Hong Kong Listing Rules and the Company has fully complied with Rule 14.60A and Rule 14.62 of

The Vendors
Xu Xidong, Xuan Hong, Zhang Ximing, Zhang Ping, Jiang Guirong, Anhui Haihe New Energy
Investment Co., Ltd., Wuhu Henghai Investment Center (Limited Partnership), and Anhui Guoyao
Venture Investment Co., Ltd., the shareholders of Anhui Jieyuan prior to the completion of the Asset

equity interest in Anhui Jieyuan, respectively. The Vendors as well as their ultimate beneficial
owner(s) are third parties independent of the Company and its connected persons.
As the issuance of the Consideration Shares and the issuance of the Subscription Shares are
subject to the approval of the CSRC, the SASAC and the shareholders’ meeting of Sinoma
International and may or may not proceed, Shareholders and potential investors are reminded
to exercise caution in dealing in the securities of the Company.
FINANCIAL EFFECT OF THE ASSET RESTRUCTURING AND THE ISSUANCE OF THE
SUBSCRIPTION SHARES
The Consideration Shares and the Subscription Shares represent approximately 12.87% in aggregate
of the existing issued share capital of Sinoma International and approximately 11.41% of the issued
share capital of Sinoma International as enlarged by the issuance of the Consideration Shares and the
Subscription Shares. Sinoma International is currently owned as to 42.46% by the Company. Upon
the completion of the issuance of the aforesaid shares (assuming that 76,208,025 Consideration
Shares and 64,516,129 Subscription Shares will be fully issued and there is no other change in the
issued share capital of Sinoma International), Sinoma International will be owned as to 37.62% by the

Based on the existing information available to the Company, the Directors estimate that the financial
impact of the deemed disposal of the Company’s interests in Sinoma International due to the issuance
of the Consideration Shares and the Subscription Shares on the Group should be insignificant.
Because the equity interest in Sinoma International of the Company will decrease by 4.84% due to
the issuance of the Consideration Shares and the Subscription Shares. According to the audited net
profit of Sinoma International attributable to the owners of the parent company for the two financial
years ended 31 December 2013 and 2014 on the basis of PRC accounting standards, being
RMB90,187,698.16 and RMB148,336,235.13, respectively, the net profit attributable to the owners of
the parent company of the Group will decrease by approximately RMB4,365,084.59 and
RMB7,179,473.78.
It should be noted that the aforementioned estimation is for illustrative purpose only and does not
purport to represent how the financial position of the Group will be after the issuance of the
Consideration Shares and the Subscription Shares.
