Group Background The origins of ZKTYs
activities date back to 2002, with the formation
of Guangdong Zhongke Tianyuan Regeneration
Resources Engineering Co., Ltd (GZTY
Regeneration Resources), which was formed as a
result of a spin-out from the Guangzhou Institute
of Energy Conversion, Chinese Academy of
Sciences.   In 2005, Guangzhou Baojie
Electromechanical Co., Ltd. (Guangzhou Baojie)
was founded to focus on the production and supply
of equipment and provision of production
technology and technical services to produce
ethanol downstream products, including acetic
acid and ethanol.   In 2006 ZKTY acquired
certain assets, including customer contracts and
technology, from Guangzhou Baojie and GZTY
Regeneration Resources, which enabled the
establishment of ZKTY's operations.   In October
2010, ZKTY acquired Guangdong Boluo Jiuneng High
New Technology Engineering Co., Ltd. (Boluo),
which fabricates equipment in accordance with
project requirements, and provides services
exclusively for ZKTY.

Solutions
Technology Engineering Solutions - Bioethanol
and Biobutanol
  • Ethanol (alcohol) is commonly used in the
    manufacture of chemicals, cosmetics, and
    beverages.
  • Butanol is commonly used in the manufacture of
    chemicals and solvents.
  • Both ethanol and butanol may also be used as
    fuels.
  • Bioethanol and biobutanol are commonly made from
    starchy materials and saccharides via a
    combination of both fermentation and
    distillation.
  • The Group has technologies for producing various
    grades of ethanol (normal, superfine, fuel).
  • The Directors believe that the Groups core
    competency lies in the design and construction of
    fermentation, distillation and dehydration
    systems for ethanol production - the critical

Solutions II
Technology Engineering Solutions - Biogas
  • Biogas refers to either a methane, hydrogen or
    carbon dioxide rich gas that is produced as
    organic matter breaks down.
  • Plants can supply and sell clean biogas as fuel
    for civilian use to the local utility gas
    companies.
  • The Group specialises in the production of
    biogas through the treatment and anaerobic
    fermentation of waste by-products from the
    ethanol production process.
  • In addition to domestic and utility company use,
    biogas can be used in many industries such as
    fuel, materials, intermediates and additives.
  • Although commercial production of biogas is
    relatively new, the Directors believe that the
    Groups background and experience in designing
    and constructing ethanol production plants will
    help build a competitive strength for the Group
    in biogas production.

Market Drivers
  • Bioenergy is widely considered to be one of the
    key alternatives to fossil fuel use because of
    its easy acquisition and clean emissions.
  • The National Development and Reform Commission in
    China forecasts that the production of ethanol
    will increase from 1.7m tons in 2008 to 10m tons
    in 2020.
  • Novozymes and Mckinsey Company predict that
    cellulosic ethanol could be substituted for 31m
    tons of gasoline in China by 2020, cutting the
    nation's oil imports by 10.
  • China has overtaken the USA to become the world's
    biggest energy consumer - fuelled by its
    decades-long economic growth and its rapidly
    expanding position as an industrial giant.
  • China is the second largest oil consumer behind
    the USA. Chinas oil consumption growth accounted
    for about a third of the worlds oil consumption
    growth in 2009.
  • The PRC government has enacted various laws and
    regulations encouraging the use of renewable
    energy as a substitute for petroleum.
  • In September 2010, Chinas biofuel industry was
    forecasted to bring about construction projects
    with a total value of RMB 96bn (US14.1bn - based
    on a September 2010 exchange rate).

15
Market Opportunity
  • The Directors believe that the development of the
    Chinese ethanol industry and its expanding
    production capacity will open up opportunities
    for the Group.
  • The Directors believe that China will demonstrate
    increasing demand for alcoholic beverages in the
    future.
  • The Directors also believe that there will be an
    increased demand for higher quality alcoholic
    beverages in China, and a demand for new plants
    which are capable of producing higher quality
    ethanol.
  • The Directors believe that there will be an
    increase in the demand for the Groups services
    from ethanol downstream producers due to
    increasing industrialisation in China.
  • As many industrial, commercial and household
    products contain ethanol and acetic acid, the
    Directors believe that the demand for ethanol
    production plants will continue to rise in the
    future.
  • The conversion of biomass into fuel, energy and
    chemicals is predicted to have the potential to
    generate upwards of US230bn for the global
    economy by 2020.
  • The Directors are of the opinion that bioenergy
    demand will increase as a result of the expected
    continued increase in the price of oil in the
    near future.

16
Growth Strategy
  • The Group intends to focus its strategy towards
    the future growth and expansion of its business
    as follows
  • Expand customer base and enlarge geographical
    market.
  • Expand its capability to capture and maintain its
    market share in the China ethanol fuel market.
  • Broaden its international presence by marketing
    its services globally, especially in Southeast
    Asia.
  • CNEs agent is in negotiations relating to the
    potential sale of the Groups products and
    services for a cassava ethanol plant in Thailand.
  • Broaden EMC business by developing new
    complementary services.
  • Expand its existing service offering by further
    developing its engineering capabilities.
  • Develop and commercialize new sources of biofuel
    through internal research efforts, and via joint
    collaborations with third parties.
  • Carry out further research and development in the
    areas of biofuel production.
  • Develop new processes to maximise the extraction
    of ethanol and other biogases from cassava.
  • Achieve growth through acquisitions, joint
    ventures or strategic alliances
  • Expand its capabilities and business through
    acquisitions, joint ventures or strategic
    alliances.
  • Explore opportunities to acquire other operations
    which are also involved in similar industries.

17
Current Trading and Prospects
  • The Directors envisage the operating environment
    for FY2011 to be encouraging, as the Directors
    believe that the recent increase in oil prices
    will result in increasing demand for bioenergy,
    which will in turn lead to growth in the ethanol
    markets in the PRC and around the world.
  • As at 31 December 2010, the Groups order book
    for existing contracts was approximately RMB39m.
  • The Directors expect that a substantial part of
    this order book will be completed and recognized
    in FY2011.
  • The Group is currently exploring opportunities
    and negotiating with prospective customers for
    new projects in the PRC and overseas.
  • In particular, via its agent, the Group is
    negotiating to provide products and services for
    a cassava based ethanol project in Thailand.
  • Barring unforeseen delays or cancellations of
    projects arising from factors including adverse

Why Invest?
CNE
  • The global bioenergy industry is developing and
    expanding
  • The Directors believe that the increase in oil
    prices is likely to lead to growth in ethanol
    markets in PRC and around the world.
  • Cellulosic ethanol (bioethanol produced from
    wood, grasses etc) could be substituted for 31m
    tons of gasoline in China by 2020, cutting the
    nation's oil imports by 10. In September 2010,
    Chinas biofuel industry was forecast to bring
    about construction projects with a total value of
    RMB 96bn.
  • Has an established track record in China, with
    overseas customers
  • 88 projects completed.
  • International sales - the group has exported its
    services outside of China into other Asian
    jurisdictions, Russia and the EU.
  • Has experienced and qualified personnel
  • Chairman and CEO have many years of experience in
    the renewable energy industry.
  • Board of Directors includes members with relevant
    experience, supported by a team of dedicated and
    academically qualified personnel.

    laboratory to develop and commercialize new
    sources of biofuel internally and via
    collaborations with third parties.

  • Citadel Debt Financing
  • In July 2007, CNE raised US12 million from the
    Citadel Equity Fund Limited (Citadel) through
    the issuance of convertible bonds which the
    Company undertook to use for, inter alia,
    contributing to ZKTYs registered capital.
  • In October 2008, the Company entered into a
    redemption arrangement with Citadel, pursuant to
    which the Company paid Citadel US4m and the
    principal amount of convertible bonds held by
    Citadel was reduced to US8m.
  • In December 2010, the Company entered into
    further agreements with Citadel to restructure
    the debt existing at such time, cancelling the
    convertible bonds and reissuing ordinary bonds to
    the same value.
  • In consideration for the restructuring of its
    bonds and reduction in debt, Citadel has been
    granted warrants to subscribe for 4,713,175
    Ordinary Shares (being 7 of the issued ordinary
    share capital of the Company at the close of
    business on 28 February 2011).

Summarised Risk Factors
  • Before deciding whether to invest in the Ordinary
    shares, prospective investors should carefully
    consider the risks described below which will
    apply to the Company together with all other
    information contained in this presentation. If
    any of the following risks actually occur, the
    Groups business, financial condition and/or
    results of operations could be materially and
    adversely affected. In such case, an investor may
    lose all or part of his or her investment.
    Additional risks and uncertainties not currently
    known to the Directors may also have an adverse
    effect on the Groups business and the
    information set out below is not and does not
    purport to be an exhaustive summary of the risks
    affecting the Group.
  • Failure to obtain or maintain requisite permits
    and licenses The Directors believe that the
    Group currently holds all necessary licenses and
    permits to carry on the activities which it is
    currently conducting under applicable laws and
    regulations. ZKTY and Boluo are subject to
    various government rules and regulations to carry
    out their respective business activities in the
    PRC. They are also subject to the periodic audits
    by the relevant PRC authorities for the renewal
    of these licenses and certifications. The
    relevant PRC authorities may suspend or refuse to
    renew the existing licenses or certifications.
    There is no assurance that ZKTY and Boluo will be
    able to maintain or renew their respective
    existing permits, licenses and certifications in
    the future.
  • Intellectual Property The Companys success
    depends in part on obtaining, maintaining, and
    enforcing its intellectual property rights, and
    its ability to avoid infringing the intellectual
    property rights of others. There is a risk that
    certain technology used by ZKTY in connection
    with the Groups current business operations, may
    not be adequately protected by patents or any
    other intellectual property rights.
  • The Group is largely reliant on the Chinese
    market The Groups operations in China represent
    a significant majority of the Groups total
    revenues. As a result, the Groups operations,
    prospects and financial condition could be
    adversely affected if there is any deterioration
    in or disruption to legal, political, economic or
    social conditions in China.
  • Price of petroleum and related substitute
    ethanol downstream products Biofuel is an
    alternative energy source to petroleum and
    ethanol is commonly used as a partial substitute
    of gasoline. The demand for biofuel may be
    significantly influenced by the price of
    petroleum and related products. In the event the
    price of petroleum decreases, this could lead to
    the increase in demand for biofuel. This will
    adversely affect the demand for the Groups
    products and services. If the prices of petroleum
    and related products fall significantly, the
    Companys financial performance may be materially
    and adversely affected.
  • Prices of the feedstock for ethanol production
    The prices of feedstock may be affected by
    factors such as climatic variations and
    government regulations. The increase in the
    prices of feedstock will increase the production
    cost of ethanol, which is likely to reduce the
    cost effectiveness of producing bioethanol. In
    such an event, capital expenditure by the
    Companys customers in the building of new plants
    is likely to decrease. If the prices of feedstock
    increase substantially, this could affect the
    demand for the Groups products and services and
    this may affect the Groups financial
    performance.
  • The MA Regulations there is a risk that the
    CSRC or other PRC governmental authorities may
    issue an interpretation or implementing rules in
    the future that could determine that the CSRCs
    or another PRC governmental authoritys approval
    is required for the proposed listing of the
    company on AIM. The Group may face sanctions by
    the authorities if the authorities subsequently
    determine that the approval is required for the
    proposed listing of the Company on AIM.
  • Political risks in PRC The degree to which the
    PRC Government regulates industry is a key risk
    to business in PRC in the future. The rate of
    economic liberalization could change and laws and
    policies affecting the environmental protection
    sector, foreign investment, exchange rates and
    other matters affecting investment in PRC could
    change as well.
  • .Limitations caused by PRC foreign exchange
    control There can be no assurance that the PRC
    regulatory authorities will not impose further
    restrictions on the convertibility of the RMB.
    Any further restriction on currency exchanges may
    limit the ability of the Company to repatriate
    revenues.
