This growth in volume was achieved via an expansion in the number of sales channels used by the Company and an increase in number of customers. The board is pleased to report that this growth in volume was achieved while maintaining the quality of CBI's products. As a result of the increased sales volume the Xiamen plant became profitable during the fourth quarter of 2009. Continuously improved technology has helped the Company further optimise its product mixture, under which the percentage of higher value-added products increased and margins were improved despite a fall in selling price. Moreover, the Company was granted awards during the year in respect of such technology innovation. The working capital of the Company was strengthened during 2009. A strict credit policy kept the Company away from financial risk and dramatically reduced trading accounts receivable. Operating cash inflow also increased by 982 per cent to RMB30.45 million due to working capital efficiencies. The gearing of the Company was also significantly reduced through debt repayment. The Company continued to receive support from the Chinese government with direct grants being received due to CBI's energy-saving and renewable energy production and technology innovation. Furthermore, as a qualified biodiesel company utilising waste oil as feedstock, the Company benefited from a preferential policy whereby it continued to receive VAT refunds. The board believes that the Chinese government will continue its commitment to promote the renewable industry and therefore provide further grants and assistance to help CBI's future development. The impact of government support in the renewable industry is evidenced within Hainan Province, which has, since 1 January 2010, become the first Chinese province to have a mandate of 5 per cent of diesel sales via a biodiesel blend. Overall, while the world economy is still relatively stagnant, compared to a year ago the Company is far stronger, better positioned and more experienced. With production facilities capable of a higher output, well developed and flexible technology, and an increasing share of the biomaterial market in which the Company operates, the board remains confident that the Company will continue to grow in the future. Operational Review In 2009, CBI successfully expanded its sales volume by 55.53 per cent to 39,308 tons for the year, with 15,018 tons in the first half and 24,290 tons in the second half of the year. This growth has been fueled by an expansion in the number of sales channels used by the Company and an expansion of customers in both domestic and international markets. During the year, 44,630 tons of feedstock oil was collected, compared with 30,028 tons in 2008. This increased procurement was achieved through an expanded network of national suppliers, specifically in North China and West China and internationally in Southeast Asian countries. An improved product mix combined with strict cost control resulted in higher year-on-year margins of 14.0 per cent (2008: 5.92 per cent). This increased margin was achieved through a focus on selling higher margin products. As a result of this focus, higher margin products (i.e. B1 and B2) accounted for 97.16 per cent of total revenue (2008: 89.87 per cent). Higher output scale also led to decreased unit costs. The Xiamen plant, which restarted its production in the second quarter, became profitable from the fourth quarter of the year. Efficient working capital management and strict credit control led to a healthier financial structure and reduced costs within the Company. Due to its market leading position the Company was able to implement a strict credit control policy during the second half of the year under which no credit on sales was given to customers. As a result trading receivables were dramatically reduced, which contributed to an increased operating cash inflow. The bank loans of the Company were also reduced which resulted in a better debt-to-asset rate and a lower interest cost. The two biodiesel subsidiaries of the Company continue to get the highest credit rating from the Agricultural Bank of China. During the year, the Company kept working hard to improve technology. A "Postdoctoral R&D Working Station" was set up at the Longyan biodiesel plant and Longyan Zhuoyue New Energy Development Co., Ltd. was named by the provincial government as a "Provincial Creative Enterprise". The Xiamen subsidiary was named by the municipal government as "an Advanced Unit with Recycling Economy". The quality of CBI's biodiesel for burning fully passed tests and complied with the national criterion (BD100 used in diesel engines). Consequently, the Company continues to receive governmental financial support in the form of grants and VAT refunds. Financial Review Revenues The Company's sales volumes grew by 55.46 per cent to 39,308 tons in 2009 (2008: 25,273 tons). As a result of falling commodity prices worldwide in 2009, the average selling price of our biodiesel products fell by 34.16 per cent to RMB4,270 per ton (2008: RMB6,497 per ton). The annual revenue of RMB167.95 million, represented an increase of 2.28 per cent over the prior year (2008: RMB164.2 million). Gross margin was lifted to 14 per cent of the revenue (2008: 5.92 per cent) as a combined result of increasing VAT refunds and improved product mix. The Company received a VAT refund of RMB20.7 million in 2009 (2008: RMB 4.31 million), as a result of increased sales of biodiesel products made of waste oils. Improvements in the product mix meant that sale of B1 and B2, with higher value and non-capped pricing, accounted for 97.16 per cent of the total sales (2008: 89.87 per cent). During the year, the Company received government grants amounting to RMB11.49 million (2008: RMB15.35 million). These grants were related to the Company's contribution to both producing energy from non-corn resource and technology innovation. Costs and expenses Due to the low price of feedstock in late 2008 and early 2009, costs of goods fell 33.05 per cent year on year to RMB4,201 per ton (2008: RMB6,283 per ton). As a result of an increased client service offering, particularly for transportation, distribution costs increased to RMB6.55 million (2008: RMB1.15 million), being 3.9 per cent of revenue (2008: 0.7 per cent). The increase in distribution costs however was more than offset by strict controls over costs and timing with administrative expenses reduced by 11.06 per cent to RMB12.88 million (2008: RMB14.49 million). Results for the year As a result of the higher margin mentioned above, gross profit for the year grew by 142 per cent to RMB23.51 million (2008: RMB9.72 million). Net profit for the year grew by 180 per cent to RMB11.46 million (2008: RMB4.1 million). Return on net assets also increased to 5.9 per cent (2008: 2.25 per cent). Working capital management Because of higher net profit, net cash inflow from operations was greatly improved in 2009 to RMB30.45 million (2008: RMB2.81 million). Cash in hand also grew to RMB29.73 million (2008: RMB17.49 million). A strict credit policy also helped improve cash inflow. Trade receivables were cut to RMB1 million (2008: RMB9.7 million) due to a policy of zero credit being given to customers from the second half of the year. Some trade credit to customers was replaced by bank drafts, which are deemed by management to be of low risk. Short-term liabilities were reduced by 7.55 per cent to RMB44.31 million (2008: RMB47.89 million). Net current assets increased by 180 per cent to RMB23.40 million (2008: RMB8.35 million). The financing structure of the Company was also improved, as the debt-to-asset ratio fell to 0.186 at the end of 2009 from 0.208 at the end of 2008. Bank facility The outstanding bank loans of the Company were reduced by 22.95 per cent during 2009 to RMB29.55 million (2008: RMB38.35 million). Dividend The directors propose a final dividend for 2009 of RMB0.0253 per share which, if approved by shareholders at the Company's annual general meeting on 2 June 2010, will be paid on 5 July 2010 to shareholders on the register at 18 June 2010 (2009: no dividend).

According to the new PRC tax rules and regulations effective on 1 January2008, LZNE and its subsidiaries, Longyan Zhuoyue Biodiesel Technology Development Co., Ltd. and Xiamen Horda Industry & Trade Co., Ltd. as well as Longyan Zhuoyue Biomass Co., Ltd. ("LZBM"), a subsidiary of the Company, are subject to PRC Enterprise Income Tax ("EIT") at the standard rate of 25% in the fiscal year 2009 (2008: 25%). XZBM was established in the Xiamen Special Economic Zone prior to 16 March 2007 and is subject to EIT at a rate of 20% (2008: 18%), which is the standard tax rate in the special economic zone in the fiscal year 2009. The standard EIT rate applicable to XZBM will be gradually increased from 20% to 25% during a three-year transitional period as follows: +--------------------+-----------------+ | Year | Applicable EIT | | | rate | +--------------------+-----------------+ | 2010 | 22% | +--------------------+-----------------+ | 2011 | 24% | +--------------------+-----------------+ | 2012 | 25% | +--------------------+-----------------+ Both LZNE and XZBM, being wholly owned foreign enterprises ("WOFE"), are eligible to enjoy tax exemptions and tax reductions available to a WOFE. In particular, LZNE has been eligible for a 50% reduction in the EIT standard rate for the fiscal years 2008 and 2009 and will be eligible for such a reduction in 2010, while XZBM has been eligible for a full exemption from EIT for the two fiscal years 2008 and 2009 and will be eligible for a 50% reduction in the EIT standard rate for the next three fiscal years. In addition, according to the tax circular issued by the State Administration of Taxation in the PRC ("SAT") dated 10 April 2009, being approved as "Comprehensive Utilisation of Resources" entities, both entities are also eligible to a preferential tax policy under which a 10% reduction is applied to their revenue generated from the sale of biodiesel products by utilising waste or recycled materials in the calculation of the assessable income since 1 January 2009. In 2008, management considered that both LZNE and XZBM would be eligible for either of the above tax preferential policies and opted for the latter option (i.e., the one related to the subsidiaries being approved as "Comprehensive Utilisation of Resources" entities). However, according to further clarification from the local tax authorities on 30 August 2009, the subsidiaries could only enjoy the former tax preferential policy (i.e., the one related to the subsidiaries being qualified as WOFEs) in 2008. The under-provision of EIT arising from the above, together with the impact on exemption of EIT relating to government grants granted in 2008 as described below, has been reflected in the current year's tax provision. LZBM, being a WOFE, has been eligible for a preferential tax policy of a full exemption from EIT for the two fiscal years 2008 and 2009 and is eligible for a 50% reduction of EIT standard rate for the next three fiscal years. Pursuant to a circular jointly issued by the Ministry of Finance in the PRC and the SAT dated 16 June 2009, government grants that were granted on or after 1 January 2008 qualify for an EIT exemption if the following criteria are met: (1) the entities receiving the grants must be able to provide approval documentation issued by relevant government authorities in which usage of the grants is specified; (2) there are detailed promulgations issued by relevant government authorities to manage the use of the grants and (3) the grants, together with the expenditures associated with the grants, are accounted for separately in the books of the entities receiving the grants. The circular also states that the expenses associated with the grants, and the depreciation and amortisation charges in connection with the non-current assets acquired by the entities by utilising the grants, are not deductible for the purpose of an EIT calculation. Out of the total government grants shown in note 6, government grants in the amount of RMB10.14 million (2008: RMB15.1 million) met the above criteria and the local tax authority has approved the EIT exemption related to such government grants received by the Group since 1 January 2008. Income tax expense of the Group for the fiscal year 2009 represents the EIT calculated at the applicable income tax rate on the assessable income. +----------------------------------------+-+-----------+---+-----------+ | | | 2009 | | 2008 | +----------------------------------------+-+-----------+---+-----------+ | | | RMB | | RMB | +----------------------------------------+-+-----------+---+-----------+ | | | | | | +----------------------------------------+-+-----------+---+-----------+ | Current tax | | | | | +----------------------------------------+-+-----------+---+-----------+ | - tax for the year | | 383,534 | | 751,094 | +----------------------------------------+-+-----------+---+-----------+ | - under-provision in respect of prior | | 455,962 | | - | | years | | | | | +----------------------------------------+-+-----------+---+-----------+ | | | | | | +----------------------------------------+-+-----------+---+-----------+ | Deferred tax | | | | | +----------------------------------------+-+-----------+---+-----------+ | - current year | | - | | (549,018) | +----------------------------------------+-+-----------+---+-----------+ | - write off of deferred tax assets | | 711,518 | | - | +----------------------------------------+-+-----------+---+-----------+ | | | | | | +----------------------------------------+-+-----------+---+-----------+ | Income tax expense | | 1,551,014 | | 202,076 | +----------------------------------------+-+-----------+---+-----------+ The income tax expense for the year can be reconciled to profit per consolidated statement of comprehensive income as follows: +----------------------------------------+-+-------------+---+-------------+ | | | 2009 | | 2008 | +----------------------------------------+-+-------------+---+-------------+ | | | RMB | | RMB | +----------------------------------------+-+-------------+---+-------------+ | | | | | | +----------------------------------------+-+-------------+---+-------------+ | Profit before income tax expense | | 13,010,740 | | 4,305,782 | +----------------------------------------+-+-------------+---+-------------+ | | | +----------------------------------------+---------------------------------+ | Tax calculated based on the standard | | 3,252,685 | | 1,076,445 | | rate of EIT in the PRC of 25% (2008: | | | | | | 25%) | | | | | +----------------------------------------+-+-------------+---+-------------+ | Tax exemption and concession | | (4,088,596) | | (4,027,105) | +----------------------------------------+-+-------------+---+-------------+ | Tax effect of tax losses not | | 524,101 | | 494,267 | | recognised | | | | | +----------------------------------------+-+-------------+---+-------------+ | Tax effect of deductible temporary | | - | | 1,857,011 | | differences not recognised | | | | | +----------------------------------------+-+-------------+---+-------------+ | Tax effect of non-deductible expenses | | 695,344 | | 973,584 | +----------------------------------------+-+-------------+---+-------------+ | Effect of difference between standard | | | | | | rate and expected rate | | - | | (172,126) | | at realisation of temporary | | | | | | differences | | | | | +----------------------------------------+-+-------------+---+-------------+ | Under-provision in respect of prior | | 455,962 | | - | | years | | | | | +----------------------------------------+-+-------------+---+-------------+ | Write off of deferred tax assets | | 711,518 | | - | | previously recognised | | | | | +----------------------------------------+-+-------------+---+-------------+ | | | | | | +----------------------------------------+-+-------------+---+-------------+ | Income tax expense | | 1,551,014 | | 202,076 | +----------------------------------------+-+-------------+---+-------------+ 11.
