Make good escrow agreement

   
 

In connection with its entry into the Securities Purchase Agreement, on November 2, 2010, the Company entered into a make good escrow agreement (the “Make Good Escrow Agreement”) with Wisetop (the “Pledgor”), the Investors, Infinity I-China Fund (Cayman) L.P. and the escrow agent, pursuant to which the Pledgor agreed to certain “make good” provisions in the event that the Company does not meet certain income thresholds for fiscal years 2010 and/or 2011. Pursuant to the Make Good Escrow Agreement, the Pledgor established an escrow account and delivered to the escrow agent certificates evidencing 2,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock held by the Pledgor (the “Escrow Shares”) along with blank stock powers, to be held for the benefit of the Investors.

   
 

If the Company fails to report After Tax Net Income (“ATNI”) in the Annual Report of at least $8 million (the “2010 Guaranteed ATNI”) under U.S. GAAP for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010, as filed with the Securities Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on Form 10-K, the escrow agent shall transfer the 2010 Make Good Shares to the Investors on a pro rata basis for no consideration other than payment of their respective investment amount paid to the Company at the closing of the private placement (the “Closing”) and without any need for action or notice by or on behalf of any investor. The 2010 Make Good Shares are calculated based on the following formula, as equitably adjusted for any stock splits, stock combinations, stock dividends or similar transactions: ((2010 Guaranteed ATNI - 2010 audited ATNI)/$8 million) multiplied by 50% of the Escrow Shares.

   
 

If the Company fails to report ATNI in the Annual Report of at least $12 million (the “2011 Guaranteed ATNI”) under U.S. GAAP for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2011, as filed with the SEC on Form 10-K, the escrow agent shall transfer the 2011 Make Good Shares to the Investors on a pro rata basis for no consideration other than payment of their respective investment amount paid to the Company at the Closing and without any need for action or notice by or on behalf of any investor. The 2011 Make Good Shares are calculated based on the following formula, as equitably adjusted for any stock splits, stock combinations, stock dividends or similar transactions: ((2011 Guaranteed ATNI - 2011 audited ATNI)/$12 million) multiplied by 50% of the Escrow Shares.

   
 

If prior to the second anniversary of the filing of either of the 2010 Annual Report or 2011 Annual Report (as applicable), the Company or their auditors report or recognize that the financial statements contained in such report are subject to amendment or restatement such that the Company would recognize or report adjusted ATNI of less than either of the 2010 Guaranteed ATNI or the 2011 Guaranteed ATNI (as applicable), then notwithstanding any prior return of 2010 Make Good Shares and 2011 Make Good Shares to the Pledgor, the Pledgor shall , within 10 business days following the earlier of the filing of such amendment or restatement or recognition, deliver the relevant 2010 Make Good Shares and 2011 Make Good Shares to the Investors without any further action on the part of the Investors.

   
 

If the 2010 audited ATNI is equal to or greater than the 2010 Guaranteed ATNI, no transfer of the 2010 Make Good Shares shall be required by the Pledgor to the Investors and 50% of the Escrow Shares shall be promptly returned to the Pledgor without the need of any approval or consent thereto by any investor. The remaining 50% of the Escrow Shares shall continue to be held in escrow by the escrow agent. If the 2011 audited ATNI is equal to or greater than the 2011 Guaranteed ATNI, no transfer of the 2011 Make Good Shares shall be required by the Pledgor to the Investors and the remaining 50% of the Escrow Shares shall be promptly returned to the Pledgor without the need of any approval or consent thereto by any investor.

   
 

Pursuant to ASC 718-10-S99-2, the SEC staff generally believes that escrow arrangement, which is in substance an inducement made to facilitate the transaction on behalf of the issuer, should be recognized and measured according to its nature and reflected as a reduction of the proceeds allocated to the newly-issued securities. The Company considers the aforementioned escrow arrangement as an inducement to facilitate the private placement on behalf of the Company rather than as compensatory and accordingly, adopted ASC 718-10-S99-2 to recognize this arrangement. The management estimated the probability of the Company not achieving the 2010 Guaranteed ATNI and 2011 Guaranteed ATNI to be 10% (the “Probability %”) and calculated the fair value of the escrow arrangement with reference to the Probability % and the Placement Price. The calculated fair value of $640,000 was deducted from the placement proceeds with a corresponding credit in additional paid-in capital, resulting in no net change in the Company’s equity.

   
 

As the target was met for 2010 Guaranteed ATNI, 50% of the Escrow Shares or 1,000,000 shares were returned to stockholders during the three months ended March 31, 2011. The remaining 50% of the Escrow Shares will be released in the following year if the 2011 Guaranteed ATNI is also met.
