SUMMARY

OVERVIEW

We are a snack food provider in China with a leading position in the jelly products market. According to Euromonitor, we were the second largest manufacturer of jelly products in China with a market share

of 10.3% in 2010 in terms of retail sales value. We market our products under our core brand, “ ” (“Labixiaoxin”) as well as other sub-brands. Our “Labixiaoxin” brand is a well-recognized snack food brand in China and was recognized as a “China Well-Known Trademark” (中國馳名商標) by the SAIC in 2007. We offer a broad range of quality snack food products. Our main products are jelly products, which comprise jelly snacks and jelly beverages. We also market and sell confectionary products, which primarily include lollipops, milk candies, gummy candies and chocolates. Our other products primarily comprise powdered milk tea. For the year ended December 31, 2010, sales from our jelly products, confectionary products and other products accounted for 83.3%, 11.4% and 5.3% of our sales, respectively.

Over the last 10 years, we have established an extensive distribution network. As of October 31, 2011, we worked with over 190 independent wholesale distributors, covering 31 provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions in China, which on-sell our products to secondary distributors and retailers. We have also established good business relationships with a number of large and well-known retailers in China, which we consider to be our key account customers. Over 90% of our sales during the Track Record Period was generated domestically through our established nationwide distribution network, while the remainder was generated from export sales through our export agents. To facilitate our nationwide sales, we have established three major production facilities located in strategic areas, namely Jinjiang, Fujian Province, Tianjin Municipality and Chengdu, Sichuan Province, giving us convenient access to major markets in different regions in China. We have commenced the construction of our fourth production facility in Chuzhou, Anhui Province. We manufacture all of our jelly products and powdered milk tea and outsource the manufacture of confectionary products and the remainder of other products to third parties through OEM arrangements.

We are committed to high standards of quality in all our products and follow stringent quality control procedures throughout our production processes. We obtained QS Food Production Permits (食品生產許 可證) for all our production facilities and ISO 9001 and HACCP certifications for our Fujian and Tianjin production facilities. We believe we have strong research and product development capabilities. We adjust our product offerings and introduce new and improved products in response to changing consumer preferences and demand. We believe our product development capabilities will help to strengthen our competitiveness through product differentiation and innovation.

We believe that we are well positioned to benefit from the rapid economic growth of China. From 2003 to 2010, China’s real GDP grew at a CAGR of 11.0%, and the level of per capita disposable income in the PRC increased significantly, with a CAGR of 12.3% and 12.3% from 2003 to 2010 for urban and rural residents, respectively. We expect such historical trends will sustain in the near future, and believe consumer spending on snack food will also increase. According to Euromonitor, the estimated retail sales value of jelly products and confectionary products represented 7.5% and 51.5% of the snack food market in China in 2010, respectively, and the retail sales value of jelly products and confectionary products are expected to increase with a CAGR of 14.2% and 7.4% from 2010 to 2013, respectively.

SUMMARY

Our profit for the year decreased to RMB53.5 million in 2009 from RMB68.6 million in 2008, primarily attributable to a one-off inventory write-off of RMB19.3 million due to a change in labeling requirements under the new Food Safety Law of the PRC (中華人民共和國食品安全法) in 2009, and an income tax expense provision we made pursuant to the Notice on Enterprise Income Tax Treatment of Enterprise Reorganization (關於企業重組業務企業所得稅處理若干問題的通知), or Notice No. 59 (“Notice No. 59”), partially offset by an increase in our sales and operating profit. Pursuant to Notice No. 59, which was issued on April 30, 2009 but took retrospective effect on January 1, 2008, LBXX Tianjin, which enjoyed full tax exemption in 2008 and 2009, would be subject to an income tax rate of 25% in 2008 and 2009 and, therefore, we made a provision for the aggregate income tax liability for 2008 and 2009 amounting to RMB21.4 million in 2009. Our profit for the year increased to RMB147.8 million in 2010 from RMB53.5 million in 2009, primarily due to an increase in our sales and operating profit and the write-back of the aforementioned income tax expense provision that we recorded in 2009 after clarifying our tax position with the relevant PRC tax authorities. Our profit for the period increased to RMB115.6 million for the five months ended May 31, 2011 from RMB58.6 million for the five months ended May 31, 2010.

DIVIDEND POLICY

Pursuant to the Companies Act and our Bye-laws, we, through a general meeting, may declare final dividends in any currency but no dividend shall be declared in excess of the amount recommended by the Board. Dividends may be paid out of profits of the Company available for distribution or contributed surplus in accordance with the Companies Act.

Future dividend payments will also depend upon the availability of dividends received from our subsidiaries in China. PRC laws require that dividends be paid only out of the net profit calculated according to PRC accounting principles, which differ in many aspects from the generally accepted accounting principles in other jurisdictions, including IFRS. PRC laws also require foreign investment enterprises to set aside part of their net profit as statutory reserves, which are not available for distribution as cash dividends. Distributions from our subsidiaries may also be restricted if they incur debts or losses or in accordance with any restrictive covenants in bank credit facilities, convertible bond instruments or other agreements which we or our subsidiaries may enter into in the future.

Our Board has an absolute discretion to recommend any dividend for any year. There is no assurance that dividends of any amount will be declared or distributed in any year.

We have funded our working capital requirements through a combination of cash inflow from our operations, bank borrowings and capital contributions from our Shareholders. We recorded net current liabilities as of December 31, 2008, 2009 and 2010. The construction of our Sichuan production facility as part of our production expansion plan resulted in a large amount of capital expenditures in 2008, 2009

SUMMARY

and 2010, which was partially funded by incurring short-term bank borrowings. However, we recorded strong operating cash inflows during the Track Record Period, in the amount of RMB103.4 million, RMB96.5 million, RMB165.5 million and RMB92.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2008, 2009 and 2010 and the five months ended May 31, 2011, respectively. As of September 30, 2011, we recorded net current assets of RMB69.9 million and had unutilized banking facilities in the amount of RMB138.7 million. Taking into account the net proceeds we received in March 2011 from the Pre-[●] Investment of approximately RMB139.1 million (equivalent to HK$164.8 million based on the specified exchange rate of HK$1.00 to RMB0.8440), [●], banking facilities available to us and cash flows from our operations, our Directors believe that we have sufficient working capital to service our bank borrowings and our capital commitments, and to satisfy our reasonably foreseeable cash requirements in our operations for at least the next 12 months from the date of this document. The basis of our Directors’ conclusion includes, but is not limited to, (i) the forecast of demand in our products based on the Chinese economy’s expected growth, (ii) the assumption that we can successfully execute our business strategies, (iii) our planned capital expenditures, (iv) the assumption that there will be no material changes in our ability to manage our working capital, and (v) the assumption that there will be no material change in our operating environment in the PRC or other countries to which we export our products.

DELISTING FROM SGX-ST

We were listed on the SGX-ST on August 26, 2005 and remained listed on the SGX-ST for more than four years. On December 9, 2009, our Company and Rise Mount announced the Delisting Offer. We were subsequently delisted from the SGX-ST on May 6, 2010. Please see “History and Corporate Structure – Delisting from SGX-ST” for further details about our [●] on the SGX-ST and the Delisting.

OUR “LABIXIAOXIN” TRADEMARK

We distribute our products under our core brand “Labixiaoxin.” We completed the registrations of our “Labixiaoxin” trademark in the PRC in classes covering our jelly products in 2000 (with registration number 1470228) and confectionary products in 2002 (with registration number 1954434). At the time we applied for the registrations of our “Labixiaoxin” trademark, the trademark was not identical or similar to any then existing registered trademarks in China and was approved by the Trademark Appeal Board of State Administration for Industry and Commerce of the PRC (國家工商行政管理總局商標評審委員會) (the “Trademark Board”), and therefore our PRC legal adviser, Jingtian & Gongcheng, has confirmed that our trademark was legally registered in the PRC.

We are aware that “Crayon Shinchan,” a Japanese manga series, is commonly perceived to be known as “蠟筆小新” or “蜡笔小新” in Chinese (or “ labixiaoxin ” in pinyin). Trademarks incorporating the manga series’ main character’s image or the Chinese characters “蠟筆小新” or “蜡笔小新” rendered in different artistic styles have been registered by third parties unrelated to us in various countries and regions, including the PRC, Taiwan and Hong Kong. We do not use the image of the “Crayon Shinchan” manga series’ main character in our trademarks, nor do we use that image to market our products. In 2005 and in 2007, Futabasha Publishers Ltd. (株式會社雙葉社) (“Futabasha”) applied to the Trademark Board, the regulatory authority responsible for handling trademark disputes in the PRC, for the revocation of our “Labixiaoxin” trademark registrations primarily on the grounds that our trademark infringed copyrights owned by Futabasha in the “Crayon Shinchan” manga series. The Trademark Board ruled in our favor in 2009 and 2010 on the following grounds:

  • Our “Labixiaoxin” trademark does not contain the Chinese characters “蠟筆小新” rendered in the same artistic style as that used in Futabasha’s trademark, and thus it is not similar or identical thereto, and we do not use the image of the “Crayon Shinchan” manga series’ main character in our trademark.

SUMMARY

  • The registrations of our “Labixiaoxin” trademark in classes covering our jelly products and confectionary products received regulatory approvals in 2000 and in 2002, respectively, before news and articles about the “Crayon Shinchan” manga series and the related merchandise first appeared in China, in 2003, and therefore before Futabasha’s trademark could have become a well-known trademark in China, which would otherwise have prevented similar marks from being registered in the same or other classes.

  • Our “Labixiaoxin” trademark was not registered through improper means or with malicious intentions.

Furthermore, according to the Trademark Law of the PRC (中華人民共和國商標法) (the “Trademark Law”), there is generally a five-year time limit to challenge an approved trademark registration starting from the registration date. Since the “Labixiaoxin” trademark was registered in classes covering our jelly products in 2000 (with registration number 1470228) and our confectionary products in 2002 (with registration number 1954434), the respective time limits have lapsed. We and our PRC legal adviser, Jingtian & Gongcheng, are of the view that (i) we have completed all legal procedures in the PRC necessary to register our core “Labixiaoxin” trademark in classes covering our jelly products in 2000 (with registration number 1470228) and confectionary products in 2002 (with registration number 1954434), and the SAIC has approved such trademark registrations before Futabasha completed its trademark registrations, (ii) such use has not infringed the intellectual property rights of any third parties, and (iii) it is unlikely that there will be any foreseeable complaint, claim, dispute or litigation made against us in connection with our “Labixiaoxin” trademark. In addition, our “Labixiaoxin” trademark does not use the image of the “Crayon Shinchan” manga series’ main character and presents the Chinese characters “蠟筆 小新” vertically, while Futabasha’s trademarks may use such image and present the Chinese characters “蠟 筆小新” horizontally in artistic styles different from ours. As such, our “Labixiaoxin” trademark and Futabasha’s trademarks are clearly distinguishable and not considered similar or identical. Furthermore, based on searches conducted on the PRC Trademark Bureau’s online database, (i) Futabasha received approvals to register its trademarks beginning in 2003, and (ii) our “Labixiaoxin” trademark and Futabasha’s trademarks are registered in different classes in the PRC, with the exception of class 30, where our “Labixiaoxin” trademarks and Futabasha’s trademark are registered in different sub-classes. We further believe that our continuous use of the “Labixiaoxin” trademark will not infringe the intellectual property rights of any third parties in the future, and the risk of our not being able to use the “Labixiaoxin” trademark or brand name is remote.

To protect our intellectual property rights, we undertake proactive anti-counterfeiting measures, including (i) timely registration of marks we intend to use as trademarks in relevant jurisdictions, (ii) active monitoring of the market for potential infringement activities, and (iii) frequent communications with our wholesale distributors to respond to potential infringement activities they have identified in their respective distribution areas. During the Track Record Period and up to the Latest Practicable Date, we had not experienced any infringement of our intellectual property rights which would have a material adverse effect on our business. For more details, please see “Risk Factors – Risks Relating to Our Business – We may face challenges to our intellectual property rights and market confusion regarding our ‘Labixiaoxin’ brand name” and “Business – Intellectual Property – Intellectual Property Owned or Under Application.”

SUMMARY

PRODUCT QUALITY

We are committed to food safety and the highest level of quality standards in our products and implement stringent quality control procedures throughout our manufacturing processes. We also seek to promptly address any potential food safety concerns. In May 2011, incidents of illegal usage of certain plasticizers as food additives were publicized in Taiwan, which raised public concerns regarding the safety of certain food and beverage products. We have taken proactive measures to verify and confirm that none of our products contains plasticizers (whether as a result of contamination during the production processes or migration from packaging materials), and none of the packaging materials we use contains plasticizers exceeding levels permitted under relevant PRC laws and regulations. There are no uniform international standards regulating the levels of plasticizers in packaging materials, and as of the Latest Practicable Date we had not received any governmental notices or inquiries from countries to which we export our products with regard to the usage of plasticizers in packaging materials. In addition, we have obtained confirmation letters from our raw materials suppliers and OEM partners in favor of us, warranting that they have not used any additives or adjuvants in raw materials supplied to us or OEM products manufactured on our behalf in violation of relevant laws and regulations, and agreeing to indemnify us for any loss incurred as a result of such violations. We believe that the plasticizer incident has had no material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial conditions. For more information, please see “Business – Quality Control.”

RISK FACTORS

RISKS RELATING TO OUR BUSINESS

We may face challenges to our intellectual property rights and market confusion regarding our “Labixiaoxin” brand name.

We distribute our products under the core brand . We are dependent on the general recognition of the “Labixiaoxin” brand name. We have registered some of our trademarks, including the “Labixiaoxin” brand name, in the PRC and Hong Kong, and we have also applied for registration of such trademarks in other countries such as India and Mexico. Furthermore, our “Labixiaoxin” brand was recognized as a “China Well-Known Trademark” (中國馳名商標) by the SAIC in 2007. For further details, please see “Business – Intellectual Property – Intellectual Property Owned or Under Application.”

We are aware that “Crayon Shinchan,” a Japanese manga series, is commonly perceived to be known as “蠟筆小新” or “蜡笔小新” in Chinese (or “ labixiaoxin ” in pinyin). Trademarks incorporating the manga series’ main character’s image or the Chinese characters “蠟筆小新” or “蜡笔小新” rendered in different artistic styles have been registered by third parties unrelated to us in various countries and regions, including the PRC, Taiwan and Hong Kong. Futabasha is the copyright owner of Crayon Shinchan, and has registered various trademarks incorporating the image of the manga series’ main character and the Chinese characters “蜡笔小新” rendered in particular artistic styles in China since 2002. Futabasha has brought a number of civil lawsuits against a number of defendants in China, which are unrelated to us, claiming intellectual property infringement. Futabasha has also brought a number of administrative lawsuits against the PRC Trademark Bureau (國家商標局), challenging the latter’s decisions to grant trademark registrations containing the image of the manga series’ main character and the Chinese characters “蠟筆小新” or “蜡笔小新” rendered in different artistic styles to a number of registrants, which are unrelated to us. For instance, Futabasha has brought such an administrative lawsuit to challenge the registered trademarks of a PRC company in Guangzhou that is unrelated to us. The company in Guangzhou has registered trademarks in classes that encompass products such as drawing instruments, spectacles, certain toy products, roller skates, Christmas tree ornaments and eyewear products. As of the Latest Practicable Date, a number of these suits were ongoing.

Our “Labixiaoxin” trademark does not use the image of the “Crayon Shinchan” manga series’ main character and presents the Chinese characters “蜡笔小新” vertically, while Futabasha’s trademarks may use such image and present the Chinese characters “蜡笔小新” horizontally in artistic styles different from ours. As such, our “Labixiaoxin” trademark and Futabasha’s trademarks are clearly distinguishable and not considered similar or identical. For further details about our trademarks, please refer to “Appendix VII – Statutory and General Information – Information about the Business – Intellectual property rights of the Group – Trademarks.” We consider our business inseparable from the use of the “Labixiaoxin” brand name. During the Track Record Period, substantially all of our domestic sales were generated under the “Labixiaoxin” core brand. Although we have registered our “Labixiaoxin” trademark in the PRC in classes covering our jelly products in 2000 and confectionary products in 2002, and our trademark registrations have not been successfully challenged, we cannot assure you that parties claiming to have intellectual property rights in connection with the image of the manga series’ main character or the Chinese characters “蠟筆小新” or “蜡笔小新” rendered in different artistic styles will not bring claims or other proceedings against us in the PRC or other jurisdictions where we sell our products under current or future intellectual property laws or other laws. Any claims or proceedings against us, whether with or without merit, could be costly and time-consuming to defend, and result in the diversion of the attention of our management personnel, thereby adversely affecting our operational and financial positions. In addition, there is no certainty as to the outcome of such claims or proceedings.

THIS WEB PROOF INFORMATION PACK IS IN DRAFT FORM. The information contained herein is incomplete and subject to change and it must be read in conjunction with the section headed “Warning” on the cover of this Web Proof Information Pack.

RISK FACTORS

Moreover, there may be market confusion regarding our “Labixiaoxin” brand name because it may appear similar to brand names used by other Independent Third Parties. In the event that other brand names similar to ours become unpopular or affected by any negative publicity, our “Labixiaoxin” brand name may be adversely affected, which could have a material adverse effect on our reputation, business, results of operations and financial position.

In addition to registrations in connection with our “Labixiaoxin” trademark, we had 110 registered trademarks in China as of the Latest Practicable Date, some of which we do not use in the marking of our products. We cannot assure you that these trademarks will not infringe the intellectual rights owned by third parties, or that third parties will not assert claims to our trademarks. If a third party brings an intellectual property claim against us, even if it is without merit, it will require substantial managerial and financial resources to defend, which could have a material adverse effect on our reputation, business, results of operations and financial position.

Sales of our products are subject to changes in consumer perception, preferences and tastes.

The snack food industry is subject to changes in consumer perception, preferences and tastes. Our business and financial performance depends on factors which may affect the level and pattern of consumer spending in China. Such factors include consumer preferences and tastes, consumer confidence, consumer incomes and consumer perceptions of the safety and quality of our products. Media coverage regarding the safety or quality of, or diet or health issues relating to, food, beverages, raw materials or additives that are used or involved in the manufacturing process may damage consumer confidence in these products. A general decline in the consumption of our products could also occur as a result of a change in consumer preferences, perceptions and spending habits at any time. Our future success will depend partly on our ability to anticipate or adapt to such changes and to offer, on a timely basis, new products that meet consumer preferences. Any failure to adapt our products to respond to such changes may result in a decrease in our sales. Any changes in consumer preferences and tastes could result in lower sales of our products, put pressure on pricing or lead to increased levels of advertising and promotional expenses, thereby materially and adversely affecting our business, results of operations and financial position.

We may be subject to product liability claims.

We, like other food manufacturers, may face product liability claims. The consumption of certain food products may cause illness, injury or, in extreme cases, death. Such illness, injury or death may result from unauthorized tampering by third parties or product contamination or degeneration, including the presence of foreign contaminants, chemical substances or other agents or residues during the various stages of the procurement, production, transportation and storage processes. Such illegal or harmful substances that we are not able to detect or identify using our standard procedures may exist in the raw materials or be brought into the production process due to failure of our employees to follow our production policies, or may result from improper handling during transit or by the distributors or retailers.

In addition, we export a small amount of our products from China to our foreign customers both under OEM arrangements and our own brand, and we rely on other entities such as our PRC export agents and our foreign customers to complete the export sales. Since our export contracts do not address risk allocation regarding product liability, and which party is at fault would be determined based on facts and circumstances of each claim and relevant PRC and foreign laws and regulations, we may be exposed to product liability claims in the PRC or overseas.

RISK FACTORS

Although as of the Latest Practicable Date there had not been any product liability claims against us, in the event that our products are found to be unfit for human consumption or detrimental to human health, resulting in illnesses or deaths of any persons, we may be subject to regulatory investigations, product liability claims and be required to compensate affected parties. While we are subject to government inspections and regulations, we cannot assure you that our products will not be found to be unfit for consumption, or that we will not be subject to claims for significant damages or lawsuits relating to such matters. Furthermore, even if a product liability claim is unsuccessful or is not fully pursued, the negative publicity arising from any assertions that our products may be harmful or unfit for human consumption could adversely affect our reputation and brand image.

We face intense competition from other manufacturers of jelly products as well as other snack food products.

Competition in the snack food industry in the PRC is intense. There are a large number of domestic and international manufacturers of products similar to ours. In addition, as we expand our business and diversify our product offerings, we may face competition for our new snack products in different markets. Competition is primarily manifested in the form of pricing concessions, rapid new product introduction, and intensive advertising campaigns. Some of our competitors may have a longer operating history than we do and may have substantially greater financial resources or research and development capabilities than us. To sustain our competitive edge, we need to invest continuously in product research and development, advertising and promotional activities and, as the case may require, reduce our cost of sales. We cannot assure you that our current or potential competitors will not provide products comparable or superior to those we provide or adapt more quickly than we do to evolving industry trends or changing market preferences. If we are unable to compete effectively with local and foreign competitors, our business, results of operations and financial position will be materially and adversely affected.

In particular, we price our products based on a combination of different factors, including our ability to differentiate our products from those of our competitors and the extent of market competition. We have historically maintained our sales prices at desired levels and differentiate our products from our competitors’ by regularly introducing new or improved products. If we are unable to continue to compete effectively, our ability to continue to price our products at desired levels may be materially and adversely affected, resulting in an adverse impact to our business, our results of operations and financial performance.

We may be adversely impacted by any negative publicity suffered by the food and beverage industry in China or abroad.

The food and beverage industry in China has in the past experienced problems related to contamination and food safety due to adulterated supplies of raw materials and inadequate enforcement of food safety regulations and inspection procedures. For example, in 2008 a significant proportion of the supply of milk and infant formula in China was contaminated with melamine, which affected hundreds of thousands of consumers, and caused the deaths of several infants and illness in thousands of young children. The 2008 melamine incident also resulted in large scale product recalls, the closure of one of China’s largest dairy products manufacturers, and significantly reduced consumer confidence in dairy and dairy-related products, thereby causing a significant decline in the sales of dairy and dairy-related products in China. We use dairy products and other raw materials which may be potentially exposed to contamination to manufacture our confectionary products. During the height of the melamine incident in

– 24 –

RISK FACTORS

early 2009, sales of our candies containing milk experienced a sharp decrease in sales volume, which caused the revenue of our confectionary products to drop by 31.3% from 2008 to 2009 compared to the previous year. Moreover, in May 2011, governmental authorities in Taiwan determined that certain local suppliers had been illegally using certain types of plasticizers as additives in their raw materials, which were used to manufacture a variety of processed food and beverages, including snack food products. Although our food and beverage products do not contain such plasticizers (whether as a result of contamination during the production processes or migration from packaging materials), and the packaging materials we use do not contain plasticizers exceeding levels permitted under relevant PRC laws and regulations, contamination or food safety incidents similar to the melamine or the plasticizer incident in the future could affect consumer perception of the safety of snack food products generally, which may in turn materially and adversely harm our business, results of operation and financial position.

We may not be able to introduce new products successfully.

A key to our expansion strategy is the development and introduction of new snack food products and additional flavors and types of jelly products to complement our existing product lines. We intend to continue to introduce new snack food products and different flavors, sizes and packaging of existing products in the future, such as egg rolls. The success of the new products we introduce depends on our ability to anticipate the changing tastes of consumers and to offer products that appeal to their preferences. We cannot assure you that we will be able to gain market acceptance or significant market share for our new products. Consumer preferences change, and any new products that we introduce may fail to meet the particular tastes or requirements of consumers, or may be unable to replace their existing preferences. Our failure to anticipate, identify or react to these particular tastes or preferences could result in reduced demand for our products. This could in turn lead to our inability to recover our research and development, production and marketing costs, thereby materially and adversely affecting our business, results of operations and financial position.

Our expansion plan may not be successful and we may not successfully manage our growth.

As the scale of our operations grows, we will need to continuously improve our management, operational and financial systems and strengthen our internal procedures and control. Our expansion plans involve widening our product offerings and increasing production volume by expanding our existing production facility in Tianjin Municipality in the next five years. In addition, we have started to construct a new production facility on a parcel of land in Anhui Province which we acquired in 2011. We also plan to continue to expand our distribution network in China and further enhance our relationships with wholesale distributors and key account customers. For more details, please see “Business – Production Process and Production Facilities – Production Expansion Plan” and “Business – Our Business Strategies.” As a result, we may be affected by a number of factors which may not be within our control. These factors include fluctuations in domestic and international demand for our products, changes in consumer taste and preference, increasing competition from snack food manufacturers and other industry participants. An adverse change in any of these factors may disrupt our expansion plans and have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial position. Moreover, we cannot assure you that our existing or future management, operational and financial systems, internal procedures and controls (including those relating to corporate governance) will be adequate to support our expansion and future operations or that we will be able to establish or develop business relationships beneficial to our future operations. Further, we may not be able to obtain adequate financing to complete construction and commence commercial operations of our new production facilities. Failure to execute our expansion plan efficiently, scale our business appropriately and manage our growth effectively could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial position.

RISK FACTORS

We are susceptible to fluctuations in raw materials prices.

Our production costs and profitability depend, in part, on our ability to source and maintain a stable and sufficient supply of raw materials at acceptable prices. Our major raw materials include: jelly powder, sugar, water, canned fruit and packaging materials. We procure all of our raw materials from within the PRC. Our raw material costs (including packaging materials) for the year ended December 31, 2008, 2009 and 2010 and the five months ended May 31, 2011 amounted to RMB393.0 million, RMB394.3 million, RMB497.8 million and RMB301.1 million, respectively, which constituted 89.6%, 81.6%, 84.4% and 83.6%, respectively, of our cost of sales. If we are unable to obtain raw materials in the quantities and of a quality that we require, our volume and/or quality of production will decline, which in turn may have a material adverse effect on our results of operation.

Raw materials we use in our production are subject to price volatility caused by external factors beyond our control, such as climatic and environmental conditions, commodity price fluctuations and changes in government policies which might reduce supply, leading to an increase in supply costs. An increase in the prices of our raw materials, or any inability to source and obtain alternative suppliers, may have a significant impact on our profit margins and hence our profitability. Our total raw material costs are expected to continue to increase in the foreseeable future, consistent with the general trend of rising commodity prices in the PRC. We expect that our raw material costs will continue to fluctuate and be affected by inflation in the future. Price fluctuations in our raw materials may result in unexpected increases in production costs, and if we are unable to manage these costs or to pass on any such increase to our customers, our profitability will decrease. Hence, any significant increase in the price of raw materials may materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial position.

We depend on wholesale distributors, key account agents and export agents to sell our products.

We depend on wholesale distributors, key account agents and export agents to sell our products. As of October 31, 2011, we worked with over 190 wholesale distributors covering 31 provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions in China, 10 key account agents that distributed our products to key account customers in China, and through four PRC export agents, we sold our products both under OEM arrangements and our own brand to our foreign customers primarily in Latin America. We do not have long-term contracts with our wholesale distributors, key account agents and export agents, and we typically negotiate and enter into distribution, master sales or agency agreements for a term of one year. As our existing agreements with our wholesale distributors, key account agents or export agents expire, we may be unable to renew these agreements with our desired wholesale distributors, key account agents or export agents on favorable terms or at all. In addition, these agreements do not set forth clauses such as minimum sales commitments, and therefore may not lead to actual sales. Furthermore, it is possible that we may lose wholesale distributors and key account agents to our competitors. We may also choose to terminate underperforming wholesale distributors. Any disruption in our relationships with our wholesale distributors, key account agents or export agents, including our failure to renew our existing agreements with any of them, could affect our ability to effectively sell our products and would materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial position.

RISK FACTORS

We may be unable to effectively manage our wholesale distributors or key account agents.

We have limited ability to manage the activities of our wholesale distributors and key account agents, which are independent from us. Our wholesale distributors or key account agents may violate their agreements with us through, among other things:

  • selling our products outside their designated models, areas or retail outlets, in violation of the exclusive distribution rights of our other distributors;

  • failing to adhere to our pricing policies;

  • failing to provide proper services to the retailers;

  • failing to adequately promote our products; or

  • selling products that compete with ours.

Failure to adequately manage our wholesale distributors or key account agents, or non-compliance by our wholesale distributors or key account agents with our agreements could harm our corporate image and disrupt our sales. Furthermore, our wholesale distributors or key account agents may violate applicable laws or otherwise engage in illegal practices, with respect to their sales and marketing of our products. In such case, we could be liable for legal actions taken against them and be required to pay damages or fines, which could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial position. In addition, our brand and reputation, our sales activities or the price of our products could be adversely affected if we become the target of any negative publicity as a result of any improper action taken by our wholesale distributors or key account agents.

We are dependent on a skilled workforce to run our production facilities.

As we expand our operations and invest in other production facilities, we will have to continuously recruit qualified employees to work at our production facilities. If the regions surrounding our production facilities are not able to supply a sufficiently sizable workforce or if the cost of labor increases, we may need to expend additional resources to attract and recruit suitable employees. In addition, our operations depend on the experience of our employees, the training of whom may require considerable resources. We cannot assure you that we will be able to recruit or retain employees with the requisite skills, or that we will have the necessary resources to adequately train our employees, or that we will be able to do so at reasonable costs.

We rely on third-party manufacturers for the manufacture of some of our products.

All of our confectionary products and our other products (except for powdered milk tea) are manufactured by independent third-party manufacturers through OEM arrangements with us. We then sell these products under our own brand names and logos. As of October 31, 2011, we had engaged 11 and three OEM partners to manufacture confectionary products and our other products (except for powdered milk tea), respectively. For more information, please see “Business – Production Process and Production Facilities – OEM Arrangements.” For the year ended December 31, 2008, 2009 and 2010 and the five months ended May 31, 2011, products manufactured through OEM arrangements accounted for approximately 14.8%, 9.5%, 11.6% and 12.5% of our total sales, respectively.

– 27 –

THIS WEB PROOF INFORMATION PACK IS IN DRAFT FORM. The information contained herein is incomplete and subject to change and it must be read in conjunction with the section headed “Warning” on the cover of this Web Proof Information Pack.

RISK FACTORS

We may not always be able to find OEM partners operating at a standard acceptable to us. Our OEM partners may not always be able to provide us with required quantities of products of sufficiently high quality in a timely manner and at a competitive price. We may, from time to time, and have in the past, rejected products that failed to meet our specifications, resulting in potential delays to our customers. We cannot assure you that all products manufactured by our OEM partners would meet all of our quality standards. If the products manufactured by our OEM partners and sold under our brand names are defective, or are of poor quality, or fail to meet our customers’ expectations, we may be exposed to liability or our reputation may be damaged. This could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operation and financial position.

Moreover, we suggest all our OEM partners to source all of their raw materials from reputable suppliers. The OEM agreements we enter into with our OEM partners generally provide that the OEM partners will manufacture a particular type of product for us for a term of one year for a fixed price. If there are significant increases in the prices quoted by our OEM partners, we may not be able to fully pass these increases on to our customers due to competitive pricing pressures and that could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial position. In such cases, we may have to seek alternative OEM partners with comparable prices and products which may result in delivery delays to our customers. If we are unable to locate suitable OEM partners or manufacture these products internally, we may have to cease sales of such items, thus materially and adversely affecting our business, results of operation and financial position.

Delays in delivery by independent third-party logistics providers, wholesale distributors, key account agents or export agents may affect our sales and damage our reputation.

We rely on a number of independent third-party logistics providers for the transportation and delivery of our products to our wholesale distributors, key account agents and export agents, and we bear the costs of such product delivery. The vast majority of our products are delivered by road with the remainder being delivered by rail from our production facilities to the warehouses of our wholesale distributors, key account agents, or Chinese ports designated by our PRC export agents. The services provided by these logistics providers could be interrupted and could delay the delivery of our products to customers due to unforeseen events. Delivery disruptions may occur for various reasons beyond our control, including poor handling by logistics providers, transportation bottlenecks, adverse weather conditions and natural disasters, social unrest and labor strikes, which could result in delayed or lost deliveries, and may result in loss of revenue and damage to our reputation. Poor handling by logistics providers could also damage our products. In addition, any significant increase in the cost of transportation, such as increased fuel cost, will increase our operating expenses. Furthermore, wholesale distributors, key account agents or export agents may experience interruptions or delays in the delivery of our products to secondary distributors, retailers (including our key account customers) or our foreign customers due to factors not within our control, which could indirectly adversely affect us. Any delay or lost deliveries may result in loss of revenue, payments of compensation to customers and damage to our reputation, and may materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial position.

Sales of some of our products are subject to seasonality.

The sales of some of our products are subject to seasonality fluctuations. Historically, we have experienced higher sales of our jelly and confectionary products during the traditional Chinese festival and holiday seasons, such as the Chinese New Year, which is typically in the first quarter of our financial year.

– 28 –

THIS WEB PROOF INFORMATION PACK IS IN DRAFT FORM. The information contained herein is incomplete and subject to change and it must be read in conjunction with the section headed “Warning” on the cover of this Web Proof Information Pack.

RISK FACTORS

Seasonal variations may cause fluctuations in our interim sales and profits. As a result, our results of operations fluctuate and our interim results may not proportionately reflect our annual results.

Counterfeiting or imitation of our products may damage our reputation and brand names as well as lead to higher administrative costs.

China’s intellectual property laws are still evolving, and the levels of protection and means of enforcement of intellectual property rights in China differ from those in Hong Kong or other jurisdictions. Counterfeiting and imitation of popular consumer and branded products occur from time to time in China. Most of our products are marketed under our primary “Labixiaoxin” brand, which is a well-recognized brand name for jelly products and is critical to our success. We believe the popularity of our brand name makes it a target of counterfeiting or imitation, with third parties attempting to pass off counterfeit products as our products. In the past, a PRC company used our “Labixiaoxin” trademark on its food products without our authorization. To stop such unauthorized use, we brought a civil action against such company, and made petitions to the SAIC, which recognized our “Labixiaoxin” trademark as a “China Well-Known Trademark” in 2007 and prohibited the unauthorized use by the infringing party. Although we successfully stopped the infringement of our trademark as mentioned above, we cannot assure you that other occurrences of counterfeiting or imitation of our products will not occur in the future and, if they do occur, whether we will be able to detect and deal with them effectively.

During the Track Record Period and up to the Latest Practicable Date, we had not experienced any infringement of our intellectual property rights having a material adverse effect on our business. To protect our intellectual property rights, we undertake proactive anti-counterfeiting measures, including (i) timely registration of marks we intend to use as trademarks in relevant jurisdictions, (ii) active monitoring of the market for potential infringement activities, and (iii) frequent communications with our wholesale distributors to respond to potential infringement activities they have identified in their respective distribution areas. However, we cannot assure you that we will be able to promptly detect the presence of counterfeited products on the market, or that our anti-counterfeiting measures in general will prove effective in preventing counterfeiting and imitation. Any occurrence of counterfeiting or imitation could adversely affect our reputation and brand names, leading to loss of consumer confidence in our brand. In addition, counterfeit and imitation products could result in a reduction of our market share, causing a long-term or even permanent decline in our sales and profitability, as well as increasing our administrative costs in respect of detection and prosecution.

We consider the formulas of our products to be our trade secrets, and our ability to compete could be harmed if such trade secrets were disclosed to third parties.

We rely on trade secret protection to secure our proprietary formulas, production processes and packaging of our products. We rely on a combination of contractual responsibilities and confidential restrictions in agreements with employees, OEM partners and other entities to which we disclose our proprietary formulas, and legal and statutory protections to safeguard our proprietary rights, including ingredients, production formulas and packaging of our products. Any breach of confidentiality by our employees, OEM partners or any other entities having access to our formulas and other trade secrets could result in third parties, including our competitors, gaining access to such formulas and trade secrets. If our competitors are able to successfully imitate our proprietary formulas and/or our product packaging while managing to provide comparable products at competitive prices, our market share may decrease. In addition, the intellectual property-related laws and their implementation in the PRC are still developing,

RISK FACTORS

which results in a degree of uncertainty as to interpretation and enforcement and may limit the legal protections available to us. In the event that the protection afforded by law does not adequately safeguard our trade secrets and other intellectual property rights, we may suffer significant losses in revenues, and our business, results of operations and financial position could be materially and adversely affected.

Our operations are subject to production malfunctions and other risks and routine shutdowns for maintenance.

Our operations are subject to production difficulties such as capacity constraints, mechanical and systems failures, construction and equipment upgrades and delays in the delivery of machineries, any of which could cause suspension of production and reduced output. Scheduled and unscheduled maintenance programs may also affect our production output. We carry out routine maintenance of our production equipment and we also carry out major maintenance work annually. Any significant manufacturing disruption could adversely affect our ability to manufacture and sell products, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial position.

Any disruption in the supply of utilities or an outbreak of fire or other calamities at our production facilities may disrupt our business operations.

The operation of our production facilities depends on a continuous supply of utilities such as electricity and water. In time of excessive demand, the PRC authorities may, as a result of a shortage of power, ration the supply of utilities, such as electricity, and require our production facilities to shut down periodically. In order to reduce the loss of work-in-progress and to resume operational capacity in the event of a power shortage, we maintain backup power systems to provide electricity to our machinery and equipment until they can be safely turned off or switched to backup electricity supplies. However, our backup power systems may not be capable of meeting all of our production needs over a prolonged period of time. Any disruption to the supply of electricity and/or water at our production facilities may disrupt our production, or cause deterioration or loss of our products. This could adversely affect our ability to fulfill our sales orders and consequently may have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial position.

In addition, our facilities and operations are subject to operational risks, such as interruption by fire, earthquake, floods, hardware and software failure, computer viruses, equipment obsolescence, malfunction or failure, labor disputes, industrial accidents and other events beyond our control. While we have implemented fire safety measures in accordance with the relevant regulatory requirements in the PRC and employed additional measures to safeguard our production facilities, we cannot assure you that such measures would be sufficient to prevent any outbreak of fire, damage or losses to our assets in the future. In addition, our fixed assets insurance may be insufficient to cover any damage to, or loss of our major assets. In the event that major damage to our production facilities occur, and our insurance coverage is inadequate to compensate us for such damage, we may suffer significant loss and our business, results of operations and financial position may be materially and adversely affected.

Our workers are subject to risks of serious injury caused by the use of production equipment and tools.

We use heavy machinery and equipment such as industrial mixing, rolling and compressing machines, boiling cauldron and cutting equipment, which are potentially dangerous in our operations. In addition, certain steps of our production processes involve melting sugar and other raw materials at high

RISK FACTORS

temperatures using gas and steam, which could also be hazardous. Any significant accident caused by the use of such equipment or machinery could interrupt our operations and result in legal and regulatory liabilities. While we provide personal injury insurance for our employees, insurance coverage related to accidents resulting from the proper or improper use of such equipment or tools may be inadequate to offset losses arising from claims related to such accidents.

The discontinuation of any of the preferential tax treatments currently available would likely increase our enterprise income tax expenses.

The effective enterprise income tax rates for different companies in China may vary depending on the availability of preferential tax treatments or subsidies based on a company’s industry or location. In accordance with approvals granted by state and local tax bureaus of the PRC, some of our PRC subsidiaries have enjoyed or are still enjoying certain tax preferential treatments and government subsidies. Our operating subsidiary, LBXX Tianjin, is entitled to an exemption from PRC enterprise income tax for two years starting from its first profit-making year and a 50% reduction in the state enterprise income tax for the following three years. The first profit-making year for LBXX Tianjin was the financial year ended December 31, 2008. Upon the expiration of such tax concession, LBXX Tianjin will be subject to the regular PRC enterprise income tax rate of 25%.

In addition, LBXX Fujian has been designated as an NHTE since 2010 and enjoys a 15% enterprise income tax rate as a result. Such designation as an NHTE is subject to review and renewal every three years. If LBXX Fujian fails to retain its status as an NHTE, then it will be subject to the regular PRC enterprise income tax rate of 25%. Any increase in the enterprise income tax rate applicable to us or discontinuation or reduction of any of the preferential tax treatments or financial incentives currently enjoyed by our PRC subsidiaries could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial position. Please see “Financial Information – Factors Affecting our Results of Operations – Taxation” in this document for more information.

We have limited insurance to cover our potential losses and claims.

As is customary in our industry, only some of our production facilities, machinery and equipment, and vehicles, among others, are insured. There is no legal requirement under PRC laws and regulations to insure all production equipment and machinery. However, even if we purchased such comprehensive insurance, certain kinds of losses cannot be insured or insured at a commercially reasonable cost, and our insurance policies are subject to liability limits and exclusions. For example, we do not maintain any product liability insurance coverage with respect to our domestic and export sales. Accordingly, in the event of a successful product liability claim against us, we will be liable for damages and may be ordered to suspend or cease production by the relevant government authorities. This may result in negative publicity and a loss of customer confidence and/or goodwill which could lead to a reduction in sales, cancellation of major contracts or cessation of our business. Any claims by consumers or the government that our snack food products caused injury, illness, or death could have a material adverse effect on our reputation with existing and potential customers and on our business, results of operations and financial position.

In addition, we are not insured against business interruptions resulting from natural disasters such as droughts, floods, earthquakes or severe weather conditions, any suspension or cessation in the supply of utilities and other calamities. As business interruption insurance is not generally available in China, any interruption to our operations, and the resulting losses or damages, could materially adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

RISK FACTORS

We are reliant on our key management personnel.

Our continued success, to a large extent, depends on our ability to retain the services of our key management and operational personnel. The loss of certain existing key personnel including our executive officers without suitable replacements, or the inability to attract and retain suitably qualified personnel, could adversely affect our results of operations. In particular, the loss of the services of our chairman, Mr. Zheng Yu Long, our chief executive officer, Mr. Zheng Yu Shuang, or our vice-chairman, Mr. Zheng Yu Huan, would have a material adverse impact on our performance as they hold key positions with respect to our overall operations, quality control, sales and marketing, strategic planning and business development. We cannot assure you that we will be able to retain the services of such key executives in the future.

We and entities with which we collaborate to export our products may not be able to meet regulatory requirements imposed by the governments of the PRC or our export destinations.

We export a small amount of our products from China to our foreign customers both under OEM arrangements and our own brand. Certain countries to which we export our products may impose technical, hygienic, environmental or other requirements on the export, distribution and sales of our products, which may be different from or more stringent than the standards imposed by the PRC government authorities. In addition to requirements imposed by the PRC government, other countries may also require us and entities with which we collaborate to export our products to obtain various approvals, certificates, registrations or other documentation to conduct our export sales. Although during the Track Record Period and up to the Latest Practicable Date, we had in all material respects complied with all laws and regulations applicable to us and relevant to our export sales in the PRC and in the destination countries to which we export our products by completing all necessary procedures to obtain all relevant health and food safety approvals, certificates, registrations or any other legally required documentation from the relevant government authorities in the PRC and in the destination countries with respect to the relevant exported products, we depend on our export agents and our foreign customers to complete our export sales, and they are responsible for complying with other aspects of the relevant PRC and foreign laws and regulations. As such, we cannot assure you that all of our export agents, our foreign customers or any other entities are in compliance with all other aspects of PRC or foreign laws and regulations relevant to our export sales, or that they can meet the relevant standards or obtain the approvals, certificates, registrations or other documentation necessary to our export sales. If we or other entities with which we collaborate with to export our products fail to satisfy the relevant standards adopted by the PRC or the destination countries or obtain the requisite approvals, certificates, registrations or other documentation now or in the future, our ability to export to these markets could be materially and adversely affected. We may also face regulatory actions or claims for significant damages, and there may be a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial position.

RISK FACTORS

We recorded net current liabilities as of each of December 31, 2008, 2009 and 2010 and we cannot assure you that we will not continue to record net current liabilities.

We recorded net current liabilities of RMB20.7 million, RMB47.7 million and RMB30.4 million as of December 31, 2008, 2009 and 2010, respectively. Our current liabilities primarily consists of trade and other payables as well as bank borrowings. Our current assets primarily consist of trade receivables and inventories. Our current liabilities exceeded our current assets as of each of December 31, 2008, 2009 and 2010. The construction of our Sichuan production facility as part of our production expansion plan resulted in a large amount of capital expenditures from 2008 to 2010, which was partially funded by incurring short-term bank borrowings. We recorded net current assets of RMB95.7 million as of May 31, 2011 and RMB69.9 million as of September 30, 2011. However, there can be no assurance that the net proceeds from the [●] and our internally generated resources will be sufficient to finance all of our capital expenditures and operations in the long run. Thus, it may be necessary for us to resort to additional external financing such as additional bank borrowings. Although we have in place agreed credit limits from our banking facilities, consistent with our experience of Chinese lending practice, the terms of any drawdown thereunder are not set and remain to be agreed prior to any drawdown. Should we fail to obtain sufficient long-term financing in this respect, we will continue to record net current liabilities, which may limit our future development plans and expose us to certain liquidity risks. As a result, our capital structure, business, results of operations and financial position may be materially adversely affected. Please also see “Financial Information – Net Current (Liabilities)/Assets.”

Our subsidiary LBXX Fujian failed to comply with certain financial covenants under the terms of its short-term bank borrowings during the Track Record Period.

Certain short-term borrowings of our subsidiary, LBXX Fujian, from a bank are subject to certain financial covenants, which require LBXX Fujian to maintain a debt ratio of no more than 50%, a current ratio of no lower than 1.0 and a quick ratio of no lower than 0.8 during the terms of the respective loans. As of each of December 31, 2008, 2009 and 2010 and during the five months ended May 31, 2011, LBXX Fujian had drawn down on certain of its bank loans in breach of certain financial covenants. Due to the breaches of these financial covenants, the lending bank became contractually entitled to request early repayment of the outstanding amount of the loans, which amounted to RMB32 million as of May 31, 2011.

On August 17, 2011, LBXX Fujian obtained a waiver from the lending bank in respect of the breach of the financial covenant before May 31, 2011 for the outstanding bank borrowings of RMB32 million as of May 31, 2011. As of the Latest Practicable Date, the lending bank did not request us to make early repayment of the above-mentioned outstanding bank borrowings. For more information, please see “Financial Information – Indebtedness – Borrowings.” We cannot assure you that our subsidiaries will not breach any financial covenants under their respective loan agreements in the future, or that lending banks will not accelerate the repayment obligations or enforce other remedies against us. If we are required to make early repayment, our cash flow position may be adversely affected. Furthermore, non-compliance with financial covenants may trigger cross-default provisions and affect our ability to borrow in the future, which will in turn may have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial position.

RISK FACTORS

RISKS RELATING TO THE FOOD AND BEVERAGE INDUSTRY IN CHINA

Changes in the existing food safety laws may affect our business operations.

Our operations are subject to the food safety laws and regulations of the PRC and other countries to which we export our snack food products, which set out hygiene, safety and manufacturing standards with respect to food as well as hygiene, safety, packaging and other requirements for food production, production facilities and equipment used for the transportation and sale of food. For more information, please see “Appendix V – Summary of Principal PRC Laws and Regulations Relating to Our Business” in this document. In particular, according to the Food Safety Law of the PRC (中華人民共和國食品安全 法) which became effective on June 1, 2009 and its implementation regulations which became effective on July 8, 2009, we are required to follow more stringent quality control and food safety standards, including, among others:

  • food additives may be used only if they are deemed necessary for food production and they must be tested and proven safe in accordance with the risk assessment principles established by the PRC government before they can be used;

  • chemicals other than specifically permitted additives and any substance that may harm human health are forbidden in food production;

  • no food product is exempt from inspection by the relevant food safety supervision authority; and

  • all food manufacturers will have to suspend production immediately and recall all products from the market if such products are found to have failed to meet the requisite food safety standards. The manufacturers are also required to notify the relevant food producers and traders, as well as consumers of such recall and keep record in this regard.

In addition, we are required to maintain proper production records of our snack food products. As the Food Safety Law of the PRC and its implementation regulations are relatively new, there are still some uncertainties as to how it will affect our business operations in the long run. Any failure to comply with the Food Safety Law of the PRC, its implementation regulations or other food safety and hygiene laws and regulations in the PRC may result in fines, suspension of operations, loss of licenses and, in more extreme cases, criminal proceedings may be brought against us and our management. Any of these events will have a material adverse impact on our production, business, results of operations and financial condition.

We cannot assure you that the PRC government will not change the existing laws or regulations or adopt additional or more stringent laws or regulations applicable to us and our business operations. Such new laws and regulations may require the re-configuration of our methods for sourcing raw materials, production, processing and transportation, including more onerous food safety, labeling and packaging requirements, more stringent compliance requirement for waste management, increases in transportation costs and greater uncertainty in production and sourcing estimate. Our failure to comply with any applicable laws and regulations could subject us to civil liabilities, including fines, injunctions, product recalls or seizures, as well as potential criminal sanctions, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial position.

RISK FACTORS

We are subject to increasingly stringent environmental protection regulations.

Our production, sales and distribution operations are subject to PRC regulations on environmental protection. They relate to, among other things, waste water discharges, exhaust gas emissions, noise emissions and industrial solid waste discharge from production facilities and waste disposal practices. Moreover, under the Regulations on The Administration of Construction Project Environmental Protection (建設項目環境保護管理條例), we are required to submit an environmental impact assessment report to the relevant government authorities for preliminary approval before the construction of our production facilities and the installation of pollution treatment facilities, and we are subject to environmental protection examinations and required to obtain approval from the relevant government authorities after we have completed the installation of our manufacturing equipment and before the production facility may commence commercial operation. If we fail to comply with applicable environmental regulations and standards, we may be subject to fines, orders for suspension of production, orders for damage compensation, or even criminal liabilities. We cannot assure you that the PRC government will not implement additional or more stringent laws or regulations, the compliance with which may cause us to incur significant costs, which we may be unable to pass on to our customers.

The enforcement of the PRC Labor Contract Law and increases in labor costs in the PRC may adversely affect our business and our profitability.

The Labor Contract Law of the PRC (中華人民共和國勞動法) came into effect on January 1, 2008 and its implementation rules were promulgated and became effective on September 18, 2008. The Labor Contract Law and its implementation rules impose more stringent requirements on employers with regard to entering into written employment contracts, hiring temporary employees and dismissing employees. The Labor Contract Law and its implementation rules also establish requirements relating to, among others, minimum wages, severance payments and non-fixed term employment contracts, time limits for probation periods as well as duration and the number of times that an employee can be placed on fixed term employment contracts. It also provides that social insurance is required to be paid on behalf of the employees and the employees are entitled to unilaterally terminate the labor contracts if this requirement is not satisfied.

In addition, under the Regulations on Paid Annual Leave for Employees (職工帶薪年休假條例), which also came into effect on January 1, 2008, and its implementation measures, which were promulgated and became effective on September 18, 2008, employees who have served more than one year for an employer are entitled to paid annual leave ranging from five to 15 days, depending on their length of service. Employees who waive such annual leave at the request of employers shall be compensated at a rate of three times of their normal salaries for each waived annual leave day. Such new laws and regulations may increase our labor costs. In addition, certain companies operating in the PRC have experienced labor unrest in 2010 as a result of workers’ dissatisfaction with working conditions and remuneration. We cannot assure you that these labor strikes will not affect general labor market conditions or result in changes to labor laws in the PRC, which in turn could adversely affect our business. Any significant increases in our labor costs and future disputes with our employees could nonetheless adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial position.

RISK FACTORS

We are required to maintain various licenses and permits to operate our business, and the loss of or failure to renew any or all of these licenses and permits could materially adversely affect our business operations.

In accordance with PRC laws and regulations, we are required to maintain various licenses and permits in order to operate our business including, without limitation, Food Hygiene License (食品衛生許可證) and Production License for Industrial Products (工業產品生產許可證). We are required to comply with applicable hygiene and food safety standards in relation to our production processes. Our premises and transportation vehicles are subject to regular inspections by the regulatory authorities for compliance with the Implementation Rules for the Supervision and Administration on the Quality Safety of the Food Manufacturing and Processing Enterprises (Trial) (食品生產加工企業質量安全監督管理實施細則(試行)). Failure to pass these inspections, or the loss of or failure to renew our licenses and permits, could require us to temporarily or permanently suspend some or all of our production activities, which could disrupt our operations and adversely affect our business.

The food and beverage industry in China is significantly impacted by fluctuations in the global economy and financial markets.

The food and beverage industry in China is significantly impacted by fluctuations in the global economy and financial market. For example, the recent global economic slowdown and turmoil in the global financial markets that started in the fourth quarter of 2008 have resulted in a general credit crunch, an increased level of commercial and consumer delinquencies, lack of consumer confidence and increased market volatility. The slowdown of the worldwide economy, including that of the PRC, caused a drop in consumer confidence and the level of disposable income, which translated into lower demand for our products, affecting our results of operations. These adverse market developments and the associated uncertainties may continue to present significant challenges to the global and local economies and financial markets. As a result, the global and local economies, including the PRC economy, could continue to experience significant volatility. Significant volatility or another downturn in the PRC and global economy in the future could have a material adverse effect on the food and beverage industry in China and the demand for our products, which may affect our business, results of operations and financial position. In addition, the general lack of available credit and confidence in the financial markets associated with any market volatility or downturn could adversely affect our access to capital as well as our suppliers’ and customers’ access to capital, which in turn could adversely affect our ability to fund our working capital requirements and capital expenditures.

RISKS RELATING TO THE PRC

PRC economic, political and social conditions, as well as governmental policies, could affect our business and prospects.

Our production facilities are located in China. The PRC economy differs from the economies of most developed countries in many respects, including:

  • the degree of PRC governmental involvement;

  • growth rate and degree of development;

  • uniformity in the implementation and enforcement of laws;

– 36 –

RISK FACTORS

  • content of and control over capital investment;

  • control of foreign exchange; and

  • allocation of resources.

The PRC economy has been transitioning from a centrally planned economy to a more marketoriented economy. For approximately three decades, the PRC government has implemented economic reform measures to utilize market forces in the development of the PRC economy. In addition, the PRC government continues to play a significant role in regulating industries and the economy through policy measures. We cannot predict whether changes in PRC economic, political or social conditions and in PRC laws, regulations and policies will have any adverse effect on our current or future business, results of operations and financial position.

In addition, many of the economic reforms carried out by the PRC government are unprecedented or experimental and are expected to be refined and improved over time. Other political, economic and social factors may also lead to further adjustments of the reform measures. This refining and adjustment process may not necessarily have a positive effect on our operations and business development.

Our business, results of operations and financial position may be adversely affected by:

  • changes in PRC political, economic and social conditions;

  • changes in policies of the PRC government, including changes in policies affecting the food and beverage industry;

  • changes in laws and regulations or the interpretation of laws and regulations;

  • measures that may be introduced to control inflation or deflation;

  • changes in rates or methods of taxation;

  • imposition of additional restrictions on currency conversion and remittance abroad; and

  • reduction in tariff protection and other import restrictions.

Further, the growth of demand in China for snack food products depends heavily on economic growth. Between 1978 and 2010, China’s GDP increased from approximately RMB365 billion to approximately RMB39,798 billion. We cannot assure you that such growth will be sustained in the future. Since early 2004 and from time to time, the PRC government has implemented certain measures in order to prevent the PRC economy from experiencing excessive inflation. Such governmental measures may cause a decrease in the level of economic activity, including demand for our snack food products, and have an adverse impact on economic growth in the PRC. If China’s economic growth slows down or if the Chinese economy experiences a recession, the growth of demand for snack food products may also slow down or stop. Such events could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial position.

RISK FACTORS

Changes in government control of currency conversion and in PRC foreign exchange regulations may adversely affect our business operations.

The PRC government imposes controls on the convertibility between Renminbi and foreign currencies and the remittance of foreign exchange out of China. We receive substantially all of our revenue in Renminbi. Under our current corporate structure, our income is primarily derived from dividend payments from our PRC subsidiaries. Our PRC subsidiaries must convert their Renminbi earnings into a foreign currency before they may pay cash dividends to us or service their foreign currency denominated obligations. Under existing PRC foreign exchange regulations, payments of current-account items may be made in foreign currencies without prior approval from the SAFE, by complying with certain procedural requirements.

However, approval from appropriate governmental authorities is required when Renminbi is converted into foreign currencies and remitted out of China for capital-account transactions, such as the repatriation of equity investment in China and the repayment of the principal of loans or debt denominated in foreign currencies. Such restrictions on foreign exchange transactions under capital accounts also affect our ability to finance our PRC subsidiaries. Subsequent to this [●], we have the choice, as permitted by the PRC foreign investment regulations, to invest our net proceeds from this [●] in the form of registered capital or a shareholder loan into our PRC subsidiaries to finance our operations in China. Our choice of investment is affected by the relevant PRC regulations with respect to capital-account and current-account foreign exchange transactions in China. Our investment decisions are additionally affected by various other measures taken by the PRC government relating to the PRC food and beverage industry, including those disclosed in the section headed “Appendix V – Summary of Principal PRC Laws and Regulations Relating to Our Business.” In addition, our transfer of funds to our subsidiaries in China is subject to approval by PRC governmental authorities in the case of an increase in registered capital, and subject to approval by and registration with PRC governmental authorities in case of shareholder loans to the extent that the existing foreign investment approvals received by our PRC subsidiaries permit any such shareholder loans at all. These limitations on the flow of funds between us and our PRC subsidiaries could restrict our ability to act in response to changing market conditions.

We may be deemed a PRC resident enterprise under the new PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law and be subject to PRC taxation on our worldwide income. The PRC resident enterprise classification could result in unfavorable tax consequences to us and our non-PRC shareholders.

Under the 2008 Tax Law and its implementation regulations (collectively, the “2008 Tax Laws”), enterprises established under the laws of jurisdictions outside the PRC with their “de facto management bodies” located within the PRC may be considered PRC resident enterprises and therefore subject to PRC enterprise income tax at the rate of 25% on their worldwide income. The 2008 Tax Laws provide that “de facto management body” of an enterprise is the organization that exercises substantial and overall management and control over the production, business operations, employees, books of accounts and properties of the enterprise. In April 2009, the PRC tax authority promulgated a circular providing specific tests regarding under what situations the “de facto management body” of an offshore enterprise controlled by PRC enterprises or PRC enterprise group would be considered to be located in the PRC, but there had been no official tax rules promulgated regarding the determination of “de facto management bodies” for foreign enterprises which are not controlled by PRC enterprises or PRC enterprise group like ourselves. However, as substantially all of our management team members currently reside in the PRC and may remain in the PRC in the future, our Company may be deemed a PRC resident enterprise and therefore be

RISK FACTORS

subject to the PRC enterprise income tax at a rate of 25% on its worldwide income, which may have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial position. Although under the EIT Law and its implementing rules, dividend income between qualified PRC resident enterprises, such as a dividend received by a PRC resident enterprise attributable to an equity interest it directly owns in another PRC resident enterprise, is exempted from income tax, it remains unclear whether dividends distributed by our PRC subsidiaries to our Company and to our overseas Shareholders will qualify for tax exemption even if our Company and our overseas Shareholders are considered PRC resident enterprises for tax purposes because there is no published rules in this regard for offshore enterprises controlled by PRC individuals or foreign individuals. Moreover, according to the Notice on Issues Regarding Tax Credit for Enterprises Foreign Income (Cai Shui [2009] No. 25) (關於企業境外所得稅收抵免有關問題的通知(財 稅[2009]25號)), which was jointly issued by the Ministry of Finance and SAT on December 25, 2009 and became effective retroactively on January 1, 2008, certain enterprise income tax may be relieved if a PRC resident enterprise has already paid the income tax offshore. However, as the 2008 Tax Laws are relatively new and ambiguities still exist with respect to the interpretation of the provisions relating to resident enterprise issues, we cannot assure you that we are eligible for such PRC enterprise income tax exemptions or foreign tax credits. Finally, if we are deemed to be a PRC “resident enterprise,” dividends payable by us to our investors and gain on the sale of our Shares may become subject to PRC withholding tax.

The new PRC enterprise income tax law will affect tax exemptions on dividends to be paid by our PRC subsidiaries to us through our Hong Kong subsidiary and we may not able to obtain certain treaty benefits under the relevant tax treaty.

Prior to January 1, 2008, dividend payments to foreign investors made by FIEs, such as dividends paid to us by our PRC subsidiaries, were exempt from PRC withholding tax. However, the 2008 Tax Laws, effective January 1, 2008, provide that any dividend payment to foreign investors who are non-resident enterprises will be subject to a withholding tax at a rate of 10%, unless any such foreign investors are qualified for a preferential withholding tax rate under the relevant taxation treaties or arrangements entered into between the PRC and other countries or areas. For instance, pursuant to the Arrangement between Mainland China and Hong Kong for the Avoidance of Double Taxation and Prevention of Fiscal Evasion with respect to Taxes on Income (內地和香港特別行政區關於對所得避免雙重徵稅和防止偷漏稅 的安排) signed on August 21, 2006, which in Hong Kong applies to income derived in any year of assessment commencing on or after April 1, 2007; and in the PRC in any year commencing on or after January 1, 2007, a company incorporated in Hong Kong will be subject to withholding income tax at a rate of 5% on dividends it receives from its PRC subsidiaries if it holds a 25% or more interest in that particular PRC subsidiary at the time of the distribution, or 10% if it holds less than a 25% interest in that subsidiary.

If foreign investors intend to enjoy the preferential withholding income tax rate based on the relevant taxation treaties or arrangements entered into between the PRC and other countries or areas, they are required to obtain prior approval from the relevant tax authorities according to the Circular on Printing and Issuing the Administrative Measures (Trial) for Enjoying Treatment Under Taxation Treaties by Non-resident Individuals and Enterprises (關於印發《非居民享受稅收協定待遇管理辦法(試行)》的通知) issued by SAT, which became effective on October 1, 2009. It is likely that eligibility will be assessed based on a substantive analysis of the shareholder’s tax residency and economic substance. With respect to dividends, the beneficial ownership tests under Circular 601 (關於如何理解和確定稅收協定中受益所有 人的通知), which was issued by SAT on October 27, 2009, will also apply. In addition, according to the Circular of the State Administration of Taxation on Relevant Issues relating to the Implementation of Dividend Clauses in Tax Treaty Agreements (國家稅務總局關於執行稅收協定股息條款有關問題的通知)

RISK FACTORS

issued by SAT on February 20, 2009, if the main purpose of an offshore transaction is to obtain a preferential tax treatment, the PRC tax authorities have the discretion to adjust the preferential withholding tax rate levied on the relevant offshore entity. If our Hong Kong subsidiaries cannot be regarded as the beneficial owners of the dividends paid by our PRC subsidiaries to us, they will not be entitled to the treaty benefits and enjoy the preferential tax rate of 5% under the special tax arrangement between China and Hong Kong and thus the dividends will be subject to normal withholding tax of 10% as provided by the 2008 Tax Laws.

We are a holding company that relies heavily on dividend payments from our subsidiaries for funding.

We are a holding company and rely principally on dividends paid by our PRC subsidiaries for cash requirements, including the funds necessary to service any debt we may incur. If any of our subsidiaries incurs debt in its own name in the future, the instruments or agreements governing the debt may restrict dividends or other distributions from our PRC subsidiaries to us. Furthermore, applicable PRC laws, rules and regulations permit payment of dividends by our PRC subsidiaries only out of their accumulated retained earnings, if any, determined in accordance with PRC accounting standards. Our PRC subsidiaries are required to set aside a certain percentage of their after tax profits based on PRC accounting standards each year to their statutory reserves in accordance with the requirements of relevant PRC laws and provisions in their respective articles of associations. As a result, our PRC subsidiaries are restricted in their ability to transfer a portion of their net income to us whether in the form of dividends, loans or advances. These restrictions and requirements could reduce the amount of distributions that we receive from our subsidiaries, which would restrict our ability to fund our operations, generate income, pay dividends and service our indebtedness.

Interpretation of the PRC laws and regulations involves uncertainty and the current legal environment in China could limit the legal protections available to you.

Our core business is conducted in China and is governed by PRC laws and regulations. Our principal operating subsidiaries are located in China and are subject to PRC laws and regulations. The PRC legal system is a civil law system based on written statutes, and prior court decisions have limited precedential value and can only be used as a reference. Additionally, PRC written laws are often principle-oriented and require detailed interpretations by the enforcement bodies to further apply and enforce such laws. Since 1979, the PRC legislature has promulgated laws and regulations in relation to economic matters such as foreign investment, corporate organization and governance, commercial transactions, taxation and trade, with a view to developing a comprehensive system of commercial law, including laws relating to the food and beverage industry. However, because these laws and regulations have not been fully developed, and because of the limited volume of published cases and the non-binding nature of prior court decisions, interpretation of PRC laws and regulations involves a degree of uncertainty and the legal protection available to you may be limited. Depending on the governmental agency or the presentation of an application or case to such agency, we may receive less favorable interpretations of laws and regulations than our competitors. In addition, any litigation in China may be protracted and result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and management attention. All these uncertainties may cause difficulties in the enforcement of our land use rights, entitlements under our permits, and other statutory and contractual rights and interests.

RISK FACTORS

The national and regional economies in China and our business prospects may be adversely affected by natural disasters, acts of God, and occurrence of epidemics.

Our business is subject to general economic and social conditions in China. Natural disasters, epidemics and other acts of God which are beyond our control may adversely affect the economy, infrastructure and livelihood of the people in China. Some regions in China, including the municipalities where we operate, are under the threat of flood, earthquake, sandstorm, snowstorm, fire, drought, or epidemics such as Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome, or SARS, H5N1 avian flu or the human swine flu, also known as Influenza A (H1N1). For instance, a serious earthquake and its successive aftershocks hit Sichuan Province in May 2008 and resulted in tremendous loss of life and destruction in the region. In addition, past epidemics have caused varying degrees of damage to the national and local economies in China. Certain areas of the PRC and our other export markets are susceptible to epidemics such as SARS, H5N1 avian flu, the human swine flu, or foot-and-mouth disease. An occurrence or recurrence of any of these or other epidemics in areas where facilities producing our products are located or where our products are sold may result in material disruptions to our business operations, write-downs of capital expenditures we have invested in our production bases or livestock breeding facilities, and our sales and marketing, which in turn could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial position.

It may be difficult to effect service of process upon us or our Directors or executive officers who live in China or to enforce against them in the PRC judgments obtained from non-PRC courts.

A significant portion of our assets and our subsidiaries are located in China. In addition, most of our Directors and officers reside within China, and the assets of our Directors and officers may also be located within China. As a result, it may not be possible to effect service of process outside China upon most of our Directors and officers, including for matters arising under applicable securities laws. Moreover, a judgment of a court of another jurisdiction may be reciprocally recognized or enforced if the jurisdiction has a treaty with China or if judgments of PRC courts have been recognized before in that jurisdiction, subject to the satisfaction of other requirements. In addition, Hong Kong has no arrangement for the reciprocal enforcement of judgments with the United States. As a result, recognition and enforcement in the PRC or Hong Kong of judgments of a court in other jurisdictions in relation to any matter not subject to a binding arbitration provision is subject to uncertainties.

In addition, although we will be subject to the [●] and the Hong Kong Code on Takeovers and Mergers or the Hong Kong Takeover Code upon the [●] of our Shares on the [●], the holders of our Shares will not be able to bring actions on the basis of violations of the [●] and must rely on the [●] to enforce its rules. Furthermore, the Hong Kong Takeover Code does not have the force of law and provides only standards of commercial conduct considered acceptable for takeover and merger transactions and share repurchases in Hong Kong.

PRC regulation of direct investment and loans by offshore holding companies to PRC entities may delay or limit us from using the proceeds of the [] to make additional contributions or loans to our PRC subsidiaries.

Any capital contribution or loan that we, as an offshore entity, make to our PRC subsidiaries, including from the proceeds of the [●], is subject to PRC regulations. For example, any of our loans to our PRC subsidiaries cannot exceed the difference between the total amount of investment that our

respective PRC subsidiaries are approved to make under relevant PRC laws and their respective registered capital, and any such loans must be registered with the local branch of SAFE. In addition, our additional capital contributions to our PRC subsidiaries must be approved by MOFCOM or its local counterpart. We cannot give assurance that we will be able to obtain these approvals on a timely basis, or at all. If we fail to obtain such approvals, our ability to make equity contributions or provide loans to our PRC subsidiaries or to fund its operations may be adversely affected, which could harm our PRC subsidiaries’ liquidity and their ability to fund their working capital and expansion projects and meet their obligations and commitments.

In addition, in August 2008, SAFE promulgated Circular 142 (國家外匯局綜合司關於完善外商投資 企業外匯資本金支付結匯管理有關業務操作問題的通知), a notice regulating the conversion by a foreigninvested company of foreign currency into Renminbi by restricting how the converted Renminbi may be used. Circular 142 requires that Renminbi converted from the foreign currency-denominated capital of a foreign-invested company may only be used for purposes within the business scope approved by the applicable governmental authority and may not be used for equity investments within the PRC unless otherwise specifically provided for. In addition, SAFE has strengthened its oversight over the flow and use of Renminbi funds converted from the foreign currency-denominated capital of a foreign-invested company. The use of such Renminbi may not be changed without approval from SAFE, and may not be used to repay Renminbi loans if the proceeds of such loans have not yet been used. Violations of Circular 142 may result in severe penalties, including substantial fines as set forth in the Foreign Exchange Administration Rules of the PRC (中華人民共和國外匯管理條例). The relevant foreign exchange administrative authority may order the foreign-invested company concerned to take appropriate remedial actions, confiscate any illegal income and impose a fine of up to 30% of the illegal amount involved. Where the circumstances of infringement are serious, a fine of between 30% and 100% of the illegal amount involved may be imposed on the foreign-invested company.

Failure to comply with the SAFE regulations relating to the establishment of offshore special purpose vehicles by PRC residents may adversely affect our business operations.

In October 2005, SAFE issued SAFE Circular No.75, which took effect on November 11, 2005. Also, in May 2011, SAFE issued implementation rules for the administration of foreign exchanges with respect to the financing and round-trip investments of domestic residents via overseas special purpose companies which took effect on July 1, 2011. The SAFE Circular No.75 and its implementation rules require domestic residents of the PRC (including individuals who habitually reside within the PRC due to economic interests) to register with and obtain approvals from SAFE before establishing or controlling any company outside the PRC for the purpose of capital financing with assets or equities of PRC companies, referred to therein as a “special purpose company.” In addition, any PRC resident that is a shareholder of an offshore special purpose company is required to amend its SAFE registration within 30 working days after any major change in the share capital of the offshore special purpose company without any return investment being made, such as any increase or decrease in share capital, stock right assignment or exchange, consolidation or subdivision of shares, investment with long term stock rights or credits, or provision of guaranty to a foreign party.

SAFE Circular No. 75, none of Mr. Zheng Yu Long, Mr. Zheng Yu Shuang, Mr. Zheng Yu Huan is considered to be holding equity interests in the form of domestic investment in domestic enterprises when they carry out offshore equity financing (including convertible bond financing) and round-trip investments with their equity interests in our PRC operating subsidiaries. Additionally, based on the confirmation letter issued by SAFE (Jinjiang branch), none of Mr. Zheng Yu Long, Mr. Zheng Yu Shuang and Mr. Zheng Yu Huan habitually resides in the PRC for reasons related to economic interests under SAFE Circular No.75 and therefore they are not subject to the relevant registration requirements. As advised by the Company’s PRC legal adviser, Jingtian & Gongcheng, based on all of the above, none of Mr. Zheng Yu Long, Mr. Zheng Yu Shuang, Mr. Zheng Yu Huan and Mr. Li Hung Kong is required to register his offshore investment with SAFE. However, we may not at all times be fully informed of the identities of all our shareholders who are PRC residents and we do not have control over our shareholders. As such, we cannot assure you that all of our PRC resident beneficial owners will comply with SAFE Circular No.75 and its implementation rules. The failure of our beneficial owners who are PRC residents to register or amend their SAFE registrations in a timely manner pursuant to SAFE Circular No.75 and its implementation rules or the failure of future shareholders who are PRC residents to comply with the registration requirements set out in SAFE Circular No.75 and its implementation rules may subject such beneficial owners and/or our PRC subsidiaries to fines and legal sanctions and may also limit our ability to contribute additional capital to our PRC subsidiaries, limit the ability of our PRC subsidiaries to distribute dividends to us or otherwise materially and adversely affect our business.

The M&A Rules established more complex procedures for acquisitions by foreign investors, which could make it more difficult for us to pursue growth through acquisitions.

On August 8, 2006, six PRC regulatory agencies, including MOFCOM, the State Administration of Taxation, the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, the State Administration for Industry and Commerce, CSRC, and SAFE, jointly adopted the M&A Rules, which became effective on September 8, 2006 and was revised on June 22, 2009. The M&A Rules established stringent procedures and requirements that could make merger and acquisition activities by foreign investors more timeconsuming and complex, including requirements in some instances that the MOFCOM be notified in advance of any change-of-control transaction in which a foreign investor takes control of a PRC domestic enterprise. In the future, we may expand our business in part by acquiring complementary businesses, although we have not identified any target at this time. Complying with the requirements of the M&A Rules to complete such transactions could be time-consuming, and any required approval processes, including obtaining approval from the MOFCOM, may delay or inhibit our ability to complete such transactions, which could affect our ability to expand our business or maintain our market share.

Failure to comply with PRC regulations in respect of the registration of our PRC citizen employees’ share options may subject such employees or us to fines and legal or administrative sanctions.

Pursuant to the Administrative Measures on Individual Foreign Exchange (個人外匯管理辦法) which was adopted on November 30, 2006 by the PBOC, the Implementation Rules of the Administration Measure for Individual Foreign Exchange (個人外匯管理辦法實施細則) issued on January 5, 2007 by the SAFE (the “Individual Foreign Exchange Rules”) and the Operating Rules on the Foreign Exchange Administration of the Involvement of Domestic Individuals in the Employee Stock Ownership Plans and Share Option Schemes of Overseas Listed Companies (境內個人參與境外上市公司員工持股計劃和認股期 權計劃等外匯管理操作規程) issued on March 28, 2007 by the SAFE (“Circular 78”), PRC citizens who are granted shares or share options by an overseas listed company according to its employee share option

Segment in the Jelly Market

The jelly market can largely be divided into two categories: jelly snacks and jelly beverages. The jelly snacks segment accounted for 76.6% of the total jelly market in 2010 while jelly beverages accounted for 23.4%. Both jelly snacks and jelly beverages are available in various flavors in different shapes and packaging.

Jelly snacks are typically sold by weight as individually packaged ready-to-eat unit in the “pick-and-mix” specialty counters of larger modern food retailers where customers pick and pay according to the weight or the quantity of the products. It is also packaged into containers or bags and sold in pre-packaged form. “Pick-and-mix” jelly and pre-packaged jelly accounted for 70.0% and 30.0% of the total jelly snacks retail sales value in 2010 respectively. However, recent developments have shown the share of packaged jelly is increasing and is expected to account for 35.0% of the market in 2013. This is partly driven by the continuous improvement in packaging as well as promotional campaigns by manufacturers. Some manufacturers have been promoting packaged jelly as a gift item and have introduced toy shaped packaging, such as animal shaped jars, which have been increasingly popular among children.

Jelly beverages are typically sold by individual pieces. It is a relatively new product category and was introduced as an alternative to jelly snacks. It is perceived to be a safer and a more convenient product than traditional jelly snacks as small jelly snacks may pose a choking hazard and often leak when the package is opened. Currently, jelly beverages are primarily targeted toward children as the core consumer group. However, manufacturers are expected to increase their product offerings and expand into adjacent consumer groups.

In addition, the Chinese government is increasingly focused on private consumption as the key driver of economic growth going forward, as opposed to the previous focus on exports and foreign investment. For example, in 2008 the government announced a RMB4 trillion stimulus plan which was focused on boosting domestic demand through increased spending in areas such as low-income housing, rural infrastructure, technological innovation, transportation and infrastructure. Other initiatives undertaken by the Chinese government include testing new consumer lending policies to improve the market structure in consumer lending and facilitating more open lines of credit for consumers. China’s Twelfth Five-Year Plan for 2011-2015 seeks to create an environment for more sustainable growth by prioritizing domestic consumption, and improving social infrastructure as well as social safety nets. The plan also seeks to rebalance the economy, shifting the emphasis from investment in urban and coastal growth, towards rural and inland development.

INDUSTRY OVERVIEW

Increasing consumer health and food safety awareness

With improved living standards and higher disposable incomes, consumers in China are becoming more familiar with the concepts of wellness, partly as a result of consumer education programs and marketing campaigns by food companies as well as the government. China’s Twelfth Five-Year Plan for 2011-2015 places great emphasis on the development of a diet of nutritious and healthy food, particularly products that may enhance nutrient balance and improve immunity; low-sugar, low-salt and high fiber nutritious food; intensified food for supplementation of different nutrient elements for different groups, such as microelements and vitamins. These government policies provide incentives for various businesses to develop healthy products.

Increased access to information through widespread Internet usage in China has also played an important role in boosting consumers’ knowledge and awareness of health and value added food products. This increased sophistication and awareness have led to an increased demand in natural and value added products with demands particularly pronounced in urban areas. Consumers are now willing to pay more for higher quality jelly products.

According to Euromonitor, “healthy” or “better for you” jelly products are defined as jelly products, which are marketed on the basis of being “healthy” or “better for you.” This may be either through the brand name alone or through nutrient content claims such as “low fat,” “30% less sugar” or similar claims. With greater consumer health and food awareness and rising disposable incomes, consumers are increasingly demanding newer, healthier products. In response to this demand, manufacturers have launched into the market a number of new products including low fat jelly, high-calcium jelly and aloe jelly. According to Euromonitor, there has been a continued shift in demand for “healthy” or “better for you” jelly products from traditional jelly products, and this trend is expected to continue going forward. The share of “healthy” or “better for you” products as a percentage of the total jelly products retail sales value increased from 21% in 2008 to 26% in 2010. The chart below sets forth the market share of “healthy” or “better for you” jelly products by the total retail sales value for the periods indicated:

INDUSTRY OVERVIEW

Improved distribution of products throughout China

According to Euromonitor, jelly products are increasingly being purchased through modern food retailers, which include supermarkets and hypermarkets, with their market share increasing from 54.7% in 2008 to 55.1% in 2010. The share of sales through modern food retailers has been increasing steadily at the expense of snack food specialists as the latter have been struggling to cope with the increasing pricing pressure and competition from modern food retailers. The chart below sets forth the percentage of jelly products sold through modern food retailers by the retail sales value for the periods indicated:

Leading food retailers including RT-Mart, Wal-Mart, Carrefour and China Resources Vanguard have continued to expand their store networks throughout China and are expected to continue their rapid expansion. Rising penetration of modern retail formats such as hypermarkets and supermarkets, notably into more rural areas in China, is expected to significantly improve access to jelly products. Furthermore, significant continued investment in logistics and infrastructure has helped to facilitate improvements in the distribution of jelly products to consumers.

The robust growth in modern retail network has largely been due to both leading domestic and international retail corporations, backed by significant capital and resources, establishing and expanding their presence significantly, as compared to traditional retail formats that are typically independent and owned by individuals rather than corporations.

Barriers to entry are increasing

As the number of products available to customers continue to increase, marketing and advertising as well as product differentiation have become increasingly important. Larger and more well-known brands are able to leverage their scale on marketing, branding and purchasing materials at a favorable rate.

In addition, with food safety being increasingly important to consumers, the government is responding by establishing higher standards and stricter regulations. The Chinese government created the State Food and Drug Administration or SFDA in 2003 to monitor and consolidate food safety regulations. Recently, the SFDA has increased the number of inspections as well as implemented stricter requirements on product ingredients and packaging materials. Many small-sized jelly manufacturers were not able to pass these food safety inspections and were forced to shut down. In contrast, better known brands that are trusted by consumers have continued to gain market shares. As a result, the entry barriers for the jelly industry are increasing.

INDUSTRY OVERVIEW

As modern retail channels continue to attract consumers and further penetrate the market, the sales value of jelly products are increasingly reliant on hypermarkets and supermarket chains. The top five jelly manufacturers have well-established distribution networks as well as strong relationships with the leading modern food retailers. With increasing entry costs and ongoing charges of hypermarkets and supermarket chains, it has become increasingly difficult for new and smaller manufacturers to enter the jelly market.

Competitive Landscape

The jelly market is dominated by the top five jelly manufacturers with a combined market share of 48.0% in 2010 in terms of total retail sales value. Out of the top five jelly manufacturers, the Company and Fujian Qinqin have been the key consolidators in the market, taking market share away from smaller operators and increasing market share by over a percentage point between 2008 and 2010. The Company recorded the largest gain among the top five manufacturers with market share increasing from 9.0% in 2008 to 10.3% in 2010 in terms of total retail sales value of jelly products.

Despite the dominance of the top five manufacturers, competition has intensified as leading jelly manufacturers continued to further expand their product offerings and new entrants continued to seek entry into the jelly market. However, despite such attempts by new entrants, the top five manufacturers have continued to gain market shares mainly due to better brand awareness and nationwide distribution networks. We believe that in the longer term, consolidations will continue in the jelly sector and similar to the historical trend seen in the overall global snack food market.

Jelly Snacks

According to the Euromonitor, our company was the second largest jelly snacks manufacturer in China with a market share of 9.0%, 9.2 and 9.4% in 2008, 2009 and 2010, respectively, in terms of the retail sales value.

HISTORY AND CORPORATE STRUCTURE

HISTORY AND DEVELOPMENT

Our Company was incorporated under the laws of Bermuda on May 4, 2004 as an exempted company with limited liability. In order to enhance our corporate profile, increase the liquidity of our Shares and the scope of our shareholder base, expand sources of funding for our then expansion plans and capitalize on investment opportunities in Singapore and other countries in South-east Asia, our Company was listed on the SGX-ST on August 26, 2005. Our Company was subsequently delisted from the SGX-ST on May 6, 2010. For further details, please refer to the paragraph “— Delisting from SGX-ST” in this section.

Our history can be traced back to 2000, when Mr. Zheng Yu Long, Mr. Zheng Yu Shuang and Mr. Zheng Yu Huan began their business of producing jelly snacks and beverages through Jinjiang Weili Foods Co., Ltd. (晉江市味力食品有限公司), a privately owned company established in the PRC and operated by their father since 1991. In early 2000, witnessing growth in the jelly products market and seeing great potential for further growth and expansion, Mr. Li Hung Kong (the brother-in-law of Mr. Zheng Yu Long, Mr. Zheng Yu Shuang and Mr. Zheng Yu Huan), through Jen Yuon Trading Co., a sole proprietorship established in Hong Kong, established LBXX Fujian as a wholly owned foreign enterprise on March 15, 2000 and acquired the jelly business of Jinjiang Weili Foods Co., Ltd. in 2000. LBXX Fujian was established with a total investment capital of HK$73,330,000 and a registered capital of HK$38,880,000. LBXX Fujian is primarily engaged in the manufacture of jelly snacks and beverages. After LBXX Fujian’s acquisition of the jelly business of Jinjiang Weili Foods Co., Ltd., Mr. Zheng Yu Long, Mr. Zheng Yu Shuang and Mr. Zheng Yu Huan, all of whom were then the core management personnel of Jinjiang Weili Foods Co., Ltd., were invited by Mr. Li Hung Kong to continue managing the business of LBXX Fujian. On March 7, 2005, the registered capital of LBXX Fujian was increased from HK$38,880,000 to HK$53,880,000.

As part of the reorganization of our Company’s [●] on the SGX-ST, on August 1, 2003, Timeluck, which was at that time wholly owned by Mr. Li Hung Kong, acquired 100% of the registered capital of LBXX Fujian from Jen Yuon Trading Co., for a cash consideration of HK$38,880,000. After completion of such acquisition, LBXX Fujian became a wholly owned subsidiary of Timeluck. Pursuant to a sale and purchase agreement dated June 18, 2004 (as supplemented by a supplemental agreement dated December 20, 2004), our Company acquired the entire issued share capital of Timeluck from Mr. Li Hung Kong for a consideration of RMB134,205,987, which was satisfied by (i) the allotment and issuance of an aggregate of 16,219,977 new ordinary shares of US$1.00 each in the capital of our Company credited as fully paid, to Mr. Li Hung Kong (as to 76%), Mr. Zheng Yu Long (as to 8%), Mr. Zheng Yu Shuang (as to 8%) and Mr. Zheng Yu Huan (as to 8%) (collectively, the “Allottees”); and (ii) crediting as fully paid the 12,000 nil-paid ordinary shares of US$1.00 each, issued to the Allottees on June 1, 2004. The consideration of such acquisition was determined on an arm’s length basis taking into account the audited net tangible asset of Timeluck as of December 31, 2003 of RMB134,205,987. Upon completion of this acquisition, Timeluck became our wholly owned subsidiary.

On December 28, 2004, Alliance Holding was incorporated in the BVI by the Allottees as an investment holding company, and owned as to 76% by Mr. Li Hung Kong, 8% by Mr. Zheng Yu Long, 8% by Mr. Zheng Yu Shuang and 8% by Mr. Zheng Yu Huan. On March 28, 2005, the Allottees transferred their respective interests in our Company to Alliance Holding. As part of the family arrangement, on October 16, 2006, Mr. Li Hung Kong, Mr. Zheng Yu Long, Mr. Zheng Yu Shuang and Mr. Zheng Yu Huan entered into a shareholders agreement, pursuant to which Mr. Li Hung Kong agreed to transfer 20% of the issued share capital of Alliance Holding to each of Mr. Zheng Yu Long, Mr. Zhang Yu Shuang and Mr. Zheng Yu Huan. After completion of such transfers, Alliance Holding was owned as to 16% by Mr. Li Hung Kong, 28% by Mr. Zheng Yu Long, 28% by Mr. Zheng Yu Shuang and 28% by Mr. Zheng Yu Huan.

HISTORY AND CORPORATE STRUCTURE

  • (7) The remaining 50% was held by Cocoaland Industry Sdn. Bhd, an Independent Third Party. In June 2010, Coco Foods was subsequently disposed of to an Independent Third Party at a consideration of US$425,000, which was determined with reference to the estimated value of the assets of Coco Foods as of the date of such disposal, after arm’s length negotiations between the parties.

  • (8) The remaining 68% is held as to 50% by Super Coffeemix Group, an Independent Third Party, and 18% by Chance Cove Group Limited, which is in turn wholly owned by Mr. Zheng Yu Long.

  • (9) The remaining 50% is held by Ningxia Jiali Bio-Tech Co., Ltd. (寧夏佳立生物科技公司), an Independent Third Party.

On December 9, 2009, our Company and Rise Mount announced the Delisting Offer. The Delisting Offer was conditional on, inter alia, (i) approval of the Delisting by Shareholders holding at least 75% of the total number of issued Shares, (ii) Shareholders holding less than 10% of the total number of issued Shares voting against the Delisting, and (iii) a confirmation by the SGX-ST that it has no objection to the application by our Company for the Delisting. A special general meeting was held on April 7, 2010 and resolution was passed to approve the Delisting.

The terms of the Delisting Offer were as follows:

  • (i) Rise Mount offered to pay S$0.178 (approximately HK$1.07) in cash for each offer Share and this price was applicable to any number of Shares tendered in acceptance of the Delisting Offer;

  • (ii) Shareholders could choose to accept the Delisting Offer in respect of all or part of their holdings of the Shares; and

  • (iii) the Shares acquired by Rise Mount were fully paid and free from all encumbrances and other third-party rights.

The reasons for the Delisting, amongst others, were as follows:

(a) Low Trading Liquidity

Based on the historical trading records, the liquidity of our Shares on the SGX-ST had been generally low. The Delisting Offer provided an exit opportunity for those Shareholders who wished to realize their entire investment in our Shares but had found it difficult to do so as a result of the low trading liquidity of our Shares.

(b) Greater Management Flexibility

The Delisting would facilitate greater management flexibility in the utilization and deployment of the resources of our Group. Our Company would also dispense with the expenses relating to the maintenance of a listed status and focus its resources on its business operations. Given the distance between China and Singapore and with our Group’s operations and expansion plans based predominantly in China and taking into account the liquidity of our Shares on the SGX-ST, our then Directors had considered that it was not cost effective and efficient to deploy our resources in Singapore. The Delisting would allow our Company to rationalize the management, resources and cost structure of our Group’s businesses in China for greater efficiency and competitiveness.

(c) Attractive Premium

The Delisting offered minority Shareholders an opportunity to realize the value of their investments in our Company at a premium over the historical trading prices of our Shares on the SGX-ST, an option which may not otherwise have been readily available.

M&A Rules

In August 2006, six PRC regulatory agencies promulgated the M&A Rules regulating mergers and acquisitions of domestic enterprises by foreign investors.

Our “Labixiaoxin” brand is a well-recognized snack food brand in China and was recognized as a “China Well-Known Trademark” (中國馳名商標) by the SAIC in 2007. We offer a broad range of quality snack food products. Our main products are jelly products, which comprise jelly snacks and jelly beverages. We also market and sell confectionary products which primarily include lollipops, milk candies, gummy candies and chocolates. Our other products, primarily comprise powdered milk tea. For the year ended December 31, 2010, sales from our jelly products, confectionary products and other products accounted for 83.3%, 11.4% and 5.3% of our sales, respectively.

Over the last 10 years, we have established an extensive distribution network. As of October 31, 2011, we worked with over 190 independent wholesale distributors, covering 31 provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions in China, which on-sell our products to secondary distributors and retailers. We have also established good business relationships with a number of large and well-known retailers in China, which we consider to be our key account customers. Over 90% of our sales during the Track Record Period was generated domestically through our established nationwide distribution network, while the remainder was generated from export sales through our export agents. To facilitate our nationwide sales, we have established three major production facilities located in strategic areas, namely Jinjiang, Fujian Province, Tianjin Municipality and Chengdu, Sichuan Province, giving us convenient access to major markets in different regions in China. We have commenced the construction of our fourth production facility in Chuzhou, Anhui Province. We manufacture all of our jelly products and powdered milk tea and outsource the manufacture of confectionary products and the remainder of other products to third parties through OEM arrangements.

We are committed to high standards of quality in all our products and follow stringent quality control procedures throughout our production processes. We obtained QS Food Production Permits (食品生產許 可證) for all our production facilities and ISO 9001 and HACCP certifications for our Fujian and Tianjin production facilities. We believe we have strong research and product development capabilities. We adjust our product offerings and introduce new and improved products in response to changing consumer preferences and demand. We believe our product development capabilities will help to strengthen our competitiveness through product differentiation and innovation.

We believe that we are well positioned to benefit from the rapid economic growth of China. From 2003 to 2010, China’s real GDP grew at a CAGR of 11.0%, and the level of per capita disposable income in the PRC increased significantly, with a CAGR of 12.3% and 12.3% from 2003 to 2010 for urban and rural residents, respectively. We expect such historical trends will sustain in the near future, and believe consumer spending on snack food will also increase. According to Euromonitor, the estimated retail sales value of jelly products and confectionary products represented 7.5% and 51.5% of the snack food market in China in 2010, respectively, and the retail sales value of jelly products and confectionary products are expected to increase with a CAGR of 14.2% and 7.4% from 2010 to 2013, respectively.

BUSINESS

Our sales grew from RMB721.1 million in 2008 to RMB771.4 million in 2009 and RMB931.7 million in 2010 and, according to Euromonitor our share of the total jelly products retail sales value in China grew steadily from 9.0% in 2008 to 9.6% in 2009 and 10.3% in 2010. Our profit for the year was RMB68.6 million, RMB53.5 million and RMB147.8 million in 2008, 2009 and 2010 respectively. Our sales grew by 46.6% from RMB414.4 million for the five months ended May 31, 2010 to RMB607.4 million for the five months ended May 31, 2011.

OUR COMPETITIVE STRENGTHS

We believe that the following competitive strengths have allowed us to achieve a leading position in the jelly products market in China and differentiate us from our competitors:

Strong brand recognition in China’s snack food industry

We have a proven business track record and have established strong brand recognition in China’s snack food market since our commencement of operations in 2000. According to Euromonitor, we were the second largest manufacturer of jelly products in China with a market share of 10.3% in 2010 in terms of retail sales value. We sell our products under our core brand “ ” (“Labixiaoxin”) and other sub-brands such as “ ” (“Sunshine City”) and “ ” (“Humor”) across various product segments. Our “Labixiaoxin” brand was recognized as a “China Well-Known Trademark” (中國馳名商標) by SAIC in 2007.

We believe the favorable reputation and strong recognition of our “Labixiaoxin” brand have allowed us to compete effectively against our competitors and will continue to be a main factor driving our future success. We believe we are well positioned to leverage our leading position in the jelly products market to capture growth in other snack food market segments in China.

Extensive distribution network in China and strong relationships with wholesale distributors and key account customers

We have established an extensive sales and distribution network in China that enables us to effectively reach end consumers nationwide. We primarily sell our products to regional wholesale distributors which then on-sell to secondary distributors and retailers. As of October 31, 2011, we worked with over 190 independent wholesale distributors located throughout China, covering 31 provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions.

We believe one of our key success factors is the strong working relationships we enjoy with our wholesale distributors. As of the Latest Practicable Date, we had worked with the majority of our wholesale distributors for over five years. As of October 31, 2011, we had over 370 sales and marketing representatives, who collaborated with our wholesale distributors to market and promote our products in different regions across China and provided support to these wholesale distributors. To better respond to changing consumer preferences, our sales and marketing representatives also gather market intelligence, which allows us to monitor and analyze market trends. We typically adopt a flexible and mutually beneficial pricing policy by charging our wholesale distributors a uniform and competitive ex-factory price, which allows them to mark up our ex-factory price for a reasonable profit margin before the products are on-sold to secondary distributors and retailers. We believe these measures, together with our effective management policies, enable us to maintain strong working relationships with our wholesale distributors.

BUSINESS

As our business operations grew, we have been able to establish close partnerships with some of our key account customers, which are typically large, well-known supermarkets, hypermarkets and chain stores with multiple retail points in China, including Wal-Mart, RT-Mart, Tesco and China Resources Vanguard. We believe our relationships with these key account customers will help to strengthen our market position and improve our product image as these key account customers wield significant influence over smaller local retailers.

We believe our well-established and effectively managed distribution network, as well as strong relationships with our wholesale distributors and key account customers, will continue to allow us to successfully market and deliver products to our customers and support our future growth.

Commitment to stringent quality standards and control

We are committed to high standards of quality in our products and implement stringent quality control procedures throughout our manufacturing processes. We have a dedicated quality control team, led by our executive Director, Mr. Zheng Yu Shuang, to ensure that our internal quality control procedures are duly followed. Our quality control personnel closely monitor our manufacturing processes. Control procedures generally include inspection of incoming raw materials, maintenance of our production equipment and production facility environment, monitoring of our production processes to detect any contaminants, sample inspections of all final products and maintenance of inventory storage areas to prevent spoilage of our products.

We also implement stringent quality control procedures with our OEM partners to ensure the quality of the products they manufacture. Our quality control staff monitor our OEM partners’ production processes at their facilities, from raw material procurement to delivery of the finished products. We also conduct sample checks on the finished products delivered to us to ensure that they meet our internal quality standards.

We have obtained QS Food Production Permits (食品生產許可證) for all of our production facilities. As a result of our stringent internal quality control standards, we have also obtained ISO 9001 and HACCP certifications for our Fujian and Tianjin production facilities, as well as other certifications in relation to the health, safety and hygiene conditions of our production facilities.

Strong product development capabilities and proven track record of product innovation

Our strong product development efforts have enabled us to expand the range and improve the quality of our products over the years. We regularly collect market intelligence from our sales and marketing department to develop new product lines in order to improve and expand our product offerings. For example, we typically launch a number of new flavors or products every year and eliminate less popular products from our product menu. We have successfully expanded our product offerings over the years and currently offer over 1,000 SKU of jelly products (with different flavors, packaging and serving sizes), confectionary products and other snack food products.

We have a skilled research and product development team focused on developing new formulas and flavors to further differentiate our products from those of our competitors. We aim to continually innovate and improve our products to cater to changing consumer tastes and preferences, focusing particularly on product tastes, textures and packaging, while maintaining our cost of production at acceptable levels.

BUSINESS

addition to internal product development efforts, we also cooperate with academic and research institutions to jointly develop new products. Prior to the establishment of the Jelly Products Working Group of the Committee for the Standardization of Lifestyle Food (全國休閒食品標準化技術委員會果凍 小組) (the “Jelly Products Working Group”) on August 19, 2011, we acted as the convenor in preparing for its establishment and, leveraging our research and product development capabilities, we will participate in the formulation of national standards for different types of jelly products.

We believe our product research and development capabilities have enabled us to successfully achieve ongoing product improvement, continuously expand our product offerings, diversify our product mix, as well as maintain our competitiveness in the snack food industry in China.

Experienced management team with a proven track record

Our management team is composed of knowledgeable and experienced professionals with a proven track record in the snack food industry. A majority of our senior management team members have extensive operational and management experience in the marketing and manufacture of jelly and confectionary products in the PRC. Our chairman, Mr. Zheng Yu Long, and our executive Directors, Mr. Zheng Yu Shuang and Mr. Zheng Yu Huan, each has over 15 years of experience in the snack food industry in China.

Our dedicated management team spearheads our business operations and drives our future growth plans. Their experience in, and knowledge of, the industry in which we operate also enables us to develop new products and identify new business opportunities. Our management team has played a key role in building a corporate culture which encourages consistent delivery of high quality products and continuous innovation. We believe our experienced management team is a key to our success in the past and will continue to contribute to our growth in the future.

OUR BUSINESS STRATEGIES

Our objective is to become a leading manufacturer of snack food products in China. We intend to achieve our objective by implementing the following strategies:

Continue to strengthen our brand recognition and to enhance our market position

We believe successful branding is key to our business development and that our core brand “ ”

(“Labixiaoxin”) has gained wider recognition and popularity in the PRC snack food industry in recent years as a result of our successful marketing and promotional strategies. To further strengthen and capitalize on the established reputation and recognition of our “Labixiaoxin” brand, we are currently consolidating all our existing brands with the intention to use “Labixiaoxin” as an umbrella brand to market all our products, with multiple sub-brands to market our different product segments. For example,

we intend to incorporate our existing sub-brands, “ ” (“Sunshine City”) for confectionary products and “ ” (“Humor”) for powdered milk tea, into our umbrella brand “Labixiaoxin.” We believe this will further enhance our “Labixiaoxin” brand and closely align our sub-brands with their respective product segments, which will help us to reach different consumer groups more effectively and take advantage of cross-promotional opportunities across different product offerings.

BUSINESS

We plan to concentrate our advertising and promotional efforts to further develop our core brand “Labixiaoxin” going forward. We plan to enhance our brand image by adopting a multi-channel advertising strategy. In addition to traditional advertising channels such as print media advertising, we intend to increase our prime time television advertising on national and regional satellite television networks, and sponsor certain popular television programs and festive events. We also intend to enhance Internet advertising by producing short film clips promoting our brand and products, which we believe will help us to gain access to younger consumers. We also intend to regularly undertake in-store product promotion campaigns to encourage sales. We plan to continue to participate in industry and trade shows to promote our brand and increase product recognition in the snack food industry in China as well as attract new buyers.

Continue to broaden and strengthen our distribution network in China and further enhance our relationships with wholesale distributors and key account customers

We believe further expansion of our existing distribution network is crucial to increasing our market share and coverage. We also believe such expansion is necessary to capitalize on the increasing spending power of end consumers, especially in third and fourth tier cities as a result of the continued economic development and urbanization in China. As a result, we intend to expand our distribution network into other cities in the PRC with growth potential surrounding our existing markets by increasing our advertising and promotional activities in these areas, as well as engaging more regional wholesale distributors to sell our products to the retailers. We believe improved market penetration will help us to gain access to a wider group of end consumers and support our future growth.

In addition, we intend to expand our distribution network geographically to facilitate the expected increases in demand for our products in other growth regions across China, and, in particular, we plan to expand our distribution network into more locations in western China and actively seek out more key account customers. With the construction of our Sichuan production facility and its commencement of production in 2010, we believe we are well-placed to strengthen our presence in western China and capitalize on the rapid economic growth in this region in recent years.

We intend to continue to work closely with our wholesale distributors in each region to strengthen our relationship and cooperation in the marketing of our products. We also intend to engage more key account agents to sell our products and provide customer services to our key account customers on an exclusive basis. We believe the use of key account agents enables us to respond to the needs of our key account customers in a more timely manner and allows us to provide prompt customer service tailored to suit their individual business needs, which we believe will enhance our relationships with the key account customers. As part of our future business strategy to further strengthen our relationship with key account customers, we intend to sell directly to our key account customers in order to broaden our distribution channels and strengthen our relationships with key account customers. Direct sales to these key account customers enable us to gain more access to end consumers and gather more accurate market intelligence.

Expand and enhance our product offerings through continued product development efforts

We believe that continuous product innovation and differentiation is an important factor for us to increase the market share of our products. We plan to invest in and strengthen our market-oriented product development activities to continuously provide innovative products to differentiate ourselves from other competitors and accommodate the changing preferences of consumers. For example, with growing health awareness among consumers in their consumption of snack food, we intend to focus our product development efforts on manufacturing healthier snack food such as low-sugar or low-calorie jelly products.

BUSINESS

We believe it is important to expand our product offerings and adjust our product mix in response to changing consumer tastes and preferences in order to stay competitive in the snack food industry in China. For example, we intend to further expand the range of our products to include egg rolls. Moreover, we expect that a more comprehensive product portfolio can increase our commercial appeal to our customers as such customers can procure more types of snack food products from us, and reduce the impacts of seasonal fluctuations in the sales of particular products. We believe that our strong product development capabilities coupled with our established brand names and extensive distribution network provide a solid foundation for us to introduce new and innovative snack food products to the market. We believe we can achieve synergies in our product development activities, branding and sales and marketing of these new products by leveraging our existing experience and strengths in these areas.

Strengthen our market position through strategic production capacity expansion

We plan to strengthen our market position in the snack food industry and achieve better economies of scale by expanding our existing production facilities and constructing a new production facility. We intend to invest approximately RMB450 million to raise the annual production capacity of our Tianjin production facility from 55,000 tons to over 100,000 tons of jelly snacks and jelly beverages in the next five years.

In addition to expanding our existing production facilities, we also plan to invest approximately RMB550 million for the construction of a new production facility in Chuzhou, Anhui Province, as part of our geographical expansion plan. We own a parcel of land in Chuzhou, Anhui Province which has a total site area of approximately 133,332 square meters, and commenced construction of our Anhui production facility in August 2011. We plan to start manufacturing primarily jelly snacks and jelly beverages at our Anhui production facility in the first half of 2013. The new production facility will markedly increase our production capacity, which is important to ensure our continued business growth. We also believe the Anhui production facility will further enhance our geographical coverage and enable us to distribute our products more efficiently to markets around the region. Please see “– Production Process and Production Facilities – Production Expansion Plan” and “Financial Information – Capital Expenditures – Planned Capital Expenditures.”

Jelly Products

We are a leading manufacturer in China’s jelly products market with over 10 years of experience in the manufacture and sales of jelly products. According to Euromonitor, we had over 10.3% of market share in the jelly products market for the year ended December 31, 2010. We began to produce and sell jelly products in 2000 at our first production facility in Jinjiang, Fujian Province. We have expanded our business operations over the years and currently have two additional production facilities in Tianjin Municipality and Chengdu, Sichuan Province. Our production facilities in Fujian, Tianjin and Sichuan cover eastern and southern China, northern China and western China, respectively. We offer a wide variety of jelly snacks and jelly beverages with different flavors and serving sizes. Our jelly products are sold either through “pick-and-mix” where consumers can pick and mix different quantities of various types of these products, and pay for them by weight, or in pre-packaged forms. Our jelly products have an average shelf life of 12 months.

We sold 90,640 tons, 101,483 tons, 116,991 tons and 69,609 tons of jelly products in the year ended December 31, 2008, 2009 and 2010 and the five months ended May 31, 2011, respectively. We generated RMB595.6 million, RMB669.6 million, RMB775.8 million and RMB503.3 million of sales from jelly products in 2008, 2009 and 2010 and the five months ended May 31, 2011, respectively, accounting for 82.6%, 86.8%, 83.3% and 82.9% to our total sales for the same periods, respectively.

Jelly snacks

Jelly snacks comprise the largest component of our jelly products sales and we have over 500 SKU of jelly snacks, such as fruit-flavored jellies, jellies filled with canned fruit, yogurt jellies and jelly mousse. We offer our jelly snacks in different flavors and sizes ranging from 16 gram cup-sized jellies to 200 gram bowl-sized jellies. We market our jelly snacks under our core brand “Labixiaoxin” and a number of sub-brands such as “Eden Bar” (“異度果吧”), “Qingmeiwuyu” (“青梅物語”) and “Zhenguoduo” (“珍果多”).

We sold 70,453 tons, 68,040 tons, 72,872 tons and 42,391 tons of jelly snacks in the year ended December 31, 2008, 2009 and 2010 and the five months ended May 31, 2011, respectively. We generated RMB474.2 million, RMB486.3 million, RMB530.2 million and RMB330.1 million of sales from jelly snacks in 2008, 2009 and 2010 and the five months ended May 31, 2011, respectively, accounting for 79.6%, 72.6%, 68.3% and 65.6% of total sales attributable to jelly products for the same periods, respectively.

Jelly beverages

Jelly beverages are liquid jellies that may be directly consumed from the packages. We started producing jelly beverages in 2001 in our Fujian production facility. We offer over 40 SKU of jelly beverages comprising a variety of flavors and serving sizes, with packages ranging from 40 grams to 350 grams. Jelly beverages are normally sold in individual pieces, where customers pick and pay according to the weight or the quantity of the product. We market our jelly beverages under our core brand “Labixiaoxin” and a number of sub-brands such as “Fresh Q” (“鮮 Q”) and “Xixi Jelly” (“吸吸果凍”). We recently launched “Vegi-fruit Party” (“蔬果派對”), a new jelly beverage, to the market.

We sold 20,187 tons, 33,443 tons, 44,119 tons and 27,218 tons of jelly beverages in the year ended December 31, 2008, 2009 and 2010 and the five months ended May 31, 2011, respectively. We generated RMB121.4 million, RMB183.3 million, RMB245.6 million and RMB173.2 million of sales from jelly beverages in 2008, 2009 and 2010 and the five months ended May 31, 2011, respectively, accounting for 20.4%, 27.4%, 31.7% and 34.4% of total sales attributable to jelly products for the same periods, respectively.

From 2008 to 2010, sales of our jelly beverages achieved a CAGR of 42.3% due to increasing consumer demand and product popularity. We believe this increasing demand is attributable to our successful sales and marketing efforts, as well as to the fact that we placed more focus and resources on promoting our jelly beverages. We believe the demand for jelly beverages will continue to grow, and we intend to continue to focus on producing more varieties of jelly beverages to satisfy increasing consumer demand.

Confectionary Products

We began to market and sell confectionary products over five years ago because candies are popular snacks commonly consumed during traditional festivals and are complementary to our jelly products. As of May 31, 2011, we outsourced the entire manufacturing process of our confectionary products to nine third-party manufacturers under non-exclusive OEM arrangements. We believe outsourcing helps to increase our economic and operational efficiency. By leveraging our well-established distribution network and our growing brand recognition, we believe our confectionary products have gained wide consumer acceptance and the sales of our confectionary products will continue to grow in the next few years. We currently market and sell over 400 SKU of confectionary products, which come in a large variety of flavors, shapes and textures, including lollipops, milk candies, gummy candies and chocolates. We market our confectionary products primarily under our sub-brand “Sunshine City” (“陽光城市”). Our confectionary products have an average shelf life of 12 months.

We sold 6,587 tons, 5,037 tons, 7,669 tons and 3,453 tons of confectionary products in the year ended December 31, 2008, 2009 and 2010 and the five months ended May 31, 2011, respectively. We generated RMB107.0 million, RMB73.6 million, RMB106.1 million and RMB62.1 million of sales from confectionary products in 2008, 2009 and 2010 and the five months ended May 31, 2011, respectively, accounting for 14.8%, 9.5%, 11.4% and 10.2% to our total sales for the same periods, respectively.

Other Products

Our other products primarily consist of powdered milk tea, which we launched in 2006. Our powdered milk tea is packaged in a cup that can be turned into an instant hot drink by adding hot water to the powder. We primarily market our powdered milk tea under the core brand “Labixiaoxin” (“蠟筆小 新”) and sub-brand “Humor” (“幽沫”).

In addition to powdered milk tea, we began to market and sell a small quantity of dried bean curd products in late 2010 under the “Xiangdoufang” (“鄉豆坊”) brand. In early 2011, we began to market and sell a small quantity of baked products. Both of our dried bean curd products and baked products are manufactured by third-party manufacturers under OEM arrangements. As of the Latest Practicable Date, our other products had an average shelf life ranging from six to 12 months.

We sold 1,016 tons, 1,329 tons, 2,153 tons and 2,032 tons of other products in the year ended December 31, 2008, 2009 and 2010 and the five months ended May 31, 2011, respectively. We generated RMB18.5 million, RMB28.2 million, RMB49.8 million and RMB42.0 million of sales from other products in 2008, 2009 and 2010 and the five months ended May 31, 2011, respectively, accounting for 2.6%, 3.7%, 5.3% and 6.9% of our total sales for the same periods, respectively.

SALES AND MARKETING

Branding

We believe that our strong brand recognition and reputation have been instrumental to the success of our business. We have been promoting recognition of our core brand “ ” (“Labixiaoxin”) through a variety of marketing and promotional activities since we began manufacturing jelly products. See “– Advertising and Promotion” below.

Currently our jelly products are primarily marketed under our core brand “Labixiaoxin.” Our “Labixiaoxin” brand was recognized as a “China Well-Known Trademark” (中國馳名商標) by the SAIC in 2007. We also use sub-brands to market different types of jelly products, such as “ ” (“Eden Bar”), “ ” (“Fresh Q”) and “[����] ” (“Qingmeiwuyu”). In addition, we market and sell our confectionary products, powdered milk tea and dried bean curd products under the brands “ ” (“Sunshine City”), “ ” (“Humor”) and “ ” (“Xiangdoufang”), respectively.

As a result of our successful marketing and promotional strategies, we believe that our “Labixiaoxin” brand has gained wide recognition and popularity in China’s snack food industry. As part of our branding strategy and in order to capitalize on our established reputation and brand recognition, we are currently consolidating all our brands with the intention to use “Labixiaoxin” as an umbrella brand to market all our products, with multiple sub-brands to market different product segments. For example, we intend to incorporate our existing sub-brands “Sunshine City” (“陽光城市”) for confectionary products and “Humor” (“幽沫”) for powdered milk tea, into our umbrella brand “Labixiaoxin.” We believe this will further enhance our “Labixiaoxin” brand and closely align our sub-brands with their respective product segment, which will help us to target different consumer groups more effectively.

As our business operations grew, we have been able to establish close relationships with some of our key account customers, which are typically large supermarket or hypermarket chains with a national or regional presence in China. To enhance our relationships with the key account customers, we started to engage key account agents in 2011 to sell our products and provide customer services to certain key account customers. To implement our mid-range to long-term business strategy, we also began initial steps of direct sales in 2011 to certain key account customers.

In addition, we export our products under both OEM arrangements and our own brand through certain PRC export agents to our foreign customers primarily in Latin America.

We manage our extensive sales network through our sales and marketing department located at our headquarters in Jinjiang, Fujian. Our sales and marketing department consists of over 370 representatives as of October 31, 2011. These representatives are responsible for liaising with our regional wholesale distributors and key account agents for the marketing and promotion of our products and gathering of market intelligence and provide feedback to us on a timely basis. Some of our representatives are dedicated to directly liaising with our key account customers.

Wholesale distributors

Consistent with market practice, we sell our products primarily through wholesale distributors which then on-sell to secondary distributors and retailers, including some of our key account customers. The secondary distributors on-sell our products to other sales outlets such as supermarkets and other retail points via their own sales network. As of October 31, 2011, we engaged more than 190 wholesale distributors. Our wholesale distributors are typically large regional wholesale distributors with wellestablished local distribution networks and are primarily involved in the distribution of food and beverages. We select our wholesale distributors on the basis of their coverage of sales network, track record performance and financial resources. For the year ended December 31, 2008, 2009 and 2010, all of our domestic sales were generated through sales to wholesale distributors. During the five months ended May 31, 2011, although we began to engage a number of key account agents to sell our products and provide customer services to key account customers and initiated our direct sales efforts, a majority of domestic sales were still generated through sales to wholesale distributors. We generated RMB662.2 million, RMB726.3 million, RMB859.8 million and RMB483.7 million of sales in the year ended December 31, 2008, 2009 and 2010 and the five months ended May 31, 2011 through sales to our wholesale distributors, respectively, representing 91.8%, 94.2%, 92.3% and 79.6% of our total sales during the same periods, respectively. We believe that by collaborating with wholesale distributors to sell our products we are able to benefit from leveraging their established distribution channels and resources, and save costs that would otherwise be required to build up and maintain internal logistics and other related capacities to supply retailers across the country.

We had maintained stable working relationships with most of our wholesale distributors during the Track Record Period and have engaged many of them for more than five years. The following table provides the number of wholesale distributors and the turnover during the Track Record Period:

Five months
**Year ** ended December 31, ended May 31,

Terminated during the period . . . . . . . . . . 6 13 12 42
Total at end of period . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 127 130 152 190

Turnover of our wholesale distributors was generally due to (i) our termination of underperforming wholesale distributors based on our qualitative assessments such as their ability to comply with our sales strategies, and (ii) decisions by some wholesale distributors to cease their distribution operations and transition into other businesses. With respect to the turnover during the five months ended May 31, 2011, our turnover was also partly due to the beginning of our engagement with key account agents. In 2011, we converted a number of wholesale distributors to key account agents to sell our products and provide customer services to certain key account customers, which increased our wholesale distributor turnover during the five months ended May 31, 2011. Sales generated through terminated wholesale distributors amounted to RMB15.5 million, RMB17.5 million, RMB33.0 million and RMB22.4 million in the year ended December 31, 2008, 2009 and 2010 and the five months ended May 31, 2011, respectively, representing 2.1%, 2.3%, 3.5% and 3.7% of our total sales during the same periods, respectively. We increased the overall number of our wholesale distributors in 2011 to address the increase in distribution needs resulting from our increased production capacity and volume, and to satisfy the increased demand for our products.

BUSINESS

In line with industry practice, we generally do not enter into any long-term sales contracts with our wholesale distributors, and most of our sales are made on a short-term basis with order cycles typically ranging from five days to three weeks. Our wholesale distributors submit purchase orders to us from time to time with specification as to the type and quantity of products. If we determine that the total trade receivables from such wholesale distributors as a result of such purchase orders will not exceed the maximum trade receivables limits we assign to them, we will accept the purchase orders. We will then either arrange the delivery of finished products available in our storage, or execute production plans to fulfill the purchase orders. Our wholesale distributors purchase our products from us at a competitive ex-factory price and are entitled to add a reasonable margin to the ex-factory price before the products are on-sold to retailers and supermarket chains. We usually recommend a retail price to our wholesale distributors but do not cap the price at which they on-sell the products to retailers and supermarkets. However, we typically stipulate a minimum price at which retailers and supermarkets may sell our products. This is consistent with market practice in the food and beverage industry in China, and we believe the flexible pricing policy allows our wholesale distributors to retain an acceptable profit margin and has helped to nurture mutually beneficial and long-term working relationships between us and our wholesale distributors.

We enter into distribution agreements with our wholesale distributors. There are no guaranteed sales commitments under these wholesale agreements, and therefore they may not lead to actual sales. Under such agreements, we grant exclusive distribution rights to each wholesale distributor (i) within a designated area, or (ii) within certain retail outlets if there are multiple wholesale distributors within the same designated area. We are responsible for ensuring our wholesale distributors’ exclusive distribution rights within their respective designated areas or retail outlets, and assisting the wholesale distributors in marketing activities. During the Track Record Period and up to the Latest Practicable Date, we were not aware of any incidents where a wholesale distributor sold our products outside its designated area or retail outlets. The wholesale distributors are responsible for providing sufficient storage capacity and timely logistics support for our products, and distributing our products within their respective exclusive designated areas or retail outlets. We provide incentives in the form of sales rebates to our wholesale distributors for achieving or exceeding sales targets stipulated in the distribution agreements, which are negotiated and determined by reference to various criteria, including past performance and market conditions. In addition, we provide subsidies to our wholesale distributors in line with customary industry practice to cover any initial start-up and subsequent handling charges they may incur in relation to setting up sales stalls and product displays in retail outlets, and for product promotion. We also provide subsidies to wholesale distributors based on a pre-determined percentage of total sales such wholesale distributors generate during the contract period to cover losses from products that are likely to be damaged or spoiled during transit, payable upon the expiration of the contract period. During the year ended December 31, 2008, 2009 and 2010 and the five months ended May 31, 2011, we provided sales rebates totaling RMB15.1 million, RMB16.5 million, RMB17.7 million and RMB12.5 million, respectively, and subsidies totaling RMB14.6 million, RMB17.3 million, RMB19.4 million and RMB13.1 million, respectively, to our wholesale distributors.

The distribution agreements usually have a term of one year, and are terminable by us upon the occurrence of certain events, such as when the wholesale distributor is unable to purchase from us for two consecutive months, when the wholesale distributor on-sells our products at a price below the agreed minimum price or if our wholesale distributor is found to have distributed competing products. During the Track Record Period and up to the Latest Practicable Date, we did not experience any material sales returns from our wholesale distributors due to product quality issues or otherwise, and in any event it is our policy that we do not accept return of products we have sold unless there are product quality issues.

BUSINESS

Other than the business relationships described above, there were no other relationships (including family or employment relationships) between us, our Directors, our [●], our senior management or any of our or their respective associates on the one hand, and the wholesale distributors or any of their respective associates, each of which is an Independent Third Party, on the other hand during the Track Record Period and as of the Latest Practicable Date.

Secondary distributors

We do not work directly with secondary distributors, which are typically smaller regional distributors. They purchase from our wholesale distributors and typically distribute products to small-scale retail outlets in remote areas. We delegate to the wholesale distributors the authority to choose secondary distributors and negotiate the transaction terms directly with them, and rely on our wholesale distributors to limit the secondary distributors’ activities within such wholesale distributors’ respective designated distribution territories or retail outlets.

Other than the business relationships described above, there were no other relationships (including family or employment relationships) between us, our Directors, our [●], our senior management or any of our or their respective associates on the one hand, and the secondary distributors or any of their respective associates, each of which is an Independent Third Party, on the other hand during the Track Record Period and as of the Latest Practicable Date.

Key account customers and other retailers

Retailers that sell our products range from traditional grocery stores, regional convenience stores to multinational, nationwide and regional retailers, including our key account customers. Our key account customers are typically large supermarket or hypermarket chains with a national or regional presence in China and are of strategic importance to our sales and distribution strategy. As of October 31, 2011, we had a total of 25 key account customers covering 25 provinces in China, including Wal-Mart, RT-Mart, Tesco and China Resources Vanguard. Some of these key account customers have worked with us for more than five years. We believe our strong working relationships with our key account customers enable us to leverage on their reputation and wide customer base, which we expect will lead to increased brand awareness of our products.

Historically, we sold substantially all our products through wholesale distributors which then on-sold to our key account customers. We participated in negotiations with our key account customers regarding sales terms, shelf spaces and positions of our products, though we did not enter into contracts with them.

As part of our strategy to strengthen our working relationship with our key account customers, we started to engage a number of key account agents to sell our products and provide customized services to some of our key account customers in 2011. Under this new sales model, we develop a closer relationship and maintain frequent communication with our key account customers, and allocate additional time and resources to a series of direct negotiations with our key account customers including the terms of sales and a range of recommended retail prices, and location and size of our shelves in the stores. We also help our key account agents to sell our products through on-site decoration, promotion campaign, and providing training to our key account agents’ product promoters. In addition, we typically grant our key account agents a longer credit terms of 90 days which is in line with the credit term offered by the key account customers. By having such arrangements under which we fulfill a number of functions that are traditionally handled by wholesale distributors, we are in a position to sell our products at higher prices

to our key account agents, compared to the prices we usually sell to our wholesale distributors, and have achieved higher profit margins. Our increase in sales revenue and gross profit margin as of the five months ended May 31, 2011 has been in part attributed to the implementation of such sales model to our key account agents and to the key account customers. During the five months ended May 31, 2011, we generated RMB49.1 million of sales through the key account agents. We also experienced an increase in our gross profit margin to 40.7% for the five months ended May 31, 2011 from 36.7% for the five months ended May 31, 2010. We believe such practice is consistent with the industry norm. As of October 31, 2011, we had 10 key account agents.

We enter into master sales agreements with our key account agents during the year. To facilitate our management of contracts, such master sales agreements generally expire by the end of the calendar year, and we intend to renew them annually going forward. There are no guaranteed sales commitments under these master sales agreements, and therefore they may not lead to actual sales. We confine the exclusive distribution rights and support functions of each key account agent to one or several key account customers within a designated region, and we do not allow our wholesale distributors to sell to those key account customers which purchase our products through key account agents. Under the master sales agreements, we directly negotiate the terms of sale and the range of recommended retail prices for our products with our key account customers, and we sell our products to our key account customers at a discount from such negotiated price range as compensations for our key account agents. In line with industry practice, we generally do not enter into any long-term sales contracts with our key account agents, and most of our sales are made on a short-term basis with order cycles typically ranging from five days to three weeks. Our key account agents are responsible for executing the marketing activities to promote and sell our products under our coaching, and providing sales representatives to liaise with key account customers and products promoters at their own costs. We provide incentives in the form of sales rebates to our key account agents for achieving or exceeding a sales target. We also provide subsidies to key account agents based on a pre-determined percentage of total sales generated by such key account agents during the contract period to cover their losses from products that are likely to be damaged or spoiled during transit. Such subsidies are realized in form of sales discount. We may terminate the agreements in the event that (i) the key account agents engage in conducts in violation of any laws and regulations which lead to damages to our reputation, or (ii) the key account agents fail to follow our policies and directives. We have not experienced any material sales returns from our key account agents due to product quality issues or otherwise since we began engaging such key account agents, and in any event it is our policy that we do not accept return of products we have sold unless there are product quality issues.

As part of our mid-range to long-term business strategy, we intend to gradually sell our products directly to our key account customers in the future in order to further strengthen our relationships with these key account customers. As initial steps to implement such strategy, we began direct sales to certain key account customers in 2011, amounting to RMB41.3 million and representing 6.8% of our sales for the five months ended May 31, 2011. In line with industry practice, we generally do not enter into any long-term sales contracts with our key account customers, and most of our sales are made on a short-term basis with order cycles typically ranging from five days to three weeks. Going forward, we intend to increase direct sales to the key account customers in the future either by developing internal logistical and other capacities relevant to direct sales, or through opportunistic acquisitions of key account agents. We believe that direct sales to our key account customers will allow us to further enhance our strategic relationship with them and leverage their extensive sales channels, as well as reduce our use of key account agents which will help to increase our overall profitability. Furthermore, we believe direct sales also provide a platform from which to promote and launch our new products and enable us to access end-consumer feedback more efficiently.

Other than the business relationships described above, there were no other relationships (including family or employment relationships) between us, our Directors, our [●], our senior management or any of our or their respective associates on the one hand, and our key account customers, other retailers, key account agents or any of their respective associates, each of which is an Independent Third Party, on the other hand during the Track Record Period and as of the Latest Practicable Date.

Export Sales

We manufacture jelly products and confectionary products under OEM arrangements on behalf of certain of our foreign customers, which distribute such products under their own brands. In addition, some of our jelly products and confectionary products are sold in foreign countries under our own “Larbee” (“ ”) brand. Our export markets are primarily in Latin America. Consistent with industry practice, we sell our products through export agents in the PRC, and rely on them to handle logistics, customs, and other export-related matters to deliver our products to our foreign customers. As of October 31, 2011, we engaged four export agents in the PRC. The export agents purchase the products from us and then on-sell such products to our foreign customers. We enter into export agency agreements with export agents in China, usually for a term of one year. Under this framework, after we have secured a purchase order from a foreign customer which stipulates conditions such as the quantity and unit prices of purchased products, we enter into a separate sales contract with an export agent of our choice. Such sales contract generally provides the quantity and types of products purchased by the export agent to satisfy one or more purchase orders we have received. We are responsible for delivering the products to the designated port at our own cost. The responsible export agent accepts our delivery at such port, and makes arrangements to transport the products to our foreign customers, which on-sells such products. The export agents are required to settle payments for the purchased products within 30 working days of receiving delivery. During the year ended December 31, 2008, 2009 and 2010 and the five months ended May 31, 2011, our export sales amounted to RMB58.9 million, RMB45.0 million, RMB71.9 million and RMB33.3 million, respectively, representing 8.2%, 5.8%, 7.7% and 5.5% of our total sales during the same periods, respectively. We did not experience any material sales returns by our export agents during the Track Record Period and up to the Latest Practicable Date.

During the Track Record Period and up to the Latest Practicable Date, we had in all material respects complied with all laws and regulations relevant to our export sales and applicable to us in the PRC and in the countries to which we export our products, by completing all necessary procedures to obtain all relevant health and food safety approvals, certificates, registrations or any other legally required documentation from the relevant government authorities in the PRC and the countries with respect to the relevant exported products.

In the long run, we intend to continue to participate in trade shows to make our products more visible to potential international buyers and seek other potential export opportunities. Furthermore, we intend to develop our export market by using more export agents which have well-established connections with overseas markets, particularly with large and well-known supermarket chains.

During the year ended December 31, 2008, 2009 and 2010 and the five months ended May 31, 2011, sales to our five largest customers represented 16.3%, 13.6%, 12.9% and 11.4% of our total sales, respectively, and sales to our largest customer accounted for 4.5%, 3.0%, 4.0% and 3.1% of our total sales, respectively. None of our Directors, their respective associates, or any Shareholder who, to the knowledge of our Directors, owned more than 5% of our issued share capital as of the Latest Practicable Date, had any interest in any of our five largest customers during the Track Record Period.

Credit Policy

In addition to certain key account customers we directly sell to, our wholesale distributors and our key account agents are effectively our customers because we sell our products to them. We typically sell our products on credit and grant most of our customers credit terms ranging from 30 to 60 days depending on a number of factors, such as their credit history, scale of operation and financial resources. In line with customary market practice, we generally grant our key account agents and key account customers a credit term of 90 days. We also sell our products to our PRC export agents, which then on-sell and deliver such products to our foreign customers both under OEM arrangements and our own brand, and we typically grant our export agents a credit term of 30 working days. For more information, please see “Financial Information – Certain Balance Sheet Items – Trade receivables, prepayments and other receivables.”

During the Track Record Period, we did not experience any material bad debts, and we did not provide for doubtful debts as we did not experience significant difficulties in collecting our trade receivables. We do not have a general provisioning policy for doubtful debts. We make specific provisions when we are of the view that the collection of an outstanding debt is doubtful.

Advertising and Promotion

To enhance the visibility and marketability of our products and promote our brand recognition, we undertake advertising and promotional campaigns. We typically launch television advertising campaigns to coincide with new product launches. Our promotional activities primarily consist of our participation in domestic and international industry trade shows, on-site promotions at individual points of sale, advertising campaigns on national and regional satellite television channels, as well as in print media such as magazines, flat-panel displays in public areas and public transportation displays. From time to time, we may engage celebrities as our product spokespersons to promote our products. We also collaborate with retailers by installing in-store displays featuring our logos and products during Chinese festival seasons or other special occasions to increase the awareness of our brand name and products.

We believe these advertising and promotion measures help promote our brand and product awareness among our target consumer groups. Going forward, we intend to increase our prime time television advertisement, as well as [●] certain popular television programs and festive events. We also intend to increase our Internet advertising by producing short film clips promoting our brand and products, which we believe will help us to gain access to younger consumers. Our advertising and promotional expenses for the year ended December 31, 2008, 2009 and 2010 and the five months ended May 31, 2011 were RMB71.1 million, RMB81.6 million, RMB77.7 million and RMB44.2 million, respectively, representing 9.9%, 10.6%, 8.3% and 7.3% of our total sales, respectively.

During major Chinese festivals and holidays, such as Chinese New Year, we usually produce a range of gift packs containing selections of our jelly products. We believe that our gift packs are an effective way to introduce our new products to the market by including various flavored jelly products in attractive packaging with story themes or Chinese festival themes.

Seasonality

The sales of some of our products are subject to seasonality. Historically, we have experienced higher sales of our jelly and confectionary products during the traditional Chinese festival and holiday seasons, such as Chinese New Year, which is typically in the first quarter of our financial year. Sales can also fluctuate during the course of a financial year due to other reasons, including the timing of new product launches and advertising and promotional campaigns. We attempt to reduce the impact of product seasonality by diversifying our product range so that we can maintain our overall sales volume and revenue through any particular period.

PRODUCTION PROCESS AND PRODUCTION FACILITIES

Production Facilities and Capacity

We manufacture all our jelly products internally, and as of the Latest Practicable Date, we had three production facilities, namely (i) Jinjiang, Fujian Province; (ii) Tianjin Municipality; and (iii) Chengdu, Sichuan Province. Our production facilities are strategically located to cover the target markets in their respective regions. As of October 31, 2011, we employed over 1,600 production workers to operate and manage our production lines.

As of December 31, 2008, 2009 and 2010 and May 31, 2011, we had nine, nine, 14 and 14 production lines manufacturing our jelly snack products, respectively, and four, five, 10 and 10 production lines manufacturing our jelly beverage products, respectively. The table below sets forth our production capacity, production volume and utilization rate for the products under our jelly product segment for the periods shown below:

Notes:

  • (1) Production capacity for the year ended December 31, 2008, 2009 and 2010 is calculated on a weighted average basis. The weighted average production capacity for a calendar year equals (i) the production capacity at the beginning of the calendar year, plus (ii) weighted new production capacity added during the same calendar year. Weighted new production capacity added during a calendar year is derived by multiplying (x) the total new production capacity added during that calendar year with (y) the numbers of months during which the new production capacity is in operation, (z) divided by 12.

  • (2) Utilization rate is derived by dividing the production volume by the production capacity during the same period. The decrease in utilization rate with respect to our jelly products production to 80.6% for the year ended December 31, 2010 from 93.5% for the year ended December 31, 2009 was primarily due to the expansion of our production capacity in 2010 in anticipation of an increase in demand for our jelly products. We commenced production at our Sichuan production facility in July 2010, and expanded our Fujian production facility’s jelly beverages production capacity in October 2010. The subsequent increase in utilization rate to 85.7% for the five months ended May 31, 2011 was primarily attributable to the ramp-up of such new production capacity, and an increase in our production to satisfy an increase in demand for our jelly products, as originally expected when we decided to expand our production capacity.

  • (3) For the five months ended May 31, 2011, there was no capacity addition, and the production capacity is calculated on a pro-rata basis utilizing the production capacity as of December 31, 2010, which amounted to 113,000 tons for jelly snacks and 82,000 tons for jelly beverages.

In addition to jelly products, we also manufacture powdered milk tea at all our production facilities. As of December 31, 2008, 2009 and 2010 and May 31, 2011, we had seven, 13, 23 and 23 production lines, respectively, producing powdered milk tea. During the year ended December 31, 2008, 2009 and 2010 and the five months ended May 31, 2011, our powdered milk tea weighted average production capacity totaled 2,400 tons, 3,000 tons, 7,200 tons and 4,000 tons, respectively, and our production volume totaled 1,233 tons, 1,171 tons, 2,121 tons and 1,180 tons, respectively. The weighted average production capacity for powdered milk tea is calculated on the same basis that has been adopted in calculating the weighted average production capacity for the jelly product segment as described above. Our utilization rate thus amounted to 51.4%, 39.0%, 29.5% and 29.5% during the same periods, respectively. The general decrease in utilization rate with respect to our powdered milk tea production during the Track Record Period reflected the increase in our production capacity which outpaced the increase in our production volume. We initially manufactured powdered milked tea only in our Fujian production facility. We subsequently commenced powdered milk tea production in our Tianjin production facility in the second half of 2009 and in our Sichuan production facility in the second half of 2010. We increased our production capacity through geographic expansion with a view to better serving the growing demand for powdered milk tea in areas near our production facilities and reducing our freight and transportation costs.

A large portion of our production facilities and equipment are tailor-made to suit our production needs. We purchase most of our equipment from large and reputable domestic manufacturers which construct the equipment according to our specifications. We invest in high quality manufacturing equipment, which we believe is capable of producing higher quality products more efficiently. For example, we recently acquired a number of new sealing machines for our jelly production, which are capable of sealing up to 1.5 tons of jelly snacks per hour, which is approximately five times faster than the existing sealing machines.

We adopt efficient and advanced technology for our production facilities. We endeavor to keep abreast of technological advances in the snack food industry and regularly monitor and upgrade our production technology, equipment and processes. For example, we completed our production technology and equipment upgrade at our Fujian production facility in 2010, which we believe will increase our production capacity and efficiency to meet growing market demand.

Equipment Maintenance

We have implemented a comprehensive maintenance system for our equipment and facilities, including scheduled downtimes for maintenance and repairs, and regular inspections of production facilities and equipment. This allows us to operate our production lines at optimal levels. We carry out routine daily cleaning and maintenance of our production equipment to prolong their useful life. We also carry out major maintenance work annually. Our different production lines and equipment have varying maintenance schedules and downtime periods, which are typically no more than one week. We optimize our production capacity by scheduling major maintenance work during low season for the relevant products’ production lines. We did not experience any material or prolonged interruptions to our production process due to equipment or machinery failure during the Track Record Period.

Production Expansion Plan

We plan to expand our business to benefit from the expected increase in demand for our products, which is based on the following trends and assumptions:

  • The expected continuous growth of the overall PRC economy and household disposable income in the PRC based on historical trends, including China’s real GDP growth at a CAGR of 11.0% from 2003 to 2010, and the increase in the per capita disposable income of urban and rural Chinese residents with a CAGR of 12.3% and 12.3%, respectively, during the same period;

  • The proliferation of retailers selling our products, either through our key account customers’ addition of new retail stores, or by executing our plan to expand our distribution network. According to Euromonitor, leading food retailers including RT-Mart, Wal-Mart, Carrefour and China Resources Vanguard, many of which are our key account customers, have continued to expand their store networks throughout China and are expected to continue their rapid expansion;

  • Continuous strengthening of our brand recognition through increasing marketing activities. We were able to strengthen our brand recognition during the Track Record Period, as evidenced by the increase in our market share from 9.0% in 2008 to 10.3% in 2010 in terms of the total jelly products retail sales value according to Euromonitor. Such increased brand recognition was partly due to our marketing activities, the costs of which amounted to RMB71.1 million in 2008, RMB81.6 million in 2009, RMB77.7 million in 2010 and RMB44.2 million during the five months ended May 31, 2011; and

  • We plan to continue to expand and enhance our product offerings by launching new products with health and other features, including low-sugar or low-calorie jelly products.

In order to support our planned business expansion, we are in the process of expanding the jelly products production capacity at our Sichuan production facility by 30,000 tons per year to 80,000 tons per year, and the expansion is expected to be completed in early 2012. We further intend to increase the production capacity of our Tianjin production facility from 55,000 tons to over 100,000 tons per year of jelly products in the next five years. Moreover, we plan to expand our production capacity by constructing a new production facility. We own a parcel of land in Chuzhou, Anhui Province which has a total site area of approximately 133,332 square meters, and commenced construction of our Anhui production facility in August 2011. We plan to start manufacturing primarily jelly snacks and beverages at our Anhui production facility in the first half of 2013. As our business operation grows, we plan to search for other suitable locations to establish further production facilities. For more information, please see “Financial Information – Capital Expenditures – Planned Capital Expenditures.”

OEM Arrangements

We engage third-party manufacturers through non-exclusive OEM arrangements to manufacture certain products for us, which mainly include confectionary products. As of October 31, 2011, we had 11 OEM partners which were responsible for manufacturing all of our confectionary products, and we engaged three OEM partners to manufacture our other products, with the exception of powdered milk tea. We sell these products under our own brand names and logos, such as “Sunshine City” (“陽光城市”) for confectionary products and “Xiangdoufang” (“鄉豆坊”) for dried bean curd products. For the year ended December 31, 2008, 2009 and 2010 and the five months ended May 31, 2011, products manufactured through OEM arrangements accounted for 14.8%, 9.5%, 11.6% and 12.5% of our total sales, respectively.

Our OEM strategy is to find high quality, reliable OEM partners with which we can establish long-term relationships. We apply a stringent set of criteria when we select our OEM partners, which includes requiring our OEM partners to obtain all requisite production licenses and permits such as the QS Food Production Permits (食品生產許可證) and ensuring that such OEM partners’ production facilities are adequately equipped to manufacture products that meet our specifications. Once we have selected suitable OEM partners, we enter into OEM agreements with them. Our OEM partners are responsible for all raw materials procurement from reputable suppliers. They are also required to meet all national standards for product hygiene and safety. If the products they produce fail to meet the requisite standards, we have the right to reject them and request compensation for all losses suffered.

In order to protect our know-how and trade secrets, we require our OEM partners to keep confidential all information received in connection with the manufacture of our products. We may also pre-mix some of our key ingredients and raw materials before passing them to our OEM partners to be used in the production process to ensure confidentiality of our formulas. We believe this approach not only ensures the confidentiality of our proprietary formulas and recipes, but also helps maintain the quality of products manufactured by our OEM partners.

We believe outsourcing the manufacturing of some of our products allows us to increase production capacity in a timely manner, without incurring additional capital expenditure, which in turn enables us to apply our financial resources to other areas of the business, such as sales and marketing and building our distribution network. It also allows us to launch new types of products efficiently without incurring significant capital investment in acquiring new equipment and machinery. Outsourcing also provides us with greater flexibility to adjust our product mix more quickly in response to changing consumer demands and market conditions.

Jelly powder

Jelly powder consists of various types of powders, such as konjac powder, which is derived from the root of the konjac plant, and carrageen, an extract from seaweed. The proportion of ingredients that makes up the jelly powder we use in our manufacturing process varies depending on the type of products manufactured. We strive to obtain high quality ingredients for our production process, and our product development team seeks to improve the formula of our jelly powder to enrich the texture of our jelly products, while maintaining our production costs at a competitive level.

The ingredients that make up our jelly powder are generally available from a variety of domestic suppliers. For the year ended December 31, 2008, 2009 and 2010 and the five months ended May 31, 2011, we procured the necessary ingredients for jelly powder from three, four, four and four different suppliers, respectively.

Sugar and syrup

Sugar is a commodity generally available from a large number of domestic suppliers. We procure sugar on the spot market. Sugar prices have risen over the past few years in China. In order to maintain our production costs at a competitive level, our product development team seeks to incorporate sugar substitutes, such as fructose syrup, in our production process with an aim to adjusting the formulas and enhancing the texture of our jelly products.

Water

Underground water

We use some underground water in the production of our various products at our Fujian production facility. We conduct extensive procedures to process the underground water we extract and check its quality before we use such water in our manufacturing process. Extracted ground water undergoes various filtration and purification steps that remove impurities before it is boiled as part of the manufacturing process for jelly products.

We are required to apply for a water assumption permit (取水許可證) from the local water resources bureau before we are legally entitled to extract underground water. The water assumption permit is valid for five years and can be renewed by submitting the prescribed documents and renewal fees to the local water resources bureau before the expiration of the permit. Our current permit is valid until the end of 2012. We have not experienced any shortage of underground water at our Fujian production facility since the commencement of our operations.

Tap water

In addition to underground water, we use tap water at our Fujian production facility. We also use tap water at our Tianjin and Sichuan production facilities. We obtain tap water from the relevant local water supply companies or local resources bureaus upon the commencement of operations at each of our production facilities.

We have not experienced any water shortage or problems with water quality in the past and had not received any complaints or been subject to any penalty in connection with the quality of water used in our products in the year ended December 31, 2008, 2009 and 2010 and the five months ended May 31, 2011 or subsequently, up to the Latest Practicable Date.

Procurement

Our raw material procurement is determined by our production schedule. Our production and sales departments determine the expected production and sales volume at a particular time so as to formulate our procurement plan. Our procurement department then contacts the suppliers in relation to our raw materials requirements. All of our raw materials, including packaging materials, are sourced domestically. We adopt a centralized procurement system for the majority of our raw materials in order to enjoy economies of scale and maximize our bargaining power with suppliers. We believe this approach increases our bargaining power and allows us to obtain more competitive prices. Suppliers directly deliver raw materials to each of our production facilities so as to enhance time and cost efficiency.

We generally enter into procurement contracts which are renewable on a yearly basis. Other than sugar, we typically pay the contract price regardless of any subsequent changes in the market price of raw materials ordered, unless the changes in the market price are significant and the suppliers give us advance notice of any proposed price increase. We are only responsible for any subsequent increase in price if such increase occurred as a result of our inability to receive the delivery of raw materials on time. However, as sugar is a commodity, we typically pay the prevailing spot market price. Our suppliers typically engage third-party transportation companies to deliver raw materials to each of our production facilities at their

own costs. The third-party transportation companies are liable for any loss or damage to the goods that occurs during transportation process. After the raw materials are delivered to our warehouses, we have up to 30 days (depending on the type of raw materials procured) within which to inspect the goods and notify the suppliers of any discrepancy in quantity or deficiency and defect in quality.

We closely monitor the quality of all raw materials provided by our suppliers. We inspect all raw materials delivered to our production facilities before accepting the materials to ensure that they comply with the national standards as stipulated by the Standardization Administration of the PRC (國家標準化 管理委員會). We sample check the quality of raw materials based on specific criteria, such as the appearance, hygiene standards, and the chemical and impurity content of the raw materials. Raw materials which fail to comply with our standards and the national standards are returned to the suppliers. For new types of raw materials or raw materials procured from new suppliers, we typically sample them in small production trials to test whether the products manufactured using a particular supply of raw materials satisfy our quality standard in every respect before we continue to use such raw materials in our manufacturing process.

Suppliers

We typically work with reputable, large domestic suppliers to secure key raw materials used in our production process. We have long-term relationships with the suppliers of our principal raw materials, which include sugar, jelly powder and canned fruits. Our raw materials are generally available from a number of domestic suppliers, and we normally have at least two sources of supply for each type of raw materials to reduce the dependency on a single supplier. Most of our suppliers have maintained a working relationship with us for at least five years. For the year ended December 31, 2008, 2009 and 2010 and the five months ended May 31, 2011, we had 78, 81, 78 and 83 suppliers, respectively.

We select our suppliers on the basis of product quality, reputation, scale of production, price and ability to meet our delivery schedule. We require goods provided by our suppliers to meet our quality standards and the standards set by the AQSIQ of the PRC. If the goods supplied do not meet the quality standards we stipulate under the supply contracts, we may reject them and be compensated for any related costs. Furthermore, before we engage a new supplier, such supplier has to pass our internal quality control process, including inspection of their production facilities and production process, testing of their prototype materials and satisfactory trial production before we enter into a procurement agreement with them.

Payment terms granted by our suppliers vary depending on a number of factors including our relationship with the suppliers and the size of the transactions. On average, our suppliers typically provide us with credit terms of 30 to 60 days. We usually settle our trade payables by bank transfers and bank bills.

With a view to developing a long-term strategic cooperation with COFCO Corporation, we entered into a strategic cooperation framework agreement with COFCO on August 8, 2011, which is a memorandum pursuant to which the parties intend to enter into future specific agreements. Under this document, COFCO as our raw materials supplier assures the quality of raw materials it supplies, including syrup and flavoring essence. In the event that there is a shortage of raw materials, COFCO shall prioritize our purchase orders. Moreover, due to our long-term business relationship with COFCO, COFCO agrees to extend us credit terms which are longer and more flexible than those it typically grants to its customers. For more detail, please see “History and Corporate Structure – Strategic Cooperation Relationship with COFCO.”

During the year ended December 31, 2008, 2009 and 2010 and the five months ended May 31, 2011, purchases of raw materials from our five largest suppliers represented 34.5%, 29.8%, 27.1% and 30.6% of our total cost of goods purchased, respectively, and purchases from our single largest supplier accounted for 9.0%, 8.3%, 6.8% and 7.9% of our total cost of goods purchased, respectively. None of our Directors, their respective associates or any Shareholder who, to the knowledge of our Directors, owned more than 5% of our issued share capital as of the Latest Practicable Date, has any interest in any of our five largest suppliers during the Track Record Period.

INVENTORY CONTROL AND LOGISTICS ARRANGEMENT

Inventory Management

Our inventory primarily consists of finished products and raw materials (including packaging materials). We have implemented an effective inventory control system that requires close co-ordination among our various functional departments, including sales and marketing, raw material procurement, production and storage.

We procure raw materials and plan our production based on actual and anticipated orders received from our customers. We usually maintain a safety inventory level for raw materials sufficient to meet 20 to 40 days’ production requirements, depending on the type of raw material involved. Once the finished goods are produced, we endeavor to transport them to our customers at the earliest possible time. We manufacture goods upon receiving orders from our customers and do not typically maintain substantial safety inventory levels for finished goods, except during periods leading up to traditional Chinese festivals such as the Chinese New Year, in order to accommodate the increased demand for our products. We believe that we manage our inventory at a reasonable level based on the management’s assessment, which minimizes storage space and carrying costs, enhances working capital efficiency and reduces the risk of deterioration of products while in storage, which is important for our stringent quality control policy.

Our safety inventory levels for raw materials vary according to season and may be adjusted depending on our production and sales plans, and are actively monitored by our procurement department based on our actual and expected procurement arrangements and the level of goods being delivered by our suppliers. Our safety inventory levels for finished products also vary according to season and may be adjusted depending on our production plan and sales requirements. In order to maintain accurate inventory records, we conduct monthly inventory counts on a rotation basis, and we conduct full inventory counts once every year. We also assess diminution in value of our inventory items on a regular basis.

Transportation

We engage independent third-party logistics services providers to deliver our products to wholesale distributors, key account customers, key account agents and export agents at our cost. The wholesale distributors then distribute to secondary distributors or retailers at their own costs. Similarly, the key account agents distribute to key account customers and the export agents deliver to our foreign customers at their own costs. Our OEM partners are generally responsible for the delivery of finished products to the warehouses of our production facilities at their own expense.

The vast majority of our products are delivered by road, with the remainder delivered by rail, from our production facilities to our customers’ warehouses or to designated ports in China with respect to products sold to the export agents. We have long-term relationships with a number of third-party logistics

BUSINESS

providers, with which we enter into annual transportation agreements. We select logistics providers on the basis of their track record, distribution network coverage and scale of operation. We typically inspect the trucks transporting our products before they leave our facilities and require the logistics providers to follow certain storage and transportation procedures to ensure that our products are transported under proper conditions. We require the logistics providers to inspect the products and to confirm the quantity of products to be delivered and the destination for delivery. Once the goods to be delivered have been confirmed, the logistics providers are liable for any damage or loss which arises during transportation, including delay of delivery and spoilage, damage or loss of products, unless such delay, spoilage, damage or loss was caused by our mishandling of the products.

QUALITY CONTROL

We have instituted rigorous quality control procedures in our manufacturing processes. We adhere to stringent quality control guidelines and conduct quality checks at various points of our entire production process, from sourcing of raw materials to processing, packaging and inventory storage. We have a dedicated quality control team headed by our executive Director, Mr. Zheng Yu Shuang and three executive personnel. This committee is responsible for ensuring that we adhere to our internal quality control procedures. During the Track Record Period and up to the Latest Practicable Date, we did not, due to product quality issues, (i) receive fines, product recall orders or other penalties from the PRC government or other regulatory bodies, (ii) receive any material goods return requests from our wholesale distributors, key account agents, key account customers or export agents, or (iii) receive any material complaints from consumers. As of October 31, 2011, we had a team of over 45 quality control staff that implement our quality control system.

We have maintained, since 2003, ISO 9001 and HACCP certifications in relation to our product quality and safety control systems for our Fujian and Tianjin production facilities. These certifications are subject to annual independent audits by third parties. As the Sichuan production facility only came into operation in July 2010, we intend to start the certification processes for obtaining ISO 9001 and HACCP certifications before the end of 2011. We have also obtained the QS Food Production Permits (食品生產 許可證) for the manufacture of our products from the provincial-level Bureau of Quality and Technical Supervision (質量技術監督局) for all our production facilities. For our export sales, we have obtained the sanitary registration certificate of export commodities (出口商品衛生註冊證書) issued by the Certification and Accreditation Administration of PRC (中國國家認證認可監督管理委員會). In order to obtain and maintain the QS production permit and the sanitary registration certificate of export commodities, we have to meet the quality and hygiene standards set by the PRC government, covering different stages of the production process from raw material procurement, manufacturing, maintenance of production facilities, finished products and storage. Moreover, we are subject to annual inspection from the relevant PRC government authorities.

Our external internal control adviser, Crowe Horwath (HK) CPA Limited, performed an assessment on our internal control systems, including reviewing internal quality control guidelines and policies such as “Policies on Product Quality Assessment,” “Procedures on Handling Irregular Raw Materials and Packing Materials,” “Policies on Product Quality Analysis Management” and “Procedures on Production Processes,” which are implemented throughout our business production process. No insufficiency and ineffectiveness on the internal control system (including food safety and quality control) had been identified, as considered by the internal control adviser, in the course of the internal control review.

Our quality control system covers the following:

Raw materials quality control. We require our raw materials suppliers to give us reports from independent laboratories with regard to the quality of their raw materials annually, and such practice is in line with industry norms. When these raw materials arrive at our warehouse, our quality control personnel check them to ensure that the quantity and quality of the raw materials meet our specifications, including having correct labeling and packaging, before they are accepted. We also perform laboratory tests to ensure that the raw materials and packaging materials are up to our specifications. We test the raw materials following the national quality standards stipulated under GB14881 General Hygienic Regulation for Food Enterprises (食品企業通用衛生規範). Any sub-standard raw materials will be returned.

We also conduct periodic inspection on the quality control compliance level of our procured raw materials by (i) sending the relevant raw materials to external laboratories, such as the Jinjiang Product Quality Supervision and Inspection Institute (晉江市產品質量監督檢驗所), which holds a Metrology Accreditation Certificate, and the Fujian Provincial Quality Control Center (福建省質量控制中心) for quality control testing in accordance with relevant national standards; and (ii) sending our quality control inspectors to our suppliers to conduct random quality control testing pursuant to the ISO 9001:2008 standards. Any raw materials that do not meet our standards are returned to the supplier.

Production process quality control. We strictly follow all relevant industry standards for the manufacture of our products. For example, in relation to jelly products, we adhere to the GB19883-2005 standard issued by AQSIQ and the Standardization Administration of the PRC (國家標準化管理委員會) as well as the GB19299-2003 standard issued by the Ministry of Health of the PRC (中華人民共和國衛生部). We conduct quality checks at key control points of our production process in order to ensure that the production process is operating properly and that there is no contamination or impurity affecting our products. We also conduct a comprehensive production process inspection annually to ensure that all of our production equipment and machinery satisfy the national hygiene and safety standards. When irregularities are found, we increase our sampling size and make necessary adjustments or corrections. If the problem persists, we will halt production and conduct a full investigation into the cause of the problem. Production will only be resumed when the problem has been resolved.

Production environment and workplace safety control. We conduct periodic health checkups for all of our employees and require them to maintain good personal hygiene. We provide regular product quality, production safety and other technical training to all our staff, including production personnel, quality control and inspection personnel as well as managerial personnel to ensure they are kept abreast of the latest safety and hygiene requirements.

Finished goods quality control. Our finished products are packaged and stored at our warehouses before they are delivered to our customers. These finished products are stored in designated zones within our warehouses according to their manufacturing dates and product categories. To maintain their freshness, our finished products are stored in well-ventilated, temperature and humidity controlled warehouses. Moreover, we undertake pest control regularly to ensure our warehouses are pest-free. We also take safety measures to minimize fire hazards and water damage to our finished goods.

In order to maintain the same quality standards as our own production facilities, we identify reliable raw materials suppliers and recommend that our OEM partners source from them. All of the raw materials used in production by our OEM partners are subject to our inspection, and we randomly sample each batch of raw materials for such inspection in accordance with relevant national standards on food safety. We also dispatch our quality control staff regularly to monitor the production process at our OEM partners’

facilities. We conduct sample checks for every batch of finished products delivered to us to ensure they meet relevant national standards on visual appearance, product quality and food safety. In line with industry norms, we submit samples of our finished products to independent laboratories near each of our production facilities, such as the China National Quality Supervision and Testing Center for Processed Food (Fuzhou) (國家加工食品質量監督檢驗中心(福州)), for quality control checks in accordance with relevant national standards on visual appearance, product quality and food safety on a semi-annual basis.

Although plasticizers are common adjuvants in packaging materials when used under their legally permitted levels, there have been recent public concerns over the illegal usage of certain plasticizers as food additives after such incidents were first publicized in Taiwan in May 2011. None of us, our suppliers or our OEM partners has used any plasticizers to manufacture our food and beverage products, and plasticizers are not ingredients to the manufacture of our food and beverage products. Our products were sent in their original packaging to the China National Quality Supervision and Testing Center for Processed Food (Fuzhou) and Jinjiang Product Quality Supervision and Inspection Institute for inspections, both of which are qualified to conduct plasticizer inspections by virtue of their Metrology Accreditation Certificates issued by the Certification and Accreditation Administration of the PRC (中國 國家認證認可監督管理委員會) that attest to these institutions’ abilities to conduct such inspections. We also took proactive measures to arrange plasticizers testing by independent laboratories on our products submitted in their retail packaging. Furthermore, we urged our raw materials suppliers and OEM partners to arrange plasticizers testing by independent laboratories on the raw materials and the packaging materials supplied to us and the products manufactured by our OEM partners on our behalf and provide us confirmation thereafter. Through these measures, we have confirmed that none of our products contains any plasticizer (whether as a result of contamination during the production processes or migration from packaging materials), none of the raw materials we use and none of the products manufactured by our OEM partners on our behalf contains any plasticizer, and the packaging materials supplied to us do not contain plasticizers exceeding levels permitted under relevant PRC laws and regulations. In addition, there are no uniform international standards regulating the levels of plasticizers in packaging materials, and as of the Latest Practicable Date we had not received any governmental notices or inquiries from countries to which we export our products with regard to the usage of plasticizers in packaging materials. Moreover, the PRC State Food and Drug Administration published a list of manufactures of food-related raw materials which have been found to use plasticizers in their products in June 2011, and we confirm that none of our raw materials suppliers is on such list. In order to ensure that none of our food and beverage products contains any plasticizer, we have started to include plasticizers testing as part of our existing semi-annual quality control checks on samples of our finished products in their retail packaging in accordance with relevant national standards on visual appearance, product quality and food safety by independent laboratories. In addition, we have obtained confirmation letters from our raw materials suppliers and OEM partners in favor of us, warranting that they have not used any additives or adjuvants in raw materials supplied to us or OEM products manufactured on our behalf in violation of relevant laws and regulations, and agreeing to indemnify us for any loss incurred as a result of their such violations. We believe that the plasticizer incident has had no material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial conditions.

RESEARCH AND PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT

We have successfully expanded our product offerings through continuous research and product development efforts.

We closely monitor the types of competing products available on the market, and our sales and marketing team and wholesale distributors also provide us with timely and direct customer feedback to assist in our product development efforts. We adopt a market-oriented product development approach. We carry out feasibility analyses prior to launching new products. We assess consumer preferences, and test flavors and textures of our new products to ensure they cater to our target consumers’ tastes. We also conduct cost-benefit analyses on our new products and aim to optimize our existing production facilities where possible for the production of our new products. Our new product launches are typically scheduled in accordance with our marketing plans.

We have a dedicated research and product development team responsible for expanding the range and improving the quality of our products. We undertake the majority of our research and product development activities for our jelly products in-house. We also cooperate with higher education, academic and research institutions such as Fujian Agriculture and Forestry University (福建農林大學) and the College of Food Engineering and Biotechnology, Tianjin University of Science and Technology (天津科技大學食品工程與 生物技術學院) to jointly develop new jelly products. We entered into cooperative joint research and development agreements with these third-party institutions for a term of five years, during which period they undertake to develop new formulas or products according to our product development plans and specifications, provide technical support and training to our production personnel, and assist with product quality control. In return, we have agreed to pay fees to these third-party institutions and attend classes or seminars organized by them to share our production expertise. Under our agreement with Fujian Agriculture and Forestry University, the university retains the proprietary right to any jointly developed patents, and we paid them a one-off fee of RMB50,000 for the exclusive right to produce certain types of jelly snacks using its patent. Under our agreement with Tianjin University of Science and Technology, we retain the proprietary right to any patents or products developed jointly, and we pay them RMB50,000 per year for a period of five years starting 2008.

In addition, we have been acting as the convenor in preparing for the establishment of the Jelly Products Working Group since 2008, and the Jelly Products Working Group was formally established on August 19, 2011. As a member of the Jelly Products Working Group, we will participate in the formulation of national standards for different types of various jelly products.

We invest in research and product development to maintain our competitiveness and to expand our sales, as demonstrated by our historical performance and our track record of bringing new products to the market successfully. For the year ended December 31, 2008, 2009 and 2010 and the five months ended May 31, 2011, our research and development expenditures were RMB12.6 million, RMB13.9 million, RMB19.0 million and RMB8.2 million, respectively. We aim to continually innovate and improve our products to cater to changing consumer preferences, focusing particularly on product tastes, textures and packaging, while maintaining our cost of production at acceptable levels. Our jelly product innovation efforts have led to the introduction of a number of new products, including “Eden Bar” (“異度果吧”) and “Fresh Q” (“鮮 Q”) jelly beverages. We have also produced jelly snacks with added probiotics such as our “Xiaoxin” (“小新”) series of jelly snacks. We typically launch a number of new jelly products or flavors every year and eliminate less popular products from our product range. We have also expanded our product offerings to include jelly products with vitamins and probiotics, and other snack food categories such as confectionary products, powdered milk tea, dried bean curd products and baked products. In addition, with the growing desire for healthy diet and lifestyle among Chinese consumers, we intend to focus our research and product development efforts on low-sugar or low-calorie jelly products, as well as jelly products with vitamins and minerals content. Currently, we are participating in the lawmaking process to formulate industry standards for low-sugar jelly products by submitting our own comments and proposals, and intend to launch low-sugar jelly products after such standards are formulated.

With a view to developing a long-term strategic cooperation with COFCO Corporation, we entered into a strategic cooperation framework agreement with COFCO on August 8, 2011, which is a memorandum pursuant to which the parties intend to enter into future specific agreements. Under this document, we and COFCO agree to cooperate on new product development and jointly contribute the necessary technical and staff resources to joint product development projects. If any intellectual property rights result from such joint development projects, we are entitled to sole ownership of such intellectual property rights, while COFCO is entitled to a priority right to use such intellectual properties. For more information please see “History and Corporate Structure – Strategic Cooperation Relationship with COFCO.”

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

Our intellectual property rights are of fundamental importance to our business since we rely significantly on consumers’ recognition of our brand names.

Intellectual Property Owned or Under Application

We currently distribute our jelly and certain confectionary products under the core brand name

“ ” (“Labixiaoxin”), and we are currently consolidating all our existing brands with the intention to use “Labixiaoxin” as an umbrella brand to market all our products. We are dependent on the general recognition of the “Labixiaoxin” brand name. We have registered our trademarks, including our “Labixiaoxin” logo, in the PRC and Hong Kong and we have also applied for registration of such trademarks in other countries such as India and Mexico. We completed the registrations of our “Labixiaoxin” trademark in the PRC in classes covering our jelly products in 2000 (with registration number 1470228) and our confectionary products in 2002 (with registration number 1954434). At the time we applied for the registrations of our “Labixiaoxin” trademark, it was not identical or similar to any then existing registered trademarks in China, and therefore our PRC legal adviser, Jingtian & Gongcheng, has confirmed that our trademark was legally registered in the PRC. We are aware that “Crayon Shinchan,” a Japanese manga series, is commonly perceived to be known as “蠟筆小新” or “蠟筆小新” in Chinese (or “Labixiaoxin” in pinyin). Trademarks incorporating the manga series’ main character’s image or the Chinese characters “蠟筆小新” or “蠟筆小新” rendered in different artistic styles have been registered by third parties unrelated to us in various countries and regions, including the PRC, Taiwan and Hong Kong. We do not use the image of the “Crayon Shinchan” manga series’ main character in our trademarks, nor do we use that image to market our products. In 2005 and in 2007, Futabasha applied to the Trademark Board, the regulatory authority responsible for handling trademark disputes in the PRC, for the revocation of our “Labixiaoxin” trademark registrations in administrative proceedings primarily on the grounds that our trademark infringed copyrights owned by Futabasha in the “Crayon Shinchan” manga series, commonly perceived to be “蠟筆小新” or “蠟筆小新” (“ labixiaoxin ” in pinyin) in Chinese. The Trademark Board ruled in our favor in 2009 and 2010 on the following grounds:

  • Our “Labixiaoxin” trademark does not contain the Chinese characters “蠟筆小新” rendered in the same artistic style as that used in Futabasha’s trademark, and we do not use the image of the “Crayon Shinchan” manga series’ main character in our trademark, and thus it is not similar or identical to Futabasha’s trademark.

  • The registrations of our “Labixiaoxin” trademark in classes covering our jelly products and confectionary products received regulatory approvals in 2000 and in 2002, respectively, before news and articles about the “Crayon Shinchan” manga series and the related merchandise first appeared in China, in 2003, and therefore before Futabasha’s trademark could have become a well-known trademark in China, which could have prevented similar marks from being registered in the same or other classes.

  • Our “Labixiaoxin” trademark was not registered through improper means or with malicious intentions.

Furthermore, according to the Trademark Law, there is generally a five-year time limit to challenge an approved trademark registration starting from the registration date. Since the “Labixiaoxin” trademark was registered in classes covering our jelly products in 2000 (with registration number 1470228) and our confectionary products in 2002 (with registration number 1954434), the respective time limits have lapsed. We and our PRC legal adviser, Jingtian & Gongcheng, are of the view that (i) we have completed all legal procedures in the PRC necessary to register our core “Labixiaoxin” trademark in classes covering our jelly products in 2000 (with registration number 1470228) and confectionary products in 2002 (with registration number 1954434), and the SAIC has approved such trademark registrations before Futabasha completed its trademark registrations, (ii) such use has not infringed the intellectual property rights of any third parties, and (iii) it is unlikely that there will be any foreseeable complaint, claim, dispute or litigation made against us in connection with our “Labixiaoxin” trademark. In addition, our “Labixiaoxin” trademark does not use the image of the “Crayon Shinchan” manga series’ main character and presents the Chinese characters “蠟筆小新” vertically, while Futabasha’s trademarks may use such image and present the Chinese characters “蠟筆小新” horizontally in artistic styles different from ours. As such, our “Labixiaoxin” trademark and Futabasha’s trademarks are clearly distinguishable and not considered similar or identical. Furthermore, based on searches conducted on the PRC Trademark Bureau’s online database, (i) Futabasha received approvals to register its trademarks beginning in 2003, and (ii) our “Labixiaoxin” trademark and Futabasha’s trademarks are registered in different classes in the PRC, with the exception of class 30, where our “Labixiaoxin” trademark and Futabasha’s trademark are registered in different sub-classes. We further believe that our continuous use of the “Labixiaoxin” trademark will not infringe the intellectual property rights of any third parties in the future, and the risk of our not being able to use the “Labixiaoxin” trademark or brand name is remote. For more details, please see “Risk Factors – Risk Relating to Our Business – We may face challenges to our intellectual property rights and market confusion regarding our ‘Labixiaoxin’ brand name.”

As part of our anti-counterfeit measures to protect our trademark, we sued a third party (the “Defendant”) in the PRC for using our “Labixiaoxin” trademark on its herbal tortoise jelly products without our authorization in 2007. The infringing products were not in a class in which our “Labixiaoxin” trademark was then registered. During the course of the litigation, we made a petition to the SAIC, which subsequently recognized our “Labixiaoxin” trademark as a “China Well-Known Trademark” (中國馳名商 標) in 2007 and prohibited the Defendant’s infringing use. According to our PRC legal adviser, Jingtian & Gongcheng, the “China Well-Known Trademark” recognition could only be made by the PRC Trademark Bureau or the Trademark Appeal Board of State Administration for Industry and Commerce of the PRC, based on a party’s petition for such recognition during a trademark infringement lawsuit, or a dispute originating from processes concerning (i) trademarks administration, (ii) trademark registrations, or (iii) trademark reviews and adjudication. Therefore, there is no practice or necessity to renew this recognition periodically. In the event of a future trademark dispute or lawsuit, our “Labixiaoxin”

trademark’s past recognition as a “China Well-Known Trademark” has evidentiary significance. If our past recognition is not disputed, the adjudicating body may take as a matter of fact that the trademark is still a “China Well-Known Trademark,” which can prevent the registration of identical or similar marks in the same or different classes in the future.

We undertake proactive anti-counterfeiting measures, including (i) timely registration of marks we intend to use as trademarks in relevant jurisdictions, (ii) active monitoring of the market for potential infringement activities, and (iii) frequent communications with our wholesale distributors to respond to potential infringement activities they have identified in their respective distribution areas. During the Track Record Period and up to the Latest Practicable Date, we had not experienced any infringement of our intellectual property rights having a material adverse effect on our business.

In March 2011, we entered into a trademark application transfer agreement pursuant to which Labixiaoxin (Xiamen) Trading Co., Ltd. (蠟筆小新(廈門)商貿有限公司), a company jointly owned by the daughters of two of our executive Directors, Mr. Zheng Yu Long and Mr. Zheng Yu Shuang, transferred the application rights to the trademark “Xiangdoufang” (“鄉豆坊”) to us for consideration of RMB1,000, and we applied for the registration of such trademark with the Trademark Office of the SAIC. We are entitled to enjoy the exclusive right to use the “Xiangdoufang” trademark during the period between the date of the trademark transfer agreement and the date that the trademark registration becomes effective, which is expected to be in late 2011. We currently use “Xiangdoufang” to market our dried bean curd products. In March 2011, we also entered into six patent transfer agreements pursuant to which two of our executive Directors transferred the application rights to six patents relating to product packaging designs to us for no consideration, and the Patent Office of the National Intellectual Property Bureau approved our applications to transfer the ownership of such patents to us in April and May 2011. One of such transferred patents expired in June 2011.

In August 2011, we entered into a trademark transfer agreement pursuant to which Jinjiang Weili Foods Co., Ltd. (晉江市味力食品有限公司), a company jointly owned by two of our executive Directors, Mr. Zheng Yu Long and Mr. Zheng Yu Huan, agreed to transfer certain trademarks (“Transferred Trademarks”) to us for consideration of RMB1,000. The Transferred Trademarks are registered in classes 2 (paints), 3 (cleaning preparations), 5 (pharmaceuticals), 6 (metal goods), 8 (hand tools), 9 (electrical and scientific apparatus), 11 (environmental control apparatus), 12 (vehicles), 14 (jewelry), 16 (paper goods and printed matter), 20 (furniture and articles not otherwise classified), 24 (fabrics), 26 (fancy goods), 32 (light beverages), 33 (wines and spirits), 34 (smokers’ articles) and 35 (advertising and business services). The Transferred Trademarks are visually similar or identical to trademarks owned by us, and Mr. Zheng Yu Long and Mr. Zheng Yu Huan deem it advisable to consolidate the ownership of such similar trademarks in our Group. We have applied for the transfer of the Transferred Trademarks with the Trademark Office of the SAIC, and are entitled to the exclusive right to use the Transferred Trademarks during the period between the date of the trademark transfer agreement and the date that the transfer of the Transferred Trademarks becomes effective, which is expected to be before February 2012.

We have been exporting our products under our “Larbee” (“ ”) brand. We do not export our

products under our “Labixiaoxin” trademark because it contains Chinese characters which make it less effective to elicit brand recognition and loyalty from non-Chinese consumers. We are aware that the PRC is a signatory to major international conventions concerning intellectual property rights, such as the Paris Convention for the Protection of Industrial Property (the “Paris Convention”), and the Madrid System for the International Registration of Marks (the “Madrid System”). Under the Paris Convention, if an

applicant has filed a trademark application in a member country, its subsequent application in another member country may enjoy the same filing date as the original application, provided that the latter application is filed within six months from the original application. Under the Madrid System, it is possible for an applicant in a member country to file a trademark application directly with its own national or regional trademark office and obtain protection for such trademark in other member countries. Because (i) we do not use the “Labixiaoxin” trademark on our exported products and (ii) export sales only accounted for 8.2%, 5.8%, 7.7% and 5.5% of our total sales during the year ended December 31, 2008, 2009 and 2010 and the five months ended May 31, 2011, respectively, we do not believe the potential advantages the Paris Convention or the Madrid System may afford us in connection with the registration of our “Labixiaoxin” trademark in other countries will significantly benefit our export sales, and have not availed and do not plan to avail ourselves to such potential advantages. Furthermore, regardless of whether Futabasha’s trademarks have been or will be registered under the Paris Convention or the Madrid System, our PRC legal adviser, Jingtian & Gongcheng, has confirmed that Futabasha will not have any priority rights over our registered “Labixiaoxin” trademark in the PRC, because we have completed the registrations of our core “Labixiaoxin” trademark in the PRC in classes covering our jelly products in 2000 (with registration number 1470228) and our confectionary products in 2002 (with registration number 1954434) before Futabasha completed its trademark registrations in the PRC. In addition, since our “Labixiaoxin” trademark and Futabasha’s trademark are clearly distinguishable and not considered similar or identical, we believe that Futabasha will not have any valid trademark infringement claims against us in the PRC, whether such claims arise under PRC laws and regulations, the Paris Convention or the Madrid System. Based on the foregoing, we believe our current trademark administration practice does not and will not have any material adverse effect on the Group.

As of the Latest Practicable Date, we had registered 162 trademarks in China and overseas. As of the same date, we also had 10 registered patents in China relating to our product packaging designs. As of the Latest Practicable Date, we had made 43 trademark and six patent applications in China. We have submitted our registration applications for those trademarks and patents and our applications are being processed by the Trademark Office of the SAIC. For details, please see “Statutory and General Information” in Appendix VII to this document.

Intellectual Property under Licensing Agreement

We distribute certain of our jelly products using the “Snoopy” logo and other characters in the “Peanuts” comics series pursuant to an exclusive copyright licensing agreement entered into in December 2007 with Nanjing Fangzhiyuan Food Products Company Limited (南京芳之圓食品有限公司) (the “Licensor”), an Independent Third Party, which is the licensed copyright owner in the PRC. The Licensor is authorized under its licensing agreement with its licensor to sublicense to us the rights to use the “Snoopy” logo and other characters in the “Peanuts” comics series. The copyright licensing agreement was for a term of three years and we subsequently renewed the agreement in December 2010 for a further term of two years till the end of 2012. Upon expiration, we intend to renew our licensing agreement with the Licensor. Under the licensing agreement, we are required to pay a predetermined licensing fee within the first month of entering into the agreement, and we are required to sell products which bear the “Snoopy” logo at agreed prices. The Licensor is required to do what is reasonably necessary to protect our exclusive right to use the “Snoopy” logo under the agreement and assist us with designing and conducting advertising and promotional campaigns with respect to products bearing the “Snoopy” logo.

On July 1, 2009, we were granted an exclusive right by Fujian Agriculture and Forestry University to produce certain types of jelly snacks pursuant to a registered patent with a validity period of five years commencing from July 1, 2009. We paid Fujian Agriculture and Forestry University a one-off fee of RMB50,000 for the exclusive use of the registered patent. Our sales attributable to the jelly snacks produced under such patent accounted for 0.1% in 2009, 0.2% in 2010 and 0.2% in the first five months of 2011 of our sales. We may negotiate with Fujian Agriculture and Forestry University to extend the right to use its patent if we deem it commercially advisable when the current license is near expiration.

Details of our registered intellectual property portfolio are provided in the section headed “Statutory and General Information −Information about the Business – Intellectual property rights of the Group” in Appendix VII to this document.

COMPETITION

While the PRC jelly products industry had over 500 jelly manufacturers in 2010, according to Euromonitor, the top five jelly manufacturers commanded approximately 50% of the total market share in terms of total retail sales value of jelly products. According to Euromonitor, the top five jelly manufacturers in China in 2010 were Guangdong Strong Group Co., Ltd. (廣東喜之郎集團有限公司), us, Want Want China Holdings Limited (中國旺旺控股有限公司), Fujian Qinqin Co., Ltd. (福建親親股份有 限公司) and Dongguan Hsu Fu Chi Foods Co., Ltd. (東莞徐福記食品有限公司) in terms of total jelly products retail sales value.

Competition for jelly products is primarily on the basis of brand recognition, consumer preference, product innovation and price. According to Euromonitor, in the year ended December 31, 2010, we were the second largest manufacturer of jelly products in China with a total market share of 10.3% in terms of retail sales value of jelly products. For the same period, the largest manufacturer had a market share of 19.7%. We had reinforced our leading position over the Track Record Period by gaining the most market share from 2008 to 2010 out of the top five jelly manufacturers, according to Euromonitor. Furthermore, according to Euromonitor, we were the fastest growing jelly beverages manufacturer out of the top five jelly beverages manufacturers, increasing our market share of jelly beverages products from 9.0% in 2008 to 13.3% in 2010.

INSURANCE

Our insurance policies primarily cover social insurance and damages to certain fixed assets, such as our production plants and equipment as well as raw materials and finished products in storage caused by natural disasters such as droughts, floods, earthquakes, hailstorms, windstorms and snowstorms. For the year ended December 31, 2008, 2009 and 2010 and the five months ended May 31, 2011, we incurred expenses for such insurance policies in the amount of approximately RMB27,000, RMB25,000, RMB51,000 and RMB44,000, respectively. We do not maintain product liability insurance coverage with respect to our domestic and export sales, which is not compulsory in China, nor is it contrary to market practice in our industry. We rely on our stringent quality control to limit our product liability risks, and we have not experienced any product liability claims in relation to our products since our inception. After taking into account (i) our stringent quality control procedures, (ii) our compliance in all material respects with the relevant laws and regulations applicable to us in the PRC and in destination countries to which we export our products through obtaining the relevant health and food safety approvals, certificates,

registrations or any other legally required documentation, (iii) the limited types of insurance coverage that are currently available in the PRC, and (iv) the amount of export sales as a relatively small percentage of our total sales, our Directors have concluded that the cost of purchasing product liability insurance coverage outweighs the benefits that we would derive from such insurance coverage, and our insurance policies are reasonable and in line with the general practices in our industry in China. We are also not insured against business interruptions resulting from natural disasters such as droughts, floods, earthquakes or severe weather conditions, any suspension or cessation in the supply of utilities and other calamities.

ENVIRONMENTAL COMPLIANCE

We are subject to PRC environmental and safety laws and regulations promulgated by both the central and local governments. The laws and regulations applicable to us include the Environmental Protection Law of the PRC (中華人民共和國環境保護法), the Law of the PRC on Prevention and Control of Environmental Noise Pollution (中華人民共和國環境噪聲污染防治法), the Environmental Impact Assessment Law (中華人民共和國環境影響評價法) and the Regulations on Administration of Construction Project Environmental Protection (建設項目環境保護管理條例). Pursuant to those laws and regulations, each construction project is required to undergo an environmental assessment and an environmental impact assessment report (項目環境影響報告) is required to be submitted to the relevant government authorities for approval before commencement of construction. When there is a material change in respect of the construction site, or in the scale or nature of a given project, a new environmental impact assessment report must be submitted for approval. Other than a new construction project at our Fujian production facility, we have submitted environmental impact assessment reports for construction projects in relation to all our production facilities for assessment by the PRC government and have obtained the relevant approvals. Under relevant PRC laws and regulations, completed construction projects, including production facilities, must undergo environmental protection inspection procedures carried out by the local environmental protection bureaus, which will issue pollutant discharge permits (排 放污染物許可證) if the completed construction projects pass the inspection procedures. Although the food and beverage industry is generally regarded as low polluting, during the course of food production, there may be increased noise pollution and increased waste water, exhaust gas and solid waste. We have obtained the pollutant discharge permit for the discharge of pollutants such as waste water, solid waste and other waste with respect to our Fujian production facility. We submitted the environmental impact assessment reports and obtained the approvals to commence construction of our Tianjin production facility in January 2006 and our Sichuan production facility in April 2008, and the construction projects including pollution control equipment were completed on March 2008 and July 2010, respectively. After taking into account our expansion plan, our low polluting production, the pollution control equipment in place and the uncertainty as to the length of time the local environmental protection bureaus may take to complete their inspection procedures, we decided to commence production at our Tianjin and Sichuan production facilities in March 2008 and July 2010, respectively, as they were undergoing the environmental protection inspection procedures after which they would obtain the pollutant discharge permits. In letters issued in March 2011, the local environmental protection bureaus in Tianjin and Sichuan confirmed that (i) we were in the process of undergoing the relevant environmental protection inspection procedures, (ii) each of our Tianjin and Sichuan production facilities could obtain its pollutant discharge permit after it had passed the inspection procedures, and (iii) our pollution treatment practices at the Tianjin and Sichuan production facilities were in compliance with the relevant PRC environmental protection laws and regulations. In August 2011, our Sichuan production facility obtained the pollutant discharge permit. We are currently in the process of applying for the relevant environmental protection inspection procedures to be undertaken with respect to our Tianjin production facility, and we expect to obtain the pollutant discharge permit

before the end of 2011. Our PRC legal adviser, Jingtian & Gongcheng, has confirmed that there are no foreseeable legal impediments in obtaining the pollutant discharge permit for our Tianjin production facility. Jingtian & Gongcheng has further advised that each instance of non-compliance at the Sichuan and Tianjin production facilities may subject us to a maximum fine of RMB100,000, for an aggregate amount of RMB200,000.

We seek to optimize resource utilization and water use in our production activities, enhance environmental awareness of our staff, and monitor environment protection programs through pollution indicators. We have implemented environmental protection measures, including procedures and programs related to wastewater discharge management, noise control, resources and energy use control, environmental protection enhancement and sustainable development, internal environmental examination and evaluation, environmental emergency response and impact control. We believe that our operations were in compliance in all material respects with currently applicable national and local environmental protection laws and regulations in the PRC during the Track Record Period and up to the Latest Practicable Date.

We have maintained an IS014001 environmental management system certificate (環境管理體系認證 證書) issued by Beijing Century Certification Co., Ltd. (北京新世紀認證有限公司) in relation to LBXX Fujian and LBXX Tianjin, which evidences that our production environment and waste disposal systems meet the latest relevant standards required by IS014001: 2004.

For the year ended December 31, 2008, 2009 and 2010 and the five months ended May 31, 2011, we incurred costs of approximately RMB7,000, RMB9,000, RMB20,000 and RMB58,000, respectively, in connection with our compliance with applicable environmental laws and regulations. We expect to incur similar amount of costs in the near future, subject to any future changes in applicable environmental laws and regulations which may arise.

OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH AND SAFETY AND LABOR ISSUES

We have adopted certain management rules on production safety based on the safety laws and regulations of the PRC in order to ensure that we provide a safe working environment for our employees. It is mandatory for all of our employees to abide by these safety rules. We have implemented a number of safety measures and established a safety supervision team that is responsible for formulation and implementation of such safety measures. Our work place safety training program for our employees covers operation of new equipment, as well as each stage of the manufacturing process. Since 2003, we have maintained an occupational health and safety management system certificate from Beijing Century Certification Co., Ltd. (北京新世紀認證有限公司), certifying that our occupational health and safety management system is in conformity with the GB/T 28001-2001 standard.

BUSINESS

In order to comply with the relevant PRC laws and regulations, we participate in various defined retirement contribution plans (including pension insurance, medical insurance, unemployment insurance, personal injury insurance and housing provident fund) organized by the PRC provincial and municipal governments for our employees. Prior to February 2011, neither LBXX Fujian nor LBXX Sichuan registered with the relevant authorities, maintained designated accounts, or made any contributions to the housing provident fund. On February 28, 2011 and March 7, 2011, we obtained confirmation letters from Jinjiang Management Department of the Quanzhou City Housing Provident Fund Management Center (泉 州市住房公積金管理中心晉江市管理部) and Pujiang Management Department of the Chengdu City Housing Provident Fund Management Center (成都市住房公積金管理中心蒲江縣管理部), respectively, regarding the unpaid housing provident fund contributions prior to February 2011. According to the confirmation letters, the housing provident fund management centers have decided not to impose any financial penalties or other forms of administrative penalties on LBXX Fujian and LBXX Sichuan, or require LBXX Fujian and LBXX Sichuan to make good any overdue contributions. Since February 2011, LBXX Fujian and LBXX Sichuan have registered with the relevant housing provident fund management centers, maintained accounts with designated banks and made contributions to the relevant housing provident funds as required under the contribution plans.

Except for this non-compliance of the housing provident fund, we believe that we were in compliance with the relevant social welfare laws and regulations in all material respects during the Track Record Period and up to the Latest Practicable Date. We also maintain insurance coverage for our employees for any accidents at our production facilities. Our human resources personnel look after our labor, health and safety issues. They generally have sound knowledge of administration and human resources issues, and they endeavor to keep abreast of the latest legal developments in this area and to ensure that we are in compliance with the relevant requirements.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS AND COMPLIANCE

In September and October 2009, some local governmental authorities in the PRC determined that certain of our product packaging did not adhere to the new food labeling laws, which became effective on June 1, 2009. We promptly reviewed and improved our packaging to bring them into compliance with the new food labeling laws. We wrote off RMB19.3 million in 2009 in relation to the disposal of the non-complying packaging. We have not received any penalty notices from relevant governmental authorities. We have also obtained no-penalty certificates from the relevant local authorities in the PRC in relation to these incidents.

Save as disclosed above, all of our subsidiaries have obtained and currently maintain all necessary permits and licenses required for their production and sales activities, such as their business licenses, food hygiene permits and QS Food Production Permits (食品生產許可證). As of the Latest Practicable Date, we were not aware of any litigation or arbitration proceedings currently existing, pending or threatened against us that could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial position.

According to our PRC legal adviser, Jingtian & Gongcheng, save as disclosed in the document, we have complied in all material respects with all applicable laws, rules and regulations in the PRC during the Track Record Period and as of the Latest Practicable Date.

Preparation of accounts of our Hong Kong subsidiaries

Pursuant to section 122 of the Companies Ordinance, the directors of a company incorporated in Hong Kong are required to cause the profit and loss account and balance sheet of the company to be made up and laid before the company at each of its annual general meetings. Since the incorporation of LBXX Holdings and LBXX Investments, our subsidiaries which were incorporated in Hong Kong on October 8, 2007, their then directors have delegated their secretarial accounting matters to a company secretarial firm associated with a law firm. As confirmed by our Directors, the principal activity of each of LBXX Holdings and LBXX Investments since its respective incorporation is investment holding and it has not carried out any business in Hong Kong since its respective incorporation. In respect of LBXX Holdings, no accounts for each of the two years ended December 31, 2010 (the “LBXX Holdings Accounts”) were prepared and laid before its sole member in a general meeting. In respect of LBXX Investments, no accounts for the period from October 8, 2007 to December 31, 2008 and each of the two years ended December 31, 2010 (the “LBXX Investments Accounts”) were prepared and laid before its sole member in a general meeting.

On November 3, 2011, LBXX Holdings and LBXX Investments applied to the High Court of Hong Kong for an extension of time for laying the LBXX Holdings Accounts and the LBXX Investments Accounts before their respective sole member in a general meeting pursuant to section 122 of the Companies Ordinance. On November 10, 2011, the requested court orders were granted by the High Court of Hong Kong, pursuant to which the period for the laying of the LBXX Holdings Accounts and the LBXX Investments Accounts was extended to December 31, 2011. We will ensure that each of LBXX Holdings and LBXX Investments will lay the LBXX Holdings Accounts and LBXX Investments Accounts, respectively, on or before December 31, 2011 and upon which the aforesaid non-compliance will be fully rectified.

BUSINESS

We enter into individual employment contracts with our employees covering matters such as wages, employee benefits, safety and sanitary conditions at the workplace, confidentiality obligations for commercial secrets, and grounds for termination. These employment contracts generally have a term of three years and are typically renewed upon expiration. To streamline our operational system and reduce administrative burden, we have historically worked with an Independent Third Party employment agency to engage some of our production line workers. Since 2008, our subsidiary, LBXX Tianjin, has employed workers at our Tianjin production facility through such employment agency. We pay a lump sum to the employment agency which in turn pays wages to the workers and makes contributions to the various statutory employee benefits on behalf of these workers. If the employment agency fails to make the necessary contributions as required by PRC law, we would become jointly and severally liable to compensate the affected workers for any loss and damage suffered. We received confirmations from the employment agency in April 2011 that they had made the necessary contributions in compliance with PRC laws and regulations. During the Track Record Period, approximately 15% to 30% of our employees were retained through the employment agency. We may employ temporary contract workers to cope with increases in workload during peak seasons as a result of increased production volume.

All of our full-time employees are paid a fixed salary and may be granted other allowances, based on their position. Sales and marketing staff are also eligible for commissions. In addition, a year-end bonus may also be awarded to our employees, at our discretion and based on the performance and contribution of the individual staff to our company. Performance appraisals are conducted every year to ensure that our employees receive feedback on their performance. For the year ended December 31, 2008, 2009 and 2010 and the five months ended May 31, 2011, we incurred employee costs (including Directors) of RMB56.8 million, RMB63.7 million, RMB73.0 million and RMB35.7 million, respectively.

We also invest in continuing education and training programs for our management staff and other employees to improve their skills and knowledge. We provide our employees with detailed guidelines in relation to our production process and on-the-job training in various areas, such as sanitary requirements, production safety and quality management. We also provide induction programs and team-building training.

Our employees do not negotiate their terms of employment through any labor union or by way of collective bargaining agreements. We believe we have maintained a good working relationship with our employees. As of the Latest Practicable Date, no significant labor disputes occurred which adversely affected or were likely to have an adverse effect on the operations of our business.

PROPERTIES

Our production facilities and warehouse facilities are situated in Jinjiang, Fujian Province, Tianjin Municipality and Chengdu, Sichuan Province.

Land

As of August 31, 2011, we owned 12 parcels of land with a total site area of approximately 516,373.1 square meters, of which four parcels are located in Jinjiang, Fujian Province, three parcels are located in Chengdu, Sichuan Province, and four parcels are located in Tianjin Municipality and a parcel of land located in Chuzhou, Anhui Province. All the parcels of land were for industrial use. As of the Latest Practicable Date, we had obtained the relevant land use rights with respect to all parcels of land.

BUSINESS

We own a parcel of land in Chuzhou, Anhui Province which has a total site area of approximately 133,332 square meters, and commenced construction of our Anhui production facility in August 2011. We plan to start manufacturing primarily jelly snacks and jelly beverages at our Anhui production facility in the first half of 2013.

Buildings

Owner-Occupied Buildings

As of August 31, 2011, we owned several floors in six buildings in Jinjiang, Fujian Province, with a total gross floor area of approximately 73,158.4 square meters for employee dormitory and production purposes. We also owned eight buildings with a total gross floor area of 54,517.4 square meters in Chengdu, Sichuan Province for production purposes, and one building with a total gross floor 41,876 square meters in Tianjin Municipality for our production and warehouse facilities, as well as staff quarters and offices.

As of the Latest Practicable Date, we had not obtained the construction works planning permits (建 設工程規劃許可證) and the construction permits (建築工程施工許可證), nor had we undertaken the completion acceptance inspection procedures with respect to a structure covering a total gross floor area of 410 square meters at our Fujian production facility, the net book value of which was approximately RMB61,000 as of August 31, 2011. We use such structure as the boiler room. Under relevant PRC laws and regulations, owners of buildings without the requisite permits may be subject to administrative penalties including fines of up to RMB18,000, orders to suspend construction if the buildings are under construction, or orders to demolish completed buildings. Based on our communication with the relevant authorities, we were informed that the boiler room structure did not fit within the application criteria for the relevant permits and certificates. Our PRC legal adviser, Jingtian & Gongcheng, shares the same view of the relevant authorities. We plan to demolish the structure before the end of 2011. Since the structure was only constructed to shelter the LBXX Fujian’s boiler, its demolition will not have a material effect on the production process and the Group’s operation. The aggregate value of the structure and the amount of the potential penalties are insignificant, and would not result in a material adverse effect on our business or financial results. In addition, we had not undertaken the necessary completion acceptance inspection procedures with respect to buildings on properties with a total gross floor area of 7,527.3 square meters at our Tianjin production facility as of the Latest Practicable Date. We currently use such buildings as warehouses for storage purposes. Under relevant PRC laws and regulations, we may be subject to administrative penalties such as fines. Once we have passed the necessary completion acceptance procedures, we plan to apply for the building ownership certificates. Except as disclosed above, we had obtained all the building ownership certificates with respect to all our owned buildings as of the Latest Practicable Date.

Buildings Leased Out By Us

As of August 31, 2011, we had leased out buildings with a total gross floor area of approximately 11,535.8 square meters in the PRC to Independent Third Parties, including our OEM partners, for production purpose.

All of our leased properties are reflected in the property valuation report as set out in Appendix IV of this document.

Apart from the business relating to the manufacture of snack food products in China, the associates of Mr. Zheng Yu Long, Mr. Zheng Yu Shuang and Mr. Zheng Yu Huan, and Mr. Li Hung Kong are currently operating other businesses such as the manufacture and sale of super absorbent products, the provision of networking information services, agricultural related business, real estate development, paper packaging and commercial trading (the “Excluded Businesses”).

DELINEATION OF BUSINESSES

Operations of our Group are independent and separate from the Excluded Businesses. The Excluded Businesses were not injected into our Group as our Directors are of the view that such businesses neither form part of our core business nor are in line with our strategy to strengthen our market position in the snack food industry. Our Group is a snack food provider in China with a leading position in the jelly products market. On the other hand, the Excluded Businesses comprise principally the manufacture and sale of super absorbent products, the provision of networking information services, agricultural related business, real estate development, paper packaging and commercial trading.

Given the different nature of our business and the Excluded Businesses, our Directors do not expect there to be any overlap or competition of the Excluded Businesses and our Group’s business after the [●].

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial information together with the accompanying notes. Please see the Accountant’s Report in Appendix I to this document. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Accordingly, you should not place undue reliance on any such statements. Our future results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including those set forth under the section headed “Risk Factors” in this document.

OVERVIEW

We are a snack food provider in China with a leading position in the jelly products market. According to Euromonitor, we were the second largest manufacturer of jelly products in China with a market share

of 10.3% in 2010 in terms of retail sales value. We market our products under our core brand, “ ” (“Labixiaoxin”) as well as other sub-brands. Our “Labixiaoxin” brand is a well-recognized snack food brand in China and was recognized as a “China Well-Known Trademark” (中國馳名商標) by the SAIC in 2007. We offer a broad range of quality snack food products. Our main products are jelly products, which comprise jelly snacks and jelly beverages. We also market and sell confectionary products, which primarily include lollipops, milk candies, gummy candies and chocolates. Our other products primarily comprise powdered milk tea. For the year ended December 31, 2010, sales from our jelly products, confectionary products and other products accounted for 83.3%, 11.4% and 5.3% of our sales, respectively.

Over the last 10 years, we have established an extensive distribution network. As of October 31, 2011, we worked with over 190 independent wholesale distributors, covering 31 provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions in China, which on-sell our products to secondary distributors and retailers. We have also established good business relationships with a number of large and well-known retailers in China, which we consider to be our key account customers. Over 90% of our sales during the Track Record Period was generated domestically through our established nationwide distribution network, while the remainder was generated from export sales through our export agents. To facilitate our nationwide sales, we have established three major production facilities located in strategic areas, namely Jinjiang, Fujian Province, Tianjin Municipality and Chengdu, Sichuan Province, giving us convenient access to major markets in different regions in China. We have commenced the construction of our fourth production facility in Chuzhou, Anhui Province. We manufacture all of our jelly products and powdered milk tea and outsource the manufacture of confectionary products and the remainder of other products to third parties through OEM arrangements.

We are committed to high standards of quality in all our products and follow stringent quality control procedures throughout our production processes. We obtained QS Food Production Permits (食品生產許 可證) for all our production facilities and ISO 9001 and HACCP certifications for our Fujian and Tianjin production facilities. We believe we have strong research and product development capabilities. We adjust our product offerings and introduce new and improved products in response to changing consumer preferences and demand. We believe our product development capabilities will help to strengthen our competitiveness through product differentiation and innovation.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

We believe that we are well positioned to benefit from the rapid economic growth of China. From 2003 to 2010, China’s real GDP grew at a CAGR of 11.0%, and the level of per capita disposable income in the PRC increased significantly, with a CAGR of 12.3% and 12.3% from 2003 to 2010 for urban and rural residents, respectively. We expect such historical trends will sustain in the near future, and believe consumer spending on snack food will also increase. According to Euromonitor, the estimated retail sales value of jelly products and confectionary products represented 7.5% and 51.5% of the snack food market in China in 2010, respectively, and the retail sales value of jelly products and confectionary products are expected to increase with a CAGR of 14.2% and 7.4% from 2010 to 2013, respectively.

Our sales grew from RMB721.1 million in 2008 to RMB771.4 million in 2009 and RMB931.7 million in 2010 and, our share of the total jelly products retail sales value in China grew steadily from 9.0% in 2008 to 9.6% in 2009 and 10.3% in 2010 according to Euromonitor. Our profit for the year was RMB68.6 million, RMB53.5 million and RMB147.8 million in 2008, 2009 and 2010 respectively. Our sales grew by 46.6% from RMB414.4 million for the five months ended May 31, 2010 to RMB607.4 million for the five months ended May 31, 2011.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Our Company was incorporated in Bermuda as a company with limited liability on May 4, 2004. Our Group was formed on March 28, 2005 pursuant to a group restructuring exercise. As part of the group restructuring exercise, our Company became the holding company of our various subsidiaries. For more details, please see “History and Corporate Structure.”

The subsidiaries acquired pursuant to the group restructuring exercise under common control have been consolidated using the pooling-of-interest method.

Our consolidated financial information has been prepared in accordance with IFRS issued by the IASB. Our consolidated financial information has been prepared under the historical cost convention and is presented in Renminbi unless otherwise indicated.

Our consolidated financial information as of and for the year ended December 31, 2008, 2009 and 2010 and the five months ended May 31, 2011 was audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers, Certified Public Accountants, Hong Kong.

FACTORS AFFECTING OUR RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Our business, results of operations and financial condition and prospects have been, and will continue to be, affected by a number of factors, many of which are beyond our control, including:

China’s General Economic Conditions and Spending on Snack Food

Our sales volume and results of operations are influenced by consumer spending on snack food in China, which is largely dependent on the continued growth of China’s economy. During periods of slow economic growth or recession, consumers may reduce their spending on snack food, thereby reducing demand for, and sales of, our products. In recent years, we have benefited from the steady growth of China’s economy, which has led to rapid urbanization and a rise in the affluence of the urban population in China. Disposable income levels and purchasing power of both urban and rural households have

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

increased with the growth of China’s economy. For more information, please see “Industry Overview.” We expect that the increased purchasing power of consumers in China will promote their spending on snack food, including our products, and that the demand for such products in China will continue to grow in the near future and serve as a key driver for our sales volume growth. However, if there is any economic slowdown in China, consumer spending on snack food may be negatively impacted, which could in turn have a material adverse effect on our results of operations. Please see “Risk Factors – Risks Relating to the Food and Beverage Industry in China – The food and beverage industry in China is significantly impacted by fluctuations in the global economy and financial markets.”

Pricing of Our Products

We price our products based on a combination of different factors, primarily our ability to differentiate our products from those of our competitors and the extent of market competition. Historically, we have generally maintained our sales prices at desired levels by regularly introducing new or improved products. From time to time, we were able to increase the selling prices of some of our products due to our enhanced brand recognition and market position. Our ability to continue to price our products at desired levels has been, and will continue to be, important to our results of operations and financial performance.

The pricing of our products is affected by the competitive landscape of the snack food industry in China. We face competition from domestic and international manufacturers producing jelly products as well as other snack products. Our competitors may have substantially greater financial resources, stronger distribution capabilities or greater brand recognition than we do. We expect that the competition we face in the snack food industry will further intensify. As a result, our ability to maintain or increase the average selling price of our products will largely depend on our ability to compete effectively by reacting rapidly to market trends and differentiating ourselves through our strong brand recognition, product innovation, nationwide sales and distribution network and extensive product portfolio. Inability to sustain our competitive advantage could adversely affect our pricing and results of operations.

Branding and Promotion of Our Products

Our results of operations and financial position have been, and will continue to be, affected by our ability to maintain and enhance brand recognition and popularity of our products. We market our products under our core brand, “ ” (“Labixiaoxin”), as well as other sub-brands. Our “Labixiaoxin” brand in particular has received significant recognition. Please see “Business – Sales and Marketing – Branding.” We believe our core brand “Labixiaoxin” is a well-recognized brand in the snack food market in China, thereby promoting sales and serving as a competitive advantage.

In order to further strengthen the image and market awareness of our core brand, we plan to increase advertising and promotional activities. We plan to increase our prime time television advertising on national and regional satellite television networks, and [●] certain popular television programs, local sports activities and festive events. From time to time, we may also engage celebrities as our product spokespersons to promote our products. We plan to regularly undertake in-store product promotion campaigns to encourage sales. In addition, we plan to continue to participate in industry and trade shows to enhance our brand and product recognition in the snack food industry in China and attract new buyers. Advertising and promotion activities have contributed to our strong branding, which we believe has been,

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

and will continue to be, a factor driving our results of operation. Our advertising and promotion expenses represented 9.9%, 10.6%, 8.3% and 7.3% of our sales for the year ended December 31, 2008, 2009 and 2010 and for the five months ended May 31, 2011, respectively. Our advertising and promotion expenses are likely to increase as our business scale expands. While advertising and promotional expenditures may affect our profitability, we consider such expenditures a necessary investment for a sustainable and profitable business.

Consumer Perception and Confidence

Demand for our products is also influenced by consumer perceptions of the safety and quality of our products. Media coverage regarding the safety or quality of food and beverages, or the raw materials and additives used or processes involved in their manufacture, may influence consumer confidence in these products. For example, in September 2008, a significant amount of milk and infant formula in China was found to be contaminated with melamine, which affected hundreds of thousands of consumers, and caused the deaths of several infants and illness in thousands of young children. This incident resulted in large-scale dairy product recalls and the closure of one of China’s largest dairy products manufacturers, which resulted in reduced consumer confidence in dairy and dairy-related products in general.

Although some of our confectionary products contain dairy content, none of our confectionary products were contaminated with melamine. Nevertheless, the demand for and sales volume of these products were adversely affected as a result of the reduced consumer confidence, leading to a decrease in sales of our confectionary products by 31.3% from 2008 to 2009 after the outbreak of the melamine scandal. Moreover, in May 2011, governmental authorities in Taiwan determined that certain local suppliers had been illegally using certain types of plasticizers as additives in their raw materials, which were used to manufacture a variety of processed food and beverage products, including snack food products. Although our food products do not contain such plasticizers, contamination or food safety incidents similar to the melamine or the plasticizer incident could affect consumer perception of the safety and quality of food and beverages, including our products, which could in turn materially and adversely harm our business, results of operations and financial position. Please also see “Risk Factors – Risks Relating to Our Business – We may be adversely impacted by any negative publicity suffered by the food and beverage industry in China or abroad.” However, the sales of our confectionary products picked up significantly in 2010 to pre-melamine scandal level due to improved market conditions and our strong product quality control.

Access to Distribution Channels

Our results of operations are affected by our access to distribution channels and the coverage of our distribution network. The market penetration of our products depends on the number and scale of the wholesale distributors with which we work.

As of October 31, 2011, we had established an extensive nationwide sales and distribution network with over 190 independent wholesale distributors located throughout China covering 31 provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions in China, which allows us to reach end consumers nationwide. Maintaining and developing our distribution channels require time, managerial and financial resources, but, based on our proven track record of success, we believe such efforts are an investment in future sales and profitability growth. We actively manage our distribution network with our sales and marketing representatives assigned to service each wholesale distributor across the country, with a view to enhance

– 132 –

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

our strong working relationships with our wholesale distributors. Our ability to maintain our existing distribution network and engage additional wholesale distributors to sell our products as our business grows will have a direct impact on our sales volume and hence our results of operations.

Product Mix

We currently offer an extensive variety of products in three broad segments, namely jelly products, confectionary products and other products. We believe our diverse product offerings enable us to capitalize on changing market trends and consumer preferences in China. Different products have different gross profit margins depending on factors such as raw material costs, production costs, product pricing and our marketing and branding strategy. As a result, our overall gross margin will vary depending on product mix across segments.

Our sales composition, margins and profit level have varied and may continue to vary as our product mix evolves. Our ability to expand our product offerings and the diversity of our product mix will have a significant impact on our results of operations and our competitiveness in the snack food industry in China. We intend to continue to optimize our product portfolio in response to the changes in market conditions and consumer preferences to maximize our sales and profits.

Cost of Raw Materials

Our raw materials primarily comprise packaging materials, sugar, canned fruit, jelly powder and other additives. Raw materials accounted for 89.6%, 81.6%, 84.4% and 83.6%, respectively, of our cost of sales during the year ended December 31, 2008, 2009 and 2010 and for the five months ended May 31, 2011. All of the raw materials we procure, including packaging materials, are purchased from domestic suppliers to ensure adequate supply and efficient delivery to our production facilities. We also manufacture some plastic jelly containers for internal use to minimize the costs of packaging materials used for our products.

The price of raw materials, including packaging materials, are determined principally by market forces such as commodity price fluctuations and changes in governmental policies, as well as our bargaining power vis-a-vis suppliers. During the Track Record Period, we generally experienced rising raw material costs, consistent with the increase in the production price index in China, except for the period following the global financial crisis in the fourth quarter of 2008, when raw materials prices were markedly lower.

As we increase our production in accordance with our expansion plans, we expect that our demand for raw materials will increase. We expect that the prices of our raw materials will continue to fluctuate and be affected by inflation in the near future. We have been able to maintain our production costs at a competitive level by using more economical substitutes to offset the effects of rising prices in certain raw materials while ensuring our product quality. However, we cannot assure you that we will continue to be able to find suitable substitutes at acceptable prices, and any significant increase in raw materials prices could adversely impact our business and results of operations. Please also see “Risk Factors – Risks Relating to Our Business – We are susceptible to fluctuations in raw materials prices.”

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Seasonality

Sales for different products are also subject to different seasonal fluctuations. Historically, we have experienced higher sales of our jelly and confectionary products during the traditional Chinese festival and holiday seasons, such as the Chinese New Year, which is typically in the first quarter of our financial year. Seasonal variations may cause fluctuations in our interim sales and profits. As a result, our results of operations fluctuate and our interim results may not proportionately reflect our annual results.

Taxation

Our profitability may be affected by changes in tax rates, particularly PRC enterprise income tax rates applicable to some of our PRC subsidiaries. PRC companies are subject to the new national enterprise income tax rate of 25% unless the company qualifies under certain limited exceptions pursuant to the new PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law adopted by the National People’s Congress in March 2007 and its implementation rules, effective from January 1, 2008. There are preferential income tax treatments available to eligible companies pursuant to relevant national or local regulations. For example, our PRC subsidiary LBXX Fujian was designated an NHTE in October 2009 and has thus enjoyed a preferential income tax rate of 15% since 2010. LBXX Fujian’s status as an NHTE is subject to review and renewal every three years. We intend to apply for such renewal in 2012. If LBXX Fujian fails to retain its status as an NHTE, it will be subject to the regular PRC enterprise income tax rate of 25%. Under the NHTE Notice, in order to be designated an NHTE, a company must meet a number of criteria, including being engaged in a business which the government considers to involve advanced technologies, having proprietary rights over the know-how or techniques involved in the manufacture of products, having a prescribed minimum ratio of personnel with college or higher degrees to the total number of employees, having a ratio of research and development personnel to total employees of more than 10% and spending on research and development related activities of not less than a prescribed minimum amount.

Under the Notice for Approval of Income Tax Reduction and Exemption (減免稅審批通知書) issued by the Tianjin Municipality Tax Bureau, our PRC subsidiary LBXX Tianjin, a foreign-invested enterprise, was granted full exemption from PRC income tax for two years from its first profit-making year of operation and enjoyed a 50% reduction in income tax rate for the following three years. The first profit-making year for LBXX Tianjin was 2008. Accordingly, LBXX Tianjin enjoyed an applicable tax rate of nil, nil, 12.5% and 12.5% during the year ended December 31, 2008, 2009 and 2010 and the five months ended May 31, 2011, respectively. Such preferential tax treatment is expected to expire in 2012 after which LBXX Tianjin will be subject to the regular PRC enterprise income tax rate of 25%.

We enjoyed tax concessions amounting to RMB9.9 million, RMB0.4 million, RMB21.6 million and RMB12.8 million, respectively, in the year ended December 31, 2008, 2009 and 2010 and for the five months ended May 31, 2011. Termination of, or changes in, our subsidiaries’ preferential or applicable tax rate that may result from changes in China’s tax policy, will impact on our level of profit after taxation which in turn will affect our results of operations and financial position.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial information in conformity with IFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting policies and estimates. The methods, estimates and judgments that we use in applying our accounting policies may have a significant impact on our results as reported in our consolidated financial information included elsewhere in this document. Some of the accounting policies require us to make significant and subjective judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates of matters that are inherently uncertain. Below is a summary of the accounting policies and estimates that we believe are both important to the presentation of our financial results and involve the need to make estimates and judgments about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. In each case, the determination of these items requires management judgments based on information and financial data that may change in future periods. When reviewing our consolidated financial information, you should consider (i) our selection of critical accounting policies; (ii) the judgment and other uncertainties affecting the application of such policies; and (iii) the sensitivity of reported results to changes in conditions and assumptions. We also have other accounting policies, estimates and judgments that we consider to be less significant which are set forth in detail in Notes 3 and 5 to the Accountant’s Report set out in Appendix I to this document.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue comprises the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for the sale of goods in the ordinary course of our activities. Revenue is shown net of value-added tax, rebates, discounts and sales returns and after eliminating sales within our Group.

We recognize revenue when the amount of revenue can be reliably measured, it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the entity and when specific criteria have been met for each of the Group’s activities as described below.

Sale of goods

Revenue from sale of goods is recognized when the risk and reward of the goods has been transferred to the customer, which is usually at the date when we have delivered products to the customer, the customer has accepted the products, and there is no unfulfilled obligation that could affect the customer’s acceptance of the products.

It is the Group’s policy to sell its products to the customers with a right to return due to quality issues caused by the Group. Accumulated experience is used to estimate and provide for such returns at the time of sale.

Interest income

Interest income is recognized on a time proportion basis using the effective interest method.

Rental income

Rental income under operating leases (net of any incentives given to the lessees) is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease periods.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment is stated at historical cost less depreciation and impairment losses. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items.

Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognized. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the statement of comprehensive income during the financial period in which they are incurred.

Depreciation on property, plant and equipment is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate their costs to their residual values over their estimated useful lives, as follows:

Useful lives
Buildings . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 20 years
Leasehold improvements . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 5 years
Plant and equipment . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 5-10 years
Motor vehicles . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 5 years

Construction in progress represents costs incurred in the construction of property, plant and equipment and other tangible assets. Costs comprise direct and indirect costs of construction, including borrowing costs incurred during the period of construction.

Construction in progress is transferred to property, plant and equipment when it is ready for its intended use. No provision for depreciation is made on construction in progress until such time as the relevant assets are completed and are ready for its intended use. When the assets concerned are brought to use, the costs are transferred to property, plant and equipment and depreciated in accordance with the policy as stated above.

The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period.

An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount.

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognized in the statement of comprehensive income.

Land Use Rights

Land use rights are stated at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Cost represents consideration paid for the rights to use the land on which various plants and buildings are situated for a period of 50 years. Amortization of land use rights is calculated on a straight-line basis over the period of leases.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Impairment of Interests in Associated Company and Jointly Controlled Entity

Assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The provision for impairment of interests in associated company and jointly controlled entity is determined using the higher of fair value less cost to sell or the value in use of individual cash-generating unit. The fair value less cost to sell method requires the entity to estimate the fair value of the cash-generating unit, which has been prepared on the basis of management’s assumptions and estimates by referring to sales contracts in an arms’ length transaction. If there is a significant adverse change in the estimated fair value of the cash-generating unit, it may be necessary to take an impairment charge to the statement of comprehensive income.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is determined on a weighted average cost basis. The cost of finished goods and work-in-progress comprises raw materials, direct labor, other direct costs and related production overheads (based on normal operating capacity). It excludes borrowing costs. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less applicable variable selling expenses.

Current and Deferred Income Tax

We are subject to income taxes in the PRC. The tax expense for the period comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognized in the statement of comprehensive income, except to the extent that it relates to items recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case the tax is also recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.

The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date in the countries where our subsidiaries, associated company and jointly controlled entity operate and generate taxable income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the relevant tax authorities.

There are certain transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain during the ordinary course of business. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such differences will impact the income tax and deferred tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made. Deferred income tax is recognized, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. Deferred income tax assets relating to certain temporary differences and tax losses are recognized when management considers it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the temporary differences or tax losses can be utilized. When the expectation is different from the original estimate, such differences will impact the recognition of deferred income tax assets and taxation charges in the period in which such estimate is changed. However, the deferred income tax is not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or a liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realized or the deferred income tax liability is settled.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Deferred income tax is provided on temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries, associated company and jointly controlled entity except for deferred income tax liability where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference is controlled by us and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Trade Receivables

Trade receivables are amounts due from customers for merchandise sold in the ordinary course of business. If collection of trade receivables is expected in one year or less (or in the normal operating cycle of the business if longer), they are classified as current assets. If not, they are presented as non-current assets.

Trade receivables are recognized initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment.

CERTAIN STATEMENT OF COMPREHENSIVE INCOME ITEMS

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Our sales of jelly products grew to RMB669.6 million in 2009 from RMB595.6 million in 2008, which was primarily due to the increase in our jelly beverages sales to RMB183.3 million in 2009 from RMB121.4 million in 2008. Our sales of jelly products further grew to RMB775.8 million in 2010 from RMB669.6 million in 2009, which was also primarily due to the increase in our jelly beverages sales to RMB245.6 million in 2010 from RMB183.3 million in 2009. Such growth continued in the five months ended May 31, 2011, during which period our sales of jelly products and jelly beverages grew to RMB503.3 million and RMB173.2 million, respectively, from RMB356.8 million and RMB98.6 million for the five months ended May 31, 2010, respectively. Our sales of other products also grew from RMB18.5 million in 2008 to RMB28.2 million in 2009 and then to RMB49.8 million in 2010. Sales of our other products for the five months ended May 31, 2011 amounted to RMB42.0 million, due in part to the launch of our dried bean curd products and baked products.

We sold 70,453 tons, 68,040 tons, 72,872 tons and 42,391 tons of jelly snacks in the year ended December 31, 2008, 2009 and 2010 and for the five months ended May 31, 2011, respectively, and we sold 20,187 tons, 33,443 tons, 44,119 tons and 27,218 tons of jelly beverages in the same periods, respectively. In addition, we sold 6,587 tons, 5,037 tons, 7,669 tons and 3,453 tons of confectionary products in the year ended December 31, 2008, 2009 and 2010 and for the five months ended May 31, 2011, respectively, and we sold 1,016 tons, 1,329 tons, 2,153 tons and 2,032 tons of other products in the same periods, respectively. The average selling prices of our jelly products remained relatively stable from 2008 to 2010, amounting to RMB6,571.3 per ton in 2008, RMB6,598.2 per ton in 2009 and RMB6,631.4 per ton in 2010. Due primarily to increases in raw materials prices and the beginning of our engagement with key account agents and the beginning of our initial direct sales efforts to key account customers in 2011, the average selling prices of our jelly products increased to RMB7,230.8 per ton for the five months ended May 31, 2011. We are able to raise our average selling prices in direct sales because (i) we can eliminate the revenue which distributors would otherwise be entitled to had our products been distributed through them, and (ii) we are in a position to sell to our key account customers at higher prices. With respect to our sales to key account agents, we allocate additional time and resources to a series of direct negotiations with our key account customers including the terms of sales and a range of recommended retail prices, and location and size of our shelves in the stores. We also help our key account agents to sell our products through on-site decoration, promotion campaign, and providing training to our key account agents’ product promoters. In addition, we typically grant our key account agents a longer credit terms of 90 days which is in line with the credit term offered by the key account customers. By having such arrangements under which we fulfill a number of functions that are traditionally handled by wholesale distributors, we are in a position to sell our products at higher prices to our key account agents, compared to the prices we usually sell to our wholesale distributors. The average selling prices of our confectionary products decreased from RMB16,244.9 per ton in 2008 to RMB14,604.5 per ton in 2009 and to RMB13,836.9 per ton in 2010, primarily due to our introduction of certain confectionary products with lower average selling prices in 2009 and 2010. The average selling prices of our confectionary products increased to RMB17,992.2 per ton for the five months ended May 31, 2011, primarily due to the beginning of our engagement with key account agents and the beginning of our initial direct sales efforts to key account customers in 2011. We believe that because our other products include different products such as powdered milk tea, dried bean curd products and baked products, a generalized average selling prices of such other products may not accurately reflect how they affected our sales during the Track Record Period.

certain additional information such as the general names of the food additives under the national standards and the contact information of the manufacturer. We cannot assure you that the PRC government will not introduce new or more stringent legal requirements on food and beverage products in the future. Any non-compliance with these requirements could cause a disruption in our operations and lead to potential liability, including imposition of fines, confiscation of proceeds from the sales of food products without proper labeling as well as revocation of food production permits in serious cases. The occurrence of any of these may adversely affect our business and results of operations. Please see “Risk Factors – Risks Relating to the Food and Beverage Industry in China – Changes in the existing food safety laws may affect our business operations.”

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Share of loss of an associated company and impairment of investment in an associated company

Share of loss of an associated company represents loss after taxation that is attributable to us as a result of our investment in an associated company, Super Lifestyle Food, in which we held a 32% equity interest during the Track Record Period. We co-invested in Super Lifestyle Food with Super Coffeemix Manufacturing Limited, an Independent Third Party which held a 50% interest and Chance Cove Group Limited, a company wholly owned by Mr. Zheng Yu Long which held an 18% interest, in 2006 with an aim to manufacturing potato chips for sale in China. As of December 31, 2009, we had made total investment and shareholder loans to the associated company amounting to RMB8.9 million. In 2010, we agreed with our co-investors to cease all business operations of Super Lifestyle Food because the business was making a loss and the business venture no longer appeared to be commercially viable. We are currently working with our co-investors to have the associated company deregistered. As of May 31, 2011, the investment in, and the shareholder loans to, the associated company had been fully provided for.

Share of loss of a jointly controlled entity and impairment of investment in a jointly controlled entity

Share of loss of a jointly controlled entity represents our loss after taxation that is attributable to us as a result of our investment in a jointly controlled entity, Coco Foods. We invested in Coco Foods in May 2007 with Cocoaland Industry Sdn. Bhd, an Independent Third Party, and each held 50% of the equity interest. Coco Foods primarily produced gummy candies. With the view that the jointly controlled entity was incurring losses and its profitability was not expected to significantly improve in the foreseeable future, we recognized an impairment allowance of RMB5.0 million in 2008. In June 2010, we reached an agreement to sell Coco Foods to an Independent Third Party because our joint venture partner decided to pull out of Coco Foods. The purchaser of Coco Foods has since become our OEM partner responsible for manufacturing gummy candies for us.

Income tax expense

Income tax expense primarily consists of income tax payable by our subsidiaries in the PRC. During the Track Record Period, we did not have any assessable income in Bermuda, the BVI and Hong Kong.

Five months ended May 31, 2011 compared to five months ended May 31, 2010

Sales . Our sales increased by 46.6% to RMB607.4 million for the five months ended May 31, 2011 from RMB414.4 million for the five months ended May 31, 2010, primarily attributable to (i) an increase in sales volume from all of our product segments, (ii) a general increase in the average selling prices of some of our products due to increasing raw materials prices, and (iii) an increase in average selling prices due to the beginning of our engagement with key account agents and the beginning of our initial direct sales efforts to key account customers in 2011. For more details, please see “Business – Sales and Marketing – Key account customers and other retailers.”

  • Jelly products – Sales of jelly products increased by 41.1% to RMB503.3 million for the five months ended May 31, 2011 from RMB356.8 million for the five months ended May 31, 2010, primarily attributable to an increase in the average selling prices of our jelly products, which was in turn primarily due to an increase in raw materials prices, and an increase of sales of our jelly beverage products. The sales of our jelly beverage products increased by 75.7% to RMB173.2 million for the five months ended May 31, 2011 from RMB98.6 million for the five months ended May 31, 2010. Such increase was primarily due to (i) our concentrated sales and marketing efforts to promote certain types of our jelly products, and (ii) the expansion of our distribution network and an increase in the number of retail outlets that carried our jelly beverages products, as evidenced in the increase of our key account customers’ retail outlets, from approximately 760 as of May 31, 2010 to over 1,100 retail outlets as of May 31, 2011, and the trend of an increase in the number of our wholesale distributors during the Track Record Period.

  • Confectionary products – Sales of confectionary products increased by 54.9% to RMB62.1 million for the five months ended May 31, 2011 from RMB40.1 million for the five months ended May 31, 2010. The increase was primarily due to an increase in market demand for our confectionary products, especially during the Chinese New Year holiday period in 2011, and the increase in average selling prices of our confectionary products.

  • Other products – Sales of other products increased by 139.1% to RMB42.0 million for the five months ended May 31, 2011 from RMB17.6 million for the five months ended May 31, 2010. The increase was primarily due to (i) an increase in sales of our powdered milk tea by 59.0% to RMB27.9 million for the five months ended May 31, 2011 from RMB17.6 million for the five months ended May 31, 2010, and (ii) the introduction of our dried bean curd products and baked products in 2011.

Cost of sales . Our cost of sales increased by 37.3% to RMB360.1 million for the five months ended May 31, 2011 from RMB262.3 million for the five months ended May 31, 2010. The increase was primarily due to our increased sales volume.

  • Jelly products – The cost of sales for our jelly products increased by 33.1% to RMB294.1 million for the five months ended May 31, 2011 from RMB221.0 million for the five months ended May 31, 2010, which was primarily due to the increase in sales for our jelly snacks and jelly beverages and the increase in raw materials prices.

  • Confectionary products – The cost of sales for our jelly products increased by 32.9% to RMB36.5 million for the five months ended May 31, 2011 from RMB27.5 million for the five months ended May 31, 2010, which was primarily due to the increase in sales for our confectionary products and the increase in raw materials prices.

  • Other products – The cost of sales for our other products increased by 114.7% to RMB29.5 million for the five months ended May 31, 2011 from RMB13.7 million for the five months ended May 31, 2010, primarily due to an increase in sales of our other products, and the introduction of our dried bean curd products and baked products.

Gross profit and gross profit margin . Our gross profit increased by 62.5% to RMB247.3 million for the five months ended May 31, 2011 from RMB152.2 million for the five months ended May 31, 2010. Our gross profit margin increased to 40.7% for the five months ended May 31, 2011 from 36.7% for the five months ended May 31, 2010. Such increase was primarily due to the beginning of our engagement with our key account agents and the beginning of our initial direct sales efforts to our key account customers in 2011, by which we are able to sell our products to them at higher prices, compared to the prices at which we sell our products to our wholesale distributors. For more details, please see “Business – Sales and Marketing – Key account customers and other retailers.” As a result, the gross profit margin from our sales to key account agents and key account customers reached 54.5% for the five months ended May 31, 2011, as compared to the gross profit margin of 38.3% from our sales to wholesale distributors generally in the same period, thus contributing to our overall increase in gross profit margin in the same period.

  • Jelly products – Gross profit from our jelly products increased by 54.2% to RMB209.2 million for the five months ended May 31, 2011 from RMB135.7 million for the five months ended May 31, 2010. Gross profit margin for our jelly products increased to 41.6% for the five months ended May 31, 2011 from 38.0% for the five months ended May 31, 2010, primarily due to our sales to key account agents and key account customers, and an increase in the average selling prices of our jelly products to wholesale distributors by a margin greater than the increase in raw materials prices that were used in such products.

  • Confectionary products – Gross profit from our confectionary products increased by 102.9% to RMB25.6 million for the five months ended May 31, 2011 from RMB12.6 million for the five months ended May 31, 2010. Gross profit margin for our confectionary products increased to 41.2% for the five months ended May 31, 2011 from 31.5% for the five months ended May 31, 2010, primarily due to our sales to key account agents and key account customers which carried a higher gross margin, and an increase in the average selling prices of our confectionary products.

  • Other products – Gross profit from our other products increased by 226.3% to RMB12.5 million for the five months ended May 31, 2011 from RMB3.8 million for the five months ended May 31, 2010. Gross profit margin for our other products increased to 29.8% for the five months ended May 31, 2011 from 21.8% for the five months ended May 31, 2010, primarily due to our sales to key account agents and key account customers which carried a higher gross margin. In addition, we also began selling dried bean curd products and baked products in 2011, both had a higher gross profit margin than that of powdered milk tea.

Other income . Our other income decreased by 11.8% to approximately RMB0.5 million for the five months ended May 31, 2011 from RMB0.6 million for the five months ended May 31, 2010, primarily due to a decrease in rental income, which was attributable to the lower monthly rents we charged.

Selling and distribution expenses . Our selling and distribution expenses increased by 22.1% to RMB76.4 million for the five months ended May 31, 2011 from RMB62.6 million for the five months ended May 31, 2010, primarily due to an increase in our advertising and promotion expenses and an increase in freight and transportation expenses.

Administrative expenses . Our administrative expenses increased by 51.8% to RMB23.8 million for the five months ended May 31, 2011 from RMB15.7 million for the five months ended May 31, 2010, primarily due to (i) an increase in depreciation of property, plant and equipment, which was primarily due to depreciation attributable to the office buildings located at our Sichuan production facility, which commenced operations in July 2010, and (ii) an increase in fees and expenses associated with the preparation for the [●].

Other (losses)/gains, net . Our other losses amounted to RMB0.5 million for the five months ended May 31, 2011, compared to our other gains amounting to RMB0.7 million for the five months ended May 31, 2010. Our other losses for the five months ended May 31, 2011 were primarily attributable to exchange losses in connection with our Hong Kong dollar-denominated Pre-[●] Investment net proceeds, as the Hong Kong dollar weakened against the Renminbi. Our other gains for the five months ended May 31, 2010 were primarily due to gains from sales of excess raw and scrap materials used in our production process, such as plastic jelly cups, paper, cardboard and other packaging materials.

Finance costs . Our finance costs increased by 139.3% to RMB3.3 million for the five months ended May 31, 2011 from RMB1.4 million for the five months ended May 31, 2010, primarily attributable to an increase in both bank borrowings and the effective interest rates of such borrowings.

Provision for impairment of investment in, and loans to, an associated company. Our provision for impairment of investment in, and loans to, an associated company decreased to nil for the five months ended May 31, 2011 from RMB1.8 million for the five months ended May 31, 2010, because our associated company, Super Lifestyle Food, ceased business operations in 2010.

Share of loss of a jointly controlled entity. Our share of loss of a jointly controlled entity decreased to nil for the five months ended May 31, 2011 from RMB0.4 million for the five months ended May 31, 2010, because in June 2010 we disposed of our interests in our jointly controlled entity, Coco Foods.

Income tax expenses. Our income tax expenses increased by 116.7% to RMB28.3 million for the five months ended May 31, 2011 from RMB13.1 million for the five months ended May 31, 2010, primarily due to (i) an increase in our profit before income tax, and (ii) an increase in our effective tax rate to 19.7% for the five months ended May 31, 2011 from 18.2% for the five months ended May 31, 2010, which was primarily because our Sichuan production facility became subject to the regular PRC enterprise income tax rate of 25% as it commenced production in July 2010 and it incurred nil income tax expenses in the five months ended May 31, 2010 before its commencement.

Profit for the period and net profit margin. As a result of the foregoing, our profit for the period increased by 97.2% to RMB115.6 million for the five months ended May 31, 2011 from RMB58.6 million for the five months ended May 31, 2010, and our net profit margin increased to 19.0% for the five months ended May 31, 2011 from 14.1% for the five months ended May 31, 2010.

Year ended December 31, 2010 compared to year ended December 31, 2009

Sales. Our sales increased by 20.8% to RMB931.7 million in 2010 from RMB771.4 million in 2009, primarily attributable to an increase in sales from all our product segments.

  • Jelly products – Sales of jelly products increased by 15.9% to RMB775.8 million in 2010 from RMB669.6 million in 2009, primarily attributable to an increase in sales volume from 101,483

tons in 2009 to 116,991 tons in 2010. The increase in sales volume was primarily driven by an increase in sales volume of jelly beverages by 31.9% in 2010 compared to 2009.

  • Confectionary products – Sales of confectionary products increased by 44.3% to RMB106.1 million in 2010 from RMB73.6 million in 2009, primarily attributable to a recovery in sales volume from 5,037 tons in 2009 to 7,669 tons in 2010, partially offset by a slight drop in the average selling price of confectionary products as a result of the introduction of certain new products in 2010, which had lower selling prices to attract customers from different income groups.

  • Other products – Sales of other products increased by 76.5% to RMB49.8 million in 2010 from RMB28.2 million in 2009, primarily attributable to an increase in sales volume from 1,329 tons in 2009 to 2,153 tons in 2010, and an increase in the average selling price of powdered milk tea. The increase in sales volume and average selling price were primarily attributable to the introduction of our improved powdered milk tea formula in late 2009. In addition, we also launched our dried bean curd products in late 2010.

Cost of sales. Our cost of sales increased by 22.1% to RMB589.7 million in 2010 from RMB482.9 million in 2009, which was generally in line with our increased sales volume. Our cost of sales also increased due to an increase in the market prices of raw materials used in production, such as sugar.

  • Jelly products – The cost of sales of our jelly products increased by 14.6% to RMB477.2 million in 2010 from RMB416.3 million in 2009, primarily due to an increase in our sales volume and an increase in the cost of raw materials used in production, which was in line with general market trends.

  • Confectionary products – The cost of sales of our confectionary products increased by 58.3% to RMB73.6 million in 2010 from RMB46.5 million in 2009, primarily due to an increase in our sales volume and an increase in the purchase price of confectionary products we paid to our OEM partners which was due to a general increase in raw materials prices.

  • Other products – The cost of sales of our other products increased by 93.3% to RMB38.8 million in 2010 from RMB20.1 million in 2009, primarily due to an increase in the costs of raw materials used in producing our powdered milk tea.

Gross profit and gross profit margin. Our gross profit increased by 18.6% to RMB342.0 million in 2010 from RMB288.5 million in 2009. Our gross profit margin decreased slightly to 36.7% in 2010 from 37.4% in 2009, primarily attributable to an increase in the cost of raw materials used in production and changes in product mix. Our gross profit margin in 2009 was negatively affected in part by a one-off inventory write-off in 2009 amounting to RMB19.3 million, which represented approximately 2.5% of our sales for that year.

  • Jelly products – Gross profit from our jelly products increased by 17.9% to RMB298.6 million in 2010 from RMB253.3 million in 2009. The gross profit margin for our jelly products increased to 38.5% in 2010 from 37.8% in 2009, primarily due to the fact that our gross margins in 2009 were negatively affected by the one-off inventory write-off, despite a general increase in raw materials prices in 2010 as compared to those in 2009 as a result of the global economic recovery.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

  • Confectionary products – Gross profit from our confectionary products increased by 20.1% to RMB32.5 million in 2010 from RMB27.0 million in 2009. The gross profit margin for our confectionary products decreased to 30.6% in 2010 from 36.8% in 2009, primarily due to a general increase in raw materials prices in 2010 as compared to those in 2009 as a result of the global economic recovery.

  • Other products – Gross profit from our other products increased by 34.7% to RMB10.9 million in 2010 from RMB8.1 million in 2009. The gross profit margin for our other products decreased to 21.9% in 2010 from 28.7% in 2009, primarily due to a general increase in raw materials prices in 2010 as compared to those in 2009 as a result of the global economic recovery.

Other income. Our other income decreased by 43.1% to RMB1.6 million in 2010 from RMB2.8 million in 2009, primarily attributable to a decrease in rental income in 2010. Our associated company, Super Lifestyle Food, ceased its business operations in mid-2010 and no longer needed to lease its production plant from us. As a result, no rental income was derived from Super Lifestyle Food in 2010.

Selling and distribution expenses. Our selling and distribution expenses increased by 1.2% to RMB134.8 million in 2010 from RMB133.1 million in 2009, primarily attributable to an increase in freight and transportation costs from RMB32.3 million in 2009 to RMB35.7 million in 2010, as a result of increased sales volume of our products.

Administrative expenses. Our administrative expenses decreased by 7.1% to RMB44.9 million in 2010 from RMB48.3 million in 2009, primarily because we incurred no share option amortization costs in 2010 as we cancelled all unexercised and outstanding share options under our employee share option scheme in August 2009. Furthermore, we did not pay any bonus to our Directors in 2010, which contributed to lower administrative expenses.

Other (losses)/gains, net. Our other gains increased by 717.7% to RMB2.3 million in 2010 from RMB0.3 million in 2009, primarily due to a decrease in exchange losses in 2010, which was a result of a decrease in the number of Singapore dollar-denominated transactions in connection with our previous [●] on the SGX-ST, offset by gains on sales of scrap materials. Our Singapore dollar-denominated transactions decreased after we delisted from the SGX-ST in 2010.

Finance costs. Our finance costs increased by 16.7% to RMB3.5 million in 2010 from RMB3.0 million in 2009, primarily due to an increase in both bank borrowings and the effective interest rates of such borrowings.

Share of loss of an associated company. Our share of loss of an associated company was nil in 2010 compared to RMB4.1 million in 2009, because our associated company, Super Lifestyle Food, ceased business operations in 2010.

Provision for impairment of investment in, and loans to, an associated company. Our provision for impairment of investment in, and loans to, an associated company decreased by 75.1% to RMB1.8 million in 2010 from RMB7.1 million in 2009, because our associated company, Super Lifestyle Food, ceased business operations in mid-2010, and our investment in, and shareholder loans to, the associated company were fully provided for as of December 31, 2010.

Share of loss of a jointly controlled entity. Our share of loss of a jointly controlled entity decreased by 73.5% to RMB0.4 million in 2010 from RMB1.6 million in 2009, because we only shared loss of our jointly controlled entity, Coco Foods, for the period before we disposed of it in June 2010.

Income tax expenses. Our income tax expenses decreased by 68.0% to RMB13.0 million in 2010 from RMB40.7 million in 2009, and our effective tax rate decreased to 8.1% in 2010 from 43.2% in 2009. The decrease in income tax expenses and effective tax rate were primarily due to the write-back of an income tax expense provision of RMB21.4 million that we recorded in 2009. Pursuant to Notice No. 59, promulgated by the Ministry of Finance and the State Administration of Taxation issued on April 30, 2009, which became effective retrospectively on January 1, 2008, we determined that LBXX Tianjin, which was under full tax exemption in 2008 and 2009, would be subject to an income tax rate of 25% in 2008 and 2009. Consequently, in 2009 we recorded a provision for the aggregate income tax liability for 2008 and 2009 amounting to RMB21.4 million. In 2010, our Directors sought clarification from the relevant PRC tax authorities on the tax position of LBXX Tianjin, and such PRC tax authorities determined that LBXX Tianjin could continue to enjoy the tax holiday until its expiry in 2012. As such, LBXX Tianjin wrote back the tax provision in 2010.

In addition, there was a reduction in the income tax rate applicable to LBXX Fujian from 25% in 2009 to 15% in 2010 as a result of its designation as an NHTE in 2009, which further contributed to our decrease in income tax expense and effective tax rate.

The above factors were offset by the increase in withholding income tax on dividends paid by our PRC subsidiaries to their non-PRC holding companies which increased by 411.8% to RMB17.2 million in 2010 from RMB3.4 million in 2009. According to the relevant PRC tax laws and regulations, dividends distributed out of profit earned by foreign-invested enterprises in the PRC after January 1, 2008 is subject to PRC corporate withholding income tax at a rate of 5% to 10%. In 2009 and 2010, withholding income tax was provided for our PRC subsidiaries with respect to the dividends distributed and the portion of the retained profits which would be distributed in the foreseeable future at a tax rate of 10%. The increase in the withholding income tax expenses in 2010 was due to the distribution of an interim dividend of RMB76.7 million in 2010, while there was no such dividend distribution in 2009.

Profit for the year and net profit margin. As a result of the foregoing, our profit for the year increased by 176.4% to RMB147.8 million in 2010 from RMB53.5 million in 2009 and our net profit margin increased to 15.9% in 2010 from 6.9% in 2009.

Year ended December 31, 2009 compared to year ended December 31, 2008

Sales. Despite the difficult business environment as a result of the general economic slowdown, our sales increased by 7.0% to RMB771.4 million in 2009 from RMB721.1 million in 2008, primarily attributable to an increase in sales in jelly products and other products, partially offset by a decrease in our sales in confectionary products.

  • Jelly products – Sales of jelly products increased by 12.4% to RMB669.6 million in 2009 from RMB595.6 million in 2008, primarily attributable to an increase in sales volume from 90,640 tons in 2008 to 101,483 tons in 2009 as a result of increased market demand for our jelly products. The increase in sales volume was primarily driven by an increase in sales volume of jelly beverages by 65.7% in 2009 compared to 2008 as a result of increased market demand and the fact that we had placed more focus and resources on promoting our jelly beverages.

  • Confectionary products – Sales of confectionary products decreased by 31.3% to RMB73.6 million in 2009 from RMB107.0 million in 2008, primarily attributable to a decrease in the sales volume of some of our confectionary products containing dairy content, as an indirect result of the melamine scandal that occurred in China in 2008. Although none of our confectionary products contained melamine, the scandal had a severe impact on the dairy industry in general as well as consumer confidence in food products containing dairy content.

  • Other products – Sales of other products increased by 52.3% to RMB28.2 million in 2009 from RMB18.5 million in 2008, primarily attributable to an increase in sales volume and average selling price of our powdered milk tea as a result of the introduction of our “Humor” brand powdered milk tea in late 2009, which was a new product.

Cost of sales. Our cost of sales increased by 10.1% to RMB482.9 million in 2009 from RMB438.4 million in 2008 in line with increased sales. As our sales volume increased, the amount of raw materials used in production also increased, leading to an overall increase in our cost of sales. However, this was partially offset by a decrease in the cost of raw materials and the purchase price of confectionary products we paid to our OEM partners, following the global financial crisis that began in the fourth quarter of 2008.

Gross profit and gross profit margin. Our gross profit increased by 2.0% to RMB288.5 million in 2009 from RMB282.7 million in 2008. Our gross profit margin decreased to 37.4% in 2009 from 39.2% in 2008. Our gross profit margin decreased in 2009 because we had a one-off inventory write-off in 2009 amounting to RMB19.3 million, which represented 2.5% of our sales for that year.

  • Jelly products – Gross profit from our jelly products increased by 1.2% to RMB253.3 million in 2009 from RMB250.3 million in 2008. The gross profit margin for our jelly products decreased to 37.8% in 2009 from 42.0% in 2008, primarily due to the one-off inventory write-off in 2009, despite a general decrease in raw materials prices in 2009 as compared to those in 2008 as a result of the global economic downturn.

  • Confectionary products – Gross profit from our confectionary products decreased by 1.8% to RMB27.0 million in 2009 from RMB27.5 million in 2008. Despite a decrease in the average selling prices of our confectionary products from 2008 to 2009, the gross profit margin for our confectionary products increased to 36.8% in 2009 from 25.7% in 2008, primarily due to a general decrease in raw materials prices in 2009 as compared to those in 2008 by a margin greater than the decrease in average selling prices as a result of the global economic downturn.

  • Other products – Gross profit from our other products increased by 67.8% to RMB8.1 million in 2009 from RMB4.8 million in 2008. The gross profit margin for our other products increased to 28.7% in 2009 from 26.1% in 2008, primarily due to a general decrease in raw materials prices in 2009 as compared to those in 2008 as a result of the global economic downturn.

Other income. Our other income decreased by 20.7% to RMB2.8 million in 2009 from RMB3.5 million in 2008, primarily attributable to a decrease in interest income as a result of a reduction in our bank deposits as we deployed our cash resources for the development of our Sichuan production facility. In addition, our bank deposits accrued interest income at a lower interest rate in 2009.

Selling and distribution expenses. Our selling and distribution expenses increased by 15.9% to RMB133.1 million in 2009 from RMB114.8 million in 2008, primarily attributable to an increase in our

advertising and promotional expenses, which was largely in line with our increased sales. In addition, the cost of transportation also increased in 2009 compared to 2008 as a result of the general oil price hike in 2009 across China caused in part by the PRC government’s proposal to reform its oil product pricing mechanism based on changes in the domestic and international markets, which put upward pressure on our transportation charges.

Administrative expenses. Our administrative expenses decreased by 10.2% to RMB48.3 million in 2009 from RMB53.8 million in 2008, primarily attributable to the fact that we fully depreciated our property, plant and equipment in connection with the merger of our operations at our Tianjin production facility in 2008, and a decrease in expenses relating to amortization of share options granted pursuant to an employee share option scheme.

Other (losses)/gains, net. We made other losses of RMB10.4 million in 2008 compared to gains of RMB0.3 million in 2009. Our other losses in 2008 were primarily attributable to losses on disposal of machinery and marshmallow production equipment to a third party. Our other gains from sales of scrap materials, such as plastic jelly cups, paper, cardboard and other packaging materials discarded from our production process increased from RMB0.8 million in 2008 to RMB3.9 million in 2009.

Finance costs. Our finance costs increased by 47.8% to RMB3.0 million in 2009 from RMB2.0 million in 2008, primarily attributable to an increase in bank borrowings as we commenced construction of our Sichuan production facility and required additional financing to fund our expansion plan.

Share of loss of an associated company. Share of loss of an associated company increased by 59.9% to RMB4.1 million in 2009 from RMB2.6 million in 2008, primarily attributable to the loss incurred by Super Lifestyle Food, in which we held a 32% equity interest. Our associated company ceased all business operations in 2010.

Share of loss of a jointly controlled entity. Share of loss of a jointly controlled entity decreased by 5.7% to RMB1.6 million in 2009 from RMB1.7 million in 2008, attributable to the loss made by Coco Foods, in which we held a 50% equity interest.

Provision for impairment of investment in jointly controlled entity. We made a provision for impairment of investment in jointly controlled entity of RMB5.0 million in 2008 because our jointly controlled entity, Coco Foods, was incurring losses and its profitability was not expected to substantially improve in the foreseeable future.

Income tax expense. Our income tax expense increased by 49.4% to RMB40.7 million in 2009 from RMB27.2 million in 2008 and our effective tax rate increased to 43.2% in 2009 from 28.4% in 2008, despite a slight decrease in our profit before income tax. This was mainly due to a tax provision amounting to RMB21.4 million we made pursuant to Notice No. 59. Pursuant to Notice No. 59, which became effective retrospectively on January 1, 2008, we determined that our PRC subsidiary, LBXX Tianjin, which was under full tax exemption in 2008 and 2009, would be subject to the regular income tax rate of 25% in 2008 and 2009. Accordingly, we made a provision for the aggregate income tax liability for 2008 and 2009 amounting to RMB21.4 million in the year ended December 31, 2009.

Profit for the year and net profit margin. As a result of the foregoing, our profit for the year decreased by 22.1% to RMB53.5 million in 2009 from RMB68.6 million in 2008 and our net profit margin decreased to 6.9% in 2009 from 9.5% in 2008.

Our net current liabilities positions in 2008, 2009 and 2010 were mainly due to the fact that our business operations were expanding rapidly during those years. We constructed our Sichuan production facility as part of our production expansion plan and we mainly financed the development of our Sichuan production facility using our internal cash resources and bank borrowings from 2008 to 2010. As of May 31 and September 30, 2011, we had net current assets of RMB95.7 million and RMB69.9 million, respectively. The key components of our current assets as of September 30, 2011, being the latest practicable date for determining our net current assets, included trade receivables, cash and cash equivalents and inventories. The key components of our current liabilities as of the same date included trade and other payables and borrowings.

WORKING CAPITAL

We have funded our working capital requirements through a combination of cash inflow from our operations, bank borrowings and capital contributions from our Shareholders. We recorded net current liabilities as of December 31, 2008, 2009 and 2010. The construction of our Sichuan production facility

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

as part of our production expansion plan resulted in a large amount of capital expenditures in 2008, 2009 and 2010, which was partially funded by incurring short-term bank borrowings. However, we recorded operating cash inflows during the Track Record Period, in the amount of RMB103.4 million, RMB96.5 million, RMB165.5 million and RMB92.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2008, 2009 and 2010 and the five months ended May 31, 2011, respectively. As of May 31, 2011, we recorded net current assets of RMB95.7 million, and as of September 30, 2011, we had unutilized banking facilities in the amount of RMB138.7 million. Taking into account the net proceeds we received in March 2011 from the Pre-[●] Investment of approximately RMB139.1 million (equivalent to HK$164.8 million based on the specified exchange rate of HK$1.00 to RMB0.8440), [●], banking facilities available to us and cash flows from our operations, our Directors believe that we have sufficient working capital to service our bank borrowings and our capital commitments, and to satisfy our reasonably foreseeable cash requirements in our operations for at least the next 12 months from the date of this document. The basis of our Directors’ conclusion includes, but is not limited to, (i) the forecast of demand in our products based on the Chinese economy’s expected growth, (ii) the assumption that we can successfully execute our business strategies, (iii) our planned capital expenditures, (iv) the assumption that there will be no material changes in our ability to manage our working capital, and (v) the assumption that there will be no material change in our operating environment in the PRC or other countries to which we export our products.

Planned Capital Expenditures

Our capital expenditures are expected to primarily consist of expenditures related to the construction of additional production facilities, and upgrading and expanding existing production facilities. We intend to invest approximately RMB550 million to construct a production facility in Chuzhou, Anhui Province by utilizing [●], and cash generated from our operations. The parcel of land in Chuzhou, Anhui Province which we own for the construction of our Anhui production facility has a total site area of approximately 133,332 square meters, and we commenced construction of our Anhui production facility in August 2011. We plan to start manufacturing primarily jelly snacks and jelly beverages at our Anhui production facility in 2013. Upon full production, the Anhui production facility is expected to have a production capacity of 90,000 tons of jelly products annually.

In addition, we also plan to invest approximately RMB450 million to upgrade our production equipment and technology and expand our existing production capacities at our Tianjin production facility

by utilizing [●], as well as cash generated from our operations. The production capacity of our Tianjin production facility is expected to increase from 55,000 tons to over 100,000 tons of jelly products in the next five years through expansion of this facility.

Furthermore, we are in the process of expanding the jelly products production capacity at our Sichuan production facility by 30,000 tons per year to 80,000 tons per year, and the expansion is expected to be completed in early 2012. We expect the cost of the expansion will amount to approximately RMB70 million when completed. We have been funding and will continue to fund this expansion project with cash generated from our operations, and we may utilize banking facilities available to us if necessary.

Our actual capital expenditures may differ from the amounts set forth above due to various factors, including our future cash flows, results of operations and financial condition, economic conditions in China and the world, the availability of financing on terms acceptable to us, technical or other problems in obtaining or installing equipment, changes in the regulatory environment in the PRC and other factors. We may also pursue new expansion through internal development, acquisitions of existing operations, investments in other businesses, or joint ventures with third parties.

CERTAIN BALANCE SHEET ITEMS

Inventories

Our inventories comprise raw materials (including packaging materials) and finished goods, which we store in our own warehouses. We have not experienced any material shortage of inventory during the Track Record Period.

The following table sets forth our inventory balance as of the dates indicated:

Notes:

(1) Raw materials mainly represent raw materials used in our production such as packaging materials, sugar, canned fruit, jelly powder and other additives such as flavoring essence.

  • (2) Finished goods comprises our finished jelly products, confectionary products and powdered milk tea.

Our inventories increased by 2.2% to RMB78.6 million as of May 31, 2011 from RMB76.9 million as of December 31, 2010. The increase was primarily due to an increase in raw materials as we purchased a sizeable amount of inventories at the end of May 2011, largely offset by a decrease in finished products. As of December 31, 2010, we had a higher amount of finished goods on hand to accommodate the expected increased sales during the 2011 Chinese New Year holiday period.

Our inventories increased by 25.0% to RMB76.9 million as of December 31, 2010 from RMB61.5 million as of December 31, 2009. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in raw materials used as a result of an increase in our operating scale as our Sichuan production facility commenced commercial production.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Our inventories decreased by 20.7% to RMB61.5 million as of December 31, 2009 from RMB77.5 million as of December 31, 2008. The decrease was primarily attributable to a lower level of finished products we accumulated at the end of 2009 as compared to the end of 2008 due to the timing of the Chinese New Year holiday period. In 2009, the Chinese New Year fell in the first week of February, and therefore we accumulated more finished products at the end of 2008 to accommodate the expected increase in demand during the holiday season. However, in 2010, the Chinese New Year fell relatively later, in the third week of February, which gave us sufficient time to prepare for the expected increase in demand and obviated the need for us to start accumulating finished products at the end of 2009. Our level of finished products as of December 2009 and 2010 was relatively stable even though Chinese New Year in 2011 fell in the first week of February because, even though we started to accumulate finished goods inventory at the end of 2010 to accommodate the expected increase in demand during the 2011 Chinese New Year period, strong demand at the end of 2010 consumed much of our finished goods inventory.

For the year ended December 31, 2008, 2009 and 2010 and for the five months ended May 31, 2011, our inventory turnover days were 25 days, 29 days, 29 days and 23 days, respectively. We calculate the inventory turnover days using the average of the monthly ending inventory balances for the period, divided by cost of sales for the period, multiplied by the number of days for the relevant period (365 days for 2008, 2009 and 2010 and 151 days for the five months ended May 31, 2011). Inventory turnover days increased slightly in 2009 compared to 2008 because we purchased additional raw materials, such as packaging materials, sugar and canned fruits at the end of 2008 when the prices of raw materials were low following the onset of the global financial crisis in the fourth quarter of 2008. These raw materials are non-perishable and were consumed throughout the year resulting in slightly longer inventory turnover days in 2009.

As of the Latest Practicable Date, approximately 70% of the raw materials and all of the finished goods as of May 31, 2011 were utilized or sold.

Trade Receivables, Prepayments and Other Receivables

Trade receivables mainly represent the balances due from our customers. We typically sell our products on credit and grant most of our customers credit terms ranging from 30 to 60 days depending on a number of factors, such as their credit history, scale of operation and financial resources. Only a small amount of our products are sold and delivered against cash payment. We grant credit terms of 90 days to our key account agents, given our key account customers usually require a credit term of up to 90 days in line with customary market practice. We typically assess our customers’ creditworthiness by reviewing their past sales and payment trends. We grant our customers appropriate credit periods for settlement of orders taking into account seasonal demands, sales and their respective customer base. We also conduct a periodic review of the outstanding balances owing from our customers. For new customers and customers with smaller orders or smaller market share, we typically require cash against delivery. For larger customers or customers with larger market share and especially those with a longer and more reliable track record with us, we may grant more favorable credit terms, in the form of higher credit limits. When the outstanding balance owed to us by a particular customer is close to the credit limit granted to such customer, we will inform the customer accordingly, and request the customer to make payments to reduce the amount outstanding. All credit terms are recommended by our sales and marketing department and are subject to review and approval by our executive Director.

Prepayments and other receivables mainly represent prepayments made to suppliers of raw materials and prepaid advertising and promotional expenses.

Other receivables mainly represent value-added tax recoverable, and rental income owed to us by a jointly controlled entity, an associated company and an Independent Third Party.

The following table sets forth our trade and other receivables of the dates indicated:

72,104 117,272 179,583 249,952

Our trade receivables increased by 42.9% to RMB210.9 million as of May 31, 2011 from RMB147.6 million as of December 31, 2010. The increase was primarily due to an increase in sales and the longer credit term we granted to our key account agents and key account customers.

Our trade receivables increased by 38.5% to RMB147.6 million as of December 31, 2010 from RMB106.6 million as of December 31, 2009. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in sales volume as a result of increased market demand and an expansion of our business scale.

Our trade receivables increased by 81.2% to RMB106.6 million as of December 31, 2009 from RMB58.8 million as of December 31, 2008. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in sales volume as a result of increased market demand and an expansion of our business scale. We also offered some of our wholesale distributors more favorable credit terms of up to 60 days during peak seasons in order to consolidate our relationships with these distributors.

For the year ended December 31, 2008, 2009 and 2010 and the five months ended May 31, 2011, our trade receivables turnover days were 30 days, 34 days, 33 days and 41 days, respectively. The increase in our trade receivables turnover days for the five months ended May 31, 2011 was primarily due to our commencement in 2011 of sales to key account agents and key account customers, to which we granted a longer credit term of 90 days. We believe that the increase in trade receivable days does not have a material adverse impact on our liquidity and cash flow. We calculate the trade receivables turnover days using the average of the monthly ending net trade receivable balances for the period, divided by revenue for the period, multiplied by the number of days for the relevant period (365 days for 2008, 2009 and 2010 and 151 days for the five months ended May 31, 2011).

impairment of trade receivables. Based on the foregoing, we believe that our credit management and policies on making provisions are appropriate. As of the Latest Practicable Date, substantially all of the trade receivables as of May 31, 2011 were settled.

Trade and Other Payables

Trade payables mainly represent the balances due to our suppliers of raw materials to which we are generally granted credit terms ranging from 30 to 60 days. Bills payable mainly represent purchases of raw materials settled by bank bills. Other payables mainly represent sales rebates accrued and yet to be paid to our wholesale distributors, accrued expenses in relation to employee wages, salaries and bonuses yet to be paid and other tax payables.

Our trade payables increased by 12.3% to RMB128.6 million as of May 31, 2011 from RMB114.5 million as of December 31, 2010. The increase was primarily due to our purchase of a sizeable amount of raw materials at the end of May 2011 to satisfy our anticipated production needs. As of the Latest Practicable Date, approximately 70% of the raw materials as of May 31, 2011 were utilized.

Our trade payables increased by 31.5% to RMB114.5 million as of December 31, 2010 from RMB87.1 million as of December 31, 2009. The increase was primarily attributable to increased purchase of raw materials as a result of the commencement of production at our Sichuan production facility.

Our trade payables decreased by 9.8% to RMB87.1 million as of December 31, 2009 from RMB96.6 million as of December 31, 2008. The decrease was primarily attributable to a relative decrease in raw material purchases towards the end of 2009. We purchased more raw materials towards the end of 2008 compared to the same period in 2009 because raw materials prices were relatively low in the fourth quarter of 2008 following the economic downturn in China. This resulted in relatively higher trade and other payables as of December 31, 2008 compared to December 31, 2009.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Our bills payable increased by 23.7% to RMB83.6 million as of May 31, 2011 from RMB67.5 million as of December 31, 2010. The increase was primarily due to our increased use of bills payable to enhance our working capital management.

Our bills payable increased by 113.0% to RMB67.5 million as of December 31, 2010 from RMB31.7 million as of December 31, 2009. The increase was primarily attributable to increased raw materials purchased in line with our expanded scale of operations, as well as an increase in our available bank facilities, which provided us with a higher credit limit for bank bills.

Our bills payable decreased by 9.3% to RMB31.7 million as of December 31, 2009 from RMB35.0 million as of December 31, 2008. The decrease was primarily attributable to the same reason that our trade payables decreased as of December 31, 2009 as compared to December 31, 2008.

Our other payables increased by 10.3% from RMB40.0 million as of December 31, 2008 to RMB44.1 million as of December 31, 2009, and further increased by 8.0% to RMB47.6 million as of December 31, 2010. The steady increase was primarily attributable to an increase in sales rebates in line with our increased sales, as well as an increase in value added tax payable in line with our increase in operating scale. Our other payables decreased slightly by 4.3% to RMB45.6 million as of May 31, 2011 from RMB47.6 million as of December 31, 2010.

For the year ended December 31, 2008, 2009 and 2010 and the five months ended May 31, 2011, our trade payables turnover days were 96 days, 84 days, 85 days and 89 days, respectively. We calculate the trade payables turnover days using the average of the monthly trade payables balances for the period, divided by the purchases for the period, multiplied by the number of days for the relevant period (365 days for 2008, 2009 and 2010 and 151 days for the five months ended May 31, 2011). Trade payables turnover days decreased in 2009 compared to 2008 primarily due to the fact that we purchased a larger amount of raw materials at the end of 2008 due to the lower market price of raw materials following the onset of the economic slowdown in China in the fourth quarter of 2008.

The following table sets forth the aging analysis of our trade payables as of the dates indicated:

As of December 31, 2008, 2009 and 2010, May 31, 2011 and September 30, 2011, our outstanding borrowings were RMB37.5 million, RMB57.5 million, RMB92.0 million, RMB139.0 million and RMB139.0 million, respectively. Our borrowings increased in 2008, 2009, 2010 and the five months ended May 31, 2011, primarily attributable to an increase in bank borrowings to satisfy the working capital requirements of the construction of our Sichuan production facility. Our borrowings for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 were also in part attributable to the purchase of land use rights in connection with a parcel of land in Anhui Province on which we have commenced construction of our Anhui production facility and the deposits for property, plant and equipment.

As of December 31, 2008, 2009 and 2010, May 31, 2011 and September 30, 2011, the weighted average effective interest rates of our short-term bank borrowings were 7.65%, 5.03%, 5.54%, 6.03% and 6.29%, respectively.

Certain short-term bank borrowings of our subsidiary, LBXX Fujian, are subject to financial covenants. As of each of December 31, 2008, 2009 and 2010, LBXX Fujian had drawn down on its bank loans in breach of certain financial covenants, under which LBXX Fujian was required to maintain a debt ratio of no more than 50%, a current ratio of no lower than 1.0 and a quick ratio of no lower than 0.8. As of December 31, 2008, 2009 and 2010, LBXX Fujian’s debt ratio was 46%, 51% and 56% respectively, current ratio was 0.91, 0.84 and 0.98 respectively, and quick ratio was 0.58, 0.60 and 0.83 respectively, and certain of them were in breach of the covenants stipulated by the loan agreements. The breaches were mainly because of an increase in bank borrowings primarily used to fund the construction of the Sichuan facility from 2008 to 2010. Due to the breaches of these financial covenants, the lending banks were

contractually entitled to request early repayment of the outstanding amount of the loans, which amounted to RMB37.5 million, RMB57.5 million and RMB43 million as of December 31, 2008, 2009 and 2010, respectively. However, the lending banks did not request early repayment of these outstanding bank borrowings, and these amounts were subsequently repaid on their respective maturity dates. On March 4, 2011, LBXX Fujian obtained a waiver from the lending bank in respect of breach of financial covenant requirements for the outstanding bank borrowing of RMB43 million as of December 31, 2010. During the five months ended May 31, 2011, LBXX Fujian obtained bank borrowings of RMB32 million from the same bank which were also subject to certain financial covenants, and LBXX Fujian was in breach of one of the financial covenant requirement. LBXX Fujian was in compliance of the financial covenant requirement as of May 31, 2011, and on August 17, 2011, LBXX Fujian obtained a waiver from the lending bank in respect of breach of the financial covenant requirement before May 31, 2011 for the outstanding bank borrowings of RMB32 million. As of the Latest Practicable Date, we had not received indications from the lending bank that it intended on requiring early repayment of the outstanding bank borrowings.

In addition, LBXX Fujian had a short-term bank borrowing from another bank amounting to RMB30 million as of May 31, 2011. The loan agreement relating to such borrowing contains a cross-default provision, pursuant to which the lending bank was entitled to request early repayment of the outstanding amount as a result of LBXX Fujian’s non-compliance of the aforementioned financial covenants. The lending bank did not request early repayment before the loan was subsequently repaid on its maturity date in August 2011.

We believe that we can avoid future breaches of any relevant financial covenants before December 31, 2011 because of (i) the completion of our Sichuan facility construction in 2010, (ii) funds raised through our Pre-[●] Investment, and (iii) projected cash generated from operating activities. To prevent similar breaches in the future, we have assigned an account manager with the duty of monitoring the financial status of the Group to ensure compliance with financial covenants under our loan agreements. The account manager is also responsible for updating the Board on a monthly basis on financial covenants compliance.

As of December 31, 2008 and 2009, our short-term bank borrowings were secured by a corporate guarantee from a third party. As of December 31, 2010, our short-term bank borrowings were secured by a corporate guarantee and personal guarantees granted by a number of our Directors in favor of the lending banks. Such corporate guarantee and personal guarantees granted by our Directors were subsequently released in March 2011.

Our gearing ratio, as calculated by dividing our total borrowings by our total equity, was 7.2%, 9.9%, 14.1% and 16.0% as of December 31, 2008, 2009 and 2010 and May 31, 2011, respectively. Increase in gearing ratio from 2008 to 2010 was primarily attributable to an increase in bank borrowings to satisfy the capital expenditure requirements for the construction of our Sichuan production facility.

As of September 30, 2011, being the latest practicable date for determining indebtedness, we had aggregate banking facilities of RMB266.7 million available, of which RMB128.0 million was utilized and RMB138.7 million remained unutilized. Although we have in place agreed credit limits from our banking facilities, consistent with our experience of Chinese lending practice, the terms of any drawdown thereunder are not set and remain to be agreed prior to any drawdown.

According to the China Statistical Bureau, China’s overall national inflation rate, as represented by the general consumer price index, was approximately 5.9% in the year ended December 31, 2008, but China experienced deflation of approximately 0.7% in the year ended December 31, 2009. According to the China Statistical Bureau, in the year ended December 31, 2010, China experienced inflation of approximately 3.3%. For the five months ended May 31, 2011, China experienced inflation of approximately 5.2% compared to the five months ended May 31, 2010. As of the date of this document, we had not been materially affected by any inflation or deflation.

MARKET RISKS

We are exposed to a variety of market risks in the normal course of business, including foreign exchange risk, credit risk, liquidity risk and interest rate risk, as set out below. We regularly monitor our exposure to these risks and as of the Latest Practicable Date, did not hedge or consider necessary to hedge any of these risks. However, our overall risk management strategy seeks to minimize adverse effects from the unpredictability of financial markets on our financial performance. Our board of Directors is responsible for setting the objectives and underlying principles of financial risk management.

Credit Risk

We are exposed to credit risk primarily arising from trade receivables and bank deposits. Trade receivables are substantially from wholesale distributors with good collection track records with us. For trade receivables, we adopt the policy of dealing only with customers of appropriate credit history to mitigate credit risks. Concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade receivables are limited due to our large number of customers. No doubtful debts were written off for the year ended December 31, 2008, 2009 and 2010 and the five months ended May 31, 2011. Our Directors believe that no significant credit risk is inherent in our trade receivables.

Bank deposits are mainly deposits with banks with good credit ratings assigned by international credit-rating agencies. For bank deposits, we adopt the policy of dealing only with high credit quality counterparties.

The maximum exposure to credit risk in the event that the counterparties fail to perform their obligations as of the end of the reporting period in relation to each class of recognized financial assets was the carrying amounts of those assets as stated on our balance sheets.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Liquidity Risk

Our financial liabilities are all due within the next 12 months from the balance sheet date. We manage the liquidity risk by maintaining sufficient cash and banking facilities to enable us to meet our normal operating and capital commitments.

Interest Rate Risk

Our interest rate risk relates primarily to our bank deposits and bank borrowings. We currently have not entered into interest rate swaps to hedge against our exposure to changes in fair values of our borrowings. It is our policy to maintain an appropriate level between our borrowings so as to balance the fair value and cash flow interest rate risk. In addition, to the extent that we may need to raise debt financing in the future, upward fluctuations in interest rates will increase the cost of new debts. Fluctuations in interest rates can also lead to significant fluctuations in the fair values of our debt obligations. We currently do not use any derivative instruments to manage our interest rate risk. To the extent we decide to do so in the future, there can be no assurance that any future hedging activities will protect us from fluctuations in interest rates. Please see Note 4 to the Accountant’s Report included in Appendix I of this document for further details.

Foreign Exchange Risk

Foreign exchange rate risk refers to the risk that movement in foreign currency exchange rates will affect our financial results and cash flows. Substantially all of our sales, costs and expenses, assets and liabilities are denominated in Renminbi. As a result, our management does not believe we are currently exposed to significant foreign exchange rate risk. However, as we expand our operations, we may incur a significant amount of assets and liabilities in a currency other than the Renminbi. In this case, we would be exposed to risks related to the exchange rate and the currency in which our assets and liabilities is denominated. A depreciation of the Renminbi would require us to use more Renminbi funds to service the same amount of foreign currency liabilities. [●] On the other hand, a depreciation of Renminbi would adversely affect the value of any dividends we pay to our Shareholders [●]. We currently do not engage in hedging activities designed or intended to manage such exchange rate risk. Because the Renminbi is not freely convertible, our ability to reduce foreign exchange rate risk is limited.

PROPERTY INTERESTS

Details relating to our property interests are set out in Appendix IV to this document. Vigers Appraisal And Consulting Limited, an independent property valuer, has valued our property interests as of August 31, 2011. The full text of their letters, summary of valuation and valuation certificates regarding such property interests are set out in Appendix IV to this document.

The directors of the Company have prepared the consolidated financial statements of the Company for the Relevant Periods, in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRSs”) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (the “Underlying Financial Statements”).

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT

APPENDIX I

REPORTING ACCOUNTANT’S RESPONSIBILITY

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial information and to report our opinion to you. We carried out our procedures in accordance with the Auditing Guideline 3.340 “[●]” issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (the “HKICPA”).

OPINION

In our opinion, the financial information gives, for the purposes of this report, a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Company as at 31 December 2008, 2009 and 2010 and 31 May 2011 and of the state of affairs of the Group as at 31 December 2008, 2009 and 2010 and 31 May 2011, and of the Group’s results and cash flows for the Relevant Periods then ended.

REVIEW OF STUB PERIOD COMPARATIVE FINANCIAL INFORMATION

We have reviewed the stub period comparative financial information set out in Section I below included in Appendix I to the Document which comprises the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the five months ended 31 May 2010 and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information (the “Stub Period Comparative Financial Information”).

The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the Stub Period Comparative Financial Information in accordance with the accounting policies set out in Note 3 of Section I below.

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the Stub Period Comparative Financial Information based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements 2410, “Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity” issued by the IAASB. A review of the Stub Period Comparative Financial Information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with ISA and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the Stub Period Comparative Financial Information, for the purpose of this report, has not been prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the accounting policies set out in Note 3 of Section I below.

APPENDIX I

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT

3 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of the financial information are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years/periods presented, unless otherwise stated.

3.1 Consolidation

(a) Subsidiaries

Subsidiaries are all entities (including special purpose entities) over which the Group has the power to govern the financial and operating policies generally accompanying by a shareholding of more than one half of the voting rights. The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether the Group controls another entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are de-consolidated from the date on which control ceases.

All business combinations, if any, are accounted for using the acquisition method. The consideration transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary is the fair values of the assets transferred, liabilities incurred and the equity interests issued by the Group. The consideration transferred includes the fair value of any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement. Acquisition- related costs are expensed as incurred. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. On an acquisition-by-acquisition basis, the Group recognizes any non-controlling interest in the acquiree either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest’s proportionate share of the acquiree’s net assets.

The excess of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree and the acquisition-date fair value of any previous equity interest in the acquiree over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. If this is less than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiaries acquired in the case of a bargain purchase, the difference is recognized directly in the statement of comprehensive income.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, inter-company transactions, balances and unrealized gains on transactions between group companies are eliminated. Unrealized losses are also eliminated. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.

In the Company’s balance sheet, investments in subsidiaries are accounted for at cost less impairment. Cost is adjusted to reflect changes in consideration arising from contingent consideration amendments. Cost also includes direct attributable costs of investment. The results of subsidiaries are accounted for by the Company on the basis of dividends received and receivable.

(b) An associated company and a jointly controlled entity

An associated company is an entity over which the Group has significant influence but not control, generally accompanying a shareholding of between 20% and 50% of the voting rights.

A jointly controlled entity is an entity over which the Group has contractual arrangements to jointly share the control over the economic activity of the entity with one or more parties.

The Group’s interests in an associated company and a jointly controlled entity are accounted for using the equity method of accounting and are initially recognized at cost and subsequently net of any accumulated impairment losses (Note 3.6).

The Group’s share of its associated company or jointly controlled entity’s post-acquisition profits or losses is recognized in the statement of comprehensive income and its share of post-acquisition movements in other comprehensive income is recognized in other comprehensive income. The cumulative post-acquisition movements are adjusted against the carrying amount of the investments. When the Group’s share of losses in an associated company or a jointly controlled entity equals or exceeds its interests in the associated company or the jointly controlled entity, including any other unsecured receivables, the Group does not recognize further losses, unless it has obligations or has made payments on behalf of the associated company or the jointly controlled entity.

Unrealized gains on transactions between the Group and its associated company and jointly controlled entity are eliminated to the extent of the Group’s interests in the associated company and the jointly controlled entity. Unrealized losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of an associated company and a jointly controlled entity have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the accounting policies adopted by the Group.

Dilution gains and losses arising in investments in an associated company or a jointly controlled entity are recognized in the statement of comprehensive income.

3.2 Segment reporting

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision-maker. The chief operating decision-maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the executive directors that makes strategic decisions.

APPENDIX I

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT

3.3 Foreign currency translation

(a) Functional and presentation currency

Items included in the financial information of each of the Group’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the “functional currency”). The financial information is presented in RMB, which is the Company’s functional and the Group’s presentation currency.

(b) Transactions and balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions or valuation where items are re-measured. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognized in the statement of comprehensive income.

Foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in the statement of comprehensive income within “other (losses)/gains, net”.

(c) Group companies

The results and financial position of all the Group’s entities (none of which has the currency of a hyperinflationary economy) that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows:

  • (i) assets and liabilities for each balance sheet presented are translated at the closing rate at the date of that balance sheet;

  • (ii) income and expenses for each statement of comprehensive income are translated at average exchange rates (unless the average is not a reasonable approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which case income and expenses are translated at the rate on the dates of the transactions); and

  • (iii) all resulting exchange differences are recognized in other comprehensive income.

On consolidation, exchange differences arising from the translation of the net investment in foreign operations, and of borrowings and other currency instruments designated as hedges of such investments, are taken to other comprehensive income. When a foreign operation is partially disposed of or sold, exchange differences that were recorded in equity are recognized in the statement of comprehensive income as part of the gain or loss on sale.

Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign entity are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign entity and translated at the closing rate.

3.4 Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment is stated at historical cost less depreciation and impairment losses. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items.

Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognized. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the statement of comprehensive income during the financial period in which they are incurred.

Depreciation on property, plant and equipment is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate their costs to their residual values over their estimated useful lives, as follows:

Useful lives Useful lives
Buildings 20 years
Leasehold improvements 5 years
Plant and equipment 5-10 years
Motor vehicles 5 years

Construction in progress represents costs incurred in the construction of property, plant and equipment and other tangible assets. Costs comprise direct and indirect costs of construction, including borrowing costs incurred during the period of construction.

Construction in progress is transferred to property, plant and equipment when it is ready for its intended use. No provision for depreciation is made on construction in progress until such time as the relevant assets are completed and are ready for its intended use. When the assets concerned are brought to use, the costs are transferred to property, plant and equipment and depreciated in accordance with the policy as stated above.

APPENDIX I

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT

The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period.

An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount (Note 3.6).

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognized in the statement of comprehensive income.

3.5 Land use rights

Land use rights are stated at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Cost represents consideration paid for the rights to use the land on which various plants and buildings are situated for a period of 50 years. Amortization of land use rights is calculated on a straight-line basis over the period of leases.

3.6 Impairment of investments in subsidiaries, an associated company, a jointly controlled entity and non-financial assets

Assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortization and are tested annually for impairment. Assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (cash-generating units). Non-financial assets other than goodwill that suffered an impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at each reporting date.

3.7 Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is determined on a weighted average cost basis. The cost of finished goods and work-in-progress comprises raw materials, direct labor, other direct costs and related production overheads (based on normal operating capacity). It excludes borrowing costs. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less applicable variable selling expenses.

3.8 Financial assets

3.8.1 Classification

The Group classifies its financial assets in the following categories: at fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables and available-for-sale. The classification depends on the purpose for which the financial assets were acquired. Management determines the classification of the Group’s financial assets at initial recognition.

(a) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are financial assets held for trading. A financial asset is classified in this category if acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the short-term. Derivatives are classified as held for trading unless they are designated as hedges. Assets in this category are classified as current assets if expected to be settled within 12 months; otherwise, they are classified as non-current.

(b) Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They are included in current assets, except for those with maturities greater than 12 months after the end of the reporting period which are classified as non-current assets. The Group’s loans and receivables include trade and other receivables, bank deposits, and loans to an associated company in the consolidated balance sheet.

(c) Available-for-sale financial assets

Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivatives that are either designated in this category or not classified in any of the other categories. They are included in non-current assets unless the investment matures or management intends to dispose of the investment within 12 months of the end of the reporting period.

During the Relevant Periods, the Group did not hold any significant financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and available-for-sale financial assets.

APPENDIX I

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT

3.8.2 Recognition and measurement

Regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognized on the trade-date – the date on which the Group commits to purchase or sell the asset. Investments are initially recognized at fair value plus transaction costs for all financial assets not carried at fair value through profit or loss. Financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss are initially recognized at fair value, and transaction costs are expensed in the statement of comprehensive income. Financial assets are derecognized when the rights to receive cash flows from the investments have expired or have been transferred and the Group has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership. Available-for-sale financial assets and financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are subsequently carried at fair value. Loans and receivables are subsequently carried at amortized cost using the effective interest method.

Gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of the “financial assets at fair value through profit or loss” category, if any, are presented in the statement of comprehensive income within “other (losses)/gains, net” in the period in which they arise. Dividend income from financial assets at fair value through profit or loss is recognized in the statement of comprehensive income as part of other income when the Group’s right to receive payments is established.

Changes in the fair value of monetary and non-monetary securities classified as available-for-sale are recognized in other comprehensive income.

When securities classified as available-for-sale are sold or impaired, the accumulated fair value adjustments recognized in equity are included in the statement of comprehensive income as “gains and losses from investment securities”.

Interest on available-for-sale securities calculated using the effective interest method is recognized in the statement of comprehensive income as part of other income. Dividends on available-for-sale equity instruments are recognized in the statement of comprehensive income as part of other income when the Group’s right to receive payments is established.

3.8.3 Impairment of financial assets

  • (a) Assets carried at amortized cost

The Group assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired. A financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired and impairment losses are incurred only if there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the asset (a “loss event”) and that loss event (or events) has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated.

The criteria that the Group uses to determine that there is objective evidence of an impairment loss include:

  • (i) Significant financial difficulty of the issuer or obligor;

  • (ii) A breach of contract, such as a default or delinquency in interest or principal payments;

  • (iii) The Group, for economic or legal reasons relating to the borrower’s financial difficulty, granting to the borrower a concession that the lender would not otherwise consider;

  • (iv) It becomes probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganization;

  • (v) The disappearance of an active market for that financial asset because of financial difficulties; or

  • (vi) Observable data indicating that there is a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows from a portfolio of financial assets since the initial recognition of those assets, although the decrease cannot yet be identified with the individual financial assets in the portfolio, including:

  • adverse changes in the payment status of borrowers in the portfolio;

  • national or local economic conditions that correlate with defaults on the assets in the portfolio.

The Group first assesses whether objective evidence of impairment exists.

For loans and receivables category, the amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows (excluding future credit losses that have not been incurred) discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate. The carrying amount of the asset is reduced and the amount of the loss is recognized in the statement of comprehensive income. If a loan or held-to-maturity investment has a variable interest rate, the discount rate for measuring any impairment loss is the current effective interest rate determined under the contract. As a practical expedient, the Group may measure impairment on the basis of an instrument’s fair value using an observable market price.

APPENDIX I

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT

If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognized (such as an improvement in the debtor’s credit rating), the reversal of the previously recognized impairment loss is recognized in the statement of comprehensive income.

(b) Assets classified as available-for-sale

The Group assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired. For debt securities, the Group uses the criteria refer to (a) above. In the case of equity investments classified as available-for-sale, a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of the security below its cost is also evidence that the assets are impaired. If any such evidence exists for available-for-sale financial assets, the cumulative loss – measured as the difference between the acquisition cost and the current fair value, less any impairment loss on that financial asset previously recognized in profit or loss – is removed from equity and recognized in the separate statement of comprehensive income. Impairment losses recognized in the separate statement of comprehensive income on equity instruments are not reversed through the separate statement of comprehensive income. If, in a subsequent period, the fair value of a debt instrument classified as available-for-sale increases and the increase can be objectively related to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognized in profit or loss, the impairment loss is reversed through the separate statement of comprehensive income.

Impairment testing of the investments in subsidiaries, an associated company or a jointly controlled entity is required upon receiving dividends from these investments if the dividend exceeds the total comprehensive income of the subsidiary, associated company or jointly controlled entity in the period the dividend is declared or if the carrying amount of the investment in the separate financial statements exceeds the carrying amount in the consolidated financial statements of the investee’s net assets including goodwill.

3.9 Trade receivables

Trade receivables are amounts due from customers for merchandise sold in the ordinary course of business. If collection of trade receivables is expected in one year or less (or in the normal operating cycle of the business if longer), they are classified as current assets. If not, they are presented as non-current assets.

Trade receivables are recognized initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment.

3.10 Cash and cash equivalents

In the consolidated statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents includes cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, less bank overdrafts and pledged deposits. In the consolidated balance sheet, bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.

3.11 Share capital

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs, net of tax, directly attributable to the issue of new shares are shown in equity as a deduction from the proceeds.

3.12 Trade and other payables

Trade and other payables are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Trade and other payables are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less (or in the normal operating cycle of business if longer). If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities.

Trade and other payables are recognized initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.

3.13 Borrowings and borrowing costs

Borrowings are recognized initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently carried at amortized cost. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognized in the statement of comprehensive income over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method. Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Group has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the end of the reporting period.

Borrowing costs incurred for the construction of any qualifying assets are capitalized during the period of time that is required to complete and prepare the asset for its intended use. All other borrowing costs are charged to the statement of comprehensive income in the period in which they are incurred.

3.14 Current and deferred income tax

The tax expense for the period comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognized in the statement of comprehensive income, except to the extent that it relates to items recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case the tax is also recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.

APPENDIX I

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT

The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date in the countries where the Company’s subsidiaries, associated company and jointly controlled entity operate and generate taxable income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the relevant tax authorities.

Deferred income tax is recognized, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. However, the deferred income tax is not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or a liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realized or the deferred income tax liability is settled.

Deferred income tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized.

Deferred income tax is provided on temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries, associated company and jointly controlled entity except for deferred income tax liability where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference is controlled by the Group and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when the deferred income taxes assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the taxable entity or different taxable entities where there is an intention to settle the balances on a net basis.

3.15 Employee benefits

(a) Defined contribution plans

Defined contribution plans are post-employment benefit plans under which the Group pays fixed contributions into separate entities such as social security plans in the PRC, and will have no legal or constructive obligation to pay further contributions if any of the funds do not hold sufficient assets to pay all employee benefits relating to employee services in the current and preceding financial years. The Group’s contributions to defined contribution plans are recognized in the financial year to which they relate.

(b) Share-based payments

The Group operates an equity-settled, share-based compensation plans, under which the entity receives services from employees as consideration for equity instruments (options) of the Group. The fair value of the employee services received in exchange for the grant of the options is recognized as an expense. The total amount to be expensed is determined by reference to the fair value of the options granted:

  • (i) including any market performance conditions (for example, an entity’s share price);

  • (ii) excluding the impact of any service and non-market performance vesting conditions (for example, profitability, sales growth targets and remaining an employee of the entity over a specified time period); and

  • (iii) including the impact of any non-vesting conditions (for example, the requirement for employees to save).

Non-market vesting conditions are included in assumptions about the number of options that are expected to vest. The total expense is recognized over the vesting period, which is the period over which all of the specified vesting conditions are to be satisfied. At the end of each reporting period, the entity revises its estimates of the number of options that are expected to vest based on the non-marketing vesting conditions. It recognizes the impact of the revision to original estimates, if any, in the statement of comprehensive income, with a corresponding adjustment to equity.

When the options are exercised, the Company issues new shares. The proceeds received net of any directly attributable transaction costs are credited to share capital (nominal value) and share premium when the options are exercised.

The grant by the Company of options over its equity instruments to the employees of subsidiary undertakings in the Group is treated as a capital contribution. The fair value of employee services received, measured by reference to the grant date fair value, is recognized over the vesting period as an increase to investment in subsidiary undertakings, with a corresponding credit to equity.

If the grant of option is cancelled during the vesting period (other than a grant cancelled by forfeiture when the vesting conditions are not satisfied), the Company shall account for the cancellation as an acceleration of vesting, and shall therefore recognize immediately the amount that otherwise would have been recognized for service received over the remainder of the vesting period.

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT

3.16 Provisions

Provisions are recognized when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events; it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation; and the amount has been reliably estimated.

Where there are a number of similar obligations, the likelihood that an outflow will be required in settlement is determined by considering the class of obligations as a whole. A provision is recognized even if the likelihood of an outflow with respect to any one item included in the same class of obligations may be small.

Provisions are measured at the present value of the expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation using a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the obligation. The increase in the provision due to passage of time is recognized as interest expense.

3.17 Revenue recognition

Revenue comprises the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for the sale of goods in the ordinary course of the Group’s activities. Revenue is shown net of value-added tax, rebates, discounts and sales returns and after eliminating sales within the Group.

The Group recognizes revenue when the amount of revenue can be reliably measured, it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the entity and when specific criteria have been met for each of the Group’s activities as described below.

(a) Sale of goods

Revenue from sale of goods is recognized when the risk and reward of the goods has been transferred to the customer, which is usually at the date when a group entity has delivered products to the customer, the customer has accepted the products, and there is no unfulfilled obligation that could affect the customer’s acceptance of the products.

It is the Group’s policy to sell its products to the customers with a right to return due to quality issues caused by the Group. Accumulated experience is used to estimate and provide for such returns at the time of sale.

(b) Interest income

Interest income is recognized on a time proportion basis using the effective interest method.

(c) Rental income

Rental income under operating leases (net of any incentives given to the lessees) is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease periods.

3.18 Dividend distribution

Dividend distribution to the Company’s shareholders is recognized as a liability in the Group’s financial statements in the period in which the dividends are approved by the Company’s shareholders.

3.19 Operating leases

Leases in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor are classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases (net of any incentives received from the lessor) are charged to the statement of comprehensive income on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.

(ii) Cash flow and fair value interest rate risks

Cash flow interest rate risk is the risk that the future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. Fair value interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates. Apart from the bank balances, the Group has no significant interest-bearing assets, the Group’s income and operating cash flows are substantially independent of changes in market interest rates.

The Group’s borrowings are in fixed rate, the interest rate of which is highly regulated by People’s Bank of China in the PRC. Other financial liabilities are non-interest bearing. As the Group has no variable-rate borrowings, the Group’s income and operating cash flows are substantially independent of changes in market interest rates.

(b) Credit risk

Credit risk refers to the risk that counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Group. For trade receivables, the Group adopts the policy of dealing only with customers of appropriate credit history to mitigate credit risk. For other financial assets, the Group adopts the policy of dealing only with high credit quality counterparties.

The maximum exposure to credit risk for each class of financial assets is the carrying amount of that class of financial assets presented on the balance sheet. The Group’s and Company’s major classes of financial assets are bank deposits, trade and other receivables, loans to an associated company and inter-company accounts with subsidiaries.

Trade receivables are substantially from distributors and key account agents with good collection track records with the Group. Concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade receivables are limited due to the Group’s large number of customers. [●]. Bank deposits are mainly deposits with banks with good credit-ratings assigned by international credit-rating agencies.

(c) Liquidity risk

The Group’s and the Company’s financial liabilities are all due within the next 12 months from the balance sheet date. The Group and the Company manage the liquidity risk by maintaining sufficient cash and banking facilities to enable them to meet their normal operating and capital commitments.

As at 31 December 2008, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Group had given a guarantee to a financial institution for a loan of RMB20 million to a company owned by certain directors of the Company. The maximum amount the Group could be required to pay under this guarantee was RMB20 million. This guarantee had been subsequently discharged in February 2009.

APPENDIX I

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT

As disclosed in Note 28 to the financial information, a subsidiary of the Group has breached certain bank covenants as at 31 December 2008, 2009 and 2010 and during the five months ended 31 May 2011.

In March 2011, the Company has issued 43,754,922 new shares to a new shareholder for a cash consideration of approximately RMB139,130,000. [●]

4.2 Capital risk management

The Group’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern and to maintain an optimal capital structure so as to maximize shareholders’ value. In order to maintain or achieve an optimal capital structure, the Group may adjust the amount of dividend payment, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or obtain new borrowings. There is no specific requirement for the Group and the Company to maintain gearing ratio at certain level.

4.3 Fair value estimation

As at 31 December 2008, 2009 and 2010 and 31 May 2011, the Group and the Company did not have any financial assets or financial liabilities in the balance sheet which is measured at fair value. The carrying amounts of the Group’s financial assets, including cash and cash equivalents, pledged bank deposits, trade and other receivables, loans to an associated company and amounts due from subsidiaries and the Group’s financial liabilities, including trade and other payables, dividend payable and borrowings, approximate their fair values due to their short maturities. The nominal values less any estimated credit adjustments for financial assets and liabilities with a maturity of less than one year are assumed to approximate their fair values. The fair value of financial liabilities for disclosure purposes is estimated by discounting the future contractual cash flows at the current market interest rate that is available to the Group for similar financial instruments.

5 CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGMENTS

Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

(a) Impairment of interests in associated company and jointly controlled entity

Assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its recoverable amount in accordance with the accounting policy stated in Note 3.6. The provision for impairment of interests in associated company and jointly controlled entity is determined using fair value less cost to sell on individual CGU. The fair value less cost to sell method requires the entity to estimate the fair value of the CGU, which has been prepared on the basis of management’s assumptions and estimates, by referencing to sales contracts of arm’s length transactions etc. If there is a significant adverse change in the estimated fair value of the CGU, it may be necessary to take an impairment charge to the statement of comprehensive income.

(b) Current and deferred income taxes

The Group is subject to income taxes in the PRC. There are certain transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain during the ordinary course of business. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such differences will impact the income tax and deferred tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made.

Deferred income tax assets relating to certain temporary differences are recognized when management considers it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized. When the expectation is different from the original estimate, such differences will impact the recognition of deferred income tax assets and taxation charges in the period in which such estimate is changed.

6 SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Group is principally engaged in the manufacturing and sale of jelly products, confectionary products and other food and beverages products.

The chief operating decision-maker (“CODM”) has been identified as the executive directors of the Company. CODM reviews the Group’s internal reporting in order to assess performance and allocate resources. Management has determined the operating segments based on these reports.

APPENDIX I ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT

CODM considers the business by products and assesses the performance of the following operating segments:

  • i. Jelly products

  • ii. Confectionary products

  • iii. Other products

CODM assesses the performance of the operating segments based on measure of segment results. Finance costs, share of results of associated company and jointly controlled entity, corporate income and expenses are not included in the results for each operating segment that is reviewed by the CODM. Other information provided to the CODM is measured in a manner consistent with that in the financial information.

Sales to external customers are after elimination of inter-segment sales. Sales between segments are carried out at mutually agreed terms. The revenue from external parties reported to the CODM is measured in a manner consistent with that in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

During the Relevant Periods, none of the individual customer account for 10% or more of the Group’s external revenue. As at 31 December 2008, 2009, 2010 and 31 May 2011, substantially all of the Group’s assets, liabilities and capital expenditure are located or utilized in the PRC.

During the Relevant Periods, the Group did not have any assessable income in Bermuda, BVI and Hong Kong.

The subsidiaries in the PRC are subject to income tax rate of 25% on their taxable profit during the Relevant Periods. Certain of the subsidiaries were granted full exemption from the PRC income tax for two years from their first profit-making year of operation, and followed by a 50% reduction in income tax rate for the next three years.

A subsidiary in Fujian province, PRC, was designated an New and Hi-Tech Enterprises (“高新技術企業”) in October 2009 and has thus enjoyed a preferential income tax rate of 15% since 2010 and subject to review and renewal every three years.

In addition, pursuant to Article 9 of Circular Caishui [2009] No.59 issued on 30 April 2009, which became effective retrospectively on 1 January 2008, a subsidiary under the full-exemption tax holiday period in 2008 and 2009 was subject to an income tax rate of 25% in 2008 and 2009. Consequently, a provision for income tax liability amounting to RMB 21,400,000 was made in the year ended 31 December 2009. In 2010, the directors have sought clarification from the relevant PRC tax authorities on the tax position of the subsidiary and determined that the subsidiary can continue to enjoy the tax holiday till its expiry in 2012. As such, the subsidiary has written back the tax provision in 2010.

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT

(a) Basic earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net profit attributable to the Company’s equity holders by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year/period.

(b) Diluted earnings per share

For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding is adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential ordinary shares. In 2008 and 2009, the Company had one category of dilutive potential ordinary shares: share options that were anti-dilutive. On 27 August 2009, all unexercised outstanding share options were cancelled. Consequently, the Company has no potential dilutive ordinary shares as at 31 December 2009 and 2010 and 31 May 2010 and 2011.

The basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share as presented on the consolidated statements of comprehensive income have not taken into account the [●].

At 31 December 2008 and 2009, the short-term bank borrowings were secured by corporate guarantee from a third party. At 31 December 2010, the short-term bank borrowings were secured by corporate guarantee from a third party and guaranteed by certain directors and a subsidiary of the Group.

Certain short-term borrowing contracts of a subsidiary from a bank contain covenant clauses which require the subsidiary to meet certain financial ratios. As at 31 December 2008, 2009 and 2010, the subsidiary did not meet certain of the stipulated financial ratios. Accordingly, the bank was contractually entitled to request early repayment of the outstanding amounts of RMB37,500,000, RMB57,500,000 and RMB43,000,000 respectively. However, the bank did not request for early repayment for the bank borrowings of RMB37,500,000, RMB57,500,000 and RMB43,000,000 as at 31 December 2008, 2009 and 2010, respectively, and these amounts were repaid on their respective maturity dates.

During the five months ended 31 May 2011, the subsidiary has obtained new short-term bank borrowings of RMB32,000,000 from the same bank which also requires the subsidiary to meet certain financial covenants. The subsidiary did not meet one of the stipulated financial ratios during January to May 2011. However, the bank did not request for early repayment for these bank borrowings. Subsequent to 31 May 2011, the subsidiary had obtained waiver in respect of the aforementioned covenant requirements for the bank borrowings of RMB32,000,000 as at 31 May 2011.

In addition, this subsidiary has a short-term bank borrowing from another bank amounting to RMB30,000,000 as at 31 December 2010 and 31 May 2011. The borrowing contract for this short-term borrowing contains certain cross-default clauses. Due to the breach of the aforementioned bank covenants, this bank was also entitled to request early repayment of the outstanding amount of this loan before its maturity. As of the date of this financial information, the loan has been repaid on its maturity date.

The Scheme was subsequently modified and was approved at a Special General Meeting on 20 April 2007. The Scheme provides an opportunity for employees of the Group, except for the Company’s controlling shareholders and their associates, to participate in the equity of the Company so as to motivate them to extend greater dedication, loyalty and higher standards of performance. The Company’s directors, except for independent directors, are not eligible to participate in the Scheme. The Scheme became operative on 15 June 2006.

On 15 June 2006 and 17 August 2007, the Company granted 31,600,000 and 29,800,000 share options to the employees pursuant to the Scheme respectively. On 27 August 2009, all unexercised outstanding share options were cancelled at the recommendation of members of the Company’s Employees’ Share Option Scheme Committee (“ESOS”) and RMB4,857,000, representing the amount that otherwise would have been recognized for services received over the remainder of the vesting period, was charged to the statement of comprehensive income in 2009. Consequently, the Company has no outstanding share options as at 31 December 2009 and 2010, and 31 May 2011.

Movements in the number of unissued ordinary shares under the Scheme for the Relevant Periods and the exercise price of the options were as follows:

The fair value of options granted on 15 June 2006, determined using the Trinomial valuation model, was approximately S$2,537,000 (approximately RMB12,685,000). The significant inputs into the model were share price of S$0.305, at the grant date, exercise price shown above, the option life shown above, risk-free interest rate of 2.96% – 3.25%, expected volatility of 50% and expected forfeiture rate of 10%.

31 RESERVES

(a) Merger reserve

The Group was formed on 28 March 2005 pursuant to a group restructuring exercise. The subsidiaries acquired pursuant to the group restructuring exercise under common control have been consolidated using the pooling-of-interest method. Under the pooling-of-interest method, the consolidated financial statements of the Group have been presented as if the Group’s structure immediately after the group restructuring exercise has been in exercise since the earliest financial year presented and the assets and liabilities are brought into the consolidated financial statements at their carrying amounts. The merger reserve of the Group represents the difference between the nominal amount of share capital issued by the Company and the nominal amount of the share capital of the subsidiaries transferred to the Company pursuant to the group restructuring exercise.

(b) Statutory reserves

In accordance with the PRC Company Law and the PRC subsidiaries’ Articles of Association, every year the subsidiaries are required to transfer 0-10% of the profit after taxation determined in accordance with PRC Accounting Standards to the statutory reserves until the balance reaches 50% of the registered capital. Such reserve can be used to reduce any losses incurred or to increase share capital. Except for the reduction of losses incurred, any other usage should not result in this reserve balance falling below 25% of the registered capital.

The following is the text of a report from Vigers Appraisal and Consulting Limited, an independent valuer, in respect of the property valuation report of the Group as set out in this appendix and prepared for the sole purpose of inclusion in this document.

[Date]

The Board of Directors China Lifestyle Food and Beverages Group Limited Room 1104, Asia-Pac Commercial Centre, 10 North Point Road, North Point, Hong Kong

Dear Sirs,

In accordance with your instruction for us to value the property interests of various properties held by “China Lifestyle Food and Beverages Group Limited” (referred to as “the Company”) and its subsidiaries (hereinafter together referred to as “the Group”), we confirm that we have inspected the properties, made relevant enquiries and investigations as well as obtained such further information as we consider necessary for the purpose of providing our opinion of values of the property interests of the properties as at 31st August 2011 (the “Valuation Date”).

BASIS OF VALUATION

Our valuations are our opinion of market values of the property interests of the properties in concern which is defined as intended to mean “ the estimated amount for which a property should exchange on the date of valuation between a willing buyer and a willing seller on an arm’s length transaction after proper marketing wherein the parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion ”. Our valuations have been prepared in accordance with “The HKIS Valuation Standards on Properties (First Edition 2005)” published by The Hong Kong Institute of Surveyors, the relevant provisions in the Companies Ordinance and [●].

APPENDIX IV

PROPERTY VALUATION REPORT

PROPERTY CATEGORISATION

In the course of our valuations, we have categorized the property interests of the properties in concern into the following three groups.

Group I

The property interests of the properties in concern are held by the Group in the PRC for owner-occupation purpose. Due to lack of suitable market comparables, the property interests of the properties held by the Group have been valued on the basis of depreciated replacement cost (“DRC”) whereby “DRC is based on an estimate of the market value for the existing use of the land, plus the current gross replacement (reproduction) costs of the improvements, less allowances for physical deterioration and all relevant forms of obsolescence and optimization”. Value of the property interests of the properties derived from the basis of DRC is subject to adequate potential profitability of the business in concern.

Group II

The property interest of the property in concern is held by the Group in the PRC for future development purpose. In the course of our valuation, we have employed the direct comparison method of valuation whereby comparisons based on actual sales transactions of comparable properties have been made. Comparable properties with similar use, location, size and so on are analyzed and carefully weighed against all respective advantages and disadvantages of the property in order to arrive at a fair comparison of value.

Group III

In respect of the property interest of the property in Group II which is a property leased by the Group in Hong Kong, we are of the opinion that the property interest of the property in concern has no commercial value due to the prohibition against assignment or sub-letting or otherwise due to lack of substantial profit rent and/or the short term nature of the property interest thereof.

TITLE INVESTIGATION

In respect of the properties located in the PRC, we have been given extracted copies of relevant title documents for the property in concern but we have not checked title to the property interests of the properties nor scrutinized the original title documents. We have relied on the advice given by the Group and its legal advisers on the laws of the PRC, “Jingtian & Gongcheng” (hereinafter referred to as the “PRC Legal Advisers”) regarding title to the property interests of the properties located in the PRC. For the purpose of our valuations, we have taken the legal opinion of the PRC Legal Advisers into account. While we have exercised our professional judgement in arriving at our valuations, you are urged to consider our valuations assumptions with caution.

With respect to the property located in Hong Kong, we have conducted land searches at the Land Registry but we have not searched the original documents to ascertain ownership nor to verify any lease amendments which may not appear on the copies handed to us. All documents have been used for reference purposes and all dimensions, measurements and areas are therefore approximations.

APPENDIX IV

PROPERTY VALUATION REPORT

VALUATION ASSUMPTIONS

Our valuations have been made on the assumption that the property interests of the properties can be sold in the prevailing market in existing state without the effect of any deferred term contract, lease back, joint venture, management agreement or any other similar arrangement which may serve to affect the values of the property interests of the properties. In addition, no account has been taken into of any option or right of pre-emption concerning or affecting the sale of the property interests of the properties, and no allowance is made for the property interests of the properties to be sold to a single party and/or as a portfolio or portfolios. In valuing the property interests of the properties, we have assumed that the owners of the property interests have free and uninterrupted rights to use and assign the properties during the whole of the respective unexpired terms granted subject to the payment of usual land-use fees or Government Rent.

No investigation has been carried out to determine the suitability of the ground conditions or the services for any property development(s) erected or to be erected on the properties in concern. Our valuations have been carried out on the assumption that these aspects are satisfactory. We have also assumed that all necessary consents, approvals and licences from relevant government authorities have been or will be granted without onerous conditions or delay.

No allowance has been made in our valuations for any charges, mortgages or amounts owing on the property interests of the properties being valued or for any expenses or taxation which may be incurred in effecting a sale. Unless otherwise stated, we have assumed that the property interests of the properties are free from any encumbrances, restrictions and outgoings of an onerous nature which may serve to affect the values of the property interests of the properties in concern.

We have not carried out detailed on-site measurement to verify the correctness of the site and floor areas in respect of the properties in concern but we have assumed that the site and floor areas shown on the documents handed to us are correct. Other special assumptions for each of the property interests of the property have been stated in the footnotes of the valuation certificate for the respective property, if any.

VALUATION CONSIDERATION

We have inspected the properties but we have not carried out any structural survey nor have we inspected woodwork or other parts of the structures which are covered, unexposed or inaccessible to us. We are therefore unable to report whether such part of the properties is free from any structural or non-structural defect.

Having examined all relevant documents, we have relied to a considerable extent on the information given by the Group, particularly in respect of planning approvals, statutory notices, easements, tenure, land-use rights, site areas, floor areas, occupancy status and in the identification of the properties in concern.

Unless otherwise stated, all dimensions, measurements and areas included in the valuation certificate are based on the information contained in the documents provided to us by the Group and are therefore approximations. We have had no reason to doubt the truth and accuracy of the information made available to us and we have been advised by the Group that no material facts have been omitted from the information so given.

It was last amended on October 27, 2005 and with effect from January 1, 2006.

The Catalog contains specific provisions guiding market access of foreign capital, stipulating in detail the rules of entry according to the categories of encouraged industries, restricted industries and prohibited industries. Industries not listed in the Catalog are generally open to foreign investment unless specifically prohibited or restricted by other PRC laws and regulations. Foreign investment in the encouraged category is entitled to certain preferential treatment and incentives extended by the government, while foreign investment in the restricted category is permitted but subject to certain restrictions under PRC Law.

profits or other benefits received by him as a director, officer or member of, or from his interest in, such other company. Subject as otherwise provided by the Bye-laws, the board may also cause the voting power conferred by the shares in any other company held or owned by the Company to be exercised in such manner in all respects as it thinks fit, including the exercise thereof in favour of any resolution appointing the Directors or any of them to be directors or officers of such other company, or voting or providing for the payment of remuneration to the directors or officers of such other company.

Subject to the Companies Act and to the Bye-laws, no Director or proposed or intending Director shall be disqualified by his office from contracting with the Company, either with regard to his tenure of any office or place of profit or as vendor, purchaser or in any other manner whatsoever, nor shall any such contract or any other contract or arrangement in which any Director is in any way interested be liable to be avoided, nor shall any Director so contracting or being so interested be liable to account to the Company or the members for any remuneration, profit or other benefits realised by any such contract or arrangement by reason of such Director holding that office or the fiduciary relationship thereby established. A Director who to his knowledge is in any way, whether directly or indirectly, interested in a contract or arrangement or proposed contract or arrangement with the Company shall declare the nature of his interest at the meeting of the board at which the question of entering into the contract or arrangement is first taken into consideration, if he knows his interest then exists, or in any other case, at the first meeting of the board after he knows that he is or has become so interested.

A Director shall not vote (nor be counted in the quorum) on any resolution of the board approving any contract or arrangement or other proposal in which he or any of his associates is materially interested but this prohibition shall not apply to any of the following matters, namely:

  • (aa) any contract or arrangement for giving to such Director or his associate(s) any security or indemnity in respect of money lent by him or any of his associates or obligations incurred or undertaken by him or any of his associates at the request of or for the benefit of the Company or any of its subsidiaries;

  • (bb) any contract or arrangement for the giving of any security or indemnity to a third party in respect of a debt or obligation of the Company or any of its subsidiaries for which the Director or his associate(s) has himself/themselves assumed responsibility in whole or in part whether alone or jointly under a guarantee or indemnity or by the giving of security;

  • (cc) any contract or arrangement concerning an offer of shares or debentures or other securities of or by the Company or any other company which the Company may promote or be interested in for subscription or purchase, where the Director or his associate(s) is/are or is/are to be interested as a participant in the underwriting or sub-underwriting of the offer;

  • (dd) any contract or arrangement in which the Director or his associate(s) is/are interested in the same manner as other holders of shares or debentures or other securities of the Company by virtue only of his/their interest in shares or debentures or other securities of the Company; or

  • (ee) any proposal or arrangement concerning the adoption, modification or operation of a share option scheme, a pension fund or retirement, death, or disability benefits scheme or other arrangement which relates both to Directors, his associates and employees of the Company or of any of its subsidiaries and does not provide in respect of any Director, or his associate(s), as such any privilege or advantage not accorded generally to the class of persons to which such scheme or fund relates.

(vii) Remuneration

The ordinary remuneration of the Directors shall from time to time be determined by the Company in general meeting, such remuneration (unless otherwise directed by the resolution by which it is voted) to be divided amongst the Directors in such proportions and in such manner as the board may agree or, failing agreement, equally, except that any Director holding office for part only of the period in respect of which the remuneration is payable shall only rank in such division in proportion to the time during such period for which he held office. The Directors shall also be entitled to be prepaid or repaid all travelling, hotel and incidental expenses reasonably incurred or expected to be incurred by them in attending any board meetings, committee meetings or general meetings or separate meetings of any class of shares or of debentures of the Company or otherwise in connection with the discharge of their duties as Directors.

Any Director who, by request, goes or resides abroad for any purpose of the Company or who performs services which in the opinion of the board go beyond the ordinary duties of a Director may be paid such extra remuneration (whether by way of salary, commission, participation in profits or otherwise) as the board may determine and such extra remuneration shall be in addition to or in substitution for any ordinary remuneration provided for by or pursuant to any other Bye-law. A Director appointed to be a managing director, joint managing director, deputy managing director or other executive officer shall receive such remuneration (whether by way of salary, commission or participation in profits or otherwise or by all or any of those modes) and such other benefits (including pension and/or gratuity and/or other benefits on retirement) and allowances as the board may from time to time decide. Such remuneration may be either in addition to or in lieu of his remuneration as a Director.

The board may establish or concur or join with other companies (being subsidiary companies of the Company or companies with which it is associated in business) in establishing and making contributions out of the Company’s monies to any schemes or funds for providing pensions, sickness or compassionate allowances, life assurance or other benefits for employees (which expression as used in this and the following paragraph shall include any Director or ex-Director who may hold or have held any executive office or any office of profit with the Company or any of its subsidiaries) and ex-employees of the Company and their dependants or any class or classes of such persons.

The board may pay, enter into agreements to pay or make grants of revocable or irrevocable, and either subject or not subject to any terms or conditions, pensions or other benefits to employees and ex-employees and their dependants, or to any of such persons, including pensions or benefits additional to those, if any, to which such employees or ex-employees or their dependants are or may become entitled under any such scheme or fund as is mentioned in the previous paragraph. Any such pension or benefit may, as the board considers desirable, be granted to an employee either before and in anticipation of, or upon or at any time after, his actual retirement.

(viii) Retirement, appointment and removal

At each annual general meeting, one third of the Directors for the time being (or if their number is not a multiple of three, then the number nearest to but not less than one third) will retire from office by rotation provided that every Director shall be subject to retirement at least once every three years. The Directors to retire in every year will be those who have been longest in office since their last re-election or appointment but as between persons who became or were last re-elected Directors on the same day those to retire will (unless they otherwise agree among themselves) be determined by lot.

Note: There are no provisions relating to retirement of Directors upon reaching any age limit.

APPENDIX VI

SUMMARY OF THE CONSTITUTION OF THE COMPANY AND BERMUDA COMPANY LAW

The Directors shall have the power from time to time and at any time to appoint any person as a Director either to fill a casual vacancy on the board or, subject to authorisation by the members in general meeting, as an addition to the existing board but so that the number of Directors so appointed shall not exceed any maximum number determined from time to time by the members in general meeting. Any Director appointed by the board to fill a casual vacancy shall hold office until the first general meeting of Members after his appointment and be subject to re-election at such meeting and any Director appointed by the board as an addition to the existing board shall hold office only until the next following annual general meeting of the Company and shall then be eligible for re-election. Neither a Director nor an alternate Director is required to hold any shares in the Company by way of qualification.

A Director may be removed by an ordinary resolution of the Company before the expiration of his period of office (but without prejudice to any claim which such Director may have for damages for any breach of any contract between him and the Company) provided that the notice of any such meeting convened for the purpose of removing a Director shall contain a statement of the intention to do so and be served on such Director fourteen (14) days before the meeting and, at such meeting, such Director shall be entitled to be heard on the motion for his removal. Unless otherwise determined by the Company in general meeting, the number of Directors shall not be less than two. There is no maximum number of Directors unless otherwise determined from time to time by members of the Company.

The board may from time to time appoint one or more of its body to be managing director, joint managing director, or deputy managing director or to hold any other employment or executive office with the Company for such period (subject to their continuance as Directors) and upon such terms as the board may determine and the board may revoke or terminate any of such appointments (but without prejudice to any claim for damages that such Director may have against the Company or vice versa). The board may delegate any of its powers, authorities and discretions to committees consisting of such Director or Directors and other persons as the board thinks fit, and it may from time to time revoke such delegation or revoke the appointment of and discharge any such committees either wholly or in part, and either as to persons or purposes, but every committee so formed shall, in the exercise of the powers, authorities and discretions so delegated, conform to any regulations that may from time to time be imposed upon it by the board.

(ix) Borrowing powers

The board may from time to time at its discretion exercise all the powers of the Company to raise or borrow money, to mortgage or charge all or any part of the undertaking, property and assets (present and future) and uncalled capital of the Company and, subject to the Companies Act, to issue debentures, bonds and other securities of the Company, whether outright or as collateral security for any debt, liability or obligation of the Company or of any third party.

Note: These provisions, in common with the Bye-laws in general, can be varied with the sanction of a special resolution of the Company.

SUMMARY OF THE CONSTITUTION OF THE COMPANY AND BERMUDA COMPANY LAW

(b) Alterations to constitutional documents

The Bye-laws may be rescinded, altered or amended by the Directors subject to the confirmation of the Company in general meeting. The Bye-laws state that a special resolution shall be required to alter the provisions of the Memorandum of Association, to confirm any such rescission, alteration or amendment to the Bye-laws or to change the name of the Company.

(c) Alteration of capital

The Company may from time to time by ordinary resolution in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Companies Act:

  • (i) increase its capital by such sum, to be divided into shares of such amounts as the resolution shall prescribe;

  • (ii) consolidate and divide all or any of its capital into shares of larger amount than its existing shares;

  • (iii) divide its shares into several classes and without prejudice to any special rights previously conferred on the holders of existing shares as the directors may determine;

  • (iv) sub-divide its shares or any of them into shares of smaller amount than is fixed by the Memorandum of Association;

  • (v) change the currency denomination of its share capital;

  • (vi) make provision for the issue and allotment of shares which do not carry any voting rights; and

  • (vii) cancel any shares which, at the date of passing of the resolution, have not been taken, or agreed to be taken, by any person, and diminish the amount of its capital by the amount of the shares so cancelled.

The Company may, by special resolution, subject to any confirmation or consent required by law, reduce its authorised or issued share capital or, save for the use of share premium as expressly permitted by the Companies Act, any share premium account or other undistributable reserve.

(d) Variation of rights of existing shares or classes of shares

Subject to the Companies Act, all or any of the special rights attached to the shares or any class of shares may (unless otherwise provided for by the terms of issue of that class) be varied, modified or abrogated either with the consent in writing of the holders of not less than three-fourths of the issued shares of that class or with the sanction of a special resolution passed at a separate general meeting of the holders of the shares of that class. To every such separate general meeting the provisions of the Bye-laws relating to general meetings will mutatis mutandis apply, but so that the necessary quorum (other than at an adjourned meeting) shall be two persons or (in the case of a member being a corporation) its duly authorised representative holding or representing by proxy not less than one-third in nominal value of the

issued shares of that class and at any adjourned meeting two holders present in person or (in the case of a member being a corporation) its duly authorised representative or by proxy whatever the number of shares held by them shall be a quorum. Every holder of shares of the class shall be entitled to one vote for every such share held by him.

(e) Special resolution-majority required

A special resolution of the Company must be passed by a majority of not less than three-fourths of the votes cast by such members as, being entitled so to do, vote in person or, in the case of such members as are corporations, by their duly authorised representatives or, where proxies are allowed, by proxy at a general meeting of which notice of not less than twenty-one (21) clear days and not less than ten (10) clear business days specifying the intention to propose the resolution as a special resolution, has been duly given. Provided that if permitted by the Designed Stock Exchange (as defined in the Bye-laws), except in the case of an annual general meeting, if it is so agreed by a majority in number of the members having a right to attend and vote at such meeting, being a majority together holding not less than ninety-five per cent. (95%) in nominal value of the shares giving that right and, in the case of an annual general meeting, if so agreed by all members entitled to attend and vote thereat, a resolution may be proposed and passed as a special resolution at a meeting of which notice of less than twenty-one (21) clear days and not less than ten (10) clear business days has been given.

(f) Voting rights

Subject to any special rights or restrictions as to voting for the time being attached to any shares by or in accordance with the Bye-laws, at any general meeting on a poll every member present in person or by proxy or (being a corporation) by its duly authorised representative shall have one vote for every fully paid share of which he is the holder but so that no amount paid up or credited as paid up on a share in advance of calls or instalments is treated for the foregoing purposes as paid up on the share.

A member entitled to more than one vote need not use all his votes or cast all the votes he uses in the same way.

At any general meeting a resolution put to the vote of the meeting is to be decided by way of a poll save that the chairman of the meeting may in good faith, allow a resolution which relates purely to a procedural or administrative matter to be voted on by a show of hands in which case every member present in person (or being a corporation, is present by a duly authorized representative), or by proxy(ies) shall have one vote provided that where more than one proxy is appointed by a member which is a clearing house (or its nominee(s)), each such proxy shall have one vote on a show of hands. If a recognised clearing house (or its nominee(s)) is a member of the Company it may authorise such persons as it thinks fit to act as its representative(s) at any meeting of the Company or at any meeting of any class of members of the Company provided that, if more than one person is so authorised, the authorisation shall specify the number and class of shares in respect of which each such person is so authorised. A person authorised pursuant to this provision shall be deemed to have been duly authorised without further evidence of the facts and be entitled to exercise the same powers on behalf of the recognised clearing house (or its nominee(s)) as if such person was the registered holder of the shares held by that clearing house (or its nominee(s)) in respect of the number and class of shares specified in the relevant authorisation, including, where a show of hands is allowed, the right to vote individually on a show of hands.

APPENDIX VI SUMMARY OF THE CONSTITUTION OF THE COMPANY AND BERMUDA COMPANY LAW

Where the Company has any knowledge that any shareholder is, under the rules of the Designated Stock Exchange (as defined in the Bye-laws), required to abstain from voting on any particular resolution of the Company or restricted to voting only for or only against any particular resolution of the Company, any votes cast by or on behalf of such shareholder in contravention of such requirement or restriction shall not be counted.

(g) Requirements for annual general meetings

An annual general meeting of the Company must be held in each year other than the year in which its statutory meeting is convened at such time (within a period of not more than 15 months after the holding of the last preceding annual general meeting unless a longer period would not infringe the rules of any Designated Stock Exchange (as defined in the Bye-laws)) and place as may be determined by the board.

(h) Accounts and audit

The board shall cause true accounts to be kept of the sums of money received and expended by the Company, and the matters in respect of which such receipt and expenditure take place, and of the property, assets, credits and liabilities of the Company and of all other matters required by the provisions of the Companies Act or necessary to give a true and fair view of the Company’s affairs and to explain its transactions.

The accounting records shall be kept at the registered office or, subject to the Companies Act, at such other place or places as the board decides and shall always be open to inspection by any Director.

APPENDIX VI

SUMMARY OF THE CONSTITUTION OF THE COMPANY AND BERMUDA COMPANY LAW

Subject to the Companies Act, at the annual general meeting or at a subsequent special general meeting in each year, the members shall appoint an auditor to audit the accounts of the Company and such auditor shall hold office until the members appoint another auditor. Such auditor may be a member but no Director or officer or employee of the Company shall, during his continuance in office, be eligible to act as an auditor of the Company. The remuneration of the auditor shall be fixed by the Company in general meeting or in such manner as the members may determine.

The financial statements of the Company shall be audited by the auditor in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. The auditor shall make a written report thereon in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and the report of the auditor shall be submitted to the members in general meeting. The generally accepted auditing standards referred to herein may be those of a country or jurisdiction other than Bermuda. If the auditing standards of a country or jurisdiction other than Bermuda are used, the financial statements and the report of the auditor should disclose this fact and name such country and jurisdiction.

(i) Notices of meetings and business to be conducted thereat

An annual general meeting shall be called by notice of not less than twenty-one (21) clear days and not less than twenty (20) clear business days and any special general meeting at which it is proposed to pass a special resolution shall (save as set out in sub-paragraph (e) above) be called by notice of at least twenty-one (21) clear days and not less than ten (10) clear business days. All other special general meetings shall be called by notice of at least fourteen (14) clear days and not less than ten (10) clear business days.

The notice convening an annual general meeting shall specify the meeting as such.

(j) Transfer of shares

All transfers of shares may be effected by an instrument of transfer in the usual or common form or in a form prescribed by the Designated Stock Exchange or in such other form as the board may approve and which may be under hand or, if the transferor or transferee is a clearing house or its nominee(s), by hand or by machine imprinted signature or by such other manner of execution as the board may approve from time to time. The instrument of transfer shall be executed by or on behalf of the transferor and the transferee provided that the board may dispense with the execution of the instrument of transfer by the transferee in any case in which it thinks fit, in its discretion, to do so and the transferor shall be deemed to remain the holder of the share until the name of the transferee is entered in the register of members in respect thereof. The board may also resolve either generally or in any particular case, upon request by either the transferor or the transferee, to accept mechanically executed transfers.

The board in so far as permitted by any applicable law may, in its absolute discretion, at any time and from time to time transfer any share upon the principal register to any branch register or any share on any branch register to the principal register or any other branch register.

Unless the board otherwise agrees, no shares on the principal register shall be transferred to any branch register nor may shares on any branch register be transferred to the principal register or any other branch register.

in the case of shares on a branch register, at the relevant registration office and, in the case of shares on the principal register, at the registered office in Bermuda or such other place in Bermuda at which the principal register is kept in accordance with the Companies Act.

The board may, in its absolute discretion, and without assigning any reason, refuse to register a transfer of any share (not being a fully paid up share) to a person of whom it does not approve or any share issued under any share incentive scheme for employees upon which a restriction on transfer imposed thereby still subsists, and it may also refuse to register any transfer of any share to more than four joint holders or any transfer of any share (not being a fully paid up share) on which the Company has a lien.

The board may decline to recognise any instrument of transfer unless a fee of such maximum sum as any Designated Stock Exchange (as defined in the Bye-laws) may determine to be payable or such lesser sum as the Directors may from time to time require is paid to the Company in respect thereof, the instrument of transfer, if applicable, is properly stamped, is in respect of only one class of share and is lodged at the relevant registration office or registered office or such other place at which the principal register is kept accompanied by the relevant share certificate(s) and such other evidence as the board may reasonably require to show the right of the transferor to make the transfer (and if the instrument of transfer is executed by some other person on his behalf, the authority of that person so to do).

The registration of transfers may be suspended and the register closed on giving notice by advertisement in an appointed newspaper and, where applicable, any other newspapers in accordance with the requirements of any Designated Stock Exchange (as defined in the Bye-laws), at such times and for such periods as the board may determine and either generally or in respect of any class of shares. The register of members shall not be closed for periods exceeding in the whole thirty (30) days in any year.

(k) Power for the Company to purchase its own shares

The Bye-laws supplement the Company’s Memorandum of Association (which gives the Company the power to purchase its own shares) by providing that the power is exercisable by the board upon such terms and conditions as it thinks fit.

(l) Power for any subsidiary of the Company to own shares in the Company

There are no provisions in the Bye-laws relating to ownership of shares in the Company by a subsidiary.

(m) Dividends and other methods of distribution

Subject to the Companies Act, the Company in general meeting may declare dividends in any currency to be paid to the members but no dividend shall be declared in excess of the amount recommended by the board. The Company in general meeting may also make a distribution to its members out of contributed surplus (as ascertained in accordance with the Companies Act). No dividend shall be paid or distribution made out of contributed surplus if to do so would render the Company unable to pay its liabilities as they become due or the realisable value of its assets would thereby become less than the aggregate of its liabilities and its issued share capital and share premium account.

APPENDIX VI

SUMMARY OF THE CONSTITUTION OF THE COMPANY AND BERMUDA COMPANY LAW

Except in so far as the rights attaching to, or the terms of issue of, any share may otherwise provide, (i) all dividends shall be declared and paid according to the amounts paid up on the shares in respect whereof the dividend is paid but no amount paid up on a share in advance of calls shall for this purpose be treated as paid up on the share and (ii) all dividends shall be apportioned and paid pro rata according to the amount paid up on the shares during any portion or portions of the period in respect of which the dividend is paid. The Directors may deduct from any dividend or other monies payable to a member by the Company on or in respect of any shares all sums of money (if any) presently payable by him to the Company on account of calls or otherwise.

Whenever the board or the Company in general meeting has resolved that a dividend be paid or declared on the share capital of the Company, the board may further resolve either (a) that such dividend be satisfied wholly or in part in the form of an allotment of shares credited as fully paid up, provided that the shareholders entitled thereto will be entitled to elect to receive such dividend (or part thereof) in cash in lieu of such allotment, or (b) that shareholders entitled to such dividend will be entitled to elect to receive an allotment of shares credited as fully paid up in lieu of the whole or such part of the dividend as the board may think fit. The Company may also upon the recommendation of the board by an ordinary resolution resolve in respect of any one particular dividend of the Company that it may be satisfied wholly in the form of an allotment of shares credited as fully paid up without offering any right to shareholders to elect to receive such dividend in cash in lieu of such allotment.

Whenever the board or the Company in general meeting has resolved that a dividend be paid or declared the board may further resolve that such dividend be satisfied wholly or in part by the distribution of specific assets of any kind.

All dividends or bonuses unclaimed for one year after having been declared may be invested or otherwise made use of by the board for the benefit of the Company until claimed and the Company shall not be constituted a trustee in respect thereof. All dividends or bonuses unclaimed for six years after having been declared may be forfeited by the board and shall revert to the Company.

(n) Proxies

Any member of the Company entitled to attend and vote at a meeting of the Company is entitled to appoint another person as his proxy to attend and vote instead of him. A member who is the holder of two or more shares may appoint more than one proxy to represent him and vote on his behalf at a general meeting of the Company or at a class meeting. A proxy need not be a member of the Company. In addition, a proxy or proxies representing either a member who is an individual or a member which is a corporation shall be entitled to exercise the same powers on behalf of the member which he or they represent as such member could exercise.

(o) Call on shares and forfeiture of shares

Subject to the Bye-laws and to the terms of allotment, the board may from time to time make such calls upon the members in respect of any monies unpaid on the shares held by them respectively (whether on account of the nominal value of the shares or by way of premium). A call may be made payable either in one lump sum or by instalments. If the sum payable in respect of any call or instalment is not paid on or before the day appointed for payment thereof, the person or persons from whom the sum is due shall

pay interest on the same at such rate not exceeding twenty per cent. (20%) per annum as the board may agree to accept from the day appointed for the payment thereof to the time of actual payment, but the board may waive payment of such interest wholly or in part. The board may, if it thinks fit, receive from any member willing to advance the same, either in money or money’s worth, all or any part of the monies uncalled and unpaid or instalments payable upon any shares held by him, and upon all or any of the monies so advanced the Company may pay interest at such rate (if any) as the board may decide.

If a member fails to pay any call on the day appointed for payment thereof, the board may serve not less than fourteen (14) clear days’ notice on him requiring payment of so much of the call as is unpaid, together with any interest which may have accrued and which may still accrue up to the date of actual payment and stating that, in the event of non-payment at or before the time appointed, the shares in respect of which the call was made will be liable to be forfeited.

If the requirements of any such notice are not complied with, any share in respect of which the notice has been given may at any time thereafter, before the payment required by the notice has been made, be forfeited by a resolution of the board to that effect.

Such forfeiture will include all dividends and bonuses declared in respect of the forfeited share and not actually paid before the forfeiture.

A person whose shares have been forfeited shall cease to be a member in respect of the forfeited shares but shall, notwithstanding, remain liable to pay to the Company all monies which, at the date of forfeiture, were payable by him to the Company in respect of the shares, together with (if the board shall in its discretion so require) interest thereon from the date of forfeiture until the date of actual payment at such rate not exceeding twenty per cent. (20%) per annum as the board determines.

(p) Inspection of register of members

The register and branch register of members shall be open to inspection between 10:00 a.m. and 12:00 noon on every business day by members of the public without charge at the registered office or such other place in Bermuda at which the register is kept in accordance with the Companies Act, unless the register is closed in accordance with the Companies Act.

(q) Quorum for meetings and separate class meetings

For all purposes the quorum for a general meeting shall be two members present in person or (in the case of a member being a corporation) by its duly authorised representative or by proxy and entitled to vote. In respect of a separate class meeting (other than an adjourned meeting) convened to sanction the modification of class rights the necessary quorum shall be two persons holding or representing by proxy not less than one-third in nominal value of the issued shares of that class.

(r) Rights of the minorities in relation to fraud or oppression

There are no provisions in the Bye-laws relating to rights of minority shareholders in relation to fraud or oppression. However, certain remedies are available to shareholders of the Company under Bermuda law, as summarised in paragraph 4(e) of this Appendix.

If the Company shall be wound up (whether the liquidation is voluntary or by the court) the liquidator may, with the authority of a special resolution and any other sanction required by the Companies Act, divide among the members in specie or kind the whole or any part of the assets of the Company whether the assets shall consist of property of one kind or shall consist of properties of different kinds and the liquidator may, for such purpose, set such value as he deems fair upon any one or more class or classes of property to be divided as aforesaid and may determine how such division shall be carried out as between the members or different classes of members. The liquidator may, with the like authority, vest any part of the assets in trustees upon such trusts for the benefit of members as the liquidator, with the like authority, shall think fit, but so that no contributory shall be compelled to accept any shares or other property in respect of which there is a liability.

(t) Untraceable members

The Company may sell any of the shares of a member who is untraceable if (i) all cheques or warrants (being not less than three in total number) for any sum payable in cash to the holder of such shares have remained uncashed for a period of 12 years; (ii) upon the expiry of the 12 year period, the Company has not during that time received any indication of the existence of the member; and (iii) the Company has caused an advertisement to be published in accordance with the rules of the Designated Stock Exchange (as defined in the Bye-laws) giving notice of its intention to sell such shares and a period of three months, or such shorter period as may be permitted by the Designated Stock Exchange (as defined in the Bye-laws), has elapsed since such advertisement and the Designated Stock Exchange (as defined in the Bye-laws) has been notified of such intention. The net proceeds of any such sale shall belong to the Company and upon receipt by the Company of such net proceeds, it shall become indebted to the former member of the Company for an amount equal to such net proceeds.

(u) Other provisions

The Bye-laws provide that to the extent that it is not prohibited by and is in compliance with the Companies Act, if warrants to subscribe for shares have been issued by the Company and the Company does any act or engages in any transaction which would result in the subscription price of such warrants being reduced below the par value of a share, a subscription rights reserve shall be established and applied in paying up the difference between the subscription price and the par value of a share on any exercise of the warrants.

The Bye-laws also provide that the Company is required to maintain at its registered office a register of directors and officers in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act and such register is open to inspection by members of the public without charge between 10:00 a.m. and 12:00 noon on every business day.

SUMMARY OF THE CONSTITUTION OF THE COMPANY AND BERMUDA COMPANY LAW

3. VARIATION OF MEMORANDUM OF ASSOCIATION AND BYE-LAWS

The Memorandum of Association may be altered by the Company in general meeting. The Bye-laws may be amended by the Directors subject to the confirmation of the Company in general meeting. The Bye-laws state that a special resolution shall be required to alter the provisions of the Memorandum of Association or to confirm any amendment to the Bye-laws or to change the name of the Company. For these purposes, a resolution is a special resolution if it has been passed by a majority of not less than three-fourths of the votes cast by such members of the Company as, being entitled to do so, vote in person or, in the case of such members as are corporations, by their respective duly authorised representatives or, where proxies are allowed, by proxy at a general meeting of which not less than twenty-one (21) clear days’ and not less than ten clear business days’ notice specifying the intention to propose the resolution as a special resolution has been duly given. Except in the case of an annual general meeting, the requirement of twenty-one (21) clear days’ notice may be waived by a majority in number of the members having the right to attend and vote at the relevant meeting, being a majority together holding not less than 95 percent in nominal value of the shares giving that right.

4. BERMUDA COMPANY LAW

The Company is incorporated in Bermuda and, therefore, operates subject to Bermuda law. Set out below is a summary of certain provisions of Bermuda company law, although this does not purport to contain all applicable qualifications and exceptions or to be a complete review of all matters of Bermuda company law and taxation, which may differ from equivalent provisions in jurisdictions with which interested parties may be more familiar:

(a) Share capital

The Companies Act provides that where a company issues shares at a premium, whether for cash or otherwise, a sum equal to the aggregate amount or value of the premiums on those shares shall be transferred to an account, to be called the “share premium account”, to which the provisions of the Companies Act relating to a reduction of share capital of a company shall apply as if the share premium account was paid up share capital of the company except that the share premium account may be applied by the company:

  • (i) in paying up unissued shares of the company to be issued to members of the company as fully paid bonus shares;

  • (ii) in writing off:

  • (aa) the preliminary expenses of the company; or

  • (bb) the expenses of, or the commission paid or discount allowed on, any issue of shares or debentures of the company; or

  • (iii) in providing for the premiums payable on redemption of any shares or of any debentures of the company.

In the case of an exchange of shares the excess value of the shares acquired over the nominal value of the shares being issued may be credited to a contributed surplus account of the issuing company.

APPENDIX VI

SUMMARY OF THE CONSTITUTION OF THE COMPANY AND BERMUDA COMPANY LAW

The Companies Act permits a company to issue preference shares and subject to the conditions stipulated therein to convert those preference shares into redeemable preference shares.

The Companies Act includes certain protections for holders of special classes of shares, requiring their consent to be obtained before their rights may be varied. Where provision is made by the memorandum of association or bye-laws for authorising the variation of rights attached to any class of shares in the company, the consent of the specified proportions of the holders of the issued shares of that class or the sanction of a resolution passed at a separate meeting of the holders of those shares is required, and where no provision for varying such rights is made in the memorandum of association or bye-laws and nothing therein precludes a variation of such rights, the written consent of the holders of three-fourths of the issued shares of that class or the sanction of a resolution passed as aforesaid is required.

(b) Financial assistance to purchase shares of a company or its holding company

A company is prohibited from providing financial assistance for the purpose of an acquisition of its own or its holding company’s shares unless there are reasonable grounds for believing that the company is, and would after the giving of such financial assistance be, able to pay its liabilities as they become due. In certain circumstances, the prohibition from giving financial assistance may be excluded such as where the assistance is only an incidental part of a larger purpose or the assistance is of an insignificant amount such as the payment of minor costs.

(c) Purchase of shares and warrants by a company and its subsidiaries

A company may, if authorised by its memorandum of association or bye-laws, purchase its own shares. Such purchases may only be effected out of the capital paid up on the purchased shares or out of the funds of the company otherwise available for dividend or distribution or out of the proceeds of a fresh issue of shares made for the purpose. Any premium payable on a purchase over the par value of the shares to be purchased must be provided for out of funds of the company otherwise available for dividend or distribution or out of the company’s share premium account. Any amount due to a shareholder on a purchase by a company of its own shares may (i) be paid in cash; (ii) be satisfied by the transfer of any part of the undertaking or property of the company having the same value; or (iii) be satisfied partly under (i) and partly under (ii). Any purchase by a company of its own shares may be authorised by its board of directors or otherwise by or in accordance with the provisions of its bye-laws. Such purchase may not be made if, on the date on which the purchase is to be effected, there are reasonable grounds for believing that the company is, or after the purchase would be, unable to pay its liabilities as they become due. The shares so purchased may either be cancelled or held as treasury shares. Any purchased shares that are cancelled will, in effect, revert to the status of authorised but unissued shares. If shares of the company are held as treasury shares, the company is prohibited to exercise any rights in respect of those shares, including any right to attend and vote at meetings, including a meeting under a scheme of arrangement, and any purported exercise of such a right is void. No dividend shall be paid to the company in respect of shares held by the company as treasury shares; and no other distribution (whether in cash or otherwise) of the company’s assets (including any distribution of assets to members on a winding up) shall be made to the company in respect of shares held by the company as treasury shares. Any shares allotted by the company as fully paid bonus shares in respect of shares held by the company as treasury shares shall be treated for the purposes of the Companies Act as if they had been acquired by the company at the time they were allotted.

APPENDIX VI

SUMMARY OF THE CONSTITUTION OF THE COMPANY AND BERMUDA COMPANY LAW

A company is not prohibited from purchasing and may purchase its own warrants subject to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of the relevant warrant instrument or certificate. There is no requirement under Bermuda law that a company’s memorandum of association or its bye-laws contain a specific provision enabling such purchases.

Under Bermuda law, a subsidiary may hold shares in its holding company and in certain circumstances, may acquire such shares. The holding company is, however, prohibited from giving financial assistance for the purpose of the acquisition, subject to certain circumstances provided by the Companies Act. A company, whether a subsidiary or a holding company, may only purchase its own shares if it is authorised to do so in its memorandum of association or bye-laws pursuant to section 42A of the Companies Act.

(d) Dividends and distributions

A company may not declare or pay a dividend, or make a distribution out of contributed surplus, if there are reasonable grounds for believing that (i) the company is, or would after the payment be, unable to pay its liabilities as they become due; or (ii) the realisable value of the company’s assets would thereby be less than the aggregate of its liabilities and its issued share capital and share premium accounts. Contributed surplus is defined for purposes of section 54 of the Companies Act to include the proceeds arising from donated shares, credits resulting from the redemption or conversion of shares at less than the amount set up as nominal capital and donations of cash and other assets to the company.

(e) Protection of minorities

Class actions and derivative actions are generally not available to shareholders under the laws of Bermuda. The Bermuda courts, however, would ordinarily be expected to permit a shareholder to commence an action in the name of a company to remedy a wrong done to the company where the act complained of is alleged to be beyond the corporate power of the company or is illegal or would result in the violation of the company’s memorandum of association and bye-laws. Furthermore, consideration would be given by the court to acts that are alleged to constitute a fraud against the minority shareholders or, for instance, where an act requires the approval of a greater percentage of the company’s shareholders than actually approved it.

Any member of a company who complains that the affairs of the company are being conducted or have been conducted in a manner oppressive or prejudicial to the interests of some part of the members, including himself, may petition the court which may, if it is of the opinion that to wind up the company would unfairly prejudice that part of the members but that otherwise the facts would justify the making of a winding up order on just and equitable grounds, make such order as it thinks fit, whether for regulating the conduct of the company’s affairs in future or for the purchase of shares of any members of the company by other members of the company or by the company itself and in the case of a purchase by the company itself, for the reduction accordingly of the company’s capital, or otherwise. Bermuda law also provides that the company may be wound up by the Bermuda court, if the court is of the opinion that it is just and equitable to do so. Both these provisions are available to minority shareholders seeking relief from the oppressive conduct of the majority, and the court has wide discretion to make such orders as it thinks fit.

Except as mentioned above, claims against a company by its shareholders must be based on the general laws of contract or tort applicable in Bermuda.

APPENDIX VI

SUMMARY OF THE CONSTITUTION OF THE COMPANY AND BERMUDA COMPANY LAW

A statutory right of action is conferred on subscribers of shares in a company against persons, including directors and officers, responsible for the issue of a prospectus in respect of damage suffered by reason of an untrue statement therein, but this confers no right of action against the company itself. In addition, such company, as opposed to its shareholders, may take action against its officers including directors, for breach of their statutory and fiduciary duty to act honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the company.

(f) Management

The Companies Act contains no specific restrictions on the power of directors to dispose of assets of a company, although it specifically requires that every officer of a company, which includes a director, managing director and secretary, in exercising his powers and discharging his duties must do so honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the company and exercise the care, diligence and skill that a reasonably prudent person would exercise in comparable circumstances. Furthermore, the Companies Act requires that every officer should comply with the Companies Act, regulations passed pursuant to the Companies Act and the bye-laws of the company. The directors of a company may, subject to the bye-laws of the company, exercise all the powers of the company except those powers that are required by the Companies Act or the bye-laws to be exercised by the members of the company.

(g) Accounting and auditing requirements

The Companies Act requires a company to cause proper records of accounts to be kept with respect to (i) all sums of money received and expended by the company and the matters in respect of which the receipt and expenditure takes place; (ii) all sales and purchases of goods by the company and (iii) the assets and liabilities of the company.

Furthermore, it requires that a company keeps its records of account at the registered office of the company or at such other place as the directors think fit and that such records shall at all times be open to inspection by the directors or the resident representative of the company. If the records of account are kept at some place outside Bermuda, there shall be kept at the office of the company in Bermuda such records as will enable the directors or the resident representative of the company to ascertain with reasonable accuracy the financial position of the company at the end of each three month period, except that where the company is listed on an appointed stock exchange, there shall be kept such records as will enable the directors or the resident representative of the company to ascertain with reasonable accuracy the financial position of the company at the end of each six month period.

The Companies Act requires that the directors of the company must, at least once a year, lay before the company in general meeting financial statements for the relevant accounting period. Further, the company’s auditor must audit the financial statements so as to enable him to report to the members. Based on the results of his audit, which must be made in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the auditor must then make a report to the members. The generally accepted auditing standards may be those of a country or jurisdiction other than Bermuda or such other generally accepted auditing standards as may be appointed by the Minister of Finance of Bermuda under the Companies Act; and where the generally accepted auditing standards used are other than those of Bermuda, the report of the auditor shall identify the generally accepted auditing standards used. All members of the company are entitled to receive a copy of every financial statement prepared in accordance with these requirements, at least five

SUMMARY OF THE CONSTITUTION OF THE COMPANY AND BERMUDA COMPANY LAW

(5) days before the general meeting of the company at which the financial statements are to be tabled. A company the shares of which are listed on an appointed stock exchange may send to its members summarized financial statements instead. The summarized financial statements must be derived from the company’s financial statements for the relevant period and contain the information set out in the Companies Act. The summarized financial statements sent to the company’s members must be accompanied by an auditor’s report on the summarized financial statements and a notice stating how a member may notify the company of his election to receive financial statements for the relevant period and/or for subsequent periods.

The summarized financial statements together with the auditor’s report thereon and the accompanied notice must be sent to the members of the company not less than twenty-one (21) days before the general meeting at which the financial statements are laid. Copies of the financial statements must be sent to a member who elects to receive the same within seven (7) days of receipt by the company of the member’s notice of election.

(h) Auditors

At each annual general meeting, a company must appoint an auditor to hold office until the close of the next annual general meeting; however, this requirement may be waived if all of the shareholders and all of the directors, either in writing or at the general meeting, agree that there shall be no auditor.

A person, other than an incumbent auditor, shall not be capable of being appointed auditor at an annual general meeting unless notice in writing of an intention to nominate that person to the office of auditor has been given not less than twenty-one (21) days before the annual general meeting. The company must send a copy of such notice to the incumbent auditor and give notice thereof to the members not less than seven (7) days before the annual general meeting. An incumbent auditor may, however, by notice in writing to the secretary of the company waive the requirements of the foregoing.

Where an auditor is appointed to replace another auditor, the new auditor must seek from the replaced auditor a written statement as to the circumstances of the latter’s replacement. If the replaced auditor does not respond within fifteen (15) days, the new auditor may act in any event. An appointment as auditor of a person who has not requested a written statement from the replaced auditor is voidable by a resolution of the shareholders at a general meeting. An auditor who has resigned, been removed or whose term of office has expired or is about to expire, or who has vacated office is entitled to attend the general meeting of the company at which he is to be removed or his successor is to be appointed; to receive all notices of, and other communications relating to, that meeting which a member is entitled to receive; and to be heard at that meeting on any part of the business of the meeting that relates to his duties as auditor or former auditor.

(i) Exchange control

An exempted company is usually designated as “non-resident” for Bermuda exchange control purposes by the Bermuda Monetary Authority. Where a company is so designated, it is free to deal in currencies of countries outside the Bermuda exchange control area which are freely convertible into currencies of any other country. The permission of the Bermuda Monetary Authority is required for the issue of shares and securities by the company and the subsequent transfer of such shares and securities.

APPENDIX VI

SUMMARY OF THE CONSTITUTION OF THE COMPANY AND BERMUDA COMPANY LAW

In granting such permission, the Bermuda Monetary Authority accepts no responsibility for the financial soundness of any proposals or for the correctness of any statements made or opinions expressed in any document with regard to such issue. Before the company can issue or transfer any further shares and securities in excess of the amounts already approved, it must obtain the prior consent of the Bermuda Monetary Authority.

The Bermuda Monetary Authority has granted general permission for the issue and transfer of shares and securities to and between persons regarded as resident outside Bermuda for exchange control purposes without specific consent for so long as any equity securities, including shares, are listed on an appointed stock exchange (as defined in the Companies Act). Issues to and transfers involving persons regarded as “resident” for exchange control purposes in Bermuda will be subject to specific exchange control authorisation.

(j) Taxation

Under present Bermuda law, no Bermuda withholding tax on dividends or other distributions, nor any Bermuda tax computed on profits or income or on any capital asset, gain or appreciation will be payable by an exempted company or its operations, nor is there any Bermuda tax in the nature of estate duty or inheritance tax applicable to shares, debentures or other obligations of the company held by non-residents of Bermuda. Furthermore, a company may apply to the Minister of Finance of Bermuda for an assurance, under the Exempted Undertakings Tax Protection Act 1966 of Bermuda, that no such taxes shall be so applicable until 28th March 2016, although this assurance will not prevent the imposition of any Bermuda tax payable in relation to any land in Bermuda leased or let to the company or to persons ordinarily resident in Bermuda.

(k) Stamp duty

An exempted company is exempt from all stamp duties except on transactions involving “Bermuda property”. This term relates, essentially, to real and personal property physically situated in Bermuda, including shares in local companies (as opposed to exempted companies). Transfers of shares and warrants in all exempted companies are exempt from Bermuda stamp duty.

(l) Loans to directors

Bermuda law prohibits the making of loans by a company to any of its directors or to their families or companies in which they hold more than a twenty per cent. (20%) interest, without the consent of any member or members holding in aggregate not less than nine-tenths of the total voting rights of all members having the right to vote at any meeting of the members of the company. These prohibitions do not apply to (a) anything done to provide a director with funds to meet the expenditure incurred or to be incurred by him for the purposes of the company, provided that the company gives its prior approval at a general meeting or, if not, the loan is made on condition that it will be repaid within six months of the next following annual general meeting if the loan is not approved at or before such meeting, (b) in the case of a company whose ordinary business includes the lending of money or the giving of guarantees in connection with loans made by other persons, anything done by the company in the ordinary course of that business, or (c) any advance of moneys by the company to any officer or auditor under Section 98(2)(c) of the Companies Act which allows the company to advance moneys to an officer or auditor of the

company for the costs incurred in defending any civil or criminal proceedings against them, on condition that the officer or auditor shall repay the advance if any allegation of fraud or dishonesty is proved against them. If the approval of the company is not given for a loan, the directors who authorised it will be jointly and severally liable for any loss arising therefrom.

(m) Inspection of corporate records

Members of the general public have the right to inspect the public documents of a company available at the office of the Registrar of Companies in Bermuda which will include the company’s certificate of incorporation, its memorandum of association (including its objects and powers) and any alteration to the company’s memorandum of association. The members of the company have the additional right to inspect the bye-laws of a company, minutes of general meetings and the company’s audited financial statements, which must be presented to the annual general meeting. Minutes of general meetings of a company are also open for inspection by directors of the company without charge for not less than two (2) hours during business hours each day. The register of members of a company is open for inspection by members of the public without charge. The company is required to maintain its share register in Bermuda but may, subject to the provisions of the Companies Act, establish a branch register outside Bermuda. Any branch register of members established by the company is subject to the same rights of inspection as the principal register of members of the company in Bermuda. Any person may on payment of a fee prescribed by the Companies Act require a copy of the register of members or any part thereof which must be provided within fourteen (14) days of a request. Bermuda law does not, however, provide a general right for members to inspect or obtain copies of any other corporate records.

A company is required to maintain a register of directors and officers at its registered office and such register must be made available for inspection for not less than two (2) hours in each day by members of the public without charge. If summarized financial statements are sent by a company to its members pursuant to section 87A of the Companies Act, a copy of the summarized financial statements must be made available for inspection by the public at the registered office of the company in Bermuda.

(n) Winding up

A company may be wound up by the Bermuda court on application presented by the company itself, its creditors or its contributors. The Bermuda court also has authority to order winding up in a number of specified circumstances including where it is, in the opinion of the Bermuda court, just and equitable that such company be wound up.

A company may be wound up voluntarily when the members so resolve in general meeting, or, in the case of a limited duration company, when the period fixed for the duration of the company by its memorandum expires, or the event occurs on the occurrence of which the memorandum provides that the company is to be dissolved. In the case of a voluntary winding up, such company is obliged to cease to carry on its business from the time of passing the resolution for voluntary winding up or upon the expiry of the period or the occurrence of the event referred to above. Upon the appointment of a liquidator, the responsibility for the company’s affairs rests entirely in his hands and no future executive action may be carried out without his approval.

Where, on a voluntary winding up, a majority of directors make a statutory declaration of solvency, the winding up will be a members’ voluntary winding up. In any case where such declaration has not been made, the winding up will be a creditors’ voluntary winding up.

APPENDIX VI

SUMMARY OF THE CONSTITUTION OF THE COMPANY AND BERMUDA COMPANY LAW

In the case of a members’ voluntary winding up of a company, the company in general meeting must appoint one or more liquidators within the period prescribed by the Companies Act for the purpose of winding up the affairs of the company and distributing its assets. If the liquidator at any time forms the opinion that such company will not be able to pay its debts in full, he is obliged to summon a meeting of creditors.

As soon as the affairs of the company are fully wound up, the liquidator must make up an account of the winding up, showing how the winding up has been conducted and the property of the company has been disposed of, and thereupon call a general meeting of the company for the purposes of laying before it the account and giving an explanation thereof. This final general meeting requires at least one month’s notice published in an appointed newspaper in Bermuda.

In the case of a creditors’ voluntary winding up of a company, the company must call a meeting of creditors of the company to be summoned on the day following the day on which the meeting of the members at which the resolution for winding up is to be proposed is held. Notice of such meeting of creditors must be sent at the same time as notice is sent to members. In addition, such company must cause a notice to appear in an appointed newspaper on at least two occasions.

The creditors and the members at their respective meetings may nominate a person to be liquidator for the purposes of winding up the affairs of the company provided that if the creditors nominate a different person, the person nominated by the creditors shall be the liquidator. The creditors at the creditors’ meeting may also appoint a committee of inspection consisting of not more than five persons.

If a creditors’ winding up continues for more than one year, the liquidator is required to summon a general meeting of the company and a meeting of the creditors at the end of each year to lay before such meetings an account of his acts and dealings and of the conduct of the winding up during the preceding year. As soon as the affairs of the company are fully wound up, the liquidator must make an account of the winding up, showing how the winding up has been conducted and the property of the company has been disposed of, and thereupon shall call a general meeting of the company and a meeting of the creditors for the purposes of laying the account before such meetings and giving an explanation thereof.

5. GENERAL

Conyers Dill & Pearman, the Company’s legal advisers on Bermuda law, have sent to the Company a letter of advice summarising certain aspects of Bermuda company law. This letter, together with a copy of the Companies Act, is available for inspection as referred to in the paragraph headed “Documents available for inspection” in Appendix VIII. Any person wishing to have a detailed summary of Bermuda company law or advice on the differences between it and the laws of any jurisdiction with which he is more familiar is recommended to seek independent legal advice.

STATUTORY AND GENERAL INFORMATION

A. FURTHER INFORMATION ABOUT OUR GROUP

1. Incorporation of our Company

Our Company was incorporated in Bermuda under the Companies Act as an exempted company with limited liability on May 4, 2004 and was registered with the Registrar of Companies in Hong Kong as a non-Hong Kong company under Part XI of the Companies Ordinance on October 10, 2011.
