In September 2008, China United Financial Services Holdings Limited (“CUFS”) distributed all of the 208,199,680 ordinary shares of the Issuer it then held to its shareholders, including CAA Holdings Company Limited (“CAA”), on a pro rata basis. After such distribution, CUFS no longer owned any ordinary shares of the Issuer.

In connection with the distribution described in Note (2) above, CAA designated its shareholders as the recipients, on a pro rata basis, of the ordinary shares of the Issuer distributed to it by CUFS. After such distribution, CAA no longer owned any ordinary shares of the Issuer.
 
(4)  
In October 2008, for purpose of consolidating their shareholdings in the Issuer under one holding company, Mr. Hu and four other employees of the Issuer transferred to Kingsford all of the ordinary shares of the Issuer they received as shareholders of CAA in the distribution described in Notes (2) and (3) above. In exchange for these transfers, the five transferees received newly issued Kingsford shares. Mr. Hu then transferred the new Kingsford shares he received to High Rank, an existing shareholder of Kingsford, in exchange for newly issued shares of High Rank. Meanwhile, the four other employees transferred their new Kingsford shares to Better Rise Investments Limited (“Better Rise”), another existing shareholder of Kingsford, in exchange for newly issued shares of Better Rise. As a result of these transfers, the number of ordinary shares of the Issuer directly held by Kingsford increased from 167,778,395 to 237,129,009.
 
(5)  
High Rank owns approximately 93.9% of the total outstanding shares of Kingsford. Pursuant to Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules promulgated thereunder, High Rank may be deemed to beneficially own all of the ordinary shares of the Issuer held by Kingsford. High Rank disclaims beneficial ownership of the ordinary shares of the Issuer held by Kingsford except to the extent of its pecuniary interest therein.
 
(6)  
Qiuping Lai owns approximately 12.4% of the total outstanding shares of High Rank. Pursuant to Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules promulgated thereunder, Mr. Lai may be deemed to beneficially own all of the ordinary shares of the Issuer held by Kingsford. Mr. Lai disclaims beneficial ownership of the ordinary shares of the Issuer held by Kingsford except to the extent of his pecuniary interest therein.
