<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">On May 18, 2012, Sino Clean Energy Inc.
(the &ldquo;Company&rdquo;) was notified by local court authorities that its Dongguan production facility was to be closed pending
the outcome of an ongoing lawsuit filed against Yongchang Paper Industry Co. Ltd. (&ldquo;Yongchang&rdquo;), a neighboring business.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">The Company&rsquo;s Dongguan facility,
located in Liu Yong Wei Industrial Park, Wan Jiang District, Dongguan City, Guangdong Province, is situated on the same grounds
as Yongchang&rsquo;s manufacturing facilities. In August 2010, the Company entered into an agreement with Yongchang to purchase
approximately 30 acres of land and a production factory for a total purchase price of approximately $5,550,000 (RMB 37,200,000).
The Dongguan factory was completed and commenced production in January 2011. As of the date of this report, however, Yongchang
was still in the process of transferring the land use right certificate for the land on which the Dongguan facility is located,
which entitles the holder to use the land and gain the title to the buildings located upon such land.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">Yongchang, a start-up paper products company,
had planned to launch initial production in 2011. However, due to the nationwide tightening of credit in 2010 through 2011, a policy
that the PRC government had instituted in an effort to curb credit-driven inflation, Yongchang was unable to obtain sufficient
capital to launch production according to schedule. In late December 2011, Yongchang&rsquo;s facilities were sealed by local authorities
in connection with a complaint that was filed in local court by Yongchang creditors.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">The Company&rsquo;s Dongguan facility continue to operate until
May 18, 2012, when, as a result of Yongchang&rsquo;s failure to timely transfer the land use right certificate for the Dongguan
facility to the Company, the local court issued an order to seal the Dongguan facility, despite the Company&rsquo;s full and separate
contractual right to the land and facility thereon.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">The Company is in the process of appealing the court order and
intends to defend its contractual rights vigorously and to the fullest extent under PRC law. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement
with Yongchang, if Yongchang fails to transfer the land and property certificates to the Company on schedule, or leaves the land
and property to a third party as pledge, the agreement becomes invalid and Yongchang must refund the full amount of the purchase
price to the Company and pay a default penalty equal to 10% of the total transaction price.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">However, as a result of the court order, since the afternoon
of May 18, 2012, Company has been forced to suspend production at its Dongguan facility. The Company is aggressively seeking to
identify alternative production options and may lease additional facilities to service its Guangdong customers pending resolution
of the Dongguang facility. Until production is resumed, the Company may incur substantial losses on outstanding purchase orders
and may lose business opportunites with current and future customers in the area. The Company is revisiting its 2012 earnings guidance
and will revise its guidance to account for any effect that the Dongguan plant closure may have on the Company&rsquo;s results
of operations.</P>
