We plan to acquire a 5% equity ownership in Newpac No.1 Colliery in Hunter
Valley, a coal mine located in New South Wales, Australia, which is owned and
operated by Resource Pacific Ltd. ("RPL"), and a 5% equity ownership in
Resource Pacific Holding Ltd. ("RPHL"), the parent company of RPL incorporated
in Australia. In order to support and finance these activities, we plan to
establish a subsidiary in Australia in 2006 in which we will invest total
capital of approximately U$20.4 million or its equivalent amount in other
currency during 2006 and 2007. In return for our investment in RPL and RPHL,
we expect to secure 1 million tons of coal per year from 2007 through 2016.
In addition, we plan to enter into a contract with Electricite du Liban
("EDL"), incorporated in Lebanon, to operate and maintain 2 units of
combined-cycle power plants with a total capacity of 870 mega watts for 5
years from February 1, 2006 with possible extension by up to 2 years. In
return for the operation and maintenance of these power plants, we expect to
receive a total fee of U$85,565,000 from EDL.
