection below headed “The conversion of A Shares to H Shares could have a material and adverse effect on the prevailing market price of the H Shares and our ability to raise capital in the future”. The A share and H share markets have different trading characteristics, including trading volume and liquidity, and investor bases, including different levels of participation of retail and institutional investors. As a result of these differences, the trading prices of our A Shares and H Shares may not be the same. Moreover, fluctuations in our A Share price may affect our H Share price and vice versa. Because of the different characteristics of the A share and H share markets, the historical prices of the A Shares may not be indicative of the performance of the H Shares. You should therefore

– 40 –

RISK FACTORS

not place undue reliance on the historical performance of the A Shares when evaluating an investment in the H Shares.

The conversion of A Shares to H Shares could have a material and adverse effect on the prevailing market price of the H Shares and our ability to raise capital in the future.

According to the stipulations by the State Council securities regulatory authority, A shares may be transferred to overseas investors, and such transferred shares may be listed or traded on an overseas stock exchange, provided that certain conditions are met and certain procedures are completed. Conversion of a substantial number of the A Shares to H Shares, or market anticipation that such conversion may occur, could materially and adversely affect the price of the H Shares. Further, assuming the Over-allotment Option is not exercised, 39,529,400 A Shares will be converted into H Shares and transferred to the NSSF in connection with the Global Offering. The NSSF has not entered into any lock up agreement with us or the Underwriters and would be free to sell the H Shares any time after the Global Offering. This may also materially and adversely affect the prevailing market price of the H Shares and our ability to raise capital in the future at a time and at a price favorable to us.

As the Offer Price of the H Shares is higher than the net tangible asset value per share, you will experience immediate dilution.

The Offer Price of the H Shares is higher than the net tangible asset value per share of the outstanding Shares issued to our existing Shareholders. Therefore, purchasers of the H Shares in the Global Offering will experience an immediate dilution in the net tangible asset value to HK$5.06 per Share (assuming an Offer Price of HK$21.40, being the mid-point of our indicative Offer Price range, and assuming the Over-allotment Option is not exercised), and the pro forma adjusted consolidated net tangible asset value per share of the Shares held by our existing Shareholders will increase. If, in order to expand our business in the future, we issue additional H Shares at a price below the net tangible asset value per share, the net tangible asset value per share of the H Shares held by the buyers of the H Shares may be diluted. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the share price of our A Shares was RMB23.15 per A Share.

The sales or potential sales of substantial amounts of the H Shares in the public market (including any future offering) may affect the prevailing market price of the H Shares and our ability to raise capital in the future, and future additional issuance of securities may dilute your shareholdings.

The sales of substantial amounts of the H Shares or other securities related to the H Shares in the public market, or the issuance of new H Shares or other securities, or the market anticipation that such sales or issuance may occur, may cause fluctuations in the market price of the H Shares, and may materially and adversely affect our ability to raise capital at a time and at a price as we see fit in the future. Further, if we issue additional securities in future offerings, the shareholdings of the Shareholders may be diluted.

There exist uncertainties about the Vensys Option and potential issuance of additional Shares pursuant to the exercise of the Vensys Option will cause dilution in your shareholdings.

Pursuant to the Vensys Share SPA and the Vensys Supplemental Agreements relating to our acquisition of a 70.0% equity interest in Vensys AG in 2008, we have granted the Vensys Option to each of the holders of the remaining 30.0% of the shares of Vensys AG (namely Vensys/Innowind, Saarwind and Windpark). Pursuant to the Vensys Option, Vensys/Innowind, Saarwind and Windpark may exchange the remaining 1.5 million shares of Vensys AG held by them in part or total into the Shares at a price of EUR11.78 per share of Vensys AG, and shall be

– 41 –

RISK FACTORS

subject to PRC laws, the relevant provisions of the PRC securities regulatory authority and the relevant rules of the stock exchange on which the Shares are listed at the respective date of the exercise of the Vensys Option. The number of our Shares to be exchanged upon the exercise of the Vensys Option will be calculated based on multiplying the number of shares of Vensys AG to be exchanged by the price of EUR11.78 divided by the market price of our Shares at the time the Vensys Option is exercised. Each of Vensys/Innowind, Saarwind and Windpark may request to exercise the Vensys Option from December 26, 2010 onwards. If Vensys/Innowind, Saarwind and Windpark fail to or are unable to exercise the Vensys Option before December 26, 2011, such option will automatically lapse. Please see the section entitled “Share Capital” in this prospectus for further details.

There exist uncertainties about the enforcement and interpretation of the Vensys Option as set forth in the Vensys Share SPA including determination of the actual exchange ratio, the class of the Shares subject to exchange and the procedural steps required to exercise the Vensys Option. If any of Vensys/Innowind, Saarwind and Windpark chooses to exercise the Vensys Option and we have to issue additional Shares in order to exchange their remaining shares of Vensys AG into the Shares, the Shareholders would experience dilution in their holdings. The Vensys Option does not stipulate the class of Shares that we may issue if it is exercised, and we may therefore need to issue additional H Shares pursuant to exercise of the Vensys Option. Further, in the event of future market anticipation that such issuance may occur, the market price of the H Shares may fluctuate.

There will be a five-Business-Day time gap between pricing and trading of the H Shares offered pursuant to the Global Offering.

The Offer Price of the H Shares sold in the Global Offering will be determined on the Price Determination Date. However, the trading of the H Shares on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange will not commence until they are delivered, which is expected to be the sixth Business Day after the Price Determination Date. As a result, investors may not be able to sell or otherwise deal in the H Shares during that period. Consequently, holders of the H Shares may bear risks as adverse market conditions or other unfavorable circumstances may arise during the period between the Price Determination Date and the time trading begins (for instance, decrease in the price of the A Shares) and the price of the H Shares may be lower than the Offer Price at the start of trading.

There is no assurance that we will adopt the same dividend policy as we have adopted in the past.

We distributed dividends in the form of Shares and cash amounting to RMB500.0 million and RMB680.0 million during the two years ended December 31, 2007 and 2008, respectively. The Board of Directors on August 31, 2009 and the Shareholders in general meeting on September 25, 2009 approved a resolution that holders of our A Shares are entitled to our distributable profits accumulated prior to January 1, 2010, and holders of our H Shares and A Shares upon the completion of the Global Offering will be equally entitled to our distributable profits accumulated between January 1, 2010 and the Listing Date. On March 25, 2010, our Company’s 2009 annual general meeting approved the distribution of our Company’s consolidated actual distributable profits of RMB1,767.8 million as of December 31, 2009. As partial settlement of this distribution, on April 6, 2010, our Company issued 840 million A Shares and paid cash of RMB140.0 million to holders of our A Shares funded with cash from profits generated by our business. On May 26, 2010, our Board of Directors approved the distribution of RMB784.0 million in the form of a cash dividend paid out of our internal cash resources (and not out of our net proceeds from the Global Offering), subject to approval of our Shareholders in a general meeting to be held on June 12, 2010, the settlement date of which will be determined after the general meeting and is expected to be after the Listing. Our H Shareholders shall not be entitled to any portion of this cash dividend. Any future declaration of dividends will be proposed by the Board of Directors and the amount of any dividends will depend on various factors, including our results of operations, financial condition, future business

– 42 –

RISK FACTORS

prospects and other factors that the board may determine to be important. For further details on our dividend policy, please see the section entitled “Financial Information — Dividend Policy” in this prospectus. There is no assurance that we will adopt the same dividend policy as we have adopted in the past.

There has been no prior public market for the H Shares, and the liquidity, market price and trading volume of the H Shares may be volatile.

Prior to the Global Offering, there has been no public market for the H Shares. We have applied to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange for the listing of, and permission to deal in, the H Shares. However, there is no assurance that the Global Offering will result in the development of an active and liquid public trading market for the H Shares. The market price, liquidity and trading volume of the H Shares may be volatile.

We cannot assure you that Shareholders will be able to sell their H Shares or achieve their desired price. As a result, Shareholders may not be able to sell their H Shares at prices equal to or greater than the price paid for their H Shares under the Global Offering. Factors that may affect the volume and price at which the H Shares will be traded include, among other things, variations in our revenue, earnings, cash flows and costs, announcements of new investments and changes in PRC laws and regulations. We cannot assure you that these developments will not occur in the future. In addition, shares of other companies listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange with significant operations and assets in the PRC have experienced price volatility in the past, and it is possible that the H Shares may be subject to changes in price not directly related to our performance.

Certain industry statistics contained in this prospectus are derived from various publicly available official sources and may not be reliable.

Certain statistical data and other information relating to the PRC and the industries in which we operate contained in, for instance, the section entitled “Industry Overview” in this prospectus, has been derived from various publicly available official publications. However, we cannot guarantee the quality of such source materials. Moreover, statistics derived from multiple sources may not be prepared on a comparable basis. Neither the Joint Sponsors, Underwriters or any of their Connected Persons or advisors, nor we or any of our Connected Persons or advisors has verified the accuracy of the information contained in such sources. We make no representation as to the accuracy of the information contained in such sources, which may not be consistent with other information compiled within or outside the PRC. Accordingly, these industry information and statistics contained herein may not be accurate and should not be unduly relied upon for your investment in us.

Holders of the H Shares may be subject to PRC taxation.

Under current PRC tax laws, regulations and rules, foreign individuals and foreign enterprises that are not PRC residents are subject to different tax obligations with respect to the dividends paid by us or the gains realized upon the sale or other disposition of H Shares. Foreign individuals who are not PRC residents are currently exempted from PRC individual income tax on dividends received from H shares and gains realized by such individuals upon the sale or other disposition of H shares. If the PRC Government withdraws the exemption in the future, such foreign individuals may be required to pay PRC individual income tax unless there are applicable tax treaties between the PRC and the jurisdictions in which the foreign individuals reside that reduce or exempt the relevant tax.

For foreign enterprises that do not have establishments or premises in the PRC, or have establishments or premises in the PRC but their income is not related to such establishments or premises (“ Non-resident Enterprises ”), under the new PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law (the “ New EIT Law ”), they are subject to the

– 43 –

RISK FACTORS

PRC enterprise income tax at a rate of 20% on their PRC-sourced income. The implementation rules to the New EIT Law provide that such tax rate will be reduced to 10%, subject to a further reduction according to applicable treaties on avoidance of double taxation. Further, pursuant to the Notice Concerning Withholding of Corporate Income Tax for Dividends Paid by Chinese Resident Enterprises to H Share Non-resident Enterprises Shareholders Outside the Mainland Territory (Guoshuihan (2008) No. 897) , from 2008 onwards, the enterprise income tax on dividends paid by PRC enterprises to H shareholders that are Non-resident Enterprises shall be withheld at a uniform rate of 10%, subject to reduction according to applicable treaties on avoidance of double taxation. As such, dividends paid by us to our H Shareholders that are Non-resident Enterprises and gains derived from the sale or disposal in other forms of the H Shares by Shareholders that are Non-resident Enterprises are usually subject to the PRC enterprise income tax at the rate of 10%. As the New EIT Law and the implementation rules thereto are new, there remains significant uncertainty as to their interpretation and application by the PRC tax authorities. The implementation of enterprise income tax on capital gain remains uncertain. The PRC tax laws, rules and regulations may also change from time to time. If the tax rates stipulated in the New EIT Law and the related implementation rules are amended, the value of your investment in the H Shares will be materially affected. Please see the appendix entitled “Appendix VI — Taxation and Foreign Exchange” to this prospectus for further details.

WAIVERS FROM STRICT COMPLIANCE WITH THE LISTING RULES

CONNECTED TRANSACTIONS

Members of our Group have entered into, and are expected to continue after the Listing, certain transactions, which will constitute non-exempt continuing connected transactions under the Listing Rules upon Listing. Our Company has applied to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange for waivers from strict compliance with the requirements regarding the announcements and independent shareholders’ approval in respect of such non-exempt continuing connected transactions under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules. The details of such waivers are set out in the section entitled “Connected Transactions” in this prospectus.

MANAGEMENT PRESENCE

According to Rule 8.12 and Rule 19A.15 of the Listing Rules, a new applicant applying for a listing on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange must have a sufficient management presence in Hong Kong, and this normally means that at least two of its executive directors must be ordinarily resident in Hong Kong. Our operations are principally in the PRC and substantially all of the Directors currently reside in the PRC. We do not, and for the foreseeable future will not, have sufficient management presence in Hong Kong for the purpose of satisfying the requirements under Rule 8.12 of the Listing Rules. As a result, we have applied to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange for, and the Hong Kong Stock Exchange has granted us, a waiver in connection with Rules 8.12 and 19A.15 of the Listing Rules, on the following conditions to ensure that regular and effective communication is maintained between the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and us:

  1. We have appointed Wei Hongliang, our executive Director, and Ma Jinru, our company secretary, as our authorized representatives (the “ Authorized Representatives ”) for the purpose of Rule 3.05 of the Listing Rules. They will act as our principal channel of communication with the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. The Authorized Representatives will provide their usual contact details to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange to be readily contactable by the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, and will be available to meet with the Hong Kong Stock Exchange to discuss any matters on short notice;

  2. As and when the Hong Kong Stock Exchange wishes to contact the Directors on any matters, each of the Authorized Representatives will have means to contact all the Directors (including our independent non-executive Directors) promptly at all times. We will implement such measures that (a) each Director must provide his mobile phone numbers, office phone numbers, email addresses and fax numbers to the Authorized Representatives; and (b) in the event that a Director expects to travel and or otherwise be out of office, he will provide the phone number of the place of his accommodation to the Authorized Representatives;

WAIVERS FROM STRICT COMPLIANCE WITH THE LISTING RULES

SUBSCRIPTION FOR SHARES BY EXISTING SHAREHOLDERS

Rule 10.04 of the Listing Rules requires that existing shareholders may only subscribe for securities provided no securities will be offered to them on a preferential basis and no preferential treatment will be given to them in the allocation of the securities.

Our Company has applied for, and the Hong Kong Stock Exchange has granted, a waiver from strict compliance with Listing Rule 10.04 and the consent under paragraph 5(2) of Appendix 6 to the Listing Rules in relation to the placing of our H Shares with our existing A Shareholders or their associates under the International Offering.

The waiver is conditional on each of our A Shareholders placed with our H Shares (i) holding less than 2% of our issued A share capital immediately prior to the Global Offering and exerting no influence over our Company; (ii) not being and not intending to be a Connected Person of our Company; and (iii) being subject to the same book building and allocation process as other investors in the International Offering, and no preferential treatment is given to them in the allocation.

Any placing of our H Shares with our existing A Shareholders will be conducted in accordance with all applicable PRC and Hong Kong laws and regulations.

CLAWBACK MECHANISM

Paragraph 4.2 of the Practice Note 18 of the Listing Rules requires a clawback mechanism to be put in place, which would have the effect of increasing the number of Hong Kong Public Offer Shares to certain percentages of the total number of Offer Shares offered in the Global Offering if certain prescribed total demand levels are reached. An application has been made for, and the Hong Kong Stock Exchange has granted, a waiver from strict compliance with Paragraph 4.2 of Practice Note 18 of the Listing Rules such that the allocation of the Offer Shares between the Hong Kong Public Offering and the International Offering is subject to the following adjustments:

  • k If the number of the Offer Shares validly applied for under the Hong Kong Public Offering represents ten times or more but less than 40 times the number of the Offer Shares initially available for subscription under the Hong Kong Public Offering, then Offer Shares will be reallocated to the Hong Kong Public Offering from the International Offering, so that the total number of the Offer Shares available under the Hong Kong Public Offering will be 59,294,400 Offer Shares, representing 15% of the Offer Shares initially available under the Global Offering;

  • k If the number of the Offer Shares validly applied for under the Hong Kong Public Offering represents 40 times or more but less than 50 times the number of the Offer Shares initially available for subscription under the Hong Kong Public Offering, then the number of Offer Shares to be reallocated to the Hong Kong Public Offering from the International Offering will be increased so that the total number of the Offer Shares available under the Hong Kong Public Offering will be 79,058,800 Offer Shares, representing 20% of the Offer Shares initially available under the Global Offering; and

  • k If the number of the Offer Shares validly applied for under the Hong Kong Public Offering represents 50 times or more the number of the Offer Shares initially available for subscription under the Hong Kong Public Offering, then the number of Offer Shares to be reallocated to the Hong Kong Public Offering from the International Offering will be increased, so that the total number of the Offer Shares available under the Hong Kong Public Offering will be 118,588,400 Offer Shares, representing 30% of the Offer Shares initially available under the Global Offering.

INDUSTRY OVERVIEW

The information presented in this section is derived from various publications. None of these publications was commissioned by us or the Joint Sponsors or their respective affiliates or advisors. While reasonable care has been taken in the extraction, compilation and reproduction of such information and statistics, neither we, the Joint Bookrunners, the Joint Sponsors, or the Underwriters, nor any of their respective affiliates or advisors, nor any party involved in the Global Offering have independently verified such information and statistics, and such parties do not make any representation as to their correctness, accuracy, completeness or fairness. The information in this section may not be consistent with, or may not have been compiled with the same degree of accuracy or completeness as, statistical or other information compiled elsewhere. You should not place undue reliance on statements herein.

Power Generation

The global demand for electricity has increased substantially with the rapid growth of the global economy, in particular the economic growth of developing countries and corresponding increases in energy consumption levels. According to statistics from the EIA, global power generation volume has increased from 14,848.7 TWh in 2001 to 18,778.7 TWh in 2007 at a CAGR of 4.0%. Correspondingly, to meet the global demand for power generation, the world’s accumulated installed capacity has also increased, from 3,551.4 GW in 2001 to 4,428.4 GW in 2007 at a CAGR of 3.7%.

Similarly, there has been a considerable rise in China’s power generation volume from 1,480.8 TWh in 2001 to 3,663.9 TWh in 2009 at a CAGR of 12.0% as the development and industrialization of its economy progresses at an accelerated pace. To meet the demand for power generation in China, China’s accumulated installed power capacity has increased significantly, from 338.6 GW in 2001 to 874.1 GW in 2009 at a CAGR of 12.6%. Although the growth rate of China’s power generation volume and installed capacity has been much higher than the world average in recent years, as indicated in the following chart, China’s per capita power generation volume is still significantly lower than those of developed countries, suggesting its demand for power generation will continue to increase.

Per capita power generation volume of various countries in 2008 (MWh)

Renewable Power Generation

With rising concern over energy shortages, the environmental threat posed by global warming and the emission of greenhouse gases, there has been growing pressure in the power generation industry for improved energy savings and emission reductions. This has translated into vast growth potential for the renewable power generation industry. According to the EIA, global accumulated installed capacity of renewable energy grew from

– 58 –

INDUSTRY OVERVIEW

63.9 GW in 2001 to 160.4 GW in 2007, at a CAGR of 16.6%, and accounted for 3.6% of global installed capacity of all energy sources in 2007 as compared to 1.8% in 2001.

Renewable energy is a viable alternative capable of meeting the energy needs of the growing Chinese economy and its sustained development, especially in view of the rapid depletion of finite conventional energy sources such as oil, coal and natural gas. Moreover, the emission of greenhouse gases in the PRC has increased in tandem with the rapid growth of its economy. According to the IEA’s World Energy Outlook 2008, China has surpassed the United States as the world’s largest source of carbon dioxide emissions from power generation through the use of coal, petroleum and natural gases, with 2,829 million tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions in 2006. In 2002, China formally ratified the Kyoto Protocol, promulgated a series of laws and regulations since 2005 to encourage the development and use of renewable energy, and also pledged on November 26, 2009 to cut its greenhouse gas emissions per unit of GDP by 40% to 45% by 2020 compared with 2005 levels. Please see the section entitled “Regulations” in this prospectus for further details. According to statistical data from CEIC, China’s installed capacity of renewable energy has grown rapidly in recent years at a CAGR of 60.4% between 2001 and 2009.

Global Wind Power Generation

With more mature and reliable technology, and as one of the most price-competitive forms of renewable energy, wind power is generally perceived as having the greatest commercial value among renewable energy sources and is being vigorously promoted by various governments. For instance, in the United States, under its American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, up to US$93.0 million in incentives for wind energy has been set aside in the form of grants, loan guarantees and tax incentives.

Accumulated installed wind power capacity registered rapid growth from 24.9 GW in 2001 to 160.1 GW in 2009 at a CAGR of 26.2% according to statistics from BTM[(1)] , whereas newly installed wind power capacity increased to 38.1 GW in 2009, a growth of 35.2% over the previous year. It is further estimated that installed wind power capacity will continue to grow rapidly in the future and the CAGR of the accumulated installed wind power capacity and newly installed wind power capacity will be 22.8% and 13.5% respectively, from 2009 to 2014.

(1) Founded in 1986, BTM is a private independent consultancy company based in Denmark and specializing in renewable energy, including wind energy. BTM states on its website that its staff has been working with wind energy utilization since 1979. Services provided by BTM include market assessment and business development, appraisal and due diligence investigations. It has published, among other things, International Wind Energy Development - World Market Update, a non-governmental publication, on an annual basis since 1995, which contains statistics and market updates regarding the global wind energy industry. Neither the Directors nor the Joint Sponsors commissioned BTM to prepare any research report and BTM is an Independent Third Party of our Group.

According to the World Meteorological Organization and the Chinese Academy of Meteorological Sciences, there is approximately 20,000 GW of wind energy resources globally available for use. Much of these wind energy resources are distributed across the northern and western coastal areas of Europe and parts of the Mediterranean Sea, East Asia and certain parts of the interior, northern and western coastal areas in Africa, the western and southern coastal areas in Australia, the coastal and certain interior areas in North America, especially the mountain areas, as well as the southern portion of South America. According to BTM, the top five wind power markets in 2009 based on accumulated installed capacity were the United States, China, Germany, Spain and India, and growth in the global accumulated installed wind power capacity is expected to come primarily from China and the United States. It is estimated that the CAGR of the accumulated installed wind power capacity of these two countries will reach 32.3% and 23.3%, respectively, from 2009 to 2014, while installed wind power capacity in Europe will continue to grow, but at a slower rate. The following chart shows the accumulated installed wind power capacity of these top five wind power markets and their estimated accumulated installed wind power capacity by 2014 and the CAGR for 2009 to 2014.

INDUSTRY OVERVIEW

Wind Power Generation in China

The wind power industry in the PRC has grown more rapidly than most other forms of renewable energy in recent years. According to the CEIC, as of December 31, 2009, wind power accounted for more than 99% of the accumulated installed capacity of renewable energy in the PRC. China also became the world’s largest wind power market in 2009 in terms of newly installed wind power capacity with 13.8 GW, and electricity generated from wind power accounted for 0.7% of total electricity generated in China.

Despite such high growth rates, according to the EIA and BTM, China’s installed wind power capacity accounted for only 0.8% of China’s accumulated installed capacity in 2007, significantly less than the 16.8%, 16.6% and 1.7% of Germany, Spain and the United States, respectively. Historically, China has exceeded installed wind power capacity targets set by its government on numerous occasions. For example, the PRC Government established a wind power development plan in accordance with the 11th Five-Year Plan for Renewable Energy issued by the NDRC with a target accumulated installed wind power capacity of 10 GW by the end of 2010, but in fact, China’s accumulated installed wind power capacity exceeded 12.1 GW by the end of 2008. According to BTM, China’s accumulated installed wind power capacity is expected to grow more than four-fold from 2009 to 2014, representing a CAGR of 32.3%. Moreover, the Chinese Wind Energy Association[(1)] forecasted that China’s accumulated installed wind power capacity will grow almost ten-fold from 2009 to 2020, reaching 247.8 GW in 2020, representing a CAGR of 22.8%. Even though industry reports have made positive forecasts on the Chinese wind power market, the Chinese wind power market has repeatedly out-performed forecasts. For example, in March 2008, BTM forecasted China’s newly installed wind power capacity in 2008 would be 5.5 GW, but the actual newly installed wind power capacity was 6.2 GW; in March 2009, BTM forecasted China’s newly installed wind power capacity in 2009 would be 7.3 GW, but the actual newly installed wind power capacity was 13.8 GW.

The following charts show China’s accumulated installed wind power capacity and newly installed wind power capacity from 2001 to 2009 and estimated accumulated installed wind power capacity and newly installed wind power capacity by 2014.

INDUSTRY OVERVIEW

China possesses abundant wind energy resources. According to the assessment results of the United Nations Environment Program, China has technically feasible wind power resources of 3,000 GW and BTM estimated that wind energy will be the third largest energy source for power generation by 2030, after coal and hydropower. China’s wind energy resources are distributed extensively throughout the north of China as well as the coastal and island areas of China. According to statistics published by the Chinese Wind Energy Association, the top five wind power markets in 2009 based on accumulated installed wind power capacity were Inner Mongolia, Hebei, Liaoning, Jilin and Heilongjiang, with 9,196.2 MW, 2,788.1 MW, 2,425.3 MW, 2,063.9 MW and 1,659.8 MW, respectively.

The following map shows the distribution of wind energy resources in the PRC.

INDUSTRY OVERVIEW

Growth Drivers of the Global Wind Power Industry

We believe that the following growth drivers will facilitate the development of the global wind power industry, thereby increasing the demand for our products and services:

Energy independence and security considerations Increased concern about energy security and energy independence are pushing countries, particularly those with insufficient conventional energy resources, towards renewable energy sources which provide a local and secure supply and reduce risk of volatility in prices of conventional energy sources.

Environmental concerns There is growing awareness of environmental protection issues and greenhouse gas emissions from the use of fossil energy. As one of the lowest greenhouse gas emission producing alternative energy sources and being relatively easy to develop on a large-scale basis, wind power has garnered widespread support.

Rising global energy demand and increasing costs of fossil fuels Statistics published by the EIA have shown that future economic growth and an increase in energy consumption will lead to greater global demand for energy. This is expected to reduce the supplies of and eventually exhaust finite fossil fuel sources such as coal, petroleum and natural gas, resulting in price hikes. Countries are turning to renewable energy to mitigate these pressures and limit their impact.

Governmental support for renewable energy and wind power Countries have enacted financial policies such as preferential tax rates and feed-in tariffs to encourage the development of renewable energy, in particular wind power. In addition, wind energy provides support to the pursuit of sustained economic development and creates employment opportunities for the local population.

Cost advantages of wind power The cost of wind power is, to a substantial extent, lower than that of other forms of renewable energy, and under certain circumstances, gradually becoming cost competitive with conventional energy sources. Moreover, factors such as expansion in the scale of wind farm projects, technological advancements which improve the efficiency and availability of wind power equipment, greater economies of scale in the production of wind power equipment as well as more low cost financing opportunities for wind farm projects are expected to further reduce the cost of wind power.

Technological advancements in wind power Investments in the R&D of wind power have resulted in major technological breakthroughs. Future wind power technological advancements will continue to improve the performance of wind power equipment while reducing the cost of wind power, thereby allowing greater development of global wind energy resources.

Growth Drivers of the PRC Wind Power Industry

In addition to the above main growth drivers of the global wind power industry, primary factors driving the growth of wind power generation in China include:

Policy requirements China has implemented a series of wind power policies which have sped up the development of the wind power industry, including a target of having 3% and 8% of attributable installed capacity of renewable power generation by power producers with attributable installed capacity of over 5 GW by 2010 and 2020, respectively. Please see the section entitled “Regulations — Overall Industry Regulation Planning and Guidance” in this prospectus for more details. Investment in wind power has consequently increased to better meet these new requirements.

– 63 –

INDUSTRY OVERVIEW

Preferential support The PRC Government has launched a series of favorable policies for wind power including preferential tax rates, on-grid benchmark tariffs, facilitating bank loans, investment in R&D and stipulating that Chinese power grids must purchase all the power generated from renewable energy and construct infrastructure for transmission and distribution of such power. Please see the section entitled “Regulations” in this prospectus. Those favorable policies encourage strategic and financial investors to invest in wind farms, which could generate attractive returns.

Improvements in grid infrastructure The PRC Government and state-owned grids have implemented several measures and indicated plans to significantly invest in the construction of ultra high voltage transmission infrastructure, and a smart grid featuring distributed power supply and storage. Such measures will help address the grid connectivity bottleneck currently faced by the wind power industry.

Better ability to exploit wind resources Potential wind farm projects have recently been identified in China’s inland provinces such as Jiangxi, Henan, Shanxi and Shaanxi, and these areas have consequently become emerging markets for the wind power industry. With a better ability to exploit wind resources, more areas for development are expected to be identified in China.

Wind Power Value Chain

The wind power value chain consists of parts and components suppliers, WTG design houses, WTG suppliers, operation and management service providers, wind farm project consultants, construction contractors as well as wind farm investors and developers. The following diagram illustrates the value chain of the wind power industry.

INDUSTRY OVERVIEW

Supply Chain of Key Components

A typical WTG consists of approximately 8,000 parts and components. WTG manufacturers generally choose to purchase such parts and components from external suppliers or manufacture components in-house. Core parts and components of WTGs include:

Blade Blades may be purchased or manufactured in-house by WTG manufacturers.

Control system The control system usually consists of a converter system, a variable pitch system and a master control system and is generally manufactured in-house by WTG manufacturers.

Generator The wind power generator is mostly manufactured by large generator manufacturers.

Drive train system The drive train system mainly consists of the gearbox, bearings, a wheel hub and a spindle and is generally outsourced.

Tower The tower is usually manufactured locally in close proximity to the project site.

China’s WTG Manufacturing Industry

Competitive Landscape

Compared to Europe and North America, the PRC wind power industry is relatively new and Chinese WTG manufacturers generally chose to acquire foreign WTG technologies through licensing or the establishment of joint ventures. In 2005, the PRC Government introduced the requirement that at least 70% of the wind turbine components (by purchase value) are to be domestically manufactured (repealed in 2009) and this played a large role in promoting the initial development of the PRC wind power equipment manufacturing industry. With the gradual growth of the domestic manufacturers, they have managed to be more cost-competitive and are now able to supply auxiliary parts and components in a timely manner and offer localized after-sales services, resulting in a steady growth in their market share compared to foreign competitors. According to BTM, WTGs manufactured by domestic and Sino-foreign joint venture suppliers had already accounted for 87.7% of China’s newly installed wind power capacity in 2009. The following chart shows the market share of Chinese WTG manufacturers from 2004 to 2009.

accumulated installed capacity as of December 31, 2009 were Sinovel Wind Group Co., Ltd., our Group, Dongfang Electric Co., Ltd, Vestas Wind Systems A/S[(1)] and Gamesa Corporación Tecnológica, S.A.[(2)] with a market share of 21.9%, 20.7%, 12.9%, 7.8% and 7.1%, respectively.

The investment cost for a wind farm project is not only determined by the price of WTGs but also that of ancillary equipment as well as construction, operation and maintenance costs. As WTGs have a 20-year lifespan and operate outdoors year-round, PRC wind farm investors and developers often consider the efficiency, reliability and maintenance costs of WTGs and the quality of after-sales services in addition to price before making a purchase. Therefore, those WTG manufacturers that are able to offer highly reliable WTG products with effective designs at lower production costs have a competitive advantage in the PRC market.

WTG Product Mix and Technological Trends

According to statistics published by BTM, the average unit capacity of newly installed WTGs in China has grown from 726 kW in 2003 to 1,360 kW in 2009, representing an increase of over 80%. In terms of accumulated installed capacity, the average unit capacity of WTGs in China has grown from 539 kW in 2003 to 1,170 kW in 2009, representing an increase of over 100%, showing a clear trend towards larger-sized units. Among WTG models, 1.5 MW WTGs constitute the largest segment in China and the following chart shows the market share of the 1.5 MW WTGs from 2005 to 2009.

In November 2007, Asia’s first offshore 1.5 MW direct-drive permanent magnet WTG, which was manufactured by us, was installed in Bohai Bay, PRC. With growing attention paid to offshore wind resources, an increasing number of Chinese WTG manufacturers are expected to manufacture offshore WTG products. According to the Chinese Wind Energy Association, China’s newly installed capacity of offshore WTGs, will be 114 MW, 215 MW, 260 MW, 380 MW, 700 MW and 1000 MW from 2010 to 2015, respectively, representing a CAGR of 54.4%.

Prior to 2008, WTGs installed in China mainly adopted the gearbox-driven technology. However, as the advantages of gearless direct-drive WTGs have been gradually recognized by Chinese wind power investors, the proportion of installed capacity of WTGs adopting the direct-drive technology has been increasing. According to the Chinese Wind Energy Association, the market share of direct-drive WTGs in China grew from 0.2% in 2005 to 17.5% in 2009, and it was forecasted that the increase will continue.

INDUSTRY OVERVIEW

Entry Barriers

We believe the entry barriers to the PRC WTG manufacturing industry are as follows:

Track record Buyers exercise great care in selecting WTG manufacturers and historical performance is perceived as a reliable indicator of product quality and capabilities of a WTG manufacturer. WTG manufacturers with a longer operating history generally have a competitive advantage as it takes three to five years to bring a WTG from the design stage to actual production.

Technological expertise The design and manufacture of WTGs with large capacities are highly complex, involving a wide variety of technologies, including aerodynamics, multi-body dynamics, simulation technology and testing technologies. In order to develop a WTG series suitable for the PRC’s diverse geographical climates and able to meet the needs of Chinese customers, WTG manufacturers must possess both practical experience and technological expertise.

Supply chain WTG manufacturers must possess strong supply chain management capability and maintain long-term relationships with parts and components suppliers for the design and manufacture of WTGs. As the technical barriers for the manufacture of various core components are high, WTG manufacturers will require a substantial amount of time to collaborate with domestic suppliers so as to ensure a stable and high quality supply. In particular, foreign WTG manufacturers may encounter greater difficulties in establishing a supply chain in China.

Financial strength The WTG manufacturing industry requires significant initial investment. Such initial investment may not be recovered in the near term and profitability is realized only after a certain level of production scale has been attained, so WTG manufacturers must have a strong capital position and ready access to financing.

Qualified personnel The wind power industry being an emerging industry, there is a general lack of personnel with extensive industry experience who are well-versed in the technologies involved. For small-scale manufacturers or new entrants, their technical personnel may lack the practical experience and technical expertise possessed by the technical personnel of large manufacturers or those with a longer operating history.

Remediation capability Risks of design and product defects arise as the unit capacity and volume of WTGs produced increase. With the mass deployment of WTGs in the PRC and the related contractual warranties and obligations involved, any significant PRC WTG manufacturer must have the financial and technical capability to remediate technical defaults on a large scale, facing a possible sudden decline in customer orders or being exposed to product liability claims.

Overall Industry Regulation Planning and Guidance

The Energy Conservation Law of the PRC promulgated by the Standing Committee of the 8th NPC on November 1, 1997, as amended on October 28, 2007, has been implemented since April 1, 2008. Under this legislation, the conservation of resources is recognized as a basic national policy of China. The PRC Government implements an energy development strategy that concurrently promotes conservation and development, and recognizes energy conservation as a priority.

The Renewable Energy Law of the PRC was promulgated on February 28, 2005, and has been implemented since January 1, 2006. The amendment of The Renewable Energy Law of the PRC was passed by the 12th meeting of the Standing Committee of the 11th NPC on December 26, 2009. It outlines a regulatory framework for the development and use of renewable energy. The main purpose of this legislation is to promote the development and use of renewable energy, increase energy supply, improve the energy structure, safeguard the safety of energy, protect the environment and eventually achieve sustainable economic and social development in China.

The law stipulates that power grids shall sign grid connection agreements with renewable power generation enterprises, acquire the full amount of their grid-connected power and provide power grid connection services in relation to power generated by renewable energy sources. Meanwhile, the law has also preliminarily formulated measures for the management of on-grid tariffs for renewable energy. Under this law, the higher costs incurred for purchasing electricity generated by renewable energy as compared to costs calculated on the basis of the average on-grid tariff for electricity generated by conventional energy sources shall be compensated by amounts collected from a renewable energy tariff imposed on the sale of electricity nationwide. Grid connection costs and relevant expenses reasonably incurred by a power grid in purchasing electricity generated by renewable energy may be included in its power transmission costs and recovered through the retail electricity price.

In addition, the law provides for the establishment of a renewable energy development fund, which shall be used for compensation payments of additional costs and the support of five production and construction activities in

REGULATIONS

relation to renewable energy. It also provides that financial institutions may offer preferential loans with financial discounts for renewable energy development and utilization projects, which are listed in the renewable energy industry development guidance catalogue and which fulfill credit requirements. In addition, the state shall adopt a tax incentive policy for projects that are listed in the renewable energy industry development guidance catalogue.

On August 31, 2007, the NDRC issued the Medium and Long-Term Development Plan for Renewable Energy, which indicates that China should strive to achieve the goal of having at least 10% and 15% of the total energy consumption in the PRC being made up of consumption of renewable energy (including hydropower) by 2010 and 2020, respectively. In regions covered by a major power grid, the percentage of power generated by renewable energy sources shall reach at least 1% and 3% of the total power generated by the power grid by 2010 and 2020, respectively. Meanwhile, for investors with attributable installed capacity of over 5 GW for power generation, the percentage of the attributable installed capacity of renewable power generation must reach over 3% and 8% of the attributable installed power capacity owned by them by 2010 and 2020, respectively. Moreover, with respect to wind power generation, the plan also requires full leverage of the economic strength of the more developed coastal regions and the natural resources of China’s “the three northern regions”, being the northwestern, northern and northeastern regions, to construct large and mega wind power stations. The plan also calls for other regions in China to construct medium and small wind power stations as appropriate.

The Notice from the NDRC Regarding the Issuance of the 11th Five-Year Plan for the Development of Renewable Energy was promulgated by the NDRC and took effect on March 3, 2008. According to this notice, during the 11th Five-Year Plan period, newly installed wind power capacity in China was approximately 9 GWand the total install capacity of wind power in China is expected to reach 10 GW by 2010. In addition, annual production capacity for wind power equipment and whole units manufactured domestically will reach 5 GW, and the production capacity of parts and components is expected to reach 8 GW by 2010, laying a solid foundation for the rapid development of wind power after 2010. Together with the construction of power supply facilities in regions with no electricity supply, a small wind power equipment industry and market should be actively developed. This notice anticipates that by 2010, the number of small WTGs in use will reach 300,000 units, with a total capacity of 75 MW, and the annual equipment production capacity will reach 8,000 sets. It further anticipates that approximately 30 key large wind farms that exceed 100 MW and five wind power bases at the 1,000 MW level will be constructed. This notice is aimed at fully leveraging the advantage of “the three northern regions” in wind power resources and constructing large and mega wind farms in those regions.

A Development Guide Directory for the Renewable Energy Industry was promulgated by the NDRC on November 29, 2005. The document sets out 88 types of renewable energy projects (including hydropower) which, if other requirements are met, will be entitled to favorable tax rates, preferential loans with discounts and special funds. The directory provides an itemized description of the technologies of the renewable energy (including hydropower) projects, so as to facilitate the provision of information by competent government authorities and the development of policies and measures to support such projects.

The Relevant Management Regulations on Power Generation by Renewable Energy was promulgated by the NDRC on January 5, 2006, and provides that: (i) management of projects for power generation from renewable energy (including hydropower), including electricity generated from wind power, will be implemented in a hierarchical fashion by the central and local governments, while the NRDC is responsible for the planning and policy development of projects for power generation from renewable energy (including hydropower) at the state level, in addition to the management of projects that require state examination or approval. The competent authorities of provincial governments in charge of energy are responsible for the management of projects for power generation from renewable energy (including hydropower) within their own jurisdictions; (ii) wind power

generation projects at 50 MW and above will require examination and approval by the NDRC while other projects will require the examination and approval by competent authorities of provincial governments in charge of investments and filing with the NDRC. Projects involving power generation from biomass, geothermal, ocean and solar energy that require state policy and funding support should be filed with the NDRC; (iii) grid tariffs of projects for power generation from renewable energy (including hydropower) shall be set by competent authorities of the State Council in charge of pricing, taking into account the characteristics of different types of renewable energy (including hydropower) for power generation and different regions, on the principle of promoting the development and utilization of renewable energy (including hydropower) on a reasonable and economical basis, and shall be adjusted and disclosed to the public at appropriate times based on the progress of the technologies that develop and utilize renewable energy (including hydropower); and (iv) power generation enterprises shall actively invest in and construct projects for power generation from renewable energy (including hydropower) and comply with obligations imposed by the state in relation to the power generation quotas for renewable energy sources (including hydropower), while the quota targets and management measures for power generation shall be separately provided for, and large power generation enterprises shall invest in renewable power generation projects as a priority.

The Management Measures for Preliminary Work on Wind Power Concession Projects , which was promulgated in 2003 by the NDRC, expressly provides that a wind power concession project refers to a wind power generation project, the construction of which requires a public bid for investor selection. Preliminary work of wind power concession projects includes wind energy resource evaluation, wind farm site selection and wind farm pre-feasibility study.

Production of Wind Power Equipment

Management of special funds

On February 13, 2006, the State Council submitted its Several Opinions on Accelerating Revival of the Equipment Manufacturing Industry . These opinions are designed to enhance the competitiveness of the PRC’s equipment manufacturing industry and are aimed at domestic equipment manufacturing enterprises that have a competitive edge, independent intellectual property rights and key technologies, in order to meet the demands of key sectors such as energy, transportation, raw materials and national defense. These include the production of large-scale renewable energy equipment, such as WTGs, in order to meet the domestic demand for electric power construction.

The Interim Measures for Management of Special Funds for the Development of Renewable Energy has been implemented since May 30, 2006. These measures state that the PRC Government will set up “special funds for the development of renewable energy” whereby five categories of renewable energy construction or relevant projects, such as scientific and technical research on the development and utilization of renewable energy and localized production of equipment, will be supported by subsidies and discount loans.

The Interim Measures for Management of Special Funds for the Industrialization of Wind Power Generation Equipment was promulgated by the Ministry of Finance on August 11, 2008, and provides funding support for the industrialization of enterprises in the PRC that manufacture wind power generation equipment (including whole machines and impellers, gearboxes, power generators as well as parts and components such as inverters and bearings) with PRC investments and controlled by PRC investors. Funds for such industrialization come mainly in the form of subsidies to enterprises for the production of the first 50 units of MW-level WTGs which are newlydeveloped and produced after industrialization. The subsidies also cover ancillary parts and components. The amount of subsidies is based on installed capacity and other standards provided.

REGULATIONS

Domestically manufactured wind power equipment components

On July 4, 2005, the NDRC promulgated the Notice of the NDRC in Relation to the Relevant Requirements of the Management of Wind Power Construction , which stipulates that at least 70% of wind turbine components (by purchase value) shall be manufactured domestically. This requirement had a relatively large effect on promoting the initial development of the PRC wind power equipment manufacturing industry. As a result of significant improvements in the production standards and after-sales service capabilities of domestic manufacturers, the pricing and after-sale services of domestically manufactured WTGs are now more competitive. In 2009, the PRC Government removed the restriction on the proportion of wind turbine components that must be domestically manufactured, which resulted in the PRC WTG market becoming completely market-oriented.

Prevention of overcapacity in wind power equipment industry

On September 26, 2009, the State Council promulgated the Notice of the NDRC and other Departments of Certain Opinions in Relation to Curbing Overcapacity and Repeated Construction in Some Industries and Guiding the Healthy Development of Industries , in which the PRC Government stated that in its implementation of regulations on prevention of overcapacity in the wind power equipment industry, it will “exercise strict control over the blind expansion of the production of wind power equipment, encourage leading enterprises to become larger and stronger” and limit price competition. As such, we are of the view that this policy will not have any material adverse effect on leading wind power equipment manufacturers in the PRC, including our Group.

Wind Power Project Development

Power Generation Business License

On September 28, 2005, the chairman’s Office Meeting of the SERC promulgated the Provisions on the Administration of Electric Power Business Licenses (the “ Licensing Provisions ”), which stipulates that the PRC electric power industry must adopt a market access license system. According to the Licensing Provisions, the electric power business licenses are divided into three categories, namely power generation, power transmission and power supply, each corresponding to enterprises engaging in the businesses of power generation, power transmission and power supply. No PRC company or individual is allowed to participate in any electric power activities without having obtained an electric power business license issued by the SERC unless otherwise stipulated by the SERC. Electric power activities include but are not limited to power generation, power transmission, power distribution and power supply. According to the Notice Regarding Expediting the Issuance of Electric Power Business Licenses promulgated by the SERC, power plants that were constructed and commenced operations between December 1, 2005 and July 31, 2006 must obtain a power generation business license by the end of 2006. For power plants that commenced operations after August 1, 2006 which have newly constructed power generation projects, their operators must obtain power generation business licenses within three months after both the new and existing projects commence operations. Pursuant to the Licensing Provisions, an application for a power generation business license can only be filed after the relevant administrative approvals in respect of inspection of the power generation project upon completion, inspection of the power generation equipment upon commencement of operations, as well as environmental compliance matters have been obtained.

Offshore Wind Power Projects

On January 22, 2010, the NEA and the State Oceanic Administration jointly promulgated the Interim Measures for Management of the Development and Construction of Offshore Wind Power Projects , which stipulate that offshore wind power projects are the projects located at sea areas where the coastal line is below the average

– 74 –

REGULATIONS

level of spring tide and high tide over a multiple year period and on deserted islands in the corresponding sea area. According to the measures, the enterprises engaged in the development and investment of the offshore wind power projects will be selected through a tender process on a priority basis. Such enterprises shall be Chinese funded enterprises or Sino-foreign joint venture enterprises controlled by Chinese investors (with equity interest of above 50.0%). In addition, offshore wind power projects shall not commence construction until approvals of such projects and the right to use such sea area has been obtained.

Supervision of Power Supply

On November 26, 2009, the chairman’s Office Meeting of the SERC promulgated the Measures for Supervision of Power Supply, which stipulates that enterprises with electric power business licenses and engaging in power supply business should be subject to the supervision of the SERC and its agencies. The scope of supervision includes the enterprise’s power supply capacity, quality of the power supply, safety conditions of the power supply, circumstances of fulfilling obligations relating to universal service of electric power as well as situations relating to the handling of power consumption business.

Dispatch

In the PRC, except for power generated by facilities not connected to the power grids, all power is distributed through power grids. In such cases, a distribution center manages and is responsible for distributing power to various power grids. The operations of such distribution centers are subject to supervision under the Power Grid Dispatch Management Regulations promulgated and implemented on November 1, 1993 by the State Council (the “ Dispatch Regulations ”) and their implementing measures.

The Dispatch Regulations and their implementing measures provide that distribution centers shall be divided into five levels, namely national power grid, multi-provincial power grid, provincial power grid, municipal power grid and county power grid levels. Based on comprehensive consideration of relevant factors such as daily power load demand, internal water level, fuel supplies, capacity of power grid equipment and equipment servicing requirements, the distribution centers will prepare a daily power generation curve for implementation by the various power plants, including active power, reactive power and voltage.

Distribution centers prepare power generation and power supply distribution plans in accordance with plans issued by the state, relevant power supply and power grid synchronization agreements, and the equipment capacities of power grids.

Power Generation Prices and Quotas

The determination of the price of electric power is represented as a matter of principle in the relevant provisions of The Electric Power Law of the PRC (the “ Electric Power Law ”). In short, the price of electric power should represent a rational compensation for the cost of power generation and provide a reasonable return on investment. The price should take into account a fair allocation of expenditure, encourage the construction of power generation projects and go through an annual examination and approval process by the NDRC and provincial pricing authorities.

In addition to the relevant provisions of the Electric Power Law, on July 3, 2003, the State Council approved the Reform Plan for the Price of Electric Power (the “ Reform Plan ”), which notes that the long term goal is to establish a standardized and transparent pricing mechanism for electric power on the power grid.

– 75 –

REGULATIONS

On March 28, 2005, the NDRC promulgated the Interim Measures for the Administration of the Power Grid Electric Power Price . These measures took effect on May 1, 2005, and provide regulatory guidance with respect to the above reform plan. For power plants located within power grids in areas where a pricing mechanism for power based on competitive bidding has not been implemented, competent authorities in charge of price shall determine and disclose the power tariff of the power grids to the public. This price is based on the production cost and a reasonable return on investment. For power plants located in areas where a pricing mechanism for power based on competitive bidding has been implemented, the power tariff comprises two components: (a) the WTG capacity tariff as determined by the NDRC, which is based on the average cost of investment in various power generation units within the power grids in the same area; and (b) the power tariff determined through a competitive bidding process. In addition, the NDRC plans to gradually achieve the transition from WTG capacity tariff to power tariff.

The Interim Trial Measures for the Administration of the Price of Renewable Energy Power Generation and Expense Allocation was issued by the NDRC and has been implemented since January 1, 2006. These measures correspond to the Notice Regarding the Relevant Requirements for the Construction and Management of Wind Power . These measures also provide that the power price of wind farms shall be measured and determined by competent authorities of the State Council in charge of prices based on actual circumstances of various regions on the principle of cost plus profit, and shall be made public. The notice provides that the power price of wind power concession construction projects shall be determined through a tendering process, but cannot be higher than the power price level set by competent authorities of the State Council in charge of prices. Meanwhile, such measures determine the price allocation mechanism for wind power projects.

The Measures on Supervision and Administration of Grid Enterprises in the Purchase of Renewable Energy Power was implemented on September 1, 2007, which further enforces The Renewable Energy Law of the PRC (the “ Renewable Energy Law ”) and the relevant regulations. The measures effectively promote power grid synchronization for power generation from renewable energy in China and regulate the actions carried out by power grids in relation to their acquisition of the full amount of electricity generated from renewable energy. The electric power regulatory authorities implement the regulation of eight aspects of the design of renewable energy projects, covering the construction of projects for power generation from renewable energy by power grids, dispatch of power generated from renewable energy on a priority basis by power distribution authorities, and acquisition of the full amount of the electricity generated from renewable energy by power grids. The power regulation authorities may disclose to the public any acts by electric power enterprises or power distribution authorities in violation of state rules on the acquisition of the full amount of the electricity generated from renewable energy, and how such acts are being dealt with.

The Interim Measures for the Adjustment and Assignment of Additional Revenue from Electricity Tariff from Renewable Energy provides that power grid access fees for wind farms shall be incorporated into a surcharge on the electric power price of renewable energy in order to compensate wind farms. The Notice from the NDRC Regarding Perfection of Policies Regarding the Grid Tariffs of Wind Power Generation, which has been implemented since August 1, 2009, provides that the benchmark power prices for wind power, based on the degree of wind energy resources and the project construction conditions, will be from RMB0.51 per kWh to RMB0.61 per kWh.

The Notice for Regulating Relevant Issues of Electric Energy Trading Price Management , which was promulgated by the NDRC, the SERC and the NEA on October 11, 2009, clarified the trading prices between power generation enterprises and power grids, and prices for cross-provincial and cross-regional electric energy trading. According to the notice, once the power generation unit is put into commercial operation, other than crossprovincial and cross-regional trading of electric energy and as otherwise provided by the state, on-grid tariffs formulated by the competent governmental department in charge of pricing should apply to its on-grid power

– 76 –

REGULATIONS

output. Prior to commercial operation of the power generation unit, on-grid tariffs approved by the competent department in charge of pricing is applicable from the date on which power generation units for renewable energy sources establish connection to the grid. When power generation enterprises commence the ramp-up process or voluntarily stop operations, and have to purchase electricity from power grids as a result, the applicable price should be in accordance with the large-scale industrial class power tariff standards in the local catalog price list. Prices of cross-provincial and cross-regional trading of electric energy shall consist of power delivery prices, power transmission prices (costs) and transmission losses.

In addition to the above, the relevant departments promulgate notices from time to time regarding matters relating to additional allocation and subsidies of renewable energy tariffs for a certain period pursuant to the abovementioned laws and regulations. An example is the Notice from the NDRC and the SERC Regarding the Trading Scheme for Subsidies and Quota of Power Tariffs for Renewable Energy from January to June, 2009 promulgated by the NDRC and the SERC on December 17, 2009, which regulates relevant matters such as projects with subsidies for renewable energy tariffs, the amount of such subsidies, and trading of power tariffs with quotas from January to June, 2009.

Mandatory Purchase and Priority Right of Distribution

According to the Relevant Management Regulations on Power Generation by Renewable Energy , the SERC and its authorized agencies should supervise the power grids in respect of their mandatory purchase and gridconnection obligations. Power grids that are unable to, or fail to, perform the above responsibilities will be penalized. The SERC may also require power grids to compensate losses suffered by the relevant renewable energy enterprises and remedy their non-performance within a designated period of time. If the power grids refuse, they may be subject to a fine in an amount not exceeding two times the amount of the renewable power generation enterprises’ losses. These measures took effect on September 1, 2007.

On August 2, 2007, the State Council approved its Measures for Energy Conservation in the Dispatch of Power Generation (Trial) , with the aims of improving the utilization of natural resources, encouraging conservation of energy and achieving sustainable development. According to these measures, power generation companies that use non-adjustable renewable energy sources (including hydropower) such as wind, solar energy and hydropower enjoy the highest priority with respect to distribution of renewable energy resources.

The right to priority in the dispatch of power generation units is determined by laws and regulations, and power is dispatched according to the following order: (i) non-adjustable power generation units that use renewable energy (including hydropower); (ii) adjustable power generation units that use renewable energy (including hydropower); (iii) nuclear energy power generation units; (iv) thermal power units and power generation units with integrated utilization of resources; (v) gas power generation units; (vi) other coal fuelled power generation units with no thermal load, which include thermal power units with no thermal loads; and (vii) fuel oil power generation units.

CDM

The arrangements of the CDM was established by the Kyoto Protocol under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, which principally states that industrialized countries contributing to a reduction of greenhouse gas emissions can invest in projects in developing countries that reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and obtain emission credits, known as CERs, therefrom. Investors from industrialized countries can use such CERs to offset their domestic emission reduction goals or sell them to others, which provide an alternative to the high costs of emissions reduction in their own countries.

– 77 –

REGULATIONS

In 1993 and 2002, China ratified and signed the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change and the Kyoto Protocol, respectively, but these did not give rise to responsibilities of a binding nature to achieve emission reduction goals. Among the relevant government authorities in the PRC, the State Climate Change Countermeasure Coordination Group Office is responsible for the formulation of policies and overall coordination, while the State CDM Commission is responsible for the examination and approval of CDM projects implemented in China.

The NDRC and the MOST, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Finance of the PRC jointly promulgated the Measures for Operation and Management of CDM Projects on October 12, 2005. The measures set out the rules and requirements for the examination and approval of CDM projects. The contents include but are not limited to:

  • (a) entities which are permitted to conduct CDM projects in the PRC are restricted to companies that are wholly owned or controlled by a PRC partner. Therefore, a company controlled by foreign investors is prohibited from conducting CDM projects in the PRC;

  • (b) the examination and approval of a CDM project is conducted according to the following procedures: (i) the NDRC appoints experts from a relevant organization to make an evaluation; (ii) the State CDM Project Review Council reviews and approves the CDM project; and (iii) the NDRC, MOST and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs jointly issues a certificate of approval; and

  • (c) with respect to any CDM project approved after October 12, 2005, (i) the PRC Government has the right of recourse for reduction of emissions; (ii) ownership of the credits generated by a CDM project is vested in the owners of the CDM project; and, (iii) the fees imposed by the PRC Government is based on the proceeds generated from the sale of CERs under a CDM project, as against the different rates under the category of the CDM project. With respect to renewable energy, the development and utilization of which are encouraged by government policies (such as wind power projects), the PRC Government will only charge 2.0% of the transfer amount of greenhouse gas emission reductions.

Safe Production and Labor Protection

In accordance with laws and regulations such as The Law of Safe Production of the PRC , which has been implemented since November 1, 2002 and amended on August 27, 2009, and Regulations on Safe Production Licenses , which has been implemented since January 13, 2004, the State Administration of Work Safety performs comprehensive supervision and management of safe production work in the PRC. Organizations engaging in production and operation activities in the PRC must comply with the laws and regulations governing safe production, strengthen safe production management, establish and refine their safe production responsibility system, improve safe production conditions and ensure safe production. According to the Interim Regulations on Investigations into Accidents in Power Production , electric power enterprises must make a report to the SERC upon the occurrence of any major personal accident, power grid accident, equipment accident or fire accident, or power plant dam collapse as well as any power outage accident that has a serious effect on the society.

Environmental Protection

The PRC environmental protection laws and regulations that apply to our wind power equipment production and wind power project construction business include The Environmental Protection Law of the PRC , The Law of the PRC on Prevention and Control of Water Pollution , The Law of the PRC on the Prevention and Control of

– 78 –

REGULATIONS

Atmospheric Pollution , The Law of the PRC on Prevention of Environmental Pollution Caused by Solid Waste and The Law of the PRC on Appraising Environment Impacts .

The Environmental Protection Law of the PRC (the “ Environmental Protection Law ”) was promulgated on December 26, 1989 by the Standing Committee of the NPC and is the most important environmental protection law in the PRC. This law formulated the basic principles of coordinating the development of economic growth, social advancement and environmental protection, and outlines the powers and duties of the various levels of government in the PRC.

Under the Environmental Protection Law, in order to prevent environmental pollution and to protect the ecological environment, the State Ministry of Environmental Protection is authorized to develop nationwide standards for environmental quality and emissions, and is responsible for monitoring the environmental protection system of the PRC. The environmental protection authorities at various levels of the PRC Government (at and above the county level) are responsible for environmental protection work within their own jurisdictions. Local environmental protection authorities have the power to formulate local standards that are more rigorous than national standards, and enterprises must comply with the more rigorous standard as between the state and local environmental protection standards. The Environmental Protection Law provides that any enterprise that may cause pollution or generate other harmful substances in its operations must adopt environmental protection measures in its operations by creating an environmental protection responsibility mechanism and adopting effective measures to control and properly dispose of exhaust gas, wastewater, waste residue, waste dust and other wastes.

In addition, any newly-constructed project, expansion project or renovation project and other equipment installation project that directly or indirectly discharges pollutants into the environment must comply with applicable state environmental protection regulations governing such project. The entity undertaking such project must submit a pollutant discharge declaration to the competent authorities, setting out in details the relevant matters such as the volume and type of discharge, the locations of the discharge and handling methods for examination purposes. The competent authorities may permit an operator which constructs a project to discharge a certain amount of pollutants, but if the pollutant discharge standards provided by the state or local governments are exceeded, a pollutant discharge fee must be paid and a pollutant discharge permit for discharge in the volume set out above must be obtained. In addition, even if the discharge standards have not been exceeded, an operator which discharges any pollutant into a body of water must pay a pollutant discharge fee. Discharge of pollutants is subject to supervision of the competent environmental protection authorities. If an operator fails to pay a pollutant discharge fee in accordance with the relevant provisions, the local environmental protection administrations are authorised to impose a penalty in an amount equivalent to of several times of the pollutant discharge fee, order the operator to cease operations, or adopt other measures for remedy.

To facilitate the thorough implementation and performance of the Renewable Energy Law of the PRC , and to support the development of wind power, standardize and accelerate the development and construction of wind farms and promote sustainable social and economic development in accordance with applicable state laws and regulations, and taking into account the characteristics of the construction of wind farms, the NDRC, the Ministry of Land and Resources and the State Ministry of Environmental Protection have jointly developed the Interim Measures for Management Of Land Used for Wind Power Farm Project Construction and Environmental Protection . These interim measures took effect on August 9, 2005 and provide that the construction of wind energy projects must comply with the PRC environmental impact assessment system. Under this system, the local competent authorities at the provincial level where such construction is located are in charge of environmental protection and are responsible for the review, examination and approval of the environmental impact assessment of wind energy projects. If the wind energy project is constructed on land which involves the natural reserves of the

– 79 –

REGULATIONS

state, local competent authorities in charge of environmental protection must seek the opinion of the Ministry of Environmental Protection before issuing an approval.

Those who violate the Environmental Protection Law and various other environmental protection regulations may be given warnings and ordered to pay damages and fines. Any entity that carries out construction work or production activities prior to examination and approval by the environmental protection authorities of pollution and waste control and treatment facilities may be ordered to cease production or operations, and may be subject to fines. If any major property loss or personal injury or death arises as a result of any violation of such laws, the persons violating environmental protection laws and regulations may be held criminally responsible.

Taxes

Enterprises Income Tax

According to the New EIT Law which took effect on January 1, 2008, PRC enterprises typically pay an enterprise income tax at the rate of 25% and enterprises identified as high-and-new-technology enterprises requiring key state support enjoy a preferential enterprise income tax rate of 15%. Our Company has been identified as a high-and-new-technology enterprise and has obtained the relevant certificate, as such, we are subject to an enterprise income tax rate of 15%. In addition, according to the New EIT Law and the Notice Regarding Implementation of Transitional Favorable Policies for Enterprise Income Tax promulgated by the State Council on December 26, 2007, the preferential tax treatments for enterprises located in western China still apply. Our subsidiaries located in western China shall pay enterprise income tax at the preferential tax rate of 15%.

According to the Notice for Issues Regarding the Withholding of Enterprise Income Tax for Dividends Distributed by Resident Enterprises in China to Non-resident Enterprises Holding H-shares of the Enterprises promulgated by the State Administration of Taxation on November 6, 2008, enterprise income tax shall be withheld at a uniform tax rate of 10% on dividends for 2008 and the subsequent years which are distributed by PRC resident enterprises to foreign H shareholders that are non-resident enterprises, except where the jurisdiction in which the foreign investor is established has a different withholding arrangement under a tax treaty with the PRC.

According to the Notice on Issues on Implementation of the Directory of Favorable Enterprise Income Tax for Public Infrastructure Projects from the Ministry of Finance and the State Administration of Taxation, enterprises that were set up after January 1, 2008, which carry out public infrastructure works are entitled to a three-year enterprise income tax exemption period beginning from the first year in which they generate revenue. Furthermore, they are entitled to a 50% enterprise income tax relief in the next three subsequent years. Thus, a wind power project that receives an approval document from the governmental authorities on January 1, 2008 or thereafter is entitled to foregoing preferential tax policies starting from the first year it generates revenue from the sale of wind power.

Value-Added Tax

In accordance with the Notice Regarding Policy Issues on the Comprehensive Use of Resources and ValueAdded Taxes of Other Products , we enjoy a preferential treatment of a 50% instant rebate on value-added tax levied on our sale of electricity generated by wind energy.

The value-added tax reform was implemented on January 1, 2009. The amended value-added tax regulations and their implementing regulations allow an ordinary payer of value-added tax to offset input value-added tax against output value-added tax for the fixed assets purchased or made by it in accordance with the calculations based on the relevant value-added tax credit receipts.

– 80 –

REGULATIONS

On December 25, 2008, the Ministry of Commerce and the State Administration of Taxation jointly promulgated the Notice on Cessation of Tax Refund Policies for Enterprises with Foreign Investment that Purchase Chinese-Made Equipment . This notice provides that, starting from January 1, 2009, the tax refund policies on value-added tax for foreign-invested enterprises which purchase equipment made in the PRC would be revoked unless such enterprises had purchased such equipment prior to June 30, 2009, or had received special valueadded tax invoices and declared a tax refund with the relevant tax authorities during the previous transaction period, in which case they would still be entitled to a refund of the value-added tax.

Our target markets are the United States, Australia and Europe: the United States is currently the largest wind power market in the world, Australia possesses high growth potential, and Europe is a developed and growing market that allows us to fully leverage our subsidiary, Vensys AG’s existing advantages for market penetration. We believe the growth opportunities in the United States, Australia and Europe are significant, given the public and policy support for renewable energy in those regions. BTM estimates that CAGR of installed capacity of WTGs in the United States, Australia and Europe from 2009 to 2014 will be 23.3%, 22.4% and 16.7%, respectively.

Our initial efforts abroad have included establishment of production facilities, sales offices and service networks in Germany, the United States and Australia for manufacturing and sales of our WTGs and development of wind farm projects. We have successfully completed a wind farm project in the United States, and are actively pursuing other potential projects. We have established a production base at the headquarters of our subsidiary, Vensys AG in Neunkirchen, Germany and began sales of our products in Europe. We have also dispatched management teams to these regions to understand market conditions, and have set up a dedicated team responsible for the long-term development of our international business. We are also actively participating in foreign aid projects organized by the PRC Government. Our international expansion presents opportunities to increase the market for our existing WTG models, and we expect this expansion may involve the establishment or acquisition of further production facilities overseas. With our product, technology and cost advantages, we believe that our overseas expansion can be successfully achieved.

We have also completed the design and production of our 2.5 MWand 3.0 MW WTG prototypes, which have achieved successful grid connection. We are developing our 5.0 MW WTG. We expect to begin commercial production of our 2.5 MWand 3.0 MW WTGs during 2010. Please see the subsection below entitled “— R&D” for details on our 2.5 MW, 3.0 MW and 5.0 MW WTGs.

WTG Design and Development

We have comprehensive wind turbine design and development capabilities and own numerous proprietary technologies and patents, which we have leveraged through our history to develop seven distinct series of WTGs. We believe we are a leading large-scale PRC WTG manufacturer capable of independently developing new and advanced models of WTGs. Our main product technology is the direct-drive permanent magnet full-power rectification technology. Through our extensive research and design experience, we have developed our current series of high-performance wind turbines, and further enhanced their ability to operate in diverse geographic regions of the PRC.

Direct-Drive Permanent Magnet Full-Power Rectification Technology

Direct-drive permanent magnet full-power rectification technology consists of a wind-driven turbine rotor turning a permanent magnet synchronous generator, which does not require a gearbox to operate. The generator produces alternating current which is delivered to the grid via AC-DC-AC conversion by a full-power converter. The key advantages of the direct-drive permanent magnet full-power rectification technology are:

High efficiency Unlike double-fed turbines, direct-drive wind turbines eliminate the gearbox
component, which reduces transmission loss and allows higher generation
levels, especially at low wind velocities. Permanent magnet technology
further improves efficiency.
High reliability Gearboxes have a relatively higher operational failure rate. The direct-drive
technology eliminates the gearbox component and its ancillary parts, and
simplifies the transmission structure, thereby ensuring higher reliability. The
WTG also has considerably fewer moving parts when in operation at low speed,
which increases its reliability.
Superior grid Wind turbines may trip off-line in the event of major grid disturbances, but with
connectivity the low-voltage ride through (LVRT) capability, WTGs adopting the direct-
drive permanent magnet full-power rectification technology are able to stay
connected to the grid during such grid disturbances, and can also easily perform
the functions of active power control and reactive power control, thus better
fulfilling grid requirements.
Low spare parts and Gearless direct-drive technology reduces the number of WTG parts and
consumable materials components and eliminates costs associated with gearbox oil replacement,
requirements which lowers operation and maintenance costs considerably.

Series Design

To keep pace with the rapid growth of the wind power market and to meet the requirements of the relevant market segments, we focus on developing WTGs suited to diverse geographical and climate conditions. Since our inception, we have created and introduced a wide range of WTG models under our customised series, which are adapted for diverse operating conditions including low and high temperatures, high altitude, low wind velocity and coastal areas:

High temperature Designed with improvements to the cooling and radiation capabilities of the
wind turbine’s components and sub-systems. Use of a self-regulating system
enables the cooling system to continue functioning in the event of a wind turbine
system failure without the need for a cooling fan or pump.
Low temperature Designed for sub-zero environments of -20 to -40 degrees Celsius through the
selection of suitable mechanical parts and materials, blade structure, lubrication
system, electric control system, and materials for protecting components.
High altitude Designed for areas with altitudes of over 2,000 meters through improvements in
blade length, cooling and insulation of the electric control system and the motor,
prevention of turbine corrosion and moisture resistance.
Low wind velocity Designed with a larger wind wheel diameter for higher energy capture ability as
well as optimized control strategy and other complementary solutions to ensure
operation at low wind velocity.
Coastal Designed for use in humid, high-salt areas with focus on prevention of salt
corrosion, electrical protection and insulation. Improvements were made to the
structural designs of the wind turbine and relevant parts and components and
special
anti-corrosion
solutions
were
applied
to
the
easily-corrodible
components.

We own several proprietary technologies relating to WTG control strategy and systems. In addition, we have developed a self-adaptive turbine activation and cut-off control strategy which is able to identify the environmental conditions and technical factors in different operating terrains and self-tune the model parameters intelligently to optimize energy capture.

Design and Manufacture of Core Parts and Components

In order to optimize our WTGs, reduce reliance on upstream suppliers, and control costs effectively, we also concentrate on continuous enhancement of our R&D, design and manufacturing capabilities for certain core parts and components of WTGs, including electric control systems and generators, to ensure the quality and stability of the supply of our core parts and components.

Electric Control System

Along with advances in wind power technology and the gradual increase in wind turbine capacity, control technology is becoming a pivotal element for large wind turbines. In view of the complex operating conditions of WTGs, the design performance, reliability and stability of the electric control system are major factors affecting the wind turbine’s efficiency.

– 101 –

BUSINESS

The electric control system in our MW-level WTGs generally comprises a master control system, converter system and variable pitch system, as illustrated in the diagram below. Our 750 kW WTG model operates with a master control system only.

Generator

The generator plays the important role in a WTG of converting mechanical energy into electrical energy. In comparison to a conventional generator, the permanent magnet generator used in our direct-drive WTGs does not require an exciter and the elimination of excitation loss results in a higher efficiency. Further, the high magnetic energy of the rare-earth permanent magnet materials enables a reduction in the weight of the generator.

We own or have applied for multiple patents in magnetic poles arrangements and the cooling and shaft designs of the external generator rotor for the 1.5 MW WTGs. The unique seal design of our generator for the first 1.5 MW offshore WTG in Asia, which was manufactured by us in 2007, has ensured its stable operation since installation. Our next product, the 2.5 MW generator, possesses all the advantages of the existing 1.5 MW directdrive permanent magnet synchronous generator with enhanced features such as higher power density, outstanding sealing performance, high reliability and lower weight to unit capacity ratio, and is able to operate in severe weather conditions.

Production

Production Facilities

In addition to our headquarters and production base in Urumqi, Xinjiang, we operate several other production bases located in Beijing, Inner Mongolia and Gansu provinces in the PRC and an overseas base in Germany through our subsidiaries. As of December 31, 2009, the total gross floor area of our production bases was 101,596.4 square meters. In addition, we have set up integrated assembly plants in Chengde, Hebei province and Yinchuan, Ningxia province through an associate company and consignment manufacturing by a third party to supplement our production capacity.

– 102 –

BUSINESS

The geographic distribution of our production bases is primarily driven by the surrounding target markets, and they are generally located in close proximity to areas with abundant wind resources and concentration of parts and components suppliers. Our production bases currently cover most of the significant PRC wind power markets. We have also established strategic supply-chain relationships so as to directly source critical parts and components from suppliers near our production bases. We believe this further reduces our costs, enhances our production control ability and increases our market competitiveness. The following table sets forth certain basic information relating to each production facility as of December 31, 2009:

Notes:

(1) Our production capacity may differ in accordance with changes in product mix.

(2) Assembly plant established through our associate company.

(3) Assembly plant established through our consignment manufacturing arrangements with a third party local enterprise, Ningxia Tianjing Power Equipment Co., Ltd., for exclusive production and assembling of certain components for our 1.5 MW WTGs. Under the consignment manufacturing contract, which is for a term of one year to be renewed annually, they exclusively produce these components underour direct supervision in accordance with our technical specifications and quality standards.

Our production capacity for our main product, the 1.5 MW WTG was 1,500 units as at the beginning of 2009 and for most of the year ended December 31, 2009. Subsequently in the last quarter of 2009, we realized an annual production capacity of 2,500 units of 1.5 MW WTGs, as part of our strategy to meet the estimated demand for our 1.5 MW WTGs in 2010. In 2009, we produced 1,391 units of 1.5 MW WTGs.

We also had an annual production capacity of 1,500 units of 750 kW WTGs, which was achieved before the 1.5 MW WTG became our main product in 2009. Due to our switch in our product focus and also a decrease in demand for the 750 kW WTG given new models such as our 1.5 MW WTG, we intend to gradually use the spare production capacity of 750kW WTGs for manufacturing certain components for our 1.5 MW WTGs and future WTG products. In 2009, we produced 782 units of 750 kW WTGs.

We expect our annual production capacity to increase to over 3,000 units of MW-level WTGs with sufficient supply capacity of core components for our WTGs by the end of 2010. Of the approximate 40.2% of our net proceeds from the Global Offering to be used for construction of production bases and optimization of our business operations, 20.4% will be allocated to construction of our new production facilities. Among the new construction bases, the Xi’an and Nanjing production bases are designed to manufacture WTGs while the remaining are all designed to manufacture core components of WTGs. The Nanjing production base is intended to manufacture 3.0 MW WTGs mainly for offshore deployment, which is an important strategic step for our Group to enlarge our offshore WTG production capacity since market demand for offshore WTGs is expected to increase significantly. The Joint Sponsors are of the view that the above business plan is in line with our development strategies.

As of December 31, 2009, the total number of our manufacturing employees was 796. These employees undergo regular training and job rotations to ensure a complete understanding of our products and manufacturing processes.

Production Planning

We formulate an overall annual production plan for each year based on factors such as the expected demand for wind turbines, projected delivery of parts and components, the response time of the supply chain, and the projected progress of each wind farm project to ensure the timely performance of supply contracts and contractual delivery schedule of our wind turbine products. This production plan is subject to rolling adjustments in accordance with the actual conditions of supply and demand of wind turbines and parts and components, and construction progress of our customers’ wind farm projects.

BUSINESS

Our WTGs are transported from our production facilities to customers’ sites for product delivery, following which installation of the WTGs will be arranged by our customers while we provide technical guidance.

Sales and Marketing

Overview

Our WTGs are sold through direct sales to a relatively specific and concentrated customer base. Our PRC customers are primarily large- and medium-sized power producers and renewable energy investors. We have established a marketing department and a sales department with a sales force of 77 employees, many of whom have technical backgrounds and extensive industry experience.

The sales department is directly responsible for sales and customer management and maintenance. Based on the nature of our customers’ business and their operating markets, we carry out large customer management and geographical customer management. Our major customers include the five major power producers in the PRC and other enterprises investing in renewable energy. Each major customer has a specially-appointed service team who manages sales orders and provides long-term direct-sales services across all geographical regions.

Our marketing department consists of three units, namely, business development, market analysis and research and technical support. These units are mainly responsible for researching PRC domestic and overseas industry policies, market development and competition. They also formulate our sales and marketing strategies, coordinate bidding work, provide technical sales support and plan marketing activities, which include promotional events in relation to our products and services, publicity efforts, initiating contact with potential customers and strengthening relationships with existing customers and clients.

Our Sales Model

We obtain orders through tender bids, which comprise concession projects and non-concession projects. Concession projects are those for which the PRC Government organizes the bidding to select the wind farm developer and the WTG manufacturer, whereas bidding for non-concession projects are organized by wind farm developers. Otherwise, non-concession projects and concession projects generally do not differ in terms of pricing, credit policy, product warranty, payment schedule and other relevant contractual obligations. Our basic selection criteria for projects to bid on includes (1) the suitability of our WTGs to the environmental and climatic characteristics of the project area; (2) our ability to meet the requirements specified in the clauses of the bidding documents such as the construction period, terms of payment, warranty and penalties; (3) the financial condition and credit worthiness of the tenderer; and (4) the extent to which the tenderer recognizes and accepts us and our products. As our business has grown, we have encouraged our marketing department to focus their efforts on bids for larger orders. For each year of the Track Record Period, our sales revenue from concession projects and non-concession projects accounted for 17.0%, 20.2% and 27.5%, and 83.0%, 79.8% and 72.5% of our WTG sales revenue, respectively. We estimate that as of March 31, 2010, we had orders on hand for our WTGs totalling 3,349.5 MW.

Pricing Policy

Our pricing policy for each bid or sales contract is primarily competition driven, with primary consideration given to production costs and project return.

– 106 –

BUSINESS

Credit Policy

Our credit policy towards customers varies for each of our business segments, but for our core business of sales of WTGs, we generally grant contractual credit terms of around three months.

Our WTG contractual payment schedule is generally as follows:

k Prepayment: 10% to 15% of contract price

k Progress payment: 20% to 40% of contract price

k Delivery of products: 35% to 60% of contract price

k Preliminary inspection: 10% of contract price

Product Warranty

We provide comprehensive product warranties for our WTGs, and all sales contracts contain appropriate warranty clauses. After preliminary inspection, we will normally provide a letter of guarantee issued by a bank amounting to up to 5% of the total contract price to our customer against fulfilment of our warranty obligation, who may request payment from the bank in the event our obligation is not met. Historically, retention monies were retained by our customers to secure our performance of obligations during the warranty period, however, we have gradually changed our policy to provide our customers letters of guarantee. The warranty period of our products is generally 24 months from the day on which the preliminary inspection certificate is issued, and in a few instances, the warranty period may be 30 to 60 months. Generally, main product warranty clauses in our contracts include: guarantee of the WTG’s stable operation in line with the contractual technical specifications and warranty guidelines stated therein, the actual measured power curve should be equal to or exceed 95% of the specified power curve, and the average availability of the WTGs shall not be less than 95%. During the warranty period, we are accountable for any problems associated with wind turbine defects, operation problems or below-standard performance. If our WTGs do not satisfy the specific performance standards as set out in the contract during the warranty period, customers may also claim against us for a penalty sum in accordance with the relevant contractual provisions.

During the Track Record Period, there was an increase in the amount of our product quality warranty provisions, mainly due to the significant increase in our product sales and the change in our product mix sold. Our main product sold was the 750kW WTG in 2007 and the 1.5MW WTG in 2009, respectively. Due to complicated structure and more expensive raw materials and components of the 1.5MW WTG, the estimated expenses related to the maintenance and repair of the 1.5MW WTG are higher than those of the 750kW WTG. In addition, we made a more sufficient provision in 2009 for the total expenses related to the warranty maintenance and repairs of the 1.5MW WTGs sold, based on the actual maintenance and repair expenses incurred for the 1.5MW WTGs sold in the previous two years, and made further product quality warranty provisions for 1.5MW WTGs sold in previous years.

As of March 31, 2010, our total amount of warranty provision outstanding was RMB490.8 million. For the three years ended December 31, 2007, 2008 and 2009, our amount of provision utilized was RMB7.9 million, RMB34.0 million and RMB153.4 million, respectively. Our Directors are of the view that we have made adequate provisions for product quality warranties.

Geographical Distribution

We divide our sales network into four main regions: (i) Inner Mongolia, (ii) Northeast China, (iii) North China, and (iv) Northwest and South China. The PRC’s development of wind resources is currently concentrated in the northern and coastal regions, and the grid infrastructure and connection issues experienced in the northern

– 107 –

BUSINESS

region have impacted the market to some extent. Although the northern region continues to be a focus area for us, we are also keen to explore markets in the southern region as its existing grid system is relatively sound and has greater wind power development potential. Our wind turbine products are highly competitive in quality and performance, and our advanced capabilities in leading proprietary technologies serve as strong support for our market expansion. We also plan to increase efforts to develop our sales network in inland areas, including Shandong, Jiangsu and Shanxi provinces.

Overseas Business

Although our overseas operations are newly established and at a relatively early development stage, based on our current strategy, our international target markets are primarily the United States, Australia and Europe. Our German subsidiary, Vensys AG has launched its 1.5 MW WTGs in the European market and is our primary sales channel for Europe. We have set up branches in the United States and Australia to recruit international talent for our overseas business development, and have organized experienced sales teams to travel to the United States and Australia to conduct marketing activities and meet with wind power developers for discussion on collaboration opportunities. We have carefully studied the obstacles likely to be faced when entering a foreign wind power market, in particular, the lack of a track record in the market, and we have decided to invest in demonstration wind farm projects in our target markets as part of our sales strategy to display our capabilities, introduce our products and start building a track record in those markets. Also, in certain markets, WTG manufacturers may be required to provide specific product warranties in order for the relevant wind farm developers to receive financing for their wind farm development projects. After careful consideration and where we believe necessary, we plan to offer warranties in line with the requirements of financing providers in overseas markets, in order to develop our business successfully in these markets. Our international sales, which mainly comprised WTG and related component sales, commenced in 2008 and our grid-connected demonstration wind farm project in Minnesota, USA has commenced power generation and is managed by our U.S. subsidiary, TianRun USA. We are also actively participating in the PRC Government’s foreign aid projects and have won a bid for a project in Ethiopia. Through such participation, we have been able to accumulate valuable overseas market experience beneficial to our international expansion plans.

After-sales services

We firmly believe that providing customers with the most comprehensive and timely after-sales services is the key to remaining competitive. We have in place a stringent after-sales service system with high standards to ensure the quality of our services. Our customers generally enjoy warranty service periods of 24 months from the date on which the preliminary inspection certificate is issued, and in a few instances, the warranty periods may be 30 to 60 months. We have also set up 12 service centers, forming a nationwide service and spare-part supply network, to assure our customers of minimum wind turbine downtime due to inadequate supply of spare parts and better serve their needs. Our service personnel are able to reach the customer’s wind farm within 12 hours and perform any required spare part replacement within 24 hours.

During the warranty service period, we will appoint professional after-sales technical support personnel as stipulated in our contracts to provide after-sales services for our customers. Our aim is to offer our customers comprehensive service through the integration of our service, logistics and technical support units to ensure the availability of our WTGs.

In addition, we also recommend the implementation of the SCADA system for our customers to enable remote monitoring and control of the operation of their WTGs. The management of our spare parts supply is separate from our wind turbine maintenance, and our maintenance staff is required to provide a detailed description

– 108 –

BUSINESS

of the technical default and the relevant solution when requesting a particular spare part. We believe that through the SCADA system and audit, management and analysis of our spare parts utilization, we are better able to ascertain the maintenance and operational status of our WTGs, which enables us to provide our customers with better-tailored services and continuously improve our products.

We intend to develop our after-sales services in line with the growth of our WTG R&D, manufacturing and sales business segment, and fund any development with working capital used for developing this business segment.

WIND POWER SERVICES

We provide a comprehensive portfolio of wind power services for customers through our subsidiary, Beijing Tianyuan, a professional wind power services company in the PRC. Our background in R&D and manufacturing as well as our experience in wind farm operation provides a distinct advantage to our service offerings. We localize our services, which enables us to increase technical content and better ensure fast response to customers’ needs. We offer a complete range of services from preliminary investment consultancy and pre-construction project services, project construction services to post-construction operation and maintenance services.

We generate revenue primarily from services such as EPC contracting, logistics and maintenance. Revenue is recognized from the rendering of wind power services, when the agreed services are performed, provided over the term of the agreement. For EPC contracting services, we record revenue from the construction contracts, on the percentage of completion basis. Our costs of sales in respect of this business segment consist mainly of labor, including wages and salaries for our workers directly involved in the wind power services provided. During the Track Record Period, our revenues from this business segment were RMB9.8 million, RMB29.5 million and RMB215.4 million, respectively, representing a CAGR of 368.0% for the same period. Please see the section entitled “Financial Information” in this prospectus for more details.

BUSINESS

Preliminary Investment Consultancy and Pre-Construction Project Services

Preliminary wind power investment consultancy services include policy research, industry analysis, investment consulting, project financing and CDM consulting. The majority of such work involves preparing relevant reports and communicating with our customers on our report results. Preliminary project services include feasibility studies, wind farm design, macro/micro site selection, wind measurement, wind resources assessment, and turbine model selection. Besides such paid consultancy work, we also provide customers complimentary general project investment advice, as it serves as an effective method to educate customers on wind power and develop the wind power market. Although preliminary services do not constitute a major source of profits from this business segment, they are able to create a large prospective market for sales of our WTGs and need for after-sales services which will form a continuous source of income for us. Moreover, the provision of such comprehensive preliminary services supports our efforts to expand overseas operations.

Project Construction Services

Although historically we have not provided installation services for our customers, we do provide project construction services such as basic structure design, tower construction supervision, engineering supervision, installation guidance, ramp-up and operation, and logistics. Furthermore, we have obtained the EPC contract qualification and are able to set up dedicated teams to undertake the construction of entire turnkey projects from equipment purchase, construction, installation and ramp-up to grid connection and power generation, thus providing customers with contracting services throughout the project construction period.

To better serve our customers and lower our logistics costs, we established our wholly owned subsidiary, XJ Tianyun, in 2008 to provide transportation services for our WTGs. As our projects are spread across China, we contract with regional and local third-party logistics contractors for transportation vehicle fleets, an arrangement which allows us to fully utilize their expertise in certain routes and effectively lower our costs. We primarily use road transport, with railway and air transport as alternatives. During the transportation process, we take comprehensive protection measures including reinforcing the security of the transporting vehicle, assigning escort vehicles, and providing extensive staff training on safety measures.

Post-Construction Operation and Maintenance Services

Post-construction services mainly include operation and maintenance of wind farms, equipment servicing, spare parts support, training consultancy, project assessment and service software applications. We provide wind farm owners with operation and maintenance services and assign dedicated teams to customers’ sites to assist with the operation and maintenance work. We have established a wide service network that can offer customers fast and timely support, and provide maintenance and replacement of parts and components services for our products after the expiry of the warranty period. In addition, we conduct assessment of completed projects, provide staff training for wind farm owners, and provide technical consultancy services.

In addition, we recommend customized SCADA remote monitoring systems to our customers so that they are able to remotely monitor and control their wind farm operations. The SCADA system we implement assists customers with unified monitoring and control over their WTGs and wind farms. The continuous data collection of all product failure issues through the SCADA system provides timely technical support analysis and guidance to onsite maintenance crews. Through analyzing the historical operational data collected through the SCADA system, technicians are able to issue early warnings on malfunctions and prevent problems before they occur. We believe this greatly reduces maintenance costs and the workload of on-site staff, and further minimizes the costs for our customers. As of March 31, 2010 our SCADA system covered 35 wind farms, with an accumulated installed capacity of 2,145.5 MW.

BUSINESS

Sales and Marketing

Our services are provided via direct sales to our customers, including wind farm developers and operators as well as companies investing in wind power. We have a sales and marketing team comprising personnel with industry experience who are knowledgeable about wind farm projects. Our sales team also actively develops relationships with new customers through gradual introduction of our wind power services. We will typically provide general project investment advice to understand a client’s requirements and concerns, and then tailor our services offering to their needs.

WIND FARM INVESTMENT, DEVELOPMENT AND SALES

We are able to provide wind farm operators and investors with completed wind farms that we have invested in and developed, and equipped with our WTGs. Leveraging our competitive strengths in R&D, WTG manufacturing and provision of comprehensive wind power services, we believe that we offer our customers maximum value for their wind farm investment. This business segment effectively creates for us a new source of profit with strong growth potential and also contributes to the sales of our WTGs and wind power services, thereby enhancing our overall market position.

We develop and selectively sell our completed wind farms when appropriate in view of the then prevailing market conditions, and we put them into operation prior to sale, which generates revenue from power generation. We do not intend to hold our completed wind farms as long-term investment. Our wind farms in operation are managed by the specialized and experienced service personnel of our subsidiary, Beijing Tianyuan.

We generate income from sale of equity interests in the project companies we set up to develop the wind farms, and income from such sale is recorded under other income and gains. During the Track Record Period, income from sale of completed wind farms was nil, RMB263.1 million and RMB189.8 million, respectively. We generate revenue from the tariffs received from the power generated by these wind farms prior to sale, which is determined based on the volume of electric power transmitted and the applicable fixed tariff rates. Our costs of sales in respect of this business segment consist mainly of depreciation costs and operational costs. During the Track Record Period, our revenue for this business segment was nil, RMB88.5 million and RMB103.7 million, respectively. Please see the section entitled “Financial Information” in this prospectus for more details.

Wind Farm Project Investment and Development

We adopt a flexible model for our investment in and development of wind farms, which is divided into independent development and joint development. For independent development, we will set up project companies in which we hold the entire equity interest and are responsible for the full development process from wind measurement, filing of project application to authorities, project construction, operation of the wind farm and sale to interested investors. For joint development, we cooperate with selected partners through jointly-owned project companies on the development process. As of March 31, 2010, the wind farms completed and sold by us had an approximate total installed capacity of 198.0 MW and attributable installed capacity of 125.2 MW, wind farms completed and put into operation had an approximate total installed capacity of 103.5 MWand attributable installed capacity of 102.3 MW, and wind farms under construction had an approximate total installed capacity of 327.0 MW and attributable installed capacity of 244.0 MW.

The estimated investment costs for a typical wind farm project with an installed capacity of 49.5 MWamount to approximately RMB450.0 million comprising, among others, approximately 70% for WTG-related costs, approximately 15% for grid connection-related infrastructure, approximately 12% for construction and

BUSINESS

approximately 3% for other expenses. Generally speaking, approximately 80% of our capital expenditures in respect of our wind farm projects is financed by the relevant project companies through bank borrowings and the remaining approximate 20% through equity investments from us and other shareholders, if any, of the relevant project companies. Further, the financial impact of the capital expenditures related to our wind farm projects are the same as capital expenditures related to our other business segments, which is dependent on our ability to maintain adequate cash inflows to meet our committed capital expenditures and the related debt obligations. We also incur interest expenses for the capital expenditures funded by bank borrowings with interest rates usually at a 10% discount to the benchmark interest rates in China. Please see the section entitled “Financial Information” in this prospectus for more details.

Note:

(1) As of April 30, 2010, we have added one more wind farm “Xingqiyuan Zhurihe Wind Farm Phase I” to our projects under construction. The wind farm is located in Inner Mongolia, and has an installed capacity of 49.5 MW. We hold a 56% equity interest in this wind farm, for which we commenced construction in April 2010 and expect to complete in October 2010.

We estimated our total capital expenditure for our seven projects under construction in the above table amounted to approximately RMB2,605 million, including capital expenditure to be incurred for completion of these projects of approximately RMB839 million as of March 31, 2010. We expect to finance such capital expenditure partially with internal funding and the remaining balance through bank borrowings.

Wind Farm Sales

Due to the professional expertise required for the development of a wind farm, long development cycle and the risk of unsuccessful development, many large PRC power producers and wind farm investors prefer to directly acquire completed wind farms from vendors such as us. We generally do not engage in sales and marketing activities for our completed wind farms projects as well as projects under construction. In view of the general scarcity of completed wind farms and due to our market reputation, potential buyers usually approach us for negotiations and we evaluate the terms of their offers carefully. For our remaining completed projects and our projects under construction, we have already engaged in negotiations with potential buyers. Moreover, in light of the overall high demand for wind farms, we have entered into various legally binding agreements with different power companies or investors who have committed to acquiring most of our wind farm projects. Given the foregoing, we believe there is no risk that these projects cannot be sold.

When considering the sale of our completed wind farms, in addition to evaluation of the potential buyers and the terms of their offers, we will take into consideration various factors including the operational condition and performance of the completed projects, our development strategies, and whether it is in our commercial interest to sell the relevant completed project. Our wind farms can be sold by way of either full or partial share transfers of the

– 114 –

BUSINESS

equity interest of the project companies. Large domestic power producers are our major target customers for full equity transfers as they generally do not accept non-controlling shareholdings of wind farms. For partial equity transfers, only a portion of the shares of the wind farm project company is transferred, and we retain the remaining equity interest.

CUSTOMERS

The majority of our sales are derived from the PRC domestic market and our customers are primarily large power producers and other enterprises investing in renewable energy. With an excellent product line-up and competitive advantage in services, we have established and maintained stable long-term relationships with our customers. Further, we have also provided certain customers with training, preliminary technical support and other services.

The table below contains data regarding our five largest customers for the year ended December 31, 2009:

As of December 31, 2009, none of the Directors, Supervisors, or their respective associates, or any Shareholders of our Company who, to the best of the Directors’ knowledge, owns 5% or more of our Company’s issued shares, has any interest in any of our five largest customers.

Our relationships with our customers continue to be strong in 2010, and we have received and expect to continue to receive significant orders from our large customers, including affiliated companies of our five largest customers.

SUPPLIERS

We enjoy long-term relationships with our suppliers, including those in which we have invested. Due to the lack of suppliers in the PRC that can meet our technical specifications, we have dedicated significant resources to develop reliable suppliers such as providing training and labor resources to some of our suppliers. Our teams work closely with these suppliers to ensure that the quality and technical specifications of their parts and components meet our standards. We may also invest in some suppliers experiencing a sudden shortage of resources, or those that are in need of capital funding for long term growth, so as to ensure the stability and quality of our supply chain as well as better control our costs. As of December 31, 2009, we provided financial resources to several companies, including:

  • k constructing a production facility, which is leased to LM Glasfiber (Xinjiang) Co., Ltd. to exclusively produce blades for our WTGs that we purchase at market price. The relevant construction costs were recorded under investment properties; and

  • k making equity investments of RMB7.0 million, RMB34.0 million, RMB17.5 million, RMB1.0 million and RMB1.0 million in China Water Xi’an[(1)] , Jiangxi Jinli Mag Rare-Earth Co., Ltd.[(2)] , Jiangsu Chenfeng New Material Technology Co., Ltd.[(2)] , China Water Baotou[(1)] and Jiuquan Xinmao Technology Wind Power Equipment Co., Ltd.[(3)] , respectively. We currently hold a 4.67%, 34%, 35%, 5% and 5% equity interest in each of these five companies, respectively. All of these five companies are principally engaged in the production and sale of components and raw materials for wind power equipment.

During the Track Record Period, the aggregate amount of purchases by us from the abovementioned suppliers was RMB37.4 million, RMB485.2 million and RMB873.0 million, respectively. We did not enjoy any preferential terms from these suppliers and do not have a formal investment policy in respect of such investments.

We collaborate with external suppliers to manufacture most of our parts and components. These parts and components are manufactured based on our designs, drawings, technical parameters and quality standards. Our parts and components supply contracts generally include exclusivity clauses prohibiting sales of the same parts and components to our competitors. Please see the section entitled “Risk Factors — Risks Relating to Our Business — We may not be able to obtain timely and stable supply of the core parts and components required for our business” in this prospectus. The pool of suppliers for our requisite main parts and components is relatively concentrated. To further ensure a stable supply, we are actively enhancing our abilities to develop and manufacture certain core parts and components for our WTGs.

We have signed short-term supply contracts of one to two years with our five largest suppliers. The main contractual clauses cover products supplied, contract price, payment terms, intellectual property rights, dispute settlement and termination. Payment is made in phases. For each year of the Track Record Period, purchases from our five largest suppliers accounted for 47.6%, 39.4% and 25.8%, respectively, of our total purchases, while purchases from our largest supplier accounted for 23.7%, 13.1% and 6.6%, respectively, of our total purchases.

As of December 31, 2009, none of the Directors, Supervisors, or their respective associates, or any Shareholders of our Company, who, to the best of the Directors’ knowledge, owns 5% or more of our issued shares, has any interest in any of our five largest suppliers.

PARTS AND COMPONENTS

The core parts and components we source include blades, generators, electric control systems and structural parts. Externally purchased parts and components account for the majority of our operating costs. We also manufacture in-house certain of these core parts and components, of which some of the processing materials used to manufacture them are produced by external suppliers through consignment manufacturing arrangements. These consigned processing materials consist mainly of parts for generators and converters.

Most of our parts and components are purchased from PRC domestic suppliers, and each part or component is sourced from at least three to five designated suppliers. As the purchase of parts and components represents a key element in our quality and cost control, we have established an internal management system for overall management of the sourcing procedures, including requests for purchasing materials, quotation, delivery

receipt, inspection, payment, supplier assessment and order maintenance. The primary purpose of this system is to control costs while ensuring high product quality.

Inventory

We have developed an inventory management policy and set inventory targets according to market conditions. We have also specified the control processes and supervisory procedures for all the stages in transportation and storage of parts and components. Our inventory mainly comprises bearings, cast structure parts, generator stators and generator rotor structure parts, and our inventory policy is based on our production plans and spare parts demand arising from project maintenance. It is not necessary for us to hold completed WTGs in inventory, as large wind power equipment is characteristically made-to-order. We do maintain an inventory of certain spare parts in anticipation of our customers’ needs during the warranty period and also to accommodate the 20-year lifespan of our WTGs. Inventory of other parts and components including those used in the production process will be maintained in accordance with monthly production plans.

QUALITY ASSURANCE

We have always focused on quality as a core competitive strength, and been committed to producing technologically-advanced and operationally stable WTGs of high quality.

We have established and refined six main quality assurance systems as shown in the diagram below. These systems cover every aspect of our business from signing of the sales contract, product development and design, setting of product quality standards, supplier management and review, assembly, transportation and packaging of WTGs, installation and ramp-up during the wind farm project construction process, and after-sales operation and maintenance services:

R&D

Overview

Our R&D activities have a history of more than ten years, and we have strong independent R&D capabilities. We have developed numerous series of WTG models which are adapted to the diverse operating conditions in the PRC. Our highly-regarded R&D team possesses considerable wind power industry experience and we have established a superior technology development platform. Most Chinese WTG manufacturers generally acquire wind turbine technologies through licensing, however, we independently developed our MW-level WTGs. Since our establishment, we have been committed to the development of new products, the upgrading of existing technologies, the meeting of changing market requirements, and the introduction of advanced international technologies into China. With our wealth of wind power industry experience, a deep understanding of the environmental and wind resource conditions in China, and through our continuous innovation and improvement of advanced technologies, we have accomplished significant achievements in WTG R&D. As a result, we believe our products and technologies have been able to maintain a leading position in the PRC wind power industry.

Our main innovations are in the areas of the design of our WTGs, electric control systems, core mechanical parts and components as well as the design and manufacture of permanent magnet generators, converters and our performance testing and inspection capabilities.

Please see the section entitled “Financial Information — Critical Accounting Policies — R&D costs” in this prospectus for our R&D expenditures during the Track Record Period.

Structure of Our R&D Organization

We have established R&D centers in Beijing and Urumqi, PRC and in Neunkirchen, Germany, each staffed with specialized teams to carry out studies on specific technical topics. In 2004, we were approved by MOST to set up China’s first national wind power engineering technology R&D center, which was subsequently officially recognized in 2008.

As of December 31, 2009, our R&D team consists of more than 200 personnel, including 90 with more than five years of wind power experience, more than 190 with at least three years of wind power experience, eleven employees with PhDs and more than 90 with master’s degrees. Our R&D system consists of nine departments, being Technology R&D, General Technology, Mechanical Design, Process Technology, Motor Technology, Testing Technology, Product Development, Pilot Development and Technical Support.

We have set up a full-power performance testing laboratory at our Beijing production base as well as a complete WTG testing laboratory in Urumqi to facilitate product R&D, inspect and test our WTGs and their parts and components. Ground simulation of our WTGs and various tests on the control safety, electromagnetic compatibility, load control, permanent magnet generators and electric control systems as well as overall performance of our WTGs are carried out by these two testing laboratories.

– 118 –

BUSINESS

Through our R&D centers, we have developed a complete system from design, research, development and testing to the commencement of production and succeeded in building an integrated international/domestic R&D network.

Our R&D Mechanism

We have set up effective R&D operations so that we can mobilize our various resources in connection with any R&D project. Our R&D work is subject to project-based management, which consists of three stages: project establishment, mid-term review and final acceptance. To ensure successful implementation of the project and motivate team members from different departments, our project management policy provides for performancebased evaluations of team members.

Moreover, we have established reward measures for on-the-job inventions and other technological advancements. Our R&D efforts are guided by a technical decision-making committee, which has established working rules for project selection and management. We believe these effectively create and promote a culture of innovation within our Group.

Product Technology R&D

Our development of product technologies has undergone three stages — from technology importation to joint development to independent development. We have continually emphasized enhancing independent R&D capabilities. We have also built a R&D system based on close collaboration with domestic and overseas scientific research institutions, design companies and parts and components suppliers.

Our 600 kWand 750 kW stall-regulated WTG models were developed on the basis of technologies originally licensed from several suppliers in Germany and industrialized through adaptation of such technologies, further development, integration and innovation. There was no infringement of others’ intellectual property rights arising from or related to such licenses. Since 2002, we have built a long-term strategic partnership with the German design and engineering company, Vensys AG, to collaborate in the development of the 1.2 MWand 1.5 MW WTG models.

Since 2007, we have shifted to independent development of our products. This shift resulted primarily in the development of key technologies comprising of our 1.5 MW direct-drive permanent magnet WTGs, development and design of the 2.5 MW direct-drive permanent magnet WTG model, and the 3.0 MWand 5.0 MW WTG models. In addition, we conducted an extensive study of key components such as the electric control system. In order to fully exploit the wind power technology research talent in Germany, in 2008 we acquired our German cooperative partner, Vensys AG, which enhanced our R&D capabilities and enabled our direct-drive technology products to enter the international market. As of the Latest Practicable Date, we have completed trial production of the 2.5 MW and 3.0 MW wind turbine prototypes and the overall design of the 5.0 MW WTG model. We expect to commence commercial production of our 2.5MW and 3.0MW WTGs in 2010 while production of our 5.0MW WTG will depend on market conditions. We have also set up a project team focusing on the study of key technologies of offshore WTGs.

Over the years, we have engaged in extensive cooperation with renowned international entities such as the UK design firm, Garrad Hassan, and the Netherlands-based design company, Mecal. Through continuous importation, assimilation and innovation of wind turbine technologies over the years, we have achieved significant R&D milestones. Apart from the primary innovations mentioned above, we have upgraded our main product from the initial 600 kW stall-regulated WTG model to the current 1.5 MW direct-drive permanent magnet WTG model.

We have 2,408 employees (including contract labor staff) in the PRC and 119 overseas employees. For each year during the Track Record Period, our labor costs were approximately RMB121.8 million, RMB182.9 million and RMB254.4 million, respectively.

We provide management personnel and employees with on-the-job education, training and other opportunities to improve their skills and knowledge. We sign individual employment agreements with our employees, covering, among other things, salaries, benefits, training, workplace safety and hygiene, confidentiality obligations relating to trade secrets and grounds for termination. The remuneration package of our employees includes salary, bonuses and allowances. Our employees also receive welfare benefits including medical care, housing subsidies, retirement and other miscellaneous benefits. To increase our competitiveness, attract and retain top talent, and better maximize value to our Shareholders, we intend to introduce and implement share incentive schemes as appropriate after the Listing, subject to approval by the relevant regulatory authorities and compliance with the Articles of Association and the Listing Rules.

Our employees (excluding contract labor staff) are members of a trade union affiliated with the All China Federation of Trade Unions. As of the Latest Practicable Date, we have not experienced any major labor dispute or other labor disturbances that have interfered with our operations, and our employee relations are favorable.

WELFARE CONTRIBUTIONS

We must comply with PRC laws and regulations relating to social welfare, including the Interim Regulations Governing the Receiving and Payment of Social Security issued by the State Council, which establishes the basic measures for receiving pension payments, medical insurance payments and unemployment insurance payments. Also to be complied with are the Regulations Governing the Public Housing Reserves issued by the State Council, which sets out the regulations related to the public housing reserves contributed by employers and employees, and other laws and regulations related to social insurance such as work injury insurance and maternity insurance.

In accordance with applicable Chinese regulations, we currently participate in social insurance contribution plans organized by the relevant local governments, under which we are required to pay in respect of each of our relevant employees a monthly contribution. The amount of contribution may vary depending on a number of factors, including the requirements of the relevant local government and the income of the employee. We currently provide employees with a pension insurance program, medical insurance program, unemployment insurance program, individual work injury program, maternity insurance contributions and employee public housing reserve

BUSINESS

contributions. During the Track Record Period, the total amount of our contribution was approximately RMB11.8 million, RMB27.0 million, and RMB40.7 million, respectively.

We believe we have complied with all applicable national, local and foreign laws and regulations relating to social welfare and have paid in full the social security premiums and contributions payable as required by relevant laws and regulations and we have never been penalized for a violation of these laws.

SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION

Safety and Labor Protection

We have taken measures to ensure compliance with applicable national, local and foreign laws and regulations concerning workspace safety. We have full-time safety management personnel responsible for supervising workplace safety and occupational health, hygiene and safety, as well as performing internal safety checks during the production process to minimize accidents, injuries and occupational diseases. We obtained the GBT 28001-2001 certification in December 2009. Our PRC legal advisor has confirmed that we have satisfied all requirements established by relevant laws and regulations and have obtained all licenses necessary to perform work in our production bases during the Track Record Period.

In order to further strengthen workplace safety compliance policies, we plan to develop operational rules for employees, and dedicate more training resources to prevent implementation of policies and practices in violation of relevant laws and regulations, and to prevent employees from committing violations of our workplace safety policies and procedures. As of the Latest Practicable Date, we have not experienced any major workplace or industrial accidents.

Environmental Protection

Our operations are currently subject to environmental laws and regulations relating to construction and operation of renewable energy generation facilities, noise control, air and water emissions, water and ground protection, hazardous substances and waste management. Please see the subsection entitled “Regulations — Environmental Protection” in this prospectus for more details. During the Track Record Period, our annual cost of compliance with the applicable environmental rules and regulations was approximately RMB0.4 million, RMB1.5 million and RMB1.0 million, respectively. Our expected cost of compliance for 2010 is approximately RMB5.3 million.

As the industry in which we operate is not a major source of environmental pollution, we believe that the impact of our operations on the environment is minor and we have taken all necessary internal environmental protection measures. Our PRC legal advisor has confirmed that we were in full compliance with relevant environmental protection rules and regulations, not subject to any fines or administrative actions involving non-compliance with any relevant regulations, and did not experience any environmental pollution accident during the Track Record Period. We have adopted advanced technologies and equipment to prevent and minimize pollution and we have not experienced any major accident causing environmental pollution.

We will also maintain strict compliance with applicable local laws and regulations concerning health, safety and the environment in respect of our overseas operations. Before deciding to carry out business in foreign jurisdictions, we will take into account our ability to comply with local laws. Our health, safety and environment — related departments will conduct regular inspection and monitor compliance by our subsidiaries with related local health, safety and environmental laws and regulations of those foreign jurisdictions in which our overseas

BUSINESS

operations are located. Where necessary, we will appoint local legal advisors to provide advice concerning relevant regulations. We obtained the ISO14001:2004 certification in December 2009.

INSURANCE

We have purchased insurance coverage for our products, certain properties, machinery and equipment, automobiles and other assets owned, operated or deemed important by us. For instance, we have purchased product quality insurance and equipment insurance coverage for our WTGs. The scope of product quality insurance covers equipment damage due to defects, and the scope of equipment damage insurance covers damage caused by centrifugal force, short-circuits, over-voltage and other physical reasons.

In accordance with industry practices in China, our own experience in operating our business, and the recommendations of insurance companies, the Directors believe that we have purchased sufficient insurance coverage. We have not purchased any third party liability insurance coverage for claims relating to personal injury, assets or environmental damage arising from our operations, nor have we purchased any insurance for interruptions of our business or environmental liability, which, in our opinion, is consistent with customary practices. During the Track Record Period, we have not experienced any major operational problems, such as equipment failure, or failure to meet standards, improper equipment operation and industrial accidents, nor any business interruptions as a result of fire, power shortages, software or hardware malfunctions, flood, computer virus or other events beyond our control. Please see the sections entitled “Risk Factors — Risks relating to our business — We are subject to the risk of product liability claims and in some cases may not have sufficient insurance coverage” and “Risk Factors — Risks relating to our business — Substantial damage to persons or loss of property may occur in the course of our production and construction processes”, respectively.

PROPERTIES

Owned Properties in the PRC

As at March 31, 2010, we owned, held or occupied 98 parcels of land with an aggregate site area of approximately 1,292,523.0 square meters, 119 buildings or units with an aggregate gross floor area of approximately 108,114.3 square meters in the PRC, as well as six buildings or units under construction with an aggregate gross floor area of approximately 33,124.3 square meters. The independent valuer had valued the abovementioned properties as at March 31, 2010. The text of the letter and the valuation report issued by the independent valuer are set out in the appendix entitled “Appendix V — Property Valuation” to this prospectus.

Land use rights (excluding land for property under construction)

As at March 31, 2010, we obtained land use right certificates for 88 parcels of land with an aggregate site area of approximately 756,259.8 square meters. We also signed the state-owned land use right grant contracts for one parcel of land with a site area of 53,033.9 square meters. We have applied for and are in the process of obtaining the land use right certificate for this parcel of land. However, the timing for obtaining the certificate is beyond our control. This parcel of land would be used for construction of staff dormitories and not crucial to our business operations. Our PRC legal advisor has confirmed that there is no material legal impediment to our obtaining the relevant land use right certificate, and that we are not in breach of any relevant laws and regulations for the absence of the land use right certificate. However, prior to our obtaining the land use right certificate, our rights in respect of this parcel of land are not fully protected under PRC laws.

BUSINESS

Land for property under construction

As at March 31, 2010, we had nine parcels of land with an aggregate site area of approximately 483,229.3 square meters used as project construction sites. Among these nine parcels of land, we had obtained land use right certificates for five parcels of land with an aggregate site area of approximately 318,833.3 square meters, and we signed the state-owned land use right grant contracts for two parcels of land with an aggregate site area of 45,874.0 square meters. These two parcels of land constitute:

  • k one parcel of land with a site area of 22,871.0 square meters to be used for development of our future wind farm project, Damao Guochan Demonstration Wind Farm Phase II, located in Inner Mongolia under our wind farm investment, development and sales business segment.

  • k one parcel of land with a site area of 23,003.0 square meters to be used for development of our future wind farm project, Tacheng Mayitasi Wind Farm Phase II, located in Xinjiang under our wind farm investment, development and sales business segment.

Our PRC legal advisor has confirmed that there is no material legal impediment to our obtaining the relevant land use right certificates for the abovementioned two parcels of land, and that we are not in breach of any relevant laws and regulations for the absence of the land use right certificates. However, prior to our obtaining the land use right certificates, our rights in respect of these parcels of land are not fully protected under PRC laws.

We have not signed the state-owned land use rights grant contracts pending consummation of the relevant land acquisition procedures for two parcels of land with an aggregate site area of approximately 118,522.0 square meters. These two parcels of land constitute:

  • k one parcel of land with a site area of 30,000.0 square meters to be used for construction of our future WTG and components production facility located in Shaanxi province under our WTG R&D, manufacturing and sales business segment.

  • k one parcel of land with a site area of 88,522.0 square meters to be used for development of our future wind farm project, Jilin Qianguo Wangfu Zhanfeng Wind Farm, located in Jilin province under our wind farm investment, development and sales business segment.

We estimate that the land premium in respect of these two parcels of land is approximately RMB13.4 million and expect to fund this payment with our working capital. Our PRC legal advisor has confirmed that after we have signed the state-owned land use rights grant contracts and fully paid the land premium, there is no material legal impediment to our obtaining the relevant land use right certificates, however, prior to our obtaining the land use right certificates, our rights in respect of these two parcels of land are not fully protected under PRC laws.

Buildings (excluding buildings under construction)

As at March 31, 2010, among the 119 buildings or units that we owned, held or occupied, we obtained the building ownership certificates for 98 buildings or units, with an aggregate gross floor area of approximately 106,086.6 square meters. We have applied for and are in the process of obtaining the building ownership certificates for 20 units, with an aggregate gross floor area of approximately 1,867.7 square meters. The timing for obtaining these building ownership certificates is beyond our control. The abovementioned buildings are located in Beijing and are used as staff dormitories and are not crucial to our current business operations. Our PRC legal advisor has confirmed that there is no legal impediment to our obtaining the building ownership certificates of the foregoing units after the required procedures are completed. We are not in breach of the relevant laws and regulations and not subject to any risk of penalties or sanctions. Prior to our obtaining the building ownership certificates, we are

– 124 –

BUSINESS

entitled to occupy and use these 20 units, and after we have obtained the certificates, we are entitled to occupy, use, assign, lease, pledge or otherwise dispose of the ownership rights of these 20 units in accordance with applicable laws.

As at March 31, 2010, we obtained the building ownership certificate but had not applied for the land use right certificate for one building in Xinjiang which is primarily used as a staff dormitory, with a gross floor area of approximately 160.0 square meters. We are in the process of signing the land use right transfer contract with the land use right owner of this building, and our PRC legal advisor has confirmed that after the relevant land use right certificate has been obtained, we are entitled to occupy, use, assign, lease, pledge or otherwise dispose of the ownership rights of this building in accordance with applicable laws.

Buildings under construction

As at March 31, 2010, we had six buildings under construction, with an aggregate gross floor area of approximately 33,124.3 square meters. Our PRC legal advisor has confirmed that except for four buildings with an aggregate gross floor area of approximately 14,330.9 square meters for which we did not have or were in the process of applying for and obtaining proper construction licenses, we had obtained all proper construction licenses for the buildings under construction. The four buildings under construction constitute:

  • k two buildings under construction with an aggregate gross floor area of approximately 11,603.0 square meters to be used as our WTG and components production facility located in Jiangsu province under our WTG R&D, manufacturing and sales business segment.

  • k one building under construction with a gross floor area of approximately 1,362.2 square meters to be used for our future wind farm project, Jilin Qianguo Wangfu Zhanfeng Wind Farm, located in Jilin province under our wind farm investment, development and sales business segment.

  • k one building under construction with a gross floor area of approximately 1,365.7 square meters to be used for our future wind farm project, Jiuquan Guazhou Liuyuan Trial Wind Farm, located in Gansu province under our wind farm investment development and sales business segment.

Of the foregoing four buildings under construction, we obtained the construction licenses for the two buildings located in Jiangsu province on May 13, 2010 and are still in the process of applying for and obtaining the construction licenses for the remaining two buildings. Our PRC legal advisor has confirmed that there is no legal impediment to our obtaining the relevant construction licenses for the two buildings, and the current lack of these licenses will not have a material adverse effect on our operations. However, the timing for obtaining these licenses is beyond our control. Our PRC legal advisor has advised us that we face the risk of penalty, fines, or sanction, including an order to cease construction from the relevant PRC authorities due to our lack of the proper construction licenses.

Given the remaining buildings under construction for which we have not obtained the relevant construction licenses relate to only two of our wind farm projects under construction, we are of the view that the lack of the relevant proper construction licenses is not crucial to our current business operations.

Leased Properties in the PRC

As at March 31, 2010, we leased two buildings and a unit, with an aggregate gross floor area of approximately 17,616.4 square meters, which are primarily used for production, corporate purposes or as an office.

The Shares

According to the Articles of Association, we have two classes of Shares, (i) domestic listed Shares, namely A Shares (Shares issued and subscribed for in RMB to investors within the PRC and listed in the PRC); and (ii) overseas listed Shares, namely H Shares (Shares listed in Hong Kong). A Shares and H Shares are all ordinary Shares in the share capital of our Company. However, apart from certain qualified domestic institutional investors in

SHARE CAPITAL

the PRC, H Shares generally cannot be subscribed for by or traded between legal or natural persons of the PRC. On the other hand, A Shares can only be subscribed for by and traded between legal or natural persons of the PRC, qualified foreign institutional investors or qualified foreign strategic investors and must be traded in Renminbi. The A Shares held by Xinjiang Wind Power, China Water, Wind Power Research Centre, CB Fund, Yuanjing Xinfeng, Yuanjing Xinneng and Yuanfeng Investment are subject to three years’ lock up period from December 26, 2007 when our Company was listed on the SZSE on December 26, 2007 to December 25, 2010. As required by the PRC Company Law, the A Shares held by the Directors, Supervisors and senior management are subject to transfer restrictions.

Shareholders holding different classes of the Shares are considered as different classes of Shareholders. Our Company has two classes of Shareholders, namely holders of A Shares and holders of H Shares. The rights conferred on any class of Shareholders may not be varied or abrogated unless approved by a special resolution of Shareholders’ general meeting and by holders of Shares of that class at a separate meeting conducted in accordance with the Articles of Association. The circumstances which shall be deemed to be a variation or abrogation of the rights of a class are listed in Appendix VIII to this prospectus. However, the procedures for approval by separate classes of Shareholders shall not apply (i) where we issue, upon approval by a special resolution of the Shareholders in a general meeting, either separately or concurrently once every 12 months, not more than 20% of each of our existing issued A Shares and H Shares, (ii) where our plan to issue A Shares and H Shares at the time of our establishment is implemented within 15 months from the date of approval of the relevant regulatory authorities of the PRC, including the CSRC and (iii) where the transfer of A Shares for listing and trading on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange as H Shares has been approved by the authorized securities approval authorities of the State Council, including the CSRC. Please see the subsection entitled “Transfer of our Company’s A Shares for Listing and Trading on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange as H Shares” in this prospectus for more details.

The differences between the A Shares and H Shares, including provisions on class rights, the dispatch of notices and financial reports to Shareholders, dispute resolution, registration of Shares on different branches of the register of Shareholders, the method of Share transfer and appointment of dividend receiving agents are set out in the Articles of Association and summarized in Appendix VIII to this prospectus. A Shares and H Shares will however rank pari passu with each other in all other respects and, in particular, will rank equally for all dividends or distributions declared, paid or made after the date in this prospectus. H Shareholders are not entitled to any dividend payable in respect of our distributable profits accumulated prior to January 1, 2010, including the distribution of RMB1,767.8 million approved by our Company’s 2009 annual general meeting on March 25, 2010. For further information on this distribution, please see the section entitled “Financial Information — Dividend Policy” in this prospectus. All dividends in respect of the H Shares are to be calculated in RMB and paid by us in Hong Kong dollars whereas all dividends in respect of A Shares are to be paid by us in RMB. In addition to cash, dividends may be distributed in the form of Shares. For holders of H Shares, dividends in the form of Shares will be distributed in the form of additional H Shares. For holders of A Shares, dividends in the form of Shares will be distributed in the form of additional A Shares.

Transfer of our Company’s A Shares for Listing and Trading on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange as H Shares

A Shares and H Shares are generally neither interchangeable nor fungible, and the market prices of our A Shares and H Shares may be different after the Global Offering.

However, if any holder of our A Shares is to transfer its A Shares to overseas investors for listing and trading on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, such transfer and conversion will need to be approved by the relevant PRC

SHARE CAPITAL

regulatory authorities, including the CSRC as well as go through the relevant methodology and procedure as disclosed below:

  • (1) The holder of A Shares is to obtain the requisite approval of the CSRC or the authorized securities approval authorities of the State Council for the transfer of all or part of its A Shares into H Shares.

  • (2) The holder of A Shares is to issue to us a removal request in respect of a specified number of the Shares attaching the relevant documents of title.

  • (3) Subject to obtaining the approval of the Board, we would then issue a notice to the H Share Registrar with instructions that, with effect from a specified date, our H Share Registrar is to issue the relevant holder with H Share certificates for such specified number of H Shares.

  • (4) Such specified number of A Shares to be transferred to H Shares are then re-registered on the H Share register maintained in Hong Kong on the condition that:

  • (a) our H Share Registrar lodges with the Hong Kong Stock Exchange a letter confirming the proper entry of the relevant H Shares on the H Share register and the due dispatch of H Share certificate; and

  • (b) the admission of the H Shares (converted from A Shares) to trade in Hong Kong will comply with the Listing Rules and the General Rules of CCASS and the CCASS Operational Procedures in force from time to time.

  • (5) Upon completion of the transfer and conversion, the shareholding of the relevant holder of A Shares in our A Share register will be reduced by such number of A Shares transferred and the number of H Shares register will correspondingly be increased by the same number of H Shares.

  • (6) We will comply with the Listing Rules to inform our Shareholders and the public by way of an announcement of such fact not less than three days prior to the proposed effective date.

Approval from holders of A Shares regarding the Global Offering

Approval from holders of A Shares is required for our Company to issue H Shares and seek the listing of H Shares on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. Such approval was obtained by us at the extraordinary general meeting of our Company held on September 25, 2009 and is subject to the following conditions:

  • (1) Size of the offer

The proposed number of H Shares to be offered shall not exceed 15% of the total issued share capital after the issuing of H Shares and the Over-allotment Option shall not exceed 15% if exercised.

  • (2) Method of listing

The method of listing shall be by way of international offering and public offer for subscription in Hong Kong.

  • (3) Target investors

The H Shares shall be issued to professional, institutional, individual investors and the public.

(4) Price determination basis

The issue price of the H Shares will be determined after due consideration of the interests of existing Shareholders of our Company, according to international practice, through the demands for orders and bookbuilding process, subject to the domestic and overseas capital market conditions and by reference to the valuation level of comparable companies in domestic and overseas markets.

(5) Validity period

The issue of H Shares and listing of H Shares on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange shall be completed within 12 months from the Shareholders’ meeting dated September 25, 2009.

Other than the Global Offering, our Company has not approved any other Share issue plan.

Transfer of the State-owned Shares to the NSSF

Pursuant to the Implementing Measures for the Transfer of Part of the State-owned Shares to the NSSF in Domestic Securities Market , or the Transfer Measures, jointly issued by the Ministry of Finance, the SASAC, the CSRC and the NSSF, state-owned enterprises holding the Shares prior to our A Share offering, as approved by the SASAC or other relevant state-owned assets supervision and administrative authorities, shall transfer to the NSSF part of their A Shares in our Company that, in the aggregate, equal to 10% of the aggregate number of A Shares offered in the A Shares offering. If a state-owned Shareholder is obliged to make the transfer to the NSSF under the Transfer Measures and has disposed of its A Shares, it shall discharge its transfer obligations under the Transfer Measures by paying to the NSSF the cash equivalent of the A Shares that it was obligated to transfer. The NSSF succeeds to any statutory or contractual lock ups of the transferring state-owned Shareholder and is subject to an additional lock up period of three years. The NSSF is entitled to investment returns arising from the transferred A Shares and may dispose of such A Shares subject to its lock up obligations. However, the NSSF will not participate in the day-to-day management of our Company.

Pursuant to the Transfer Measures, the supervision and administration agencies of state-owned assets will issue a preliminary approval based on the available information on the identities of our state-owned Shareholders and the number of Shares transferred. The Ministry of Finance, SASAC, CSRC and NSSF will make a joint public announcement stating our Company’s name, the name of the state-owned Shareholders and the number of Shares that should be transferred. Shares to be transferred shall be frozen from the date of the announcement.

We and our state-owned Shareholders who are obliged to transfer their A Shares to NSSF have followed the procedures as required under the Transfer Measures and as confirmed by our PRC legal advisor, our state-owned Shares which shall be transferred have been frozen pending SASAC’s unified arrangement relating to the transfer. As of April 30, 2010, the transfer had not been completed and as it is an administrative measure taken by the relevant government bureau, we have no information and are unable to speculate on when the transfer will be completed. Our PRC legal advisor has confirmed that we and our state-owned Shareholders who are obliged to transfer their A Shares to NSSF have complied with the requirements as stipulated in the Transfer Measures. As the transfer of Shares is conducted between our state-owned Shareholders and the NSSF, the transfer has no material adverse effect on our Group.

Such state-owned Shares will be converted into H Shares on a one-for-one basis and such H Shares converted will not constitute part of the Offer Shares. These four state-owned Shareholders will not receive any proceeds from the transfer of H Shares to the NSSF or any subsequent disposal of such H Shares by the NSSF. They have already submitted an application to the Xinjiang SASAC and issued an undertaking letter regarding the transfer of the stateowned Shares. Such conversion and holding of H Shares by NSSF in relation to the Global Offering has been approved by the relevant authorities including the CSRC on May 11, 2010[(1)] .

Option to Exchange Vensys AG’s Shares

On January 24 and 25, 2008, Vensys/Innowind, Saarwind (both Vensys/Innowind and Saarwind as the sellers), Goldwind Windenergy (as purchaser), our Company (as related party of purchaser) and Vensys AG entered into the Vensys Shares SPA. Vensys/Innowind, Saarwind, Windpark, Goldwind Windenergy, Vensys AG and our Company entered into the Vensys Supplemental Agreements on May 14, 2010. Vensys/Innowind, Saarwind and Windpark are all Independent Third Parties of our Company, save for their interests in Vensys AG as well as Mr. Ju¨rgen Rinck, one of the shareholders of Saarwind, and Mr. Uwe Hinz, one of the shareholders of Vensys/Innowind, being our vice president and chief technology officer, and the deputy engineer of our Company, respectively.

According to the Vensys Shares SPA and the Vensys Supplemental Agreement mentioned above, our Company granted each of the shareholders (i.e. Vensys/Innowind, Saarwind and Windpark) of the remaining 30.0% equity interest of Vensys AG the Vensys Option. Pursuant to the Vensys Option, each of Vensys/Innowind, Saarwind and Windpark has an option to exchange its remaining shares of Vensys AG in part or total into our Shares at the price of EUR11.78 per share of Vensys AG and shall be subject to the PRC laws, the relevant regulations of the PRC securities regulatory authority and the rules of the stock exchange on which our Shares are listed on the date of the exercise of the Vensys Option. The exchange share price of EUR11.78 per share of Vensys AG was the same as the share price at which our Company acquired a 70% equity interest in Vensys AG, which was based on the then valuation of Vensys AG. The number of our Shares to be exchanged upon the exercise of the Vensys Option will be calculated based on multiplying the number of shares of Vensys AG to be exchanged by the price of EUR11.78 divided by the market price of our Shares at the time the Vensys Option is exercised. The fair value of the Vensys Option as at April 30, 2008, the date of completion of our acquisition of the 70% equity interest in Vensys AG, was EUR4.46 million. Vensys/Innowind, Saarwind and Windpark are entitled to request to execute the Vensys Option from December 26, 2010 onwards. If Vensys/Innowind, Saarwind and Windpark fail to, or are unable to, exercise the Vensys Option before December 26, 2011, it will lapse automatically. Grant of the Vensys Option to each of Vensys/Innowind, Saarwind and Windpark was part of terms of the Vensys Shares SPA and the Vensys Supplemental Agreement, based on arm-length negotiations, and served the purposes of (i) incentivizing Vensys/Innowind, Saarwind and Windpark to enhance the synergy resulting from the Vensys AG acquisition; and (ii) enabling us to gain access to the remaining 1.5 million shares in Vensys AG held by Vensys/Innowind, Saarwind and Windpark.

If our Shares cannot be bought and sold freely when Vensys/Innowind, Saarwind and Windpark exercise the Vensys Option in accordance with the above requirements, or if Vensys/Innowind, Saarwind and Windpark as companies cannot convert the shares in Vensys AG to our Shares according to the German laws or the PRC laws, or Vensys/Innowind, Saarwind and Windpark do not want to accept the conversion price prescribed under PRC laws or by the PRC securities regulatory authorities or the stock exchange on which our Shares are listed, Vensys/Innowind, Saarwind and Windpark can sell to Goldwind Windenergy their remaining shares of Vensys AG in part or total at the price of EUR11.78 per share of Vensys AG and this must be accepted by Goldwind Windenergy.

SHARE CAPITAL

It is uncertain as to whether the holders of the Vensys Option would like to exchange into our A Shares or H Shares in the event that they exercise their Vensys Option. Furthermore, it is also uncertain as to whether the relevant regulatory authorities would approve their application to exchange into our A Shares or H Shares. If Vensys/Innowind, Saarwind and Windpark exercise the Vensys Option to exchange their remaining shares of Vensys AG into our A Shares or H Shares, our Company will comply with the relevant requirements of the SZSE Listing Rules or the Listing Rules requirements. Since Vensys/Innowind, Saarwind and Windpark are only entitled to request to execute the Vensys Option from December 26, 2010 onwards pursuant to the Vensys Shares SPA, we have yet to apply for such approval, including approvals from the CSRC and the Hong Kong Stock Exchange in respect of our Shares upon exercise of the Vensys Option.

OVERVIEW

We are a leading manufacturer of wind turbine generators and provider of complete wind power solutions in China. Our primary business is WTG R&D, manufacturing and sales. We also engage in the provision of comprehensive wind power services and the development of wind farms for sale to wind farm operators and investors. As an enterprise with one of the longest track records in the PRC wind power equipment manufacturing industry, we possess substantial technical expertise, strong independent R&D capabilities, and have successfully introduced innovative leading edge wind turbine technologies to the PRC market. Most of our core management team have specialized in wind power for many years, and possess significant industry experience in wind energy development and operation, giving us a deep understanding of our client base and their operational needs. Our comprehensive quality assurance system and after-sales service operations have also contributed to achieving our dominant market position. According to the International Wind Energy Development — World Market Update published by BTM, the accumulated installed capacity of WTGs manufactured by us reached 5.3 GW as of December 31, 2009, representing a market share in the PRC of approximately 21%. In 2009, our market share in the PRC in terms of newly installed capacity increased approximately 2 percentage points as compared to the previous year to approximately 20%, ranking us the fifth largest WTG manufacturer globally and the second largest in the PRC. The WWEA awarded us the World Wind Energy Award 2006 for our contribution to the development of the international wind power industry.

Our revenue primarily derives from our three business segments: WTG R&D, manufacturing and sales, wind power services and wind farm investment, development and sales. In particular, the revenue from WTG R&D, manufacturing and sales is the most significant component of our total revenue. For the three years ended December 31, 2007, 2008 and 2009, revenue from WTG R&D, manufacturing and sales was RMB3,079.2 million, RMB6,299.3 million and RMB10,347.4 million, respectively, accounting for 99.7%, 98.2% and 97.0% of our total revenue.

During the Track Record Period, we have experienced significant growth in revenues and maintained good profitability. For the three years ended December 31, 2007, 2008 and 2009, our revenue was RMB3,089.0 million, RMB6,417.3 million and RMB10,666.5 million, respectively, and our profit attributable to owners of our Company was RMB624.6 million, RMB906.4 million and RMB1,745.6 million, respectively, growing at a CAGR of 85.8% and 67.2% between 2007 and 2009, respectively.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Our financial information has been prepared in accordance with IFRS and under the historical cost convention, except for certain derivative financial instruments, which have been measured at fair value.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The preparation of financial information in conformity with IFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgment in the process of applying our accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial information are disclosed in the Accountants’ Report included as Appendix I to this prospectus.

SIGNIFICANT FACTORS AFFECTING OUR RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Demand for wind power

Demand for our products and services have been, and will continue to be, affected by demand for wind power. The increase in our total installed capacity sold during the Track Record Period was largely due to the increase in demand for wind power in the PRC. The increase in demand for wind power in the PRC has largely been driven by, among other factors, policy and tariff support from the PRC Government and improvements in local power grids. According to BTM, China’s total installed wind power capacity increased from 406 MW in 2001 to 25,853 MW in 2009, growing at a CAGR of 81.0%. According to data from the CEIC, installed wind power capacity in the PRC exceeded 99% of the total renewable energy installed capacity by December 31, 2009, making wind power the main source of renewable energy in China. In addition, according to BTM, China became the world’s largest wind power market in 2009 in terms of newly installed wind power capacity with 13.8 GWof new installations, which exceeded the total installed wind power capacity in China as at the end of 2008. Going forward, as we increase our overseas sales, we also anticipate demand for our products and services to be affected by the global demand for wind power. Global demand for wind power has been driven by factors including increasing concerns over energy independence and energy security, environmental concerns and increasing costs of fossil fuels, resulting in global installed wind power capacity increasing from 24.9 GW in 2001 to 160.1 GW in 2009 at a CAGR of 26.2%, according to BTM.

In addition, the cost of producing wind power has also decreased and is generally lower than other forms of renewable energy, making wind power a relatively more attractive investment. Moreover, due to the expansion in the scale of wind farm projects, technological advancements, greater economies of scale in the production of wind power equipment as well as more low cost financing opportunities for wind farm projects, the cost of wind power is expected to continue to decline and eventually reach a level comparable to traditional energy sources. In the PRC, the investment risk may be lower than some other countries as power grids in the PRC are required to purchase all power generated from renewable energy sources, thus mitigating the risk of reduced utilization rates caused by a decrease in demand for power. We believe that investments in wind power will continue to increase, which we anticipate will lead to an increase in demand for our products and services.

Government policies encouraging the use and development of renewable energy sources

Demand for our products and services and our results of operations during the Track Record Period have benefited from environmental regulations and programs in the PRC, which encourage the use and development of renewable energy sources, in particular, wind power generation. For instance, according to the Medium and LongTerm Development Plan of Renewable Energy promulgated by the NDRC on August 31, 2007, for investors who have attributable installed capacity of over 5.0 GWof power generation, attributable installed capacity of renewable power generation owned must exceed 3% and 8% of attributable installed capacity owned by 2010 and 2020, respectively. In addition, we have also benefited from certain tax regulations such as the Circular on the Comprehensive Utilization of Some Resources and VAT Policy on Other Products jointly issued by the Ministry of Finance and the State Administration of Taxation on December 1, 2001, which stipulated the policy of reducing the value-added tax levied on electricity generated from wind power by 50%.

– 153 –

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

These and other relevant policies have benefited our results of operations by encouraging the demand for wind power and thus our products and services, and we anticipate that our results of operations will continue to be affected by government policies encouraging the adoption of renewable energy sources and, in particular, wind power. Please see the section entitled “Regulations” in this prospectus for a more detailed discussion of the various policies and regulations enacted by the PRC Government in relation to renewable energy.

Ability to design and launch technologically advanced and cost-competitive WTGs and WTG components

Our operating results and future growth depend on our ability to continue to develop and launch technologically advanced and cost-competitive WTGs and core components. We have already completed the 2.5 MW and 3.0 MW WTG prototypes and are developing our 5.0 MW WTG. We also continue to optimize the performance of our products through our R&D efforts, and during the Track Record Period, the total amount of our R&D expenditures (including R&D expenses and capitalized R&D costs) were RMB34.1 million, RMB79.8 million and RMB93.2 million, respectively. We have been able to maintain relatively low R&D expenditures due to the low operational costs of our R&D centers in the PRC, including staff costs, components used in our R&D processes and depreciation on our laboratory equipment. For instance, we will continue to develop and introduce more advanced WTGs customized for optimum performance under diverse operating conditions such as low and high temperatures, high altitudes, low wind velocity and coastal areas. As our customers’ needs evolve, the wind turbine specifications they require typically change as well. Our ability to design and develop new products that meet these changing requirements has been and will continue to be critical to our ability to maintain and increase our total installed capacity sold and profitability. As a result, we expect to continue to make significant investments in R&D, particularly with respect to designing and developing more technologically advanced and cost-competitive WTGs and core WTG components.

Total Installed capacity sold and product mix of our WTGs

Our results of operations have been and are expected to continue to be substantially affected by our total installed capacity sold and our WTG product mix. Set out below is a breakdown of our total installed capacity sold by WTG series for the three years ended December 31, 2007, 2008 and 2009, respectively.

Increases in our revenue during the Track Record Period were largely due to the overall increases in our total installed capacity sold and changes in our WTG product mix. Our total installed capacity sold was 754.5 MW, 1,372.5 MW and 2,035.5 MW for the three years ended December 31, 2007, 2008 and 2009, respectively. The increase in our total installed capacity sold during the Track Record Period was mainly due to market recognition of our direct-drive permanent magnet full-power rectification technology which resulted in increase in demand for our products. We commenced selling our 1.5 MW WTGs during the year ended December 31, 2007 and it became our primary product sold during the year ended December 31, 2009. As our 1.5 MW WTGs generally have a higher ASP

– 154 –

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

than our 750 kW WTGs, the increased proportion of 1.5 MW WTGs in our total installed capacity sold during the Track Record Period has also been a significant factor driving our revenue growth.

In addition, changes in our WTG product mix during the Track Record Period have also affected our gross margins. Please see the subparagraph headed “— Results of Operations — Gross profit and gross margin” in this prospectus for further details.

The ASP of our WTGs sold

Our results of operation have been affected by the ASP of our WTGs sold. The ASP of our WTGs sold for the three years ended December 31, 2007, 2008 and 2009 is set out below.

The ASP of our 750 kW WTGs increased slightly during the Track Record Period, mainly due to increased sales of the 750 kW WTGs which were sold together with complementary components such as towers, at a higher price. In addition, the increase in the ASP of our 750 kW WTGs in 2009 was also due to certain tax benefits granted by the PRC Government.

The ASP of our 1.5 MW WTGs decreased in the year ended December 31, 2008, primarily because the prices of our 1.5MW WTGs were reduced to reflect the significant decrease in our cost resulting from increased economies of scale achieved in our production. The ASP of our 1.5 MW WTGs increased in the year ended December 31, 2009, primarily because our 1.5 MW WTGs manufactured in Germany were sold at a higher price than those sold in the PRC.

During the Track Record Period, the ASP of our WTGs had remained largely stable, but we had proactively adjusted our selling prices in the midst of competition, and implemented the following marketing strategies to address increasing competition: (i) increasing our R&D efforts to develop more advanced WTGs and improve the performance of our WTGs; and (ii) reducing costs through investment in cost control measures and optimization of our supply chain to further enhance our price competitiveness.

Supply and cost of raw materials and components

Our results of operations are affected by our ability to procure the raw materials and components necessary to manufacture our products. We have the in-house capabilities to develop, design and manufacture certain core components. We also purchase components from suppliers in the PRC, and have three to five designated suppliers for some of our core components. Although we have maintained stable relationships with most of our suppliers and believe that we are able to purchase the requisite components on reasonable commercial terms from other qualified suppliers when necessary, our results of operations may be materially and adversely affected if we were to encounter any shortages in our supply of components.

In addition, the primary raw materials used in our components include steel, copper and rare earth materials. Accordingly, our results of operations are affected by movements in prices for steel, copper and rare earth materials which have generally fluctuated during the Track Record Period. For instance, a significant fluctuation in the price

– 155 –

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

of raw materials in China in 2008 affected the price of the components required for our products. The price of copper fluctuated significantly during the Track Record Period, especially in the second half of 2008 and early 2009. For instance, according to the London Metals Exchange, or the LME, the copper price reached a high of approximately US$8,900 per ton in July 2008 and dropped to a low of approximately US$2,800 per ton in late December 2008. In April 2010, the average LME copper price was around US$7,700 per ton. The price of steel also fluctuated significantly during the Track Record Period, especially in the second half of 2008 and the first half of 2009. For instance, according to Shanghai Wind Info, the spot price of 6mm steel plate in Beijing reached a high of approximately RMB7,000 per ton in May 2008 and dropped to a low of approximately RMB3,500 per ton in April 2009. In April 2010, the average spot price of 6mm steel plate in Beijing was around RMB5,000 per ton. Similar price trends have been observed for other raw steel products in the same period. We do not hedge our exposure to movements in the prices of steel, copper, rare earth materials and other raw materials, as we generally do not directly purchase raw materials for our production and we have stable supply of parts and components at relatively favorable prices. We are thus exposed to the risk of increases in the prices of these raw materials and components and to the extent we cannot fully pass on the price increases in these raw materials and components to our customers, or at all, our business operations and financial performance could be affected. However, because we do not directly purchase steel, copper, rare earth materials and other raw materials, historically the fluctuations of our costs had been much less than those of the foregoing raw materials. Going forward, we believe the impact of the fluctuation in the prices of raw materials on our business is limited mainly because (i) we have signed contracts for a term of generally one to two years with suppliers of parts and components to ensure stable component prices; (ii) our suppliers are generally willing to grant us relatively favorable prices as we are often their largest customer, and we have maintained an outstanding credit rating and reputation with them; and (iii) our suppliers may not be able to pass on substantial cost increases to us due to the intense competition among them as a result of our lack of reliance on any particular suppliers.

Our results of operations have historically been subject to seasonal fluctuations

Sales from our WTG R&D, manufacturing and sales business segment have been subject to cyclical fluctuations during the Track Record Period. Depending primarily on the location of our customers’ wind farms, our sales may be higher during the end months of the year due to our customers’ wind farms being located mainly in northern China, where, because of weather conditions, the construction of wind farm projects tends to commence at the beginning of the year, with construction carried out through the year, and installation at the end of the year.

While we anticipate the cyclicality of our business may decrease due to increasing numbers of our customers located in regions other than northern China, our results of operations may continue to fluctuate from quarter to quarter. Comparisons of our sales and operating results between the different periods within a single year, or between the same periods in different financial years, are not necessarily meaningful and should not be relied on as indicators of our performance.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Critical accounting policies are those that require management to exercise judgment and make estimates that yield materially different results if management were to apply different assumptions or make different estimates. Our financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS. Our principal accounting policies are set forth in Note 3.2 to Accountants’ Report, attached as Appendix I to this prospectus. IFRS requires that we adopt accounting policies and make estimates that the Directors believe are most appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of giving a true and fair view of our results and financial condition. We believe the most complex and

– 156 –

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

sensitive judgments, because of their significance to our results of operations and financial condition, result primarily from the need to make estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain. Actual results in these areas could differ from our estimates. The critical accounting policies we have adopted are described below.

Revenue recognition

Revenue is recognized when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to us and when the revenue can be measured reliably on the following bases:

  • (a) from the sale of individual wind turbines based on standard solutions (supply-only projects) as well as spare parts sales, when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the buyer, provided that we maintain neither managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership, nor effective control over the goods sold;

  • (b) from the sale of electricity, upon the transmission of electric power to the power grid companies, as determined based on the volume of electric power transmitted and the applicable fixed tariff rates agreed with the respective electric power grid companies periodically;

  • (c) from construction contracts, on the percentage of completion basis;

  • (d) from the rendering of wind power services, when the agreed services are performed, provided over the term of the agreement;

  • (e) rental income, on a time proportion basis over the lease terms;

  • (f) interest income, on an accrual basis using the effective interest method by applying the rate that discounts the estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial instrument to the net carrying amount of the financial asset; and

  • (g) dividend income, when the shareholders’ right to receive payment has been established.

Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of our Company and our subsidiaries, including wind farm project companies. The results of subsidiaries are consolidated from the date of incorporation or the date of acquisition, being the date on which our Group obtains control, and continue to be consolidated until the date on which such control ceases. All income, expenses and unrealised gains and losses resulting from intercompany transactions and intercompany balances within our Group are eliminated on consolidation in full. Upon disposal of subsidiaries, including wind farm project companies, gains on disposal of subsidiaries are recorded in other income and gains in the statements of comprehensive income.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is determined on the weighted average basis and, in the case of work in progress, semi-finished goods and finished goods, comprises direct materials, direct labor and an appropriate proportion of overheads. Net realizable value is based on estimated selling prices less any estimated costs to be incurred to completion and disposal.

– 157 –

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Impairment of trade and bills receivables

In determining impairment losses, we conduct regular reviews of the aging analysis and evaluation of collectibles on a case by case basis. We estimate that certain trade and bills receivables unsettled over one year are still recoverable based on our analyses of the respective credit histories and financial positions of the relevant customers. However, such estimates involve inherent uncertainties, and the actual unrecoverable amount may be higher than the amount estimated.

Provisions

A provision is recognized when a present obligation (legal or constructive) has arisen as a result of a past event, and it is probable that a future outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, provided that a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

When the effect of discounting is material, the amount recognized for a provision is the present value at the end of the reporting period of the future expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation. The increase in the discounted present value amount arising from the passage of time is included in “Finance costs” in the statement of comprehensive income.

Provisions for product warranties granted by us on certain products are recognized based on sales volume and past experience of the level of repairs, discounted to their present values as appropriate.

Property, plant and equipment and depreciation

Property, plant and equipment, including wind farms under operation, other than construction in progress, are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairment losses. The cost of an item of property, plant and equipment comprises its purchase price and any directly attributable costs of bringing the asset to its working condition and location for its intended use. Expenditure incurred after items of property, plant and equipment have been put into operation, such as repairs and maintenance, is normally charged to the income statement in the period in which it is incurred. In situations where the recognition criteria are satisfied, the expenditure for a major inspection is capitalised in the carrying amount of the asset as a replacement. Where significant parts of property, plant and equipment are required to be replaced at intervals, the Group recognises such parts as individual assets with specific useful lives and depreciation.

Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis to write off the cost of each item of property, plant and equipment to its residual value over its estimated useful life. The principal annual rates used for this purpose are as follows:

ws:
Buildings. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.4% to 3.2%
Machinery . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 4.8% to 19.2%

Electronic equipment and others. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 9.6% to 19.2%

Where parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, the cost of that item is allocated on a reasonable basis among the parts and each part is depreciated separately.

Residual values, useful lives and the depreciation method are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at least at each financial year end.

An item of property, plant and equipment and any significant part initially recognised is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss on disposal or

– 158 –

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

retirement is recognized in profit or loss in the year the asset is derecognized and is equal to the difference between the net sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the relevant asset.

Construction in progress represents property, plant and equipment (including wind farms under construction) which is stated at cost less any impairment losses, and is not depreciated. Cost comprises the direct costs of construction and capitalized borrowing costs on related borrowed funds during the period of construction. Construction in progress is reclassified to the appropriate category of property, plant and equipment when completed and ready for use.

Goodwill

Goodwill arising on the acquisition of subsidiaries, associates and jointly-controlled entities represents the excess of the cost of the business combination over our interest in the net fair value of the acquirees’ identifiable assets acquired, and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed as at the date of acquisition.

Goodwill arising on acquisition is recognized in the consolidated statement of financial position as an asset, initially measured at cost and subsequently at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. In the case of associates and jointly-controlled entities, goodwill is included in the carrying amount thereof, rather than as a separately identified asset in the consolidated statement of financial positions.

The carrying amount of goodwill is reviewed for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired. We perform our annual impairment test of goodwill as at December 31. For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of our cash-generating units, or group of cash-generating units, that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination, irrespective of whether our other assets or liabilities are assigned to those units or groups of units.

Impairment is determined by assessing the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit, or group of cashgenerating units to which the goodwill relates. Where the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit, or group of cash-generating units is less than the carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognized. An impairment loss recognized for goodwill is not reversed in a subsequent period.

Where goodwill forms part of a cash-generating unit, or group of cash-generating units and part of the operation within that unit is disposed of, the goodwill associated with the operation disposed of is included in the carrying amount of the operation when determining the gain or loss on disposal of the operation. Goodwill disposed of in this circumstance is measured based on the relative values of the operation disposed of and the portion of the cash-generating unit retained.

Intangible assets, other than goodwill

Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. The cost of intangible assets acquired in a business combination is the fair value as at the date of acquisition. The useful lives of intangible assets are assessed to be either finite or indefinite. Intangible assets with finite lives are subsequently amortized over the useful economic life and assessed for impairment whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired. The amortization period and the amortization method for an intangible asset with a finite useful life are reviewed at least at each financial year end.

Patent and licenses

Purchased patents and licenses are stated at cost less any impairment losses and are amortized on the straightline basis over the shorter of their estimated useful lives of seven to ten years and the relevant license periods.

R&D costs

All research costs are charged to the statement of comprehensive income as incurred.

Expenditure incurred on projects to develop new products is capitalized and deferred only when we can demonstrate the technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale, our intention to complete and our ability to use or sell the asset, how the asset will generate future economic benefits, the availability of resources to complete the project and the ability to measure reliably the expenditure during the development. Product development expenditure which does not meet these criteria is expensed when incurred.

Deferred development costs are stated at cost less any impairment losses and are amortized using the straightline basis over the commercial lives of the underlying products commencing from the date when the products are put into commercial production.

Derivative financial instrument

We are exposed to foreign currency risk on cash and cash equivalents, receivables, payables and bank loans that are denominated in a currency other than the respective functional currencies of our entities. The currencies giving rise to this risk are primarily the euro and U.S. dollar. We use forward currency contracts to hedge our foreign currency risk. Forward currency contracts are initially recognised at fair value on the date on which such derivative contracts are entered into and are subsequently re-measured at fair value. Derivatives are carried as assets when the fair value is positive and as liabilities when the fair value is negative. Any gains or losses arising from changes in fair value of derivatives are taken directly to profit or loss, except for the effective portion of cash flow hedges, which is recognised in other comprehensive income. Since the hedge adopted by us could not meet the strict criteria for hedge accounting, all gains or losses arising from changes in fair value of the forward currency contracts are taken directly to profit or loss immediately.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

There was a change in our WTG product mix during the Track Record Period. For the two years ended December 31, 2007 and 2008, our 750 kW WTGs accounted for 88.7% and 62.2% of our total installed capacity sold, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2009, 1.5 MW WTGs became our primary product and accounted for 78.2% of our total installed capacity sold.

Revenue from our wind power services segment primarily comprise wind farm maintenance and EPC revenue generated by our subsidiary, Beijing Tianyuan and transportation revenue generated by our subsidiary, XJ Tianyun.

Revenue from our wind farm investment, development and sales is generated from tariffs that our wind farms receive. We operate our wind farms and receive fees for the power generated before our wind farms are sold. Gains from the sales of our wind farms are recorded under other income and gains, net.

Cost of sales

Our cost of sales consists primarily of raw materials and components, labor, depreciation and amortization, other production costs and inventory changes and transferred fixed assets. Raw materials and components mainly include blades, generators, structural parts and electric control systems. Labor costs mainly include wages and salaries for our workers directly involved in our production processes and in the provision of wind power services. Depreciation expenses represent depreciation expenses for fixed assets we use in our business. Amortization represents amortization of certain intangible assets used in our business. Inventory changes represent the changes of work in progress and finished goods, and transferred fixed assets represent use of our WTGs as the fixed assets of our wind farms. The following table provides a breakdown of our cost of sales for the periods indicated:

The gross profit margin for our 750 kW WTGs decreased from 31.8% for the year ended December 31, 2007 to 28.0% for the year ended December 31, 2008, as a result of the increase in raw material prices in 2008. It increased to 32.8% for the year ended December 31, 2009 primarily due to the decrease in the prices of raw materials and components in 2009 as well as the optimization of our supply chain.

The increase in gross profit margin for our 1.5 MW WTGs in 2008 was mainly due to the decrease in cost as a result of the improvement of our economies of scale, even though prices of raw materials and components rose in 2008. The increase in gross profit margin for our 1.5 MW WTGs in 2009 was mainly due to the decrease in the prices of raw materials and components as well as the optimization of our supply chain.

Other income and gains, net

Our net other income and gains consist primarily of gains from sales of wind farms under our wind farm investment, development and sales business segment, including gains realized from the sales of wind power equipment resulting from such sales of wind farms. Expenses to operate wind farms we own are accounted for as part of costs of sales in the income statement rather than being net against other income and gains in the income statement. Other income and gains also include bank interest income, value-added tax refund, insurance compensation on product warranty expenditures, gross rental income and government grants received as financial subsidies for our R&D projects and upgrading of our production facilities.

We sold two wind farms in November 2008 and another two wind farms in March and November 2009. Sales of our wind farms depend on many factors, including our ability to acquire sites with suitable wind resources, our ability to successfully develop and operate newly constructed wind farms, and prevailing market conditions. There is no trend or pattern in the timing of our sale of wind farms. We recognised gains on sales of wind farms through disposals of subsidiaries which own the relevant wind farms.

Selling and distribution costs

Our selling and distribution costs consist primarily of product warranty provisions, delivery charges, insurance expenses, bidding service fees, labor costs, loading and unloading fees, travel expenses and other selling and distribution costs.

Administrative expenses

Administrative expenses consist primarily of R&D expenses, labor costs, taxes, depreciation, consultant fees, travel expenses and other expenses.

– 163 –

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Other expenses

Our other expenses consist primarily of impairment provisions in connection with our trade and bills receivables and bank processing fees.

Income tax

Under the New EIT Law, except for certain preferential tax treatment available to our Company and our subsidiaries, jointly-controlled entities and associates in the PRC, our PRC entities were subject to an enterprise income tax rate of 33%, 25% and 25% for the three years ended December 31, 2007, 2008 and 2009, respectively. Our Company was exempt from enterprise income tax from the start of the Track Record Period to March 31, 2008 in accordance with certain preferential tax policies issued by the government of Xinjiang. From April 1, 2008 to December 31, 2008, our Company was taxed at the preferential tax rate of 15% in accordance with policies encouraging the development of the western regions of the PRC. In addition, our Company has been identified as a “high and new technology enterprise” and is thus entitled to a preferential tax rate of 15% for the year ended December 31, 2009 and the two years ending December 31, 2010 and 2011.

Our overseas subsidiaries were subject to tax rates prevailing in those countries based on existing legislation, interpretations and practices in respect thereof during the Track Record Period. We did not pay any taxes in Hong Kong during the Track Record Period as we did not generate any assessable profits during this period.

YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2009 COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2008

Revenue

Revenue increased by RMB4,249.2 million, or 66.2%, to RMB10,666.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2009 from RMB6,417.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2008. The increase in revenue was primarily due to the increase in revenue generated from our WTG R&D, manufacturing and sales business segment.

Revenue from our WTG R&D, manufacturing and sales business segment increased by RMB4,048.1 million, or 64.3%, from RMB6,299.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2008 to RMB10,347.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2009, primarily due to the increase in our total installed capacity sold and an increase in our ASP resulting from the increased sales of our 1.5 MW WTGs. Our total installed capacity sold increased by 663.0 MW, or 48.3%, from 1,372.5 MW for the year ended December 31, 2008 to 2,035.5 MW for the year ended December 31, 2009, mainly due to market recognition of our direct-drive permanent magnet full-power rectification technology and the subsequent increase in demand for our products. Our ASP also increased, primarily due to an increase in installed capacity sold generated from sales of our 1.5 MW WTGs, which have higher ASP than our 750 kW WTGs. Sales of 1.5 MW WTGs accounted for 78.2% of our total installed capacity sold for the year ended December 31, 2009, as compared to 37.8% of our total installed capacity sold for the year ended December 31, 2008, in line with our strategy of increasing the proportion of our 1.5 MW WTGs in our installed capacity sold.

Revenue from our wind power services increased by RMB185.9 million, or 627.7%, to RMB215.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2009 from RMB29.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2008. The increase was due in part to the RMB110.3 million increase in revenue, as compared to nil in the prior period as EPC services were not provided by Beijing Tianyuan until 2009. The increase was also due to the over twenty fold increase in revenue, from RMB3.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2008 to RMB97.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2009, generated by XJ Tianyun in connection with the transportation services it provides for our

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

customers. This significant increase occurred because beginning in the fourth quarter of 2008, XJ Tianyun began to contract directly with wind farm operators for the transportation of our WTGs, and we began accounting for this revenue separately from our sales of WTGs.

Revenue from our wind farm investment, development and sales also increased, by RMB15.2 million, or 17.3% to RMB103.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2009 from RMB88.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2008 due to the increase in the installed capacity of our wind farms in operation and increase in the period of time that these wind farms were operated by us before being sold.

Cost of sales

Our cost of sales increased by RMB3,013.0 million, or 61.5%, to RMB7,908.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2009 from RMB4,895.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2008. The increase in cost of sales was primarily due to the increase in our total installed capacity sold, particularly as a result of the substantial increase in installed capacity sold from our 1.5 MW WTGs which has higher ASPs. This increase was partially offset by decreases in the costs of our raw materials and components as well as improved economies of scale in connection with the production of our 1.5 MW WTGs as a result of the improvement of technologies and our expansion of production facilities using part of the proceeds we received from our A Share offering in December 2007.

Gross profit and gross margin

Due to the foregoing, our gross profit was RMB2,757.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2009, representing an increase of RMB1,236.2 million, or 81.3%, from RMB1,521.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2008, and our gross margin increased to 25.9% for the year ended December 31, 2009 from 23.7% for the year ended December 31, 2008.

Other income and gains, net

Our net other income and gains decreased by RMB1.7 million, or 0.5%, to RMB335.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2009 from RMB337.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2008, primarily due to a decrease of gain on disposals of subsidiaries of RMB73.3 million, offset partly by an increase in the government grants we received of RMB41.1 million, or 386.2%, from RMB10.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2008 to RMB51.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2009, and an increase in gain on disposal of available-for-sale investments of RMB12.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2009 in connection with the sale of some of our interests in investee companies as compared to nil for the year ended December 31, 2008.

Selling and distribution costs

Selling and distribution costs for the year ended December 31, 2009 was RMB689.8 million, an increase of RMB403.1 million, or 140.6%, from RMB286.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2008. The increase in our selling and distribution costs was primarily due to the increase in product warranty provisions by RMB327.1 million, or 248.3%, to RMB458.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2009 from RMB131.7 million for the ended December 31, 2008. Product warranty provisions represent provisions for product warranties granted by us on certain products recognized based on sales volume and past experience of the level of repairs, discounted to their present values as appropriate. The increase in product warranty provision was primarily due to the substantial increase in sales of 1.5 MW WTGs, which generally require more expensive raw materials and components than those used for 750 kW WTGs. In addition, our insurance premium increased by

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

RMB33.3 million, or 340.7%, from RMB9.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2008 to RMB43.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2009, primarily due to the increase in our total installed capacity sold.

Administrative expenses

Administrative expenses increased by RMB39.3 million, or 16.6%, to RMB276.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2009 from RMB237.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2008 primarily due to an increase in labor costs for our administrative staff. The salaries and benefits for our administrative staff increased by RMB21.1 million, or 26.2%, to RMB101.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2009 from RMB80.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2008, as a result of the increase in staff in connection with the expansion of our business.

Other expenses

Our other expenses decreased by RMB68.5 million, or 46.9%, to RMB77.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2009 from RMB145.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2008. The decrease in our other expenses was primarily due to a decrease in impairment provisions as a result of our improved collections in the year ended December 31, 2009.

Finance costs

Finance costs increased by RMB19.8 million, or 46.1%, to RMB62.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2009 from RMB43.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2008 primarily due to an increase of RMB32.1 million, or 45.3%, in our interest expenses from RMB70.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2008 to RMB102.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2009, in connection with an increase in our bank and other borrowings to RMB2,624.0 million as at December 31, 2009 from RMB1,331.7 million as at December 31, 2008. Our effective interest rate[(1)] decreased to 5.2% for the year ended December 31, 2009 from 7.2% for the year ended December 31, 2008.

Share of loss of jointly-controlled entities

Share of loss of our jointly-controlled entities was RMB0.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2009 versus nil for the year ended December 31, 2008 as we did not have any jointly-controlled entities during the year ended December 31, 2008. We established or acquired jointly-controlled entities during the year ended December 31, 2009.

Share of gains of associates

Share of gains of associates increased to RMB4.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2009 versus nil for the year ended December 31, 2008 as we did not have any associates during the year ended December 31, 2008. We established one associate during the year ended December 31, 2009 and a second became an associate during the year ended December 31, 2009 due to an increase in its registered capital contributed by us.

(1) Effective interest rates are calculated in the following manner: Finance cost (interest capitalized included) divided by average balance of interest-bearing bank and other borrowings (total interest-bearing bank and borrowings at the beginning of the period plus total interest-bearing bank and other borrowings at the end of the period divided by two).

sold for the year ended December 31, 2007 to 37.8% of our total installed capacity sold for the year ended December 31, 2008.

Revenue from our wind power services business segment increased by RMB19.7 million, or 200.7%, to RMB29.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2008 from RMB9.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2007. The increase was primarily due to an increase in wind power services fees generated by our subsidiary, Beijing Tianyuan, by RMB16.3 million, or 165.6%, to RMB26.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2008, from RMB9.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2007, as Beijing Tianyuan did not become our subsidiary until May 2007 and thus we did not consolidate Beijing Tianyuan’s revenues into our accounts until then.

Revenue from our wind farm investment, development and sales business segment was nil for the year ended December 31, 2007 and RMB88.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2008, as a result of our wind farms’ commencement of operations during the year ended December 31, 2008, two of which were sold in November 2008.

Cost of sales

Our cost of sales increased by RMB2,718.7 million, or 124.9%, to RMB4,895.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2008 from RMB2,177.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2007. The increase was primarily due to the increase in our installed capacity sold from both our 750 kW and 1.5 MW WTGs and corresponding increase in our purchase of raw materials and components. In addition, our cost of sales increased more than our revenue in part because of significant fluctuations in the prices of raw materials in China in 2008 and because our 1.5 MW WTGs were still new products in 2008 and had not yet achieved significant economies of scale.

Gross profit and gross margin

Due to the foregoing, our gross profit increased by RMB609.6 million, or 66.8%, to RMB1,521.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2008 from RMB911.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 and our gross margin decreased to 23.7% for the year ended December 31, 2008 from 29.5% for the year ended December 31, 2007.

Other income and gains, net

Other net income and gains increased by RMB299.1 million, or 783.7%, to RMB337.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2008 from RMB38.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2007. The increase was primarily due to the RMB263.1 million in gains from the sale of two wind farms, each with an installed capacity of 49.5 MW in November 2008. In addition, our bank interest income increased by RMB15.1 million, or 310.8%, to RMB19.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2008 from RMB4.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2007, primarily due to the interest received from our net proceeds in connection with our listing on the SZSE in December 2007.

Selling and distribution costs

Selling and distribution costs increased by RMB179.5 million, or 167.4%, to RMB286.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2008 from RMB107.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 primarily as a result of a RMB99.9 million increase, or 314.1%, in our product warranty provisions to RMB131.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2008 from RMB31.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2007. The increase in product warranty provisions was primarily the result of the increased installed capacity sold from our 1.5 MW WTGs. In addition, our delivery charges increased by RMB33.3 million, or 285.4%, to RMB45.0 million for the year ended

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

December 31, 2008 from RMB11.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2007, as a result of the increase in our total installed capacity sold, mainly due to market recognition of our direct-drive permanent magnet full-power rectification technology and general increase in demand for our products. Our selling and distribution costs also increased because of an increase in our bidding service fees, labor costs in relation to selling and distribution, and loading and unloading fees by RMB48.7 million, or 148.3% from RMB32.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 to RMB81.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2008, due to the increase in our sales.

Administrative expenses

Our administrative expenses were RMB237.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2008, an increase of RMB75.1 million, or 46.4%, from RMB161.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2007. The increase in our administrative expenses was primarily due to a substantial increase in our R&D expenses by RMB47.1 million, or 149.0%, to RMB78.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2008 from RMB31.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2007, in connection with R&D expenses incurred with respect to our 2.5 MW and 3.0 MW WTGs.

Other expenses

Other expenses increased by RMB109.6 million, or 302.7%, to RMB145.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2008 from RMB36.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 primarily as a result of an increase in impairment provisions in connection with an increase in our trade and bills receivables and bank processing fees.

Finance costs

Finance costs increased by RMB20.1 million, or 87.3%, to RMB43.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2008 from RMB22.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 primarily due to the increase in our interest expenses by RMB44.4 million, or 168.2%, to RMB70.8 million from RMB26.4 million as a result of the increase in our bank and other borrowings to RMB1,331.7 million as at December 31, 2008 from RMB623.0 million as at December 31, 2007. Our effective interest rate increased to 7.2% for the year ended December 31, 2008 from 6.4% for the year ended December 31, 2007.

Profit before tax

As a result of the foregoing, profit before tax increased by RMB524.4 million, or 84.4%, to RMB1,146.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2008 from RMB621.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2007.

Income tax

We had a tax charge of RMB120.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2008 while we had a tax credit of RMB8.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2007. Our effective tax rate was 10.5% and (1.3)% for the two years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. During the two years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, we had current taxes in the amount of RMB210.5 million and RMB0.1 million, respectively, primarily due to our Company being exempt from enterprise income tax in 2007 and the first three months of 2008 and being subject to a preferential tax rate of 15% during the last nine months of 2008 in accordance with certain preferential tax policies issued by the government of Xinjiang.

Our net profit margin decreased to 14.1% for the year ended December 31, 2008 from 20.2% for the year ended December 31, 2007, mainly due to our gross margin shrinkage.

Revenue

Revenue increased by RMB758.5 million, or 70.2%, to RMB1,838.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 from RMB1,080.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The increase in revenue was primarily due to the increase in revenue generated from sales of our WTGs, offset by a slight decrease in the WTG ASPs.

Revenue for our WTG R&D, manufacturing and sales business segment was RMB1,781.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 as compared to RMB1,046.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009. In particular, revenue from our sales of WTGs increased by RMB834.1 million, or 89.0%, to RMB1,771.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 from RMB936.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009, primarily due to our increased total installed capacity sold. Our total installed capacity sold increased by 178.9 MW, or 98.6%, from 181.5 MW for the three months ended March 31, 2009 to 360.4 MW for the three months ended March 31, 2010, due to increased demand for our products and greater market recognition of our direct-drive permanent magnet full-power rectification technology.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Revenue from our wind power services business segment increased by RMB21.9 million, or 492.4%, to RMB26.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 from RMB4.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The increase was primarily due to the increase in revenue of RMB26.2 million generated from wind farm EPC services provided by Beijing Tianyuan, partially offset by a decrease of RMB4.0 million in the revenue from wind-farm-related technical services provided by Beijing Tianyuan, as it gradually allocated more resources to its EPC business, which offers a complete service package including individual technical services, to customers.

Revenue from our wind farm investment, development and sales business segment was RMB29.3 million and RMB30.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2010, respectively. Our revenue from this business segment remained stable.

Cost of sales

Our cost of sales increased by RMB494.3 million, or 59.4%, to RMB1,326.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 from RMB832.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The increase in cost of sales was primarily due to our increased total installed capacity sold. Our cost of sales increased at a lower rate than our revenue because we were able to offset the increase in costs by decreases in WTG unit production cost as a result of greater economies of scale and increased in-house production of core components.

Gross profit and gross margin

Due to the foregoing, our gross profit was RMB512.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010, representing an increase of RMB264.2 million, or 106.5%, from RMB248.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009, and our gross margin increased to 27.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2010 from 23.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2009.

Other income and gains, net

Our net other income and gains decreased by RMB65.5 million, or 64.8%, to RMB35.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 from RMB101.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009, primarily because we recorded a gain of RMB82.3 million from the sale of a wind farm with an installed capacity of 49.5 MW in March 2009 while we did not sell any wind farms during the three months ended March 31, 2010 and thus did not recognize any gain on disposal of subsidiaries during this period. The decrease in our net other income and gains was partially offset by an increase of RMB12.0 million in net exchange gain, due to the effect of the Euro’s depreciation on our Euro-denominated bank borrowings.

Selling and distribution costs

Selling and distribution costs for the three months ended March 31, 2010 was RMB123.5 million, representing an increase of RMB82.7 million, or 202.0%, from RMB40.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The increase in our selling and distribution costs was primarily due to the increase in product warranty provisions by RMB63.5 million, or 246.0%, to RMB89.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 from RMB25.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009, as a result of the substantial increase in our WTG sales volume.

Administrative expenses

Administrative expenses increased by RMB24.0 million, or 62.4%, to RMB62.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 from RMB38.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009, primarily due to an increase in salaries and benefits for our administrative staff and an increase in consulting fees. The salaries and benefits for our administrative staff increased by RMB7.3 million, or 63.2%, to RMB18.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 from RMB11.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009, as a result of the increase in staff in connection with the expansion of our business. Our consulting fees increased by RMB2.7 million, or 420.9%, to RMB3.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 from RMB0.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009, primarily as a result of market research expenses incurred in connection with the expanded scale of our wind farm investment, development and sales business.

Other expenses/income

Our other income was RMB19.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009. Our other expenses were RMB29.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The increase in our other expenses was primarily due to an increase in impairment provisions in connection with our trade and bills receivables due to the increase in our sales.

Finance costs

Finance costs decreased by RMB1.4 million, or 9.4%, to RMB13.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 from RMB14.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009, primarily due to a RMB10.9 million, or 104.0%, increase in our capitalized interest from RMB10.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009 to RMB21.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 as a result of expansion of our wind farm investment, development and sales business. This decrease is partially offset by a RMB9.5 million, or 39.1%, increase in our interest expenses from RMB24.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009 to RMB33.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010, in connection with an increase in our bank and other borrowings to RMB3,069.5 million as at March 31, 2010 from RMB2,624.0 million as at December 31, 2009. Our effective interest rate decreased to 4.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2010 from 7.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2009.

Share of losses of jointly-controlled entities

Share of losses of our jointly-controlled entities was RMB0.02 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 versus nil for the three months ended March 31, 2009.

Share of profit/losses of associates

Share of losses of associates was RMB1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010, while share of profit of associates was RMB0.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009.

Profit before tax

Due to the foregoing, profit before tax increased by RMB42.7 million, or 15.5%, to RMB318.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 from RMB275.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Income Tax

We had a tax charge of RMB60.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and a tax charge of RMB72.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009. Our effective tax rate was 26.2% and 19.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2010, respectively. The decrease in our effective tax rates was primarily because from May 2009 (including the three months ended March 31, 2010) our Company was entitled to the preferential enterprise income tax rate of 15% for high-and-new technology enterprises.

Profit for the period

As a result of the foregoing, profit for the period increased by RMB54.4 million, or 26.8%, to RMB257.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 from RMB203.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009.

Profit attributable to minority interests

Our profit attributable to minority interests increased by RMB1.1 million, or 13.0%, to RMB9.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 from RMB8.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009.

Profit attributable to owners of the Company and net profit margin

Due to the foregoing, profit attributable to owners of our Company increased by RMB53.3 million, or 27.4%, to RMB248.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 from RMB195.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009. Our net profit margin decreased to 13.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2010 from 18.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2009, mainly due to the RMB82.3 million in gains from the sale of one wind farm in March 2009, as well as the increase in our selling and distribution costs and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2010, but partially offset by our gross margin expansion.

CERTAIN BALANCE SHEET ITEMS

We had net current assets of RMB2,639.1 million, RMB3,557.0 million and RMB4,403.5 million as at December 31, 2007, 2008 and 2009, respectively.

Our current assets consisted mainly of inventories, trade and bills receivables, cash and cash equivalents and prepayments, deposits and other receivables. Our current liabilities consisted mainly of trade and bills payables, other payables and interest-bearing bank and other borrowings.

Our net current assets were significantly affected by our rapid growth during the Track Record Period. The increase in our net current assets position during the Track Record Period was primarily attributable to the expansion of our business and the resulting increase in inventories, trade and bills receivables, prepayments, deposits and other receivables and cash and cash equivalents as our sales volume increased, offset by increases in our trade and bills payables and other payables.

As of March 31, 2010, we had inventory balance in the amount of RMB4,006.0 million.

Our accounting policy is to make provision on inventories when obsolete inventories are identified. In addition, we also assess inventory provisions on major inventory items and makes specific provisions where necessary. We made provisions for inventories in the amount of RMB9.0 million and RMB1.4 million for the two years ended December 31, 2008 and 2009, respectively. We made no provision for inventories for the year ended December 31, 2007.

Our trade and bills receivables as at December 31, 2007, 2008 and 2009 amounted to RMB764.1 million, RMB2,619.0 million and RMB2,919.6 million, respectively, and comprised trade receivables, bills receivables and retention money receivables less impairment for doubtful debts. Our trade and bills receivables increased during the Track Record Period primarily as a result of the increase in our revenue from our WTG R&D, manufacturing and sales business segment. In particular, trade receivables increased by RMB1,919.9 million, or 309.9%, to RMB2,539.5 million as at December 31, 2008 from RMB619.6 million as at December 31, 2007 primarily due to the seasonality we experienced in 2008 where the majority of our revenue for the year ended December 31, 2008 was recognized during the last three months and we did not collect payment on some of these sales until 2009. Retention money receivables reflect retention monies retained by our customers to secure our performance of obligations during the warranty period of our products. Retention money receivables is expected to grow at a slower pace as we have gradually changed our policy to providing our customers letters of guarantee against fulfilment of our warranty obligations. For trade and bills receivables in the amount of RMB2,919.6 million as of December 31, 2009, only an amount of RMB534.7 million was settled in the first quarter of 2010, since payment milestones under

part of our sales contracts have not been reached. As of March 31, 2010, we had trade and bills receivables of RMB2,912.8 million.

Our credit policy towards customers varies for each of our business segments, but for our core business of WTG sales, we generally grant contractual credit terms of around three months. We make provisions for impairment against trade and bills receivables to the extent amounts are considered to be uncollectible or unlikely to be collectible within a reasonable period of time, assessed by us on individual customer basis. This is primarily due to some customers facing temporary cash flow difficulties under certain circumstances, which affects their timely settlement of payment, despite many of them being subsidiaries of China’s large power producers. In addition, for certain outstanding trade and bills receivables still outstanding beyond the credit period granted that are not impaired after carrying out a separate impairment test, as a matter of prudence, we made provisions for impairment estimated based on the length of time exceeded. For the three years ended December 31, 2007, 2008 and 2009, our provisions for impairment amounted to RMB44.7 million, RMB148.8 million and RMB187.0 million, respectively, representing 5.8%, 5.7% and 6.4% of our trade and bills receivables after deducting provision for impairment. The provision for impairment increased during the Track Record Period, primarily due to the increased size of total trade and bills receivables and the slight increase in all aging levels of trade and bills receivables as at December 31, 2007, 2008 and 2009.

Our trade and bills receivables turnover days increased during the Track Record Period primarily due to the increase in sales volume of our 1.5 MW WTGs, a significant portion of which have longer periods between revenue recognition, which occurs upon product delivery, and the date of the last installment payment, which occurs upon completion of preliminary acceptance and inspection.

This has enabled us to sell to a superior customer base with many of our customers being subsidiaries of China’s large power producers. Further, the high quality of our products and lack of product defects ensures timely payment by our customers. Consequently, we were able to maintain a stable debtor turnover days for the year ended December 31, 2009 as compared to the previous year. Our Directors are of the view that we have made adequate provision on trade and bills receivables during the Track Record Period.

Our suppliers generally granted us an average credit period of three months. During the Track Record Period, the increase in our trade and bills payables turnover days was primarily due to the expansion of our business and the commencement of sales of our 1.5 MW WTGs. As we expanded the scale of our operations, our trade and bills payables increased due to the higher level of production and longer credit periods granted by our suppliers. Our trade and bills payables turnover days increased because certain suppliers granted us favorable credit period terms to allow us to fund our extended production cycle, which was lengthened given we commenced in-house manufacturing of certain components for our 1.5MW WTGs.

Our total bank and other borrowings amounted to RMB623.0 million, RMB1,331.7 million and RMB2,624.0 million, as at December 31, 2007, 2008 and 2009, respectively. As at April 30, 2010, being the latest practicable date for determining our indebtedness, we had utilized banking facilities of RMB7,480.1 million and unutilized banking facilities of RMB6,791.2 million.

Bank and other borrowings increased by RMB708.7 million, or 113.8%, from RMB623.0 million as at December 31, 2007 to RMB1,331.7 million as at December 31, 2008, primarily in connection with financing the construction of our wind farms, our acquisition of Vensys AG, phase two of the construction of our production base in Xinjiang and the construction of a factory that we subsequently rented to one of our suppliers, as well as the overall expansion of our business. Bank and other borrowings increased by RMB1,292.3 million, or 97.0%, from RMB1,331.7 million as at December 31, 2008 to RMB2,624.0 million as at December 31, 2009, primarily in connection with financing the construction of our wind farms as well as the overall expansion of our business.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Certain of our bank and other borrowings were secured by (i) mortgages over our property, plant and equipment and land use rights, and certain of our subsidiaries’ assets, (ii) pledges of electricity charge rights, future income and our bank deposits, or guaranteed by Independent Third Parties. Certain unsecured bank borrowings in the amount RMB20.0 million as at December 31, 2009 were guaranteed by China Water, a Shareholder of our Company. Such guarantees were released in March 2010.

In December 2009, we provided a guarantee for Beijing On-off Electric Equipment Company Limited (“ Beijing On-off ”), which is a Connected Person of our Group, in respect of its bank loans of RMB21.0 million. Such guarantee will be released in December 2012.

Except as described above, as at April 30, 2010, being the latest practicable date for determining our indebtedness, we did not have any outstanding loan capital issued or agreed to be issued, bank overdrafts, loans, debt securities, borrowings or other similar indebtedness, liabilities under acceptance (other than normal trade bills) or acceptance credits, debentures, mortgages, charges, finance leases, hire purchase commitments, guarantees or other material contingent liabilities.

A majority of our bank and other borrowings were denominated in RMB and the effective interest rates of our bank and other borrowings as at December 31, 2007, 2008 and 2009 were 6.4%, 7.2% and 5.2%, respectively. As of the Latest Practicable Date, we did not and have not breached any covenants in our loan agreements.

During the Track Record Period, no bank has withdrawn any of the banking facilities previously extended to us and have not demanded early repayment. Given our ability to access new bank borrowings and our strong credit profile, we believe we will not be subject to any risk of potential withdrawal of banking facilities, early repayment of outstanding loans or increase in amount of pledged deposits for secured bank borrowings. We also confirm that as of the Latest Practicable Date, we have not received any requests for early repayment of the principal and/or interests on any of our loan agreements.

As of December 31, 2007, 2008 and 2009, our gearing ratio[(1)] was (9.9)%, 46.9% and 42.1%, respectively. The gearing ratio of (9.9)% as of December 31, 2007 was primarily due to the receipt of proceeds from our A Share offering of RMB1,745 million, net of the issue expenses, by our Company in late 2007. The gearing ratio increased from (9.9)% as of December 31, 2007 to 46.9% as of December 31, 2008, primarily due to increases in our trade and bills payables, other payables and interest-bearing bank and other borrowings. Our gearing ratio decreased slightly from 46.9% as of December 31, 2008 to 42.1% as of December 31, 2009 primarily due to increases in our cash and cash equivalents and profit generated for the year ended December 31, 2009.

(1) Gearing ratio is net debt divided by the capital plus net debt. Net debt includes trade and bills payables, other payables, interest-bearing bank and other borrowings and other long-term liabilities, less cash and cash equivalents and pledged deposits. Capital includes the equity attributable to owners of the Company as stated in the consolidated statements of financial position.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

We had contingent liabilities not provided for in the Accountants’ Report in Appendix I to this prospectus in the amount of RMB65.5 million, RMB176.1 million and RMB176.5 million as at December 31, 2007, 2008 and 2009, respectively, in connection with letters of credit we issued relating to our purchases of components from foreign suppliers.

In addition, we had contingent liabilities in the amount of RMB971.6 million, RMB2,365.1 million and RMB3,645.7 million as at December 31, 2007, 2008 and 2009, mainly in connection with our provision of letters of guarantee issued by banks to our customers against our performance and fulfilment of contractual obligations, principally pertaining to product delivery, in the course of our sales activities. The issuing bank assumes the payment obligation on behalf of us as specified in the letter of guarantee, and subsequently recovers any paid amount, if any, from us. As such, the potential liability of the issuing bank is regarded as our contingent liability. Upon expiry of the letters of guarantee, the issuing banks are released from their payment obligations and correspondingly, there will be a decrease in our contingent liabilities.

Our Directors evaluated the current status of our sales orders, fulfillment of our sales orders for the previous year and incidence of payment pursuant to the letters of guarantee for each year during the Track Record Period, and estimated that as of the Latest Practicable Date, the likelihood of any payment arising from or in connection with the letters of guarantee which are still valid was relatively low. The fair value of the guarantees is not significant and therefore the Directors are of the view that no provision for financial guarantees should be made. Consequently, such contingent liabilities do not have a material impact on our financial results.

As at April 30, 2010, the contingent liabilities in connection with letters of credit and those in connection with our provision of letters of guarantee increased to RMB399.6 million and RMB4,257.4 million, respectively, as a result of increases in our purchases of raw materials and our sales during the four-month period ended April 30, 2010.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

We did not have any outstanding off-balance sheet guarantees, interest rate swap transactions, foreign currency and commodity forward contracts or other off-balance sheet arrangements. We do not engage in trading activities involving non-exchange traded contracts. In the course of our business operations, we do not enter into transactions involving, or otherwise form relationships with, unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships that are established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

With respect to related parties transactions as set out in Note 41 of Section II in the Accountants’ Report attached as Appendix I to this Prospectus, our Directors have confirmed that the transactions were conducted on normal commercial terms and entered into in the ordinary course of business.

MARKET RISKS

Interest rate risk

We have bank and other borrowings subject to both fixed and floating interest rates and thus are subject to interest rate risk. We regularly review and monitor the mix of our fixed and floating interest rate borrowings in order to manage our interest rate risk. Our interest-bearing bank loans and short term deposits are stated at amortized cost

– 185 –

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

and not revalued on a periodic basis. Floating rate interest income and expenses are credited or charged to our statement of comprehensive income as earned or incurred.

Foreign currency risk

We are exposed to foreign currency risk on purchases and bank loans that are denominated in a currency other than the respective functional currency of our entities. We had exposure to foreign currencies as at December 31, 2007, 2008 and 2009. We anticipate our foreign currency risk will continue to increase in connection with the overseas expansion of our business.

Credit risk

We have a credit policy in place and will perform credit evaluations on all customers requiring credit over a certain amount.

We establish an allowance for impairment that represents our estimate of losses to be incurred in respect of trade and other receivables. The main components of this allowance are a specific loss component that relates to individually significant exposures. The allowance account in respect of trade and other receivables is used to record impairment losses unless we are satisfied that no recovery of the amount owing is possible. At that point, the impaired financial asset is considered irrecoverable, and the amount charged to the allowance account is written off against the carrying amount of the impaired financial asset.

Our management evaluates the credit-worthiness of our existing and prospective customers and ensures that the customers have adequate financing for the projects as well as the source of financing. We believe our customers are creditworthy.

The maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by the carrying amount of each financial asset in the statements of financial position.

Cash and bank balances are placed with banks and financial institutions which are regulated.

Liquidity risk

Our liquidity risk is primarily dependent on our ability to maintain adequate cash inflows from operations to meet our debt obligations as they fall due and our ability to obtain external financing to meet our committed future capital expenditure. With regard to our future capital commitments and other financing requirements, we have already obtained banking facilities with several banks of up to RMB13,712.0 million as at December 31, 2009, of which an amount of approximately RMB6,986.0 million has been utilized.

PROPERTY INTERESTS AND PROPERTY VALUATION

Particulars of our property interests are set out in Appendix V to this prospectus. Jones Lang LaSalle Sallmanns Limited, an independent property valuer had valued our property interests as at March 31, 2010.

PROFIT FORECAST FOR THE YEAR ENDING DECEMBER 31, 2010

Barring unforeseen circumstances, and based on the bases set out in Appendix II to this prospectus, the Directors forecast that the consolidated profit attributable to equity holders of our Company for the year ending December 31, 2010 to be not less than RMB2,235 million.

On the basis of the above profit forecast and on the assumption that our Company had been listed since January 1, 2010 and a total of 2,635,294,000 shares were in issue during the entire year ending December 31, 2010, the unaudited pro forma forecast earnings per share will be RMB0.85, representing a forecast fully diluted price/ earnings multiple on a pro forma basis of approximately 22.1 times (assuming an Offer Price of HK$21.40 being the mid-point of our indicative Offer Price range).

DIVIDEND POLICY

After completion of the Global Offering, our Shareholders will be entitled to receive dividends declared by us. The proposal of payment and the amount of our dividends will be made at the discretion of the Board and will depend on our general business condition and strategies, cash flows, financial results and capital requirements, interests of the Shareholders, taxation conditions, statutory and regulatory restrictions and other factors that the Board deems relevant. Any dividend distribution shall also be subject to the approval of the Shareholders in the Shareholders’ meeting.

Under the PRC Company Law and the Articles of Association, we will pay dividends out of our after-tax profit only after we have made the following allocations:

  • k recovery of accumulated losses, if any;

  • k allocations to the statutory reserve fund equivalent to 10% of our Company and its subsidiaries after-tax profit; and

  • k allocations, if any, to a discretionary reserve fund approved by the shareholders in a shareholders’ meeting.

When the statutory reserve fund reaches and is maintained at or above 50% of our registered capital, no further allocations to this statutory fund will be required. Our profit distributable for the above-mentioned allocations and our dividend distribution shall be our after-tax profit as determined by PRC GAAP or IFRS,

whichever is lower. All of our Shareholders have equal rights to dividends and distributions in the form of stock or cash. For holders of our H Shares, cash dividend payments, if any, will be declared in Renminbi and paid in Hong Kong dollars. According to the Articles of Association, the cumulative profit distribution in cash by our Company for any last-three-most-recent-years period shall be not less than 30% of the average of the same three year’s annual distributable profits.

We distributed dividends in the form of shares and cash amounting to RMB500.0 million and RMB680.0 million during the two years ended December 31, 2007 and 2008, respectively. The Board of Directors on August 31, 2009 and the Shareholders in general meeting on September 25, 2009 approved a resolution that holders of our A Shares are entitled to our distributable profits accumulated prior to January 1, 2010, and holders of our H Shares and A Shares upon the completion of the Global Offering will be equally entitled to our distributable profits accumulated between January 1, 2010 and the Listing Date. On March 25, 2010, our Company’s 2009 annual general meeting approved the distribution of our Company’s consolidated actual distributable profits of RMB1,767.8 million[(1)] . As partial settlement of this distribution, on April 6, 2010, our Company issued 840 million A Shares and paid cash of RMB140.0 million to holders of our A Shares funded with cash from profits generated by our business. On May 26, 2010, our Board of Directors approved the distribution of RMB784.0 million in the form of a cash dividend paid out of our internal cash resources (and not out of our net proceeds from the Global Offering), subject to approval of our Shareholders in a general meeting to be held on June 12, 2010, the settlement date of which will be determined after the general meeting and is expected to be after the Listing. Our H Shareholders shall not be entitled to any portion of this cash dividend. Our PRC legal advisor has confirmed that the declaration and payment of the foregoing dividend distribution is legal and valid under applicable PRC laws and regulations and our Articles of Association. Our historical dividends may not be indicative of the amount of our future dividends.

The estimated net proceeds from the Global Offering are converted at the PBOC Rate from Hong Kong dollars into Renminbi at an exchange rate of HK$1.00 to RMB0.8772 prevailing on the Latest Practicable Date.

  • (3) On March 25, 2010, our Company’s 2009 annual general meeting approved the distribution our Company’s consolidated actual distributable profits of RMB1,767.8 million, which includes:

  • (i) cash dividend of RMB140.0 million declared for payment to our A Shareholders which was settled on April 6, 2010; and

  • (ii) cash dividend of RMB784.0 million approved by our Board of Directors, subject to approval of our Shareholders in a general meeting to be held on June 12, 2010, the settlement date of which will be determined after the general meeting and is expected to be after Listing.

Our Directors consider that the payment of cash dividends as set out in (i) and (ii) above will have an impact on the expected net tangible assets of our Group attributable to owners of our Company after the Listing.

In addition to the cash dividends above, pursuant to the resolution passed in our 2009 annual general meeting held on March 25, 2010, share dividends amounting to RMB840.0 million were allotted and issued to the Shareholders of our Company. Please see the subsection above entitled “— Dividend Policy” for further details. The Directors consider that the share dividends will not have any impact on the expected net tangible assets of our Group attributable to owners of our Company after the Listing. The unaudited pro forma adjusted consolidated net tangible assets attributable to owners of our Company has not taken into account the aforesaid cash and share dividends.

  • (4) The unaudited pro forma adjusted consolidated net tangible assets per Share are determined after the adjustments as described in note 2 above and on the basis that 2,635,294,000 shares (being the number of shares expected to be in issue immediately after completion of the Global Offering, without taking into account of any H Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of the Over-allotment Option) are issued and outstanding during the entire year ended December 31, 2009. If the Over-allotment Option is exercised in full, the adjusted net tangible assets per Share will increase.

  • (5) Details of the valuations of our Company’s properties as at March 31, 2010 are set out in “Appendix V — Property Valuation” to this prospectus. The revaluation surplus or deficit of properties included in buildings held for own use, assets under construction, land use rights and investment properties will not be incorporated in our Company’s financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2010. If such revaluation surplus is incorporated in our Company’s financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2010, the annual depreciation charges would increase by approximately RMB4.6 million.

  • (6) The translation of Renminbi into Hong Kong dollars has been made at the rate of RMB0.8772 to HK$1.00, the PBOC Rate prevailing on the Latest Practicable Date.

FUTURE PLANS AND USE OF PROCEEDS

FUTURE PLANS

Please see the section entitled “Business — Our Strategies” for a detailed description of our future plans.

USE OF PROCEEDS

Assuming an Offer Price of HK$21.40 per H share (which is the mid-point of the indicative Offer Price range set forth on the cover page of the prospectus), we estimate that we will receive net proceeds of approximately HK$8,078.6 million from the Global Offering after deducting the underwriting commissions and other estimated expenses, if the Over-allotment Option is not exercised. If the Over-allotment Option is exercised in full, we estimate that the additional net proceeds to us from the offering of these additional H Shares will be approximately HK$1,211.8 million, after deducting the underwriting commissions and other estimated expenses, assuming an Offer Price of HK$21.40 per H Share.

In line with our strategies, we intend to use our proceeds from the Global Offering for the purposes and in the amounts set out below:

  • k approximately 40.2% will be used for the construction of production bases and optimization of our business operations;

  • k approximately 14.6% will be used for the design and development of more advanced WTGs and certain related components;

  • k approximately 24.1% will be used for expansion into the international market, primarily the United States, Australia and Europe, and promotional activities as described in the section entitled “Business — Our Strategies — Expand into attractive international markets” in this prospectus;

  • k approximately 11.1% will be used for the repayment of bank loans, including, among others (i) two three-year floating term loans in the total amount of EUR16.4 million at an annual interest rate of 120 basis points (bps) above EURIBOR, and EUR20.0 million at an annual interest rate of 115 bps above EURIBOR for the initial 12 months, and subsequently at 115 bps above six-month EURIBOR, which will be due for repayment on March 15, 2011 and April 15, 2011, respectively, (ii) a one-year floating rate short-term bank facility of EUR19.0 million for our subsidiary Vensys AG’s working capital purposes at an annual interest rate of 120 bps above EURIBOR, which will be due on June 15, 2010; (iii) a 10-year term loan in the total amount of EUR3.5 million at an annual interest rate of 7% before June 30, 2013 and adjustable rate after July 1, 2013, which will be due for repayment on September 30, 2018; and

  • k approximately 10.0% will be used as our general working capital.

The allocation of the proceeds used for the above will be adjusted in the event that the Offer Price is fixed at a higher or lower level compared to the midpoint of the estimated Offer Price range. Assuming the Over-allotment Option is not exercised, if the Offer Price is fixed at HK$23.00 per H Share, being the high end of the stated Offer Price range, the net proceeds will be increased by approximately HK$604.0 million. In such circumstances, we presently intend to use such additional proceeds to increase the net proceeds applied to the same purposes above (other than for the repayment of bank loans and as general working capital) on a pro rata basis. If the Offer Price is fixed at HK$19.80 per H Share, being the low end of the stated Offer Price range, the net proceeds will be decreased by approximately HK$604.0 million. In such circumstances, we presently intend to reduce the net proceeds applied to our general working capital.

– 190 –

FUTURE PLANS AND USE OF PROCEEDS

In the event that the Over-allotment Option is exercised in full, the additional net proceeds of approximately HK$1,211.8 million (assuming the Offer Price is determined at the mid-point of the stated Offer Price range), approximately HK$1,302.4 million (assuming the Offer Price is determined at the high end of the stated Offer Price range) or approximately HK$1,121.2 million (assuming the Offer Price is determined at the low end of the stated Offer Price range) will be applied by our Company for the same purposes above (other than for the repayment of bank loans and as general working capital) on a pro rata basis.

To the extent that the net proceeds of the Global Offering are not immediately required for the above purposes, the Directors currently intend that such proceeds will be placed on short-term deposits with licensed banks or financial institutions in Hong Kong or the PRC.

Undertakings to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange pursuant to the Listing Rules

Pursuant to Rule 10.08 of the Listing Rules, we have undertaken to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange that no further Shares or securities convertible into our equity securities may be issued by us or form the subject of any agreement to such an issue by us within six months from the Listing Date (whether or not such issue of Shares or our securities will be completed within six months from the commencement of dealing), except in certain circumstances prescribed by Rule 10.08 of the Listing Rules.

Undertakings to the Hong Kong Underwriters

We have, pursuant to the Hong Kong Underwriting Agreement, undertaken to each of the Joint Bookrunners, the Joint Sponsors and the Hong Kong Underwriters that except pursuant to the Global Offering (including the Over-Allotment Option), at any time after the date of the Hong Kong Underwriting Agreement up to and including the date falling six months after the date on which dealings in the H Shares commence on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, we will not, without the Joint Bookrunners’ prior written consent (subject to the requirements of the Listing Rules):

  • (a) offer, pledge, charge, allot, issue, sell, contract to allot, issue or sell, any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant or agree to grant any option, right or warrant to purchase or subscribe for, lend or otherwise transfer or dispose of, either directly or indirectly, or repurchase, any of

UNDERWRITING

the share capital of our Company or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for or that represent the right to receive such share capital; or

  • (b) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the share capital of our Company; or

  • (c) enter into any transaction with the same economic effect as any transaction described in (a) or (b) above; or

  • (d) offer or agree or contract to, or publicly announce any intention to enter into, any such capital or securities, in cash or otherwise,

In the event of a disposal as described in (a) or (b) above of any H Shares or any interest therein or any of our securities after the date falling six months after the date on which dealings in the H Shares commence on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, we will take all reasonable steps to ensure that such an issue or disposal will not create a disorderly or false market for the H Shares.

Indemnity

We have agreed to indemnify the Joint Bookrunners, the Joint Sponsors and the Hong Kong Underwriters for certain losses which they may suffer, including, among other matters, losses arising from the performance of their obligations under the Hong Kong Underwriting Agreement.

Commission and Expenses

The Hong Kong Underwriters will receive an underwriting commission of 2.5% of the aggregate Offer Price payable for the Hong Kong Public Offer Shares initially offered under the Hong Kong Public Offering, out of which they will pay any sub-underwriting commission. For unsubscribed Hong Kong Public Offer Shares reallocated to the International Offering, we will pay an underwriting commission at the rate applicable to the International Offering and such commission will be paid to the Joint Bookrunners and the relevant International Underwriters (but not the Hong Kong Underwriters).

Hong Kong Underwriters’ interest in our Company

Save for its obligations under the Hong Kong Underwriting Agreement, none of the Hong Kong Underwriters has any shareholding interests in our Company or any other member of our Group or any right (whether legally enforceable or not) to subscribe for or to nominate persons to subscribe for securities in our Company or any member of our Group.

The International Offering

In connection with the International Offering, it is expected that we will enter into the International Underwriting Agreement with the Joint Bookrunners and the International Underwriters on or about June 12, 2010, shortly after the determination of the Offer Price. Under the International Underwriting Agreement, the International Underwriters would, subject to certain conditions, severally and not jointly, agree to procure subscribers to subscribe for, or failing which to subscribe for themselves, their respective applicable

– 196 –

UNDERWRITING

proportions of the International Offer Shares being offered pursuant to the International Offering which are not taken up under the International Offering.

Restrictions on the Offer Shares

The Hong Kong Public Offer Shares are offered solely on the basis of the information contained and representations made in this prospectus and the Application Forms, and on the terms and subject to the conditions set out herein and therein. No action has been taken to permit a public offering of the Offer Shares other than in Hong Kong, or the distribution of this prospectus in any jurisdiction other than Hong Kong. Accordingly, this prospectus may not be used for the purpose of, and does not constitute, an offer or invitation in any jurisdiction or in any circumstances in which such an offer or invitation is not authorized or to any person to whom it is unlawful to make such an offer or invitation. In particular, the Offer Shares have not been offered or sold, and will not be offered or sold, directly or indirectly, in the PRC.

Over-allotment and Stabilization

Stabilization is a practice used by underwriters in some markets to facilitate the distribution of securities. To stabilize, the underwriters may bid for, or purchase, the securities in the secondary market, during a specified period of time, to retard and, if possible, prevent, any decline in the market price of the securities below the offer price. In Hong Kong and certain other jurisdictions, the price at which stabilization is effected is not permitted to exceed the offer price.

In connection with the Global Offering, the Stabilizing Manager or any person or affiliates acting for them, on behalf of the Underwriters, may over-allocate or effect short sales or any other stabilizing transactions with a view to stabilizing or maintaining the market price of the H Shares at a level higher than that which might otherwise prevail in the open market. Short sales involve the sale by the Stabilizing Manager of a greater number of H Shares than the Underwriters are required to purchase in the Global Offering. “Covered” short sales are sales made in an amount not greater than the Over-allotment Option. The Stabilizing Manager may close out the covered short position by either exercising the Over-allotment Option to purchase additional H Shares or purchasing H Shares in the open market. In determining the source of the H Shares to close out the covered short position, the Stabilizing Manager will consider, among other things, the price of H Shares in the open market as compared to the price at which they may purchase additional H Shares pursuant to the Over-allotment Option. Stabilizing transactions consist of certain bids or purchases made for the purpose of preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of the H Shares while the Global Offering is in progress. Any market purchases of the H Shares may be effected on any stock exchange, including the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, any over-the-counter market or otherwise, provided that they are made in compliance with all applicable laws and regulatory requirements. However, there is no obligation on the Stabilizing Manager or any person acting for it to conduct any such stabilizing activity, which if commenced, will be done at the absolute discretion of the Stabilizing Manager and may be discontinued at any time. Any such stabilizing activity is required to be brought to an end within 30 days of the last day for the lodging of applications under the Hong Kong Public Offering. The number of the H Shares that may be over-allocated will not exceed the number of the H Shares that may be sold under the Over-allotment Option, namely, 59,294,000 H Shares, which is 15% of the number of Offer Shares initially available under the Global Offering, in the event that the whole or part of the Over-allotment Option is exercised.

In Hong Kong, stabilizing activities must be carried out in accordance with the Securities and Futures (Price Stabilizing) Rules. Stabilizing actions permitted pursuant to the Securities and Futures (Price Stabilizing) Rules include:

(a) over-allocation for the purpose of preventing or minimizing any reduction in the market price;

– 197 –

UNDERWRITING

(b) selling or agreeing to sell the H Shares so as to establish a short position in them for the purpose of
preventing or minimizing any deduction in the market price;
(c) subscribing, or agreeing to subscribe, for the H Shares pursuant to the Over-allotment Option in order to
close out any position established under (a) or (b) above;
(d) purchasing, or agreeing to purchase, the H Shares for the sole purpose of preventing or minimizing any
reduction in the market price;
(e) selling the H Shares to liquidate a long position held as a result of those purchases; and
(f) offering or attempting to do anything described in (b), (c), (d) and (e) above.

Stabilizing actions by the Stabilizing Manager, or any person acting for it, will be entered into in accordance with the laws, rules and regulations in place in Hong Kong on stabilization.

As a result of effecting transactions to stabilize or maintain the market price of the H Shares, the Stabilizing Manager, or any person acting for it, may maintain a long position in the H Shares. The size of the long position, and the period for which the Stabilizing Manager, or any person acting for it, will maintain the long position is at the discretion of the Stabilizing Manager and is uncertain. In the event that the Stabilizing Manager liquidates this long position by making sales in the open market, this may lead to a decline in the market price of the H Shares.

Stabilizing action by the Stabilizing Manager, or any person acting for it, is not permitted to support the price of the H Shares for longer than the stabilizing period, which begins on the day on which trading of the H Shares commences on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and ends on the thirtieth day after the last day for the lodging of applications under the Hong Kong Public Offering. The stabilizing period is expected to end on July 10, 2010. As a result, demand for the H Shares, and their market price, may fall after the end of the stabilizing period. These activities by the Stabilizing Manager may stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the market price of the H Shares. As a result, the price of the H Shares may be higher than the price that otherwise may exist in the open market. Any stabilizing action taken by the Stabilizing Manager, or any person acting for it, may not necessarily result in the market share of the H Shares staying at or above the Offer Price either during or after the stabilizing period. Bids for or market purchases of the H Shares by the Stabilizing Manager, or any person acting for it, may be made at a price at or below the Offer Price and therefore at or below the price paid for the H Shares by purchasers. A public announcement in compliance with the Securities and Futures (Price Stabilizing) Rules will be made within seven days of the expiration of the stabilizing period.

INDEPENDENCE OF THE JOINT SPONSORS

Each of China International Capital Corporation Hong Kong Securities Limited, Citigroup Global Markets Asia Limited and Hai Tong Capital (HK) Limited satisfies the independence criteria applicable to sponsors set out in Rule 3A.07 of the Listing Rules.

One of the Joint Sponsors, Hai Tong Capital (HK) Limited, is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Hai Tong Securities Co., Ltd. (“ Hai Tong Securities ”).

STRUCTURE OF THE GLOBAL OFFERING

THE GLOBAL OFFERING

This prospectus is published in connection with the Hong Kong Public Offering as part of the Global Offering. The Global Offering consists of (subject to adjustment and the Over-allotment Option):

  • (a) the Hong Kong Public Offering of 39,529,600 H Shares (subject to adjustment as mentioned below) in Hong Kong as described below under “— The Hong Kong Public Offering”); and

  • (b) the International Offering of an aggregate of 355,764,400 H Shares (subject to adjustment as mentioned below) outside the United States (including to professional and institutional investors within Hong Kong) in offshore transactions in reliance on Regulation S, and in the United States to QIBs in reliance on Rule 144A.

Investors may apply for the H Shares under the Hong Kong Public Offering or indicate an interest, if qualified to do so, for the H Shares under the International Offering, but may not do both.

Our Company has obtained the requisite PRC governmental approvals, including the approval of the CSRC, in respect of the Global Offering.

The number of H Shares to be offered under the Hong Kong Public Offering and the International Offering respectively may be subject to reallocation as described in the subsection entitled “— The Hong Kong Public Offering — Reallocation” below.

THE HONG KONG PUBLIC OFFERING

Number of H Shares initially offered

We are initially offering 39,529,600 H Shares at the Offer Price, representing 10.0% of the H Shares initially available under the Global Offering, for subscription by the public in Hong Kong. Subject to the reallocation of Offer Shares between the International Offering and the Hong Kong Public Offering, the number of H Shares initially offered under the Hong Kong Public Offering will represent approximately 1.5% of our Company’s enlarged issued share capital immediately after completion of the Global Offering, assuming that the Overallotment Option is not exercised.

The Hong Kong Public Offering is open to members of the public in Hong Kong as well as to institutional and professional investors. Professional investors generally include brokers, dealers, companies (including fund managers) whose ordinary business involves dealing in shares and other securities and corporate entities which regularly invest in shares and other securities.

Completion of the Hong Kong Public Offering is subject to the conditions as set out in the subsection below entitled “Conditions of the Global Offering”.

Allocation

Allocation of H Shares to investors under the Hong Kong Public Offering will be based solely on the level of valid applications received under the Hong Kong Public Offering. The basis of allocation may vary, depending on the number of Hong Kong Public Offer Shares validly applied for by applicants. The allocation of Hong Kong Public Offer Shares could, where appropriate, consist of balloting, which would mean that some applicants may receive a higher allocation than others who have applied for the same number of Hong Kong Public Offer Shares, and those applicants who are not successful in the ballot may not receive any Hong Kong Public Offer Shares.

– 199 –

STRUCTURE OF THE GLOBAL OFFERING

The total number of Hong Kong Public Offer Shares available under the Hong Kong Public Offering will initially be divided into two pools for allocation purposes as follows:

  • k Pool A: The Offer Shares in Pool Awill be allocated on an equitable basis to applicants who have applied for Offer Shares with a total subscription amount (excluding brokerage, SFC transaction levy and the Hong Kong Stock Exchange trading fee) of HK$5.0 million or less; and

  • k Pool B: The Offer Shares in Pool B will be allocated on an equitable basis to applicants who have applied for Offer Shares with a total subscription amount (excluding brokerage, SFC transaction levy and the Hong Kong Stock Exchange trading fee) of more than HK$5.0 million and up to the value of Pool B.

Applicants should be aware that applications in Pool A and Pool B are likely to receive different allocation ratios. If Hong Kong Public Offer Shares in one pool (but not both pools) are under-subscribed, the surplus Hong Kong Public Offer Shares will be transferred to the other pool to satisfy demand in that other pool and be allocated accordingly.

Applicants can only receive an allocation of Hong Kong Public Offer Shares from either Pool A or Pool B but not from both pools. Multiple or suspected multiple applications and any application for more than 19,764,800 Offer Shares will be rejected.

Reallocation

Paragraph 4.2 of the Practice Note 18 of the Listing Rules requires a clawback mechanism to be put in place, which would have the effect of increasing the number of Hong Kong Public Offer Shares to certain percentages of the total number of Offer Shares offered in the Global Offering if certain prescribed total demand levels are reached. An application has been made for, and the Hong Kong Stock Exchange has granted, a waiver from strict compliance with Paragraph 4.2 of Practice Note 18 of the Listing Rules such that the allocation of the Offer Shares between the Hong Kong Public Offering and the International Offering is subject to the following adjustments:

  • k If the number of the Offer Shares validly applied for under the Hong Kong Public Offering represents ten times or more but less than 40 times the number of the Offer Shares initially available for subscription under the Hong Kong Public Offering, then Offer Shares will be reallocated to the Hong Kong Public Offering from the International Offering, so that the total number of the Offer Shares available under the Hong Kong Public Offering will be 59,294,400 Offer Shares, representing 15% of the Offer Shares initially available under the Global Offering;

  • k If the number of the Offer Shares validly applied for under the Hong Kong Public Offering represents 40 times or more but less than 50 times the number of the Offer Shares initially available for subscription under the Hong Kong Public Offering, then the number of Offer Shares to be reallocated to the Hong Kong Public Offering from the International Offering will be increased so that the total number of the Offer Shares available under the Hong Kong Public Offering will be 79,058,800 Offer Shares, representing 20% of the Offer Shares initially available under the Global Offering; and

  • k If the number of the Offer Shares validly applied for under the Hong Kong Public Offering represents 50 times or more the number of the Offer Shares initially available for subscription under the Hong Kong Public Offering, then the number of Offer Shares to be reallocated to the Hong Kong Public Offering from the International Offering will be increased, so that the total number of the Offer Shares available under the Hong Kong Public Offering will be 118,588,400 Offer Shares, representing 30% of the Offer Shares initially available under the Global Offering.

– 200 –

STRUCTURE OF THE GLOBAL OFFERING

The Offer Shares to be offered in the Hong Kong Public Offering and the International Offering may, in certain circumstances, be reallocated as between these offerings at the discretion of the Joint Bookrunners. Subject to the foregoing paragraph, the Joint Bookrunners may in their discretion reallocate H Shares from the International Offering to the Hong Kong Public Offering to satisfy valid applications under the Hong Kong Public Offering. In addition, if the Hong Kong Public Offering is not fully subscribed, the Joint Bookrunners will have the discretion (but shall not be under any obligation) to reallocate to the International Offering all or any unsubscribed Hong Kong Public Offer Shares in such amounts as they deem appropriate.

References in this prospectus to applications, Application Forms, application monies or to the procedure for application relate solely to the Hong Kong Public Offering.

THE INTERNATIONAL OFFERING

Number of H Shares initially offered

Subject to the reallocation as described above, the number of H Shares to be initially offered under the International Offering will be 355,764,400 H Shares, representing 90.0% of the Offer Shares under the Global Offering. Subject to the reallocation of the Offer Shares between the International Offering and the Hong Kong Public Offering, the number of H Shares initially offered under the International Offering will represent 13.5% of our total issued share capital immediately after completion of the Global Offering, assuming that the Overallotment Option is not exercised.

Allocation

Pursuant to the International Offering, the International Offer Shares will be conditionally placed on behalf of our Company by the International Underwriters or through selling agents appointed by them. International Offer Shares will be selectively placed with certain professional and institutional investors and other investors anticipated to have a sizeable demand for such Offer Shares in Hong Kong, Europe and other jurisdictions outside the United States (other than the PRC) in offshore transactions in reliance on Regulation S and in the United States to QIBs as defined in Rule 144A. The International Offering is subject to the Hong Kong Public Offering being unconditional.

Allocation of Offer Shares pursuant to the International Offering will be effected in accordance with the “book-building” process described in the paragraph headed “Pricing and Allocation” below and based on a number of factors, including the level and timing of demand, total size of the relevant investor’s invested assets or equity assets in the relevant sector and whether or not it is expected that the relevant investor is likely to buy further, and/or hold or sell, H Shares after the listing of the H Shares on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. Such allocation is intended to result in a distribution of H Shares on a basis which would lead to the establishment of a solid shareholder base which would be to our benefit and to that of the shareholders as a whole.

The Joint Bookrunners (on behalf of the Underwriters) may require any investor who has been offered Offer Shares under the International Offering, and who has made an application under the Hong Kong Public Offering, to provide sufficient information to the Joint Bookrunners so as to allow them to identify the relevant applications under the Hong Kong Public Offering and to ensure that they are excluded from any application of Offer Shares under the Hong Kong Public Offering.

STRUCTURE OF THE GLOBAL OFFERING

PRICING AND ALLOCATION

Determining the Offer Price

The International Underwriters are soliciting from prospective investors indications of interest in acquiring the H Shares in the International Offering. Prospective investors will be required to specify the number of H Shares under the International Offering they would be prepared to acquire either at different prices or at a particular price. This process, known as “book-building”, is expected to continue up to, and to cease on or around, the last day for lodging applications under the Hong Kong Public Offering.

Pricing for the Offer Shares for the purpose of the various offerings under the Global Offering will be fixed on the Price Determination Date, which is expected to be on or around June 12, 2010 and in any event on or before June 20, 2010, by agreement between the Joint Bookrunners, on behalf of the Underwriters, and our Company and the number of Offer Shares to be allocated under the various offerings will be determined shortly thereafter.

Offer price range

The Offer Price will be not more than HK$23.00 per H Share and is expected to be not less than HK$19.80 per H Share, unless otherwise announced not later than the morning of the last day for lodging applications under the Hong Kong Public Offering, as further explained below. Prospective investors should be aware that the Offer Price to be determined on the Price Determination Date may be, but is not expected to be, lower than the indicative Offer Price range stated in this prospectus.

Price payable on application

Applicants for Hong Kong Public Offer Shares under the Hong Kong Public Offering are required to pay, on application, the maximum Offer Price of HK$23.00 for each Hong Kong Public Offer Share (plus 1% brokerage, 0.004% SFC transaction levy, and 0.005% Hong Kong Stock Exchange trading fee). If the Offer Price is less than HK$23.00, appropriate refund payments (including the brokerage, SFC transaction levy and the Hong Kong Stock Exchange trading fee attributable to the surplus application monies, without any interest) will be made to successful applications.

If, for any reason, our Company and the Joint Bookrunners (on behalf of the Underwriters) are unable to reach agreement on the Offer Price on or before June 20, 2010, the Global Offering will not proceed and will lapse.

Reduction in indicative offer price range and/or number of Offer Shares

The Joint Bookrunners, on behalf of the Underwriters, may where considered appropriate, based on the level of interest expressed by prospective institutional, professional and other investors during the book-building process, reduce the indicative Offer Price range and/or the number of Offer Shares below those stated in this prospectus at any time on or prior to the morning of the last day for lodging applications under the Hong Kong Public Offering. In such a case, we will, as soon as practicable following the decision to make such reduction, and in any event not later than the morning of the last day for lodging applications under the Hong Kong Public Offering, cause to be published in the South China Morning Post (in English) and the Hong Kong Economic Times (in Chinese) and posted on the website of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange (www.hkexnews.hk) and on the website of our Company (www.goldwind.cn) notices of the reduction. Upon issue of such a notice, the revised indicative Offer Price range and/or number of Offer Shares will be final and conclusive and the Offer Price, if agreed upon by the Joint Bookrunners, on behalf of the Underwriters, and our Company, will be fixed within such revised range. Such notice will also include confirmation or revision, as appropriate, of the working capital statement and the Global Offering

– 202 –

STRUCTURE OF THE GLOBAL OFFERING

statistics as currently set out in this prospectus, and any other financial information which may change materially as a result of such reduction.

Before submitting applications for Hong Kong Public Offer Shares, applicants should have regard to the possibility that any announcement of a reduction in the indicative offer price range and/or number of Offer Shares may not be made until the day which is the last day for lodging applications under the Hong Kong Public Offering. Applicants under the Hong Kong Public Offering should note that in no circumstances can applications be withdrawn once submitted, even if the indicative Offer Price range and/or number of Offer Shares is so reduced. In the absence of any such announcement so published, the number of Offer Shares will not be reduced and/or the Offer Price, if agreed upon by the Joint Bookrunners, on behalf of the Underwriters, and our Company, will under no circumstances be set outside the Offer Price range as stated in this prospectus.

In the event of a reduction in the number of Offer Shares, the Joint Bookrunners may, at their discretion, reallocate the number of Offer Shares to be offered in the Hong Kong Public Offering and the International Offering, provided that the number of Offer Shares comprised in the Hong Kong Public Offering shall not be less than 10% of the total number of Offer Shares available under the Global Offering (assuming the Over-allotment Option is not exercised). The Offer Shares to be offered in the Hong Kong Public Offering and the Offer Shares to be offered in the International Offering may, in certain circumstances, be reallocated between these offerings at the discretion of the Joint Bookrunners.

Announcement of Offer Price and basis of allocations

The final Offer Price, the level of indications of interest in the Global Offering, the results of applications and the basis of allotment of the Hong Kong Public Offer Shares are expected to be announced on June 21, 2010 in the South China Morning Post (in English) and the Hong Kong Economic Times (in Chinese) and to be posted on the website of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange (www.hkexnews.hk) and on the website of our Company (www.goldwind.cn).

Net proceeds

The net proceeds from the Global Offering accruing to us (after deduction of underwriting fees and estimated expenses payable by us in relation to the Global Offering, assuming that the Over-allotment Option is not exercised), are estimated to be approximately HK$8,078.6 million, assuming an Offer price of HK$21.40 per H Share, being the mid-point of the indicative Offer Price range of HK$19.80 to HK$23.00 (or if the Over-allotment Option is exercised in full, approximately HK$8,595.8 million, assuming an Offer Price of HK$19.80 per H Share, or approximately HK$9,985.0 million, assuming an Offer Price of HK$23.00 per H Share).

UNDERWRITING

The Hong Kong Public Offering is fully underwritten by the Hong Kong Underwriters under the terms of the Hong Kong Underwriting Agreement and is subject to our Company and the Joint Bookrunners, on behalf of the Underwriters, agreeing on the Offer Price.

We expect to enter into the International Underwriting Agreement relating to the International Offering on the Price Determination Date.

These underwriting arrangements, and the Underwriting Agreements, are summarized in the section entitled “Underwriting” in this prospectus.

Dear Sirs,

We set out below our report on the financial information regarding Xinjiang Goldwind Science & Technology Co., Ltd. (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries (hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Group”) for each of the three years ended 31 December 2007, 2008 and 2009 (the “Relevant Years”) (the “Financial Information”) for inclusion in the prospectus of the Company dated 7 June 2010 (the “Prospectus”) in connection with the listing of the shares of the Company on the Main Board of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited.

The Group is principally engaged in the development, manufacture and sale of wind turbine generators and wind power components; development of wind farms; and the provision of wind power related consultancy, wind farm construction, maintenance and transportation services.

The Company was established as a joint stock company with limited liability on 26 March 2001 in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”, or Mainland China, which excludes for the purpose of this report, the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the PRC or Hong Kong, the Macau Special Administrative Region of the PRC or Macau, and Taiwan). In December 2007, the Company conducted an initial public offering of its domestic common shares (“A shares”) in the Mainland China. The Company’s A shares have been listed on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange since 26 December 2007.

The Group, its jointly-controlled entities and associates have adopted 31 December as their financial year end date for statutory reporting purposes. The financial statements of these companies were prepared in accordance with the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises issued by the Ministry of Finance (the “MOF”) of the PRC in 2006, and other related regulations issued by the MOF, or other accounting principles applicable to these companies in their respective jurisdictions. The statutory consolidated financial statements of the Group for the year ended 31 December 2007, 2008 and 2009 were audited by Wuzhou Songde Certified Public Accountants (“Wuzhou Songde”, ), a certified public accounting firm registered in the PRC. Particulars of the Company and its subsidiaries, jointly-controlled entities and associates are set out in note 1 of Section II below.

For the purpose of this report, the directors of the Company (the “Directors”) have prepared the consolidated financial statements of the Group for the Relevant Years and the statements of financial position of the Company as at 31 December 2007, 2008 and 2009 in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRSs”)

– I-1 –

APPENDIX I

ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT

promulgated by the International Accounting Standards Board (the “IASB”) (the “IFRS Financial Statements”). We have carried out an independent audit on the IFRS Financial Statements in accordance with International Standards on Auditing issued by the International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board (the “IAASB”).

The Financial Information set out in this report, including the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, consolidated statements of changes in equity and consolidated statements of cash flows of the Group for the Relevant Years, the consolidated statements of financial position of the Group and the statements of financial position of the Company as at 31 December 2007, 2008 and 2009, together with the notes thereto, has been prepared from the IFRS Financial Statements.

We have carried out an independent audit on the Financial Information in accordance with International Standards on Auditing issued by the IAASB and carried out such additional procedures as we considered necessary in accordance with Auditing Guideline 3.340 “Prospectuses and the Reporting Accountant” issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants. No adjustments were considered necessary to adjust the IFRS Financial Statements to conform to the accounting policies referred to in note 3.2 of Section II of this report for the Relevant Years.

The IFRS Financial Statements are the responsibility of the Directors who approved their issuance. The Directors are also responsible for the contents of the Prospectus, including the preparation and the true and fair presentation of the Financial Information in accordance with IFRSs. In preparing the Financial Information, it is fundamental that appropriate accounting policies are selected and applied consistently, and that judgements and estimates made are prudent and reasonable. It is our responsibility to form an independent opinion based on our audit of the Financial Information for the Relevant Years and to report our opinion thereon.

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Financial Information based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance as to whether the Financial Information is free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the Financial Information. The procedures selected depend on the auditors’ judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the Financial Information, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditors consider internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and true and fair presentation of the Financial Information in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the Directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the Financial Information.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

In our opinion, the Financial Information gives, for the purpose of this report, a true and fair view of the consolidated results and cash flows of the Group for each of the Relevant Years and the state of affairs of the Company and of the Group as at 31 December 2007, 2008 and 2009 in accordance with IFRSs.

  • (ix) These subsidiaries were incorporated by the Group during the year ended 31 December 2009. No statutory accounts had been prepared for these subsidiaries for the year ended 31 December 2009 as they were dormant companies as of 31 December 2009.

  • (x) These subsidiaries were acquired by the Group during the year ended 31 December 2009, and the statutory accounts of these subsidiaries for the year ended 31 December 2009 were audited by Wuzhou Songde.

  • (xi) TianRun Uilk was acquired by the Group during the year ended 31 December 2009. Uilk Wind Farm LLC is a subsidiary of TianRun Uilk. The statutory accounts of Uilk Wind Farm LLC for the year ended 31 December 2009 were audited by Eide Bailly LLP, a certified public accounting firm registered in the United States of America. No statutory accounts had been prepared for TianRun Uilk and TianRun USA, Inc. for the year ended 31 December 2009 as a statutory audit was not required for these subsidiaries in the United States of America.

  • (xiii) During the Relevant Years, the Company directly or indirectly owns more than half of equity interests in these companies but the voting power attached to the equity interests does not allow the Company to have the power to govern the financial and operating activities of these companies according to the articles of association of these companies. According to the articles of association, the Company or one of the Company’s subsidiaries (the “Subsidiary”), as the case may be, is the biggest equity owner of these companies and no other equity owners individually or in the aggregate had the power to control these companies. The Company or the Subsidiary, as the case may be, which holds the shareholding interests in these companies, had signed the voting right agreements with the other equity owners of these companies during the Relevant Years, whereby such equity owners have agreed to vote unanimously with the Company or the Subsidiary in the financial and operating activities of these companies. Such equity owners have also confirmed that the unanimous voting with the Company or the Subsidiary existed since these entities were incorporated or acquired by the Company or the Subsidiary. The PRC lawyer of the Company confirmed that the voting right agreements are valid under the relevant PRC laws. Considering the above mentioned factors, the Directors are of the opinion that the Company or the Subsidiary, as the case may be, controlled these entities during the period from the date of their establishment or acquisition by the Group to 31 December 2009 or to the date that these companies were ceased to be controlled by the Company or the Subsidiary. Therefore the financial statements of these companies are consolidated by the Company during the period from the date of their establishment or acquisition by the Group to 31 December 2009 or to the date that these companies were ceased to be controlled by the Company or the Subsidiary.

3.1 Issued But Not Yet Effective IFRSs — continued

amendments to IFRS 5, IFRS 8, IAS 1, IAS 7, IAS 17, IAS 36 and IAS 39 are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2010 although there are separate transitional provisions for each standard or interpretation.

IFRS 1 (Revised) was issued with an aim to improve the structure of the standard. The revised version of the standard does not make any changes to the substance of accounting by first-time adopters.

The IFRS 1 Amendments provide relief from the full retrospective application of IFRSs for the measurement of oil and gas assets and leases. As a result of extending the options for determining deemed cost to oil and gas assets, the existing exemption relating to decommissioning liabilities has also been revised. The amendments will not have any financial impact on the Group.

The IFRS 2 Amendments provide guidance on how to account for cash-settled share-based payment transactions in the separate financial statements of the entity receiving the goods and services when the entity has no obligation to settle the share-based payment transactions. The amendments also incorporate guidance that was previously included in IFRIC 8 Scope of IFRS 2 and IFRIC 11 IFRS 2 — Group and Treasury Share Transactions . The Group expects to adopt the IFRS 2 Amendments from 1 January 2010. The amendments will not have any financial impact on the Group’s accounting for share-based payments.

IFRS 3 (Revised) introduces a number of changes in the accounting for business combinations that will impact the amount of goodwill recognised, the reported results in the period that an acquisition occurs, and future reported results.

IAS 27 (Revised) requires that a change in the ownership interest of a subsidiary without loss of control is accounted for as an equity transaction. Therefore, such a change will have no impact on goodwill, nor will it give rise to a gain or loss. Furthermore, the revised standard changes the accounting for losses incurred by the subsidiary as well as the loss of control of a subsidiary. Other consequential amendments were made to IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows , IAS 12 Income Taxes , IAS 21 The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates , IAS 28 Investments in Associates and IAS 31 Interests in Joint Ventures .

The Group expects to adopt IFRS 3 (Revised) and IAS 27 (Revised) from 1 January 2010. The changes introduced by these revised standards must be applied prospectively and will affect the accounting of future acquisitions, loss of control and transactions with minority interests.

IFRS 9 issued in November 2009 is the first part of phase 1 of a comprehensive project to entirely replace IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement . This phase focuses on the classification and measurement of financial assets. Instead of classifying financial assets into four categories, an entity shall classify financial assets as subsequently measured at either amortised cost or fair value, on the basis of both the entity’s business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset. This aims to improve and simplify the approach for the classification and measurement of financial assets compared with the requirements of IAS 39.

IAS 39 is aimed to be replaced by IFRS 9 in its entirety by the end of 2010. The Group expects to adopt IFRS 9 from 1 January 2013.

IAS 24 (Revised) clarifies and simplifies the definition of related parties. It also provides for a partial exemption of related party disclosure to government-related entities for transactions with the same government or entities that are controlled, jointly controlled or significantly influenced by the same government. The Group

expects to adopt IAS 24 (Revised) from 1 January 2011 and the comparative related party disclosures will be amended accordingly. While the adoption of the revised standard will result in changes in the accounting policy, the revised standard is unlikely to have any impact on the related party disclosures as the Group currently does not have any significant transactions with government related entities.

The IAS 32 Amendment revises the definition of financial liabilities such that rights, options or warrants issued to acquire a fixed number of the entity’s own equity instruments for a fixed amount of any currency are equity instruments, provided that the entity offers the rights, options or warrants pro rata to all of its existing owners of the same class of its own non-derivative equity instruments. The Group expects to adopt the IAS 32 Amendments from 1 January 2011. As the Group currently has no such rights, options or warrants in issue, the amendment is unlikely to have any financial impact on the Group.

The IAS 39 Amendment addresses the designation of a one-sided risk in a hedged item, and the designation of inflation as a hedged risk or portion in particular situations. It clarifies that an entity is permitted to designate a portion of the fair value changes or cash flow variability of financial instrument as a hedged item. The Group expects to adopt the IAS 39 Amendment from 1 January 2010. As the Group has not entered into any such hedges, the amendment is unlikely to have any financial impact on the Group.

The IFRIC 14 Amendment removes an unintended consequence arising from the treatment of prepayments of future contributions in certain circumstances when there is a minimum funding requirement. The amendments require an entity to treat the benefit of an early payment as a pension asset. The Group expects to adopt the IFRIC 14 Amendments from 1 January 2011. As the Group has no defined benefit scheme, the amendments will not have any financial impact on the Group.

IFRIC 17 standardises practice in the accounting for non-reciprocal distributions of non-cash assets to owners. The Group expects to apply the interpretation from 1 January 2010 prospectively. The interpretation clarifies that (i) a dividend payable should be recognised when the dividend is appropriately authorised and is no longer at the discretion of the entity; (ii) an entity should measure the dividend payable at the fair value of the net assets to be distributed; and (iii) an entity should recognise the difference between the dividend paid and the carrying amount of the net assets distributed in profit or loss. Other consequential amendments were made to IAS 10 Events after the Reporting Period and IFRS 5 Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations . While the adoption of the interpretation may result in changes in certain accounting policies, the interpretation is unlikely to have any material financial impact on the Group.

IFRIC 19 addresses the accounting by an entity when the terms of a financial liability are renegotiated and result in the entity issuing equity instruments to a creditor of the entity to extinguish all or part of the financial liability. The Group expects to adopt the interpretation from 1 January 2011. The interpretation clarifies that equity instruments issued to a creditor to extinguish a financial liability are consideration paid in accordance with IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement and the difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability extinguished, and the consideration paid, shall be recognised in profit or loss. The consideration paid should be measured based on the fair value of the equity instrument issued or, if the fair value of the equity instrument cannot be reliably measured, the fair value of the financial liability extinguished. As the Group has not undertaken such transactions, the interpretation is unlikely to have any material financial impact on the Group.

The amendments to IFRS 5 clarify that all assets and liabilities of a subsidiary shall be classified as held for sale if an entity has a sale plan involving loss of control of the subsidiary, regardless of whether the entity will retain a minority interest. The Group expects to adopt the amendments from 1 January 2010. The changes must be applied prospectively and will affect future sale transactions or plans involving loss of control of a subsidiary.

Improvements to IFRSs 2009 issued in May 2009 sets out amendments to a number of IFRSs. Except for the amendment to IAS 18, the Group expects to adopt the amendments from 1 January 2010. There are separate transitional provisions for each standard. While the adoption of some of the amendments may result in changes in accounting policies, none of these amendments are expected to have a significant financial impact on the Group.

Improvements to IFRSs 2010 issued in May 2010 sets out a collection of amendments to seven IFRSs — as its latest set of annual improvements. The Group expects to adopt the amendments from 1 January 2011. There are separate transitional provisions for each standard. The Group is in the process of making an assessment of the impact of these amendments.

3.2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries for the Relevant Years. The results of subsidiaries are consolidated from the date of incorporation or the date of acquisition, being the date on which the Group obtains control, and continue to be consolidated until the date that such control ceases. All income, expenses and unrealised gains and losses resulting from intercompany transactions and intercompany balances within the Group are eliminated on consolidation in full. Upon disposal of subsidiaries, including wind farm project companies, gains on disposal of subsidiaries are recorded in other income and gains in the statements of comprehensive income.

The acquisition of subsidiaries during the Relevant Years has been accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. This method involves allocating the cost of the business combinations to the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired, and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition. The cost of the acquisition is measured at the aggregate of the fair value of the assets given, equity instruments issued and liabilities incurred or assumed at the date of exchange, plus costs directly attributable to the acquisition.

Minority interests represent the interests of outside shareholders not held by the Group in the results and net assets of the Company’s subsidiaries.

Subsidiaries

A subsidiary is an entity whose financial and operating policies the Company controls, directly or indirectly, so as to obtain benefits from its activities.

The results of subsidiaries are included in the Company’s profit or loss to the extent of dividends received and receivable. The Company’s investments in subsidiaries are stated at cost less any impairment losses.

Joint ventures

A joint venture is an entity set up by contractual arrangement, whereby the Group and other parties undertake an economic activity. The joint venture operates as a separate entity in which the Group and the other parties have an interest.

The joint venture agreement between the ventures stipulates the capital contributions of the joint venture parties, the duration of the joint venture and the basis on which the assets are to be realised upon its dissolution. The profits and losses from the joint venture’s operations and any distributions of surplus assets are shared by the ventures, either in proportion to their respective capital contributions, or in accordance with the terms of the joint venture agreement.

A joint venture is treated as:

  • (a) a subsidiary, if the Group/Company has unilateral control, directly or indirectly, over the joint venture;

  • (b) a jointly-controlled entity, if the Group/Company does not have unilateral control, but has joint control, directly or indirectly, over the joint venture;

  • (c) an associate, if the Group/Company does not have unilateral or joint control, but holds, directly or indirectly, generally not less than 20% of the joint venture’s registered capital and is in a position to exercise significant influence over the joint venture; or

  • (d) an equity investment accounted for in accordance with IAS 39, if the Group/Company holds, directly or indirectly, less than 20% of the joint venture’s registered capital and has neither joint control of, nor is in a position to exercise significant influence over, the joint venture.

Jointly-controlled entities

A jointly-controlled entity is a joint venture that is subject to joint control, resulting in none of the participating parties having unilateral control over the economic activity of the jointly-controlled entity.

The Group’s interests in jointly-controlled entities are stated in the consolidated statement of financial position at the Group’s share of net assets under the equity method of accounting, less any impairment losses. The Group’s share of the post-acquisition results and reserves of jointly-controlled entities is included in the profit or loss and consolidated reserves, respectively. Unrealised gains and losses resulting from transactions between the Group and its jointly-controlled entities are eliminated to the extent of the Group’s interests in the jointly-controlled entities, except where unrealised losses provide evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Adjustments are made to bring into line any dissimilar accounting policies that may exist.

The results of jointly-controlled entities are included in the Company’s profit or loss to the extent of dividends received and receivable. The Company’s interests in jointly-controlled entities are treated as non-current assets and are stated at cost less any impairment losses.

Associates

An associate is an entity, not being a subsidiary or a jointly-controlled entity, in which the Group has a long term interest of generally not less than 20% of the equity voting rights and over which it is in a position to exercise significant influence.

The Group’s interests in associates are stated in the consolidated statement of financial position at the Group’s share of net assets under the equity method of accounting, less any impairment losses. The Group’s share of the post-acquisition results and reserves of associates is included in profit or loss and consolidated reserves, respectively. Unrealised gains and losses resulting from transactions between the Group and its associates are eliminated to the extent of the Group’s interests in the associates, except where unrealised losses provide evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Adjustments are made to bring into line any dissimilar accounting policies that may exist.

The results of associates are included in the Company’s profit or loss to the extent of dividends received and receivable. The Company’s interests in associates are treated as non-current assets and are stated at cost less any impairment losses.

Goodwill

Goodwill arising on the acquisition of subsidiaries, associates and jointly-controlled entities represents the excess of the cost of the business combination over the Group’s interest in the net fair value of the acquirees’ identifiable assets acquired, and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed as at the date of acquisition.

Goodwill arising on acquisition is recognised in the consolidated statement of financial position as an asset, initially measured at cost and subsequently at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. In the case of associates and jointly-controlled entities, goodwill is included in the carrying amount thereof, rather than as a separately identified asset in the consolidated statement of financial position.

The carrying amount of goodwill is reviewed for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired. The Group performs its annual impairment test of goodwill as at 31 December. For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the Group’s cash-generating units, or groups of cash-generating units, that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the Group are assigned to those units or groups of units.

Impairment is determined by assessing the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit (group of cashgenerating units) to which the goodwill relates. Where the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit (group of cash-generating units) is less than the carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognised. An impairment loss recognised for goodwill is not reversed in a subsequent period.

Where goodwill forms part of a cash-generating unit (group of cash-generating units) and part of the operation within that unit is disposed of, the goodwill associated with the operation disposed of is included in the carrying amount of the operation when determining the gain or loss on disposal of the operation. Goodwill disposed of in this circumstance is measured based on the relative values of the operation disposed of and the portion of the cash-generating unit retained.

Excess over the cost of business combinations

Any excess of the Group’s interest in the net fair value of the acquirees’ identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities over the cost of acquisition of subsidiaries, associates and jointly-controlled entities (previously referred to as negative goodwill), after reassessment, is recognised immediately in profit or loss.

The excess for associates and jointly-controlled entities is included in the Group’s share of the associates’ and jointly-controlled entities’ profits or losses in the period in which the investments are acquired.

Impairment of non-financial assets other than goodwill

Where an indication of impairment exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required (other than inventories, deferred tax assets, financial assets, investment properties and goodwill), the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of the asset’s or cash-generating unit’s value in use and its fair value less costs to sell, and is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets, in which case the recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

An impairment loss is recognised only if the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. An impairment loss is charged to profit or loss in the period in which it arises in those expense categories consistent with the function of the impaired asset.

An assessment is made at the end of each reporting period as to whether there is any indication that previously recognised impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such an indication exists, the recoverable amount is estimated. A previously recognised impairment loss of an asset other than goodwill is reversed only if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount of that asset, but not to an amount higher than the carrying amount that would have been determined (net of any depreciation/ amortisation) had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. A reversal of such an impairment loss is credited to profit or loss in the period in which it arises.

Related parties

A party is considered to be related to the Group if:

  • (a) the party, directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, (i) controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with, the Group; (ii) has an interest in the Group that gives it significant influence over the Group; or (iii) has joint control over the Group;

  • (b) the party is an associate;

  • (c) the party is a jointly-controlled entity;

  • (d) the party is a member of the key management personnel of the Group or its parent;

  • (e) the party is a close member of the family of any individual referred to in (a) or (d); or

  • (f) the party is an entity that is controlled, jointly controlled or significantly influenced by or for which significant voting power in such entity resides with, directly or indirectly, any individual referred to in (d) or (e).

Property, plant and equipment and depreciation

Property, plant and equipment, other than construction in progress, are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairment losses. The cost of an item of property, plant and equipment comprises its purchase price and any directly attributable costs of bringing the asset to its working condition and location for its intended use. Expenditure incurred after items of property, plant and equipment have been put into operation, such as repairs and maintenance, is normally charged to profit or loss in the period in which it is incurred. In situations where the recognition criteria are satisfied, the expenditure for a major inspection is capitalised in the carrying amount of the asset as a replacement. Where significant parts of property, plant and equipment are required to be replaced at intervals, the Group recognises such parts as individual assets with specific useful lives and depreciation.

Depreciation is calculated on the straight-line basis to write off the cost of each item of property, plant and equipment to its residual value over its estimated useful life. The principal annual rates used for this purpose are as follows:

s:
Buildings . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.4% to 3.2%
Machinery . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 4.8% to 19.2%
Vehicles . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 9.6% to 19.2%
Electronic equipment and others . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 9.6% to 19.2%

Where parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, the cost of that item is allocated on a reasonable basis among the parts and each part is depreciated separately.

Residual values, useful lives and the depreciation method are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at least at each financial year end.

An item of property, plant and equipment and any significant part initially recognised is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss on disposal or retirement recognised in profit or loss in the year the asset is derecognised is the difference between the net sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the relevant asset.

Construction in progress representing property, plant and equipment under construction is stated at cost less any impairment losses, and is not depreciated. Cost comprises the direct costs of construction and capitalised borrowing costs on related borrowed funds during the period of construction. Construction in progress is reclassified to the appropriate category of property, plant and equipment when completed and ready for use.

Investment properties

Investment properties are interests in land and buildings held to earn rental income and/or for capital appreciation, rather than for use in the production or supply of goods or services or for administrative purposes; or for sale in the ordinary course of business. Such properties are measured initially at cost, including transaction costs.

ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT

APPENDIX I

II. NOTES TO FINANCIAL INFORMATION — continued

3.2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies — continued

Investment properties — continued

Subsequent to initial recognition, investment properties are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairment losses. Depreciation is charged so as to write off the cost of investment properties using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of 20 to 50 years. Owner-occupied property is transferred to investment property when there is a change in use evidenced by the end of owner occupation.

An investment property is derecognised upon disposal or when the investment property is permanently withdrawn from use and no future economic benefits are expected from its disposals. 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 asset) is included in profit or loss in the year in which the item is derecognised.

Intangible assets (other than goodwill)

Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. The cost of intangible assets acquired in a business combination is the fair value as at the date of acquisition. The useful lives of intangible assets are assessed to be either finite or indefinite. Intangible assets with finite lives are subsequently amortised over the useful economic life and assessed for impairment whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired. The amortisation period and the amortisation method for an intangible asset with a finite useful life are reviewed at least at each financial year end.

Patents and licenses

Purchased patents and licenses are stated at cost less any impairment losses and are amortised on the straightline basis over the shorter of their estimated useful lives of 7 to 10 years and the relevant license periods.

Research and development costs

All research costs are charged to profit or loss as incurred.

Expenditure incurred on projects to develop new products is capitalised and deferred only when the Group can demonstrate the technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale, its intention to complete and its ability to use or sell the asset, how the asset will generate future economic benefits, the availability of resources to complete the project and the ability to measure reliably the expenditure during the development. Product development expenditure which does not meet these criteria is expensed when incurred.

Deferred development costs are stated at cost less any impairment losses and are amortised using the straightline basis over the commercial lives of the underlying products commencing from the date when the products are put into commercial production.

Leases

Leases that transfer substantially all the rewards and risks of ownership of assets to the Group, other than legal title, are accounted for as finance leases. At the inception of a finance lease, the cost of the leased asset is capitalised at the present value of the minimum lease payments and recorded together with the obligation, excluding the interest element, to reflect the purchase and financing. Assets held under capitalised finance leases are included in property, plant and equipment, and depreciated over the shorter of the lease terms and the estimated useful lives of

– I-24 –

ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT

APPENDIX I

3.2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies — continued

Leases — continued

the assets. The finance costs of such leases are charged to profit or loss so as to provide a constant periodic rate of charge over the lease terms.

Leases where substantially all the rewards and risks of ownership of assets remain with the lessor are accounted for as operating leases. Where the Group is the lessor, assets leased by the Group under operating leases are included in non-current assets, and rentals receivable under the operating leases are credited to profit or loss on the straight-line basis over the lease terms. Where the Group is the lessee, rentals payable under operating leases are charged to the statement of comprehensive income on the straight-line basis over the lease terms.

Prepaid land lease payments under operating leases are initially stated at cost and subsequently recognised on the straight-line basis over the lease terms. When the lease payments cannot be allocated reliably between the land and buildings elements, the entire lease payments are included in the cost of the land and buildings as a finance lease in property, plant and equipment.

Investments and other financial assets

Initial recognition and measurement

Financial assets within the scope of IAS 39 are classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables, held-to-maturity investments and available-for-sale financial assets, or as derivatives designated as hedging instruments in an effective hedge, as appropriate. The Group determines the classification of its financial assets at initial recognition. When financial assets are recognised initially, they are measured at fair value, plus, in the case of investments not at fair value through profit or loss, directly attributable transaction costs.

All regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on the trade date, that is, the date that the Group commits to purchase or sell the asset. Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within the period generally established by regulation or convention in the marketplace.

The Group’s financial assets include cash and bank balances, trade and bills receivables, other receivables, other long-term assets, derivative financial instruments and available-for-sale investments.

Subsequent measurement

The subsequent measurement of financial assets depends on their classification as follows:

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss include financial assets held for trading. Financial assets are classified as held for trading if they are acquired for the purpose of sale in the near term. This category includes derivative financial instruments entered into by the Group that are not designated as hedging instruments in hedge relationships as defined by IAS 39. Derivatives, including separated embedded derivatives, are also classified as held for trading unless they are designated as effective hedging instruments. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are carried in the statement of financial position at fair value with changes in fair value recognised in

– I-25 –

ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT

APPENDIX I

II. NOTES TO FINANCIAL INFORMATION — continued

3.2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies — continued

Investments and other financial assets — continued

profit or loss. These net fair value changes not include any dividends on these financial assets, which are recognised in accordance with the policy set out for “Revenue recognition” below.

The Group evaluates its financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (held for trading) to assess whether the intent to sell them in the near term is still appropriate. When the Group is unable to trade these financial assets due to inactive markets and management’s intent to sell them in the foreseeable future significantly changes, the Group may elect to reclassify these financial assets in rare circumstances. The reclassification from financial assets at fair value through profit or loss to loans and receivables, available-for-sale financial assets or held-to-maturity investments depends on the nature of the assets.

Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. After initial measurement, such assets are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method less any allowance for impairment. Amortised cost is calculated taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and includes fees or costs that are an integral part of the effective interest rate. The effective interest rate amortisation is included in finance income in profit or loss. The loss arising from impairment is recognised in profit or loss in other operating expenses.

Held-to-maturity investments

Non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturity are classified as held to maturity when the Group has the positive intention and ability to hold to maturity. Held-to-maturity investments are subsequently measured at amortised cost less any allowance for impairment. Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the effective interest rate. The effective interest rate amortisation is included in financial income in profit or loss. The loss arising from impairment is recognised in the financial costs in profit or loss.

Available-for-sale financial investments

Available-for-sale financial investments are non-derivative financial assets in unlisted equity. Equity investments classified as available for sale are those which are neither classified as held for trading nor designated at fair value through profit or loss.

After initial recognition, available-for-sale financial investments are subsequently measured at fair value, with unrealised gains or losses recognised as other comprehensive income in the available-for-sale investment valuation reserve until the investment is derecognised, at which time the cumulative gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss in other income, or until the investment is determined to be impaired, at which time the cumulative gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss and removed from the available-for-sale investment valuation reserve. Interest and dividends earned are reported as interest income and dividend income, respectively and are recognised in profit or loss as other income in accordance with the policies set out for “Revenue recognition” below.

When the fair value of unlisted equity securities cannot be reliably measured because (a) the variability in the range of reasonable fair value estimates is significant for that investment or (b) the probabilities of the various

– I-26 –

ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT

APPENDIX I

II. NOTES TO FINANCIAL INFORMATION — continued

3.2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies — continued

Investments and other financial assets — continued

Available-for-sale financial investments — continued

estimates within the range cannot be reasonably assessed and used in estimating fair value, such securities are stated at cost less any impairment losses.

The Group evaluates its available-for-sale financial assets whether the ability and intention to sell them in the near term are still appropriate. When the Group is unable to trade these financial assets due to inactive markets and management’s intent to do so significantly changes in the foreseeable future, the Group may elect to reclassify these financial assets in rare circumstances. Reclassification to loans and receivables is permitted when the financial assets meet the definition of loans and receivables and the Group has the intent and ability to hold these assets for the foreseeable future or to maturity. The reclassification to the held-to-maturity category is permitted only when the entity has the ability and intent to hold until the maturity date of the financial asset.

For a financial asset reclassified out of the available-for-sale category, any previous gain or loss on that asset that has been recognised in equity is amortised to profit or loss over the remaining life of the investment using the effective interest rate. Any difference between the new amortised cost and the expected cash flows is also amortised over the remaining life of the asset using the effective interest rate. If the asset is subsequently determined to be impaired, then the amount recorded in equity is reclassified to profit or loss.

Fair value of financial assets

The fair value of financial instruments that are traded in active markets is determined by reference to quoted market prices or dealer price quotations (bid price for long positions and ask price for short positions), without any deduction for transaction costs. For financial instruments where there is no active market, fair value is determined using valuation techniques. Such techniques include using recent arm’s length market transactions; reference to the current market value of another instrument which is substantially the same; a discounted cash flow analysis; and other valuation models.

Impairment of financial assets

The Group assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is any objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired. A financial asset or a group of financial assets is deemed to be impaired if, and only if, there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that has occurred after the initial recognition of the asset (an incurred “loss event”) and that loss event has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or the group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated. Evidence of impairment may include indications that a debtor or a group of debtors is experiencing significant financial difficulty, default or delinquency in interest or principal payments, the probability that they will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation and observable data indicating that there is a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows, such as changes in arrears or economic conditions that correlate with defaults.

Financial assets carried at amortised cost

For financial assets carried at amortised cost, the Group first assesses individually whether objective evidence of impairment exists for financial assets that are individually significant, or collectively for financial assets that are

– I-27 –

ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT

APPENDIX I

II. NOTES TO FINANCIAL INFORMATION — continued

3.2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies — continued

Impairment of financial assets — continued

Financial assets carried at amortised cost — continued

not individually significant. If the Group determines that no objective evidence of impairment exists for an individually assessed financial asset, whether significant or not, it includes the asset in a group of financial assets with similar credit risk characteristics and collectively assesses them for impairment. Assets that are individually assessed for impairment and for which an impairment loss is, or continues to be, recognised are not included in a collective assessment of impairment.

If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss has been incurred, the amount of the 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). The present value of the estimated future cash flows is discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate (i.e., the effective interest rate computed at initial recognition). If a loan has a variable interest rate, the discount rate for measuring any impairment loss is the current effective interest rate.

The carrying amount of the asset is reduced either directly or through the use of an allowance account and the amount of the loss is recognised in profit or loss. Interest income continues to be accrued on the reduced carrying amount and is accrued using the rate of interest used to discount the future cash flows for the purpose of measuring the impairment loss. Loans and receivables together with any associated allowance are written off when there is no realistic prospect of future recovery.

If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the estimated impairment loss increases or decreases because of an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the previously recognised impairment loss is increased or reduced by adjusting the allowance account. If a future write-off is later recovered, the recovery is credited to finance costs in profit or loss.

Available-for-sale financial investments

For available-for-sale financial investments, the Group assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is objective evidence that an investment or a group of investments is impaired.

If an available-for-sale asset is impaired, an amount comprising the difference between its cost (net of any principal payment and amortisation) and its current fair value, less any impairment loss previously recognised in profit or loss, is removed from other comprehensive income and recognised in profit or loss.

In the case of equity investments classified as available for sale, objective evidence would include a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of an investment below its cost. The determination of what is “significant” or “prolonged” requires judgement. “Significant” is to be evaluated against the original cost of the investment and “prolonged” against the period in which the fair value has been below its original cost. Where there is evidence of impairment, the cumulative loss — measured as the difference between the acquisition cost and the current fair value, less any impairment loss on that investment previously recognised in the profit or loss — is removed from other comprehensive income and recognised in the profit or loss. Impairment losses on equity instruments classified as available for sale are not reversed through the profit or loss. Increases in their fair value after impairment are recognised directly in other comprehensive income.

Derecognition of financial assets

A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is derecognised when:

  • k the rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired;

  • k the Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset, or has assumed an obligation to pay the received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a “pass-through” arrangement; and either (a) the Group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) the Group has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset.

When the Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from an asset or has entered into a passthrough arrangement, and has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset nor transferred control of the asset, the asset is recognised to the extent of the Group’s continuing involvement in the asset. In that case, the Group also recognises an associated liability. The transferred asset and the associated liability are measured on a basis that reflects the rights and obligations that the Group has retained.

Continuing involvement that takes the form of a guarantee over the transferred asset is measured at the lower of the original carrying amount of the asset and the maximum amount of consideration that the Group could be required to repay.

Financial liabilities

Initial recognition and measurement

Financial liabilities within the scope of IAS 39 are classified as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, loans and borrowings, or as derivatives designated as hedging instruments in an effective hedge, as appropriate. The Group determines the classification of its financial liabilities at initial recognition.

All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value and in the case of loans and borrowings, plus directly attributable transaction costs.

The Group’s financial liabilities include trade and bills payables, other payables, other long-term liabilities, derivative financial instruments and interest-bearing bank and other borrowings.

Subsequent measurement

The measurement of financial liabilities depends on their classification as follows:

Loans and borrowings

After initial recognition, interest-bearing bank and other borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method unless the effect of discounting would be immaterial, in which case they are stated at cost. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognised as well as through the effective interest rate method amortisation process.

– I-29 –

ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT

APPENDIX I

II. NOTES TO FINANCIAL INFORMATION — continued

3.2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies — continued

Financial liabilities — continued

Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the effective interest rate. The effective interest rate amortisation is included in finance costs in profit or loss.

Financial guarantee contracts

Financial guarantee contracts issued by the Group are those contracts that require a payment to be made to reimburse the holder for a loss it incurs because the specified debtor fails to make a payment when due in accordance with the terms of a debt instrument. A financial guarantee contract is recognised initially as a liability at its fair value, adjusted for transaction costs that are directly attributable to the issuance of the guarantee. Subsequent to initial recognition, the Group measures the financial guarantee contract at the higher of: (i) the amount of the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period; and (ii) the amount initially recognised less, when appropriate, cumulative amortisation.

Derecognition of financial liabilities

A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled, or expires.

When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as a derecognition of the original liability and a recognition of a new liability, and the difference between the respective carrying amounts is recognised in profit or loss.

Offsetting of financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the statement of financial position if, and only if, there is currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or to realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.

Fair value of financial instruments

The fair value of financial instruments that are traded in active markets is determined by reference to quoted market prices or dealer price quotations (bid price for long positions and ask price for short positions), without any deduction for transaction costs. For financial instruments where there is no active market, the fair value is determined using appropriate valuation techniques. Such techniques include using recent arm’s length market transactions; reference to the current market value of another instrument which is substantially the same; a discounted cash flow analysis; and other valuation models.

Derivative financial instruments

Initial recognition and subsequent measurement

The Group uses derivative financial instruments such as forward currency contracts to hedge its foreign currency risk. Forward currency contracts are initially recognised at fair value on the date on which such derivative

– I-30 –

ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT

APPENDIX I

II. NOTES TO FINANCIAL INFORMATION — continued

3.2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies — continued

Derivative financial instruments — continued

contracts are entered into and are subsequently remeasured at fair value. Derivatives are carried as assets when the fair value is positive and as liabilities when the fair value is negative.

Any gains or losses arising from changes in fair value of derivatives are taken directly to profit or loss, except for the effective portion of cash flow hedges, which is recognised in other comprehensive income.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is determined on the weighted average basis and, in the case of work in progress, semi-finished goods and finished goods, comprises direct materials, direct labour and an appropriate proportion of overheads. Net realisable value is based on estimated selling prices less any estimated costs to be incurred to completion and disposal.

Construction contracts

Contract revenue comprises the agreed contract amount and appropriate amounts from variation orders, claims and incentive payments. Contract costs incurred comprise direct materials, the costs of subcontracting, direct labour and an appropriate proportion of variable and fixed construction overheads.

Revenue from fixed price construction contracts is recognised on the percentage of completion method, measured by reference to the proportion of costs incurred to date to the estimated total cost of the relevant contract.

Revenue from cost plus construction contracts is recognised on the percentage of completion method, by reference to the recoverable costs incurred during the period plus the related fee earned, measured by the proportion of costs incurred to date to the estimated total cost of the relevant contract.

Provision is made for foreseeable losses as soon as they are anticipated by management. Where contract costs incurred to date plus recognised profits less recognised losses exceed progress billings, the surplus is treated as an amount due from contract customers. Where progress billings exceed contract costs incurred to date plus recognised profits less recognised losses, the surplus is treated as an amount due to contract customers.

Cash and cash equivalents

For the purpose of the consolidated statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and demand deposits, and short term highly liquid investments which are readily convertible into known amounts of cash, are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value, and have a short maturity of generally within three months when acquired, less bank overdrafts which are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the Group’s cash management.

For the purpose of the statement of financial position, cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and at banks, including term deposits, which are not restricted as to use.

– I-31 –

ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT

APPENDIX I

II. NOTES TO FINANCIAL INFORMATION — continued

Provisions

A provision is recognised when a present obligation (legal or constructive) has arisen as a result of a past event and it is probable that a future outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, provided that a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

When the effect of discounting is material, the amount recognised for a provision is the present value at the end of the reporting period of the future expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation. The increase in the discounted present value amount arising from the passage of time is included in finance costs in profit or loss.

Provisions for product warranties granted by the Group on certain products are recognised based on sales volume and past experience of the level of repairs, discounted to their present values as appropriate.

Income tax

Income tax comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax relating to items recognised outside profit or loss is recognised outside profit or loss, either in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.

Current tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period, taking into consideration interpretations and practices prevailing in the countries in which the Group operates.

Deferred tax is provided, using the liability method, on all temporary differences at the end of the reporting period between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences, except:

  • k where the deferred tax liability arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; and

  • k in respect of taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and interests in jointly-controlled entities, where the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, carryforward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, and the carryforward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilised, except:

  • k where the deferred tax asset relating to the deductible temporary differences arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; and

  • k in respect of deductible temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and interests in jointly-controlled entities, deferred tax assets are only recognised to the extent that it is probable that the temporary differences will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised.

– I-32 –

ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT

APPENDIX I

II. NOTES TO FINANCIAL INFORMATION — continued

3.2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies — continued

Income tax — continued

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilised. Unrecognised deferred tax assets are reassessed at the end of each reporting period and are recognised to the extent that it has become probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be recovered.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred taxes relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.

Government grants

Government grants are recognised at their fair values where there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and all attaching conditions will be complied with. When the grant relates to an expense item, it is recognised as income over the periods necessary to match the grant on a systematic basis to the costs that it is intended to compensate. Where the grant relates to an asset, the fair value is credited to a deferred income account and is released to profit or loss over the expected useful life of the relevant asset by equal annual instalments.

Revenue recognition

Revenue is recognised when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and when the revenue can be measured reliably, on the following bases:

  • (a) from the sale of individual wind turbines based on standard solutions (supply-only projects) as well as spare parts sales, when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the buyer, provided that the Group maintains neither managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership, nor effective control over the goods sold;

  • (b) from the sale of electricity, upon the transmission of electric power to the power grid companies, as determined based on the volume of electric power transmitted and the applicable fixed tariff rates agreed with the respective electric power grid companies periodically;

  • (c) from construction contracts, on the percentage of completion basis, as further explained in the accounting policy for “Construction contracts” above;

  • (d) from the rendering of wind power services, when the agreed services are performed, provided over the term of the agreement;

  • (e) rental income, on a time proportion basis over the lease terms;

Revenue recognition — continued

  • (f) interest income, on an accrual basis using the effective interest method by applying the rate that discounts the estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial instrument to the net carrying amount of the financial asset; and

  • (g) dividend income, when the shareholders’ right to receive payment has been established.

Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, i.e., assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale, are capitalised as part of the cost of those assets. The 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 capitalised. All other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred. Borrowing costs consist of interest and other costs that an entity incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds.

Dividends

Final dividends proposed by the Directors are classified as a separate allocation of retained profits within the equity section of the statement of financial position, until they have been approved by the shareholders in a general meeting. When these dividends have been approved by the shareholders and declared, they are recognised as a liability.

Interim dividends are simultaneously proposed and declared. Consequently, interim dividends are recognised immediately as a liability when they are proposed and declared.

Foreign currencies

These financial statements are presented in RMB, which is the Company’s functional and presentation currency. Each entity in the Group determines its own functional currency and items included in the financial statements of each entity are measured using that functional currency. Foreign currency transactions recorded by the entities in the Group are initially recorded using their respective functional currency rates ruling at the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the functional currency rates of exchange ruling at the end of the reporting period. All differences are taken to profit or loss. Nonmonetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the dates of the initial transactions. Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value was determined.

The functional currencies of certain overseas subsidiaries and jointly-controlled entities are currencies other than RMB. As at the end of the reporting period, the assets and liabilities of these entities are translated into the presentation currency of the Company at the exchange rates ruling at the end of the reporting period and their statements of comprehensive income are translated into RMB at the weighted average exchange rates for the year. The resulting exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the exchange

fluctuation reserve. On disposal of a foreign operation, the component of other comprehensive income relating to that particular foreign operation is recognised in profit or loss.

Any goodwill arising on the acquisition of a foreign operation and any fair value adjustments to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities arising on acquisition are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign operation and translated at the closing rate.

For the purpose of the consolidated statement of cash flows, the cash flows of overseas subsidiaries are translated into RMB at the exchange rates ruling at the dates of the cash flows. Frequently recurring cash flows of overseas subsidiaries which arise throughout the year are translated into RMB at the weighted average exchange rates for the year.

Employee benefits

Defined contribution plans

Obligations for contributions to defined contribution pension plans are recognised as expenses in profit or loss as incurred.

Short term employee benefits

Short term employee benefit obligations are measured on an undiscounted basis and are expensed as the related service is provided.

A provision is recognised for the amount expected to be paid under short term cash bonus or profit- sharing plans if the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service provided by the employee and the obligation can be estimated reliably.

4. Summary of Significant Judgements and Estimates

Judgements

In the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies, management has made the following judgements, apart from those involving estimations, which has the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements:

Operating lease commitments — Group as lessor

The Group has entered into commercial property leases on its investment property portfolio. The Group has determined, based on an evaluation of the terms and conditions of the arrangements, that it retains all the significant risks and rewards of ownership of these properties which are leased out on operating leases.

Classification between investment properties and owner-occupied properties

The Group determines whether a property qualifies as an investment property, and has developed criteria in making that judgement. Investment property is a property held to earn rentals or for capital appreciation or both. Therefore, the Group considers whether a property generates cash flows largely independently of the other assets

– I-35 –

ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT

APPENDIX I

II. NOTES TO FINANCIAL INFORMATION — continued

4. Summary of Significant Judgements and Estimates — continued

Judgements — continued

held by the Group. Some properties comprise a portion that is held to earn rentals or for capital appreciation and another portion that is held for use in the production or supply of goods or services or for administrative purposes. If these portions could be sold separately, the Group accounts for the portions separately. If the portions could not be sold separately, the property is an investment property only if an insignificant portion is held for use in the production or supply of goods or services or for administrative purposes. Judgement is made on an individual property basis to determine whether ancillary services are so significant that a property does not qualify as an investment property.

Estimation uncertainty

The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the end of the reporting period, 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 residual values of items of property, plant and equipment

In determining the useful lives and residual values of items of property, plant and equipment, the Group periodically reviews the changes in market conditions, expected physical wear and tear, and the maintenance of the asset. The estimation of the useful life of the asset is based on historical experience of the Group with similar assets that are used in a similar way. Depreciation amount will be adjusted if the estimated useful lives and/or the residual values of items of property, plant and equipment are different from previous estimation. Useful lives and residual values are reviewed, at each date of the statement of financial position, based on changes in circumstances.

The carrying amounts of property, plant and equipment as at 31 December 2007, 2008 and 2009 were approximately RMB404,243,000, RMB1,303,428,000 and RMB2,440,655,000, respectively. More details are given in note 14.

Impairment of goodwill

The Group determines whether goodwill is impaired at least on an annual basis. This requires an estimation of the value in use of the cash-generating units to which the goodwill is allocated. Estimating the value in use requires the Group to make an estimate of the expected future cash flows from the cash-generating units and also to choose a suitable discount rate in order to calculate the present value of those cash flows. The carrying amounts of goodwill as at 31 December 2007, 2008 and 2009 were approximately RMB16,000, RMB240,195,000 and RMB249,882,000, respectively. More details are given in note 17.

Current income tax

The Group is subject to income taxes in numerous jurisdictions in the PRC. Judgement is required in determining the provision for taxation. There are many transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain during the ordinary course of business. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts originally recorded, the differences will impact on the current income tax and deferred income tax in the periods in which the differences arise.

– I-36 –

ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT

APPENDIX I

II. NOTES TO FINANCIAL INFORMATION — continued

Estimation uncertainty — continued

The carrying amounts of tax payables as at 31 December 2007, 2008 and 2009 were Nil, RMB184,373,000 and RMB212,335,000, respectively.

Deferred income tax

Deferred tax assets relating to certain temporary differences and tax losses are recognised as management considers it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences or tax losses can be utilised. The realisation of the deferred tax assets mainly depends on whether sufficient future profits or taxable temporary differences will be available in the future. In cases where the actual future profits generated are less than expected, a material reversal of deferred tax assets may arise, which will be recognised in profit or loss in the period in which such a reversal takes place.

The carrying amounts of deferred tax assets as at 31 December 2007, 2008 and 2009 were RMB11,710,000, RMB101,903,000 and RMB190,504,000, respectively. More details are given in note 23.

The carrying amounts of deferred tax liabilities as at 31 December 2007, 2008 and 2009 were Nil, RMB85,571,000 and RMB90,937,000, respectively. More details are given in note 23.

Impairment of trade and bills receivables

The Group maintains an allowance for estimated loss arising from the inability of its customers to make the required payments. The Group makes its estimates based on the ageing of its trade and bills receivable balances, customers’ creditworthiness, and historical write-off experience. If the financial condition of its customers will deteriorate such that the actual impairment loss might be higher than expected, the Group would be required to revise the basis for making the allowance and its future results would be affected.

The carrying amounts of trade and bills receivables as at 31 December 2007, 2008 and 2009 were RMB764,066,000, RMB2,619,021,000 and RMB2,919,607,000, respectively. More details are given in note 25.

Warranty provision

Provision for product warranties granted by the Group to certain products is recognised based on sales volume and past experience of the level of repairs, discounted to their present values as appropriate. At 31 December 2007, 2008 and 2009, the best estimates of the carrying amounts of warranty provisions were RMB23,942,000, RMB131,312,000 and RMB437,092,000, respectively. More details are given in note 32.

5. Segment Information

For management purposes, the Group is organised into business units based on their products and services and has three reportable operating segments as follows:

  • (a) The manufacturing segment engages in the research and development, manufacture and sale of wind turbine generators and wind power components;

– I-37 –

ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT

APPENDIX I

II. NOTES TO FINANCIAL INFORMATION — continued

5. Segment Information — continued

  • (b) The wind power services segment provides wind power related consultancy, wind farm construction, maintenance and transportation services; and

  • (c) The wind farm development segment engages in development of wind farms, consisting of wind power generation service provided by the Group’s wind farms as well as sale of wind farms, if appropriate.

Management monitors the operating results of its operating segments separately for the purpose of making decisions about resources allocation and performance assessment. Segment performance is evaluated based on reportable segment profit or loss, which is a measure of adjusted profit or loss before tax from continuing operations. The adjusted profit or loss before tax from continuing operations is measured consistently with the Group’s profit or loss before tax from continuing operations.

Intersegment revenues are eliminated on consolidation. Intersegment sales and transfers are transacted with reference to the selling prices used for sales made to third parties at the then prevailing market prices.

The following tables present revenue, profit and certain asset, liability and expenditure information for the Group’s operating segments for the three years ended 31 December 2007, 2008 and 2009.

II. NOTES TO FINANCIAL INFORMATION — continued

10. Income Tax — continued

During the 5th Session of the 10th National People’s Congress, which was concluded on 16 March 2007, the PRC Corporate Income Tax Law (the “New Corporate Income Tax Law”) was approved and became effective on 1 January 2008. The New Corporate Income Tax Law introduced a wide range of changes which include, but are not limited to, the unification of the income tax rates for domestic-invested enterprises and foreign-invested enterprises, which results in a reduction in the income tax rate from 33% to 25% applicable to all domestic-invested enterprises and foreign-invested enterprises. The New Corporate Income Tax Law also removed the levy of local income tax. The effect of this change has been reflected in the calculation of deferred income tax as at 31 December 2007.

The Company was exempted from income tax in the PRC for the period from 1 April 2004 to 31 March 2008 in accordance with preferential tax policies issued by the government of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region and was taxed at a preferential income tax rate of 15% for the period from 1 April 2008 to 31 December 2008 in accordance with the preferential tax policies in the western region of the PRC. In addition, the Company has been identified as a “high and new technology enterprise” and was entitled to a preferential income tax rate of 15% for the three years ending 31 December 2011 in accordance with the New Corporate Income Tax Law.

Note: Expenses not deductible for tax purpose generally refer to expenses without proper tax-deductible documents and other miscellaneous expenses which are in excess of the allowable tax deduction limit, such as entertainment expenses and advertising expenses. Certain expenses accrued but unpaid as at 31 December 2007 were not deductible for income tax purpose for the year ended 31 December 2007. As the Company was in its tax holiday in fiscal year 2007 and exempted from income tax for the year ended 31 December 2007, when these unpaid expenses were settled by the Company in 2008, they were accounted for as non-deductible expenses and needed to be added back for income tax calculation for the year ended 31 December 2008.

11. Profit Attributable to Owners of the Company

The consolidated profit attributable to owners of the Company for the Relevant Years includes the profits of approximately RMB599,646,000, RMB709,243,000 and RMB1,093,390,000, respectively, which have been dealt with in the financial statements of the Company (note 35(b)).

The recoverable amount of the wind turbine generator manufacturing cash-generating unit has been determined based on a value in use calculation using cash flow projections based on a financial budget covering a five-year period approved by senior management. The discount rate applied to the cash flow projections is 15.70%.

Key assumptions were used in the value in use calculation of the wind turbine generator manufacturing cashgenerating unit for 31 December 2008 and 2009. The following describes each key assumption on which management has based its cash flow projection to undertake impairment testing of goodwill:

Budgeted gross margins — The basis used to determine the value assigned to the budgeted gross margins is the average gross margin achieved in the year immediately before the budget year, increased for expected efficiency improvements and expected market development.

Discount rate — The discount rate used is before tax and reflects specific risks relating to the relevant unit.

The values assigned to key assumptions reflect past experience of the management.

The RMB is not freely convertible into other currencies. However, under Mainland China’s prevailing rules and regulations over foreign exchange, the Group is permitted to exchange RMB for other currencies through banks authorised to conduct foreign exchange business.

Cash at banks earns interest at floating rates based on daily bank deposit rates. Short term time deposits are made for varying periods of between seven days and three months depending on the immediate cash requirements of the Group, and earn interest at the respective short term time deposit rates. The bank balances and pledged deposits are deposited with creditworthy banks with no recent history of default.

  • (i) During the year ended 31 December 2007, certain of the Company’s government grants amounting to RMB4,187,000, were credited to the capital reserve in the Company’s financial statements prepared in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the PRC and according to the instruction of the local government, the provider of these government grants, as a non-distributable reserve. In accordance with IAS 20, these government grants were recognised as income in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, and then transferred to the capital reserve.

  • (ii) Statutory surplus reserve is presented as part of the reserve funds in the consolidated statement of changes in equity. According to the relevant PRC regulations and the articles of association of the Company and its subsidiaries in the PRC, these subsidiaries are required to transfer 10% of their profit after income tax, as determined under the Chinese Accounting Standards, to the statutory surplus reserve until the reserve balance reaches 50% of their respective registered capital. The transfer to this reserve must be made before the distribution of dividends to equity owners. Statutory surplus reserve can be used to make good previous years’ losses, if any, and may be converted into paid-in capital in proportion to the existing interests of equity owners, provided that the balance after such conversion is not less than 25% of the registered capital. This reserve fund can be utilised in setting off accumulated losses or increasing capital of the Company and its subsidiaries and is non-distributable other than in liquidation.

43. Financial Risk Management Objectives and Policies

The Group’s principal financial instruments, other than derivatives, comprise interest-bearing bank loans, cash and cash equivalents and pledged deposits. The main purpose of these financial instruments is to raise finance for the Group’s operations. The Group has various other financial assets and liabilities such as trade and bills receivables and trade and bills payables, which arise directly from its operations.

The main risks arising from the Group’s financial instruments are fair value and cash flow interest rate risks, foreign currency risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. Generally, the senior management of the Company meets regularly to analyse and formulate measures to manage the Group’s exposure to these risks. In addition, the board of directors of the Company holds meetings regularly to analyse and approve the proposals made by the senior management of the Company. Generally, the Group introduces conservative strategies on its risk management. The Group’s accounting policies in relation to derivative financial instruments are set out in note 3.2 of Section II above.

– I-92 –

ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT

APPENDIX I

II. NOTES TO FINANCIAL INFORMATION — continued

43. Financial Risk Management Objectives and Policies — continued

(a) Fair value and cash flow interest rate risks

Fair value interest rate risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. Cash flow interest rate risk is the risk that the future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. With its borrowings issued at fixed and floating interest rates, the Group is exposed to both fair value and cash flow interest rate risks.

The Group regularly reviews and monitors the mix of fixed and floating interest rate borrowings in order to manage its interest rate risk. The Group’s interest-bearing bank loans and short term deposits are stated at amortised cost and not revalued on a periodic basis. Floating rate interest income and expenses are credited/charged to profit or loss as earned/incurred.

If there would be a general increase/decrease in the interest rates of bank loans with floating interest rates by one percentage point, with all other variables held constant, the consolidated pre-tax profit would have decreased/ increased by approximately RMB1,530,000, RMB12,943,000 and RMB23,643,000 for the three years ended 31 December 2007, 2008 and 2009, respectively, and there is no impact on other components of the consolidated equity, except for retained profits, of the Group. The sensitivity analysis above has been determined assuming that the change in interest rates had occurred at the end of each reporting period and has applied the exposure to interest rate risk to those financial instruments in existence at those dates. The estimated one percentage point increase or decrease represents management’s assessment of a reasonably possible change in interest rates over the period until the end of the next reporting period.

(b) Foreign currency risk

The Group is exposed to foreign currency risk on cash and cash equivalents, receivables, payables and bank loans that are denominated in a currency other than the respective functional currencies of the Group’s entities. The currencies giving rise to this risk are primarily the Euro and United States dollar.

The Group’s and the Company’s exposures to foreign currencies as at 31 December 2007, 2008 and 2009 are as follows:

ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT

II. NOTES TO FINANCIAL INFORMATION — continued

43. Financial Risk Management Objectives and Policies — continued

(b) Foreign currency risk — continued

The sensitivity analysis above has been determined assuming that the change in foreign currency rates had occurred at the end of each of the Relevant Years and had applied the exposure to foreign currency risk to those monetary assets and liabilities and net investment operations in existence at those dates. The estimated percentage increase or decrease represents management’s assessment of a reasonably possible change in foreign currency rates over the period until the end of the next reporting period. The sensitivity analysis is performed on the same basis for the entire Relevant Years.

(c) Credit risk

The Group trades only with recognised and creditworthy parties. The Group has a credit policy in place which requires credit evaluations on all customers who wish to trade on credit terms. Receivable balances are monitored on an ongoing basis. In most instances, advance payments are required for customers of wind turbine generators. Otherwise, the credit quality of customers is assessed after taking into account the Group’s financial position and past experience with the customers.

The Group establishes an allowance for impairment that represents its estimate of losses to be incurred in respect of trade and other receivables. The main components of this allowance are a specific loss component that relates to individually significant exposures.

The allowance account in respect of trade and other receivables is used to record impairment losses unless the Group is satisfied that no recovery of the amount owing is possible. At that point, the impaired financial asset is considered irrecoverable and the amount charged to the allowance account is written off against the carrying amount of the impaired financial asset.

Management evaluates the creditworthiness of the Group’s existing and prospective customers and ensures that the customers have adequate financing for the projects as well as the source of the financing.

The maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by the carrying amount of each financial asset in the statements of financial position.

Cash and bank balances are placed with banks and financial institutions which are regulated.

(d) Liquidity risk

The liquidity of the Group is primarily dependent on its ability to maintain adequate cash inflows from operations to meet its debt obligations as they fall due, and its ability to obtain external financing to meet its committed future capital expenditure. With regard to its future capital commitments and other financing requirements, the Group has already obtained banking facilities with several banks of up to an amount of RMB13,712,000,000 as at 31 December 2009, of which an amount of approximately RMB6,986,000,000 has been utilised.

(e) Capital management

The Group’s primary objective for managing capital is to safeguard the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, so that it can continue to provide returns to shareholders and benefits to other stakeholders, by pricing services and products commensurately with the level of risk.

The Group sets the amount of capital in proportion to risk. The Group manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it in the light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debts.

The Group monitors capital using a gearing ratio, which is net debt divided by the capital plus net debt. Net debt includes trade and bills payables, other payables, interest-bearing bank and other borrowings and other longterm liabilities, less cash and cash equivalents and pledged deposits. Capital includes the equity attributable to owners of the Company stated in the consolidated statements of financial position.

The following is the text of a report, prepared for the purpose of incorporation in this prospectus, received from our reporting accountants, Ernst & Young, Certified Public Accountants, Hong Kong.

REPORT ON REVIEW OF INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF XINJIANG GOLDWIND SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY CO., LTD. (incorporated in the People’s Republic of China with limited liability)

Introduction

We have reviewed the accompanying interim financial information of Xinjiang Goldwind Science & Technology Co., Ltd. (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries (hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Group”) set out on pages IV-3 to IV-30 which comprises the Group’s interim condensed consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 March 2010 and the related interim condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the three-month period then ended, and explanatory notes.

The directors of the Company (the “Directors”) are responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of this interim condensed consolidated financial information in accordance with International Accounting Standard IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting (“IAS 34”). Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim condensed consolidated financial information based on our review. Our report is made solely to you, as a body, in accordance with our agreed terms of engagement, and for no other purpose. We do not assume responsibility towards or accept liability to any other person for the contents of this report.

Scope of Review

We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements 2410 “Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity”. A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing. Consequently, it does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

APPENDIX IV

II. NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The adoption of these revised IFRSs has had no financial effect on this interim condensed consolidated financial information.

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT JUDGEMENTS AND ESTIMATES

Judgements

In the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies, management has made the following judgements, apart from those involving estimations, which has the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements:

Operating lease commitments — Group as lessor

The Group has entered into commercial property leases on its investment property portfolio. The Group has determined, based on an evaluation of the terms and conditions of the arrangements, that it retains all the significant risks and rewards of ownership of these properties which are leased out on operating leases.

Classification between investment properties and owner-occupied properties

The Group determines whether a property qualifies as an investment property, and has developed criteria in making that judgement. Investment property is a property held to earn rentals or for capital appreciation or both. Therefore, the Group considers whether a property generates cash flows largely independently of the other assets held by the Group. Some properties comprise a portion that is held to earn rentals or for capital appreciation and another portion that is held for use in the production or supply of goods or services or for administrative purposes. If these portions could be sold separately, the Group accounts for the portions separately. If the portions could not be sold separately, the property is an investment property only if an insignificant portion is held for use in the production or supply of goods or services or for administrative purposes. Judgment is made on an individual property basis to determine whether ancillary services are so significant that a property does not qualify as an investment property.

Estimation uncertainty

The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the end of the reporting period, 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 residual values of items of property, plant and equipment

In determining the useful lives and residual values of items of property, plant and equipment, the Group periodically reviews the changes in market conditions, expected physical wear and tear, and the maintenance of the asset. The estimation of the useful life of the asset is based on historical experience of the Group with similar assets that are used in a similar way. Depreciation amount will be adjusted if the estimated useful lives and/or the residual values of items of property, plant and equipment are different from previous estimation. Useful lives and residual values are reviewed, at each date of the statement of financial position, based on changes in circumstances.

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT JUDGEMENTS AND ESTIMATES — continued

Estimation uncertainty — continued

Impairment of goodwill

The Group determines whether goodwill is impaired at least on an annual basis. This requires an estimation of the value in use of the cash-generating units to which the goodwill is allocated. Estimating the value in use requires the Group to make an estimate of the expected future cash flows from the cash-generating units and also to choose a suitable discount rate in order to calculate the present value of those cash flows.

Current income tax

The Group is subject to income taxes in numerous jurisdictions in the PRC. Judgement is required in determining the provision for taxation. There are many transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain during the ordinary course of business. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts originally recorded, the differences will impact on the current income tax and deferred income tax in the periods in which the differences arise.

Deferred income tax

Deferred tax assets relating to certain temporary differences and tax losses are recognised as management considers it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences or tax losses can be utilised. The realisation of the deferred tax assets mainly depends on whether sufficient future profits or taxable temporary differences will be available in the future. In cases where the actual future profits generated are less than expected, a material reversal of deferred tax assets may arise, which will be recognised in profit or loss in the period in which such a reversal takes place.

Impairment of trade and bills receivables

The Group maintains an allowance for estimated loss arising from the inability of its customers to make the required payments. The Group makes its estimates based on the ageing of its trade and bills receivable balances, customers’ creditworthiness, and historical write-off experience. If the financial condition of its customers will deteriorate such that the actual impairment loss might be higher than expected, the Group would be required to revise the basis for making the allowance and its future results would be affected.

Warranty provision

Provision for product warranties granted by the Group to certain products are recognised based on sales volume and past experience of the level of repairs, discounted to their present values as appropriate.

4. SEGMENT INFORMATION

For management purposes, the Group is organised into business units based on their products and services and has three reportable operating segments as follows:

  • (a) The manufacturing segment engages in the research and development, manufacture and sale of wind turbine generators and wind power components;

  • (b) The wind power services segment provides wind power related consultancy, wind farm construction, maintenance and transportation services; and

4. SEGMENT INFORMATION — continued

  • (c) The wind farm development segment engages in development of wind farms, consisting of wind power generation service provided by the Group’s wind farms as well as sale of wind farms, if appropriate.

Management monitors the operating results of its operating segments separately for the purpose of making decisions about resources allocation and performance assessment. Segment performance is evaluated based on reportable segment profit or loss, which is a measure of adjusted profit or loss before tax from continuing operations. The adjusted profit or loss before tax from continuing operations is measured consistently with the Group’s profit or loss before tax from continuing operations.

Intersegment revenues are eliminated on consolidation. Intersegment sales and transfers are transacted with reference to the selling prices used for sales made to third parties at the then prevailing market prices.

20. RESERVES — continued

Statutory surplus reserve is presented as part of the reserve funds in the consolidated statement of changes in equity. According to the relevant PRC regulations and the articles of association of the Company and its subsidiaries in the PRC, these subsidiaries are required to transfer 10% of their profit after income tax, as determined under the Chinese Accounting Standards, to the statutory surplus reserve until the reserve balance reaches 50% of their respective registered capital. The transfer to this reserve must be made before the distribution of dividends to equity owners. Statutory surplus reserve can be used to make good previous years’ losses, if any, and may be converted into paid-in capital in proportion to the existing interests of equity owners, provided that the balance after such conversion is not less than 25% of the registered capital. This reserve fund can be utilised in setting off accumulated losses or increasing capital of the Company and its subsidiaries and is non-distributable other than in liquidation.

25. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES

The Group’s principal financial instruments, other than derivatives, comprise interest-bearing bank loans, cash and cash equivalents and pledged deposits. The main purpose of these financial instruments is to raise finance for the Group’s operations. The Group has various other financial assets and liabilities such as trade and bills receivables and trade and bills payables, which arise directly from its operations.

The main risks arising from the Group’s financial instruments are fair value and cash flow interest rate risks, foreign currency risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. Generally, the senior management of the Company meets regularly to analyse and formulate measures to manage the Group’s exposure to these risks. In addition, the board of directors of the Company holds meetings regularly to analyse and approve the proposals made by the senior management of the Company. Generally, the Group introduces conservative strategies on its risk management.

(a) Fair value and cash flow interest rate risks

Fair value interest rate risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. Cash flow interest rate risk is the risk that the future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. With its borrowings issued at fixed and floating interest rates, the Group is exposed to both fair value and cash flow interest rate risks.

The Group regularly reviews and monitors the mix of fixed and floating interest rate borrowings in order to manage its interest rate risk. The Group’s interest-bearing bank loans and short term deposits are stated at amortised cost and not revalued on a periodic basis. Floating rate interest income and expenses are credited/charged to profit or loss as earned/incurred.

(b) Foreign currency risk

The Group is exposed to foreign currency risk on cash and cash equivalents, receivables, payables and bank loans that are denominated in a currency other than the respective functional currencies of the Group’s entities. The currencies giving rise to this risk are primarily the Euro and United States dollar.

– IV-27 –

UNAUDITED INTERIM FINANCIAL REPORT

APPENDIX IV

II. TO THE UNAUDITED INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION — continued

25. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES — continued

(c) Credit risk

The Group trades only with recognised and creditworthy parties. The Group has a credit policy in place which requires credit evaluations on all customers who wish to trade on credit terms. Receivable balances are monitored on an ongoing basis. In most instances, advance payments are required for customers of wind turbine generators. Otherwise, the credit quality of customers is assessed after taking into account the Group’s financial position and past experience with the customers.

The Group establishes an allowance for impairment that represents its estimate of losses to be incurred in respect of trade and other receivables. The main components of this allowance are a specific loss component that relates to individually significant exposures.

The allowance account in respect of trade and other receivables is used to record impairment losses unless the Group is satisfied that no recovery of the amount owing is possible. At that point, the impaired financial asset is considered irrecoverable and the amount charged to the allowance account is written off against the carrying amount of the impaired financial asset.

Management evaluates the creditworthiness of the Group’s existing and prospective customers and ensures that the customers have adequate financing for the projects as well as the source of the financing.

The maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by the carrying amount of each financial asset in the statements of financial position.

Cash and bank balances are placed with banks and financial institutions which are regulated.

(d) Liquidity risk

The liquidity of the Group is primarily dependent on its ability to maintain adequate cash inflows from operations to meet its debt obligations as they fall due, and its ability to obtain external financing to meet its committed future capital expenditure. With regard to its future capital commitments and other financing requirements, the Group has already obtained banking facilities with several banks of up to an amount of RMB14,572,000,000 as at 31 March 2010, of which an amount of approximately RMB7,241,000,000 has been utilised.

(e) Capital management

The Group’s primary objective for managing capital is to safeguard the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, so that it can continue to provide returns to shareholders and benefits to other stakeholders, by pricing services and products commensurately with the level of risk.

The Group sets the amount of capital in proportion to risk. The Group manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it in the light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debts.

The Group monitors capital using a gearing ratio, which is net debt divided by the capital plus net debt. Net debt includes trade and bills payables, other payables, interest-bearing bank and other borrowings and other long-

The Board of Directors

Xinjiang Goldwind Science & Technology Co., Ltd.

107 Shanghai Road Economic & Technological Development Zone Urumqi City Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region The PRC

Dear Sirs,

In accordance with your instructions to value the properties in which Xinjiang Goldwind Science & Technology Co., Ltd. (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries (hereinafter together referred to as the “Group”) have interests in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”), Germany and the United States of America, 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 31 March 2010 (the “date of valuation”).

Our valuation of the property interests represents the market value which we would define as “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. 3, 5, 6 and 12 in Group I, Group IV, property no. 26 in Group V by the direct comparison approach assuming sale of the property interests in their existing state with the benefit of immediate vacant possession and by making reference to comparable sales transactions as available in the relevant market.

Where, due to the nature of the buildings and structures of the properties in Group I (excluding property nos. 3, 5, 6 and 12), Group II and property no. 25 in Group Vand 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 replacing an asset with its modern equivalent asset 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 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 in Group III which are currently under development, we have assumed that they will be developed and completed in accordance with the latest development proposals provided to us by the Group. In arriving at our opinion of values, we have taken into account the construction costs and professional fees

– V-1 –

APPENDIX V

PROPERTY VALUATION

relevant to the stage of construction as at the date of valuation and the remainder of the costs and fees to be expended to complete the developments.

We have attributed no commercial value to the property interests in Group VI, Group VII and Group VIII, which are leased by the 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 rentals.

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 the requirements contained in Chapter 5 and Practice Note 12 to the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities issued by The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited; the RICS Valuation Standards (6th Edition) published by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors; and the HKIS Valuation Standards on Properties (1st Edition 2005) published by the Hong Kong Institute of Surveyors.

We have relied to a very considerable extent on the information given by the 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 (“LURCs”), Building Ownership Certificates (“BOCs”), and official plans relating to the property interests in the PRC and have caused searches to be made at the relevant title registries in respect of overseas properties. 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 given by the Company’s PRC legal advisers — Xinjiang Tianyang Law Firm, 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 Group. We have also sought confirmation from the 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.

TAXATION AND FOREIGN EXCHANGE

TAXATION OF SECURITY HOLDERS

The following is a summary of certain PRC and Hong Kong tax consequences of the ownership of H Shares by an investor that purchases such H Shares in connection with the Global Offering and holds the H Shares as capital assets. This summary does not purport to address all material tax consequences of the ownership of H Shares, and does not take into account the specific circumstances of any particular investors, some of which may be subject to special rules. This summary is based on the tax laws of the PRC and Hong Kong as in effect on the date hereof, as well as on the Agreement Between the U.S. and the PRC for the Avoidance of Double Taxation (the “ Treaty ”), all of which are subject to change (or changes in interpretation), possibly with retroactive effect.

For purposes of this section of the prospectus, an “Eligible U.S. Holder” is any beneficial owner of H Shares that (i) is a resident of the United States for purposes of the Treaty, (ii) does not maintain a permanent establishment or fixed base in the PRC to which H Shares are attributable and through which the beneficial owner carries on or has carried on business (or, in the case of an individual, performs or has performed independent personal services) and (iii) who is not otherwise ineligible for benefits under the Treaty with respect to income and gain derived in connection with the H Shares.

This section of the prospectus does not address any aspects of Hong Kong or PRC taxation other than income taxation, capital taxation, stamp taxation and estate taxation. Prospective investors are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the PRC, Hong Kong and other tax consequences of owning and disposing of H Shares.

PRC

Taxation of Dividends

Individual Investors. According to the Individual Income Tax Law of China ( ) (the “ Individual Income Tax Law ”), as amended on December 29, 2007 and effective on March 1, 2008, and the Provisional Regulations of China Concerning Questions of Taxation on Enterprises Experimenting with the Share System (

) (the “ Provisional Regulations ”), dividends paid by PRC companies are ordinarily subject to a PRC withholding tax levied at a flat rate of 20%. For a foreign individual who is not a resident of the PRC, the receipt of dividends from a company in the PRC is normally subject to a withholding tax of 20% unless specifically exempted by the tax authority of the State Council or reduced by an applicable tax treaty. However, the State Administration of Taxation, the PRC central government tax authority which succeeded the State Tax Bureau, issued, on July 21, 1993, a Notice of the State Administration of Taxation Concerning the Taxation of Gains on Transfer and Dividends from Shares (Equities) Received by Foreign Investment Enterprises, Foreign Enterprises and Foreign Individuals ( ) (the “ Tax Notice ”), which states that dividends paid by a PRC company to foreign individuals with respect to shares listed on an overseas stock exchange (“ Overseas Shares ”), such as H Shares, are temporarily not subject to PRC withholding tax.

In a letter dated July 26, 1994 to the former State Commission for Restructuring the Economic System, the State Council Securities Commission and the CSRC, the State Administration of Taxation reiterated the temporary tax exemption stated in the Tax Notice for dividends received from a PRC company listed overseas. In the event that this exemption is withdrawn, a 20% tax may be withheld on dividends in accordance with the Provisional Regulations, and the Individual Income Tax Law. Such withholding tax may be reduced pursuant to an applicable double taxation treaty. To date, the relevant tax authorities have not collected withholding tax from dividend payments on such shares exempted under the Tax Notice.

Enterprise. According to the Arrangement between the mainland China and Hong Kong for the Avoidance of Double Taxation on Income ( )

– VI-1 –

APPENDIX VI

TAXATION AND FOREIGN EXCHANGE

signed on August 21, 2006, the PRC Government may impose tax on dividends payable by a PRC company to a Hong Kong resident, but such tax shall not exceed 10% of the gross amount of dividends payable, and in the case where a Hong Kong resident holds 25% equity interest or more in a PRC company, such tax shall not exceed 5% of the gross amount of dividends payable by the PRC company.

According to the New EIT Law and the Provision for Implementation of Enterprise Income Tax Law of the PRC ( ) , which both became effective on 1 January 2008, the nonresident enterprises shall be subject to 10% enterprise tax for the income originated from the PRC provided that the non-resident enterprises do not establish offices or premises in the PRC, or where there are offices and premises established, there is no connection between the dividends and bonuses received and the offices or premises established by the non-resident enterprises. Such withholding tax may be reduced pursuant to an applicable double taxation treaty.

According to the Notice Regarding Questions on Withholding Enterprise Income tax When PRC Resident Enterprises Distribute Dividends to Non-resident Enterprise Shareholders of H Shares (Guoshuihan [2008]NO. 897) ( ) issued by the State Administration of Taxation ,which became effective on November 6, 2008, PRC enterprises should withhold enterprise income tax at a rate of 10% when they distribute dividends to non-resident enterprise shareholders of H shares from the year of 2008. Such withholding tax may be reduced pursuant to an applicable double taxation treaty.

Tax Treaties. Investors who do not reside in the PRC and reside in countries that have entered into double taxation treaties with the PRC may be entitled to a reduction of the withholding tax imposed on the payment of dividends to investors of our Company who do not reside in the PRC. The PRC currently has double-taxation treaties with many nations in the world, which include but not limited to:

  • k Australia;

  • k Canada;

  • k France;

  • k Germany;

  • k Japan;

  • k Malaysia;

  • k the Netherlands;

  • k Singapore;

  • k the United Kingdom; and

  • k the United States.

Under the Treaty, the PRC Government may tax a dividend paid by our Company to an Eligible U.S. Holder up to a maximum of 10% of the gross amount of such dividend.

Taxation of Capital Gains

The Tax Notice provides that gains realized by foreign enterprises that are holders of Overseas Shares and that these shares are not held by their offices and premises set up in the PRC would, temporarily, not be subject to capital gains taxes. With respect to individual holders of H shares, the Provision for Implementation of Individual Income Tax Law of the PRC ( ) (the “ Provisions ”) as amended on February 18, 2008, generally stipulate that gains derived from assignment of property shall be subject to income tax at a rate of

– VI-2 –

APPENDIX VI

TAXATION AND FOREIGN EXCHANGE

20%. In addition, the Provisions stipulate that measures for the levying of individual income tax on gains derived from the sale of equity securities shall be formulated separately by the Ministry of Finance and shall be implemented following approval of the State Council. However, no income tax on gains realized on the sale of equity shares has been collected. Gains on the sale of shares by individuals were temporarily exempted from individual income tax pursuant to notices issued jointly by the Ministry of Finance and State Administration of Taxation dated June 20, 1994, February 9, 1996 and March 30, 1998. In the event this temporary exemption is withdrawn or ceases to be effective, individual holders of H Shares may be subject to capital gains tax at the rate of 20% unless such tax is reduced or eliminated by an applicable double taxation treaty. If taxation on capital gains from the sale of H Shares becomes applicable, the Treaty may be interpreted such that the PRC may begin to charge tax on capital gains from the sale or disposition of H Shares by any Eligible U.S. Holder of 25% or more interest in our Company.

On November 18, 2000, the State Council issued a notice entitled State Council Notice on the Income Tax Reduction for Interest and Other Income that Foreign Enterprises Derive in the PRC ( ) (the “ Tax Reduction Notice ”). Under the Tax Reduction Notice, beginning January 1, 2000, enterprise income tax at a reduced 10% rate will apply to interest, rental, license fees and other income obtained in the PRC by foreign enterprises without agencies or establishment in the PRC, or by foreign enterprises without any substantive relationship with their agency or establishment in the PRC.

According to the New EIT Law and the Provision for Implementation of Enterprise Income Tax Law of the PRC ( ) , the non- resident enterprises shall be subject to 10% enterprise tax for the income originated from the PRC provided that the non-resident enterprises do not establish offices or premises in the PRC, or where there are offices and premises established, there is no connection between the gains received and the offices or premises established by the non-resident enterprises. Such withholding tax may be reduced pursuant to an applicable double taxation treaty.

Additional Chinese Tax Considerations

PRC Stamp Duty. PRC stamp duty imposed on the transfer of shares of PRC publicly traded companies under the Provisional Regulations should not apply to the acquisition and disposal by non-PRC investors of H Shares outside of the PRC by virtue of the Provisional Regulations of China Concerning Stamp Duty ( ) , which became effective on October 1, 1988 and which provide that PRC stamp duty is imposed only on documents, executed or received within the PRC that are legally binding in the PRC and are protected under PRC law.

Estate Tax. No liability for estate tax under PRC law will arise from non-PRC national’s holding of H shares.

HONG KONG

Tax on Dividends

Under the current practice of the Hong Kong Inland Revenue Department, no tax is payable in Hong Kong in respect of dividends paid by us.

Capital gains and profit tax

No tax is imposed in Hong Kong in respect of capital gains from the sale of the H shares. Trading gains from the sale of H shares by persons carrying on a trade, profession or business in Hong Kong, where such gains are derived from or arise in Hong Kong from such trade, profession or business, will be chargeable to Hong Kong profits

– VI-3 –

APPENDIX VI

TAXATION AND FOREIGN EXCHANGE

tax. Currently, profits tax is imposed on corporations at the rate of 16.5% and on unincorporated businesses at a maximum rate of 15.0%. Gains from sales of the H shares effected on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange will be considered to be derived from or arise in Hong Kong. Liability for Hong Kong profits tax would thus arise in respect of trading gains from sales of H shares effected on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange realized by persons carrying on a business of trading or dealing in securities in Hong Kong.

Stamp Duty

Hong Kong stamp duty will be payable by the purchaser on every purchase, and by the seller on every sale, of the H shares. The duty is charged at the ad valorem rate of 0.1% of the consideration for, or (if greater) the value of, the H shares transferred on each of the seller and purchaser. In other words, a total of 0.2% is currently payable on a typical sale and purchase transaction of H shares. In addition, a fixed duty of HK$5 is charged on each instrument of transfer (if required). Where a sale or purchase of H shares is effected by a person who is not a resident of Hong Kong and any stamp duty payable on the instrument of transfer is not paid, the relevant instrument of transfer (if any) shall be chargeable with such duty, together with the duty otherwise chargeable thereon, and the transferee shall be liable to pay such duty.

Estate Duty

The Revenue (Abolition of Estate Duty) Ordinance 2005 came into effect on February 11, 2006 in Hong Kong. No Hong Kong estate duty is payable and no estate duty clearance papers are needed for an application for a grant of representation in respect of holders of H shares whose deaths occur on or after February 11, 2006.

TAXATION OF THE COMPANY BY THE PRC

Income Tax

From January 1, 1994, income tax payable by PRC enterprises, including state-owned enterprises and share system enterprises, was governed by the PRC Enterprise Income Tax Provisional Regulations (the “ EIT Regulations ”) which took effect from 1 January 1994, and which provided for an income tax rate of 33% unless a lower rate is provided by law, administrative regulations or State Council regulations. Our Company was generally subject to tax at a rate of 33% pursuant to the EIT Regulations.

On 16 March 2007, the 10th NPC adopted the resolution to revise the EIT Regulations. The New EIT Law came into effect on 1 January 2008, according to which the enterprise income tax rate in the PRC was reduced from 33% to 25% and is in line with the rate applicable to foreign investment enterprises and foreign enterprises. At the same time, the Income Tax Law of the PRC Concerning Foreign Investment Enterprises and Foreign Enterprises and the EIT Regulations have ceased to be effective.

Sino-foreign joint ventures will be entitled to certain tax benefits during a term of transition under the relevant laws and regulations in the PRC. Following the completion of the Global Offering, our Company will remain ineligible to apply for the status of a sino-foreign investment joint stock limited liability company and does not intend to apply for such status. Nonetheless, pursuant to the applicable laws, rules and regulations in the PRC, no tax benefits would accrue to our Company upon acquiring such status.

Value-added Tax

Pursuant to the Provisional Regulations of the PRC Concerning Value Added Tax ( ) effective from January 1, 1994 which was amended in November 2008 and their implementing rules, the sale of products within the PRC, the importation of products and the provision of

– VI-4 –

APPENDIX VI

TAXATION AND FOREIGN EXCHANGE

processing and/or repair services within the PRC by our Company are subject to value-added tax (“ VAT ”). VAT payable is calculated as “output VAT” minus “input VAT”.

Business Tax

Pursuant to the Provisional Regulations of the PRC Concerning Business Tax ( ) effective from January 1, 1994 which was amended in November 2008 and the relevant implementing rules, a business tax is imposed on enterprises which provide taxable services, transfer intangible property or sell real estate in the PRC. The business tax is levied at a rate from 3% to 20% on the provision of taxable services, transfer of intangible property or sale of real estate in the PRC.

FOREIGN EXCHANGE CONTROL

The lawful currency of the PRC is the Renminbi, which is subject to foreign exchange controls and is not freely convertible into foreign exchange at this time. SAFE, under the authority of the PBOC, is empowered with the functions of administering all matters relating to foreign exchange, including the enforcement of foreign exchange control regulations.

On January 29, 1996, the State Council promulgated new Regulation of Foreign Exchange ( ) (the “ Foreign Exchange Regulations ”) which was effective from April 1, 1996. The Foreign Exchange Regulations classifies all international payments and transfers into current account items and capital account items. Most of the current account items are no longer subject to the approval from the SAFE while capital account items still are. The Foreign Exchange Regulations was subsequently amended on January 14, 1997 and on August 1, 2008. This latest amendment affirmatively states that the State shall not restrict international current account payments and transfers.

On June 20, 1996, the PBOC promulgated the Regulations for Administration of Settlement, Sale and Payment of Foreign Exchange ( ) (the “ Settlement Regulations ”) which took effect on July 1, 1996. The Settlement Regulations superseded the Provisional Regulations for the Administration of Settlement, Sale and Payment of Foreign Exchange and abolished the remaining restrictions on convertibility of foreign exchange in respect of current account items while retaining the existing restrictions on foreign exchange transactions in respect of capital account items.

On the basis of the Settlement Regulations, the PBOC also published the Announcement on the Implementation of Foreign Exchange Settlement and Sale at Banks by Foreign-invested Enterprises ( ) . The announcement permits foreign-invested enterprises to open, on the basis of their needs, foreign exchange settlement accounts for current account receipts and payments of foreign exchange along with specialized accounts for capital account receipts and payments at designated foreign exchange banks.

On October 25, 1998, PBOC and SAFE promulgated the Notice Concerning Closure of the Foreign Exchange Swap Business Activities ( ) pursuant to which and with effect from December 1, 1998, all foreign exchange swapping business in the PRC for foreign-invested enterprises shall be discontinued, while the trading of foreign exchange by foreign-invested enterprise shall come under the banking system for the settlement and sale of foreign exchange.

On July 21, 2005, the PBOC announced that from the same date, the PRC would implement a managed floating exchange rate system based on market supply and demand and with reference to a basket of currencies. Therefore, the Renminbi exchange rate was no longer pegged to the U.S. dollar only. The PBOC would announce the closing price of a foreign currency such as the U.S. dollar against the Renminbi in the inter-bank foreign

– VI-5 –

APPENDIX VI

TAXATION AND FOREIGN EXCHANGE

exchange market after the closing of the market on each working day. This closing price will be used as the middle price for quoting the Renminbi exchange rate on the following working day.

Since January 4, 2006, the PBOC improved the method of generating the middle price for quoting the Renminbi exchange rate by introducing an enquiry system while keeping the match-making system in the interbank spot foreign exchange market. In addition, the PBOC provided liquidity in the foreign exchange market by introducing the market-making system in the inter-bank foreign exchange market. After the introduction of the enquiry system, the generation of the middle price for quoting the Renminbi was transformed to a mechanism under which the PBOC authorized the China Foreign Exchange Trading System to determine and announce the middle price for quoting the Renminbi against the U.S. dollar, based on the enquiry system, at 9:15 am on each business day.

Save for foreign-invested enterprises or other enterprises which are specially exempted by relevant regulations, all entities in the PRC must sell their foreign exchange recurrent income to designated foreign exchange banks. Foreign exchange income from loans issued by organizations outside the territory or from the issuance of bonds and shares (for example foreign exchange income received by our Company from the sale of shares overseas) is not required to be sold to designated foreign exchange banks, but may be deposited in foreign exchange accounts at the designated foreign exchange banks.

PRC enterprises (including foreign-invested enterprises) which require foreign exchange for transactions relating to current account items, may, without the approval of SAFE, effect payment from their foreign exchange account or convert and pay at the designated foreign exchange banks, on the strength of valid receipts and proof of transactions. Foreign-invested enterprises which need foreign exchange for the distribution of profits to their shareholders, and PRC enterprises which in accordance with regulations are required to pay dividends to shareholders in foreign exchange, may on the strength of general meeting resolutions of such PRC enterprises or board resolutions on the distribution of profits, effect payment from their foreign exchange account or convert and pay at the designated foreign exchange banks.

Convertibility of foreign exchange in respect of capital account items, like direct investment and capital contribution, is still subject to restriction, and prior approval from SAFE and the relevant branch must be sought.

Dividends to holders of H Shares are fixed in Renminbi but must be paid in Hong Kong dollars.

We prepare our consolidated financial statements in Renminbi.

The PBOC sets and publishes daily a base exchange rate with reference primarily to the supply and demand of Renminbi against the U.S. dollar in the market during the prior day. The PBOC also takes into account other factors such as the general conditions existing in the international foreign exchange markets. Although the PRC Government introduced policies in 1996 to reduce restrictions on the convertibility of Renminbi into foreign currency for current account items, conversion of Renminbi into foreign exchange for capital items, such as foreign direct investment, loans or security, still requires the approval of SAFE and other relevant authorities.

SUMMARY OF PRINCIPAL LEGAL AND REGULATORY PROVISIONS

PRC JUDICIAL SYSTEM

Under the PRC Constitutional Law ( ) and the Law of Organization of the People’s Courts ( ) , the judicial system in PRC is made up of the Supreme People’s Court, the local people’s courts, military courts and other special people’s courts. The local people’s courts are comprised of the basic people’s courts, the intermediate people’s courts and the higher people’s courts. The basic people’s courts are organized into civil, criminal, and administrative divisions. The intermediate people’s courts are organized into divisions similar to those of the basic people’s courts, and are further organized into other special divisions, such as the intellectual property division. The higher level people’s courts supervise the basic and intermediate people’s courts. The people’s procuratorates also have the right to exercise legal supervision over the civil proceedings of people’s courts of the same level and lower levels. The Supreme People’s Court is the highest judicial body in the PRC. It supervises the administration of justice by all of the people’s courts.

The people’s courts employ a “second instance as final” appellate system. A party may appeal against a judgment or order of the people’s court of first instance to the people’s court at the next higher level. Second judgments or orders given at the next higher level are final. First judgments or orders of the Supreme People’s Court are also final. If, however, the Supreme People’s Court or a people’s court at a higher level finds an error in a judgment or order which has been given in any people’s court at a lower level, or the president of the people’s court finds an error in a judgment or order, the case may then be retried according to the judicial supervision procedures.

The Civil Procedure Law of the PRC ( ) (the “ PRC Civil Procedure Law ”), which was adopted on April 9, 1991 and amended on October 28, 2007, sets forth the criteria for instituting a civil action, the jurisdiction of the people’s courts, the procedures to be followed for conducting a civil action and the procedures for enforcement of a civil judgment or order. All parties to a civil action conducted within the PRC must comply with the PRC Civil Procedure Law. Generally, a civil case is initially heard by a local court of the municipality or province in which the defendant resides. The parties to a contract may, by an express agreement, select a jurisdiction where civil actions may be brought, provided that the jurisdiction is either the plaintiff’s or the defendant’s place of residence, the place of execution or implementation of the contract or the object of the action. However, such selection cannot violate the stipulations of grade jurisdiction and exclusive jurisdiction in any case.

A foreign individual or enterprise generally has the same litigation rights and obligations as a citizen or legal person of the PRC. If a foreign country’s judicial system limits the litigation rights of PRC citizens and enterprises, the PRC courts may apply the same limitations to the citizens and enterprises of that foreign country within the PRC. If any party to a civil action refuses to comply with a judgment or order made by a people’s court or an award granted by an arbitration panel in the PRC, the aggrieved party may apply to the people’s court to request for enforcement of the judgment, order or award. There are time limits imposed on the right to apply for such enforcement and the time limit is two year. If a person fails to satisfy a judgment made by the court within the stipulated time, the court will, upon application by either party, mandatorily enforce the judgment.

A party seeking to enforce a judgment or order of a people’s court against a party who is not located within the PRC and does not own any property in the PRC, may apply to a foreign court with proper jurisdiction for recognition and enforcement of the judgment or order. A foreign judgment or ruling may also be recognized and enforced by the people’s court according to the PRC enforcement procedures if the PRC has entered into, or acceded to, an international treaty with the relevant foreign country, which provides for such recognition and enforcement, or if the judgment or ruling satisfies the court’s examination according to the principle of reciprocity, unless the people’s court finds that the recognition or enforcement of such judgment or ruling will result in a violation of the basic legal principles of the PRC, its sovereignty or security, or for reasons of social and public interests.

APPENDIX VII SUMMARY OF PRINCIPAL LEGAL AND REGULATORY PROVISIONS

THE PRC COMPANY LAW, SPECIAL REGULATIONS AND MANDATORY PROVISIONS

On December 29, 1993, the Standing Committee of the Eighth NPC adopted the PRC Company Law which came into effect on July 1, 1994 and was amended for the first time on December 25, 1999, the second time on August 28, 2004 and the third time on October 27, 2005. The newly amended PRC Company Law has been promulgated and became effective from January 1, 2006.

On July 4, 1994, the Special Regulations were passed at the Twenty-Second Standing Committee Meeting of the State Council, and they were promulgated and implemented on August 4, 1994. The Special Regulations are formulated according to the provisions of Sections 85 and 155 of the PRC Company Law (1993) in respect of the overseas share subscription and listing of joint stock limited companies. The Mandatory Provisions were issued jointly by the Securities Commission and the State Economic Restructuring Commission on August 27, 1994, prescribing provisions which must be incorporated into the articles of association of joint stock limited companies to be listed overseas. Accordingly, the Mandatory Provisions have been incorporated in the Articles of Association (which are summarized in the appendix entitled “Appendix VIII — Summary of the Articles of Association” to this prospectus). References to a “company” are to a joint stock limited liability company established under the PRC Company Law with overseas listed foreign invested shares.

Copies of the Chinese text of the PRC Company Law, Special Regulations and the Mandatory Provisions together with copies of their unofficial English translations thereof are available for inspection as mentioned in the appendix entitled “Appendix X — Documents Delivered to the Registrar of Companies and Available for Inspection” to this prospectus.

General

A “joint stock limited liability company” (hereinafter referred to as “ company ”) is a corporate legal person incorporated under the PRC Company Law, whose registered capital is divided into shares of equal par value. The liability of its shareholders is limited to the extent of the shares held by them, and the liability of the company is limited to the full amount of all the assets owned by it.

A state-owned enterprise that is restructured into a company must comply with the conditions and requirements specified by law and administrative regulation, for the modification of its operation mechanisms, the systematic handling and evaluation of the company’s assets and liabilities and the establishment of internal management organs.

A company must conduct its business in accordance with law and professional ethics.

Incorporation

A company may be incorporated by promotion or subscription.

A company may be incorporated by two to 200 promoters, but at least half of the promoters must reside in the PRC.

Companies incorporated by promotion are companies with the registered capital entirely subscribed for by the promoters. Where companies are incorporated by subscription, the promoters are required to subscribe for not less than 35% of the total number of shares of a company, and the remaining shares can be offered to the public or specific persons, unless otherwise required by law.

The PRC Company Law has provided that the registered capital of a joint stock limited liability company is a minimum of RMB5 million. For companies incorporated by way of promotion, the registered capital has to be the total capital subscribed for by all promoters as registered with the relevant administration bureau for industry and

– VII-2 –

APPENDIX VII SUMMARY OF PRINCIPAL LEGAL AND REGULATORY PROVISIONS

commerce; for companies established by way of public subscription, the registered capital is the amount of total paid-up capital as registered with the relevant administration bureau for industry and commerce.

Pursuant to the Securities Law, the total capital of a company which proposes to apply for its shares to be listed on a stock exchange must not be less than RMB30 million.

The promoters shall convene an inaugural meeting within 30 days after the issued shares have been fully paid up, and shall give notice to all subscribers or make a public announcement of the date of the inaugural meeting 15 days before the meeting. The inaugural meeting may be convened only with the presence of shareholders holding shares representing more than 50% of the total issued shares of the company. At the inaugural meeting, matters including the adoption of draft articles of association proposed by the promoter(s) and the election of the board of directors and the supervisory committee of the company will be dealt with. All resolutions of the meeting require the approval of subscribers with more than half of the voting rights present at the meeting.

Within 30 days after the conclusion of the inaugural meeting, the board of directors shall apply to the registration authority for registration of the establishment of the company.

A company is formally established and has the status of a legal person after the approval for registration has been given by the relevant administration bureau for industry and commerce and a business license has been issued.

A company’s promoters shall individually and collectively be liable for: (i) the payment of all expenses and liabilities incurred in the incorporation process if the company cannot be incorporated; (ii) the repayment of subscription monies to the subscribers together with interest at bank rates for a deposit of the same term if the company cannot be incorporated; and (iii) damages suffered by the company as a result of the default of the promoters in the course of incorporation of the company.

Share Capital

The promoters of a company can make capital contributions in cash, or in kind, that can be valued in currency and transferable according to law such as intellectual property rights or land use rights based on their appraised value provided that the amount of capital contribution in cash by all shareholders must not be less than 30% of a company’s registered capital.

If capital contribution is made other than in cash, valuation and verification of the property contributed must be carried out and converted into shares.

A company may issue registered or bearer share. However, shares issued to promoter(s) or legal person(s) shall be in the form of registered share and shall be registered under the name(s) of such promoter(s) or legal person(s) and shall not be registered under a different name or the name of a representative.

The Special Regulations and the Mandatory Provisions provide that shares issued to foreign investors and listed overseas shall be issued in registered form and shall be denominated in Renminbi and subscribed for in foreign currency.

Under the Special Regulations and the Mandatory Provisions, shares issued to foreign investors and investors from the territories of Hong Kong, the Macau Special Administrative Region of the PRC and Taiwan and listed overseas are known as overseas listed foreign invested shares, and those shares issued to investors within the PRC other than the territories specified above are known as domestic shares.

A company may offer its shares to the public overseas with approval by the securities administration department of the State Council. Specific measures shall be specifically formulated by the State Council. Under the Special Regulations, upon approval of CSRC, a company may agree, in the underwriting agreement in respect of an

– VII-3 –

APPENDIX VII SUMMARY OF PRINCIPAL LEGAL AND REGULATORY PROVISIONS

issue of overseas listed foreign invested shares, to retain not more than 15% of the aggregate number of overseas listed foreign invested shares proposed to be issued after accounting for the number of underwritten shares.

The share offering price may be equal to or greater than par value, but shall not be less than par value.

The transfer of shares by shareholders should be conducted via the legally established stock exchange or in accordance with other methods as stipulated by the State Council. Transfer of registered shares by a shareholder must be made by means of an endorsement or by other means stipulated by laws or by administrative regulations. Bearer shares are transferred by delivery of the share certificates to the transferee.

Shares held by a promoter of a company shall not be transferred within one year after the date of the company’s incorporation. Shares issued by a company prior to the public offer of its shares shall not be transferred within one year from the date of listing of the shares of the company on a stock exchange. Directors, supervisors and senior management of a company shall not transfer over 25% of the total shares held by each of them in the company each year during their term of office, and shall not transfer any share of the company held by each of them within one year after the listing date. There is no restriction under the PRC Company Law as to the percentage of shareholding a single shareholder may hold in a company.

Transfers of shares may not be entered in the register of shareholders within 20 days before the date of a shareholders’ meeting or within five days before the record date set for the purpose of distribution of dividends.

Increase in Capital

Under the PRC Company Law, an increase in the capital of a company by means of an issue of new shares must be approved by shareholders in general meeting.

Save for the abovementioned condition of obtaining approval at the general meetings required by the PRC Company Law, for the public offering of new shares, the Securities Law provides that the company shall: (i) have a sound organizational structure with satisfactory operating record; (ii) have the capability of continuing profitability and a healthy financial position; (iii) have no false statements and other material breaches in the financial and accounting documents of the last three years; (iv) fulfill other conditions required by the securities administration department of the State Council as approved by the State Council.

Public offer requires the approval of the securities administration department of the State Council.

After payment in full for the new shares issued, a company must change its registration with the relevant state bureau for the administration for industry and commerce and issue a public notice accordingly.

Reduction of Share Capital

Subject to the minimum registered capital requirements, a company may reduce its registered capital in accordance with the following procedures prescribed by the PRC Company Law:

  • (i) the company shall prepare a balance sheet and an inventory of the assets;

  • (ii) the reduction of registered capital must be approved by shareholders in general meeting;

  • (iii) the company shall inform its creditors of the reduction in capital within ten days and publish an announcement of the reduction in the newspaper within 30 days after the resolution approving the reduction has been passed;

– VII-4 –

APPENDIX VII SUMMARY OF PRINCIPAL LEGAL AND REGULATORY PROVISIONS

  • (v) the company must apply to the relevant administration bureau for industry and commerce for registration of the reduction in registered capital.

Repurchase of Shares

A company may not purchase its own shares other than for the purpose of:

  • (i) reducing its capital by canceling its shares or merging with another company holding its shares;

  • (ii) granting shares as a reward to the staff of the company; or

  • (iii) purchasing the company’s own shares upon request of its shareholders who vote against the resolution regarding the merger or division of the company in a general meeting.

The shares of the company to be repurchased by itself as a reward to its staff shall not exceed 5% of the total number of its issued shares. Any funds for such purpose shall be paid out of after-tax profits of the company, and the shares so purchased shall be transferred to the company’s staff within a year. The Mandatory Provisions provide that upon obtaining approvals in accordance with the articles of association of the company and from the relevant supervisory authorities, a company may repurchase its issued shares for the foregoing purposes by way of a general offer to its shareholders or purchase on a stock exchange or an off-market contract.

Transfer of Shares

Shares may be transferred in accordance with the relevant laws and regulations.

Shareholders

APPENDIX VII SUMMARY OF PRINCIPAL LEGAL AND REGULATORY PROVISIONS

wishing to attend are required to give to the company written confirmation of their attendance 20 days prior to the meeting. Under the Special Regulations, at an annual general meeting of a company, shareholders holding 5% or more of the voting rights in the company are entitled to propose to the company in writing new resolutions to be considered at that meeting, which if within the powers of a shareholders’ general meeting, are required to be added to the agenda of that meeting.

Shareholders may entrust a proxy to attend shareholders’ general meetings on his or her behalf by a power of attorney which sets out the scope of exercising the voting rights.

There is no specific provision in the PRC Company Law regarding the number of shareholders constituting a quorum in a shareholders’ meeting. However, the Special Regulations and the Mandatory Provisions provide that a company’s annual general meeting may be convened when replies to the notice of that meeting from shareholders holding shares representing 50% or more of the voting rights in the company have been received 20 days before the proposed date, or if that 50% level is not achieved, the company shall within five days of the last day for receipt of the replies notify shareholders by public announcement of the matters to be considered at the meeting and the date and place of the meeting and the annual general meeting may be held thereafter. The Mandatory Provisions require class meetings to be held in the event of a variation or derogation of the class rights of a class. Holders of domestic invested shares and holders of overseas listed foreign invested shares are deemed to be different classes of shareholders for this purpose.

Merger and Demerger

Companies may merge through merger by absorption or through the establishment of a newly merged entity. If it merges by absorption, the company which is absorbed shall be dissolved. If it merges by forming a new corporation, both companies will be dissolved.

SECURITIES LAW AND REGULATIONS

The PRC has promulgated a number of regulations that relate to the issue and trading of the Shares and disclosure of information by us. In October 1992, the State Council established the Securities Committee and the CSRC. The Securities Committee was responsible for co-ordinating the drafting of securities regulations, formulating securities-related policies, planning the development of securities markets, directing, coordinating and supervising all securities-related institutions in the PRC and administering the CSRC. The CSRC was the regulatory body of the Securities Committee and responsible for the drafting of regulatory provisions of securities markets, supervising securities companies, regulating public offers of securities by PRC companies in the PRC or overseas, regulating the trading of securities, compiling securities-related statistics and undertaking research and analysis. In 1998, the State Council dissolved the Securities Committee and assigned its function to the CSRC. The CSRC is also responsible for the regulation and supervision of the national stocks and futures market according to laws, regulations and authorizations.

The Securities Law took effect on July 1, 1999 and was revised for the first time on August 28, 2004 and the second time on October 27, 2005. This is the first national securities law in the PRC, and it is divided into

– VII-14 –

APPENDIX VII SUMMARY OF PRINCIPAL LEGAL AND REGULATORY PROVISIONS

12 chapters and 240 articles regulating, among other things, the issue and trading of securities, takeovers by listed companies, securities exchanges, securities companies and the duties and responsibilities of the State Council’s securities regulatory authorities. The Securities Law comprehensively regulates activities in the PRC securities market. Article 238 of the Securities Law provides that a PRC company must obtain prior approval from the State Council’s regulatory authorities to list its shares outside the PRC. Article 239 of the Securities Law provides that specific measures in respect of shares of companies in the PRC which are to be subscribed and traded in foreign currencies shall be separately formulated by the State Council. Currently, the issue and trading of foreign issued shares (including H Shares) are still mainly governed by the rules and regulations promulgated by the State Council and the CSRC.

ARBITRATION AND ENFORCEMENT OF ARBITRAL AWARDS

The Arbitration Law of the PRC ( ) (the “ Arbitration Law ”) was passed by the Standing Committee of the NPC on August 31, 1994 and became effective on September 1, 1995. It is applicable to contract disputes and other property disputes between natural person, legal person and other organizations where the parties have entered into a written agreement to refer the matter to arbitration before an arbitration committee constituted in accordance with the Arbitration Law. Under the Arbitration Law, an arbitration committee may, before the promulgation by the PRC Arbitration Association of arbitration regulations, formulate interim arbitration rules in accordance with the Arbitration Law and the PRC Civil Procedure Law. Where the parties have by agreement provided arbitration as the method for dispute resolution, the people’s court will refuse to handle the case.

The Listing Rules and the Mandatory Provisions require an arbitration clause to be included in the Articles of Association and, in the case of the Listing Rules, also in contracts with each of the Directors and Supervisors, to the effect that whenever any disputes or claims arise between holders of the H Shares and us; holders of the H Shares and the Directors, Supervisors, manager or other senior officers; or holders of the H Shares and holders of domestic Shares, in respect of any disputes or claims in relation to our affairs or as a result of any rights or obligations arising under the Articles of Association, the PRC Company Law or other relevant laws and administrative regulations, such disputes or claims shall be referred to arbitration.

Where a dispute or claim of rights referred to in the preceding paragraph is referred to arbitration, the entire claim or dispute must be referred to arbitration, and all persons who have a cause of action based on the same facts giving rise to the dispute or claim or whose participation is necessary for the resolution of such dispute or claim, shall comply with the arbitration. Disputes in respect of the definition of shareholders and disputes in relation to our register of shareholders need not be resolved by arbitration.

A claimant may elect for arbitration to be carried out at either the China International Economic and Trade Arbitration Commission (“ CIETAC ”) in accordance with its rules or the Hong Kong International Arbitration Center (“ HKIAC ”) in accordance with its securities arbitration rules. Once a claimant refers a dispute or claim to arbitration, the other party must submit to the arbitral body elected by the claimant. If the claimant elects for arbitration to be carried out at the HKIAC, any party to the dispute or claim may apply for a hearing to take place in Shenzhen in accordance with the securities arbitration rules of the HKIAC.

Under the Arbitration Law and the PRC Civil Procedure Law, an arbitral award is final and binding on the parties. If a party fails to comply with an award, the other party to the award may apply to the people’s court for enforcement. A people’s court may refuse to enforce an arbitral award made by an arbitration commission if there is any procedural or membership irregularity specified by law or the award exceeds the scope of the arbitration agreement or is outside the jurisdiction of the arbitration commission.

– VII-15 –

APPENDIX VII SUMMARY OF PRINCIPAL LEGAL AND REGULATORY PROVISIONS

A party seeking to enforce an arbitral award of PRC arbitration panel against a party who, or whose property, is not within the PRC, may apply to a foreign court with jurisdiction over the case for enforcement. Similarly, an arbitral award made by a foreign arbitration body may be recognized and enforced by the PRC courts in accordance with the principles of reciprocity or any international treaty concluded or acceded to by the PRC. The PRC acceded to the Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards ( ) (the “ New York Convention ”) adopted on June 10, 1958 pursuant to a resolution of the Standing Committee of the NPC passed on December 2, 1986. The New York Convention provides that all arbitral awards made in a state which is a party to the New York Convention shall be recognized and enforced by other parties to the New York Convention, subject to their right to refuse enforcement under certain circumstances, including where the enforcement of the arbitral award is against the public policy of the State to which the application for enforcement is made. It was declared by the Standing Committee of the NPC simultaneously with the accession of the PRC that (i) the PRC will only recognize and enforce foreign arbitral awards on the principle of reciprocity and (ii) the PRC will only apply the New York Convention in disputes considered under PRC laws to arise from contractual and non-contractual mercantile legal relations.

In June 1999, an arrangement was made between Hong Kong and the Supreme People’s Court for the mutual enforcement of arbitral awards. This new arrangement was approved by the Supreme People’s Court and the Hong Kong Legislative Council, and became effective on February 1, 2000. The arrangement is made in accordance with the spirit of the New York Convention. Under the arrangement, awards made by PRC arbitral authorities pursuant to the Arbitration Law can be enforced in Hong Kong. Hong Kong arbitration awards made under the Arbitration Ordinance of Hong Kong are also enforceable in the PRC.

ESTABLISHMENT OF OVERSEAS OPERATIONS RULES AND REGULATIONS

According to the Foreign Exchange Control Regulations for Overseas Investments ( ) , which was formulated by SAFE and approved by the State Council, upon obtaining approval from the MOFCOM to establish enterprises overseas, PRC enterprises shall apply for foreign exchange registration for overseas investments. According to the Verification and Approval of Overseas Investment Projects Tentative Administrative ( ) , promulgated by the NDRC, investment projects involving the use of a large amount of foreign exchange would require the verification and approval by the NDRC or the State Council. If there is any change with respect to the investor or equity holding of a project that has been verified and approved, an application for amendment shall be made to the NDRC.

HONG KONG LAWS AND REGULATIONS

Company Law

The Hong Kong law applicable to a company having share capital incorporated in Hong Kong is based on the Companies Ordinance and is supplemented by common law. Our Company, which is a joint stock limited liability company established in the PRC, is governed by the PRC Company Law and all other rules and regulations promulgated pursuant to the PRC Company Law applicable to a joint stock limited liability company established in the PRC issuing overseas listed foreign shares to be listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.

Set out below is a summary of the material differences between the Companies Ordinance applicable to a company incorporated in Hong Kong and the PRC Company Law applicable to a joint stock limited liability

– VII-16 –

APPENDIX VII SUMMARY OF PRINCIPAL LEGAL AND REGULATORY PROVISIONS

company incorporated and existing under the PRC Company Law. This summary is, however, not intended to be an exhaustive comparison:

(i) Corporate existence

Under Companies Ordinance, a company having share capital is incorporated by the Registrar of Companies in Hong Kong issuing a certificate of incorporation and upon its incorporation, a company will acquire an independent corporate existence. A company may be incorporated as a public company or a private company.

Under the PRC Company Law, a joint stock limited liability company may be incorporated by either the promotion method or the subscription method. A joint stock limited liability company must have a minimum registered capital of RMB5 million, or higher as may otherwise be required by the laws and regulations. Hong Kong law does not prescribe any minimum capital requirements for a Hong Kong company. Under the PRC Company Law, the monetary contributions by all the shareholders must not be less than 30% of the registered capital. There is no such restriction on a Hong Kong company under Hong Kong law.

(ii) Share capital

Under Hong Kong law, the authorized share capital of a Hong Kong company is the amount of share capital which the company is authorized to issue and a company is not bound to issue the entire amount of its authorized share capital. For a Hong Kong company, the authorized share capital may be larger than the issued share capital. Hence, the directors of a Hong Kong company may, with the prior approval of the shareholders, if required, cause the company to issue new shares. The PRC Company Law does not recognize the concept of authorized share capital. The registered capital of a joint stock limited liability company is the amount of the issued share capital. Any increase in registered capital must be approved by the shareholders in general meeting and by the relevant governmental and regulatory authorities in the PRC.

Under the PRC Company Law, a company which is authorized by the relevant securities administration authority to list its shares on a stock exchange must have a registered capital of not less than RMB30 million. Hong Kong law does not prescribe any minimum capital requirements for companies incorporated in Hong Kong.

Under the PRC Company Law, the shares may be subscribed for in the form of money or non-monetary assets (other than assets not entitled to be used as capital contributions under relevant laws and administrative regulations). For non-monetary assets to be used as capital contributions, appraisals and verification must be carried out to ensure no overvaluation or under-valuation of the assets. The monetary contribution shall not be less than 30% of a joint stock limited liability company’s registered capital. There is no such restriction on a Hong Kong company under Hong Kong law.

(iii) Restrictions on shareholding and transfer of shares

Under PRC law, the domestic shares in the share capital of a joint stock limited liability company which are denominated and subscribed for in Renminbi may only be subscribed or traded by the State, PRC legal and natural persons. The overseas listed foreign shares issued by a joint stock limited liability company which are denominated in Renminbi and subscribed for in a currency other than Renminbi may only be subscribed and traded by investors from Hong Kong, the Macau Special Administrative Region of the PRC and Taiwan or any country and territory outside the PRC.

Under the PRC Company Law, shares in a joint stock limited liability company held by its promoters cannot be transferred within one year after the date of establishment of the company. Shares in issue prior to the company’s public offering cannot be transferred within one year from the listing date of the shares on the Hong Kong Stock

– VII-17 –

APPENDIX VII SUMMARY OF PRINCIPAL LEGAL AND REGULATORY PROVISIONS

Exchange. Shares in a joint stock limited liability company held by its directors, supervisors and managers and transferred each year during their term of office shall not exceed 25% of the total shares they held in the company, and the shares they held in the company cannot be transferred within one year from the listing date of the shares, and also cannot be transferred within half a year after the said personnel has left office. The articles of association may set other restrictive requirements on the transfer of the company’s shares held by its directors, supervisors and officers. There are no such restrictions on shareholdings and transfers of shares under Hong Kong law apart from the six-month lock up on our Company’s issue of shares and the 12-month lock up on controlling shareholders’ disposal of shares, as illustrated by the undertakings given by our Company to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange as described in the section entitled “Underwriting” in this prospectus.

(iv) Financial assistance for acquisition of shares

The PRC Company Law does not contain any provision prohibiting or restricting a joint stock limited liability company or its subsidiaries from providing financial assistance for the purpose of an acquisition of its own or its holding company’s shares. The Mandatory Provisions contain certain restrictions on a company and its subsidiaries providing such financial assistance similar to those under Companies Ordinance.

(v) Variation of class rights

The PRC Company Law makes no specific provision relating to variation of class rights. However, the PRC Company Law states that the State Council can promulgate regulations relating to other kinds of shares. The Mandatory Provisions contain elaborate provisions relating to the circumstances which are deemed to be variation of class rights and the approval procedures required to be followed in respect thereof. These provisions have been incorporated in the Articles of Association, which are summarized in the appendix entitled “Appendix VIII — Summary of the Articles of Association” to this prospectus. Under Companies Ordinance, no rights attached to any class of shares can be varied except (i) with the approval of a special resolution of the holders of the relevant class at a separate meeting, (ii) with the consent in writing of the holders of three-fourths in nominal value of the issued shares of the class in question, (iii) by agreement of all the members of the company or (iv) if there are provisions in the articles of association relating to the variation of those rights, then in accordance with those provisions.

Our Company (as required by the Listing Rules and the Mandatory Provisions) have adopted in the Articles of Association provisions protecting class rights in a similar manner to those found in Hong Kong law. Holders of overseas listed shares and domestic listed shares are defined in the Articles of Association as different classes, except in the case of (i) where our Company issues, upon the approval by special resolution of the Shareholders in general meeting, either separately or concurrently once every 12 months, not more than 20% of each of our existing issued domestic Shares or overseas-listed foreign-invested Shares; (ii) where our Company completes, with 15 months from the date on which approval is given by the securities regulatory authorities of the State Council, our plan (made at the time of our establishment) to issue domestic Shares and overseas-listed foreign-invested Shares; and (iii) where the Shares registered on our domestic Share register may be transferred to overseas investors, and such transferred Shares may be listed or traded on an overseas stock exchange, subject to the approval of the securities regulatory authorities of the State Council.

(vi) Directors

The PRC Company Law, unlike Companies Ordinance, does not contain any requirements relating to the declaration of interests in material contracts, restrictions on interested directors being counted towards the quorum of and voting at a meeting of the board of directors at which a transaction in which a director is interested is being considered, restrictions on directors’ authority in making major dispositions, restrictions on companies providing

– VII-18 –

APPENDIX VII SUMMARY OF PRINCIPAL LEGAL AND REGULATORY PROVISIONS

certain benefits such as loans to directors and guarantees in respect of directors’ liability and prohibition against compensation for loss of office without shareholders’ approval. The Mandatory Provisions, however, contain requirements and restrictions in relation to the foregoing matters similar to those applicable under Hong Kong law.

(vii) Supervisory committee

Under the PRC Company Law, the board of directors and managers of a joint stock limited liability company is subject to the supervision and inspection of a supervisory committee but there is no mandatory requirement for the establishment of a supervisory committee for a company incorporated in Hong Kong. The Mandatory Provisions provide that each supervisor owes a duty, in the exercise of his powers, to act in good faith and honestly in what he considers to be in the best interests of the company and to exercise the care, diligence and skill that a reasonably prudent person would exercise under comparable circumstances.

(viii) Derivative action by minority shareholders

Hong Kong law permits minority shareholders to start a derivative action on behalf of a company against directors who have been guilty of a breach of their fiduciary duties to the company, if such directors control a majority of votes at a general meeting thereby effectively preventing a company from suing the directors in breach of their duties in its own name. The PRC Company Law gives shareholders of a joint stock limited liability company the right that in the event that the directors and senior managers violate their fiduciary obligations to a company, shareholders individually or jointly holding over 1% of the shares in the company for more than 180 days consecutively may request in writing the supervisory committee to initiate proceedings in the people’s court. In the event that the supervisory committee violates their fiduciary obligations to a company, the above said shareholders may request in writing the board of directors to initiate proceedings in the people’s court. Upon receipt of such request in writing from the shareholders, if the supervisory committee or the board of directors refuse to initiate such proceedings, or has not initiated proceedings within 30 days upon receipt of the request, or if under urgent situations, failure of initiating immediate proceeding may cause irremediable damages to the company, the above said shareholders shall for the benefit of the company’s interests, have the right to initiate proceedings directly to the court in its own name.

The Mandatory Provisions further provide remedies to the company against directors, supervisors and officers in breach of their duties to the company. In addition, every director and supervisor of a joint stock limited liability company applying for a listing of its foreign shares on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange is required to give an undertaking in favor of the company to comply with the company’s articles of association. This allows minority shareholders to act against directors and supervisors in default.

(ix) Protection of minorities

Under Hong Kong law, a shareholder who complains that the affairs of a company incorporated in Hong Kong are conducted in a manner unfairly prejudicial to his interests may petition to court to either wind up the company or make an appropriate order regulating the affairs of the company. In addition, on the application of a specified number of members, the Financial Secretary may appoint inspectors who are given extensive statutory powers to investigate the affairs of a company incorporated in Hong Kong. The PRC Company Law does not contain similar safeguards. The Mandatory Provisions, however, contain provisions to the effect that a controlling shareholder may not exercise its voting rights in a manner prejudicial to the interests of the shareholders generally or of some part of the shareholders of a company to relieve a director or supervisor of his duty to act honestly in the best interests of the company or to approve the expropriation by a director or supervisor of the company’s assets or the individual rights of other shareholders.

APPENDIX VII

SUMMARY OF PRINCIPAL LEGAL AND REGULATORY PROVISIONS

(x) Notice of shareholders’ meetings

Under the PRC Company Law, notice of a shareholders’ general meeting must be given 20 days before the meeting, while notice of an extraordinary meeting must be given 15 days before the meeting or, in the case of a company having bearer shares, a public announcement of a shareholders’ general meeting must be made 30 days prior to it being held. Under the Special Regulations and the Mandatory Provisions, 45 days’ written notice must be given to all shareholders and shareholders who wish to attend the meeting must reply in writing 20 days before the date of the meeting. For a company incorporated in Hong Kong, the minimum notice periods of a general meeting convened for passing an ordinary resolution and a special resolution are 14 days and 21 days, respectively; and the notice period for an annual general meeting is 21 days.

(xi) Quorum for shareholders’ meetings

Under Hong Kong law, the quorum for a general meeting is two members unless the articles of association of the company otherwise provide. For one member companies, one member will be a quorum. The PRC Company Law does not specify any quorum requirement for shareholders’ general meeting but the Special Regulations and the Mandatory Provisions provide that a company’s general meeting can be convened when replies to the notice of that meeting have been received from shareholders whose shares represent 50% of the voting rights in the company at least 20 days before the proposed date of the meeting. If that 50% level is not achieved, the company shall within five days notify shareholders by public announcement and the shareholders’ general meeting may be held thereafter.

(xii) Voting

Under Hong Kong law, an ordinary resolution is passed by a simple majority of votes cast by members present in person or by proxy at a general meeting and a special resolution is passed by a majority of not less than threefourths of votes cast by members present in person or by proxy at a general meeting. Under the PRC Company Law, the passing of any resolution requires more than one half of the votes cast by shareholders present in person or by proxy at a shareholders’ general meeting except in cases of proposed amendment to the articles of association, increase or reduction of share capital, and merger, demerger or dissolution of a joint stock limited liability company or changes to the company status, which require two-thirds or more of votes cast by shareholders present at a shareholders’ general meeting.

(xiii) Financial disclosure

A joint stock limited liability company is required under the PRC Company Law to make available at its office for inspection by shareholders its annual balance sheet, profit and loss account, changes in financial position and other relevant annexures 20 days before an annual general meeting. In addition, a company established by the public subscription method under the PRC Company Law must publish its financial situation. The annual balance sheet has to be verified by registered accountants. The Companies Ordinance requires a company to send to every shareholder a copy of its balance sheet, auditors’ report and directors’ report which are to be tabled before the company in its annual general meeting not less than 21 days before such meeting.

A joint stock limited liability company is required under the PRC law to prepare its financial statements in accordance with the PRC accounting standards. The Mandatory Provisions require that the company must, in addition to preparing accounts according to the PRC GAAP, have its accounts prepared and audited in accordance with IFRS or Hong Kong accounting standards and its financial statements must also contain a statement of the financial effect of the material differences (if any) from the financial statements prepared in accordance with the PRC GAAP.

– VII-20 –

APPENDIX VII SUMMARY OF PRINCIPAL LEGAL AND REGULATORY PROVISIONS

The Special Regulations require that there should not be any inconsistency between the information disclosed within and outside the PRC and that, to the extent that there are differences in the information disclosed in accordance with the relevant PRC and overseas laws, regulations and requirements of the relevant stock exchanges, such differences should also be disclosed simultaneously.

(xiv) Information on directors and shareholders

The PRC Company Law gives shareholders the right to inspect the articles of association, minutes of the shareholders’ general meetings and financial and accounting reports. Under the Articles of Association, shareholders have the right to inspect and copy (at reasonable charges) certain information on shareholders and on directors similar to that available to shareholders of Hong Kong companies under Hong Kong law.

(xv) Receiving agent

Under both the PRC and Hong Kong law, dividends once declared become debts payable to shareholders. The limitation period for debt recovery action under Hong Kong law is six years while that under the PRC law is two years. The Mandatory Provisions require the appointment of a trust company registered under the Hong Kong Trustee Ordinance (Chapter 29 of the Laws of Hong Kong) as a receiving agent to receive on behalf of holders of foreign shares dividends declared and all other monies owed by a joint stock limited liability company in respect of such foreign shares.

(xvi) Corporate reorganization

Corporate reorganization involving a company incorporated in Hong Kong may be effected in a number of ways, such as a transfer of the whole or part of the business or property of the company in the course of being wound up voluntarily to another company pursuant to section 237 of the Companies Ordinance or a compromise or arrangement between the company and its creditors or between the company and its members pursuant to section 166 of the Companies Ordinance which requires the sanction of the court. Under PRC law, the merger, demerger, dissolution or change to the status of a joint stock limited liability company has to be approved by shareholders in general meeting.

(xvii) Arbitration of disputes

In Hong Kong, disputes between shareholders and a company incorporated in Hong Kong or its directors may be resolved through the courts. The Mandatory Provisions provide that such disputes should be submitted to arbitration at either the HKIAC or the CIETAC, at the claimant’s choice.

(xviii)Mandatory transfers

Under the PRC Company Law, a joint stock limited liability company is required to make transfers equivalent to certain prescribed percentages of its after tax profit to the statutory common reserve fund. There are no such requirements under Hong Kong law.

(xix) Remedies of a company

Under the PRC Company Law, if a director, supervisor or manager in carrying out his duties infringes any law, administrative regulation or the articles of association of a company, which results in damage to the company, that director, supervisor or manager should be responsible to the company for such damages. In addition, in compliance with the Mandatory Provisions, the Articles of Association set out remedies to our Company similar to those available under Hong Kong law (including recovery of profits made by a director, supervisor or officer).

APPENDIX VII

SUMMARY OF PRINCIPAL LEGAL AND REGULATORY PROVISIONS

(xx) Dividends

The articles of association of a company empower the company to withhold, and pay to the relevant tax authorities, any tax payable under PRC law on any dividends or other distributions payable to a shareholder. Under Hong Kong law, the limitation period for an action to recover a debt (including the recovery of dividends) is six years, whereas under PRC laws, the relevant limitation period is two years. A company shall not exercise its powers to forfeit any unclaimed dividend in respect of its listed foreign shares until after the expiry of the applicable limitation period.

(xxi) Fiduciary duties

In Hong Kong, there is the common law concept of the fiduciary duty of directors. Under the PRC Company Law and the Special Regulations, directors, supervisors, officers, and managers owe a fiduciary duty towards a company and are not permitted to engage in any activities which compete with or damage the interests of the company.

(xxii) Closure of register of shareholders

The Companies Ordinance requires that the register of shareholders of a company must not generally be closed for the registration of transfers of shares for more than 30 days (extendable to 60 days in certain circumstances) in a year, whereas the articles of association of a company provide, as required by the PRC Company Law and the Mandatory Provisions, that share transfers may not be registered within 30 days before the date of a shareholders’ meeting or within five days before the record date set for the purpose of distribution of dividends.

Listing Rules

The Listing Rules provide additional requirements which apply to an issuer which is incorporated in the PRC as a joint stock limited liability company and seeks a primary listing or whose primary listing is on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. Set out below is a summary of such principal additional requirements which apply to our Company:

(i) Compliance Advisor

A company seeking listing on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange is required to appoint a compliance advisor acceptable to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange for the period from its listing date up to the date of the publication of its first full year’s financial results, to provide the company with professional advice on continuous compliance with the Listing Rules and all other applicable laws, regulations, rules, codes and guidelines, and to act at all times, in addition to the company’s two authorized representatives, as the principal channel of communication with the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. The appointment of the compliance advisor may not be terminated until a replacement acceptable to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange has been appointed.

If the Hong Kong Stock Exchange is not satisfied that the compliance advisor is fulfilling its responsibilities adequately, it may require the company to terminate the compliance advisor’s appointment and appoint a replacement.

The compliance advisor must keep the company informed on a timely basis of changes in the Listing Rules and any new or amended law, regulation or code in Hong Kong applicable to the company. It must act as the company’s principal channel of communication with the Hong Kong Stock Exchange if the authorized representatives of the company are expected to be frequently outside Hong Kong.

APPENDIX VII

SUMMARY OF PRINCIPAL LEGAL AND REGULATORY PROVISIONS

(ii) Accountants’ report

An accountants’ report for a PRC issuer will not normally be regarded as acceptable by the Hong Kong Stock Exchange unless the relevant accounts have been audited to a standard comparable to that required in Hong Kong. Such report will normally be required to conform to either Hong Kong or international accounting standards.

(iii) Process agent

Our Company is required to appoint and maintain a person authorized to accept service of process and notices on its behalf in Hong Kong throughout the period during which its securities are listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and must notify the Hong Kong Stock Exchange of his appointment, the termination of his appointment and his contact particulars.

(iv) Public shareholdings

If at any time there are existing issued securities of a PRC issuer other than foreign shares which are listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, the Listing Rules require that the aggregate amount of H shares and other securities held by the public must constitute not less than 25% of the PRC issuer’s issued share capital and that the class of securities for which listing is sought must not be less than 15% of the issuer’s total issued share capital, having an expected market capitalization at the time of listing of not less than HK$50 million.

The Hong Kong Stock Exchange may, at its discretion, accept a lower percentage of between 15% and 25% in the case of issuers with an expected market capitalization at the time of listing of over HK$10,000 million.

(v) Independent non-executive directors and supervisors

The independent non-executive directors of a PRC issuer are required to demonstrate an acceptable standard of competence and adequate commercial or professional expertise to ensure that the interests of the general body of shareholders will be adequately represented. The supervisors of a PRC issuer must have the character, expertise and integrity and be able to demonstrate a standard of competence commensurate with their position as supervisors.

(vi) Restrictions on purchase and subscription of its own securities

Subject to governmental approvals and the provisions of the Articles of Association, our Company may repurchase our own H shares on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange in accordance with the provisions of the Listing Rules. Approval by way of special resolution of the holders of domestic Shares and the holders of H Shares at separate class meetings conducted in accordance with the Articles of Association is required for share repurchases. In seeking approvals, our Company is required to provide information on any proposed or actual purchases of all or any of our equity securities, whether or not listed or traded on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. The Directors must also state the consequences of any purchases which will arise under either or both of the Code on Takeovers and Mergers and any similar PRC law of which they are aware, if any. Any general mandate given to the Directors to repurchase H shares must not exceed 10% of the total amount of existing issued H Shares.

(vii) Mandatory Provisions

With a view to increasing the level of protection afforded to investors, the Hong Kong Stock Exchange requires the incorporation, in the articles of association of a PRC company whose primary listing is on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, of the Mandatory Provisions and provisions relating to the change, removal and resignation of auditors, class meetings and the conduct of the supervisory committee of the company. Such provisions have been incorporated into the Articles of Association, a summary of which is set out in the appendix entitled “Appendix VIII — Summary of the Articles of Association” to this prospectus.
