We have also assumed that the information and representationscontained or referred to in the Circular were true and accurate in all respectsat the time they were made and continue to be so at the date of dispatch of theCircular. We have no reason to doubt the truth, accuracy and completeness ofthe information and representations provided to us by the Directors and seniormanagement of the Company. We have also relied on certain information availableto the public and have assumed such information to be accurate and reliable,and we have not independently verified the accuracy of such information. Wehave been advised by the Directors and believe that no material facts have beenomitted from the Circular. We consider that we have reviewed sufficient information to reach an informedview, to justify reliance on the accuracy of the information contained in theCircular and to provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. We have not,however, conducted an independent verification of the information nor have weconducted any form of in-depth investigation into the businesses and affairs orother prospects of the Company or any of its respective subsidiaries orassociates.

PRINCIPAL FACTORS AND REASONS CONSIDERED

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

1. Background

Information relating to the Company

The Company is principally engaged in the development and operation of powerplants, the sale of electricity and thermal power, and the repair, testing andmaintenance of power equipment and power- related technical services, with itsmain service areas being in the PRC.

Information relating to Duolun Coal Chemical Company

Duolun Coal Chemical Company is responsible for constructing and operating theDuolun Coal Chemical Project. The Duolun Coal Chemical Project is located inDuolun County, Xilinguole League of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. Theproject uses the brown coal as raw materials from the East Unit 2 coal mine ofShengli Coal Mine in Inner Mongolia, which is wholly-owned by the Company. Itproduces chemical products with advanced technologies, including pulverisedcoal gasification technology, synthetic gas purification technology,large-scale methanol synthesis technology, methanol- to-propylene technologyand propylene polymerisation technology. This project is expected to produce460,000 tonnes of polypropylene per year and other by-products. As at 31 December 2009, Duolun Coal Chemical Company's unaudited total assetsamounted to RMB18.54151 billion; total liabilities amounted to RMB14.51595 billion; and asset-liability ratio was 78.29%.

Information relating to Datang Finance Company

Datang Finance Company is duly established in the PRC as a non-bankingfinancial institution on 10 May 2005. The registered capital of Datang Finance Company is RMB1,000 million. The principal business of Datang Finance Company includes the provision of, among others, deposit services, loan services, entrusted loan services and entrusted investment services.

2. Reasons for and Benefits of Entering into the Revolving Entrusted Loan Agreement

As mentioned in the Letter from the Board, in order to improve the turnover ofcapital at Duolun Coal Chemical Company and to ensure the smooth progress ofthe Duolun Coal Chemical Project, the Company intends to provide a revolvingentrusted loan of not more than RMB3,000 million to Duolun Coal ChemicalCompany in separate batches according to the construction progress of theDuolun Coal Chemical Project. We note that Duolun Coal Chemical Company is in the process of preparing forapplication for banking facilities. However, it may not be efficient to waitfor the readiness of the banking facilities for the construction of the DuolunCoal Chemical Project. As the Company is the controlling shareholder of DuolunCoal Chemical Company and indirectly holds 60% interest in Duolun Coal ChemicalCompany as at the Latest Practicable Date, the Directors consider that it wouldbe in the interest of the Group as a whole to facilitate the smooth progress ofthe Duolun Coal Chemical Project. Furthermore, Duolun Coal Chemical Companyplans to repay the principals and the interests of the loans after the bankingfacilities are in place. Therefore, the revolving entrusted loan provided bythe Company can serve as a bridging loan before the banking facilities are inplace and can facilitate the smooth progress of the Duolun Coal ChemicalProject. In view of such background, we consider that the Revolving EntrustedLoan Agreement is in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Companyand is in the interest of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.

3. Major Terms of the Revolving Entrusted Loan Agreement

Entrusted Loan Arrangement

Pursuant to the Revolving Entrusted Loan Agreement, Datang Finance Company isdesignated by the Company to act as a lending agent to, inter alia, release theEntrusted Loans, which is funded by the Company, to Duolun Coal ChemicalCompany and to monitor the use and repayment of the Entrusted Loan by DuolunCoal Chemical Company.

Principal amount of the Entrusted Loan

RMB3,000 million.

Provided that the sources and uses of the loans being in compliance with therequirements of the financial regulators, Duolun Coal Chemical Company canapply for loans on a continuous basis, regardless of the number of loans andthe amount of each of such loans, during the effective period of the RevolvingEntrusted Loan Agreement provided that the outstanding balance of the principalamount of the loan under the Revolving Entrusted Loan Agreement does not exceedthe loan limit (RMB3,000 million). However, the sum of the amount of loansbeing applied by Duolun Coal Chemical Company and the outstanding balance ofthe principal amount of the loan under the Revolving Entrusted Loan Agreementshall not exceed the loan limit, i.e. RMB3,000 million. We understand that the total investment amount of Duolun Coal Chemical Companyis estimated to be approximately RMB16.20 billion. As disclosed in the Letterfrom the Board, the amount of loans granted under the Revolving Entrusted LoanAgreement as at the Latest Practicable Date was approximately RMB2,300 million.As the Duolun Coal Chemical Project is still under construction and needsfurther funding for working capital, the maximum amount of the revolvingentrusted loan was determined at RMB3,000 million. In view of the above, weconsider that the provision of the revolving entrusted loan with a maximumamount of RMB3,000 million is reasonably determined.

Term

Not less than 30 days and not more than 36 months for each loan term from the date of entering into the Revolving Entrusted Loan Agreement.

Interest rate

At a floating interest rate, being 10% less than the benchmark interest rate tobe charged by the People's Bank of China at the time of each of the revolving entrusted loans is made. The Company advised us that the average interest rate of the bank borrowings ofthe Group in year 2009 was not out of line with the floating interest rate ofthe Revolving Entrusted Loan Agreement generally. On this basis and consideringthe fact that the Entrusted Loan is intended as short-term financing for DuolunCoal Chemical Company before it obtains bank financing and that the Group isthe controlling shareholder of Duolun Coal Chemical Company, we consider thatthe interest rate under the Revolving Entrusted Loan Agreement is reasonable.

Handling charge

The handling charge for the Entrusted Loan under the Revolving Entrusted LoanAgreement is calculated at 0.025% of the principal amount of the Entrusted Loanunder the Revolving Entrusted Loan Agreement. The Company shall pay suchhandling charge in a one-off basis to Datang Finance Company within fiveworking days when each of the loan under the Revolving Entrusted Loan Agreementis made. The Company advised us that they had designated other banks as lending agentsin relation to the provision of entrusted loans to other companies and thehandling charges for those entrusted loans were higher than 0.025% of theprincipal amount of the entrusted loans. Based on this, we consider that thehandling charge for the Entrusted Loan under the Revolving Entrusted LoanAgreement is not excessive.
