To the best of our knowledge after due inquiry, the equity interest in such registered capital is legally owned by such PRC Entity’s respective shareholder, and the registered capital of the PRC Entities is owned free and clear of any Encumbrance.

 

3.Corporate Structure

 

The descriptions of the corporate structure of the PRC Entities set forth in the Registration Statement are true and accurate and nothing has been omitted from such descriptions which would make the same misleading in any material respect.

4.Filing of Securities Offering and Listing

 

On February 17, 2023, the CSRC announced the Circular on the Administrative Arrangements for Filing of Securities Offering and Listing By Domestic Companies, or the Circular, and released a set of new regulations which consists of the Trial Administrative Measures of Overseas Securities Offering and Listing by Domestic Companies and five supporting guidelines (the “Trial Measures”), which came into effect on March 31, 2023, refine the regulatory system by subjecting both direct and indirect overseas offering and listing activities to the CSRC filing-based administration. This Offering and listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market are contingent on the Company’s completion of the filing procedures with the CSRC under the Trial Measures. The Company has completed the filing with the CSRC regarding the overseas listing application as of the date hereof.

 

5.Cybersecurity Review

 

The Cybersecurity Review Measures which came into effect on February 15, 2022, require online platform operators possessing personal information of more than one (1) million users to apply for the cybersecurity review for its overseas listing, and the cybersecurity review shall focus on the assessment of the impact or potential impact on the national security of the online platform operators’ data processing activities. As confirmed by the Company, the PRC Entities have not possessed personal information more than one (1) million users, therefore, application for the cybersecurity review is not required.

 

6.Legal Proceedings

 

(1) To the best knowledge after due inquiry and as confirmed by the Company, as of the date of this opinion, none of the PRC Entities has been involved in any legal or administrative litigation that may have a material adverse effect on the company’s business, balance sheet, operating performance and cash flow.

 

(2) To the best knowledge after due inquiry and as confirmed by the Company, (i) there has been no meeting convened and no order, petition or resolution passed for the winding-up, dissolution, liquidation, administration, amalgamation, merger or consolidation or any analogous procedure of the PRC Entities, or the appointment of a receiver of their assets; (ii) there is no action or legal, administrative, arbitration or other proceedings pending in the PRC to which any of the PRC Entities is a party, which might result in the winding-up, dissolution or liquidation of any of the PRC Entities, or the appointment of a receiver in respect of any of their property or assets; (iii) no notice of appointment of any receiver, administrator, liquidator, trustee, custodian or other similar officer has been served in respect of any of the PRC Entities; (iv) none of the PRC Entities has taken any action nor have any steps been taken, or are being taken, or legal proceedings been started against any of the PRC Entities for the suspension, withdrawal, revocation or cancellation of the business licence of any of the PRC Entities; (v) no judgment has been rendered declaring any of the PRC Entities bankrupt or involved in an insolvency proceeding.

 

7.M&A Rules.

 

Given that (i) Beijing Junxinyuan Technology Development Co., Ltd. was established as a wholly foreign-owned enterprise by means of direct investment rather than by merger or acquisition of the equity or assets of a “PRC domestic company” as defined under the M&A Rules; (ii) at the time of subscription of 1% increased capital of Julong Online (Beijing) Technology Development Co., Ltd. by Hong Kong Qinan Holding Limited, Hong Kong Qinan Holding Limited was a foreign investor and was independent from Julong Online (Beijing) Technology Development Co., Ltd. and its shareholder; and (iii) in the case of acquisition of 99% equity interest in Julong Online (Beijing) Technology Development Co., Ltd. by Beijing Junxinyuan Technology Development Co., Ltd., Julong Online (Beijing) Technology Development Co., Ltd. was a foreign invested company, the M&A Rules are not applicable in such circumstances, and the listing of the Company’s ordinary shares on the Nasdaq Capital Market does not require prior approvals from the CSRC and MOFCOM under the M&A Rules. However, uncertainties still exist as to how the M&A Rules will be interpreted or implemented and our opinion stated above is subject to any new laws, rules and regulations or detailed implementations and interpretations in any form relating to the M&A Rules.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

8.Taxation.

 

The statements made in the Registration Statement under the caption “Taxation”, with respect to the PRC tax laws and regulations or interpretations, constitute true and accurate descriptions of the matters described therein in all material respects and such statements constitute our opinion.

 

9.Enforceability of Civil Procedures.

 

The recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments are provided for under the PRC Civil Procedures Law. PRC courts may recognize and enforce foreign judgments in accordance with the requirements of the PRC Civil Procedures Law based either on treaties between China and the country where the judgment is made or on principles of reciprocity between jurisdictions. China does not have any treaties or other form of reciprocity with the United States or the Cayman Islands that provides for the recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments. In addition, according to the PRC Civil Procedures Law, courts in the PRC will not enforce a foreign judgment against a company or its directors and officers if such PRC courts decide that the judgment violates the basic principles of PRC laws or national sovereignty, security or public interest. As a result, it is uncertain whether and on what basis a PRC court would enforce a judgment rendered by a court in the United States or in the Cayman Islands.

 

10.Foreign Exchange Registration

 

Each of the individual shareholders who are PRC domestic residents of the Company has respectively completed relevant registration or filing under the SAFE Circular 37, for his/her ownership interest in the Company.

 

11.Intellectual Property

 

To the best of our knowledge after due inquiry, (i) [the PRC Entities own, or have rights to use under licence, all intellectual properties in the Prospectus] free and clear in all material respects of all Encumbrances; (ii) there are no actions, suits or proceedings (legal, administrative, governmental, arbitral or otherwise) current, pending, or threatened in the PRC, which are against or affecting such intellectual properties, whether or not arising in the ordinary course of business, which would, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

12.No Sovereign Immunity

 

Under the PRC Laws, none of the PRC Entities, or any of their respective properties, assets or revenues, is entitled to any right of immunity on the grounds of sovereignty or otherwise from any legal action, suit or proceeding, set-off or counterclaim, the jurisdiction of any court in the PRC, service of process, attachment prior to or in aid of execution of judgment, or other legal process or proceeding for the granting of any relief or the enforcement of any judgment.
