6 Growing Chinese Market for Water Technology China s Looming Water Crisis: Significant growth in China s water market: o Identified as 1 of the 13 countries with extreme water shortages by United Nations 1 o Home to 20% of the world population but holds only 6% of the world s water resources 1 o 2/3 of the Chinese cities suffer from insufficient water supply Per Capita Water Resources (Ton) 30,352 28,498 23,348 9,344 6,511 3,365 2,134 o Water pollution is also worsening, with all seven major river basins in China classified as having top grade pollution by the government, and more than 300 million population inaccessible to safe drinking water o The government is planning a total of $300 billion invested into water treatment over the next 10 years, with favorable policies to attract private sector investors, creating significant market opportunities Market Size of China Waste Water Treatment Sector (US$ billion) CAGR: +20% Russia Brazil Australia US World Average Japan Source: World Bank China E Source: E&Y

7 Growing Chinese Market for Water Technology Strong Policy Support for Wastewater Treatment o Earmarked wastewater treatment as the No. 1 priority for environmental protection development in the 12th Five-Year Plan (FYP) from o Plans to spend RMB1 trillion on water and wastewater infrastructure during the 12th FYP 3 o 12th Five-Year Plan requires all counties and cities to achieve wastewater treatment ratio of 80% and 85% respectively, from the current 50% and 75% 4 o Strict discharge guidelines established in recent policies 5 o Based on the target to increase urban wastewater treatment rate from 78% in 2010 to 85% in 2015, mntons/day, valued at CNY 66 bnworth of new WWTP is to be added. o 8% reduction target in COD, 10% reduction target in Nitrate and ammonia nitrogen emission over 2010 level by 2015, points to upgrading opportunity to meet more stringent discharge limits. o Urban recycled water rate of 20% by 2015 implying a 28% CARGR on water recycle capacity during 2011 to Estimated CNY 28 bnto be spent on recycledwater development. o Non-traditional water source such as desalinated seawater, recycled wastewater will favor the use of membrane technology

8 The MBR Potential MBR has been identified by the Chinese Government as a key solution for the water shortage/pollution 1 MBR is becoming the preferred water treatment of choice 2 o Account for around 3% of the total water treatment market in China, vs>20% in Korea and Singapore. o With cost gradually declining, market share of MBR vsconventional technologies particularly in industrial and municipal waste water treatment and recycling projects, is expected to increase MBR Market Size in China (US$ million) o MBR market size in China have grown at a CAGR of +113% from and is expected to grow at a CAGR of >50% over the next 5 years from , E 2010E 2015E (1) Report by Emerging Markets Private Equity Association released on October 2012 (2) China Water Net Consulting

10 MBR- The Water Treatment Technology of Tomorrow Process Land Requirement Investment MBR technology Biochemical treatment + Membrane separation Compact facilities Occupies only 20% -50% land area of traditional plants Slightly higher equipment investment offset by significantly less land and construction costs. Highly advantageous when land resources are scarce Traditional Biological Technology Biochemical treatment + clarfication Complex and bulky facilities Occupies large area Slightly lower equipment investment but significantly higher land and construction costs Operating Cost Low operating cost High operating cost Water Quality High output quality suitable for highly polluted water and recycling Low output quality in comparison

11 Demand for Membrane Based Drinking water Treatment Technology Increasing Water Tariffs: o China s wholesale water price has risen by 10% CAGR over the past 10 years to reach an average of Rmb3.68/ton as of Jul o Water tariff increase is expected to continue to outpace inflation in the next few years at an average rate of 5-10% p.a. 1 as water tariffs as a % of household disposal income compared to other global peers is still low 2 Demand for better quality drinking water o Tightening of drinking water standard coupled with deterioration in raw water quality favours better treatment technology. o Increase in adoption of membrane based drinking water plants.
