Peace Base Holdings Limited ("PBHL"), Hainan Baina Investment Co., Ltd. ("Baina"), VXL Equity Investment Management (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. ("VXL"), Actual Winner Limited ("AWL") and Express Linker Ltd. ("ELL") were the founding owners of HPB at the time of establishment of HPB. The shareholding structure of HPB at the time of establishment is as follows:

On 13 September 2013, a shareholders' resolution was passed by the shareholders of HPB approving the aforementioned share transfers, and the change of operation term of HPB from long term to 30 years.

On 17 September 2013, Haikou Integrated Free Trade Zone Administration Committee approved the share transfers.

On 23 September 2013, Haikou Integrated Free Trade Zone Administration Committee approved the change of operation term from long term to 30 years.

On 24 September 2013, a new Certificate of Approval and Business License were issued to HPB.

On 19 September 2013, a board resolution was passed approving the $b)$ change of business scope to "Investment management; investment consultancy; economic and trade consultancy; cargo packaging, agency for domestic and international freightage; public bonded warehouse and other warehousing services (excluding hazardous chemicals); display of bonded goods; import and export of goods; agency for import and export; processing and sale of diamond and gold jewelry, golf equipment, skateboard, watches and other luxury goods, household electrical appliances, furniture, electronic goods, knitted textile; organization of cultural and art communications (the above business to be carried out within the territory of Haikou Integrated Free Trade Zone; business that requires administrative permit shall be carried out after a permit is granted; special business, business restricted or prohibited by the State is not included)".

On 25 November 2013, a new Certificate of Approval and Business License were issued to HPB.

The changes made by HPB were duly registered with HAIC and no other approvals are required by the relevant PRC laws and regulations for the above changes to validly take effect. Therefore they are legal and valid changes and are in compliance with all relevant PRC laws and regulations.

  1. Taxation

HPB needs to pay Enterprise Income Tax at 25%, Value-Added Tax at 17%.

As confirmed by HPB, it has not paid any tax since the date of incorporation because HPB is still in the process of construction and has not carried out any business so far.

3. REAL PROPERTY

$(1)$ Land

HPB has purchased a parcel of land in Haikou Integrated Free Trade Zone from the Administrative Committee of Haikou Integrated Free Trade Zone ("the Transferor") for an area of 44020.60 sqm for the consideration of RMB13,600,000. A Land Use Right Certificate was granted to HPB on 5 December 2013. Details of the land use right are set out below:

Economic Sold Industrial,

As legal owner of the above land use right, HPB has the right to possess the land, to use the land as per the approved usage, to obtain economic interest derived from the land, and to dispose of the land use right in due course.

Note: as advised by HPB, when the land was sold to HPB, the Transferor did not go through certain procedural requirements in relation to the sale of land use right, such as the sale must be made by way of bidding, auction and listing instead of by negotiation; the land use right should be valued and such valuation result should be approved by superior governmental department in charge of the administration of state-owned assets. It is also noted that the Transferor is not only the former owner of the said land, but is also the administrative authority of the Haikou Integrated Free Trade Zone as authorized by Haikou Municipal Government exercising governmental functions within the Haikou Integrated Free Trade Zone. Based on the above factors, we are of the view that: (a) there were procedural defects in the transfer of land; (b) it was not HPB's fault that certain procedural requirements were not met; (c) should the transaction be deemed unfair in the future because of the procedural defects, certain people of the Transferor who effected the transaction would be held responsible and would be punished accordingly; (d) the chances that HPB will be punished are low; and (e) the purchase of land by HPB will not be invalidated unless HPB was involved in malicious conspiracy with the Transferor in the land transfer transaction.

$(2)$ House

As advised by HPB, it does not own any houses as at the Search Date.

(3) Construction in Process

HPB plans to construct one exhibition center, three factory buildings, four warehouses and one office building on the parcel of land owned by HPB.

For the above mentioned construction, HPB has obtained Construction Land Planning Permit on 5 November 2013 and Construction Project Planning Permit on 26 March 2014 from Planning Construction and Land Resources Bureau of Haikou Integrated Free Trade Zone. However, HPB has not obtained the Construction Permit which is required to be obtained before the commencement of construction for all construction projects. Instead, HPB has obtained an approval from Haikou Integrated Free Trade Zone Administrative Committee on 14 October 2013 which granted the approval for the construction

We visited Planning Construction and Land Resources Bureau of Haikou Integrated Free Trade Zone on the Search Date and a deputy director (Mr. Wu) confirmed to us that the two Permits issued by it to HPB were valid.

Note: according to PRC laws and regulations, a Construction Permit is always required before a construction project can be commenced. In addition, it is also one of the requisite documents for the issuance of title certificate to the property constructed. As a result, HPB might be ordered by relevant governmental department to suspend the construction, and might be imposed a fine in the range from RMB5,000 to RMB10,000; and HPB may not be able to obtain title certificate to the buildings. As advised by HPB during the site visit, they are preparing for the application of Construction Permit. If HPB obtains the Construction Permit, it can still apply for the issuance of title certificates to the buildings.

$\overline{4}$ ENVIRONMENT

According to PRC laws and regulations, HPB needs to prepare an Environmental Protection Assessment Report and submit it to the local Environmental Protection Bureau for approval; after grant of the approval, HPB could start the construction of buildings and facilities on the parcel of land.

As advised by HPB, it has not prepared the Environmental Protection Assessment Report and is in the process of communication with Environmental Protection Bureau.

Note: the consequences from construction without obtaining the approval from Environmental Protection Bureau include: (1) HPB may be ordered to complete the preparation of Environmental Protection Assessment ALLBRIGHT LAW OFFICES 绵天城律師事務所

Report and obtain approval within a specified period of time; (2) HPB may be ordered to suspend the construction; and (3) HPB may be imposed a fine under RMB100,000.

$55$ EMPLOYEE MATTERS

HPB has employed more than 10 staff as at the Search Date. We are advised by HPB that it has entered into employment contracts with most of its employees except for those who were newly recruited. HPB adopted a standard form contract prepared by the government, the major terms and conditions of which are as follows:

  • Term of contract and Probation Period: $\alpha$ .

  • Salary; C.
  • Social insurance and welfare: d.
  • Labor protection; e.
  • f. Rescind or terminate the contract and the compensation;

We have reviewed sample of employment contract and found that they are in accordance with PRC laws and regulations and no provision thereof is against the laws and regulations of PRC.

Note: HPB should also enter into labor contracts with those newly recruited employees no matter how short time they have entered the company. Failing to comply with it may incur punishment from the relevant governmental department.

HPB has the legal obligation to pay social security and housing fund for the employees. We are advised by HPB that it has paid social security for 6 As the contribution of social security and housing fund employees only. are mandatory in China, HPB has the obligation to make social security and housing fund contribution to all its staffs.

Note: according to PRC laws and regulations, HPB is required to pay social security and housing fund for all its employees. HPB might be
