FINANCIAL EFFECT OF THE DISPOSAL

It is expected that the Group will record a net book gain of approximately RMB 803,000,00 from the disposal, which is calculated as the difference between the following two items:

  1. the aggregate fair value of RMB1,604,000,000 of the 100% equity interests of Pinglu Tianshi and Pinglu Tianrun as at 31 July 2019 according to the valuation report issued by the independent valuer; and

The effect of the disposal on the profit or loss of the Company on the date of Completion shall be confirmed based on the actual data as at the date of Completion, and therefore the estimate may be different from the actual gain or loss to be recorded at the disposal. In any event, the actual gain or loss

- 6 -

arising resulted from the disposal to be recorded by the Company is subject to the review and final audit by the auditor of the Company.

USE OF PROCEEDS FROM THE DISPOSAL

The proceeds from the share transfer will be used to repay the bank loans of the Group and our consolidated subsidiaries due from time-to-time. If the Completion failed to occurred as scheduled, such bank loans will be repaid by the Group's own capital.

ESTABLISHING A PLATFORM COMPANY

As one of the conditions precedent to the Completion, Beijing Tianrun will establish a new platform company before Completion with a registered capital of RMB10,000. Beijing Tianrun will transfer the 49% equity interest it held in the cooperation platform (the contribution not yet paid at the time of transfer, ABC Investment will contribute such part of equity interest after the transfer pursuant to the Articles of Association) to ABC Investment at nil consideration. Thereafter, ABC Investment and Beijing Tianrun will inject further capital to the platform company in proportion to their respective shareholding percentage in Target Company I and Target Company II. Upon completion of the above matters, ABC Investment and Beijing Tianrun will hold 49% and 51% equity interests of the platform company respectively, and the two Target Companies will be wholly owned by the platform company. The establishment of the platform company, relevant equity transfer and other related matters to be carried out in the future are subject to the requirements under the Listing Rules of the Stock Exchange.

ABC Investment and Beijing Tianrun have entered into the "Memorandum of Cooperation" on 25 October 2019, which has set out the agreed restrictions on the equity transfer and right of first refusal.

APPENDIX II LETTER FROM ERNST & YOUNG IN RESPECT OF ARITHMETICAL ACCURACY OF THE CALCULATIONS OF THE DCF APPROACH

25 October 2019

The Directors

Xinjiang Goldwind Science & Technology Co., Ltd.

107 Shanghai Road, Economic & Technological Development Zone, Urumqi,

Xinjiang, China

Dear Sirs,

We have been engaged to report on the arithmetical accuracy of the calculations of the discounted cash flow forecast (the "Forecast") on which the valuation dated 21 October 2019 prepared by United Asia Assets Appraisal And Advisory Limited in respect of equity interest in Shuozhou Pinglu Tianshi Wind Power Co., Ltd. and Shuozhou Pinglu Tianrun Wind Power Co., Ltd. (the "Target") as at 31 July 2019 is based. The valuation is set out in the announcement of Xinjiang Goldwind Science & Technology Co., Ltd. (the "Company") dated 25 October 2019 (the "Announcement") in connection with the disposal of the Target. The valuation based on the Forecast is regarded by The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited as a profit forecast under paragraph 14.61 of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the "Listing Rules").

Directors' responsibilities

The directors of the Company (the "Directors") are solely responsible for the Forecast. The Forecast has been prepared using a set of bases and assumptions (the "Assumptions"), the completeness, reasonableness and validity of which are the sole responsibility of the Directors. The Assumptions are set out in the section headed "Valuation Report" of the Announcement.

Our Independence and Quality Control

We have complied with the independence and other ethical requirements of the Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants ("HKICPA"), which is founded on fundamental principles of integrity, objectivity, professional competence and due care, confidentiality and professional behavior.

Reporting Accountants' responsibilities

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the arithmetical accuracy of the calculations of the Forecast based on our work. The Forecast does not involve the adoption of accounting policies.

We conducted our engagement in accordance with Hong Kong Standard on Assurance Engagements 3000 (Revised) Assurance Engagements Other Than Audits or Reviews of Historical Financial Information issued by the HKICPA. This standard requires that we plan and perform our work to obtain reasonable assurance as to whether, so far as the arithmetical accuracy of the calculations are concerned, the Directors have properly compiled the Forecast in accordance with the Assumptions adopted by the Directors. Our work consisted primarily of checking the arithmetical accuracy of the calculations of the Forecast prepared based on the Assumptions made by the Directors.

Our work does not constitute any valuation of the Target. The Assumptions used in the preparation of the Forecast include hypothetical assumptions about future events and management actions that may or may not occur. Even if the events and actions anticipated do occur, actual results are still likely to be different from the Forecast and the variation may be material. Our work has been undertaken for the purpose of reporting solely to you under paragraph 14.62(2) of the Listing Rules and for no other purpose. We accept no responsibility to any other person in respect of our work, or arising out of or in connection with our work.

Opinion
