(527.hk) is currently transforming into a wind farm operator, after acquiring Hongsong in January 2013 and disposing its loss-making diodes business in May In 1H13, wind farm operation not only helped the profit turnaround but also accounted for 38% of total revenue and 48% of net profit. Hongsong helped profit turnaround in 1H13. China Ruifeng announced its 1H13 interim result on 2 Sept With less than 6 months contribution, Hongsong contributed Rmb 161.4m in revenue and Rmb 23.9m in net profit, pushing China Ruifeng to grow 39.4% yoy in revenue to Rmb423m and 227.5% yoy in net profit to RMB50m in 1H13. Compared with a net loss of Rmb 182m in 2H12, this was a significant turnaround in profitability. Gross margin improved from minus 8% in 2H12 to 26% in 1H13. Wind power sector sees early signs of recovery. Despite the declines in the past few years, newly installed capacility stabilized at a growth of -0.6% but growth in wind power production accelerated to 38% in the first 7 months of The recovery was mainly driven by accelerated investment in power grid construction as a result of a series of wind power supporting policies introduced by the government. Wind farms strategically located at Hebei and Inner Mongolia with abundant wind resources. Backed by the acquisition of controlling stakes in Hongsong and Langcheng, China Ruifeng now owns a combined installation capacity of 350 MW in Hebei and Inner Mongolia.

3 Sept 4, 2013 HK & China 1 Transforming into a wind farm operator China Ruifeng Renewable Energy Hldg. Ltd. (527.hk) is currently transforming into a wind farm operator. The company subscribed 47.3% of the enlarged share capital of Hebei Hongsong Wind Power Co., Ltd. ( Hongsong ) for RMB645m in January 2013 (Together with the 5.77% share capital of Hongsong originally held, the Group now holds an aggregatee of approximately 50.3% issued share capital in Hongsong) and disposed of its loss-making diode manufacturing business for HK$ 220m in May Now, the company is principally engaged in wind farm operation, construction and consultation of power grid and transformer project, manufacturing, processing and sales of wind turbine blades. Exhibit 1:Business restructuring of China Ruifeng 1.1 Hongsong helped profit turnaround in 1H13 China Ruifeng announced its 1H13 interim result on 2 Sept With less than 6 months contribution, Hongsong contributed Rmb 161.4m in revenue and Rmb 23.9m in net profit, pushing China Ruifeng to grow 39.4% yoy in revenue to Rmb423m and 227.5% yoy in net profit to RMB50m in 1H13. Compared with a net loss of Rmb 182m in 2H12, this was a significant turnaround in profitability. Gross margin improved from minus 8% in 2H12 to 26% in 1H13. 3

In 2H12, revenue mix of China Ruifeng s four main business segments (Production of diodes, Construction contracts, Production of wind turbine blades and Wind farm operation) was 55:44:1:0. In 1H13, it had changed to 31:31:0:38. Wind farm operation has also become the most dominant earnings contributor. In terms of segment profit, profit mix of the four main businesses was 12:4:-1:96 in 1H13 compared with 3:73:10:11 in 2H12. With the disposal of the diode manufacturing business in 1H13, revenue and profit mix will be more geared to wind farm operation starting in 2H13.

The significant improvement was mainly a result of the high margin earned by the newly acquired Hongsong wind farm. In 1H13, segment profit margin for wind farm operation was 67.1%, far higher than other segments (10.4% for Production of diodes, 3.4% for Construction contracts and for Production of wind turbine blades). With rising revenue and profit contribution from wind farm operation, profit margin will be gradually moving towards a level similar to what is earning by Hongsong in the coming future.

6 2 Wind power sector sees early signs of recovery Having transformed into primarily a wind farm company, performance of China Ruifeng will be driven by fundamentals of the wind farm sector going forward. 2.1 Negative growth in the past few years In China, newly installed wind power capacity continued to decline since 2010 and recorded negative growth of 7% in 2011 and 26% in The declines were mainly a result of lower wind power development limited by grid connectivity constraint. Exhibit 6:Annual newly installed wind power capacity in China Newly Installed Capacity (GW) Newly Installed Capacity YoY (%) Source: Chinese Wind Energy Association, China s wind power resources are unevenly distributed and largely located in northern, northwestern and northeastern regions. According to the evaluation of wind resources in selected provinces in the PRC by the International Energy Agency and the Energy Research Institute in 2011, regions with the greatest potential of wind resources are Inner Mongolia, Xinjiang, Gansu and Hebei. In terms of wind power production, Inner Mongolia, Hebei and Liaoning are developed areas. 6

7 Exhibit 7:Wind resources distribution of seven 100 MW wind power bases Source: NEA, The renewable energy industrial development report 2010, Guosen Securities (HK) However, the main power demand comes from eastern coastal regions. This big mismatch between geographic distribution of wind power resources and power consumption has prevented numerous wind farms from realizing their full potential: the different paces of construction of wind farms and the construction of grid infrastructure, the relatively low local demand for power and lack of energy source flexibility. 2.2 Government introduces supportive policies To solve the existing wind curtailment problems and support wind power development, the central government has established a series of supportive policies in The objectives are to target a better implementation of the existing renewable energy regulations (such as a mandate that grids give precedence to renewable over thermal plants), encourage investment of grid infrastructure and strengthen renewable energy information management. List of wind power supportive policies in 2013 The National Energy Administration issued The notice of improving wind power grid connection and consumption in 2013 " on 16 Feb, 2013, which requires the country to pay more attention on wind power consumption, strengthen grid infrastructure construction and service for wind power grid connection. The State Council issued The decision on cancellation and decentralization of administrative approval power for a number of projects on 15 May 2013, which requires listing approval authority of private investment on wind power projects (total installed capacity of 50,000 kilowatts or more, 330 kv and below voltage AC grid projects and non-cross-border, inter-provincial 500kV level AC grid projects 7

8 under the central government plan) to decentralize from the National Development Reform Commission (NDRC) to local government investment authorities; The National Energy Administration approved the establishment of the National Renewable Energy Information Administration Center on 17 June Its responsibility is to monitor and evaluate the actual situation and development plan of construction, grid connection and equipment manufacturing, in order to provide data and technical support for the government, renewable energy investors, grid operators and equipment manufacturers. On the back of these wind power supportive policies, investment in power grid construction accelerated in 1H13. In the first 7 months of 2013, completed investment in power grid construction grow 16.6% yoy, as compared to an annual growth of 0.3% in Newly installed capacity stabilized at a growth of -0.6% yoy and wind power production growth speed up to 38% yoy.
