REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF ENTERING INTO THE ENTRUSTED LOAN AGREEMENT

In order to ensure the smooth progress of the production and operation activities of Renewable 
Resource Company, Zhungeer Company provides the entrusted loan of not exceeding RMB150 million to 
Renewable Resource Company in aggregate. The Company is of the view that, given both Zhungeer 
Company and Renewable Resource Company are subsidiaries of the Company, the entrusted loan is 
beneficial to enhancing the utilisation efficiency of Zhungeer Company's capital while effectively 
satisfying the capital needs of Renewable Resource Company; and the terms of the Entrusted Loan 
Agreement are fair and reasonable, have been entered into after arm's length negotiation among all 
parties thereto and determined on normal commercial terms, and are in the interests of the Company 
and its Shareholders as a whole.

Considering the possible higher financial costs for Renewable Resource Company to obtain the same 
loan from other commercial banks when compared with the financial costs incurred by obtaining the 
funding of the entrusted loan from Zhungeer Company, the Group considers that the overall capital 
costs to the Group will be relatively reduced after the accounts of Renewable Resource Company 
(being the subsidiary of the Company) are consolidated into the accounts of the Company.
