CSE will initially own 49% in ESPC and on the conversion of the Preferred Stock to Common Stock increase its ownership to 53%.

The aggregate value of the consideration was arrived at on a willing-buyer and willing-seller basis. This consideration would be funded by bank borrowings.

Concurrently, ESPC has entered into a preferred supplier arrangement with CSE to subcontract the engineering, procurement, construction and delivery of air injection and energy storage projects to CSE.

The two transactions will not have a material impact on the net tangible assets per share and the earnings per share of CSE for the financial year ending 31 December 2005.

None of the Directors or controlling shareholders of CSE has any interest, direct or indirect, in the abovementioned transaction.
