Wind Industry Dynamics In China

There is the potential for China to invest $200 billion in wind turbine components and
projects through 2020

The Chinese government has substantially increased its goal for installed wind
energy capacity by 2020, during the past two years. Since 2008, the goal has
increased from 20 GW to 30 GW to 120 GW and, most recently in July 2009, to 150 GW

China is expected to surpass the United States as the world’s largest market for wind
turbines

The Chinese government recently announced the $17.6 billion, 20 GW “Three Gorges
Wind Power” project in Northwest China

China’s wind power industry is expected to reach 30 GW of capacity by 2010

China’s current renewable energy usage rate is 16% and the Chinese government
recently increased its goal for 2020 to 23%, which is similar to European targets

The Chinese government will offer bank loans with subsidized interest rates to wind
farm operators

Wind Power Propels Our Business Model

China needs to add nearly 9x the amount
of electricity generation as the United
States does

    -International Energy Agency

Chinese investment in coal-fired power
projects declined by 11% while
investment in wind power increased by
44% in 2009

    -National Energy Administration   

    (China)

“Total power generation in China is on
track to pass the United States in 2012.”

    -The New York Times, January 2010

Where We Fit in Wind Power

China is a world leader in the advancement of wind power

The Chinese government invested approximately $111 billion in power construction
projects in 2009

Wind turbines contain highly technical components that are creating a supply
bottleneck

China Wind Systems has demonstrated solid execution of its business plan by
becoming a key supplier of many wind-power components, in which end users are
international wind power players

First Mover Advantage Keeps Us Ahead of the Curve

Competitive Advantages:

Employ axial-close die forging technology to produce
high precision products that reduces material
consumption by 35% leading to surface flatness,
excellent mechanical strength, high flexibility, and full
automatic operation

Prime location in Jiangsu Province near major
transportation routes enables cost-savings

Growing national network of customers

Strong management capability to accelerate company’s
leadership role in the industry and leverage 15 years of
manufacturing expertise  

Received ISO9001 in July 2009, covering machining and
related service of shaft-shaped forging, ring forging,

Strategic Move to Focus on Electro-Slag Remelted
(ESR) Forged Products

ESR technology is used to increase the durability and quality of
steel material used particularly for components in high precision
yaw bearings

Inadequate supply of high quality precision forged products in the
large-sized wind turbine sector in China has created an industry
bottleneck

Well positioned to reap the high margin opportunity supplying
superior quality, high performance forged products starting March
2010

At full manufacturing capacity of 6,000 tons per year, gross
margin is expected to reach 37%

Signed preliminary agreement to supply 12,000 tons of ESR
forged products over 2.5 years
