REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF ENTERING INTO THE CCT AGREEMENTS

The purchase of coal by the subsidiaries of the Company from the subsidiaries
of CDC is due to the serious shortage of coal resources in Shanxi and Gansu
regions where the subsidiaries and power plants of the Company are located and
the relatively limited supply channels in such area. During the severe period
of coal market, the entering into of the agreements with the relevant
specialized coal companies of CDC can fully leverage the advantages of these
specialized companies, secure stable coal supply, and stabilize the market
prices of coal to a certain extent, thereby mitigating the adverse impacts of
the changes in coal market on power plants of the Company.

The reason for the subsidiaries of the Company to sell coal to Datang Fuel Co.
is that Inner Mongolia Fuel Co. is a company specialized in coal trading
business. Its coal business has been developing rapidly in recent years. It has
certain advantages in the aspects of resources, suppliers and prices. The
company itself has the need to explore the domestic market. Datang Fuel Co. is
also a specialized company engaged in the sales of coal. It has certain
advantages in transportation organization and customer resources in the market.
The cooperation between the parties can lead to the complementation of their
advantages, and thereby achieve a win-win situation.

The Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) are of the
view that the terms of the CCT Agreements are fair and reasonable, have been
entered into after arm's length negotiation between all parties thereto and
determined on normal commercial terms and is in the interests of the Company
and the Shareholders as a whole.

Company. The transactions contemplated under the CCT Agreements constitute

purchases of coal under the Shanxi Purchase and Sale of Coal Agreements, the
