NOTICE OF SPECIAL MEETING IN LIEU OF
ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS
TO BE HELD ON OCTOBER 20, 2015

TO THE STOCKHOLDERS OF SINO MERCURY ACQUISITION CORP.:

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that a special meeting in lieu of annual meeting of stockholders of Sino Mercury Acquisition Corp. (“Sino”), a Delaware corporation, will be held at 10:00 a.m. eastern time, on October 20, 2015, at the offices of Graubard Miller, Sino’s counsel, at The Chrysler Building, 405 Lexington Avenue, 11 th Floor, New York, New York 10174. You are cordially invited to attend the special meeting, which will be held for the following purposes:

(1)    to consider and vote upon a proposal to adopt the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, dated as of April 24, 2015 and amended on May 5, 2015, by and among Sino, Wins Finance Holdings Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Sino (“Holdco”), Wins Finance Group Ltd. (“WFG”) and the shareholders of WFG, which, among other things, provides for (a) the merger of Sino with and into Holdco, with Holdco surviving the merger and (b) an exchange by the shareholders of WFG of 100% of the ordinary shares of WFG for cash and ordinary shares of Holdco, and to approve the business combination contemplated by such agreement — we refer to this proposal as the “merger proposal”;

(2)    to consider and vote upon separate proposals to approve the following material differences between the constitutional documents of Holdco and Sino: (i) the name of the new public entity will be “Wins Finance Holdings Inc.” as opposed to “Sino Mercury Acquisition Corp.”; (ii) Holdco has 100,000,000 authorized ordinary shares and 1,000,000 authorized preferred shares, as opposed to Sino having 25,000,000 authorized shares of common stock and 1,000,000 authorized shares of preferred stock; (iii) Holdco’s corporate existence is perpetual as opposed to Sino’s corporate existence terminating if a business combination is not consummated by Sino within a specified period of time; and (iv) Holdco’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association do not include the various provisions applicable only to specified purpose acquisition corporations that Sino’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation contains — we refer to these proposals collectively as the “charter proposals”;

(3)    to consider and vote upon a proposal to approve the adoption of the 2015 Long-Term Incentive Equity Plan — we refer to this proposal as the “incentive compensation plan proposal”; and

(4)    to consider and vote upon a proposal to adjourn the special meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary, to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies if, based upon the tabulated vote at the time of the special meeting, Sino is not authorized to consummate the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement — we refer to this proposal as the “adjournment proposal.”

These items of business are described in the attached proxy statement/prospectus, which we encourage you to read in its entirety before voting. Only holders of record of Sino common stock at the close of business on September 18, 2015 are entitled to notice of the special meeting and to vote and have their votes counted at the special meeting and any adjournments or postponements of the special meeting.

After careful consideration, Sino’s board of directors has determined that the merger proposal, the charter proposals, the incentive compensation plan proposal, and the adjournment proposal are fair to and in the best interests of Sino and its stockholders and unanimously recommends that you vote or give instruction to vote “FOR” the merger proposal, “FOR” the charter proposals “FOR” the incentive compensation plan proposal and “FOR” the adjournment proposal, if presented.

Under the merger agreement, the approval of the charter proposals is a condition to the consummation of the transactions. Accordingly, if any one of the merger proposal or the charter proposals is not approved, the incentive compensation plan proposal will not be presented to the stockholders for a vote.

 

All Sino stockholders are cordially invited to attend the special meeting in person. To ensure your representation at the special meeting, however, you are urged to complete, sign, date and return the enclosed proxy card as soon as possible. If you are a stockholder of record of Sino common stock, you may also cast your vote in person at the special meeting. If your shares are held in an account at a brokerage firm or bank, you must instruct your broker or bank on how to vote your shares or, if you wish to attend the special meeting and vote in person, obtain a proxy from your broker or bank. If you do not vote or do not instruct your broker or bank how to vote, it will have the same effect as voting against the charter amendments proposal, but will have no effect on the other proposals.

A complete list of Sino stockholders of record entitled to vote at the special meeting will be available for ten days before the special meeting at the principal executive offices of Sino for inspection by stockholders during ordinary business hours for any purpose germane to the special meeting.

Your vote is important regardless of the number of shares you own. Whether you plan to attend the special meeting or not, please sign, date and return the enclosed proxy card as soon as possible in the envelope provided. If your shares are held in “street name” or are in a margin or similar account, you should contact your broker to ensure that votes related to the shares you beneficially own are properly counted.

Thank you for your participation. We look forward to your continued support.

SUBJECT TO COMPLETION, DATED SEPTEMBER 11, 2015

PROXY STATEMENT FOR SPECIAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS OF

SINO MERCURY ACQUISITION CORP.

PROSPECTUS FOR UP TO 5,739,135 ORDINARY SHARES
OF
WINS FINANCE HOLDINGS INC.

The board of directors of each of Sino Mercury Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (“Sino”), and Sino’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Wins Finance Holdings Inc., a Cayman Islands exempted company (“Holdco”), has unanimously approved the merger of Sino and Holdco (“merger”), with Holdco surviving the merger, and immediately following the merger, an exchange of 100% of the ordinary shares of Wins Finance Group Ltd. (“WFG”) by the shareholders of WFG for cash and ordinary shares of Holdco (“share exchange”), all pursuant to the terms of an agreement and plan of reorganization, dated April 24, 2015 and amended on May 5, 2015 (“merger agreement”), by and among Sino, Holdco, WFG and the shareholders of WFG.

In the merger, Holdco will issue (a) one ordinary share for each outstanding share of common stock of Sino, and (b) one tenth of one ordinary share for each outstanding right of Sino. Accordingly, this prospectus covers an aggregate of 5,739,135 ordinary shares to be issued by Holdco as a result of the merger. The 5,739,135 ordinary shares to be issued include 5,310,125 shares issuable in exchange for all of the outstanding shares of common stock of Sino and 429,010 shares issuable in exchange for all of the outstanding Sino rights.

Proposals to approve the merger agreement and the other matters discussed in this proxy statement/prospectus will be presented at the special meeting of stockholders of Sino scheduled to be held on October 20, 2015.

Sino’s units, common stock and rights are currently listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbols SMACU, SMAC and SMACR, respectively. Holdco will apply for listing, to be effective at the time of the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, of its ordinary shares on Nasdaq under the proposed symbol WINS. Holdco will not have units or rights traded following consummation of the transactions as the Sino rights entitle the holder to receive one-tenth of a Holdco share upon consummation of the business combination with WFG and the Sino units are comprised of shares and rights, which rights will no longer trade. It is a condition of the consummation of the transactions that Holdco receive confirmation from Nasdaq that the combined company meets the listing conditions of the exchange, except for the number of round lot holders, but there can be no assurance such listing conditions will be met or that Holdco will obtain such confirmation from Nasdaq. If such listing conditions are not met or if such confirmation is not obtained, these transactions will not be consummated unless the Nasdaq condition set forth in the merger agreement is waived by the parties.

Each of Sino and Holdco is an “emerging growth company” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 and has elected to comply with certain reduced public company reporting requirements.

This proxy statement/prospectus provides you with detailed information about the merger, share exchange and other matters to be considered at the special meeting of Sino’s stockholders. We encourage you to carefully read this entire document and the documents incorporated by reference. You should also carefully consider the risk factors described in “ Risk Factors” beginning on page 27 of this proxy statement/prospectus.

These securities have not been approved or disapproved by the Securities and Exchange Commission or any state securities commission nor has the Securities and Exchange Commission or any state securities commission passed upon the accuracy or adequacy of this proxy statement/prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

This proxy statement/prospectus is dated September [•], 2015, and is first being mailed to Sino securityholders on or about September [•], 2015.

SUMMARY OF THE MATERIAL TERMS OF THE TRANSACTIONS

•       The parties to the merger agreement are Sino Mercury Acquisition Corp. (“Sino”), Wins Finance Holdings Inc., Sino’s wholly-owned subsidiary (“Holdco”), Wins Finance Group Ltd. (“WFG”) and the shareholders of WFG. Pursuant to the merger agreement, (1) Sino will merge with and into Holdco, with Holdco surviving (the “merger”), and (2) immediately following the merger, the WFG shareholders will exchange 100% of the ordinary shares of WFG for cash and ordinary shares of Holdco (the “share exchange” and together with the merger, the “transactions”). See the section entitled “ The Merger Proposal .”

•       WFG is an integrated financing solution provider with operations located primarily in Jinzhong City, Shanxi Province and Beijing, China. WFG’s goal is to assist Chinese small & medium enterprises (“SMEs”), including microenterprises, which have limited access to financing, to improve their overall fund-raising capability and enable them to obtain funding for business development. See the section entitled “ Business of WFG .”

•       Under the merger agreement, upon the consummation of the merger (1) each share of Sino common stock will be exchanged for one ordinary share of Holdco, except that holders, or “public stockholders,” of shares of Sino’s common stock sold in its initial public offering, or “public shares,” shall be entitled to elect instead to receive a pro rata portion of Sino’s trust account, as provided in Sino’s charter documents (up to a maximum of approximately $30.8 million), and (2) each Sino right will be exchanged for one-tenth of one share of Holdco. However, pursuant to the merger agreement, no fractional shares will be issued by virtue of the merger. If a holder would be entitled to receive a fractional share, the holder will receive, in lieu of such fractional share, an amount in cash without interest determined by multiplying the closing sale price of a share of Sino’s common stock on the trading day immediately preceding the closing date by the fraction of Holdco ordinary shares to which such holder would otherwise have been entitled. See the section entitled “ The Merger Proposal — Structure of the Transaction .”

•       Under the merger agreement, upon consummation of the share exchange, WFG shareholders will receive (1) an amount of cash remaining in Sino’s trust fund after payment of all amounts to public stockholders that exercise their conversion rights, less $5,000,000 (“cash consideration”), provided that the cash consideration shall not exceed $25,000,000, and (2) a number of ordinary shares of Holdco equal to $168,000,000 less the cash consideration, divided by $10.00 (“stock consideration”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the WFG shareholders shall have the option to forego receiving any cash consideration and instead receive such consideration in additional ordinary shares of Holdco. If the WFG shareholders were to forego receiving all of the cash consideration, they would receive up to an additional 2,500,000 ordinary shares of Holdco. See the section entitled “ The Merger Proposal — Structure of the Transaction .”

•       To provide a fund for payment to Holdco with respect to its post-closing rights to indemnification under the merger agreement for any breaches of representations and warranties and covenants by WFG and its shareholders and for certain other indemnifiable matters, there will be placed in escrow (with an independent escrow agent) 10% of the stock consideration issuable to the WFG shareholders at closing. The shares to be placed in escrow will be allocated among the WFG shareholders pro rata in proportion to the number of shares of WFG owned by them immediately prior to the closing of the transactions. See the section entitled “ The Merger Proposal — Indemnification of Holdco .”

•       In addition to voting on the transactions, the stockholders of Sino will vote on the following separate proposals to approve the following material differences between the constitutional documents of Holdco and Sino: (i) the name of the new public entity will be “Wins Finance Holdings Inc.” as opposed to “Sino Mercury Acquisition Corp.”; (ii) Holdco has 100,000,000 authorized ordinary shares and 1,000,000 authorized preferred shares, as opposed to Sino having 25,000,000 authorized shares of common stock and 1,000,000 authorized shares of preferred stock; (iii) Holdco’s corporate existence is perpetual as opposed to Sino’s corporate existence terminating if a business combination is not consummated by Sino within a specified period of time; and (iv) Holdco’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association do not include the various provisions applicable only to specified purpose acquisition corporations that Sino’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation contains. See the section entitled “ The Charter Proposals .”

1

•       The merger agreement provides that either Sino or WFG may terminate the agreement if the transactions are not consummated by December 31, 2015. Additionally, the merger shall not be consummated if Sino’s public stockholders do not approve the merger or holders of more than 3,080,100 of Sino’s public shares (representing approximately 75.5% of Sino’s public shares) validly exercise their conversion rights. Additionally, the merger agreement may be terminated, among other reasons, by either Sino or WFG upon material breach of the other party. See the section entitled “ The Merger Agreement — Termination .”

•       After the transactions, the directors of Holdco will be Jianming Hao, Richard Xu, Bradley Reifler, Nicholas Clements (Non-executive Vice Chairman) and Dr. Jingxiao Zhang. Mr. Hao is currently the Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of Sino, Mr. Xu is currently the President and a director of Sino and the sole officer of Holdco and Mr. Reifler is currently a director of Sino. Neither Messrs. Hao, Xu nor Reifler has received or will receive any compensation as an executive officer of Sino. After the transactions, Messrs. Clements, Reifler and Zhang will be considered independent directors under the rules of the Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”). See the section entitled “ Management of Holdco Following the Transactions .”

•       Upon completion of the transactions, the executive officers of both Holdco and WFG will be Jianming Hao, Chairman and Co-Chief Executive Officer, Renhui Mu, Co-Chief Executive Officer and Chief Operating Officer, Richard Xu, President, and Peiling (Amy) He, Chief Financial Officer. Holdco will enter into employment agreements with Messrs. Hao, Mu, Xu and Ms. He in connection with the consummation of the transactions. See the section entitled “ Management of Holdco Following the Transactions .”

•       The WFG shareholders will not be able to sell any of the ordinary shares of Holdco that they receive as a result of the share exchange until the day preceding the day that is twelve months after the consummation of the transactions (subject to limited exceptions). The restriction on sales will end earlier than such date with respect to 50% of the shares if the closing price of the Holdco ordinary shares exceeds $13.00 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period following the consummation of the transactions. Each WFG shareholder will be required to enter into a lock-up agreement to such effect as a condition to exchanging their shares of WFG for the merger consideration. These lock-up provisions are substantively identical to the restrictions on transfer imposed on the holders of Sino’s common stock prior to its initial public offering (the “initial stockholders”) and may be waived only with the consent of disinterested members of the Board of Directors of Holdco. Holdco will enter into an amended and restated registration rights agreement at the closing of the transactions with the WFG shareholders. Under this agreement, the WFG securityholders will have certain “demand” and “piggyback” registration rights under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Securities Act”), with respect to the resale of Holdco ordinary shares issued to them in the share exchange. Notwithstanding such registration rights, the sale restrictions described above shall remain in effect until their expiration. See the section entitled “ The Merger Proposal — Sale Restriction; Resale Registration .”

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE PROPOSALS

Q.

 

Why am I receiving this proxy statement/prospectus?

 

A.

 

Sino and WFG have agreed to a business combination under the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, dated as of April 24, 2015 and amended on May 5, 2015, that is described in this proxy statement/prospectus. This agreement is referred to as the “merger agreement.” A copy of the merger agreement is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex A , and Sino encourages its stockholders to read it in its entirety. Sino’s stockholders are being asked to consider and vote upon a proposal to adopt the merger agreement, which, among other things, provides for (a) the merger of Sino with and into Holdco, with Holdco being the surviving entity and (b) immediately following the merger, the share exchange by the WFG shareholders of 100% of the ordinary shares of WFG held by them for cash and ordinary shares of Holdco, and to approve the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In addition to voting on the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, the stockholders of Sino will vote on separate proposals to approve the following material differences between the constitutional documents of Holdco and Sino: (i) the name of the new public entity will be “Wins Finance Holdings Inc.” as opposed to “Sino Mercury Acquisition Corp.”; (ii) Holdco has 100,000,000 authorized ordinary shares and 1,000,000 authorized preferred shares, as opposed to Sino having 25,000,000 authorized shares of common stock and 1,000,000 authorized shares of preferred stock; (iii) Holdco’s corporate existence is perpetual as opposed to Sino’s corporate existence terminating if a business combination is not consummated by Sino within a specified period of time; and (iv) Holdco’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association do not include the various provisions applicable only to specified purpose acquisition corporations that Sino’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation contains. See the section entitled “ The Charter Proposals .”

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sino’s stockholders are also being asked to consider and vote upon a proposal to approve the adoption of the 2015 Long-Term Equity Incentive Plan. See the section entitled “The Incentive Compensation Plan Proposal.”

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In addition to the foregoing proposals, the stockholders may also be asked to consider and vote upon a proposal to adjourn the meeting to a later date or dates to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies if, based upon the tabulated vote at the time of the special meeting, Sino would not have been authorized to consummate the transactions. See the section entitled “ The Adjournment Proposal .”

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Under the merger agreement, the approval of the charter proposals are a condition to the consummation of the merger and share exchange. Accordingly, if any one of the merger proposal or the charter proposals is not approved, the incentive compensation plan proposal will not be presented to the stockholders for a vote.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sino will hold the special meeting of its stockholders to consider and vote upon these proposals. This proxy statement/prospectus contains important information about the proposed transactions and the other matters to be acted upon at the special meeting. Stockholders should read it carefully.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The vote of stockholders is important. Stockholders are encouraged to vote as soon as possible after carefully reviewing this proxy statement/prospectus.

3

Q .

 

I am a Sino right holder. Why am I receiving this proxy statement/prospectus?

 

 

 

As a holder of Sino rights, you will be entitled to receive one-tenth of one ordinary share of Holdco for each right you hold upon consummation of the transactions. This proxy statement/prospectus includes important information about Holdco and the business of Holdco and its subsidiaries following consummation of the transactions, including WFG. Since holders of Sino rights will become holders of Holdco ordinary shares upon consummation of the transactions, we urge you to read the information contained in this proxy statement/prospectus carefully.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Q.

 

Why is Sino proposing
the merger?

 

A.

 

Sino was organized to effect a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition or other similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sino completed its initial public offering of units, with each unit consisting of one share of its common stock and one right convertible into one-tenth of one share of its common stock upon the consummation of a business combination, on September 2, 2014. Since the initial public offering, Sino’s activity has been limited to the evaluation of business combination candidates.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

WFG is an integrated financing solution provider with operations located primarily in Jinzhong City, Shanxi Province, and Beijing, China. WFG’s goal is to assist Chinese SMEs, including microenterprises, which have limited access to financing, to improve their overall fund-raising capability and enable them to obtain funding for business development. Based on its due diligence investigations of WFG and the industry in which it operates, including the financial and other information provided by WFG in the course of their negotiations, Sino believes that a business combination with WFG will provide Sino stockholders with an opportunity to participate in a company with significant growth potential. However, there is no assurance of this. See the section entitled “ The Merger Proposal — Sino’s Board of Directors’ Reasons for Approval of the Transactions .”

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Q.

 

Do I have conversion rights?

 

A.

 

If you are a holder of public shares, you have the right to demand that Sino convert such shares into cash provided that you vote either for or against the merger proposal. We sometimes refer to these rights to demand conversion of the public shares into a pro rata portion of the cash held in Sino’s trust account as “conversion rights.”

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a holder of public shares, together with any affiliate of his or any other person with whom he is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) will be restricted from seeking conversion rights with respect to 20% or more of the public shares. Accordingly, all public shares in excess of 20% held by a public stockholder will not be converted to cash.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Under Sino’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, the transactions may only be consummated if holders of no more than 3,080,100 of the public shares properly demand conversion of their shares into cash.

Q .

 

How do I exercise my conversion rights?

 

A.

 

If you are a holder of public shares and wish to exercise your conversion rights, you must (i) affirmatively vote either for or against the merger proposal, (ii) demand that Sino convert your shares into cash no later than the vote on the merger proposal, and (iii) deliver your stock to Sino’s transfer agent physically or electronically using Depository Trust Company’s DWAC (Deposit Withdrawal at Custodian) System at any time through the vote at the meeting. Accordingly, if you deliver your stock to Sino’s transfer agent after the vote has been completed, your shares will not be converted into cash. Any holder of public shares voting for or against the merger proposal will be entitled to demand that his shares be converted for a full pro rata portion of the amount then in the trust account (which was approximately $40.8 million, or $10.00 per share, as of September 18, 2015). Such amount, less any owed but unpaid taxes on the funds in the trust account, will be paid promptly upon consummation of the transactions. There are currently no owed but unpaid income taxes on the funds in the trust account. However, under Delaware law, the proceeds held in the trust account could be subject to claims which could take priority over those of Sino’s public stockholders exercising conversion rights, regardless of whether such holders vote for or against the merger proposal. Therefore, the per-share distribution from the trust account in such a situation may be less than originally anticipated due to such claims. Your vote on any proposal other than the merger proposal will have no impact on the amount you will receive upon exercise of your conversion rights .

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If you are a holder of public shares, you may demand conversion rights either by checking the box on the proxy card or by submitting your request in writing to Richard Xu, Sino’s secretary, at the address listed at the end of this section. If you (i) initially do not vote with respect to the merger proposal but then wish to vote for or against it, or (ii) wish to exercise your conversion rights but initially do not check the box on the proxy card providing for the exercise of your conversion rights and do not send a written request to Sino to exercise your conversion rights, you may request Sino to send you another proxy card on which you may indicate your intended vote or your intention to exercise your conversion rights. You may make such request by contacting Sino at the phone number or address listed at the end of this section.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Any request for conversion, once made by a holder of public shares, may be withdrawn at any time up to the time the vote is taken with respect to the merger proposal at the special meeting. If you deliver your shares for conversion to Sino’s transfer agent and later decide prior to the special meeting not to elect conversion, you may request that Sino’s transfer agent return the shares (physically or electronically). You may make such request by contacting Sino’s transfer agent at the phone number or address listed at the end of this section.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Any corrected or changed proxy card or written demand of conversion rights must be received by Sino’s secretary prior to the vote taken on the merger proposal at the special meeting. No demand for conversion will be honored unless the holder’s stock has been delivered (either physically or electronically) to the transfer agent at any time through the vote at the meeting.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If a holder of public shares votes for or against the merger proposal, demand is properly made and the stock is delivered as described above, then, if the transactions are consummated, Sino will convert these shares into a pro rata portion of funds deposited in the trust account. If you exercise your conversion rights, then you will be exchanging your shares of Sino common stock for cash and will not be entitled to Holdco ordinary shares upon consummation of the transactions.

5

 

 

 

 

 

 

If you are a holder of public shares and you exercise your conversion rights, it will not result in the loss of any Sino rights that you may hold. Your rights will be converted into one-tenth of one common share of Holdco upon consummation of the transactions.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Q.

 

Do I have appraisal rights if I object to the proposed transactions?

 

A.

 

No. Neither Sino stockholders nor Sino rights holders have appraisal rights in connection with the transactions under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (“DGCL”).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Q.

 

What happens to the funds deposited in the trust account after consummation of the transactions?

 

A.

 

Of the net proceeds of Sino’s initial public offering, $38,701,000, together with $2,100,000 raised from the private sale of units simultaneously with the consummation of the initial public offering, for a total of $40,801,000, were placed in the trust account immediately following the initial public offering. After consummation of the transactions, the funds in the trust account will be used by Holdco to pay holders of the public shares who exercise conversion rights, to pay the cash consideration to WFG’s shareholders, to pay expenses incurred in connection with the business combination with WFG, including deferred underwriting commissions of approximately $432,000 payable to Cantor Fitzgerald & Co., the underwriter in Sino’s initial public offering, and any remaining balance to be used for working capital and general corporate purposes, including funding for organic growth and potential acquisitions.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Q.

 

What happens if a substantial number of public stockholders vote in favor of the merger proposal and exercise their conversion rights?

 

 

 

Pursuant to Sino’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, all Sino public stockholders may vote in favor of the business combination and exercise their conversion rights; provided that Sino may not consummate the business combination if it has less than $5,000,001 of net tangible assets following consummation of the transactions. Accordingly, the transactions may be consummated even though the funds available from the trust account and the number of public stockholders are substantially reduced as a result of conversions by public stockholders. With fewer public shares and public stockholders, the trading market for Holdco’s ordinary shares may be less liquid than the market for Sino’s shares of common stock were prior to the transactions and Holdco may not be able to meet the listing standards for Nasdaq or another national securities exchange.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in connection with Sino’s initial public offering, a stockholder of Sino has agreed that it will vote 1,000,000 shares purchased in the initial public offering in favor of any proposed initial business combination and will not convert any such shares for cash from the trust account in connection with such a stockholder vote to approve the business combination. Accordingly, the requirements that Sino have at least $5,000,001 of net tangible assets following consummation of the transactions and holders of not more than 3,080,100 of the public shares exercise their conversion rights will be satisfied by this arrangement.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Q.

 

What happens if the transactions are not consummated?

 

A.

 

If the transactions are not consummated by December 31, 2015, either party may terminate the merger agreement. If Sino does not complete the business combination with WFG for whatever reason, Sino will commence a search for a new target business with which to consummate a business combination. If Sino is unable to consummate a business combination by September 1, 2016, Sino must redeem 100% of the outstanding public shares, at a per-share price equal to an amount then held in the trust account divided by the number of outstanding public shares.

6

Q.

 

When do you expect the transactions to be completed?

 

A.

 

It is currently anticipated that the transactions will be consummated promptly following the Sino special meeting which is set for October 20, 2015; however, such meeting could be adjourned, as described above. For a description of the conditions for the completion of the transactions, see the section entitled “ The Merger Agreement — Conditions to the Closing of the Transactions .”

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Q.

 

What do I need to do now?

 

A.

 

Sino urges you to read carefully and consider the information contained in this proxy statement/prospectus, including the annexes, and to consider how the transactions will affect you as a stockholder and/or rightholder of Sino. Stockholders should then vote as soon as possible in accordance with the instructions provided in this proxy statement/prospectus and on the enclosed proxy card.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Q.

 

How do I vote?

 

A.

 

If you are a holder of record of Sino common stock on the record date, you may vote in person at the special meeting or by submitting a proxy for the special meeting. You may submit your proxy by completing, signing, dating and returning the enclosed proxy card in the accompanying pre-addressed postage paid envelope. If you hold your shares in “street name,” which means your shares are held of record by a broker, bank or nominee, you should contact your broker to ensure that votes related to the shares you beneficially own are properly counted. In this regard, you must provide the broker, bank or nominee with instructions on how to vote your shares or, if you wish to attend the meeting and vote in person, obtain a proxy from your broker, bank or nominee.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Q.

 

If my shares are held in “street name,” will my broker, bank or nominee automatically vote my shares for me?

 

A.

 

No. Your broker, bank or nominee cannot vote your shares unless you provide instructions on how to vote in accordance with the information and procedures provided to you by your broker, bank or nominee.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Q.

 

May I change my vote after I have mailed my signed proxy card?

 

A.

 

Yes. Stockholders may send a later-dated, signed proxy card to Sino’s secretary at the address set forth below so that it is received by Sino’s secretary prior to the vote at the special meeting or attend the special meeting in person and vote. Stockholders also may revoke their proxy by sending a notice of revocation to Sino’s secretary, which must be received by Sino’s secretary prior to the vote at the special meeting.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Q.

 

What happens if I fail to take any action with respect to the meeting?

 

A.

 

If you fail to take any action with respect to the meeting and the transactions are approved by stockholders and consummated, you will become a shareholder of Holdco. As a corollary, failure to vote either for or against the merger proposal means you will not have any right in connection with the transaction merger to exchange your shares for a pro rata share of the funds held in Sino’s trust account. If you fail to take any action with respect to the meeting and the transactions are not approved, you will continue to be a stockholder and/or rightholder of Sino.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Q.

 

What should I do with my stock and/or rights certificates?

 

A.

 

Sino rights holders and those stockholders who do not elect to have their Sino shares converted into the pro rata share of the trust account should not submit their certificates now. After the consummation of the merger, Holdco’s transfer agent will send instructions to Sino securityholders regarding the exchange of their Sino securities for Holdco securities. Sino stockholders who exercise their conversion rights must deliver their stock certificates to Sino’s transfer agent (either physically or electronically) at any time through the vote at the meeting. Delivery of your stock certificates after the vote has been completed will result in you not being able to convert your stock to cash.

7

Q.

 

What should I do if I receive more than one set of voting materials?

 

A.

 

Stockholders may receive more than one set of voting materials, including multiple copies of this proxy statement/prospectus and multiple proxy cards or voting instruction cards. For example, if you hold your shares in more than one brokerage account, you will receive a separate voting instruction card for each brokerage account in which you hold shares. If you are a holder of record and your shares are registered in more than one name, you will receive more than one proxy card. Please complete, sign, date and return each proxy card and voting instruction card that you receive in order to cast a vote with respect to all of your Sino shares.

SUMMARY OF THE PROXY ST ATE MENT/PROSPECTUS

This summary highlights selected information from this proxy statement/prospectus and does not contain all of the information that is important to you. To better understand the proposals to be submitted for a vote at the special meeting, including the transactions, you should read this entire document carefully, including the merger agreement attached as Annex A to this proxy statement/prospectus. The merger agreement is the legal document that governs the transactions and the other transactions that will be undertaken in connection with the transactions.

The Parties

Sino

Sino Mercury Acquisition Corp. is a blank check company formed in order to effect a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition or other similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities. Sino was incorporated under the laws of Delaware on March 28, 2014.

On September 2, 2014, Sino closed its initial public offering of 4,000,000 units, with each unit consisting of one share of its common stock and one right to receive one-tenth of one share of common stock upon consummation of an initial business combination. On September 24, 2014, Sino consummated the sale of an additional 80,100 units which were subject to an over-allotment option granted to the underwriter of its initial public offering. The units from the initial public offering (including the over-allotment option) were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per unit, generating total gross proceeds of $40,801,000. Simultaneously with the consummation of the initial public offering, Sino consummated the private sale of 210,000 units to one of its initial stockholders at $10.00 per unit for an aggregate purchase price of $2,100,000. $38,701,000 of the net proceeds from the initial public offering, together with $2,100,000 raised from the private sale of units, for a total of $40,801,000, was deposited into the trust account and the remaining proceeds became available to be used as working capital to provide for business, legal and accounting due diligence on prospective business combinations and continuing general and administrative expenses. The initial public offering was conducted pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-1 (Reg. No. 333-197515) that became effective on August 26, 2014. As of [•], 2015, there was approximately $40,801,000 held in the trust account.

After consummation of the transactions, the funds in the trust account will be used by Holdco to pay holders of the public shares who exercise conversion rights, to pay the cash consideration to WFG’s shareholders, to pay expenses incurred in connection with the business combination with WFG, including deferred underwriting commissions of approximately $432,000 payable to Cantor Fitzgerald & Co., and any remaining balance to be used for working capital and general corporate purposes, including funding for organic growth and potential acquisitions.

WFG

WFG is an integrated financing solution provider with operations located primarily in Jinzhong City, Shanxi Province, and Beijing, China. WFG’s goal is to assist Chinese SMEs, including microenterprises, which have limited access to financing, to improve their overall fund-raising capability and enable them to obtain funding for business development. WFG was incorporated under the laws of the British Virgin Islands as an international business company on July 27, 2014.

WFG conducts its operation through the following three subsidiaries in the PRC and holds 100% of their equity interests through Full Shine Capital Resources Limited (“Full Shine”) and Shanxi Jinchen Agriculture Co., Ltd. (“Jinchen Agriculture”), its intermediate holding subsidiaries:

Jinshang International Financial Leasing Co., Ltd. (“Jinshang Leasing”) was incorporated on May 18, 2009 in Beijing under the laws of the PRC and is principally engaged in providing capital leasing services to SMEs and related financing advisory services in the PRC. Total assets and equity of Jinshang Leasing as of December 31, 2014 were $202.6 million and $34.5 million, respectively.

Box 957, Offshore Incorporations Centre, Road Town, Tortola, British Virgin Islands.

Emerging Growth Company

Each of Sino, Holdco and WFG is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (or JOBS Act). It is anticipated that after the consummation of the transactions, Holdco will continue to be an “emerging growth company.” As emerging growth companies, Sino, Holdco and WFG are eligible to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies. These include, but are not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and the requirement to obtain shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of an extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. Sino, Holdco and WFG have irrevocably opted not to take advantage of such extended transition period, and will be subject to the same new or revised accounting standards as other public companies that are not emerging growth companies.

Holdco could remain an emerging growth company until the last day of Holdco’s fiscal year following September 2, 2019 (the fifth anniversary of the consummation of its predecessor’s initial public offering). However, if Holdco’s non-convertible debt issued within a three-year period or its total revenues exceed $1 billion or the market value of its shares of common stock that are held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million on the last day of the second fiscal quarter of any given fiscal year, Holdco would cease to be an emerging growth company as of the following fiscal year.

The Merger Proposal

The merger agreement provides for (i) the merger of Sino with and into Holdco, with Holdco being the surviving entity, and (ii) immediately following the merger, the share exchange by the shareholders of WFG of 100% of the ordinary

10

shares of WFG for cash and ordinary shares of Holdco. The merger and share exchange are intended to be consummated at the same time. However, from a practical perspective, the documentation required to be filed with respect to the merger will be filed immediately prior to the documentation required to be filed with respect to the share exchange.

Under the merger agreement, upon the consummation of the merger (1) each share of Sino common stock will be exchanged for one ordinary share of Holdco, except that public stockholders shall be entitled to elect instead to receive a pro rata portion of Sino’s trust account, as provided in Sino’s charter documents, and (2) each Sino right will be exchanged for one-tenth of one share of Holdco.

Under the merger agreement, upon consummation of the share exchange, WFG shareholders will receive (1) an amount of cash remaining in Sino’s trust fund after payment of all amounts to public stockholders that exercise their conversion rights, less $5,000,000 (provided that the cash consideration shall not exceed $25,000,000) and (2) a number of ordinary shares of Holdco equal to $168,000,000 less the cash consideration, divided by $10.00. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the WFG shareholders shall have the option to forego receiving any cash consideration and instead receive such consideration in additional ordinary shares of Holdco. Each WFG shareholder may elect to forego receiving the cash consideration and instead receive additional ordinary shares of Holdco by delivering written notice to Sino of its election at least two business days prior to the closing of the share exchange. If the WFG shareholders were to forego receiving all of the cash consideration, they would receive up to an additional 2,500,000 ordinary shares of Holdco.

The WFG shareholders will not be able to sell any of the ordinary shares of Holdco that they receive as a result of the share exchange until the day preceding the day that is twelve months after the consummation of the transactions (subject to limited exceptions). The restriction on sales will end earlier than such date with respect to 50% of such shares if the closing price of the Holdco ordinary shares exceeds $13.00 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period following the consummation of the transactions. Each WFG shareholder will be required to enter into a lock-up agreement to such effect as a condition to exchanging their capital stock of WFG for the Holdco ordinary shares in connection with the share exchange. These lock-up provisions are substantively identical to the restrictions on transfer imposed on the Sino initial stockholders. See the section entitled “ The Merger Proposal — Structure of the Transaction ” for the more information.

To provide a fund for payment to Holdco with respect to its post-closing rights to indemnification under the merger agreement for breaches of representations and warranties and covenants by WFG and its shareholders and certain other indemnifiable matters, there will be placed in escrow (with an independent escrow agent) ordinary shares of Holdco equal to 10% of the stock consideration issuable to the WFG shareholders at closing. The aggregate liability for indemnification will not exceed the shares held in escrow. Other than with respect to actual fraud or intentional or willful misrepresentation or omission, Holdco’s rights to indemnification will be its sole remedy with respect to any and all claims for money damages arising out of or relating to the merger agreement. See the section entitled “ The Merger Proposal — Indemnification of Holdco .”

Sino and WFG plan to complete the transactions promptly after the Sino special meeting, provided that:

•       Sino’s stockholders have approved the merger proposal and charter proposals;

•       holders of no more than 3,080,100 of Sino’s public shares have exercised their conversion rights;

•       Holdco has received confirmation from Nasdaq that it meets all the requirements for listing on such exchange other than the requirement to have a sufficient number of round lot holders; and

•       the other conditions specified in the merger agreement have been satisfied or waived.

After consideration of the factors identified and discussed in the section entitled “ The Merger Proposal — Sino’s Board of Directors’ Reasons for Approval of the Transactions ,” Sino’s board of directors concluded that the transactions met all of the requirements disclosed in the prospectus for its initial public offering, including that the business of WFG had a fair market value of at least 80% of the balance of the funds in the trust account (exclusive of deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable) at the time of execution of the merger agreement.

As a result of the transactions, assuming that no stockholders of Sino elect to convert their public shares into cash in connection with the merger as permitted by Sino’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation and the WFG shareholders elect to receive all of the cash consideration, the WFG shareholders will own approximately 71.4% of the ordinary shares of Holdco to be outstanding immediately after the transactions and the former Sino stockholders

11

will own approximately 28.6% of Holdco’s outstanding ordinary shares. If the maximum number of Sino public shares are converted into cash and the WFG shareholders elect to forego receiving all the cash consideration, such percentages will be approximately 86.3% and 13.7%, respectively.

If the merger proposal is not approved by Sino’s stockholders at the special meeting, neither the charter proposals nor the incentive compensation plan proposal will be presented at the special meeting for a vote.

Opinion of Financial Advisor to the Board of Directors of Sino

Sino engaged Greater China Appraisal Limited, a Hong Kong-based appraisal firm (“GCA”), to render an opinion, as to (i) the fairness, from a financial point of view, to Sino of the merger consideration to be paid by Sino in the share exchange pursuant to the merger agreement and (ii) whether WFG had a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the balance of funds in the trust account (exclusive of deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable). GCA is a Hong Kong-based appraisal firm that regularly is engaged in the evaluation of businesses and securities in connection with acquisitions, corporate restructuring, private placements and for other purposes. Sino’s board of directors decided to use the services of GCA because of its expertise in appraising the value of enterprises in China.

GCA rendered its oral opinion to Sino’s board of directors on April 10, 2015 (which was subsequently confirmed in writing by delivery of GCA’s written opinion dated the same date) that, as of such date, (i) the merger consideration to be paid by Sino in the share exchange pursuant to the merger agreement was fair, from a financial point of view, to Sino and (ii) WFG had a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the balance of funds in the trust account (exclusive of deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable).

The amount of the consideration to be paid by Sino to WFG’s shareholders was determined pursuant to negotiations between Sino and WFG and not pursuant to recommendations of GCA.

The opinion was provided for the use and benefit of the Sino board in connection with its consideration of the transactions and only addressed (i) the fairness, from a financial point of view, to Sino of the merger consideration to be paid by Sino in the share exchange pursuant to the merger agreement and (ii) whether WFG had a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the balance of funds in the trust account (exclusive of deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable), in each case as of the date of the opinion, and did not address any other aspect or implication of the merger. The summary of GCA’s opinion in this proxy statement/prospectus is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the written opinion, which is included as Annex B to this proxy statement/prospectus and sets forth the procedures followed, assumptions made, qualifications and limitations on the review undertaken and other matters considered by GCA in preparing its opinion. However, neither GCA’s written opinion nor the summary of its opinion and the related analyses set forth in this proxy statement/prospectus are intended to be, and do not constitute, advice or a recommendation to any stockholder as to how such stockholder should act or vote with respect to any matter relating to the proposed transactions.

The Charter Proposals

In addition to voting on the transactions, the stockholders of Sino will vote on separate proposals to approve the following material differences between the constitutional documents of Holdco and Sino: (i) the name of the new public entity will be “Wins Finance Holdings Inc.” as opposed to “Sino Mercury Acquisition Corp.”; (ii) Holdco has 100,000,000 authorized ordinary shares and 1,000,000 authorized preferred shares, as opposed to Sino having 25,000,000 authorized shares of common stock and 1,000,000 authorized shares of preferred stock; (iii) Holdco’s corporate existence is perpetual as opposed to Sino’s corporate existence terminating if a business combination is not consummated by Sino within a specified period of time; and (iv) Holdco’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association do not include the various provisions applicable only to specified purpose acquisition corporations that Sino’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation contains. Holdco’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association to be in effect following consummation of the transactions is attached as Annex C to this proxy statement/prospectus. See the section entitled “ The Charter Proposals .”

The Incentive Compensation Plan Proposal

The proposed 2015 Long-Term Equity Incentive Plan will reserve up to 10% of Holdco ordinary shares following consummation of the transactions for issuance in accordance with the plan’s terms. The purpose of the 2015 Long-Term Equity Incentive Plan is to assist in attracting, retaining, motivating, and rewarding certain

key employees, officers, directors, and consultants of Holdco and its affiliates and promoting the creation of long-term value for shareholders of Holdco by closely aligning the interests of such individuals with those of other shareholders. The 2015 Long-Term Equity Incentive Plan authorizes the award of share-based incentives to encourage eligible employees, officers, directors, and consultants, as described below, to expend maximum effort in the creation of shareholder value. The plan is attached as Annex D to this proxy statement/prospectus. You are encouraged to read the 2015 Long-Term Equity Incentive Plan in its entirety.

The Adjournment Proposal

If, based on the tabulated vote, there are not sufficient votes at the time of the special meeting to authorize Sino to consummate the transactions (because the merger proposal is not approved or more than 3,080,100 of the holders of the public shares properly elect to convert their public shares into cash), Sino’s board of directors may submit a proposal to adjourn the special meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary, to permit further solicitation of proxies. See the section entitled “ The Adjournment Proposal .”

Sino Initial Stockholders

As of the record date for the Sino special meeting, Sino’s initial stockholders — Best Apex Limited, an affiliate of Jianming Hao, Lodestar Investment Holdings Corporation, an affiliate of Richard Xu, True Precision Investments Limited, an affiliate of Amy He, and Aimin Song and Bradley Reifler — beneficially owned and were entitled to vote an aggregate of 1,020,025 initial shares that were issued prior to Sino’s initial public offering. Best Apex Limited also purchased an aggregate of 210,000 private units simultaneously with the consummation of Sino’s initial public offering. The initial shares and the shares of common stock underlying the private units held by the Sino initial stockholders currently constitute approximately 23.2% of the outstanding shares of Sino’s common stock.

In connection with the initial public offering, each of the Sino initial stockholders agreed to vote the initial shares, the shares included in the private units, as well as any shares of common stock acquired in the aftermarket, in favor of the merger proposal. The Sino initial stockholders have also indicated that they intend to vote their shares in favor of all other proposals being presented at the meeting. The initial shares and shares included in the private units have no redemption rights in the event a business combination is not effected in the required time period and will be worthless if no business combination is effected by Sino. In connection with the initial public offering, the Sino initial stockholders entered into an escrow agreement pursuant to which their initial shares are held in escrow and may not be transferred (subject to limited exceptions) until with respect to 50% of the initial shares, the earlier of one year after the date of the consummation of an initial business combination and the date on which the closing price of our common stock exceeds $13.00 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period following the consummation of an initial business combination and, with respect to the remaining 50% of the initial shares, one year after the date of the consummation of an initial business combination, or earlier in each case if, subsequent to our initial business combination, we consummate a subsequent liquidation, merger, stock exchange or other similar transaction which results in all of our stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of common stock for cash, securities or other property.

Date, Time and Place of Special Meeting of Sino’s Stockholders

The special meeting in lieu of annual meeting of the stockholders of Sino will be held at 10:00 a.m., Eastern time, on October 20, 2015, at the offices of Graubard Miller, Sino’s counsel, at The Chrysler Building, 405 Lexington Avenue, 11 th Floor, New York, New York 10174, to consider and vote upon the merger proposal, the charter proposals, the incentive compensation plan proposal, and/or if necessary, the adjournment proposal to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies if, based upon the tabulated vote at the time of the special meeting, Sino is not authorized to consummate the transactions.

Voting Power; Record Date

Stockholders will be entitled to vote or direct votes to be cast at the special meeting if they owned shares of Sino common stock at the close of business on September 18, 2015, which is the record date for the special meeting. Stockholders will have one vote for each share of Sino common stock owned at the close of business on the record date. If your shares are held in “street name” or are in a margin or similar account, you should contact your broker to ensure that votes related to the shares you beneficially own are properly counted. Sino rights and purchase options

13

do not have voting rights. On the record date, there were 5,310,125 shares of Sino common stock outstanding, of which 4,080,100 were public shares with the rest being held by the Sino initial stockholders.

Quorum and Vote of Sino Stockholders

A quorum of Sino stockholders is necessary to hold a valid meeting. A quorum will be present at the Sino special meeting if a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote at the meeting are represented in person or by proxy. Abstentions and broker non-votes will count as present for the purposes of establishing a quorum. The Sino initial stockholders hold approximately 23.2% of the outstanding shares of Sino common stock, none of which are public shares. Such shares, as well as any shares of common stock acquired in the aftermarket by the Sino initial stockholders, will be voted in favor of the proposals presented at the special meeting. The proposals presented at the special meeting will require the following votes:

•       The approval of the merger proposal will require the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the then outstanding shares of common stock of Sino. There are currently 5,310,125 shares of Sino common stock outstanding. The transactions will not be consummated if the holders of more than 3,080,100 of the public shares properly demand conversion of their public shares into cash.

•       The approval of the charter proposals will require the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Sino common stock on the record date.

•       The approval of the incentive compensation plan proposal will require the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Sino common stock on the record date.

•       The approval of the adjournment proposal will require the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the then outstanding shares of common stock present and entitled to vote at the meeting.

Abstentions will have the same effect as a vote “against” the merger proposal, the charter proposals and the adjournment proposal, if presented. Broker non-votes, while considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum, will have no effect on the merger proposal, the charter proposals or an adjournment proposal. Please note that holders of the public shares cannot seek conversion of their shares unless they affirmatively vote for or against the merger proposal.

Under the merger agreement, the approval of the charter proposals is a condition to the consummation of the transactions. Accordingly, if any one of the merger proposal or the charter proposals is not approved, the incentive compensation plan proposal will not be presented to the stockholders for a vote.

Conversion Rights

Pursuant to Sino’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, a holder of public shares may demand that Sino convert such shares into cash if the transactions are consummated; provided that Sino may not consummate the business combination if it has less than $5,000,001 of net tangible assets following consummation of the transactions. Holders of public shares will be entitled to receive cash for these shares only if they (i) affirmatively vote either for or against the merger proposal, (ii) demand that Sino convert their shares into cash no later than the vote on the merger proposal, and (iii) deliver their stock to Sino’s transfer agent at any time through the vote at the meeting. Accordingly, if you deliver your stock to Sino’s transfer agent after the vote has been completed, your shares will not be converted into cash. If the transactions are not completed, these shares will not be converted into cash. If a holder of public shares properly demands conversion and votes for or against the merger proposal, Sino will convert each public share into a full pro rata portion of the trust account, calculated as of two business days prior to the anticipated consummation of the merger. As of September 18, 2015, this would amount to approximately $10.00 per share. If a holder of public shares exercises its conversion rights, then it will be exchanging its shares of Sino common stock for cash and will no longer own the shares. See the section entitled “ Special Meeting of Sino Stockholders — Conversion Rights ” for a detailed description of the procedures to be followed if you wish to convert your shares into cash.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a holder of public shares, together with any affiliate of his or any other person with whom he is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) will be restricted from seeking conversion rights with respect to 20.0% or more of the public shares. Accordingly, all public shares in excess of 20% held by a public stockholder will not be converted to cash.

The transactions will not be consummated if holders of more than 3,080,100 of the public shares (representing approximately 75% of the public shares) properly demand conversion of their shares into cash.

14

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in connection with Sino’s initial public offering, a stockholder of Sino has agreed that it will vote 1,000,000 shares purchased in the initial public offering in favor of any proposed initial business combination and will not convert any such shares for cash from the trust account in connection with such a stockholder vote to approve the business combination. Accordingly, the requirements that Sino have at least $5,000,001 of net tangible assets following consummation of the transactions and holders of not more than 3,080,100 of the public shares exercise their conversion rights will be satisfied by this arrangement.

Holders of Sino rights will not have conversion rights with respect to such rights.

Appraisal Rights

Sino stockholders (including the initial stockholders) and Sino rights holders do not have appraisal rights in connection with the transactions under the DGCL.

Proxy Solicitation

Proxies may be solicited by mail, telephone or in person.

If a stockholder grants a proxy, it may still vote its shares in person if it revokes its proxy before the special meeting. A stockholder may also change its vote by submitting a later-dated proxy as described in the section entitled “ Special Meeting of Sino Stockholders — Revoking Your Proxy .”

Interests of Sino’s Directors and Officers in the Transactions

When you consider the recommendation of Sino’s board of directors in favor of approval of the merger proposal, you should keep in mind that Sino’s initial stockholders, including its directors and executive officers, have interests in such proposal that are different from, or in addition to, your interests as a stockholder or rightholder. These interests include, among other things:

•       If the transactions or another business combination is not consummated by September 1, 2016, Sino will cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, redeeming 100% of the outstanding public shares for cash and, subject to the approval of its remaining stockholders and its board of directors, dissolving and liquidating. In such event, the 1,020,025 initial shares held by Sino’s initial stockholders, including its directors and officers, which were acquired for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000 prior to Sino’s initial public offering, would be worthless because Sino’s initial stockholders are not entitled to participate in any redemption or distribution with respect to such shares. Such shares had an aggregate market value of $10,149,248.75 based upon the closing price of $9.95 per share on the Nasdaq on September 8, 2015

•       Best Apex Limited, an affiliate of Jianming Hao, Sino’s Chief Executive Officer, purchased an aggregate of 210,000 private units from Sino for an aggregate purchase price of $2,100,000 (or $10.00 per unit). These purchases took place on a private placement basis simultaneously with the consummation of the initial public offering. All of the proceeds Sino received from these purchases were placed in the trust account. Such units had an aggregate market value of $2,247,000 based upon the closing price of $10.70 per unit on the Nasdaq on September 8, 2015. Best Apex Limited waived the right to participate in any redemption or liquidation distribution with respect to such private units. Accordingly, the Sino shares and rights underlying the private units will become worthless if Sino does not consummate a business combination by June 1, 2015 (as will the Sino rights held by public stockholders).

•       The transactions contemplated by the merger agreement provide that Jianming Hao, Richard Xu and Bradley Reifler will be directors of Holdco. As such, in the future each may receive cash fees, stock options or stock awards that the Holdco board of directors determines to pay to its directors. Additionally, Jianming Hao, Richard Xu and Amy He will be officers of Holdco after the closing of the transactions and will enter into employment agreements providing for them to receive base salaries of $156,000, $144,000 and $144,000, respectively.

•       If Sino is unable to complete a business combination within the required time period, Jianming Hao will be personally liable to ensure that the proceeds in the trust account are not reduced by the claims of target businesses or claims of vendors or other entities that are owed money by Sino for services rendered or contracted for or products sold to Sino, but only if such a vendor or target business has not executed such a waiver.

15

•       Jianming Hao has loaned Sino an aggregate of $300,000. If Sino fails to consummate a business combination, the loan would become unsecured liabilities of Sino; however, Mr. Hao has waived any claim against the trust account. Accordingly, Sino will most likely not be able to repay this loan if the transaction with WFG or another business combination is not completed. In addition, upon consummation of a business combination, the $300,000 loan is convertible at Mr. Hao’s election into units of Sino at a conversion price of $10.00 per unit. Accordingly, if a business combination is not consummated, Mr. Hao also will lose the opportunity to acquire an additional 33,000 shares underlying such units, which would have an aggregate market value of $328,350 based upon the closing price of $9.95 per share on Nasdaq on September 8, 2015.

•       Sino’s officers, directors, initial stockholders and their affiliates are entitled to reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them in connection with certain activities on Sino’s behalf, such as identifying and investigating possible business targets and business combinations. However, if Sino fails to consummate a business combination within the required period, they will not have any claim against the trust account for reimbursement. Accordingly, Sino may not be able to reimburse these expenses if the transactions, or another business combination, is not completed by September 1, 2016. As of September 8, 2015, Sino’s officers, directors, initial stockholders and their affiliates had not incurred any unpaid reimbursable expenses but they may incur such expenses in the future.

•       If Sino is required to be liquidated and there are no funds remaining to pay the costs associated with the implementation and completion of such liquidation, Jianming Hao has agreed to advance Sino the funds necessary to pay such costs and complete such liquidation (currently anticipated to be no more than approximately $15,000) and not to seek repayment for such expenses.

At any time prior to the special meeting, during a period when they are not then aware of any material nonpublic information regarding Sino or its securities, the Sino initial stockholders, WFG or WFG’s securityholders and/or their respective affiliates may purchase shares from institutional and other investors who vote, or indicate an intention to vote, against the merger proposal, or execute agreements to purchase such shares from such investors in the future, or they may enter into transactions with such investors and others to provide them with incentives to acquire shares of Sino’s common stock or vote their shares in favor of the merger proposal. The purpose of such share purchases and other transactions would be to increase the likelihood of satisfaction of the requirement that the holders of a majority of the then outstanding shares of common stock present and entitled to vote at the meeting to approve the merger proposal vote in its favor or to decrease the number of public shares that were being converted to cash. While the exact nature of any such incentives has not been determined as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, they might include, without limitation, arrangements to protect such investors or holders against potential loss in value of their shares, including the granting of put options and the transfer to such investors or holders of shares or rights owned by the Sino initial stockholders for nominal value.

Entering into any such arrangements may have a depressive effect on Sino’s common stock. For example, as a result of these arrangements, an investor or holder may have the ability to effectively purchase shares at a price lower than market and may therefore be more likely to sell the shares he owns, either prior to or immediately after the special meeting.

If such transactions are effected, the consequence could be to cause the merger to be approved in circumstances where such approval could not otherwise be obtained. Purchases of shares by the persons described above would allow them to exert more influence over the approval of the merger proposal and other proposals to be presented at the special meeting and would likely increase the chances that such proposals would be approved.

As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, there have been no such discussions and no agreements to such effect have been entered into with any such investor or holder. Sino will file a Current Report on Form 8-K to disclose any arrangements entered into or significant purchases made by any of the aforementioned persons that would affect the vote on the merger proposal or the conversion threshold. Any such report will include descriptions of any arrangements entered into or significant purchases by any of the aforementioned persons.

Recommendation to Stockholders

Sino’s board of directors believes that the merger proposal and the other proposals to be presented at the special meeting are fair to and in the best interest of Sino’s stockholders and unanimously recommends that its stockholders

16

vote “FOR” the merger proposal, “FOR” the charter proposals “FOR” the incentive compensation plan proposal, and “FOR” the adjournment proposal, if presented.

Conditions to the Closing of the Transactions

General Conditions

Consummation of the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement is conditioned on (i) the Sino stockholders approving the transactions, (ii) the proxy statement/prospectus being declared effective, (iii) the holders of no more than 3,080,100 of Sino’s public shares exercising their conversion rights and (iv) confirmation from Nasdaq that Holdco meets all the requirements for listing on such exchange other than the requirement to have a sufficient number of round lot holders.

In addition, the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement is conditioned upon, among other things, (i) the representations and warranties of each party being true and correct as of the date of the merger agreement and on and as of the closing date and each party having performed or complied with all agreements and covenants required by the merger agreement to be performed or complied with on or prior to the closing and each party having received a certificate with respect to the foregoing from the other party, (ii) all necessary consents, waivers and approvals required to be obtained in connection with the merger having been received, other than consents, waivers and approvals the absence of which could not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect and (iii) the absence of any litigation pending or threatened, which is reasonably likely to prevent consummation of the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, cause such transactions to be rescinded following consummation or materially and adversely affect the right of either party to own or operate the assets and operations of Holdco and WFG following the transaction.

WFG’s Conditions to Closing

The obligations of WFG to consummate the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement also are conditioned upon, among other things:

•       there being no material adverse change affecting Sino;

•       Sino shall be in compliance with public company reporting requirements;

•       certain individuals having resigned from their positions with Sino and Holdco;

•       the amended and restated registration rights agreement shall have been executed and delivered by the parties thereto; and

•       receipt by WFG of opinions of Sino’s US and Cayman Islands counsel in agreed form.

Sino’s and Holdco’s Conditions to Closing

The obligations of Sino and Holdco to consummate the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement also are conditioned upon each of the following, among other things:

•       there being no material adverse change affecting WFG;

•       the lock-up agreements shall have been executed and delivered by the parties thereto;

•       Holdco shall have entered into employment agreements with each of Messrs. Hao, Mu, Xu and Ms. He;

•       all outstanding indebtedness owned by any insider of WFG shall have been repaid in full; (ii) all guaranteed or similar arrangements pursuant to which WFG has guaranteed the payment or performance of any obligations of any WFG insider to a third party shall have been terminated; and (iii) no WFG insider shall own any direct equity interests in any subsidiary of WFG;

•       the amended and restated registration rights agreement shall have been executed and delivered by the parties thereto; and

•       receipt by Sino of an opinion of WFG’s British Virgin Islands counsel in agreed form.

17

Termination

The merger agreement may be terminated at any time, but not later than the closing, as follows:

•       by mutual written consent of Sino and WFG;

•       by either Sino or WFG if the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement are not consummated on or before December 31, 2015;

•       by either Sino or WFG if a governmental entity shall have issued an order, decree or ruling or taken any other action, in any case having the effect of permanently restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the merger, which order, decree, judgment, ruling or other action is final and nonappealable;

•       by either Sino or WFG if the other party has breached any of its covenants or representations and warranties in any material respect and has not cured its breach within thirty days of the notice of an intent to terminate, provided that the terminating party is itself not in breach; or

•       by either Sino or WFG if, at the Sino stockholder meeting, the transactions shall fail to be approved by holders of Sino’s public shares or the holders of more than 3,080,100 of Sino’s public shares shall exercise conversion rights.

If permitted under applicable law, either Sino or WFG may waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties made to such party contained in the merger agreement and waive compliance with any agreements or conditions for the benefit of itself or such party contained in the merger agreement. However, the condition requiring that the holders of no more than 3,080,100 of Sino’s public shares exercise their conversion rights may not be waived by Sino, due to applicable laws.

The existence of the financial and personal interests of the Sino directors may result in a conflict of interest on the part of one or more of them between what he may believe is best for Sino and what he may believe is best for himself in determining whether or not to grant a waiver in a specific situation. See the section entitled “ Risk Factors ” for a fuller discussion of this and other risks.

Tax Consequences of the Transactions

Sino has received an opinion from its counsel, Graubard Miller, that, for United States federal income tax purposes, the merger will qualify as a tax-free reorganization and:

•       No gain or loss will be recognized by stockholders of Sino who do not elect conversion of their public shares and no gain or loss will be recognized by rights holders of Sino if such holder owns less than 5% of the shares of Holdco following the transactions or if such holder owns 5% or more of the shares of Holdco following the transactions and such holder files a gain recognition agreement with such holders federal income tax return; and

•       A stockholder of Sino who exercises conversion rights and effects a termination of the stockholder’s interest in Sino will be required to recognize capital gain or loss upon the exchange of that stockholder’s shares of common stock and purchase options of Sino for cash, if such shares and purchase options were held as a capital asset on the date of the transactions. Such gain or loss will be measured by the difference between the amount of cash received and the tax basis of that stockholder’s shares and purchase options of Sino common stock.

Stockholders of Sino are encouraged to consult their own tax advisors, because the tax consequences may be different among the stockholders depending on their personal circumstances.

Sino also believes that Sino and its subsidiaries will not incur any material amount of federal tax as a result of the merger. It is expected that Sino will not recognize any gain or loss as a result of Sino’s merger with Holdco. An evaluation will be made prior to the closing of the transactions to establish whether Sino has any intangible assets that will be transferred to Holdco in connection with the transactions. If there are any such intangible assets, it is not expected that they will be of a substantial amount and any federal income tax will not be of material significance. The IRS may not agree with this conclusion. In such an event, there may be a significant tax obligations for Holdco, the surviving company, to pay based on the value of Sino’s appreciated assets at the time of the merger.

18

The tax opinion is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex E . Graubard Miller has consented to the use of its opinion in this proxy statement/prospectus. For a description of the material federal income tax consequences of the merger, please see the information set forth in “ The Merger Proposal — Material Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Transactions to Sino and its Securityholders .”

Anticipated Accounting Treatment

The transactions will be accounted for as a “reverse merger” and recapitalization at the date of the consummation of the transaction since the shareholders of WFG will own at least 71.4% of the outstanding ordinary shares of Holdco immediately following the completion of the transactions (assuming no holder of Sino common stock seeks conversion rights) and WFG’s operations will be the operations of Holdco following the transactions. Accordingly, WFG will be deemed to be the accounting acquirer in the transaction and, consequently, the transaction is treated as a recapitalization of WFG. As a result, the assets and liabilities and the historical operations that will be reflected in the Holdco financial statements after consummation of the transactions will be those of WFG and will be recorded at the historical cost basis of WFG. Sino’s assets, liabilities and results of operations will be consolidated with the assets, liabilities and results of operations of WFG upon consummation of the transactions.

Regulatory Matters

The transactions contemplated by the merger agreement are not subject to any additional federal or state regulatory requirement or approval, except for filings with Cayman Islands, British Virgin Islands and the State of Delaware necessary to effectuate the merger and share exchange.

Risk Factors

In evaluating the proposals to be presented at the special meeting, a stockholder should carefully read this proxy statement/prospectus and especially consider the factors discussed in the section entitled “ Risk Factors .”

SELECTED UNAUDITED PRO FOR MA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Sino is providing the following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information to aid you in your analysis of the financial aspects of the transactions.

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of June 30, 2015 combines the unaudited combined historical balance sheet of WFG as of March 31, 2015 with the unaudited historical condensed consolidated balance sheet of Sino as of June 30, 2015, giving effect to the transactions as if they had been consummated as of that date.

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined income statement for the six months ended June 30, 2015 combines the unaudited historical combined statement of income of WFG for the six months ended March 31, 2015 with the unaudited historical condensed consolidated statement of operations of Sino for the six months ended June 30, 2015, giving effect to the transactions as if they had been consummated as of January 1, 2014.

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined income statement for the year ended December 31, 2014 combines the unaudited historical combined statement of income of WFG for the year ended December 31, 2014 with the audited historical statement of operations of Sino for the period from March 28, 2014 (inception) to December 31, 2014, giving effect to the transactions as if they had been consummated as of January 1, 2014.

The historical financial information has been adjusted to give effect to pro forma events that are related and/or directly attributable to the transactions, are factually supportable and are expected to have a continuing impact on the combined results. The adjustments presented on the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements have been identified and presented to provide relevant information necessary for an accurate understanding of the combined company upon consummation of the transactions.

The historical financial information of WFG was derived from the unaudited combined financial statements of WFG for the nine months ended March 31, 2015 and audited combined financial statements of WFG for the year ended June 30, 2014 included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus. The historical financial information of Sino was derived from the unaudited consolidated financial statements of Sino for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and the audited financial statements of Sino for the period from March 28, 2014 to December 31, 2014 included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus. This information should be read together with WFG’s and Sino’s audited and unaudited financial statements and related notes, “ WFG Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations ,” “ Other Information Related to Sino — Sino’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations ” and other financial information included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is for illustrative purposes only. The financial results may have been different had the companies always been combined. You should not rely on the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information as being indicative of the historical results that would have been achieved had the companies always been combined or the future results that the combined company will experience. WFG and Sino have not had any historical relationship prior to the transactions. Accordingly, no pro forma adjustments were required to eliminate activities between the companies.

The transactions will be accounted for as a “reverse merger” and recapitalization at the date of the consummation of the transaction since the shareholders of WFG will own at least 71.4% of the outstanding ordinary shares of Holdco immediately following the completion of the transactions (assuming no holder of Sino common stock seeks conversion rights) and WFG’s operations will be the operations of Holdco following the transactions. Accordingly, WFG will be deemed to be the accounting acquirer in the transaction and, consequently, the transaction is treated as a recapitalization of WFG. As a result, the assets and liabilities and the historical operations that will be reflected in the Holdco financial statements after consummation of the transactions will be those of WFG and will be recorded at the historical cost basis of WFG. Sino’s assets, liabilities and results of operations will be consolidated with the assets, liabilities and results of operations of WFG upon consummation of the transactions.

Pursuant to the merger agreement, WFG’s shareholders will receive (1) an amount of cash remaining in Sino’s trust fund after payment of all amounts to public stockholders that exercise their conversion rights, less $5,000,000, provided that the cash consideration shall not exceed $25,000,000, and (2) a number of ordinary shares of Holdco equal to $168,000,000 less the cash consideration, divided by $10.00. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the WFG shareholders shall have the option to forego receiving any cash consideration and instead

22

receive such consideration in additional ordinary shares of Holdco. If the WFG shareholders were to forego receiving all of the cash consideration, they would receive up to an additional 2,500,000 ordinary shares of Holdco.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements have been prepared using four assumptions with two different levels of redemptions of Sino’s Common Stock and two different levels of cash consideration the WFG shareholders will elect to receive:

Assumption (1): Maximum conversions with no cash consideration. The WFG shareholders will elect to receive no cash consideration and 16,800,000 Holdco shares (including 500,000 additional share issued for the WFG shareholders for exchange of cash consideration) and the shareholders of 3,080,100 of Sino’s public shares will elect to convert their shares into cash as permitted by Sino’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation. The WFG shareholders will own approximately 86.3% of the Holdco shares to be outstanding immediately after the transactions, and the Sino’s stockholders will own approximately 13.7% of Holdco’s outstanding shares.

Assumption (2): Maximum conversions with maximum cash consideration. The WFG shareholders will receive in the aggregate approximately $5,000,000 and 16,300,000 Holdco shares and the shareholders of 3,080,100 of Sino’s public shares will elect to convert their shares into cash as permitted by Sino’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation. The WFG shareholders will own approximately 86.0% of the Holdco shares to be outstanding immediately after the transactions, and the Sino’s stockholders will own approximately 14.0% of Holdco’s outstanding shares.

Assumption (3): No Conversions with no cash consideration. The WFG shareholders will elect to receive no cash consideration and 16,800,000 Holdco shares (including 2,500,000 additional share issued for the WFG shareholders for exchange of cash consideration) and no shareholders will elect to convert their shares into cash. The WFG shareholders will own approximately 74.5% of the Holdco shares to be outstanding immediately after the transactions, and the Sino’s stockholders will own approximately 25.5% of Holdco’s outstanding shares.

Assumption (4): No Conversions with maximum cash consideration. The WFG shareholders will receive in the aggregate $25,000,000 and 14,300,000 Holdco shares and no shareholders will elect to convert their shares into cash. The WFG shareholders will own approximately 71.4% of the Holdco shares to be outstanding immediately after the transactions, and the Sino’s stockholders will own approximately 28.6% of Holdco’s outstanding shares.

Sino is providing this information to aid you in your analysis of the financial aspects of the transactions. The unaudited pro forma financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the financial position or results of operations that may have actually occurred had the transaction taken place on the dates noted, or the future financial position or operating results of the combined company.

RISK F A CT ORS

Stockholders should carefully consider the following risk factors, together with all of the other information included in this proxy statement/prospectus, before they decide whether to vote or instruct their vote to be cast to approve the proposals described in this proxy statement/prospectus.

Risks Related to Holdco’s Business and Operations Following the Transactions with WFG

The value of your investment in Holdco following consummation of the transactions will be subject to the significant risks affecting WFG and inherent in the financial industry. You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below and other information included in this proxy statement/prospectus. If any of the events described below occur, the post-acquisition business and financial results could be adversely affected in a material way. This could cause the trading price of its common stock to decline, perhaps significantly, and you therefore may lose all or part of your investment. As used in the risks described in this subsection, references to “we,” “us” and “our” are intended to refer to WFG unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.

WFG relies heavily on cooperation with commercial banks.

WFG’s business relies heavily on cooperation with commercial banks. WFG’s cooperation arrangements with banks generally have a term of one year and are renewable upon expiration. If WFG is not able to renew any of these existing arrangements on commercially reasonable terms, or at all, when they expire, the ability to provide bank financing guarantees to clients would be negatively impacted. In addition, regulatory policies and other factors are beyond WFG’s control. Furthermore, WFG’s cooperation arrangements are concentrated in a small number of commercial banks locally. The proportion of security deposits the banks require from WFG largely depends on WFG’s business relationship and track record with them. As a result, if WFG’s relationship with one or more key cooperating banks deteriorates materially or terminates, WFG’s business, financial condition and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected.

WFG’s business is subject to greater credit risks than if it provided guarantees and leases to larger and more established clients, and WFG’s proprietary risk management system may not be adequate to protect against client defaults.

The business of providing financial guarantees or leasing involves a variety of risks, including the risk that the loans we guaranteed or made will not be repaid on time or at all, and our risk management procedures may not fully eliminate these risks. WFG mainly focuses on providing services to SMEs and microcredit companies in China. Some of WFG’s clients are at the early stage of their business and have limited financial resources, making them vulnerable to adverse competitive, economic or regulatory conditions. These customers may expose us to greater credit risks than larger or more established businesses with longer operating histories. We seek to manage our credit risk exposure through client due diligence, credit approvals, establishing credit limits, requiring security measures and portfolio monitoring. While these procedures are designed to provide us with the information needed to implement adjustments where necessary, and to take proactive corrective actions, there can be no assurance that such measures will be effective in avoiding undue credit risk.

Our historical financial results may not be indicative of our future performance.

Our business has achieved rapid growth during recent years. However, our financial leasing business commenced in 2009 and therefore has a limited operating history. Our net revenue increased from $4.4 million for the year ended June 30, 2013 to $9.6 million for the year ended June 30, 2014, representing an increase of 117.9%. However, our historically high growth rate and the limited history of financial leasing business make it difficult to evaluate our prospects. We may not be able to sustain our historically rapid growth or may not be able to grow our business at all.

We may face increasing competition from existing and new market participants.

China’s financial services industry for SMEs and microenterprises has experienced substantial growth in recent years, following the rapid development of the Chinese economy and the emergence of a large number of SMEs and microenterprises. For our guarantee business, our major competitors include state-owned or foreign-invested guarantee companies which have a strong presence in the regions in which we operate. For our financial leasing business, our major competitors include independent China leasing companies and foreign-owned leasing

27

companies. Some of our competitors may benefit from lower pricing, a larger customer base, a more established business reputation, more solid business relationships with banks and government authorities, a more mature risk control mechanism or more extensive experience than we might. As we expand our presence, we expect to compete with competitors from other regions, some of which have better knowledge of the target customers and may enjoy stronger relationships with local banks than we do.

Our business model could be negatively affected by changes and fluctuation in the banking industry.

Our business model is premised on the fact that SMEs and microenterprises are generally underserved by the banking industry because commercial banks in China have been reluctant to lend to SMEs and microenterprises without credit support, such as third-party guarantees, or adequate collateral of tangible assets, and we believe that they will remain so in the foreseeable future. This has created opportunities for us to develop and expand our business. However, new trends in the banking industry or the applicable regulatory requirements may alleviate the high transaction costs or the lack of collateral and public information generally associated with bank financing to our target clients or otherwise make this business more attractive to banks. In the event that commercial banks begin to compete with us by making loans to our target clients on an unsecured basis or require a lower level of credit guarantee in return for higher risk-based interest rates, we may experience less demand for our guarantee services and greater competition with respect to our financial leasing business. Furthermore, any such direct competition with our cooperating banks will undermine our relationship with them and may adversely affect our business, results of operations and prospects.

In addition, our business may be subject to factors affecting the banking industry generally, such as the abrupt spike in China’s interbank rates and the subsequent fears of tightened liquidity as experienced by Chinese banks in the second and third quarters of 2013, as well as the increasing non-performing loan ratios as reported by the banking industry in 2014. Such factors adversely affecting China’s banking industry may result in constraints on the banking system’s liquidity and subsequent reductions in the amount of, or tightened approval requirements for, loans available to our customers or us. As a result, we may experience reduced demand for our guarantees and less available funding. Furthermore, if our customers’ business is negatively affected due to any such factors, our customer default risk may increase, which may materially and adversely affect our financial condition or results of operations.

Our business is concentrated in Jinzhong City, Shanxi Province, and our financial condition and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected by a significant deterioration in our business in such city.

Our business is concentrated in Jinzhong City, Shanxi Province, with over 90% of our revenues being generated by clients in this city for the year ended June 30, 2014. The economies of Jinzhong City specifically and Shanxi Province generally historically have provided significant business opportunities for our target clients, and accordingly driven our business growth and financial performance. A significant economic downturn in Jinzhong City or Shanxi Province, however, may undermine the financial condition of our customers in these areas and their ability to repay their loans which we have guaranteed, and our financial condition and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected as a result.

We may not be familiar with new regions or markets we enter and may not be successful in offering new products and services.

We may expand our business and enter other regional markets in the future. However, we may be unable to replicate our success in Jinzhong City in new markets. In expanding our business, we may enter markets in which we have limited, or no, experience. We may not be familiar with the local business and regulatory environment and we may fail to attract a sufficient number of customers due to our limited presence in that region. In addition, competitive conditions in new markets may be different from those in our existing market and may make it difficult or impossible for us to operate profitably in these new markets. If we are unable to manage these and other difficulties in our expansion into other regions in China, our prospects and results of operations may be adversely affected.

As we continuously adjust our business strategies in response to the changing market and evolving customer needs, our new business initiatives will likely lead us to offer new products and services. However, we may not be able to successfully introduce new products or services to address our customers’ needs because we may not have adequate capital resources or lack the relevant experience or expertise or otherwise. In addition, we may be unable to obtain regulatory approvals for our new products and services. Furthermore, our new products and services may involve increased and unperceived risks and may not be accepted by the market and they may not be as profitable as we

28

anticipated, or at all. If we are unable to achieve the intended results for our new products and services, our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may be adversely affected.

If the counter-guarantees obtained from our customers are not sufficient to cover our corresponding exposure under the guarantees given by us on our customers’ behalf in the event of a default by the customer, it could negatively impact our results of operations.

WFG guarantees the repayment of loans granted to its customers. WFG is required to provide cash deposits for the loans granted by such banks to its customers, from which the banks may recover defaulted loan payments by its customers. In order to protect WFG’s interest, WFG does, and will in the future, require its customers, their owners and/or third parties to provide counter-guarantees to WFG to secure WFG’s obligations under the guarantees given by WFG. Such counter-guarantees may include 1) charges over fixed assets such as properties, vehicles and machinery; 2) charges over movable and intangible assets such as income rights, accounts receivable, inventories and land use rights; and/or 3) guarantee(s) from the owners or directors of the customer and their spouse or other third parties. Such counter-guarantees would be discharged after our obligations under the guarantee given by WFG are discharged. If WFG’s customers default on a loan or fail to perform their contractual obligations, WFG would have to pay to the bank or a contractual counter-party the amount guaranteed by WFG under the relevant guarantee given by WFG. When WFG is called upon to make payment under the guarantees given by WFG, WFG would in turn seek to recover such liabilities from liquidating the collateral provided to WFG or from funds obtained from guarantors, under the counter-guarantees given to WFG by the relevant customers. It is possible that collateral provided to us under such counter-guarantee(s) could not be realized, or could not be realized in time, or could not be realized at prices that are equal to or above the amount of WFG’s liability under the guarantees given by WFG, or the relevant guarantor(s) may fail to perform the obligations under the counter-guarantee(s) provided to WFG. In the event of liquidation or bankruptcy of WFG’s customers, WFG may not be able to claim priority on such collateral over other creditors of WFG’s customer, and WFG may not be able to recover the full value of that collateral under the counter-guarantees or at all. In addition, the procedures for liquidating or otherwise realizing the value of collateral of borrowers in China may be protracted or ultimately unsuccessful, and the enforcement process in China may be difficult for legal and practical reasons. Any of the foregoing may adversely impact our results of operations and profitability.

Our provisions for guarantee losses and impairment losses may not be adequate to cover actual losses and any increase to the allowance for guarantee losses and impairment losses may cause our net income to decrease.

As of March 31, 2015, our provision for guarantee losses was $0.9 million and our allowance for impairment losses was $0.6 million in respect of investment in financial leasing. The amount of provisions or allowances has been based on our management’s assessment of, and expectations concerning, various factors affecting the quality of our guarantee and loan portfolio, such as the customers’ financial condition, repayment ability, historical default rates, the anticipated realizable value of any collateral, regional economic conditions, government policies, interest rates and other factors, and the applicable PRC rules and regulations governing provisions for losses. If our assessment and expectations differ from actual events, or if the quality of our guarantee and loan portfolios deteriorates, our provisions or allowance may not be adequate to cover our actual losses and we may need to set aside additional provisions or allowance, which could materially and adversely affect our profitability. Our business is subject to fluctuations based on local economic conditions. These fluctuations are neither predictable nor within our control and may have a material adverse impact on our operations and financial condition. We may increase our allowance for guarantee losses and impairment losses for investment in financial leases based on any such change of economic conditions and the change of management’s assessment. Regulatory authorities may also require an increase in the provision or allowance for guarantee or loan losses. Any increase in the allowance for guarantee or loan losses would result in a decrease in net income and may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

Our business was concentrated on two major clients for the nine months ended March 31, 2015 and for the year ended June 30, 2014. Our revenue growth may not be sustainable if we cannot successfully expand and diversify our client base in the future.

Our business was concentrated on two major clients for the nine months ended March 31, 2015 and for the year ended June 30, 2014. From March 2014 to March 2015, WFG provided guarantee services for an aggregate of $58.1 million (RMB360 million) of loans as well as related financial advisory services to the first client, and provided guarantee services for an aggregate of $32.2 million (RMB200 million) of loans as well as related financial advisory services to the second client. The first client accounted for 22.5% and 11% of WFG’s gross revenue for the

29

nine  months ended March 31, 2015 and for the year ended June 30, 2014, respectively. The second client accounted for 16.5% and 16% of WFG’s gross revenue for the nine months ended March 31, 2015 and for the year ended June 30, 2014, respectively. All these loans have been repaid in full, and the guarantee obligations were terminated prior to March 31, 2014. We have determined that WFG will not in the future provide guarantee services for any loans in excess of 10% of WFG’s net assets to a single customer. We expect to diversify the customer base and expand the business outside Jinzhong City, Shanxi Province, including cooperating with various microcredit companies and non-bank financial institution. However, our revenue and net profit may be adversely affected by the expiration of the guaranteed loans of the two major customers and if we cannot successfully expand our customer base.

WFG’s business is concentrated in financial guarantees and financial leasing, and therefore lacks product and business diversification. Accordingly, our future revenues and earnings may be more susceptible to fluctuations than a more diversified company.

Currently, our primary business activities include providing guarantee services and offering financial lease as well financial advisory services to our customers. If we are unable to maintain and grow the operating revenues from our business or develop additional revenue streams, our future revenues and earnings are not likely to grow and could decline. Our lack of significant product and business diversification could inhibit the opportunities for growth of our business, revenues and profits.

The commission rate in the guarantee business and interest rate in financial leasing business may decrease due to changes in the Chinese economic environment or industry competitiveness, which could negatively affect our revenue and net profit.

If China’s economy does not maintain the same growth rate as it has in previous years, or China’s macro-economy slows down, the government could tighten money supply, and banks could be less inclined to incur credit risk and extend loans to Chinese SMEs, which could negatively affect our guarantee business. China has cut its interest rate five times during the last 12 months, and further cuts in interest rates may be implemented in the near future. New participants may enter the financial sector and our business could face intense competition within our current region, and in the regions into which we plan to expand, due to these new entrants. We might be unable to maintain the same level of commission rates or interest rates charged for our guarantee service or financial leasing service, in which case our revenue and net profit may decrease.

We hold a significant amount of short term investments in assets management products. It is possible that we could lose the principal and interest of these assets, or the current return may not be maintained. Furthermore, it is possible that the banks and financial institutions that manage the short-term investments may not be able to redeem the short-term investments at our request, resulting in our being unable to utilize the related funds to support our business.

As of March 31, 2015, we hold $145.4 million of short-term investments in assets management products managed by banks and financial institutions, which have invested in fixed-income financial products permitted by the China Securities Regulatory Commission (“SRC”) such as government bonds, corporate bonds and central bank notes. WFG believes that the risk of loss of principal and interest on these assets is very low. However, if the Chinese economic environment changes significantly, for instance, if China’s economy enters a serious recession resulting in many enterprises being unable to repay their bonds and other obligations, or if China’s central bank cuts interest rates significantly, China’s asset management companies may be unable to protect their interests in the assets under management. In such event, we might lose any return or even the principal from these investments. The current annualized return rate for assets held by these asset management companies on behalf of WFG is between 6.6% and 15% annually. The return on these funds is highly dependent on the management ability of the asset management companies, and on the market interest rate of the investment products. Current levels of return may not be sustainable if the market interest rate continues to decrease in the near future. Further, the banks and financial institutions that manage the short term investments may be unable to redeem such investments at a price equal to the principal and undistributed interests due to market events or, in extreme circumstances, such as significant redemptions or a deterioration of liquidity in the financial markets, may be unable to redeem them at all. As a result, we may not have access to the capital related to the short-term investments for our business when needed.

We failed to comply with certain laws and regulations in the past and the non-compliance may expose us to potential penalties or legal actions imposed by relevant government authorities.

We failed to comply with the Interim Measures for guarantee business which require that the balance of the financing guarantee liabilities provided by a financing guarantee company for any single guaranteed party shall

30

not exceed 10% of the net assets of the guarantee company. Shanxi Dongsheng Financial Guarantee Co., Ltd. (“Dongsheng Guarantee”), one of our subsidiaries, provided guarantee service for loans in excess of 10% of our net assets for two clients during the period from March 2014 to March 2015. In addition, we failed to comply with certain social insurance contributions and Provident Housing Fund requirements under PRC regulations (collectively “Social Benefit Regulations”). Dongsheng Guarantee failed to make social insurance contributions and Provident Housing Fund contributions for some of its employees. For further information on these matters, see the section titled “ Business of WFG – Noncompliance of Laws and Regulations .” As of the latest practicable date, we had not received any notice from any of the relevant government authorities regarding our non-compliance with Interim Measures for our guarantee business and the Social Benefit Regulations. However, we cannot assure that the relevant regulatory authorities will not impose penalties and/or bring legal action against us retrospectively, which may adversely affect our business and cause a significant penalty payment.

Our risk management framework, policies and procedures and internal controls may not fully protect us against various risks inherent in our business.

We have established an internal risk management framework, policies and procedures to manage our risk exposures, primarily credit risk, operational risk, compliance risk and legal risk as well as liquidity risk. These risk management policies and procedures are based upon historical behaviors and our experience in the industry. They may not be adequate or effective in managing our future risk exposures or protecting us against unidentified or unanticipated risks, which could be significantly greater than those historically experienced. Although we are continuously updating our policies and procedures, we may fail to predict future risks due to rapid changes in the market and regulatory conditions, and new markets we enter. Although we have established internal controls to ensure our risk management policies and procedures are adhered to by our employees as we conduct our business, our internal controls may not effectively prevent or detect any non-compliance of our policies and procedures, which may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Effective implementation of our risk management and internal controls also depends on our employees. Human error or other mistakes may significantly undercut the effectiveness and performance of our risk management and internal controls, resulting in a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial position.

We may be subject to employee misconduct which is often difficult to detect and could harm our reputation and business.

Employee misconduct may include approving a transaction beyond authorized credit limits, hiding key customer information in the due diligence process, engaging in fraudulent or other improper activities, or otherwise not complying with laws or our risk management procedures. Employee misconduct is often difficult to detect and could take significant time to uncover. We cannot assure you that future incidents of employee misconduct will not subject us to serious penalties or limitations on our business activities. We could also suffer from negative publicity, reputational damage, monetary losses or litigation losses as a result of the misconduct of our employees.

There is often limited information regarding our customers and our ability to perform customer due diligence or detect customer fraud may be compromised as a result.

The information available on SMEs including microenterprises is often limited. Our credit evaluation depends primarily on customer due diligence. We cannot assure you that our customer due diligence will uncover all material information necessary to make a fully informed decision, nor can we assure you that our due diligence efforts will be sufficient to detect fraud committed by our customers. If we fail to perform thorough due diligence or discover customer fraud or intentional deceit, the quality of our credit evaluation may be compromised. A failure to effectively measure and limit the credit risk associated with our guarantee and loan portfolio could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. In addition, we may be unable to monitor our customers’ actual use of the financing we guaranteed or provided, or verify if our customers have other undisclosed private money or borrowings. We may not be able to detect our customers’ suspicious or illegal transactions, such as money laundering activities, in our business and we may suffer financial and/or reputational damage as a result.

Our continued success is dependent on senior management and our ability to attract and retain qualified personnel.

Our success has been, and in the future will be, dependent on the continued services of our executive directors and senior management. While we intend to enter into employment agreements with certain key employees in connection

31

with the transactions, there is no assurance that any or all of our senior management will continue their employment with us. If any senior management personnel are unable or unwilling to continue their service, we may not be able to find a suitable replacement quickly or at all. The loss of the services of any senior management personnel and the failure to locate a suitable replacement might disrupt our business and could have an adverse impact on our ability to manage or operate our business effectively.

Our performance is also dependent on the talents and efforts of highly-skilled individuals. As a result, our continued ability to effectively compete, manage and expand our business depends on our ability to retain and motivate our existing employees and attract new talented and diverse employees. Given our relatively lean human resources structure, the loss of services of any employee holding an important position or possessing industry expertise or experience could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, business and prospects. Competition in the financial services industry for qualified employees has often been intense, and we may also need to offer higher compensation and other benefits to attract new personnel. A failure to attract and retain qualified personnel and any significant increase in staffing costs could have a negative impact on our ability to maintain our competitive position and grow our business.

The future development and implementation of anti-money laundering laws in China may increase our obligation to supervise and report transactions with our customers, thereby increasing our compliance efforts and costs and exposing us to criminal measures or administrative sanctions for non-compliance.

We believe that we are not currently subject to PRC anti-money laundering laws and regulations and are not required to establish specific identification and reporting procedures relating to anti-money laundering. PRC laws and regulations relating to anti-money laundering have evolved significantly in recent years and may continue to develop. In the future, we may be required to supervise and report transactions with our customers for anti-money laundering or other purposes, which may increase our compliance efforts and costs and may expose us to potential criminal measures or administrative sanctions if we fail to establish and implement the required procedures or otherwise fail to comply with the relevant laws and regulations.

Failure to maintain our reputation and brand name could materially and adversely affect our business.

We believe that the reputation and brand name that we have built over the years plays a significant role in enabling us to obtain business from referrals as well as to attract new customers. A large portion of our new guarantee services were referred to us by our past or existing customers or by banks or other financial institutions. We believe that the building up and the enhancement of our reputation and brand name depend largely on, among others, our credibility among finance providers and other players in the financial services industry which has been developed over the years of our business operations, and our ability to provide diversified services to meet the requirements of our customers and their counter-parties. If we fail to maintain our reputation or our customers or their counter-parties no longer perceive our services to be of high quality or if they should no longer perceive us as a guarantee company with high credibility for whatever reason, our reputation and brand name could be adversely affected which, in turn, could affect our ability to maintain existing or capture future business opportunities. There is also no assurance that our past or existing customers or banks or financial institutions with whom we have business relationships will continue to work with us or to refer new or potential customers to us. In the event our existing or past customers or banks or financial institutions with whom we have business relationships cease to work with us or stop referring new or potential customers to us or substantially reduce their referrals to us, WFG’s business, financial condition and results of operations would be adversely affected.

We are heavily dependent on the performance of SMEs, particularly those in Jinzhong City, and any decrease in demand for services to SME’s in Jinzhong City or the PRC may adversely impact our business operations.

The rapid growth of the economy of the PRC in recent years has triggered a surge in the number of new SMEs and the escalation of their respective businesses in general. Despite the growth of SMEs and the growing demand for funding from these SMEs in recent years, there can be no assurance that the demand for financial guarantee services and financial leasing from SMEs will continue to grow. Any adverse development in national or local economic conditions may affect the businesses or funding demands of SMEs which, in turn, may reduce the demand or depress the amount of fees we charge for our services. Any decrease in such demand would have a material adverse effect on our result of operations and financial condition.

32

Our financial guarantee, financial leasing and financial consultancy services are provided to SMEs and their shareholders for the benefit of SMEs in the PRC, mainly in Jinzhong City, Shanxi Province. Our business and prospects are particularly dependent on the performance of SMEs in Jinzhong City which operate in a multitude of different industries. If the economy of Shanxi Province, in particular Jinzhong City, significantly deteriorates, performance of SMEs in such area will be adversely affected which, in turn, could have an adverse effect on our business. If there is any downturn in the industries of any of our customers and potential customers in the PRC generally or in Jinzhong City specifically, our business, financial condition and results of operations could also be adversely affected.

We may not be able to keep pace with changing demands in the guarantee business industry.

A significant factor of our competitiveness in the markets for guarantee services is our ability to develop our services so that we are able to continuously tailor our services to the needs and demands of our customers and their counter-parties. Due to the changes in the global economy, the national economy in the PRC or the local economy in Shanxi Province, the changes in the business environment of the SMEs in the PRC and the development of different financial products, there may be changes in the market needs for guarantee services in terms of, among others, the type of services and the scale of guarantees provided. We cannot assure that we will be able to obtain sufficient financial and human resources to develop our business in view of such changes. The scale and expertise of our management team may not be able to meet such market needs and we may not be able to attract suitable personnel for the development of our business. In addition, our risk management system may not keep up with changes in the business requirements of our cooperating institutions and customers. Further, there is no assurance that our new services will be well accepted by the market, or such services can be developed and put into the market in a timely manner or at all. In the event that we are not able to develop new services that meet the needs of our customers or their counter-parties or that our competitors have developed new service offerings that are more accepted by the market than ours, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected.

We may be involved in legal proceedings arising from our operations.

We may become involved in disputes with customers, financial providers and/or other parties. These disputes may lead to legal proceedings, and may cause us to suffer costs and delays to our operations. Such legal proceedings may also adversely affect our reputation which in turn could lead to a slowdown in our new business opportunities.

We are subject to certain foreign exchange risks.

We receive all of our revenue in Renminbi, which is currently not a freely convertible currency. A portion of our revenue must be converted into other currencies in order to meet our foreign currency obligations from time to time. For example, we will be required to obtain foreign currency (i.e. US dollars) to make payments of declared cash dividends, if any, after the transactions described in this proxy statement/prospectus. The value of Renminbi against the U.S. dollar and other currencies fluctuates and is affected by, among other things, changes in the PRC and international political and economic conditions. The value of any declared cash dividends in the future may be affected by fluctuations in exchange rates.

We have no insurance coverage for our guarantee and financial leasing business, investment assets or deposits in our bank accounts, which could expose us to significant costs and business disruption.

We do not maintain any credit insurance, business interruption insurance, general third-party liability insurance, nor do we maintain key man life insurance or any other insurance coverage except the mandatory social insurance for employees. If we incur any lost that is not covered by our loss reserve, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected. Additionally, our major assets are cash deposit in banks and short-term investments in assets management products. These assets are not insured or otherwise protected. Should any bank or trust company holding our cash deposits become insolvent, or if we are otherwise unable to withdraw funds, we could lose the cash on deposit with that particular bank or trust company.

We have not yet generated significant revenue from our financial leasing operations and may not do so in the future.

We are currently in the initial stage of developing our financial leasing business. To date, the revenue generated from our financial leasing operations is not a significant contribution to our performance. The success of our financial leasing operations will be highly dependent upon our ability to successfully develop and market our financial leasing services to targeted customers. We may not be able to develop our financial leasing business as planned and generate

33

revenues or profits. The revenue and income potential of our proposed financial leasing business is unproven and the lack of operating history makes it difficult to evaluate the future prospects of this business.

Our knowledge of the Chinese financial leasing industry and market may be limited. Our perception of potential customers’ needs and their acceptance of our financial leasing services may not be accurate.

We may not be able to work with equipment providers to successfully purchase qualified equipment identified by our customers on terms acceptable to us. We may not be able to establish sound financial modeling in the calculation of the interest rate and residual value. Such inexperience and lack of active knowledge may lead to failure of our financial leasing business.

Lack of knowledge of financial leasing benefits among potential customers may make it difficult for us to market our services.

Many people in the PRC still perceive leasing companies as a “second-class bank”, and very few recognize the flexibility and benefits that financial leasing provides. We may need to invest a tremendous amount of time and effort toward education people of the benefits of such business so that potential customers can fully appreciate the flexibility leasing offers to deploy their assets. Failure in such education may make it difficult for us to market our financial leasing services.

Our dividend policy is determined by the Board of Directors based the consideration of our performance, cash flow position and future growth strategy. We cannot assure you of declaring dividend at any time in the future.

In the future, we may not have sufficient net income or cash flow for dividend distribution, and we may retain profits to cover cash flow required for further business growth. There is no assurance that we will pay any dividends in the future. If we do not pay dividends, shareholders will not experience investment returns except through the sale of their stock.

Failure to manage our growth could result in a negative impact on our future performance, results of operation and financial condition.

We intend to seek strategic acquisitions in the future in order to further expand our business and service offerings. It is our intention to seek acquisition targets that have the potential to complement our existing business or our business model or to broaden our service offerings. Any failure to successfully acquire or merge with such targets or to successfully integrate newly acquired or merged businesses into our business could have a negative impact on our future performance, results of operations and financial condition.

Our financial performance may fluctuate from period to period and the fluctuations may make it difficult to predict our future performance. The adjustment of our business development strategies according to the new environment may have significantly adverse effect on our performance.

Our financial performance fluctuates with our business volume. For our guarantee and financial consultancy service, the level of revenue that we can achieve is subject to fluctuations and is dependent on, among others, the business and performance of our customers and the overall economic condition of the PRC. Accordingly, we are susceptible to revenue volatility between financial periods.

As we derive substantially all of our revenue from guarantee fees, our financial performance is affected by the market conditions of the vastly diverse industries in which our customers operate and the overall economic conditions of the PRC, which are external factors beyond our control. In the event that we are not able to continually and consistently secure new guarantee contracts from customers, our future financial performance will be adversely affected.

In order to achieve our long term mission, we may balance our efforts and capital to some newly developed segments, such as leasing or other newly acquired business. This could negatively affect our current guarantee financial performance.

Our business strategy could be adjusted subject to various circumstances, such as market opportunity, overall economic condition of the PRC, changes in the government regulations, and so on. Such adjustment could shift our future business focus and demand a large number of resource support, which could negatively affect our future financial performance.

Risk relating to doing business in the PRC

China’s economic, political and social conditions, as well as regulatory policies, significantly affect the financial markets in China, as well as our liquidity, access to capital and ability to operate our business.

Our operating subsidiaries are incorporated, and our operations and assets are primarily located, in the PRC. Accordingly, our results of operations, financial condition and prospects are subject to economic, political and legal developments in China. China’s economy differs from the economies of developed countries in many respects, including the amount of government involvement, level of development, growth rate, control of foreign exchange and allocation of resources. While China’s economy has experienced significant growth in the past few decades, growth has been uneven across different regions and economic sectors and there is no assurance that such growth can be sustained or is sustainable. The PRC government has implemented various measures to encourage economic development and guide the allocation of resources. Some of these measures benefit the overall PRC economy, but may negatively affect us. For example, our financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected by the following factors:

•       an economic downturn in China or any regional market in China;

•       inaccurate assessment of the economic conditions of the markets in which we operate;

•       economic policies and initiatives undertaken by the PRC government;

•       changes in the PRC or regional business or regulatory environment affecting the SME and microenterprise sector;

•       changes to prevailing market interest rates;

•       a higher rate of bankruptcy; and

•       the deterioration of the creditworthiness of SMEs and microenterprises in general.

In addition, an unfavorable financial and economic environment in recent years, including as a result of continued global financial uncertainties and the Eurozone sovereign debt crisis, have had and may continue to have an adverse impact on investors’ confidence and financial markets in China. Moreover, concerns over capital market volatility, issues of liquidity, inflation, geopolitical issues, the availability and cost of credit and concerns about the rate of unemployment have resulted in adverse market conditions in China, which may materially and adversely affect our business and operations.

We may not in all cases be able to capitalize on the economic reform measures adopted by the PRC government. Changes in the economic, political and social conditions or the relevant policies of the PRC government, such as changes in laws and regulations or restrictive financial measures, could have an adverse effect on the overall economic growth of the PRC, which could subsequently hinder our current or future business, growth strategies, financial condition and results of operations.

Substantial uncertainties and restrictions with respect to the political and economic policies of the PRC government and PRC laws and regulations could have a significant impact upon the business we may be able to conduct in the PRC and accordingly on the results of our operations and financial condition.

Our business operations may be adversely affected by the current and future political environment in the PRC. The Chinese government exerts substantial influence and control over the manner in which we must conduct our business activities. Our ability to operate in China may be adversely affected by changes in Chinese laws and regulations. Under the current government leadership, the government of the PRC has been pursuing economic reform policies that encourage private economic activities and greater economic decentralization. However, the government of the PRC may not continue to pursue these policies, or may significantly alter these policies from time to time without notice.

There are substantial uncertainties regarding the interpretation and application of PRC laws and regulations, including, but not limited to, the laws and regulations governing our business, or the enforcement and performance of our arrangements with borrowers in the event of the imposition of statutory liens, death, bankruptcy or criminal proceedings. Only after 1979 did the Chinese government begin to promulgate a comprehensive system of laws that regulate economic affairs in general, deal with economic matters such as foreign investment, corporate organization and governance, commerce, taxation and trade, as well as encourage foreign investment in China. Although the influence of the law has been increasing, China has not developed a fully integrated legal system and recently enacted

35

laws and regulations may not sufficiently cover all aspects of economic activities in China. Also, because these laws and regulations are relatively new, and because of the limited volume of published cases and their lack of force as precedents, interpretation and enforcement of these laws and regulations involve significant uncertainties. New laws and regulations that affect existing and proposed future businesses may also be applied retroactively. In addition, there have been constant changes and amendments of laws and regulations over the past 30 years in order to keep up with the rapidly changing society and economy in China. Because government agencies and courts provide interpretations of laws and regulations and decide contractual disputes and issues, their inexperience in adjudicating new business and new polices or regulations in certain less developed areas causes uncertainty and may affect our business. Consequently, we cannot clearly foresee the future direction of Chinese legislative activities with respect to either businesses with foreign investment or the effectiveness on enforcement of laws and regulations in China. The uncertainties, including new laws and regulations and changes of existing laws, as well as judicial interpretation by inexperienced officials in the agencies and courts in certain areas, may cause possible problems to foreign investors.

Lack of financial leasing regulations could negatively impact our business.

Currently, there is no uniform equipment title registration process and system in China, as each municipality adopts different procedures. The pending China Financial Leasing Law is expected to unify the registration procedures and protect the lessor against a “good-faith” third-party claim if the leased assets are registered in the lessor’s name. In the absence of such central title registration system, the lessors’ ownership interest on the leased equipment may be threatened. Loss of ownership to the leased equipment will have a negative effect on our financial position.

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

PRC laws and regulations govern our operation in the PRC. Most of our subsidiaries are organized under PRC laws. The PRC legal system is a civil law system based on written statutes, and prior court decisions have little precedent value and can only be used as a reference. Additionally, PRC written statutes 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 property ownership and development. However, due to the fact that 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, interpretations of the PRC laws and regulations involves a degree, sometimes a significant degree, of uncertainty. Depending on the governmental agency or how an application or case is presented to such agency, we may receive less favorable interpretations of laws and regulations than our competitors. In addition, any litigation in the PRC may be protracted and result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and management attention. All of these uncertainties may limit the legal protections available to our investors and shareholders.

Foreign ownership in financial guarantee and financial leasing businesses may be changed due to the uncertainty of evolving PRC laws and regulations.

We operate our financial guarantee and financial leasing business under foreign ownership structures in China. According to the Catalogue for the Guidance of Foreign Investment Industries (“Foreign Investment Catalogue”) promulgated by the Ministry of Commerce of the PRC (“MOFCOM”) and the National Development and Reform Commission (“NDRC”) on March 10, 2015 and effective as of April 10, 2015, our operation of financial guarantee and financial leasing businesses with foreign ownership is permitted under current PRC laws and regulations. However, the PRC laws and regulations are not fully developed and the Chinese government has been revising the laws and regulations since the Reform and Opening-up in 1979.There is still significant uncertainty resulting from the evolving PRC laws and regulations. As a result, foreign investment in these financial industries may be restricted or prohibited in the future if PRC laws and regulations are changed or revised due to the evolving political or economic conditions.

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

Our business is subject to general economic and social conditions in the PRC. Natural disasters, epidemics and other acts of God which are beyond our control may adversely affect the economy, infrastructure and livelihood of the

36

people in the PRC. Some regions in the PRC are under the threat of earthquake, sandstorm, snowstorm, fire, drought, or epidemics such as Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome, SARS, H5N1 avian flu, the human swine flu, also known as influenza A (H1N1) or the recent cases of H7N9. For instance, two serious earthquakes hit Sichuan province in May 2008 and April 2013, and resulted in significant loss of lives and destruction of assets in the region. In addition, past occurrences of epidemics, depending on their scale, have caused different degrees of damage to the national and local economies in the PRC. A recurrence of SARS or an outbreak of any other epidemics in the PRC, such as the H5N1 or the H7N9 avian flu, especially in the cities where we have operations, may result in material disruption of our business, which in turn may adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

Our shareholders may experience difficulties in effecting service of legal process and enforcing judgments against us, our Directors or senior management and to take action on the basis of violations of the listing rules.

Our major operations are located in the PRC, and all of our assets and subsidiaries are located in the PRC. Most of our directors and senior management reside within the PRC. The assets of these Directors and senior management are also located within the PRC. As a result, it may not be possible to effect service of process upon most of our Directors and senior management outside the PRC. Moreover, the PRC does not have treaties providing for reciprocal recognition and enforcement of court judgments in the United States. As a result, in the PRC, recognition and enforcement of court judgments from the jurisdictions mentioned above may be difficult or impossible in relation to any matter that is not subject to a binding arbitration provision.

We are a holding company located outside China and rely on dividend payments from our subsidiaries. Our ability to pay upstream dividends may be restricted due to foreign exchange controls and other Chinese regulations.

We are a holding company and a significant part of our business is carried out through our operating subsidiaries in the PRC. As a result, our ability to pay dividends depends on dividends and other distributions received from our operating subsidiaries. If any of our subsidiaries incurs debt or losses, it may impair its ability to pay dividends or other distributions to us, which could adversely affect our ability to pay dividends to our Shareholders.

PRC law requires any foreign invested enterprises, such as our subsidiaries in the PRC, to set aside part of its net profit as statutory reserves. Our PRC subsidiaries are required to set aside each year at least 10% of their after-tax profits for such year, as reported in its PRC statutory financial statements, to the statutory surplus reserve of such PRC subsidiary. Such reserve may not be discontinued until the accumulated amount has reached 50% of the registered capital of the PRC subsidiary. These statutory reserves are not available for distribution to us, except in liquidation. The calculation of distributable profits is based on PRC Accounting Standards and Regulations, which differ in many aspects from US GAAP. As a result, our subsidiary in the PRC may not be able to pay any dividend in a given year to us if it does not have distributable profits as determined under the PRC Accounting Standards and Regulations, even if it has profits for that year as determined under US GAAP.

Limitations on the ability of our PRC operating subsidiary to remit its entire after-tax profits to us in the form of dividends or other distributions could adversely affect our ability to grow, make investments that could be beneficial to our business, pay dividends and otherwise fund and conduct our business. We cannot assure that our subsidiaries will generate sufficient earnings and cash flow to pay dividends or otherwise distribute sufficient funds to us to enable us to pay dividends to our Shareholders.

The PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law (“PRC EIT Law”) and its implementation rules stipulate that if an entity is deemed to be a non-PRC resident enterprise without an establishment or place of business in the PRC, withholding tax at the rate of 10% will be applicable to any dividends paid to it by its PRC subsidiary, unless it is entitled to reduction or elimination of such tax, including by tax treaties.

In addition, restrictive covenants in bank credit facilities or other arrangements that we or our subsidiaries may enter into in the future may also restrict the ability of our subsidiaries to pay dividends or make distributions to us. These restrictions could reduce the amount of dividends or other distributions we receive from our subsidiaries, which in turn would restrict our ability to pay dividends to our shareholders.

Failure by our operating subsidiaries to pay us dividends could negatively impact our cash flow and our ability to make dividend distributions to our shareholders, including during periods in which we are profitable.

Risks Related to the Transactions

Future resales of the ordinary shares of Holdco issued to the WFG shareholders may cause the market price of Holdco’s securities to drop significantly, even if Holdco’s business is doing well.

Under the merger agreement, the WFG shareholders could receive up to approximately 16,300,000 Holdco shares assuming that the maximum number of Sino public shares are converted as described above. Pursuant to the merger agreement, the WFG shareholders will be restricted from selling any of the Holdco shares that they receive as a result of the transactions during the twelve month period after the closing date of the transactions, subject to certain exceptions, and the WFG shareholders will be required to enter into lock-up agreements to such effect. See the section entitled “ The Merger Proposal — Sale Restriction; Resale Registration .”

Subject to these restrictions, Holdco will enter into an amended and restated registration rights agreement at the closing of the merger with the WFG shareholders pursuant to which such holders will be granted certain demand and “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to their securities. Furthermore, the WFG shareholders may sell Holdco shares pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, if available, rather than under a registration statement. In these cases, the resales must meet the criteria and conform to the requirements of that rule, including, because Sino and Holdco are currently shell companies, waiting until one year after Holdco’s filing with the SEC of a Current Report on Form 8-K containing Form 10 type information reflecting the transactions with WFG.

Upon expiration of the applicable lock-up periods, and upon effectiveness of any registration statement Holdco files pursuant to the amended and restated registration rights agreement or upon satisfaction of the requirements of Rule 144 under the Securities Act, the WFG shareholders may sell large amounts of Holdco shares in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions, which could have the effect of increasing the volatility in Holdco’s stock price or putting significant downward pressure on the price of Holdco’s stock.

Also pursuant to the amended and restated registration rights agreement, Sino’s initial stockholders will be entitled to make a demand that Sino register the resale of their initial shares at any time commencing three months prior to the date on which their shares may be released from escrow. The presence of these additional ordinary shares trading in the public market may have an adverse effect on the market price of Holdco’s securities

If Sino stockholders fail to properly elect to exercise their conversion rights or fail to deliver their shares to the transfer agent after so electing, they will not be entitled to convert their shares of common stock of Sino into a pro rata portion of the trust account.

Sino stockholders holding public shares may demand that Sino convert their shares into a pro rata portion of the trust account, calculated as of two business days prior to the anticipated consummation of the transactions. Sino stockholders who seek to exercise this conversion right must deliver their stock (either physically or electronically) to Sino’s transfer agent at any time through the vote at the meeting. As a result, your stock must be received by Sino’s transfer agent by the time the vote on the merger proposal has been completed in order to properly effectuate your conversion rights. Any Sino stockholder who fails to properly elect to exercise such conversion rights or who fails to deliver his stock as described above will not be entitled to convert his or her shares into a pro rata portion of the trust account for conversion of his shares. See the section entitled “ Special Meeting of Sino Stockholders — Conversion Rights ” for the procedures to be followed if you wish to convert your shares to cash.

Public stockholders, together with any affiliates of theirs or any other person with whom they are acting in concert or as a “group,” will be restricted from seeking conversion rights with respect to more than 20% of the public shares.

A public stockholder, together with any affiliate of his or any other person with whom he is acting in concert or as a “group,” will be restricted from seeking conversion rights with respect to more than 20% of the public shares. Accordingly, if you hold more than 20% of the public shares and the merger proposal is approved, you will not be able to seek conversion rights with respect to the full amount of your shares and may be forced to hold the shares in excess of 20% or sell them in the open market. Sino cannot assure you that the value of such excess shares will appreciate over time following a business combination or that the market price of Sino’s shares of common stock will exceed the per-share conversion price. In order to determine whether a stockholder is acting in concert or as a group with another stockholder, Sino will require each public stockholder seeking to exercise conversion rights to certify to Sino whether such stockholder is acting in concert or as a group with any other stockholder. Such certifications, together

38

with other public information relating to stock ownership available to Sino at that time, such as Section 13D, Section 13G and Section 16 filings under the Exchange Act, will be the sole basis on which Sino makes the above-referenced determination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, stockholders may challenge Sino’s determination as to whether a stockholder is acting in concert or as a group with another stockholder in a court of competent jurisdiction.

Nasdaq may not list Holdco’s shares on its exchange, which could limit investors’ ability to make transactions in Holdco’s securities and subject Holdco to additional trading restrictions.

A condition of the merger agreement is that Holdco’s shares be listed on Nasdaq upon consummation of the transactions (although this condition may be waived by WFG). Holdco will be required to meet the initial listing requirements to be listed. Holdco may not be able to meet those initial listing requirements. Even if Holdco’s securities are so listed, Holdco may be unable to maintain the listing of its securities in the future.

If Holdco fails to meet the initial listing requirements and Nasdaq does not list its securities on its exchange and the requirement under the merger agreement to have Holdco’s shares listed is waived by WFG, Holdco could face significant material adverse consequences, including:

•       a limited availability of market quotations for its securities;

•       a limited amount of news and analyst coverage for the company; and

•       a decreased ability to issue additional securities or obtain additional financing in the future.

Holdco’s ability to request indemnification from WFG securityholders for damages arising out of the transactions are limited in certain instances to those claims where damages exceed $2,000,000 and is also limited to the shares placed in escrow.

At the closing of the transactions, 10% of the Holdco shares to be issued to the WFG shareholders will be deposited in escrow to provide a fund for payment to Holdco with respect to its post-closing rights to indemnification under the merger agreement for breaches of representations and warranties and covenants by WFG and its shareholders, and for certain other indemnifiable matters. Claims for indemnification may only be asserted by Holdco once the damages exceed a $2,000,000 deductible (subject to certain exceptions), in which event the amount payable shall be the amount of the entire loss. Accordingly, it is possible that Holdco will not be entitled to indemnification even if WFG is found to have breached certain of its representations and warranties and covenants contained in the merger agreement if such breaches would only result in damages to Holdco of less than $2,000,000. Also, the aggregate liability for damages is limited to the shares placed in escrow.

Sino’s current directors and executive officers and their affiliates own shares of common stock and rights that will be worthless and have made loans and incurred reimbursable expenses that may not be reimbursed or repaid if the transactions are not approved. Such interests may have influenced their decision to approve the business combination with WFG.

Sino’s officers and directors and/or their affiliates beneficially own insider shares and private units that they purchased prior to, or simultaneously with, Sino’s initial public offering. Sino’s executive officers, directors and their affiliates have no redemption rights with respect to these securities in the event a business combination is not effected in the required time period. Therefore, if the transactions or another business combination are not approved within the required time period, such securities held by such persons will be worthless. Additionally, Jianming Hao has loaned Sino an aggregate of $300,000. If Sino fails to consummate a business combination, the loan would become unsecured liabilities of Sino; however, Mr. Hao has waived any claim against the trust account. Accordingly, Sino will most likely not be able to repay this loan if the transaction with WFG or another business combination is not completed. In addition, upon consummation of a business combination, the $300,000 loan is convertible at Mr. Hao’s election into units of Sino at a conversion price of $10.00 per unit. Accordingly, if a business combination is not consummated, Mr. Hao also will lose the opportunity to acquire an additional 33,000 shares underlying such units. Furthermore, Sino’s officers, directors, initial stockholders and their affiliates are entitled to reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them in connection with certain activities on Sino’s behalf, such as identifying and investigating possible business targets and business combinations. These expenses will be repaid upon completion of the business combination with WFG. However, if Sino fails to consummate the business combination, they will not have any claim against the trust account for reimbursement. Accordingly, Sino may not be able to reimburse these expenses if the transactions are not completed. As of September 8, 2015, Sino’s officers, directors,

39

initial stockholders and their affiliates had not incurred any unpaid reimbursable expenses but they may incur such expenses in the future. See the section entitled “ The Merger Proposal — Interests of Sino’s Directors and Officers in the Transactions .”

These financial interests may have influenced the decision of Sino’s directors and officers to approve the business combination with WFG and to continue to pursue such business combination. In considering the recommendations of Sino’s board of directors to vote for the merger proposal and other proposals, its stockholders should consider these interests.

Sino’s chairman of the board and chief executive officer is liable to ensure that proceeds of the trust are not reduced by vendor claims in the event the business combination is not consummated. Such liability may have influenced his decision to approve the business combination with WFG.

If the transactions or another business combination are not consummated by Sino within the required time period, Jianming Hao, Sino’s chairman and chief executive officer, will be personally liable to ensure that the proceeds in the trust account are not reduced by the claims of target businesses or claims of vendors or other entities that are owed money by Sino for services rendered or contracted for or products sold to Sino, but only if such a vendor or target business has not executed a waiver agreement. If Sino consummates a business combination, on the other hand, Sino will be liable for all such claims. Neither Sino nor Mr. Hao has any reason to believe that Mr. Hao will not be able to fulfill his indemnity obligations to Sino. See the section entitled “ Other Information Related to Sino — Sino’s Plan of Operation ” for further information.

These personal obligations of Mr. Hao may have influenced Sino’s board of director’s decision to approve the business combination with WFG and to continue to pursue such business combination. In considering the recommendations of Sino’s board of directors to vote for the merger proposal and other proposals, Sino’s stockholders should consider these interests.

The exercise of Sino’s directors’ and officers’ discretion in agreeing to changes or waivers in the terms of the business combination may result in a conflict of interest when determining whether such changes to the terms of the business combination or waivers of conditions are appropriate and in Sino’s stockholders’ best interest.

In the period leading up to the closing of the merger, events may occur that, pursuant to the merger agreement, would require Sino to agree to amend the merger agreement, to consent to certain actions taken by WFG or to waive rights that Sino is entitled to under the merger agreement. Such events could arise because of changes in the course of WFG’s business, a request by WFG to undertake actions that would otherwise be prohibited by the terms of the merger agreement or the occurrence of other events that would have a material adverse effect on WFG’s business and would entitle Sino to terminate the merger agreement. In any of such circumstances, it would be at Sino’s discretion, acting through its board of directors, to grant its consent or waive those rights. The existence of the financial and personal interests of the directors described in the preceding risk factors may result in a conflict of interest on the part of one or more of the directors between what he or they may believe is best for Sino and what he or they may believe is best for himself or themselves in determining whether or not to take the requested action. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, Sino does not believe there will be any changes or waivers that Sino’s directors and officers would be likely to make after stockholder approval of the merger proposal has been obtained. While certain changes could be made without further stockholder approval, Sino will circulate a new or amended proxy statement/prospectus and resolicit Sino’s stockholders if changes to the terms of the transaction that would have a material impact on its stockholders are required prior to the vote on the merger proposal.

If Sino is unable to complete the business combination with WFG or another business combination by September 1, 2016, Sino will cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, redeeming 100% of the outstanding public shares and, subject to the approval of its remaining stockholders and its board of directors, dissolving and liquidating. In such event, third parties may bring claims against Sino and, as a result, the proceeds held in the trust account could be reduced and the per-share liquidation price received by stockholders could be less than $10.00 per share.

Under the terms of Sino’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, Sino must complete the business combination with WFG or another business combination by September 1, 2016, or Sino must cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, redeeming 100% of the outstanding public shares and, subject to the approval of its remaining stockholders and its board of directors, dissolving and liquidating. In such event, third parties may

40

bring claims against Sino. Although Sino has obtained waiver agreements from certain vendors and service providers it has engaged and owes money to, and the prospective target businesses it has negotiated with, whereby such parties have waived any right, title, interest or claim of any kind they may have in or to any monies held in the trust account, there is no guarantee that they or other vendors who did not execute such waivers will not seek recourse against the trust account notwithstanding such agreements. Furthermore, there is no guarantee that a court will uphold the validity of such agreements. Accordingly, the proceeds held in the trust account could be subject to claims which could take priority over those of Sino’s public stockholders. If Sino is unable to complete a business combination within the required time period, Jianming Hao has agreed that he will be personally liable to ensure that the proceeds in the trust account are not reduced by the claims of target businesses or claims of vendors or other entities that are owed money by Sino for services rendered or contracted for or products sold to Sino, but only if such a vendor or prospective target business does not execute such a waiver. However, he may not be able to meet such obligation. Therefore, the per-share distribution from the trust account in such a situation may be less than $10.00 due to such claims.

Additionally, if Sino is forced to file a bankruptcy case or an involuntary bankruptcy case is filed against it which is not dismissed, or if Sino otherwise enters compulsory or court supervised liquidation, the proceeds held in the trust account could be subject to applicable bankruptcy law, and may be included in its bankruptcy estate and subject to the claims of third parties with priority over the claims of its stockholders. To the extent any bankruptcy claims deplete the trust account, Sino may not be able to return to its public stockholders at least $10.00.

Sino’s stockholders may be held liable for claims by third parties against Sino to the extent of distributions received by them.

If Sino is unable to complete the business combination with WFG or another business combination within the required time period, Sino will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem 100% of the outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of its remaining stockholders and its board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject (in the case of (ii) and (iii) above) to its obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. Sino cannot assure you that it will properly assess all claims that may be potentially brought against Sino. As such, Sino’s stockholders could potentially be liable for any claims to the extent of distributions received by them (but no more) and any liability of its stockholders may extend well beyond the third anniversary of the date of distribution. Accordingly, Sino cannot assure you that third parties will not seek to recover from its stockholders amounts owed to them by Sino.

If Sino is forced to file a bankruptcy case or an involuntary bankruptcy case is filed against it which is not dismissed, any distributions received by stockholders could be viewed under applicable debtor/creditor and/or bankruptcy laws as either a “preferential transfer” or a “fraudulent conveyance.” As a result, a bankruptcy court could seek to recover all amounts received by Sino’s stockholders. Furthermore, because Sino intends to distribute the proceeds held in the trust account to its public stockholders promptly after the expiration of the time period to complete a business combination, this may be viewed or interpreted as giving preference to its public stockholders over any potential creditors with respect to access to or distributions from its assets. Furthermore, Sino’s board may be viewed as having breached their fiduciary duties to its creditors and/or may have acted in bad faith, and thereby exposing itself and the company to claims of punitive damages, by paying public stockholders from the trust account prior to addressing the claims of creditors. Sino cannot assure you that claims will not be brought against it for these reasons.

Activities taken by existing Sino stockholders to increase the likelihood of approval of the merger proposal and other proposals could have a depressive effect on Sino’s stock.

At any time prior to the special meeting, during a period when they are not then aware of any material nonpublic information regarding Sino or its securities, Sino’s initial stockholders, officers, directors, WFG or WFG’s securityholders and/or their respective affiliates may purchase shares from institutional and other investors who vote, or indicate an intention to vote, against the merger proposal, or execute agreements to purchase such shares from such investors in the future, or they may enter into transactions with such investors and others to provide them with incentives to acquire shares of Sino common stock or vote their shares in favor of the merger proposal. The purpose of such share purchases and other transactions would be to increase the likelihood of satisfaction of the requirements that the holders of a majority of the then outstanding shares of common stock present and entitled to vote at the

41

meeting to approve the merger proposal vote in its favor and that holders of 3,080,100 or fewer of the public shares demand conversion of their public shares into cash where it appears that such requirements would otherwise not be met. Entering into any such arrangements may have a depressive effect on Sino common stock. For example, as a result of these arrangements, an investor or holder may have the ability to effectively purchase shares at a price lower than market and may therefore be more likely to sell the shares he owns, either prior to or immediately after the special meeting.

The unaudited pro forma financial information included elsewhere in this joint proxy statement/prospectus may not be indicative of what the combined company’s actual financial position or results of operations would have been.

The unaudited pro forma financial information in this joint proxy statement/prospectus is presented for illustrative purposes only, has been prepared based on a number of assumptions and is not necessarily indicative of what the combined company’s actual financial position or results of operations would have been had the business combination been completed on the dates indicated. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not reflect any cost savings, operating synergies or revenue enhancements that the combined companies may achieve as a result of the business combination or the costs to combine the operations of Sino and WFG or the costs necessary to achieve these cost savings, operating synergies and revenue enhancements. See “ Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Combined Financial Information ”.

If the adjournment proposal is not approved, and an insufficient number of votes have been obtained to authorize the consummation of the transactions, Sino’s board of directors will not have the ability to adjourn the special meeting to a later date in order to solicit further votes, and, therefore, the merger will not be approved.

Sino’s board of directors is seeking approval to adjourn the special meeting to a later date or dates if, at the special meeting, based upon the tabulated votes, there are insufficient votes to approve the consummation of the merger. If the adjournment proposal is not approved, Sino’s board will not have the ability to adjourn the special meeting to a later date and, therefore, will not have more time to solicit votes to approve the consummation of the transactions. In such event, the merger would not be completed.

42

FORWARD -LOO KIN G STATEMENTS

Sino believes that some of the information in this proxy statement/prospectus constitutes forward-looking statements within the definition of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. However, because Sino is a “blank check” company, the safe-harbor provisions of that act do not apply to statements made in this proxy statement/prospectus. You can identify these statements by forward-looking words such as “may,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “contemplate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “intends,” and “continue” or similar words. You should read statements that contain these words carefully because they:

•       discuss future expectations;

•       contain projections of future results of operations or financial condition; or

•       state other “forward-looking” information.

Sino believes it is important to communicate its expectations to its securityholders. However, there may be events in the future that Sino is not able to predict accurately or over which it has no control. The risk factors and cautionary language discussed in this proxy statement/prospectus provide examples of risks, uncertainties and events that may cause actual results to differ materially from the expectations described by Sino or WFG in such forward-looking statements, including among other things:

•       the number and percentage of its public stockholders voting against the merger proposal and/or seeking conversion;

•       the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the merger agreement;

•       the ability to maintain the listing of Holdco’s ordinary shares on Nasdaq following the business combination;

•       changes adversely affecting the business in which WFG is engaged;

•       management of growth;

•       general economic conditions;

•       WFG’s business strategy and plans; and

•       the result of future financing efforts.

You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus.

All forward-looking statements included herein attributable to any of Sino, WFG or any person acting on either party’s behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained or referred to in this section. Except to the extent required by applicable laws and regulations, Sino and WFG undertake no obligations to update these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this proxy statement/prospectus or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

Before a stockholder grants its proxy or instructs how its vote should be cast or vote on the merger proposal, charter proposals, incentive compensation plan proposal, or the adjournment proposal, it should be aware that the occurrence of the events described in the “ Risk Factors ” section and elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus may adversely affect Sino and/or WFG.

SPECIAL MEETING OF S IN O STOCKHOLDERS

General

Sino is furnishing this proxy statement/prospectus to Sino’s stockholders as part of the solicitation of proxies by Sino’s board of directors for use at the special meeting in lieu of an annual meeting of Sino stockholders to be held on October 20, 2015, and at any adjournment or postponement thereof. This proxy statement/prospectus provides Sino’s stockholders with information they need to know to be able to vote or instruct their vote to be cast at the special meeting.

Date, Time and Place

The special meeting of stockholders will be held on October 20, 2015, at 10:00 a.m., eastern time, at the offices of Graubard Miller, Sino’s counsel, at The Chrysler Building, 405 Lexington Avenue, 11 th Floor, New York, New York 10174.

Purpose of the Sino Special Meeting

At the special meeting, Sino is asking holders of Sino common stock to:

•       consider and vote upon a proposal to adopt the merger agreement and approve the business combination contemplated by the merger agreement (merger proposal);

•       consider and vote upon separate proposals to approve the following material differences between the constitutional documents of Holdco and Sino: (i) the name of the new public entity will be “Wins Finance Holdings Inc.” as opposed to “Sino Mercury Acquisition Corp.”; (ii) Holdco has 100,000,000 authorized ordinary shares and 1,000,000 authorized preferred shares, as opposed to Sino having 25,000,000 authorized shares of common stock and 1,000,000 authorized shares of preferred stock; (iii) Holdco’s corporate existence is perpetual as opposed to Sino’s corporate existence terminating if a business combination is not consummated by Sino within a specified period of time; and (iv) Holdco’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association does not include the various provisions applicable only to specified purpose acquisition corporations that Sino’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation contains (charter proposals);

•       consider and vote upon a proposal to approve the adoption of the 2015 Long-Term Equity Incentive Plan (incentive compensation plan proposal); and

•       consider and vote upon a proposal to adjourn the special meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary, to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies in the event that, based upon the tabulated votes at the time of the special meeting, Sino would not have been authorized to consummate the transactions contemplated herein (adjournment proposal).

Recommendation of Sino Board of Directors

Sino’s board of directors has unanimously determined that the merger proposal is fair to and in the best interests of Sino and its stockholders; has unanimously approved the merger proposal; unanimously recommends that stockholders vote “FOR” the merger proposal; unanimously recommends that stockholders vote “FOR” the charter proposals; unanimously recommends that stockholders vote “FOR” the incentive compensation plan proposal; and unanimously recommends that stockholders vote “FOR” an adjournment proposal if one is presented to the meeting.

Record Date; Who is Entitled to Vote

Sino has fixed the close of business on September 18, 2015, as the “record date” for determining Sino stockholders entitled to notice of and to attend and vote at the special meeting. As of the close of business on the record date, there were 5,310,125 shares of Sino common stock outstanding and entitled to vote. Each share of Sino common stock is entitled to one vote per share at the special meeting.

Pursuant to agreements with Sino, the 1,020,025 initial shares held by the initial stockholders, the shares included in the 210,000 private units held by the initial stockholders and any shares of common stock acquired in the aftermarket by such stockholders, will be voted in favor of the merger proposal. Such holders have indicated they intend to vote their shares in favor of the other proposals presented at the special meeting.

44

Quorum

The presence, in person or by proxy, of a majority of all the outstanding shares of common stock entitled to vote constitutes a quorum at the special meeting.

Abstentions and Broker Non-Votes

Proxies that are marked “abstain” and proxies relating to “street name” shares that are returned to Sino but marked by brokers as “not voted” will be treated as shares present for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum on all matters. The latter will not be treated as shares entitled to vote on the matter as to which authority to vote is withheld from the broker. If a stockholder does not give the broker voting instructions, under applicable self-regulatory organization rules, its broker may not vote its shares on “non-routine” proposals, such as the merger proposal and the charter proposals.

Vote Required

The merger proposal, charter proposals and incentive compensation plan proposal will require the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of Sino common stock outstanding on the record date. Because these proposals require the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of common stock outstanding for approval, abstentions and shares not entitled to vote because of a broker non-vote will have the same effect as a vote against each proposal.

The approval of the adjournment proposal, if presented, will require the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of Sino common stock represented and entitled to vote thereon at the meeting. Abstentions are deemed entitled to vote on such proposals. Therefore, they have the same effect as a vote against the proposal. Broker non-votes are not deemed entitled to vote on such proposals and, therefore, they will have no effect on the vote on such proposals.

Voting Your Shares

Each share of Sino common stock that you own in your name entitles you to one vote. Your proxy card shows the number of shares of Sino common stock that you own. If your shares are held in “street name” or are in a margin or similar account, you should contact your broker to ensure that votes related to the shares you beneficially own are properly counted.

There are two ways to vote your shares of Sino common stock at the special meeting:

•         You Can Vote By Signing and Returning the Enclosed Proxy Card . If you vote by proxy card, your “proxy,” whose name is listed on the proxy card, will vote your shares as you instruct on the proxy card. If you sign and return the proxy card but do not give instructions on how to vote your shares, your shares will be voted as recommended by Sino’s board “FOR” the merger proposal, the charter proposals the incentive compensation plan proposal and the adjournment proposal, if presented. Votes received after a matter has been voted upon at the special meeting will not be counted.

•         You Can Attend the Special Meeting and Vote in Person . You will receive a ballot when you arrive. However, if your shares are held in the name of your broker, bank or another nominee, you must get a proxy from the broker, bank or other nominee. That is the only way Sino can be sure that the broker, bank or nominee has not already voted your shares.

Revoking Your Proxy

If you are a stockholder and you give a proxy, you may revoke it at any time before it is exercised by doing any one of the following:

•       you may send another proxy card with a later date;

•       you may notify Richard Xu, Sino’s secretary, in writing before the special meeting that you have revoked your proxy; or

•       you may attend the special meeting, revoke your proxy, and vote in person, as indicated above.

Who Can Answer Your Questions About Voting Your Shares

If you are a stockholder and have any questions about how to vote or direct a vote in respect of your shares of Sino common stock, you may call Richard Xu, Sino’s secretary, at (646) 480-9882.

Conversion Rights

Holders of public shares may seek to convert their shares, regardless of whether they vote for or against the proposed transactions. Any stockholder holding public shares as of the record date who votes in favor of or against the merger proposal may demand that Sino convert such shares into a full pro rata portion of the trust account (which was approximately $10.00 per share as of September 18, 2015), calculated as of two business days prior to the anticipated consummation of the transactions. If a holder properly seeks conversion as described in this section and the transactions are consummated, Sino will convert these shares into a pro rata portion of funds deposited in the trust account and the holder will no longer own these shares following the transactions.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a holder of public shares, together with any affiliate of his or any other person with whom he is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) will be restricted from seeking conversion rights with respect to 20% or more of the shares of the public shares. Accordingly, all public shares in excess of 20% held by a public stockholder will not be converted to cash.

Sino’s initial stockholders will not have conversion rights with respect to any shares of common stock owned by them, directly or indirectly.

Sino stockholders who seek to convert their public shares must affirmatively vote for or against the merger proposal. Sino stockholders who do not vote with respect to the merger proposal, including as a result of an abstention or a broker non-vote, may not convert their shares into cash. Holders may demand conversion either by checking the box on their proxy card or by submitting their request in writing to Richard Xu, Sino’s secretary. Any such demand must be made no later than the vote on the merger proposal. Holders demanding conversion must deliver their stock, either physically or electronically using Depository Trust Company’s DWAC System, to Sino’s transfer agent at any time through the vote at the meeting. As a result, your stock must be received by Sino’s transfer agent by the time the vote on the merger proposal has been completed in order to properly effectuate your conversion rights. If you hold the shares in street name, you will have to coordinate with your broker to have your shares certificated or delivered electronically. Certificates that have not been tendered (either physically or electronically) in accordance with these procedures will not be converted into cash. There is a nominal cost associated with this tendering process and the act of certificating the shares or delivering them through the DWAC system. The transfer agent will typically charge the tendering broker $45 and it would be up to the broker whether or not to pass this cost on to the converting stockholder. In the event the proposed business combination is not consummated this may result in an additional cost to stockholders for the return of their shares.

Any request to convert such shares, once made, may be withdrawn at any time up to the vote on the proposed transactions. Furthermore, if a holder of a public share delivered its certificate in connection with an election of its conversion and subsequently decides prior to the applicable date not to elect to exercise such rights, it may simply request that the transfer agent return the certificate (physically or electronically).

If the transactions are not approved or completed for any reason, then Sino’s public stockholders who elected to exercise their conversion rights will not be entitled to convert their shares into a full pro rata portion of the trust account, as applicable. In such case, Sino will promptly return any shares delivered by public holders. If the holders of 3,080,100 public shares (representing approximately 75% of the public shares) or more properly demand conversion of their shares, Sino will not be able to consummate the transactions. In connection with Sino’s initial public offering, a stockholder of Sino has agreed that it will vote 1,000,000 shares purchased in the initial public offering in favor of any proposed initial business combination and will not convert any such shares for cash from the trust account in connection with such a stockholder vote to approve the business combination. Accordingly, the requirement that holders of not more than 3,080,100 of the public shares exercise their conversion rights will be satisfied by this arrangement.

The closing price of Sino common stock on September 8, 2015 was $9.95. The cash held in the trust account on such date was approximately $40,801,000 ($10.00 per public share). Prior to exercising conversion rights, stockholders should verify the market price of Sino common stock as they may receive higher proceeds from the sale of their common stock in the public market than from exercising their conversion rights if the market price per share is

46

higher than the conversion price. Sino cannot assure its stockholders that they will be able to sell their shares of Sino common stock in the open market, even if the market price per share is higher than the conversion price stated above, as there may not be sufficient liquidity in its securities when its stockholders wish to sell their shares.

If a holder of public shares exercises its conversion rights, then it will be exchanging its shares of Sino common stock for cash and will no longer own those shares. You will be entitled to receive cash for these shares only if you affirmatively vote for or against the merger proposal, properly demand conversion no later than the vote on the merger proposal, and deliver your stock certificate (either physically or electronically) to Sino’s transfer agent at any time through the vote at the meeting, and the merger is consummated.

Appraisal Rights

Neither stockholders nor rights holders of Sino have appraisal rights in connection the transactions under the DGCL.

Proxy Solicitation Costs

Sino is soliciting proxies on behalf of its board of directors. This solicitation is being made by mail but also may be made by telephone or in person. Sino and its directors, officers and employees may also solicit proxies in person, by telephone or by other electronic means. Sino will bear the cost of the solicitation.

Sino will ask banks, brokers and other institutions, nominees and fiduciaries to forward the proxy materials to their principals and to obtain their authority to execute proxies and voting instructions. Sino will reimburse them for their reasonable expenses.

Sino Initial Stockholders

As of the record date, Sino’s initial stockholders beneficially owned and were entitled to vote an aggregate of 1,020,025 initial shares that were issued prior to Sino’s initial public offering. Best Apex Limited, an initial stockholder, also purchased an aggregate of 210,000 private units simultaneously with the consummation of Sino’s initial public offering. The shares held by the Sino initial stockholders currently constitute approximately 23.2% of the outstanding shares of Sino’s common stock. In connection with the initial public offering, the initial stockholders agreed to vote the initial shares, the shares included in the private units as well as any shares of common stock acquired in the aftermarket, in favor of the merger proposal. The Sino initial stockholders have also indicated that they intend to vote their shares in favor of all other proposals being presented at the meeting. The initial shares and private units have no right to participate in any redemption distribution and will be worthless if no business combination is effected by Sino. In connection with the initial public offering, the Sino initial stockholders entered into an escrow agreement pursuant to which their initial shares are held in escrow and may not be transferred (subject to limited exceptions) until with respect to 50% of the initial shares, the earlier of one year after the date of the consummation of an initial business combination and the date on which the closing price of our common stock exceeds $13.00 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period following the consummation of an initial business combination and, with respect to the remaining 50% of the initial shares, one year after the date of the consummation of an initial business combination, or earlier in each case if, subsequent to our initial business combination, we consummate a subsequent liquidation, merger, stock exchange or other similar transaction which results in all of our stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of common stock for cash, securities or other property.

At any time prior to the special meeting, during a period when they are not then aware of any material nonpublic information regarding Sino or its securities, the Sino initial stockholders, WFG or WFG’s shareholders and/or their respective affiliates may purchase shares from institutional and other investors who vote, or indicate an intention to vote, against the merger proposal, or execute agreements to purchase such shares from such investors in the future, or they may enter into transactions with such investors and others to provide them with incentives to acquire shares of Sino’s common stock or vote their shares in favor of the merger proposal. The purpose of such share purchases and other transactions would be to increase the likelihood of satisfaction of the requirement that the holders of a majority of the then outstanding shares of common stock present and entitled to vote at the meeting to approve the merger proposal vote in its favor or to decrease the number of public shares that were being converted to cash. While the exact nature of any such incentives has not been determined as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, they might include, without limitation, arrangements to protect such investors or holders against potential loss in

47

value of their shares, including the granting of put options and the transfer to such investors or holders of shares or rights owned by the Sino initial stockholders for nominal value.

Entering into any such arrangements may have a depressive effect on Sino common stock. For example, as a result of these arrangements, an investor or holder may have the ability to effectively purchase shares at a price lower than market and may therefore be more likely to sell the shares he owns, either prior to or immediately after the special meeting.

If such transactions are effected, the consequence could be to cause the merger to be approved in circumstances where such approval could not otherwise be obtained. Purchases of shares by the persons described above would allow them to exert more influence over the approval of the merger proposal and other proposals and would likely increase the chances that such proposals would be approved.

As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, there have been no such discussions and no agreements to such effect have been entered into with any such investor or holder. Sino will file a Current Report on Form 8-K to disclose arrangements entered into or significant purchases made by any of the aforementioned persons that would affect the vote on the merger proposal or the conversion threshold. Any such report will include descriptions of any arrangements entered into or significant purchases by any of the aforementioned persons.

THE MERGER P RO POSAL

The discussion in this proxy statement/prospectus of the transactions and the principal terms of the merger agreement is subject to, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to, the merger agreement. A copy of the merger agreement is attached as Annex A to this proxy statement/prospectus.

Structure of the Transaction

Pursuant to the merger agreement, (1) Sino will be merged with and into Holdco, with Holdco surviving as the new public company and (2) immediately following the merger, the WFG shareholders will exchange 100% of the ordinary shares of WFG for cash and ordinary shares of Holdco. The merger and share exchange are intended to be consummated at the same time. However, from a practical perspective, the merger documentation required to be filed with respect to the merger will be filed immediately prior to the documentation required to be filed with respect to the share exchange.

Upon consummation of the merger,

•       each share of Sino common stock will be exchanged for one ordinary share of Holdco, except that holders of public shares shall be entitled to elect instead to receive a pro rata portion of Sino’s trust account, as provided in Sino’s charter documents; and

•       each Sino right will be exchanged for one-tenth of one ordinary share of Holdco.

Upon consummation of the share exchange, the WFG securityholders will receive from Holdco:

•       cash equal to the amount of cash remaining in Sino’s trust fund after payment of all amounts to public stockholders that exercise their conversion rights, less $5,000,000 (provided that the cash consideration shall not exceed $25,000,000); and

•       a number of ordinary shares of Holdco determined by dividing (a) $168,000,000 less the cash consideration by (b) $10.00.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the WFG shareholders shall have the option to forego receiving any cash consideration and instead receive such consideration in additional ordinary shares of Holdco. If the WFG shareholders were to forego receiving all of the cash consideration, they would receive up to an additional 2,500,000 ordinary shares of Holdco.

Headquarters; Stock Symbols

After completion of the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement:

•       the corporate headquarters and principal executive offices of Holdco will be located at 1F, Building 7, No. 58 Jianguo Road, Chaoyang District, Beijing 100024, PRC, which are WFG’s current corporate headquarters and its registered office will be located at P.O. Box 309, Ugland House, South Church Street, Grand Cayman, KY1-1104, Cayman Islands; and

•       if Holdco’s application for listing is approved, Holdco’s ordinary shares will be traded on Nasdaq under the symbol WINS.

Indemnification of Holdco

To provide a fund for payment to Holdco with respect to its post-closing rights to indemnification under the merger agreement for breaches of representations and warranties and covenants by WFG and its shareholders, and for certain other indemnifiable matters, there will be placed in escrow (with an independent escrow agent) an aggregate of 10% of the ordinary shares of Holdco issued to the WFG shareholders at closing (“Indemnity Escrow Fund”). The shares to be placed in escrow will be allocated among the WFG shareholders pro rata in proportion to their ownership interest in WFG immediately prior to the closing of the transactions. A copy of the escrow agreement is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex F .

Claims for indemnification may be asserted against the Indemnity Escrow Fund by Holdco once its damages exceed a $2,000,000 deductible, in which event the amount payable shall be the amount of the entire loss; provided,

49

however, that such deductible shall not apply to certain actions or omissions by WFG or its subsidiaries prior to the closing that resulted in or result in noncompliance with applicable laws. On the date (the “Escrow Release Date”) that is the earlier of (a) the 30 th day after the date Holdco has filed with the SEC its Annual Report for the year ending December 31, 2016 and (b) March 31, 2017, the escrow agent will release the original number of escrow shares, less amounts previously applied in satisfaction of or reserved with respect to indemnification claims. The aggregate liability for indemnifiable losses shall not exceed the original number of escrow shares in the case of all indemnifiable claims. Holdco will have no claim against the WFG shareholders at closing other than against the Indemnity Escrow Fund. Other than with respect to actual fraud or intentional or willful misrepresentation or omission, Holdco’s rights to indemnification will be its sole remedy with respect to any and all claims for money damages arising out of or relating to the merger agreement.

Sale Restriction; Resale Registration

The WFG shareholders will not be able to sell any of the ordinary shares of Holdco that they receive as a result of the share exchange until the day preceding the day that is twelve months the closing date of the merger agreement (subject to limited exceptions). The restriction on sales will end earlier than such date with respect to 50% of the shares if the closing price of the Holdco ordinary shares exceeds $13.00 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period following the consummation of the transactions. Each WFG securityholder will be required to enter into a lock-up agreement to such effect as a condition to exchanging their capital stock of WFG for the Holdco shares in connection with the share exchange. These lock-up provisions are substantively identical to the restrictions on transfer imposed on Sino’s initial stockholders with respect to their initial shares.

Holdco will enter into an amended and restated registration rights agreement at the closing of the transactions with the WFG shareholders. Under the registration rights agreement, the WFG shareholders will have certain “demand” and “piggyback” registration rights under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Securities Act”), with respect to the resale of Holdco ordinary shares issued to them in the share exchange. Notwithstanding such registration rights, the sale restriction described above shall remain in effect until its expiration.

Background of the Merger

The terms of the merger agreement are the result of arm’s-length negotiations between representatives of Sino and WFG. The following is a brief discussion of the background of these negotiations, the merger agreement and related transactions.

On September 2, 2014, Sino closed its initial public offering of 4,000,000 units, with each unit consisting of one share of its common stock and one right to receive one-tenth of one share of common stock upon consummation of an initial business combination. On September 24, 2014, Sino consummated the sale of an additional 80,100 units which were subject to an over-allotment option granted to the underwriter of its initial public offering. The units from the initial public offering (including the over-allotment option) were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per unit, generating total gross proceeds of $40,801,000. Simultaneously with the consummation of the initial public offering, Sino consummated the private sale of 210,000 units to one of its initial stockholders at $10.00 per unit for an aggregate purchase price of $2,100,000. $38,701,000 of the net proceeds from the initial public offering, together with $2,100,000 raised from the private sale of units, for a total of $40,801,000, was deposited into the trust account and the remaining proceeds became available to be used as working capital to provide for business, legal and accounting due diligence on prospective business combinations and continuing general and administrative expenses.

Promptly following Sino’s initial public offering, Sino’s officers and directors contacted several investment bankers, private equity firms, consulting firms, capital management companies, industry associations and other third parties in China in an effort to identify prospective targets for a business combination. Sino’s officers and directors also contacted relationships it had through its Nankai University and Tsinghua University alumni network.

Through this search, Sino identified and reviewed information with respect to over 100 potential target businesses.

During the search, Sino narrowed its focus on approximately 20 potential target businesses with which it had substantial discussions regarding the type and amount of consideration to be provided relative to a potential transaction, and delivered preliminary written or oral indications of interest to them.

50

Of these target businesses, Sino further narrowed its focus to five target businesses (including WFG) that it thought were most suitable for a potential transaction:

•       In September 2014, Sino commenced discussions with a financial leasing company formed in Tianjin in November 2011 which focused on leasing in various sectors including medical, marine equipment and manufacturing equipment. In December 2014, the parties had reached a preliminary agreement on the significant terms of a transaction but Sino was later informed that this target business had determined to pursue its own initial public offering instead of a transaction with Sino. As a result, discussions were terminated with this target business in late December 2014.

•       In September 2014, Sino also commenced discussions with a joint venture enterprise in the financial leasing industry. This target business had a shorter operating history but had signed several important contracts which might contribute to the target’s rapid growth in revenue and net income. The parties met several times in an attempt to agree on terms of a transaction but could not do so as a result of differences on what valuation should be ascribed to the target. As a result, discussions terminated with this target in February 2015.

•       In September 2014, Sino also commenced discussions with a financial guarantee company which was headquartered in Beijing with a few branches throughout China. The target had a strong 10-year operating history but had recently experienced a financial downturn due to a significant default in 2012 and was in need of a capital injection to resume its business. The parties meet several times to discuss a potential transaction but through negotiations, it became clear that the target would require an additional amount of time to organize its affairs in order to move forward with a transaction with Sino. As a result, Sino determined to terminate discussions in January 2015.

•       In October 2014, Sino commenced discussions with a Chinese commercial guarantee business formed in 2007. This target had a solid reputation within the industry and was mainly focused on the steel industry. This target’s business also had recently experienced a downturn due to an oversupply in the Chinese steel industry and was attempting to expand its business to access a new capital injection. The parties met several times to discuss a potential transaction but discussions broke down due to a disagreement over valuation and negotiations were terminated in December 2014.

On October 8, 2014, Sino was contacted by Junfeng Zhao, President and Chief Financial Officer of WFG. Mr. Zhao had learned that Sino was looking for a potential merger partner through public information. WFG was considering a public offering in the future and representatives of WFG believed a transaction with Sino could be a suitable alternative.

On October 15, 2014, the parties executed a confidentiality and non-disclosure agreement. From October 15, 2014 to November 10, 2014, WFG provided Sino with a variety of initial due diligence items, including various financial information, and Sino conducted numerous conference calls with WFG’s management to better understand and verify the information provided.

On November 11, 2014, Jianming Hao, Sino’s Chief Executive Officer, and Peiling (Amy) He, Sino’s Chief Financial Officer, visited WFG’s Beijing Office to meet with Renhui Mu, Chief Executive Officer of WFG, and Mr. Zhao. In this meeting, Messrs. Mu and Zhao discussed WFG’s goals towards expanding WFG’s business nationwide and expressed their interest in obtaining support from the capital markets. The parties also reviewed the potential structure and terms of a proposed transaction structure.

On November 14, 2014, Sino provided WFG with an illustrative economic analysis of a potential transaction and, on November 20, 2014, reviewed the analysis with Messrs. Mu and Zhao.

On November 24 and throughout the subsequent week, WFG provided Sino with a summary of financial projections which Sino reviewed.

Between December 1, 2014 and December 5, 2014, Mr. Hao and Mr. Mu communicated several times regarding the potential deal structure and valuation of WFG. The parties then met intermittently over the next two weeks to continue discussions regarding the proposed transaction. On December 22, 2014, the parties arrived at a preliminary agreement on the material transaction terms and executed a non-binding letter of intent reflecting that agreement. The letter of intent contemplated that, at the closing of the transaction, in exchange for 100% of the outstanding

51

shares of WFG, Sino would pay the shareholders of WFG (a) $28,000,000 in cash and (b) issue shares of common stock representing 71% of the to be outstanding shares of the combined company.

From December 23, 2014 to January 8, 2015, Sino’s management team, including Mr. Hao, Richard Xu, Sino’s President, and Ms. He visited WFG’s Beijing and Jinzhong offices to perform additional comprehensive onsite due diligence, including interviewing WFG’s key employees and reviewing WFG’s legal, accounting and corporate documentation.

From January 9, 2015 to February 28, 2015, Sino’s management team continued its due diligence review of WFG’s information, including conducting many conference calls with WFG’s management and other key employees. At this time, Sino also provided WFG with a list of the information it would need to be included in this proxy statement/prospectus and WFG commenced preparing its necessary information.

From January 15, 2015 to February 13, 2015, GCA performed a valuation analysis of WFG. On February 13, 2015, GCA provided Sino with a preliminary conclusion on the valuation of WFG which was subsequently followed by a formal valuation report on February 26, 2015.

Between December 24, 2014 and February 28, 2015, King & Wood Mallesons (“King & Wood”), a Chinese law firm, performed additional legal due diligence on WFG’s Chinese subsidiaries, Johnny K. K. Leung & Co., a Hong Kong law firm performed additional legal due diligence on WFG’s Hong Kong subsidiary, and Maples and Calder, a British Virgin Islands law firm, performed additional legal due diligence on WFG’s British Virgin Islands holding company.

On February 28, 2015 and March 2, 2015, members of Sino’s and WFG’s management teams met at WFG’s Beijing office to discuss the results of this additional due diligence review. Based on this review, the parties agreed that the total transaction consideration would be equal to $168 million comprised of (a) cash consideration of at least $10 million and a maximum of $28 million, depending on the cash remaining on the trust account and (b) shares of the surviving company valued at an amount equal to $168 million less the cash consideration, divided by $10.

On March 10, 2015, Graubard Miller circulated a first draft of the merger agreement to all parties.

On March 18, 2015, representatives of Sino discussed with Messrs. Mu and Zhao via teleconference call Sino’s expected expenses to be incurred in connection with the transactions. After discussion, it was determined that the merger consideration would be revised to reflect that (a) $5 million of the cash remaining in Sino’s trust account would be deducted from the cash consideration payable to WFG’s shareholders to cover Sino’s expenses related to the transactions with any remaining balance to be available for the combined company’s working capital following the closing and (b) the maximum cash to be paid to WFG’s shareholders would be reduced to $25 million.

On March 20, 2015, legal counsel for WFG provided comments on the draft merger agreement.

On March 24, 2015, legal counsel for Sino circulated a revised draft of the merger agreement reflecting the changes to the merger consideration discussed on the March 18, 2015 teleconference call as well as certain other changes.

On March 26, 2015, legal counsel for WFG provided additional comments on the revised draft of the merger agreement, including providing for registration rights to the WFG shareholders as described elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus. Also on March 26, 2015, legal counsel for Sino circulated drafts of the ancillary agreements to the merger agreement.

On March 27, 2015, legal counsel for Sino circulated a further revised draft of the merger agreement reflecting certain additional legal changes to the agreement.

On March 30, 2015, legal counsel for WFG provided further legal comments on the merger agreement.

On March 31, 2015 and April 1, 2015, legal counsel for Sino circulated further revised drafts of the merger agreement.

On April 9, 2015, legal counsel for Sino circulated a final draft of the merger agreement in the form as it was executed, which final draft included the ability of the WFG shareholders to forgo receiving the cash consideration and instead receive additional ordinary shares of Holdco.

On April 10, 2015, a telephonic meeting of Sino’s board of directors was held. All directors were present on this call, as were the following invited individuals: Brian L. Ross and Jeffrey M. Gallant of Graubard Miller and Max Tsang and Keith Liu of GCA. Prior to the meeting, copies of the significant transaction documents, in substantially final form, were delivered to the directors. Mr. Xu and Ms. He led a discussion of the search for a target business and detailed the dynamics of the WFG transaction. At the request of the Sino board, Mr. Tsang of GCA then reviewed and discussed GCA’s financial analyses with respect to WFG and the proposed transactions. Thereafter, GCA rendered its oral opinion to the Sino board (which was confirmed in writing by delivery of GCA’s written opinion dated the same date), as to, as of April 10, 2015, (i) the fairness, from a financial point of view, to Sino of the merger consideration to be paid by Sino in the share exchange pursuant to the merger agreement and (ii) whether WFG had a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the balance of funds in Sino’s trust account (excluding deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable). The full text of the written opinion of GCA, which describes, among other things, the assumptions, qualifications, limitations and other matters considered in connection with the preparation of its opinion is attached as Annex B . After considerable review and discussion, the merger agreement and related documents were unanimously approved, subject to final negotiations and modifications, and the Sino board determined to recommend the approval of the merger agreement.

The merger agreement was signed on April 24, 2015. Prior to the market open on April 27, 2015, Sino issued a press release announcing the execution of the merger agreement and some of the salient terms of the merger agreement. Sino also filed a Current Report on Form 8-K, which included the press release, the merger agreement and a presentation which provided a summary of the deal terms and additional details on WFG’s operations.

On May 5, 2015, the parties amended the merger agreement solely to correct certain ministerial disclosures contained therein.

Sino’s Board of Directors’ Reasons for Approval of the Transactions

The consideration to be paid to the WFG shareholders pursuant to the merger agreement was determined by several factors. Sino’s board of directors reviewed various industry and financial data in order to determine that the consideration to be paid to WFG was reasonable and that the transactions were in the best interests of Sino’s stockholders. The financial data reviewed included WFG’s historical and projected financial statements, comparable publicly traded company analyses prepared by Sino’s management, an analysis of proforma capital structure and trading multiples prepared by Sino’s management and analyses provided by GCA.

Sino conducted a due diligence review of WFG that included an industry analysis; an analysis of WFG’s existing business model; historical and projected financial results; and a valuation analysis in order to enable its board of directors to ascertain the reasonableness of the consideration being paid. During its negotiations with WFG, Sino did not receive services from any financial advisor to assist it in determining what consideration to offer to WFG because its officers and directors believe that their experience and backgrounds were sufficient to enable them to make the necessary analyses and determinations.

Sino’s management, including the members of its board of directors, has long and diverse experience in both operational management and investment and financial management and analysis and, in its opinion, was suitably qualified to conduct the due diligence and other investigations and analyses required in connection with Sino’s search for a merger partner. From March 2012 to August 2014, Jianming Hao, Sino’s Executive Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, served as a Partner of Beijing CAC Capital, a private equity firm with approximately $330 million (RMB 2 billion) under management, and the Chief Executive Officer of Huafu Tiancheng Investment Management Company, a $15 million (RMB 100 million) Beijing government fund with three completed investments. From 2010 to August 2014, Richard Xu, Sino’s President, served as the President of CIFCO International Group, a financial advisory firm focused on overseas investments in Chinese enterprises. From May 2012 to August 2014, Amy He, Sino’s Chief Financial Officer, served as Chief Financial Officer of Deyu Agriculture Corp., a vertically integrated producer, processor, marketer and distributor of organic and other agricultural products made from corn and grains operating in Shanxi Province in the People’s Republic of China. Sino’s management believes that this experience makes Sino’s board qualified to render an opinion on the merits of this transaction. More detailed descriptions of the experience of Sino’s board of directors are included in the section of this proxy statement/prospectus entitled “Other Information Related to Sino — Director and Executive Officers.”

The Sino board of directors concluded that the merger agreement with WFG was in the best interests of Sino’s stockholders. The Sino board of directors considered a wide variety of factors in connection with its evaluation of the transactions. In light of the complexity of those factors, the Sino board of directors did not consider it practicable to, nor did it attempt to, quantify or otherwise assign relative weights to the specific factors it considered in reaching its decision. In addition, individual members of the Sino board may have given different weight to different factors.

53

In considering the transactions, the Sino board of directors gave considerable weight to the following factors:

•         WFG’s strong financial position . WFG’s net book value is in excess of $200 million with a significant portion in cash as well as guarantee deposits and short-term investments in assets management products, which could easily be converted to cash. The Sino board of directors believes this will provide strong support for any potential strategic business expansions.

•         WFG’s nationwide business . WFG’s licenses in its leasing segments are nationwide. The Sino board of directors believes this will provide greater access to new customers.

•         Ability to use WFG’s existing business as a platform to build a comprehensive suite of financial solutions to customers.  The Sino board of directors believes WFG’s existing business can form the beginning of a comprehensive suite of lending and financing solutions that can be offered to borrowers in China (especially under-served SMEs). Through a mix of strategic acquisitions of non-banking financial institutions, such as financing guarantee, financing leasing and commercial factoring providers, and an expansion of WFG’s existing base in the financing business, the Sino board believes WFG can eventually establish itself as a full-service Internet lending platform aimed at serving all areas of needs of SMEs in China as both capital providers and users.

•         WFG’s strong risk management system.  WFG’s risk control and management system led to WFG having a default rate of 0.4% for the year ended June 30, 2014 and 0.5% for the year ended June 30, 2013. Further, all of WFG’s outstanding guarantee obligations are for a term of one year or less. The Sino board of directors believes that WFG’s risk management system and short term guarantee obligations reduce the risk that WFG will incur liability exposure from customer defaults.

•         Attractive industry dynamics.  SMEs have become an indispensable driver in promoting economic and employment growth in the PRC, driving technological and enterprise system innovation and contributing to China’s economic transformation. The Sino board of directors viewed the potential growth in the industry that WFG engages in very appealing and believes it will allow shareholders to participate in a company with significant growth potential. Furthermore, the industry is highly fragmented and the Sino board believes there are numerous opportunities for strategic acquisitions at attractive prices.

Sino’s board of directors also considered the following potentially negative factors associated with the transactions with WFG:

•         Lack of diversification . While WFG holds licenses for both financial guarantee and financial leasing, 90% of its business is from the financial guarantee side and its financial leasing business, mostly derived from the financial guarantee clients, has not been cultivated fully. Furthermore, most of WFT’s business originates from its local city, Jinzhong in the Shanxi Province of China.

•         Regulatory concerns . WFG is subject to certain regulatory compliance issues which could lead to potential liability in the future. These include guaranteeing amounts in excess of a certain percentage of WFG’s net assets and the failure to make certain social insurance and unemployment insurance payments, all in violation of existing regulations. For complete details on such compliance issues, see the section titled “ Business of WFG — Non-Compliance of Laws and Regulations .”

•         Corporate governance practices . WFG’s current corporate governance structure and practices do not meet with the prevailing international standards and will need to be thoroughly reviewed and strengthened following consummation of the transactions.

Sino’s board of directors concluded, however, that the potentially negative factors associated with the transactions with WFG were outweighed by the potential benefits of the transactions described above.

Opinion of Financial Advisor

In making its determination with respect to the transactions, Sino’s board of directors also considered the financial analysis reviewed by GCA with the Sino board, and the oral opinion of GCA to the Sino board (which was subsequently confirmed in writing by delivery of GCA’s written opinion dated the same date), as to, as of April 10, 2015, (i) the fairness, from a financial point of view, to Sino of the merger consideration to be paid by Sino pursuant to the merger agreement and (ii) whether WFG had a fair market value equal to at least 80% of

54

the balance of funds in Sino’s trust account (exclusive of deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable). See “ The Merger — Opinion of the Financial Advisor to the Board of Directors of Sino .”

Satisfaction of 80% Test

It is a requirement under Sino’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation that any business acquired by Sino have a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the balance of the funds in the trust account (exclusive of deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable) at the time of the execution of a definitive agreement for an initial business combination. Based on the financial analysis of WFG generally used to approve the transaction, including a comparison of comparable companies and a discounted cash flow analysis, the Sino board of directors determined that this requirement was met. The board determined that consideration being paid in the transaction merger, which amount was negotiated at arms-length, was fair to and in the best interests of Sino and its stockholders and appropriately reflected Sino’s value. In reaching this determination, the board concluded that it was appropriate to base such valuation on qualitative factors such as management strength and depth, competitive positioning, customer relationships, and technical skills as well as quantitative factors such as WFG’s historical growth rate and its potential for future growth in revenues and profits. Sino’s board of directors believe that the financial skills and background of its members qualify it to conclude that the acquisition of WFG met this requirement. In addition, the Sino board of directors considered the financial analysis reviewed by GCA with the Sino board, and the oral opinion of GCA to the Sino board (which was subsequently confirmed in writing by delivery of GCA’s written opinion dated the same date), as to, as of April 10, 2015, whether WFG had a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the balance of funds in Sino’s trust account.

Interests of Sino’s Directors and Officers in the Transactions

In considering the recommendation of the board of directors of Sino to vote in favor of approval of the merger proposal, the charter amendments proposal and the other proposals, stockholders should keep in mind that Sino’s initial stockholders, including its directors and executive officers, have interests in such proposals that are different from, or in addition to, those of Sino stockholders generally. In particular:

•       If the merger or another business combination is not consummated by September 1, 2016, Sino will cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, redeeming 100% of the outstanding public shares for cash and, subject to the approval of its remaining stockholders and its board of directors, dissolving and liquidating. In such event, the 1,020,025 initial shares held by Sino’s initial stockholders, including its directors and officers, which were acquired for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000 prior to Sino’s initial public offering, would be worthless because Sino’s initial stockholders are not entitled to participate in any redemption or distribution with respect to such shares. Such shares had an aggregate market value of $10,149,248.75 based upon the closing price of $9.95 per share on the Nasdaq on September 8, 2015.

•       An affiliate of Jianming Hao, Sino’s Chief Executive Officer, purchased an aggregate of 210,000 private units from Sino for an aggregate purchase price of $2,100,000 (or $10.00 per unit). These purchases took place on a private placement basis simultaneously with the consummation of the initial public offering. All of the proceeds Sino received from these purchases were placed in the trust account. Such units had an aggregate market value of $2,247,000 based upon the closing price of $10.70 per unit on the Nasdaq on September 8, 2015. The purchaser of the private units waived the right to participate in any redemption or distribution with respect to such private units. Accordingly, the Sino shares and rights underlying the private units will become worthless if Sino does not consummate a business combination (as will the Sino rights held by public stockholders).

•       The transactions contemplated by the merger agreement provide that Jianming Hao, Richard Xu and Bradley Reifler will be directors of Holdco. As such, in the future each may receive cash fees, stock options or stock awards that the Holdco board of directors determines to pay to its directors. Additionally, Jianming Hao, Richard Xu and Amy He will be officers of Holdco after the closing of the transactions and will enter into employment agreements providing for them to receive base salaries of $156,000, $144,000 and $144,000, respectively.

•       If a business combination is not consummated within the required time period, Jianming Hao will be personally liable to ensure that the proceeds in the trust account are not reduced by the claims of target

55

businesses or claims of vendors or other entities that are owed money by Sino for services rendered or contracted for or products sold to Sino, but only if such a vendor or target business has not executed such a waiver.

•       Jianming Hao has loaned Sino an aggregate of $300,000. If Sino fails to consummate a business combination, the loan would become unsecured liabilities of Sino; however, Mr. Hao has waived any claim against the trust account. Accordingly, Sino will most likely not be able to repay this loan if the transaction with WFG or another business combination is not completed. In addition, upon consummation of a business combination, the $300,000 loan is convertible at Mr. Hao’s election into units of Sino at a conversion price of $10.00 per unit. Accordingly, if a business combination is not consummated, Mr. Hao also will lose the opportunity to acquire an additional 33,000 shares underlying such units, which would have an aggregate market value of $328,350 based upon the closing price of $9.95 per share on Nasdaq on September 8, 2015.

•       Sino’s officers, directors, initial stockholders and their affiliates are entitled to reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them in connection with certain activities on Sino’s behalf, such as identifying and investigating possible business targets and business combinations. If Sino fails to consummate the business combination with WFG, they will not have any claim against the trust account for the reimbursement of these expenses. Accordingly, Sino may not be able to reimburse these expenses if the business combination with WFG is not completed. As of September 8, 2015, Sino’s officers, directors, initial stockholders and their affiliates had not incurred any unpaid reimbursable expenses but they may incur such expenses in the future.

•       If Sino is required to be liquidated and there are no funds remaining to pay the costs associated with the implementation and completion of such liquidation, Jianming Hao has agreed to advance Sino the funds necessary to pay such costs and complete such liquidation (currently anticipated to be no more than approximately $15,000) and not to seek repayment for such expenses.

Recommendation of Sino’s Board of Directors

After careful consideration of the matters described above, Sino’s board of directors determined that each of the merger proposal, the charter proposals, the incentive compensation plan proposal and the adjournment proposal, if presented, are fair to and in the best interest of Sino’s stockholders and unanimously recommends that you vote or give instructions to vote “FOR” each of these proposals.

The foregoing discussion of the information and factors considered by the Sino board of directors is not meant to be exhaustive, but includes the material information and factors considered by the Sino board of directors.

Opinion of Financial Advisor to the Board of Directors of Sino

On April 10, 2015, GCA rendered its oral opinion to the Sino board (which was confirmed in writing by delivery of GCA’s written opinion dated such date), that, as of April 10, 2015, (i) the consideration to be paid by Sino in the share exchange pursuant to the merger agreement was fair, from a financial point of view, to Sino and (ii) WFG had a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the balance of funds in Sino’s trust account (exclusive of deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable).

The summary of the opinion in this proxy statement/prospectus is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the written opinion, which is included as Annex B to this proxy statement/prospectus and sets forth the procedures followed, assumptions made, qualifications and limitations on the review undertaken and other matters considered by GCA in preparing its opinion. However, neither GCA’s written opinion nor the summary of its opinion and the related analyses set forth in this proxy statement/prospectus are intended to be, and do not constitute, advice or a recommendation to any stockholder as to how such stockholder should act or vote with respect to any matter relating to the proposed transactions.

The opinion was addressed to the Sino board for the use and benefit of the members of the Sino board (in their capacities as such) in connection with the Sino board’s evaluation of the transactions. The opinion is not intended to and does not constitute advice or a recommendation to any of Sino’s stockholders or any other security holders as to how such holder should vote or act with respect to any matter relating to the transactions or otherwise. GCA’s

56

opinion should not be construed as creating any fiduciary duty on GCA’s part to Sino or any other party to the merger agreement, any security holder of Sino or such other party, any creditor of Sino or such other party, or any other person. GCA’s opinion was just one of the several factors the Sino board took into account in making its determination to approve the transactions, including those described elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.

GCA’s opinion was limited to whether, as of the date of such opinion, the consideration to be paid by Sino in the share exchange was fair to Sino, from a financial point of view, and whether the fair market value of WFG equaled or exceeded 80% of the amount held by Sino in trust for the benefit of its public stockholders (excluding any deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on the income earned on such funds) and does not address any other terms, aspects or implications of the transactions, including, without limitation, the form or structure of the transactions, any consequences of the transactions on Sino, its stockholders, creditors or any other constituencies of Sino, or any terms, aspects or implications of any voting, support, stockholder, or other agreements, arrangements or understandings contemplated or entered into in connection with the transactions or otherwise. The opinion also does not consider, address or include: (i) any other strategic alternatives currently (or which have been or may be) contemplated by Sino; (ii) the legal, tax or accounting consequences of the transactions on Sino, its stockholders or any other party; (iii) the fairness of the amount or nature of any compensation to any officers, directors or employees of WFG, or class of such person, relative to the compensation paid to any other party; or (iv) whether Sino has sufficient cash, available lines of credit or other sources of funds to enable it to pay the consideration in the share exchange at the closing of the transactions. Furthermore, GCA did not express any opinion as to the prices, trading range or volume at which Sino’s securities will trade following public announcement or consummation of the transactions.

GCA’s analysis and opinion were necessarily based upon market, economic, and other conditions, as they exist on, and could be evaluated as of the date of the opinion. Accordingly, although subsequent developments could arise that would otherwise affect its opinion, GCA did not assume any obligation to update, review, or reaffirm the opinion to the Sino board or any other person or otherwise to comment on or consider events occurring or coming to GCA’s attention after the date of the opinion.

In arriving at its opinion, GCA made such reviews, analyses, and inquiries as GCA deemed necessary and appropriate under the circumstances. Among other things, GCA:

•       discussed the transactions and related matters with Sino’s counsel and reviewed a draft copy of the merger agreement;

•       reviewed the audited financial statements of WFG and its subsidiaries for the two years ended December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2013, and unaudited consolidated financial statements of WFG and its subsidiaries for the period from January 1, 2014 through December 31,2014 prepared under the generally accepted accounting principles of China;

•       reviewed and discussed with Sino’s management certain other publicly available information concerning Sino and WFG;

•       held discussions with WFG’s management, including, without limitation, with respect to, estimates of certain transaction charges and the pro forma financial impact of the transactions on WFG;

•       reviewed certain non-publicly available information concerning WFG, including internal financial analyses and forecasts prepared by management of WFG which we were directed by Sino to use for purposes of its analysis, and held discussions with WFG’s senior management regarding the latest business developments;

•       reviewed and analyzed certain publicly available financial and stock market data relating to selected public companies that GCA considered relevant to its analysis;

•       compared the equity values of WFG implied by the various financial analyses it conducted to the amount held in trust by Sino for the benefit of its public stockholders (excluding any deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on the income earned on such funds);

•       participated in certain discussions and negotiations between representatives of Sino and WFG;

•       conducted such other financial studies, analyses and investigations and considered such other information as GCA deemed necessary or appropriate for purposes of its opinion; and

57

•       took into account its assessment of general economic, market and financial conditions and it experience in other transactions, as well as its experience in securities valuations and GCA’s knowledge of WFG’s industry generally.

In rendering its opinion, GCA relied upon and assumed, with the Sino board’s acknowledgement and consent, without independent investigation or verification, the accuracy and completeness of all of the financial and other information that was provided to GCA by or on behalf of Sino or WFG, or that was otherwise reviewed by GCA, and did not assume any responsibility for independently verifying any of such information. With respect to the financial forecasts regarding WFG prepared by management of WFG and supplied to GCA by Sino and WFG, as applicable, GCA assumed, at the direction of Sino, that they were reasonably prepared on the basis reflecting the best currently available estimates and judgments of the management of Sino and WFG, as applicable, as to the future operating and financial performance of WFG and that they provided a reasonable basis upon which GCA could form the opinion. Such forecasts and projections were not prepared with the expectation of public disclosure. All such projected financial information is based on numerous variables and assumptions that are inherently uncertain, including, without limitation, factors related to general economic and competitive conditions. Accordingly, actual results could vary significantly from those set forth in such projected financial information. GCA relied on this projected information without independent verification or analysis and did not in any respect assume any responsibility for the accuracy or completeness thereof. For purposes of the opinion, GCA also assumed, at the Sino board’s direction and with the Sino board’s consent, that the per share value of the ordinary shares of Holdco to be issued to WFG shareholders in the share exchange is equal to the current cash per share held in trust for the benefit of Sino’s public stockholders.

GCA also confirmed that there were no material changes in the assets, liabilities, financial condition, results of operations, business or prospects of Sino, Holdco or WFG between the date of valuation and the date of the opinion. GCA did not make or obtain any independent evaluation, appraisal or physical inspection of Sino’s, Holdco’s or WFG’s individual assets or liabilities, nor has GCA been furnished with any such evaluation or appraisal. Estimates of values of companies and assets do not purport to be appraisals or necessarily reflect the prices at which companies or assets may actually be sold. Because such estimates are inherently subject to uncertainty and assumptions, GCA assumes no responsibility for their accuracy.

GCA has assumed, with Sino’s consent, that there are no factors that would delay or subject to any adverse conditions any necessary regulatory or governmental approval and that all conditions to the transactions will be satisfied and not waived. In addition, GCA assumed that the merger agreement would not differ materially from the draft they reviewed. GCA also assumed that the transactions would be consummated substantially on the terms and conditions described in the merger agreement, without any waiver of material terms or conditions by Sino or any other party and without any adjustment to the consideration to be received by the WFG shareholders, and that obtaining any necessary regulatory approvals or satisfying any other conditions for consummation of the transactions will not have an adverse effect on Sino, WFG or the transactions. GCA assumed that the transactions will be consummated in a manner that complies with the applicable provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act and all other applicable United States federal and state statutes, rules and regulations and all other laws applicable to Sino, Holdco, WFG, and Holdco. GCA further assumed that Sino had relied upon the advice of its counsel, independent accountants and other advisors (other than GCA) as to all legal, financial reporting, tax, accounting and regulatory matters with respect to Sino, Holdco, WFG, the transactions and the merger agreement.

In connection with preparing its opinion, GCA performed a variety of financial analyses. The following is a summary of the material financial analyses performed by GCA in connection with the preparation of its opinion. It is not a complete description of all analyses underlying such opinion. The preparation of an opinion is a complex process involving various determinations as to the most appropriate and relevant methods of financial analysis and the application of those methods to the particular circumstances. As a consequence, neither GCA’s opinion nor the respective analyses underlying its opinion is readily susceptible to partial analysis or summary description. In arriving at its opinion, GCA assessed as a whole the results of all analyses undertaken by it with respect to the opinion. While it took into account the results of each analysis in reaching its overall conclusions, GCA did not make separate or quantifiable judgments regarding individual analyses and did not draw, in isolation, conclusions from or with regard to any individual analysis or factor. Therefore, GCA believes that the analyses underlying the opinion must be considered as a whole and that selecting portions of its analyses or the factors it considered, without considering all analyses and factors underlying the opinion collectively, could create a misleading or incomplete view of the analyses performed by GCA in preparing the opinion.

58

The implied valuation reference ranges indicated by GCA’s analyses are not necessarily indicative of actual values nor predictive of future results, which may be significantly more or less favorable than those suggested by such analyses. Much of the information used in, and accordingly the results of, GCA’s analyses are inherently subject to substantial uncertainty.

The following is a summary of the material financial analyses performed by GCA in connection with the preparation of its opinion.

For purposes of its analyses, GCA considered the implied value of the consideration to be paid in the share exchange of $168,000,000, assuming the issuance of a number shares based upon the liquidation value per share of Sino common stock of $10.00, which Sino advised GCA, and GCA, with the consent of the Sino board, assumed was a reasonable basis upon which to evaluate the Sino common stock.

Share prices for the selected companies used in the selected companies analysis described below were as of December 31, 2014. Financial information such as shareholders’ equity for the selected companies listed below as of December 31, 2014 (if not available, December 31, 2013) were based on publicly information available.

Estimates of financial performance for WFG for the year ended December 31, 2014, was based on the internal financial statements prepared by WFG management and provided to GCA and for the years ending December 31, 2015 to 2019 were based on the WFG projections.

Discounted Cash Flows Analysis

GCA performed a discounted cash flow analysis of WFG by calculating the estimated net present value of WFG’s free cash flows attributable to WFG from 2015 to 2019 using WFG’s projection and estimates of the terminal value of WFG after 2019. In performing this analysis, GCA applied discount rates ranging from 21.94% to 25.94% to the projected free cash flows attributable to WFG’s financial leasing business and discount rates ranging from 14.05% to 18.05% to the projected free cash flows attributable to WFG’s financial guarantee business, and applied perpetual growth rates ranging from 2% to 4% to estimate the terminal value. This analysis indicated an implied equity value reference range of $207,000,000 (RMB1,283,000,000) to $283,000,000 (RMB 1,755,000,000) for WFG, as compared to the implied value of the consideration to be paid in the share exchange of $168,000,000.

Projections Furnished by WFG to GCA

WFG provided GCA with its internally prepared projections for each of the years in the five-year period ending June 30, 2019. The projections were prepared based on WFG’s original development strategy without considering any potential changes of the strategy after reaching the agreement with Sino for the megers, and do not include costs associated with the mergers or any additional equity capital that may be available to WFG (such as the capital that may be provided by Sino in this transaction). The projections were not prepared with a view to public disclosure or under GAAP, the published guidelines of the SEC or the guidelines established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants for preparation and presentation of prospective financial information. These projections were prepared solely for internal use and capital budgeting and other management purposes, are subjective in many respects and therefore susceptible to varying interpretations and the need for periodic revision based on actual experience and business developments, and were not intended for third-party use, including by investors or holders. You are cautioned not to rely on the projections in making a decision regarding the transaction, as the projections may be materially different than actual results.

In compiling the projections, WFG took into account estimates regarding commission rates on guarantee service and interest rates on the financial leasing business. The projections reflect numerous assumptions including assumptions with respect to the business growth strategy, economic, market, regulatory and financial condition and various other factors, all of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond WFG’s control, such as the risks and uncertainties contained in the section entitled “Risk Factors.”

The financial projections for revenue and costs are forward-looking statements that are based on assumptions that are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond WFG’s control. While all projections are necessarily speculative, WFG believes that the prospective financial information covering periods beyond twelve months from its date of preparation carries increasingly higher levels of uncertainty and should be read in that context. There will be differences between actual and projected results, and actual results may be materially greater or materially less than those contained in the projections. The inclusion of the projections in

59

this proxy statement/prospectus should not be regarded as an indication that WFG or its representatives considered or consider the projections to be a reliable prediction of future events, and reliance should not be placed on the projections.

The projections were requested by, and disclosed to, GCA and Sino for use as a component in its overall evaluation of WFG, and are included in this proxy statement/prospectus on that account. WFG has not warranted the accuracy, reliability, appropriateness or completeness of the projections to anyone, including to Sino. Neither WFG’s management nor any of its representatives has made or makes any representation to any person regarding the ultimate performance of WFG compared to the information contained in the projections, and none of them intends to or undertakes any obligation to update or otherwise revise the projections to reflect circumstances existing after the date when made except as required by law or to reflect the occurrence of future events in the event that any or all of the assumptions underlying the projections are shown to be in error. Accordingly, they should not be looked upon as “guidance” of any sort. Holdco will not refer back to these forecasts in its future periodic reports filed under the Exchange Act.

The projections were prepared by, and are the responsibility of, WFG’s management. Marcum Bernstein&Pinchuk LLP (“MBP”), WFG’s auditor, has neither examined, compiled nor performed any other procedures with respect to the projections and, accordingly, MBP does not express an opinion or any other form of assurance with respect thereto. The reports furnished by MBP included in this registration statement/prospectus relate to historical financial information of WFG. They do not extend to the projections and should not be read as if they do.

Selected Companies Analysis

GCA considered certain financial data for WFG and selected companies with publicly traded equity securities GCA deemed relevant. The selected companies were selected because they were deemed to be similar to WFG in one or more respects including, the nature of their business, size, and financial performance. Because companies are not identical or necessarily directly comparable to one another, identification of companies for use in a selected companies analysis involves the exercise of qualitative judgment. The selected companies with publicly traded equity securities were:

•       Far East Horizon Ltd. (3360 Hong Kong Stock Exchange (“HKSE”))

•       Simsen International Corp. (993 HKSE)

•       Sino Credit Holdings Ltd. (628 HKSE)

•       Bohai Leasing Co., Ltd (000415, Shenzhen Stock Exchange of China)

•       China Financial Services Holdings (605 HKSE)

The financial data reviewed was share price as multiple of the net book value per share as of December 31, 2014 (or if not available, December 31, 2013), or “P/NBV”. The multiple of P/NBV of these selected companies as of December 31, 2014 ranged from 0.80x to 2.86x.

GCA applied a multiple of 2.00x to the net book value of WFG’s financial leasing business as of December 31, 2014 and a multiple of 1.18x to the net book value of WFG’s financial guarantee business as of December 31, 2014, which resulted in an implied equity value reference of $252,000,000 (RMB1,563,000,000), as compared to the implied value of the consideration to be paid in the share exchnage of $168,000,000.

None of the selected companies have characteristics identical to WFG. An analysis of selected publicly traded companies is not mathematical; rather it involves complex consideration and judgments concerning differences in financial and operating characteristics of the selected companies and other factors that could affect the public trading values of the companies reviewed.

Other matters relating to GCA’s opinion

GCA, as part of its appraisal services, is regularly engaged in the independent valuation of businesses and securities in connection with mergers and acquisitions of listed and unlisted securities and valuations for estate, corporate and other purposes. GCA has acted as appraiser to Sino in connection with the transactions and received a fee of approximately $37,500 (HK$290,000) for its services, none of which was contingent upon the consummation of the transactions. In addition, Sino has agreed to indemnify GCA for certain liabilities arising out of its engagement.

Material Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Transactions to Sino and Its Securityholders

The following section is the opinion of Graubard Miller, counsel to Sino, regarding material United States federal income tax consequences of the merger to holders of Sino common stock. This discussion addresses only those Sino security holders that hold their securities as a capital asset within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code, and does not address all the U.S. federal income tax consequences that may be relevant to particular holders in light of their individual circumstances or to holders that are subject to special rules, such as:

•       financial institutions;

•       investors in pass-through entities;

•       tax-exempt organizations;

•       dealers in securities or currencies;

•       traders in securities that elect to use a mark to market method of accounting;

•       persons that hold Sino common stock as part of a straddle, hedge, constructive sale or conversion transaction; and

•       persons who are not citizens or residents of the U.S.

The Graubard Miller opinion is based upon the Code, applicable treasury regulations thereunder, published rulings and court decisions, all as currently in effect as of the date of its opinion, and all of which are subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect. Tax considerations under state, local and foreign laws, or federal laws other than those pertaining to the income tax, are not addressed.

Neither Sino nor WFG intends to request any ruling from the Internal Revenue Service as to the United States federal income tax consequences of the merger.

The merger has been structured to qualify as a reorganization under the Code. It is the opinion of Graubard Miller that the merger will qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, and pursuant to

61

Section 367(a) of the Code and Treasury Regulations Sections 1.367(a)-3(c), will not result in the recognition of gain or loss by any holder of Sino common stock owning less than 5% of the shares of Holdco following the merger or any holder of Sino common stock owning 5% or more of the shares of Holdco following the merger if such stockholder files a gain recognition agreement, as further described below.

The U.S. federal tax basis of the shares of Holdco received by the holder of Sino common stock in the merger will be the same as the adjusted tax basis of the Sino common stock surrendered in exchange therefore. The holding period of the shares of Holdco received in the merger by a holder of Sino common stock will include the period during which such Sino common stock was held as a capital asset on the date of the merger.

A holder of Sino common stock who owns 5% or more of the ordinary shares of Holdco will recognize gain upon the exchange of such stockholder’s common stock in Sino for ordinary shares of Holdco, unless such stockholder files a gain recognition agreement with the stockholder’s income tax return for the taxable year that includes the date of the merger. Gain is measured by the difference between the fair market value of the ordinary shares of Holdco received and the tax basis of that stockholder’s shares of Sino common stock. The gain recognition agreement requires, among other things, the 5% or more Holdco shareholder:

•       to waive the statute of limitations on a Form 8838,

•       to file a statement with his or her income tax return for each of the five full taxable years following the year of the merger certifying that a taxable disposition of substantially all of the assets of Holdco has not occurred; and

•       if such a disposition has occurred, to include in income the previously unrecognized gain on the conversion of the shares and pay interest on any resulting tax.

Sino stockholders required to file gain recognition agreements as described above are strongly encouraged to consult their own tax advisors regarding the specific information to be included in such agreements, and the requirements for recognizing gain with respect to the Sino securities.

The foregoing U.S. federal income tax consequences are not materially affected by the changes made to the Code by the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 (Code Section 7874) in the treatment of domestic business entities which expatriate from the United States to a foreign jurisdiction. These new provisions generally apply to the direct or indirect acquisition of substantially all of the properties of a domestic enterprise by a foreign corporation if there is at least 60% or 80% continuing share ownership in the successor foreign entity by the former stockholders of the U.S. corporation and substantial business activities are not conducted in the jurisdiction in which such successor is created or organized. Under the terms of the merger agreement, immediately following the transactions, the current holders of Sino will own less than 60% of the then outstanding ordinary shares and purchase options of Holdco. As a result, Holdco will be respected as a foreign corporation for U.S. income tax purposes and will not be classified as an expatriated entity.

As Sino’s assets consist primarily, if not solely, of cash, Sino should not incur any material amount of U.S. federal income or other tax as a result of the merger. No gain or loss will be recognized by Sino on the transfer of its cash assets to Holdco in the merger. An evaluation will be made prior to the closing of the merger to establish whether Sino has any intangible assets with respect to which it would be required to recognize gain in connection with the merger. If there are any such intangible assets, it is not expected that they are of substantial value or that any material U.S. federal income tax will be incurred. The IRS may not agree with this conclusion. In such an event, there may be a significant tax obligations for Holdco, the surviving company, to pay based on the value of Sino’s appreciated assets at the time of the transactions.

The conclusions expressed above are based on current law. Future legislative, administrative or judicial changes or interpretations, which can apply retroactively, could affect the accuracy of those conclusions.

It is also the opinion of Graubard Miller that a stockholder of Sino who exercises conversion rights and effects a termination of the stockholder’s interest in Sino will be required to recognize gain or loss upon the exchange of that stockholder’s shares of common stock of Sino for cash. Such gain or loss will be measured by the difference between the amount of cash received and the tax basis of that stockholder’s shares of Sino common stock. This gain or loss will be a capital gain or loss if such shares were held as a capital asset on the date of the merger and will be a long-term capital gain or loss if the holding period for the share of Sino common stock is more than one year. The

62

tax opinion issued to Sino by Graubard Miller, its counsel, is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex D . Graubard Miller has consented to the use of its opinion in this proxy statement/prospectus.

This discussion is intended to provide only a summary of the material United States federal income tax consequences of the merger. It does not address tax consequences that may vary with, or are contingent on, your individual circumstances. In addition, the discussion does not address any non-income tax or any foreign, state or local tax consequences of the merger. Accordingly, you are strongly urged to consult with your tax advisor to determine the particular United States federal, state, local or foreign income or other tax consequences to you of the transactions.

Anticipated Accounting Treatment

The transactions will be accounted for as a “reverse merger” and recapitalization at the date of the consummation of the transaction since the shareholders of WFG will own at least 71.4% of the outstanding ordinary shares of Holdco immediately following the completion of the transactions (assuming no holder of Sino common stock seeks conversion rights) and WFG’s operations will be the operations of Holdco following the transactions. Accordingly, WFG will be deemed to be the accounting acquirer in the transaction and, consequently, the transaction is treated as a recapitalization of WFG. As a result, the assets and liabilities and the historical operations that will be reflected in the Holdco financial statements after consummation of the transactions will be those of WFG and will be recorded at the historical cost basis of WFG. Sino’s assets, liabilities and results of operations will be consolidated with the assets, liabilities and results of operations of WFG upon consummation of the transactions.

Regulatory Matters

The transactions contemplated by the merger agreement are not subject to any additional federal or state regulatory requirement or approval, except for filings with the State of Delaware, Cayman Islands and British Virgin Islands necessary to effectuate the merger and share exchange.

Required Vote

The approval of the merger proposal will require the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the then outstanding shares of Sino common stock. Additionally, the transactions will not be consummated if the holders of more than 3,080,100 of the public shares properly demand that Sino convert their public shares into their pro rata share of the trust account.

The approval of the merger proposal is a condition to the consummation of the merger. If the merger proposal is not approved, the other proposals (except an adjournment proposal, as described below) will not be presented to the stockholders for a vote.

THE SINO BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT THE SINO STOCKHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE APPROVAL OF THE MERGER PROPOSAL.

63

•       all necessary consents, waivers and approvals required to be obtained by the other party in connection with the merger having been received, other than consents, waivers and approvals the absence of which could not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect.

•       by either Sino or WFG if the other party has breached any of its covenants or representations and warranties in any material respect and has not cured its breach within fifteen days of the notice of an intent to terminate, provided that the terminating party is itself not in breach; or

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CO MBI NED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Sino is providing the following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information to aid you in your analysis of the financial aspects of the transactions.

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of June 30, 2015 combines the unaudited combined historical balance sheet of WFG as of March 31, 2015 with the unaudited historical condensed consolidated balance sheet of Sino as of June 30, 2015, giving effect to the transactions as if they had been consummated as of that date.

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined income statement for the six months ended June 30, 2015 combines the unaudited historical combined statement of income of WFG for the six months ended March 31, 2015 with the unaudited historical condensed consolidated statement of operations of Sino for the six months ended June 30, 2015, giving effect to the transactions as if they had been consummated as of January 1, 2014.

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined income statement for the year ended December 31, 2014 combines the unaudited historical combined statement of income of WFG for year ended December 31, 2014 with the audited historical statement of operations of Sino for the period from March 28, 2014 (inception) to December 31, 2014, giving effect to the transactions as if they had been consummated as of January 1, 2014.

The historical financial information has been adjusted to give effect to pro forma events that are related and/or directly attributable to the transactions, are factually supportable and are expected to have a continuing impact on the combined results. The adjustments presented on the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements have been identified and presented to provide relevant information necessary for an accurate understanding of the combined company upon consummation of the transactions.

The historical financial information of WFG was derived from the unaudited combined financial statements of WFG for the nine months ended March 31, 2015 and audited combined financial statements of WFG for the year ended June 30, 2014 included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus. The historical financial information of Sino was derived from the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Sino for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and the audited financial statements of Sino for the period from March 28, 2014 (inception) to December 31, 2014 included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus. This information should be read together with WFG’s and Sino’s audited and unaudited financial statements and related notes, “ WFG Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations ,” “ Other Information Related to Sino — Sino’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations ” and other financial information included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is for illustrative purposes only. The financial results may have been different had the companies always been combined. You should not rely on the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information as being indicative of the historical results that would have been achieved had the companies always been combined or the future results that the combined company will experience. WFG and Sino have not had any historical relationship prior to the transactions. Accordingly, no pro forma adjustments were required to eliminate activities between the companies.

The transactions will be accounted for as a “reverse merger” and recapitalization at the date of the consummation of the transaction since the shareholders of WFG will own at least 71.4% of the outstanding ordinary shares of Holdco immediately following the completion of the transactions (assuming no holder of Sino common stock seeks conversion rights) and WFG’s operations will be the operations of Holdco following the transactions. Accordingly, WFG will be deemed to be the accounting acquirer in the transaction and, consequently, the transaction is treated as a recapitalization of WFG. As a result, the assets and liabilities and the historical operations that will be reflected in the Holdco financial statements after consummation of the transactions will be those of WFG and will be recorded at the historical cost basis of WFG. Sino’s assets, liabilities and results of operations will be consolidated with the assets, liabilities and results of operations of WFG upon consummation of the transactions.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA

CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

1. Description of Transaction

The parties to the merger agreement are Sino Mercury Acquisition Corp. (“Sino”), Wins Finance Holdings Inc., Sino’s wholly-owned subsidiary (“Holdco”), Wins Finance Holdings Inc. (“WFG”) and the shareholders of WFG. Pursuant to the merger agreement, (1) Sino will merge with and into Holdco, with Holdco surviving and (2) immediately following the merger, the WFG shareholders will exchange 100% of the ordinary shares of WFG for cash and ordinary shares of Holdco.

Under the merger agreement, upon consummation of the share exchange, WFG shareholders will receive (1) an amount of cash remaining in Sino’s trust fund after payment of all amounts to public stockholders that exercise their conversion rights, less $5,000,000, provided that the cash consideration shall not exceed $25,000,000, and (2) a number of ordinary shares of Holdco equal to $168,000,000 less the cash consideration, divided by $10.00. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the WFG shareholders shall have the option to forego receiving any cash consideration and instead receive such consideration in additional ordinary shares of Holdco. If the WFG shareholders were to forego receiving all of the cash consideration, they would receive up to an additional 2,500,000 ordinary shares of Holdco.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements have been prepared using four assumptions with two different levels of redemptions of Sino’s Common Stock and two different levels of cash consideration the WFG shareholders will elect to receive:

Assumption (1): maximum c onversions with no cash consideration. The WF G shareholders will elect to receive no cash consideration and 16,800,000 Holdco shares (including 500,000 additional share issued for the WFG shareholders for exchange of cash consideration) and the shareholders of 3,080,100 of Sino’s public shares will elect to convert their shares into cash as permitted by Sino’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation. The WFG shareholders will own approximately 86.3% of the Holdco shares to be outstanding immediately after the transactions, and the Sino’s stockholders will own approximately 1 3 .7% of Holdco’s outstanding shares.

Assumption (2): maximum c onversions with maximum cash consideration. The WFG shareholders will receive in the aggregate approximately $5,000,000 and 16,300,000 Holdco shares and the shareholders of 3,080,100 of Sino’s public shares will elect to convert their shares into cash as permitted by Sino’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation. The WFG shareholders will own approximately 86.0% of the Holdco shares to be outstanding immediately after the transactions, and the Sino’s stockholders will own approximately 14.0% of Holdco’s outstanding shares.

Assumption (3): No Conversions with no cash consideration.

THE CHARTER P ROP OSALS

The charter proposals, if approved, will approve the following material differences between the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association of Holdco to be in effect following the transactions and Sino’s current amended and restated certificate of incorporation:

•       the name of the new public entity will be “Wins Finance Holdings Inc.” as opposed to “Sino Mercury Acquisition Corp.”;

•       Holdco will have 100,000,000 authorized ordinary shares and 1,000,000 authorized preferred shares, as opposed to Sino having 25,000,000 authorized shares of common stock and 1,000,000 authorized shares of preferred stock;

•       Holdco’s corporate existence will be perpetual as opposed to Sino’s corporate existence which terminates if Sino is unable to consummate a business combination; and

•       Holdco’s memorandum and articles of association will not include the various provisions applicable only to specified purpose acquisition corporations that Sino’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation contains (Article Sixth).

As noted above, the provisions of Article Sixth of Sino’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation will not be included in Holdco’s memorandum and articles of association. The provisions of Article Sixth that are proposed to be deleted, by the terms of the preamble (which will also be deleted), apply only during the period that will terminate upon the consummation of the business combination that will be effected by the transactions:

•       Section A requires that Sino submit such business combination to its stockholders for approval pursuant to the proxy rules promulgated under the Exchange Act.

•       Section B provides that Sino may consummate a business combination that is submitted to its stockholders for approval only if a majority of the then outstanding shares of common stock present and entitled to vote at the meeting to approve such business combination are voted for the approval of such business combination.

•       Section C specifies the procedures for exercising conversion rights with respect to public shares.

•       Section D prohibits Sino from consummating a business combination unless Sino has net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001 upon consummation of such business combination.

•       Section E provides that, if a business combination is not consummated within a certain period of time, Sino will cease all operations except for the purposes of winding up, redeeming 100% of the public shares for cash and, subject to approval of Sino’s then stockholders and Sino’s board of directors, dissolving and liquidating.

•       Section F provides when holders of public shares are entitled to receive distributions from the trust account.

•       Section G prohibits Sino from issuing any shares of common stock, any securities convertible into common stock, or any securities which participate in or are otherwise entitled in any manner to any of the proceeds in the trust account or which vote as a class with the common stock on a business combination, prior to the consummation of a business combination.

In the judgment of Sino’s board of directors, the charter proposals are desirable for the following reasons:

•       The name of the new public entity is desirable to reflect the transaction with WFG.

•       The greater number of authorized number of shares of capital stock is desirable for Holdco to have sufficient shares to issue to the holders of common stock and rights of Sino and capital stock of WFG to complete the transactions and have additional authorized shares for financing its business, for acquiring other businesses, for forming strategic partnerships and alliances and for stock dividends and stock splits.

77

•       Although the present amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that Sino’s corporate existence will terminate if a business combination is not consummated, perpetual existence is the usual period of existence for corporations and Holdco’s board of directors believes it is the most appropriate period for Holdco.

•       The preamble and Article Sixth (other than Section H providing for a classified board) relate to the operation of Sino as a blank check company prior to the consummation of its initial business combination and would not be applicable to Holdco after consummation of the transactions. Accordingly, they would serve no further purpose.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, authorized but unissued ordinary shares may enable Holdco’s board of directors to render it more difficult or to discourage an attempt to obtain control of Holdco and thereby protect continuity of or entrench its management, which may adversely affect the market price of Holdco’s ordinary shares. If, in the due exercise of its fiduciary obligations, for example, Holdco’s board of directors were to determine that a takeover proposal were not in the best interests of Holdco, such shares could be issued by the board of directors without shareholder approval in one or more private placements or other transactions that might prevent or render more difficult or make more costly the completion of any attempted takeover transaction by diluting voting or other rights of the proposed acquirer or insurgent stockholder group, by creating a substantial voting block in institutional or other hands that might support the position of the incumbent board of directors, by effecting an acquisition that might complicate or preclude the takeover, or otherwise. The authorization of additional ordinary shares will, however, enable Holdco to have the flexibility to authorize the issuance of shares in the future for financing its business, for acquiring other businesses, for forming strategic partnerships and alliances and for stock dividends and stock splits. Holdco currently has no such plans, proposals, or arrangements, written or otherwise, to issue any of the additional authorized shares for such purposes.

If the merger proposal is not approved, the charter proposals will not be presented at the special meeting.

The approval of each charter proposal will require the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Sino common stock on the record date.

Under the merger agreement, the approval of the charter proposals is a condition to the consummation of the transactions.

A copy of Holdco’s memorandum and articles of association, as it will be in effect assuming approval of all of the charter proposals and upon consummation of the transactions, is attached to this proxy statement as Annex C .

SINO’S BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT STOCKHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE APPROVAL OF EACH OF THE CHARTER PROPOSALS.

COMPARISON OF CORPORATE GO VER NANCE AND SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS

Holdco is an exempted company incorporated under the Companies Law (2013 Revision) of the Cayman Islands. Cayman Islands law and Holdco’s memorandum and articles of association will govern the rights of its shareholders. The Companies Law (2013 Revision) of the Cayman Islands differs in some material respects from laws generally applicable to United States corporations and their stockholders. In addition, the memorandum and articles of association will differ in certain material respects from the certificate of incorporation and by-laws of Sino. As a result, when you become a shareholder of Holdco, your rights will differ in some regards as compared to when you were a stockholder of Sino. Below is a summary chart outlining important similarities and differences in the corporate governance and stockholder/shareholder rights associated with each of Sino and Holdco according to applicable law and/or the organizational documents of Sino and Holdco. You also should review the memorandum and articles of association of Holdco (as same will be amended and restated immediately prior to the merger) attached as Annex C to this proxy statement/prospectus, as well as the Delaware corporate law and corporate laws of the Cayman Islands, including the Companies Law, to understand how these laws apply to Sino and Holdco.

THE INCENTIVE COM PENSATION PLAN PROPOSAL

General

On April 10, 2015, the Board of Directors of Holdco adopted the 2015 Long-Term Equity Incentive Plan (the “2015 Plan”), subject to the approval of Sino’s stockholders. The purpose of the 2015 Plan is to assist in attracting, retaining, motivating, and rewarding certain key employees, officers, directors, and consultants of Holdco and its affiliates and promoting the creation of long-term value for shareholders of Holdco by closely aligning the interests of such individuals with those of such shareholders. The 2015 Plan authorizes the award of share-based incentives to encourage eligible employees, officers, directors, and consultants, as described below, to expend maximum effort in the creation of shareholder value.

If approved by Sino stockholders at the meeting, the 2015 Plan will become effective on the consummation of the transactions. Sino’s Board is recommending that its stockholders approve the material terms of the 2015 Plan as described below.

Summary of the 2015 Plan

The 2015 Plan shall be administered by the board of directors or a committee of the board. All references in the 2015 Plan to “committee” mean the board, if no committee has been designated to administer the plan. If administered by a committee, such committee shall be composed of at least two directors, all of whom are “outside directors” within the meaning of the regulations issued under Section 162(m) of the IRC and “non-employee” directors within the meaning of Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act. Initially, the compensation committee will administer the 2015 Plan.

Subject to the provisions of the 2015 Plan, the committee determines, among other things, the persons to whom from time to time awards may be granted, the specific type of awards to be granted, the number of shares subject to each award, share prices, any restrictions or limitations on the awards, and any vesting, exchange, deferral, surrender, cancellation, acceleration, termination, exercise or forfeiture provisions related to the awards.

Shares Subject to the Plan

The 2015 Plan will reserve a number of Holdco ordinary shares for issuance in accordance with the plan’s terms in an amount equal to 10% of the ordinary shares outstanding immediately after the closing of the business combination. Ordinary shares subject to other awards that are forfeited or terminated will be available for future award grants under the plan. Ordinary shares that are surrendered by a holder or withheld by Holdco as full or partial payment in connection with any award under the plan, as well as any ordinary shares surrendered by a holder or withheld by Holdco or one of its subsidiaries to satisfy the tax withholding obligations related to any award under the plan, shall not be available for subsequent awards under the plan.

Under the plan, on a change in the number of ordinary shares outstanding as a result of a dividend on ordinary shares payable in ordinary shares, share forward split or reverse split or other extraordinary or unusual event that results in a change in the ordinary shares as a whole, the terms of the outstanding award will be proportionately adjusted.

Eligibility

Holdco may grant awards under the plan to employees, officers, directors and consultants who are deemed to have rendered or to be able to render significant services to Holdco or its subsidiaries and who are deemed to have contributed or to have the potential to contribute to the success of Holdco. An incentive share option may be granted under the plan only to a person who, at the time of the grant, is an employee of Holdco or a related company.

Types of Awards

Options . The plan provides both for “incentive” share options as defined in Section 422 of the IRC, and for options not qualifying as incentive options, both of which may be granted with any other share based award under the plan.

The board or committee determines the exercise price per ordinary share purchasable under an incentive or non-qualified share option, which may not be less than 100% of the fair market value on the day of the grant or, if greater, the par value of an ordinary share. However, the exercise price of an incentive share option granted to a

82

person possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of Holdco’s share capital may not be less than 110% of the fair market value on the date of grant. The aggregate fair market value of all ordinary shares with respect to which incentive share options are exercisable by a participant for the first time during any calendar year (under all of Holdco’s plans), measured at the date of the grant, may not exceed $100,000 or such other amount as may be subsequently specified under the IRC or the regulations thereunder.

An incentive share option may only be granted within a ten-year period from the effective date of the plan and may only be exercised within ten years from the date of the grant, or within five years in the case of an incentive share option granted to a person who, at the time of the grant, owns ordinary shares possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of Holdco’s share capital.

Subject to any limitations or conditions the board or committee may impose, share options may be exercised, in whole or in part, at any time during the term of the share option by giving written notice of exercise to Holdco specifying the number of ordinary shares to be purchased. The notice must be accompanied by payment in full of the purchase price, either in cash or, if provided in the agreement, in Holdco’s securities or in combination of the two.

Generally, share options granted under the plan may not be transferred other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution and all share options are exercisable, during the holder’s lifetime, only by the holder (or in the event of legal incapacity or incompetency, the holder’s guardian or legal representative). However, a holder, with the approval of the board or committee, may transfer a non-qualified share option by gift to a family member of the holder, by domestic relations order to a family member of the holder or by transfer to an entity in which more than 50% of the voting interests are owned by family members of the holder or the holder.

Generally, if the holder is an employee, no share options granted under the plan may be exercised by the holder unless he or she is employed by Holdco or one of its subsidiaries at the time of the exercise and has been so employed continuously from the time the share options were granted. However, in the event the holder’s employment is terminated due to disability, the holder may still exercise his or her vested share options for a period of 12 months or such other greater or lesser period as the board or committee may determine, from the date of termination or until the expiration of the stated term of the share option, whichever period is shorter. Similarly, should a holder die while employed by Holdco or a subsidiary, his or her legal representative or legatee under his or her will may exercise the decedent holder’s vested share options for a period of 12 months from the date of his or her death, or such other greater or lesser period as the board or committee may determine or until the expiration of the stated term of the share option, whichever period is shorter. If the holder’s employment is terminated due to normal retirement, the holder may still exercise his or her vested share options for a period of 12 months from the date of termination or until the expiration of the stated term of the share option, whichever period is shorter. If the holder’s employment is terminated for any reason other than death, disability or normal retirement, the share option will automatically terminate, except that if the holder’s employment is terminated by Holdco without cause, then the portion of any share option that is vested on the date of termination may be exercised for a period of three months (or such other greater or lesser period as the committee may specify in the award agreement) from the date of such termination or until the expiration of the stated term of the share option, whichever period is shorter.

Share Appreciation Rights . Under the plan, the committee may grant share appreciation rights in tandem with a share option or alone and unrelated to a share option. The committee may grant share appreciation rights to participants who have been, or are being, granted share options under the plan as a means of allowing the participants to exercise their share options without the need to pay the exercise price in cash. In conjunction with non-qualified share options, share appreciation rights may be granted either at or after the time of the grant of the non-qualified share options. In conjunction with incentive share options, share appreciation rights may be granted only at the time of the grant of the incentive share options. A share appreciation right entitles the holder to receive a number of ordinary shares having a fair market value equal to the excess fair market value of one ordinary share over the exercise price of the related share option, multiplied by the number of shares subject to the share appreciation right. The granting of a share appreciation right in tandem with a share option will not affect the number of ordinary shares available for awards under the plan. The number of shares available for awards under the plan will, however, be reduced by the number of ordinary shares acquirable upon exercise of the share option to which the share appreciation right relates.

Restricted Shares . Under the plan, the committee may award restricted shares either alone or in addition to other awards granted under the plan. The board or committee determines the persons to whom grants of restricted shares are made, the number of shares to be awarded, the price if any to be paid for the restricted shares by the person

83

receiving the shares, the time or times within which awards of restricted shares may be subject to forfeiture, the vesting schedule and rights to acceleration thereof, and all other terms and conditions of the restricted share awards.

The plan requires that all restricted shares awarded to a holder remain in Holdco’s physical custody until the restrictions have terminated and all vesting requirements with respect to the restricted shares have been fulfilled. Holdco will retain custody of all dividends or distributions made or declared with respect to the restricted shares during the restriction period. A breach of any restriction regarding the restricted shares will cause a forfeiture of the restricted shares and any retained distributions. Except for the foregoing restrictions, the holder will, even during the restriction period, have all of the rights of a shareholder, including the right to vote the shares.

Other Share-Based Awards . Under the plan, the committee may grant other share-based awards, subject to limitations under applicable law, that are denominated or payable in, valued in whole or in part by reference to, or otherwise based on, or related to, ordinary shares, as deemed consistent with the purposes of the plan. These other share-based awards may be in the form of purchase rights, ordinary shares awarded that are not subject to any restrictions or conditions, convertible or exchangeable debentures or other rights convertible into ordinary shares and awards valued by reference to the value of securities of, or the performance of, one of Holdco’s subsidiaries. These other share-based awards may include performance shares or options, whose award is tied to specific performance criteria. These other share-based awards may be awarded either alone, in addition to, or in tandem with any other awards under the plan or any of Holdco’s other plans.

Accelerated Vesting and Exercisability

If any one person, or more than one person acting as a group, acquires the ownership of Holdco ordinary shares that, together with the shares held by such person or group, constitutes more than 50% of the total fair market value or combined voting power of Holdco ordinary shares, and Holdco’s board of directors does not authorize or otherwise approve such acquisition, then the vesting periods of any and all share options and other awards granted and outstanding under the plan shall be accelerated and all such share options and awards will immediately and entirely vest, and the respective holders thereof will have the immediate right to purchase and/or receive any and all ordinary shares subject to such share options and awards on the terms set forth in the plan and the respective agreements respecting such share options and awards. An increase in the percentage of shares owned by any one person, or persons acting as a group, as a result of a transaction in which Holdco acquires its shares in exchange for property is not treated as an acquisition of shares.

The committee may, in the event of an acquisition by any one person, or more than one person acting as a group, together with acquisitions during the 12-month period ending on the date of the most recent acquisition by such person or persons, of assets from Holdco that have a total gross fair market value equal to or more than 50% of the total gross fair market value of all of the assets of Holdco immediately before such acquisition or acquisitions, or if any one person, or more than one person acting as a group, acquires the ownership of Holdco ordinary shares that, together with the shares held by such person or group, constitutes more than 50% of the total fair market value or combined voting power of Holdco ordinary shares, which has been approved by Holdco’s board of directors, (i) accelerate the vesting of any and all share options and other awards granted and outstanding under the plan, or (ii) require a holder of any award granted under the plan to relinquish such award to Holdco upon the tender by Holdco to the holder of cash in an amount equal to the repurchase value of such award. For this purpose, “gross fair market value” means the value of the assets of Holdco, or the value of the assets being disposed of, determined without regard to any liabilities associated with such assets and “repurchase value” means the aggregate fair market value of the shares (if the award to be settled is comprised of ordinary shares) or the aggregate difference between the fair market value of the shares and the exercise price of the award (if the award is a share option or share appreciation right).

Notwithstanding any provisions of the plan or any award granted thereunder to the contrary, no acceleration shall occur with respect to any award to the extent such acceleration would cause the plan or an award granted thereunder to fail to comply with Section 409A of the IRC.

Award Limitation

No participant may be granted awards for more than 1% of the outstanding shares of Holdco in any calendar year.

84

Other Limitations

The board or committee may not modify or amend any outstanding option or share appreciation right to reduce the exercise price of such option or share appreciation right, as applicable, below the exercise price as of the date of grant of such option or share appreciation right. In addition, no option or share appreciation right may be granted in exchange for the cancellation or surrender of an option or share appreciation right or other award having a higher exercise price.

Withholding Taxes

Upon the exercise of any award granted under the plan, the holder may be required to remit to Holdco an amount sufficient to satisfy all federal, state and local withholding tax requirements prior to delivery of any certificate or certificates for ordinary shares.

Term and Amendments

Unless terminated by the board, the plan shall continue to remain effective until no further awards may be granted and all awards granted under the plan are no longer outstanding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, grants of incentive share options may be made only until ten years from the date of the consummation of the acquisition. The board may at any time, and from time to time, amend the plan, provided that no amendment will be made that would impair the rights of a holder under any agreement entered into pursuant to the plan without the holder’s consent.

United States Federal Income Tax Consequences

The following discussion of the United States federal income tax consequences of participation in the plan is only a summary of the general rules applicable to the grant and exercise of share options and other awards and does not give specific details or cover, among other things, state, local and foreign tax treatment of participation in the plan. The information contained in this section is based on present law and regulations, which are subject to being changed prospectively or retroactively.

Incentive Share Options . Participants will recognize no taxable income upon the grant of an incentive share option. The participant generally will realize no taxable income when the incentive share option is exercised. The excess, if any, of the fair market value of the shares on the date of exercise of an incentive share option over the exercise price will be treated as an item of adjustment for a participant’s taxable year in which the exercise occurs and may result in an alternative minimum tax liability for the participant. Holdco will not qualify for any deduction in connection with the grant or exercise of incentive share options. Upon a disposition of the shares after the later of two years from the date of grant or one year after the transfer of the shares to a participant, the participant will recognize the difference, if any, between the amount realized and the exercise price as long-term capital gain or long-term capital loss, as the case may be, if the shares are capital assets.

If ordinary shares acquired upon the exercise of an incentive share option is disposed of prior to the expiration of the holding periods described above, the participant will recognize ordinary compensation income in the taxable year of disposition in an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the fair market value of the shares on the date of exercise over the exercise price paid for the shares; and Holdco will qualify for a deduction equal to any amount recognized, subject to the limitation that the compensation be reasonable.

Non-Qualified Share Options . With respect to non-qualified share options:

•       upon grant of the share option, the participant will recognize no income provided that the exercise price was not less than the fair market value of Holdco ordinary shares on the date of grant;

•       upon exercise of the share option, if the ordinary shares are not subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture, the participant will recognize ordinary compensation income in an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the fair market value of the shares on the date of exercise over the exercise price, and Holdco will qualify for a deduction in the same amount, subject to the requirement that the compensation be reasonable; and

•       Holdco will be required to comply with applicable federal income tax withholding requirements with respect to the amount of ordinary compensation income recognized by the participant.

85

On a disposition of the shares, the participant will recognize gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount realized and the sum of the exercise price and the ordinary compensation income recognized. The gain or loss will be treated as capital gain or loss if the shares are capital assets and as short-term or long-term capital gain or loss, depending upon the length of time that the participant held the shares.

If the shares acquired upon exercise of a non-qualified share option are subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture, the participant will recognize ordinary income at the time when the substantial risk of forfeiture is removed, unless the participant timely files under Section 83(b) of the IRC to elect to be taxed on the receipt of shares, and Holdco will qualify for a corresponding deduction at that time. The amount of ordinary income will be equal to the excess of the fair market value of the shares at the time the income is recognized over the amount, if any, paid for the shares.

Share Appreciation Rights . Upon the grant of a share appreciation right, the participant recognizes no taxable income and Holdco receives no deduction. The participant recognizes ordinary income and Holdco receives a deduction at the time of exercise equal to the cash and fair market value of ordinary shares payable upon the exercise.

Restricted Shares . A participant who receives restricted shares will recognize no income on the grant of the restricted shares and Holdco will not qualify for any deduction. At the time the restricted shares are no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture, a participant will recognize ordinary compensation income in an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the fair market value of the restricted shares at the time the restriction lapses over the consideration paid for the restricted shares. A participant’s shares are treated as being subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture so long as his or her sale of the shares at a profit could subject him or her to a suit under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act. The holding period to determine whether the participant has long-term or short-term capital gain or loss begins when the restriction period expires, and the tax basis for the shares will generally be the fair market value of the shares on this date.

A participant may elect under Section 83(b) of the IRC, within 30 days of the transfer of the restricted shares, to recognize ordinary compensation income on the date of transfer in an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the fair market value on the date of transfer of the restricted shares, as determined without regard to the restrictions, over the consideration paid for the restricted shares. If a participant makes an election and thereafter forfeits the shares, no ordinary loss deduction will be allowed. The forfeiture will be treated as a sale or exchange upon which there is realized loss equal to the excess, if any, of the consideration paid for the shares over the amount realized on such forfeiture. The loss will be a capital loss if the shares are capital assets. If a participant makes an election under Section 83(b), the holding period will commence on the day after the date of transfer and the tax basis will equal the fair market value of shares, as determined without regard to the restrictions, on the date of transfer.

On a disposition of the shares, a participant will recognize gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount realized and the tax basis for the shares.

Whether or not the participant makes an election under Section 83(b), Holdco generally will qualify for a deduction, subject to the reasonableness of compensation limitation, equal to the amount that is taxable as ordinary income to the participant, in the taxable year in which the income is included in the participant’s gross income. The income recognized by the participant will be subject to applicable withholding tax requirements.

Dividends paid on restricted shares that are subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture generally will be treated as compensation that is taxable as ordinary compensation income to the participant and will be deductible by Holdco subject to the reasonableness limitation. If, however, the participant makes a Section 83(b) election, the dividends will be treated as dividends and taxable as ordinary income to the participant, but will not be deductible by Holdco.

Other Share-Based Awards . The federal income tax treatment of other share-based awards will depend on the nature and restrictions applicable to the award.

Section 162(m) Limits . Section 162(m) of the IRC places a limit of $1,000,000 on the amount of compensation that a publicly traded company may deduct in any one year with respect to each of its chief executive officer and 4 most highly paid executive officers. Certain performance-based compensation approved by shareholders is not subject to the deduction limit. The plan is qualified such that awards under the plan may constitute performance-based compensation not subject to Section 162(m) of the IRC. One of the requirements for equity compensation plans is that there must be a limit to the number of shares granted to any one individual under the plan. Accordingly, the plan provides that the maximum number of shares for which awards may be made to any employee in any calendar year

86

is 40,000. The maximum amount payable pursuant to that portion of a cash award granted under the plan for any fiscal year to any employee that is intended to satisfy the requirements for “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the IRC may not exceed $500,000. Under the plan the board of directors or the compensation committee has the power to impose restrictions on awards to ensure that such awards satisfy the requirements for performance-based compensation under Section 162(m) of the IRC.

Certain Awards Deferring or Accelerating the Receipt of Compensation . Section 409A of the IRC, enacted as part of the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004, imposes certain new requirements applicable to “nonqualified deferred compensation plans.” If a nonqualified deferred compensation plan subject to Section 409A fails to meet, or is not operated in accordance with, these new requirements, then all compensation deferred under the plan may become immediately taxable. Share appreciation rights and deferred share awards that may be granted under the plan may constitute deferred compensation subject to the Section 409A requirements. It is Holdco’s intention that any award agreement governing awards subject to Section 409A will comply with these rules.

New Plan Benefits

The benefits or amounts that will be received by or allocated to any executive officers or employees under the 2015 Plan are not currently determinable since no specific grants have been decided upon and no grants will be made prior to the 2015 Plan’s adoption.

Required Vote

Adoption of the 2015 Long-Term Equity Incentive Plan proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of Sino’s ordinary shares represented in person or by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote thereon.

THE SINO BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT SINO STOCKHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE APPROVAL OF THE 2015 SHARE INCENTIVE PLAN PROPOSAL.

87

THE ADJOURNMENT PROPOSAL

The adjournment proposal allows Sino’s board of directors to submit a proposal to adjourn the special meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary, to permit further solicitation of proxies in the event, based on the tabulated votes, there are not sufficient votes at the time of the special meeting to approve the consummation of the transactions. In no event will Sino solicit proxies to adjourn the special meeting or consummate the transactions beyond the date by which it may properly do so under its amended and restated certificate of incorporation and Delaware law. The purpose of the adjournment proposal is to provide more time for the Sino initial stockholders, WFG and the WFG securityholders to make purchases of public shares or other arrangements that would increase the likelihood of obtaining a favorable vote on the merger proposal and to meet the requirement that the holders of 3,080,100 or less of the public shares exercise their right to convert their public shares into a pro rata portion of the trust account. See the section entitled “ The Merger Proposal — Interests of Sino’s Directors and Officers in the Transactions .”

In addition to an adjournment of the special meeting upon approval of an adjournment proposal, the board of directors of Sino is empowered under Delaware law to postpone the meeting at any time prior to the meeting being called to order. In such event, Sino will issue a press release and take such other steps as it believes are necessary and practical in the circumstances to inform its stockholders of the postponement.

Consequences if the Adjournment Proposal is not Approved

If an adjournment proposal is presented to the meeting and is not approved by the stockholders, Sino’s board of directors may not be able to adjourn the special meeting to a later date in the event, based on the tabulated votes, there are not sufficient votes at the time of the special meeting to approve the consummation of the transactions (because either the merger proposal is not approved or because the holders of more than 3,080,100 of the public shares exercise their right to convert their public shares into a pro rata portion of the trust account). In such event, the transactions would not be completed.

Required Vote

Adoption of the adjournment proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of Sino’s common stock represented in person or by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote thereon. Adoption of the adjournment proposal is not conditioned upon the adoption of any of the other proposals.

THE SINO BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT SINO STOCKHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE APPROVAL OF THE ADJOURNMENT PROPOSAL.

OTHER INFORMATION RELAT ED TO SINO

Introduction

Sino was incorporated on March 28, 2014 in order to serve as a vehicle for the acquisition of a target business. Sino’s efforts to identify a prospective target business were not limited to a particular industry or geographic region, although it focused on target businesses in the People’s Republic of China that operate in the non-traditional financial industry, including but not limited to microcredit companies, financial leasing and factoring companies, and guarantors. Prior to executing the merger agreement with WFG, Sino’s efforts were limited to organizational activities, completion of its initial public offering and the evaluation of possible business combinations.

Formation

In March 2014, Sino issued an aggregate of 1,150,000 shares of common stock to Best Apex Limited, an affiliate of Jianming Hao, for $25,000 in cash, at a purchase price of approximately $0.02 per share.

In June 2014, Best Apex Limited transferred (i) 230,000 shares to Lodestar Investment Holdings Corporation, an entity controlled by Richard Xu, Sino’s President, (ii) 115,000 shares to True Precision Investments Limited, an entity controlled by Peiling (Amy) He, Sino’s Chief Financial Officer, (iii) 5,750 shares to Aimin Song, a member of Sino’s Board, and (iv) 5,750 shares to Bradley Reifler, another member of Sino’s Board, all for the same price originally paid by Best Apex Limited for such shares.

Initial Public Offering

On September 2, 2014, Sino consummated its initial public offering of 4,000,000 units, each unit consisting of one share of common stock and one right to receive one-tenth of one share of common stock upon consummation of an initial business combination. The units were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per unit, generating gross proceeds of $40,000,000. On September 24, 2014, Sino consummated the sale of an additional 80,100 units that were subject to the underwriter’s over-allotment option, for aggregate additional proceeds of $801,000. Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. acted as underwriter for the initial public offering. The shares of common stock and rights comprising the units commenced separate trading on November 4, 2014 and November 19, 2014, respectively.

Simultaneously with the consummation of the initial public offering, Sino consummated a private placement of an aggregate of 210,000 private units to Best Apex Limited. The private units were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per unit, generating gross proceeds of $2,100,000. The private units are identical to the units sold in the initial public offering. However, Best Apex Limited agreed (A) to vote the underlying shares in favor of any proposed business combination, (B) not to propose, or vote in favor of, an amendment to Sino’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation with respect to its pre-business combination activities prior to the consummation of such a business combination, (C) not to convert any underlying shares into the right to receive cash from the trust account in connection with a stockholder vote to approve a proposed initial business combination or a vote to amend the provisions of its amended and restated certificate of incorporation relating to stockholders’ rights or pre-business combination activity and (D) that such underlying shares shall not participate in any liquidating distribution upon winding up if a business combination is not consummated. Best Apex Limited also agreed that these units will not be sold or transferred (except to certain permitted transferees) until after Sino has completed an initial business combination.

Offering Proceeds Held in Trust

$38,701,000 of the net proceeds from the initial public offering (including the exercise of the over-allotment option), plus $2,100,000 received from the private placement of private units, for an aggregate of $40,801,000, was placed in trust account. Except as described in the prospectus for Sino’s initial public offering and in the section entitled “ Sino’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations ” below, these proceeds will not be released until the earlier of the completion of an initial business combination and Sino’s redemption of 100% of the outstanding public shares upon its failure to consummate a business combination within the required time period.

89

Fair Market Value of Target Business

The target business or businesses that Sino acquires must collectively have a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the balance of the funds in the trust account (exclusive of deferred underwriting discounts and taxes payable) at the time of the execution of a definitive agreement for its initial business combination, although Sino may acquire a target business whose fair market value significantly exceeds 80% of the trust account balance. Sino’s board of directors determined that this test was met in connection with the proposed business combination with WFG.

Stockholder Approval of Business Combination

Under Sino’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, in connection with any proposed business combination, Sino must seek stockholder approval of an initial business combination at a meeting called for such purpose at which public stockholders may seek to convert their public shares, regardless of whether they vote for or against the proposed business combination, subject to the limitations described in the prospectus for Sino’s initial public offering. Accordingly, in connection with the business combination with WFG, public stockholders may seek to convert their public shares in accordance with the procedures set forth in this proxy statement/prospectus.

Voting Restrictions in Connection with Stockholder Meeting

In connection with any vote for a proposed business combination, including the vote with respect to the merger proposal, all of Sino’s initial stockholders, as well as all of its officers and directors, have agreed to vote the initial shares, shares included in the private units as well as any shares of common stock acquired in the aftermarket in favor of such proposed business combination.

None of Sino’s officers, directors, initial stockholders or their affiliates has purchased any shares of common stock in the open market or in private transactions. However, at any time prior to the special meeting, during a period when they are not then aware of any material nonpublic information regarding Sino or its securities, the Sino initial stockholders, WFG or WFG’s stockholders and/or their respective affiliates may purchase shares from institutional and other investors who vote, or indicate an intention to vote, against the merger proposal, or execute agreements to purchase such shares from them in the future, or they may enter into transactions with such persons and others to provide them with incentives to acquire shares of Sino’s common stock or vote their shares in favor of the merger proposal. The purpose of such share purchases and other transactions would be to increase the likelihood of satisfaction of the requirements that the holders of a majority of the public shares present and entitled to vote at the special meeting to approve the merger proposal vote in its favor and that holders of 3,080,100 or fewer of the public shares demand conversion of their public shares into cash, where it appears that such requirements would otherwise not be met. All shares repurchased by Sino’s affiliates pursuant to such arrangements would be voted in favor of the proposed business combination. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, there have been no such discussions and no agreements to such effect have been entered into with any such investor or holder.

Liquidation if No Business Combination

Under Sino’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, if Sino does not complete the business combination with WFG or another initial business combination by September 1, 2016, Sino will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem 100% of the outstanding public shares and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of Sino’s remaining stockholders and its board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject (in the case of (ii) and (iii) above) to Sino’s obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. At such time, the rights will expire. Holders of rights will receive nothing upon a liquidation with respect to such rights and the rights will be worthless.

Each of Sino’s initial stockholders has agreed to waive its rights to participate in any distribution from Sino’s trust account or other assets with respect to the initial shares and shares underlying the private units. There will be no distribution from the trust account with respect to Sino’s rights, which will expire worthless if Sino is liquidated.

The proceeds deposited in the trust account could, however, become subject to the claims of Sino’s creditors which would be prior to the claims of its public stockholders. Although Sino has obtained waiver agreements from certain vendors and service providers it has engaged and owes money to, and the prospective target businesses Sino has

90

negotiated with, whereby such parties have waived any right, title, interest or claim of any kind they may have in or to any monies held in the trust account, and although Sino will seek such waivers from vendors it engages in the future, there is no guarantee that they or other vendors who did not execute such waivers will not seek recourse against the trust account notwithstanding such agreements. Jianming Hao has agreed, pursuant to an agreement with Sino and Cantor Fitzgerald & Co., that he will be personally liable to ensure that the proceeds in the trust account are not reduced by the claims of target businesses or claims of vendors or other entities that are owed money by Sino for services rendered or contracted for or products sold to Sino, but only if such a vendor or target business has not executed such a waiver. Moreover, he will not be personally liable to public stockholders and instead will only have liability to Sino. However, he may not be able to satisfy his indemnification obligations if he is required to so as Sino has not required Mr. Hao to retain any assets to provide for his indemnification obligations, nor has Sino taken any further steps to ensure that he will be able to satisfy any indemnification obligations that arise. Accordingly, the actual per-share redemption price could be less than approximately $10.00, plus interest, due to claims of creditors. Additionally, if Sino is forced to file a bankruptcy case or an involuntary bankruptcy case is filed against it which is not dismissed, the proceeds held in the trust account could be subject to applicable bankruptcy law, and may be included in Sino’s bankruptcy estate and subject to the claims of third parties with priority over the claims of Sino’s stockholders. To the extent any bankruptcy claims deplete the trust account, Sino cannot assure you it will be able to return to its public stockholders at least approximately $10.00 per share.

Sino’s public stockholders are entitled to receive funds from the trust account only in the event of its failure to complete a business combination within the required time periods or if the stockholders seek to have Sino convert their respective shares for cash upon a business combination which is actually completed by Sino. In no other circumstances does a stockholder have any right or interest of any kind to or in the trust account.

Under the DGCL, stockholders may be held liable for claims by third parties against a corporation to the extent of distributions received by them in a dissolution. The portion of Sino’s trust account distributed to its public stockholders upon the redemption of 100% of its outstanding public shares in the event Sino does not complete its initial business combination within the required time period may be considered a liquidation distribution under Delaware law. If the corporation complies with certain procedures set forth in Section 280 of the DGCL intended to ensure that it makes reasonable provision for all claims against it, including a 60-day notice period during which any third-party claims can be brought against the corporation, a 90-day period during which the corporation may reject any claims brought, and an additional 150-day waiting period before any liquidating distributions are made to stockholders, any liability of stockholders with respect to a liquidating distribution is limited to the lesser of such stockholder’s pro rata share of the claim or the amount distributed to the stockholder, and any liability of the stockholder would be barred after the third anniversary of the dissolution.

Furthermore, if the portion of Sino’s trust account distributed to its public stockholders upon the redemption of 100% of its public shares in the event Sino does not complete its initial business combination within the required time period is not considered a liquidation distribution under Delaware law and such redemption distribution is deemed to be unlawful, then pursuant to Section 174 of the DGCL, the statute of limitations for claims of creditors could then be six years after the unlawful redemption distribution, instead of three years, as in the case of a liquidation distribution. If Sino is unable to complete a business combination within the prescribed time frame, it will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem 100% of the outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of Sino’s remaining stockholders and its board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject (in the case of (ii) and (iii) above) to its obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. Accordingly, if a business combination does not occur, it is Sino’s intention to redeem its public shares as soon as reasonably possible following the expiration of the time periods described above and, therefore, Sino does not intend to comply with the procedures required by Section 280 of the DGCL, which would limit the amount and duration of Sino’s stockholders’ liability with respect to liquidating distributions as described above. As such, Sino’s stockholders could potentially be liable for any claims to the extent of distributions received by them (but no more) and any liability of Sino’s stockholders may extend well beyond the third anniversary of such date.

Because Sino will not be complying with Section 280 of the DGCL, Section 281(b) of the DGCL requires Sino to adopt a plan, based on facts known to it at such time that will provide for its payment of all existing and pending

91

claims or claims that may be potentially brought against it within the subsequent 10 years. However, because Sino is a blank check company, rather than an operating company, and Sino’s operations will be limited to searching for prospective target businesses to acquire, the only likely claims to arise would be from its vendors (such as lawyers, investment bankers, etc.) or prospective target businesses.

Sino will pay the costs of any subsequent liquidation from its remaining assets outside of the trust account. If such funds are insufficient, Jianming Hao has agreed to pay the funds necessary to complete such liquidation (currently anticipated to be no more than approximately $15,000) and has agreed not to seek repayment for such expenses.

Facilities

Sino maintains its principal executive offices at 590 Madison Avenue, 21 st Floor, New York, New York 10022. This space is being provided to Sino by an unaffiliated third party for approximately $2,000 per year. Sino also has offices in Beijing, China that is being provided by Jianming Hao at no cost to Sino. Sino considers its current office space adequate for its current operations. Upon consummation of the transactions, the principal executive offices of Holdco will be that of WFG located at 1F, Building 7, No. 58 Jianguo Road, Chaoyang District, Beijing 100024, PRC.

Employees

Sino has three executive officers. These individuals are not obligated to devote any specific number of hours to Sino’s matters and intend to devote only as much time as they deem necessary to its affairs. Sino does not intend to have any full time employees prior to the consummation of a business combination.

All of the 4,080,100 ordinary shares sold as part of the units in Sino’s initial public offering contain a conversion feature which allows for the conversion of ordinary shares under Sino’s Liquidation or Stockholder Approval provisions. In accordance with ASC 480, such provisions not solely within the control of Sino require the security to be classified outside of permanent equity. Ordinary liquidation events, which involve the redemption and liquidation of all of the entity’s equity instruments, are excluded from the provisions of ASC 480. Although Sino did not specify a maximum conversion threshold, its charter provides that in no event will it allow conversion of Public Shares in an amount that would cause its net tangible assets (stockholders’ equity) to be less than $5,000,001. Further, an investor

94

in the initial public offering holding 1,000,000 public units (which includes 1,000,000 ordinary shares) has agreed to hold his ordinary shares through the consummation of an initial business combination, vote in favor of such proposed initial business combination and not seek conversion of his ordinary shares.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards if currently adopted would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.

Results of Operations

Sino’s entire activity since inception on March 28, 2014, was in preparation for its IPO, which was consummated on September 2, 2014. Since the IPO, Sino’s activity has been limited to the evaluation of target businesses with which to consummate an initial business combination, and Sino will not generate any operating revenues until the closing and completion of its initial business combination. Sino expects to generate small amounts of non-operating income in the form of interest income on cash and cash equivalents. Interest income is not expected to be significant in view of current low interest rates on risk-free investments (treasury securities). Sino expects to incur increased expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as for due diligence expenses. Sino expects expenses to increase substantially after this period.

For the six months ended June 30, 2015, Sino had net losses of $410,086 primarily as a result of general and administrative expenses and operating costs offset by interest income generated from the trust account. The interest income generated from trust account was $2,024. General and administrative expenses are $385,064. Sino was incorporated in the State of Delaware and is required to pay franchise taxes to the State of Delaware on an annual basis. State franchise tax for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was accrued in the amount of $27,046.

For the three months ended June 30, 2015, we had net losses of $233,317 which consist of general and administrative expenses and operating costs offset by interest income generated from the Trust Account. The interest income generated from Trust Account is $1,018. General and administrative expenses are of $220,812. State Franchise tax for the three months ended June 30, 2015 was accrued in the amount of $13,523.

For the period from March 28 to June 30, 2014, we had net losses of $975, which represents the formation costs of the Company. No other costs was incurred during the period.

For the period from March 28, 2014 (inception) through December 31, 2014, Sino had net losses of $165,400 which consist of formation expenses, general and administrative expenses and operating costs offset by interest income generated from the trust account. The interest income generated from trust account totaled $1,051. General and administrative expenses were $113,479. Fiscal year 2014 state franchise tax was accrued in the amount of $52,972.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of June 30, 2015, Sino had cash of $188,632 outside of its trust account and $356,042 in current liabilities. In addition, Sino had $40,804,075 in restricted cash and equivalents in the trust account, of which, $3,075 of interest income may be released to Sino in order to fund working capital requirements or tax payments. Sino intends to use the remainder of the proceeds not held in the trust account plus the interest earned on the funds held in the trust account that may be released to it to fund Sino’s operations and the costs associated with the business combination with WFG.

To supplement Sino’s working capital needs, Jianming Hao, Sino’s Chief Executive Officer, loaned Sino $300,000 on May 28, 2015. The loan made by Mr. Hao is evidenced by a promissory note. The note would either be paid upon

95

consummation of the business combination, without interest, or, at Mr. Hao’s discretion, may be converted upon consummation of the business combination into additional private units at a price of $10.00 per unit.

Until consummation of the business combination, Sino will be using the funds not held in the trust account, plus the interest earned on the trust account balance (net of income, and other tax obligations) that may be released to Sino to fund its working capital requirements and consummating the business combination.

Sino will need to raise additional capital through loans or additional investments from its shareholders, officers, directors, or third parties. None of the shareholders, officers or directors are under any obligation to advance funds to, or to invest in, Sino. Accordingly, Sino may not be able to obtain additional financing. If Sino is unable to raise additional capital, it may be required to take additional measures to conserve liquidity, which could include, but not necessarily be limited to, curtailing operations, suspending the pursuit of its business plan, and reducing overhead expenses. Sino cannot provide any assurance that new financing will be available to it on commercially acceptable terms, if at all. These conditions raise substantial doubt about Sino’s ability to continue as a going concern. Sino’s financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Sino did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as of June 30, 2015.

Independent Auditors’ Fees

Effective as of January 9, 2015, the firm of Marcum LLP was engaged as Sino’s independent registered public accounting firm. From June 30, 2014 to January 9, 2015, KPMG LLP served as Sino’s independent registered public accounting firm. The following is a summary of fees paid to Sino’s independent registered public accounting firms during 2014.

Audit Fees

Fees paid to Sino’s independent registered public accounting firms were $90,000 for the services in connection with its Annual Report on form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, two quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarters ended June 30, 2014 and September 30, 2014 and the IPO, including the review of Sino’s registration statement on Form S-1 and amendments thereto, comfort letters and consents.

Audit-Related Fees

Sino did not receive audit-related services that are not reported as audit fees for the period from March 2014 (inception) through December 31, 2014.

Tax Fees

During the period from March 2014 (inception) through December 31, 2014, Marcum did not render any tax services to Sino. However, Marcum will provide tax services to it as and when required.

All Other Fees

During the period from March 2014 (inception) through December 31, 2014, there were no fees billed for services provided by Sino’s independent registered public accounting firm other than those set forth above.

Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures

Since Sino’s audit committee was not formed until August 2014, the audit committee did not pre-approve the foregoing services prior to such date, although any services rendered prior to the formation of the audit committee were reviewed and ratified by the committee following its formation. The audit committee pre-approved all the foregoing services subsequent to such date. In accordance with Section 10A(i) of the Exchange Act, before Sino engages its independent accountant to render audit or non-audit services on a going-forward basis, the engagement will be approved by its audit committee.

96

Code of Ethics

In September 2014, Sino’s board of directors adopted a code of ethics that applies to Sino’s directors, officers, and employees and of any subsidiaries Sino may have in the future (including its principal executive officer, its principal financial officer, its principal accounting officer or controller, and persons performing similar functions). Sino will provide, without charge, upon request, copies of its code of ethics. Requests for copies of Sino’s code of ethics should be sent in writing to Sino Mercury Acquisition Corp., 590 Madison Ave, 21 st Floor, New York, New York 10022.

Upon the consummation of the transactions, Holdco will adopt a similar code of ethics that will apply to Holdco’s directors, officers and employees as well as those of its subsidiaries.

BUSINESS OF WFG

Overview

WFG is an integrated financing solution provider with operations located primarily in Jinzhong City, Shanxi Province and Beijing, China. WFG’s goal is to assist Chinese SMEs, which have limited access to financing, to improve their overall fund-raising capability and enable them to obtain funding for business development. WFG principally operates in the following business lines:

•       Financial Guarantees — facilitating SMEs’ financing opportunities by acting as a guarantor to secure credit facilities from lending banks and other financial institutions.

•       Financial Leasing — providing direct equipment leasing or purchase-lease-back services to SMEs, to satisfy SMEs’ working capital needs.

•       Financial Advisory Services — providing financial advisory services to WFG’s clients.

At the end of 2014, Dongsheng Guarantee, WFG’s operating subsidiary in the PRC, with approximately $48.3 million (or RMB 300 million) of registered capital, was ranked as one of the top 10 financing guarantee companies in Shanxi Province, in terms of registered capital (Source: State Administration of Industry and Commerce).

Financial Guarantees

WFG has a 9-year operation history of financial guarantee business, which was started in 2006. WFG facilitates financing from banks to SMEs by providing a guarantee to the lenders such that, in the event of a borrower’s default, WFG will repay the principal, interest and related fees and expenses in connection with the underlying debt. WFG believes its guarantee services enable its SME customers to obtain financing from banks on better terms, more conveniently, easily and quickly than in the absence of such guarantees.

Financial Leasing

WFG’s financial leasing business was started as a way to supplement its financial guarantee business. Most of the financial leasing business at that time was derived from WFG’s established guarantee clients, serving as an alternative financing solution for SME clients that owned unencumbered valuable equipment.

In 2009, due to growing needs of SMEs outside WFG’s guarantee clients’, WFG expanded its financial leasing business, forming a separate subsidiary within WFG in Beijing.

Financial Advisory and Agency Services

In addition to the provision of guarantee services and financial leasing, WFG also enters into separate financial consultancy services agreements with customers, under which the customer pays WFG consultancy fees. WFG provides tailor-made financial consultancy services by proposing various customized financing methods or products to customers and assisting customers in acquiring financing. In connection with these consultancy arrangements, WFG customers may utilize WFG’s guarantee services depending on individual circumstances and if the customer satisfies WFG’s requirements and risk assessment criteria. Under certain circumstances, WFG could also act as a financing dealer between other financial leasing companies who need capital and financial institutions who are willing to provide capital, in which case it would record a net of interest income for the transactions.

History and Corporate Structure

WFG is a holding company that was incorporated under the laws of the British Virgin Islands on July 27, 2014. After several recapitalizations and restructurings, WFG holds 100% of the interests of Jinshang Leasing, Jinchen Agriculture, Dongsheng Guarantee and Tianjin Jiaming through its wholly owned subsidiary, Full Shine.

Jinshang Leasing was incorporated on May 18, 2009 in Beijing under the laws of the PRC and is principally engaged in providing capital leasing services to SMEs and related financing advisory services in the PRC. On December 2, 2014, WFG through Full Shine, acquired 100% of the ownership interests of Jinshang Leasing.

98

Jinchen Agriculture was incorporated on February 29, 2012 in Jinzhong City, Shangxi Province under the laws of the PRC. On December 22, 2014, Jinshang Leasing acquired 100% of the ownership of Jinchen Agriculture. Jinchen Agriculture is a wholly owned subsidiary of Jinshang Leasing and has not yet conducted any specific business activity since its establishment.

Dongsheng Guarantee was incorporated on February 22, 2006 in Jinzhong City, Shangxi Province, under the laws of the PRC and is principally engaged in providing credit guarantees to SMEs and related financial advisory services in the PRC. On December 22, 2014, Jinchen Agriculture acquired 100% of the ownership interests of Dongsheng Guarantee.

Tianjin Jiaming was incorporated on April 23, 2014 in Tianjin, under the laws of the PRC as a wholly owned subsidiary of Jinshang Leasing. Tianjin Jiaming has not yet conducted specific business activity since its establishment.

The following is an organizational chart setting forth the ownership of WFG’s subsidiaries:

WFG’s Current Corporate Structure

Industry Background

SMEs are A Major Driver of China’s Economy

SMEs have become an indispensable driver in promoting economic and employment growth in the PRC, driving technological and enterprise system innovation and contributing to China’s economic transformation. According to the State Administration for Industry & Commerce of the People’s Republic of China, (“SAIC”), by July 2014, SMEs contributed over 60% of China’s gross domestic product and over 50% of the government’s tax income, received 65% of innovation patents granted and were responsible for over 80% of new product developments. SMEs also represented approximately 80% of total employment in China’s urban areas.

99

According to the SAIC, there were more than 50 million SMEs nationwide (56 million SMEs nation-wide based upon “China MSME Finance Report 2014”) including microenterprises as of December 31, 2011. From June 2007 to June 2012, SMEs with registered capital of less than RMB 10 million (about US $1.6 million) recorded the fastest growth among all enterprise groups in China, contributing 89% of total growth out of the total number of enterprises.

Lack of Financing for SMEs

The financing needs of SMEs have been largely underserved by traditional financial institutions. Chinese SMEs have:

•       very limited financing sources. Chinese SMEs largely rely on bank loans. By the end of 2013, banking institutions provided loan services to 22% of the 56 million SMEs nation-wide (“China MSME Finance Report 2014”). For the purpose of establishing market dominance through control of national resource allocation, most commercial banks in China principally target large, state-owned companies and focus their financial services on key clients, industries, regions and products;

•       very limited access to capital markets. China’s capital markets primarily support state-owned companies and large private companies, which meet the established criteria of asset scale, revenue and net profit. Most SMEs in China are not qualified to go public and raise capital through China’s capital markets.

Credit Gap between Banks and SMEs in China

Historically, traditional banks have been reluctant to lend to SMEs. Although in recent years, under government guidance, traditional banks are attaching greater importance to serving SMEs, they are still reluctant to lend to SMEs for several reasons including:

1)     bank loans usually require borrowers to provide a full set of credit and asset ownership records, which SMEs generally lack;

2)     commercial banks, which are mostly government owned, are able to maintain relatively high profit margins and avoid default risk by taking advantage of the implicit government support provided to state enterprise borrowers, thereby having no incentive to serve SMEs;

3)     SMEs usually have limited operating history and credit profiles, are vulnerable to economic downturns, and have a higher percentage of defaults compared with large, state-owned companies; it is therefore difficult for banks to justify the risk when lending to SMEs; and

4)     smaller regional or local banks, which have the potential to provide lending to SMEs, are still in an early stage of development and lack vision and energy to aggressively enter this market.

As a result, there remains a significant unmet need for financial services to SMEs in China.

Financial Guarantee — Intermediary between Banks and SMEs

The history of China’s financial guarantee industry began in 1993, when the State Council approved the establishment of China National Investment and Guaranty Co., Ltd. Although the financial guarantee industry grew slowly before 2000 with a limited number of guarantee companies (most of which were owned by the government), it has since evolved into an established, regulated, well-recognized and fast-growing segment of China’s financial services industry, dominated by private sector entities.

In recent years, the financial guarantee industry played an active role in supporting SME financing. According to the China MSME Finance Report 2014 (Compact Version), outstanding guaranteed loans to SMEs nation-wide was RMB 1.28 trillion (US $200 billion) at the end of 2013, an increase of 12.9% from the end of 2012, accounting for 75.8% of all outstanding guaranteed loans.

Financial Leasing — Rapid Growth

According to the China MSME Finance Report 2014 (Compact Version), there were 1,023 financial leasing companies nationwide at the end of 2013, representing an 83.2% increase from the prior year. At the end of 2013,

100

outstanding balances of financial leasing contracts reached RMB 2.1 trillion (US $338 billion), with year-on-year growth of 35.5%. Despite this rapid expansion of the sector, SME participation was limited compared with that of large state enterprises. It is estimated that balances of SME financial leasing contracts were less than RMB 200 billion (US $32.2 billion) at the end of 2013, thus providing significant opportunities for expansion.

As financial leasing has increased in China, financial leasing companies devoted to expanding SME financial leasing services have emerged and played an important role in SMEs upgrading their equipment and adopting new technologies. Manufacturer-dependent financial leasing companies (i.e. captive leasing companies, owned by equipment manufacturers) are the major supplier of SME financial leasing services at present. Independent financial leasing companies are expanding into the SME financial leasing field but have been constrained in their expansion due to financial limitations associated with the significant capital requirements of the sector and immobilization of leased assets.

WFG’s Strength

WFG believes that the following competitive strengths have contributed to its success and establishes a solid platform for future growth:

Primary focus on Chinese SMEs

WFG believes its primary focus on meeting the financing needs of China SMEs has:

•       given it specialized insight into the needs and behavior of SMEs in China, and into the complexities of providing customized financing solutions to specific customers as well as providing industry-wide financing solutions to SMEs in general, thereby enabling WFG to better understand the business and credit environment customers face;

•       contributed to its strong brand reputation locally as a preferred partner for SMEs seeking financing solutions in China as well as for banks which intend to increase their exposure to the SME lending market in China;

•       allowed it to utilize its industry knowledge and expertise to better meet the diverse financing needs of China SMEs by developing and offering customized financing solutions that are more flexible and efficient compared to those offered by traditional commercial banks; and

•       allowed it to build long-term and enduring relationships with its SME customers.

Effective and practical risk management system for Chinese SME lending

With more than nine years of operating history in serving the financing needs of SMEs, which has sharpened WFG’s specialized insight into the business and credit environment SMEs face, WFG we can provide innovative financing solutions based upon the financing needs and creditworthiness of its customers. As most SMEs lack collateral at a level required by traditional commercial banks and are therefore excluded from mainstream bank financing sources, WFG’s financing solutions (including financial guarantees and financial leasing) help bridge the “credit-gap” between otherwise creditworthy SMEs and traditional commercial banks in China.

WFG has a historically low default rate, which is a direct result of WFG’s credit evaluation and risk management system which was developed based upon the specific credit conditions in China and WFG’s extensive experience in serving the SME segment. WFG’s default rate was 0.5% and 0.0% in its guarantee business for the nine months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and it was 0.4% and 0.5% in its guarantee business for the years ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. WFG’s risk control system, built upon “Trusted Business Circles” of its core customers, has proven to be extremely cost-effective, practical and efficient under current conditions in China. Historically in China, due to the fact that the legal system is not fully developed, business trust and honoring of business commitments exists in small circles of personal relationships rather than in a more objective environment. Lending through core enterprises’ “Trusted Business Circles” resolves the information asymmetry in SME lending and provides transparency into customers’ business operations. See the section titled “ WFG’s Risk Management ” below for additional information on WFG’s risk management policies.

101

Experienced and motivated management team

WFG’s success is attributed to its highly experienced, dedicated and motivated management team. Most of WFG’s management team members have over 10 years of experience in the financial industry. Certain senior management members also have extensive professional experience in highly regarded multinational financial institutions, which contributes valuable industry awareness and risk management skills and enhances management capability. WFG is committed to maintaining a capable and motivated leadership team which cultivates a market-oriented corporate culture, encourages innovation and operating efficiency and focuses on staying sensitive to changing conditions in the SME sector and regulatory developments in the financial services industry.

WFG maintains regular professional training programs for employees, and maintain a performance-based and career-driven corporate culture. WFG provides a significant amount of personal autonomy to employees and encourage sales and marketing staff to source and service their customers as if it were their own personal business. WFG’s ability to retain professional and motivated employees has contributed to WFG’s success by maintaining and improving upon the strict standards of WFG’s risk management system, as well as by providing trustworthy and professional financing solutions to customers.

WFG currently offers the following principal products and services to its customers, which primarily constitute SMEs: (1) financial guarantees; (2) financial leasing; and (3) financial advisory and agency services.

Financial Guarantees

WFG provides credit enhancement to SMEs in the form of guarantees in order to make various forms of financing more accessible to the SMEs and to generate guarantee and consulting fee income to the company. The principal type of guarantee which WFG provides is a commitment to repay to a lender (usually a commercial bank) principal, interest and associated fees in the event that a customer defaults on a loan obligation to that lender. WFG selects SME customers which it determines to be creditworthy but that lack the necessary credit histories or collateral to obtain financing independently.

102

The following is a typical financial guarantee transaction with a commercial bank:

WFG is released from its guarantee obligation after the SME client has fully repaid the principal, interest and other fees on the loan guaranteed. However, if the customer defaults and the lending bank elects to call upon WFG’s guarantee, WFG repays the financing on the defaulting client’s behalf and becomes subrogated to the lender’s claim against the borrower.

Typically, WFG requires its guarantee client to provide one or more personal guarantors, referred to as “counter-guarantors,” so that such personal guarantor is jointly and severally liable for the repayment of the financing WFG guaranteed with the borrower. Counter-guarantors generally include the following categories:

•       Business owners and controlling persons of the borrower;

•       Persons having substantial influence over the borrower’s business, usually its management team, such as the chief executive officer or chief financial officer; and

•       Other third parties closely related to the foregoing persons, such as spouses, children or relatives and other affiliates.

In addition, depending on the results of WFG’s evaluation of the borrower’s credit, WFG may require the borrower and/or counter-guarantors to post collateral, primarily land use rights and building ownership and to a lesser extent, accounts receivable and equity interests.

Different from asset-based collateral, a counter-guarantee is a form of a credit-based security measure which WFG considers an effective risk management measure as it imposes additional costs of default at a personal level and creates positive pressure on the borrower to honor its repayment obligations.

When WFG acts as a guarantor for a bank financing, the lending bank generally requires WFG to deposit a certain amount of cash in a segregated account, as a form of security. Typically, the amount of such deposit is equivalent to 10% to 20% of the financing guarantee, depending on WFG’s reputation and credibility with the lending bank. The security deposits will be returned to WFG with interest upon the release of our guarantee obligation. If the borrower does not repay the loan at the maturity date, the lending bank will send WFG a notice about the delinquent payment and WFG will then negotiate with the borrower to arrive at a plan to repay the loan. If the borrower cannot repay the loan within 30 days after the notice, the borrower is determined to have defaulted on its loan and the lending bank would withdraw directly from WFG’s security deposit account, in which the bank holds security deposits for all the guarantee loans with this bank, to offset the default of principal and the interest. After the withdrawal, if the total security deposits are not sufficient to cover all the outstanding guarantee loans, WFG will be requested to transfer more funds into the security deposit account.

103

Cooperation with commercial banks in China is key to WFG’s bank financing guarantee business. Before establishing a cooperation arrangement with a bank, WFG is generally required to provide key business, financial and legal documents to the bank for review, including, among others:

•       basic corporation information;

•       the latest financial statements;

•       credit rating reports;

•       details of WFG’s bank accounts;

•       WFG’s internal operation and risk management guidelines;

•       operating data on existing credit guarantee business; and

•       information about cooperation with other banks.

If the bank is satisfied with WFG’s business, financial and risk management performance, it will consider partnering with it. A cooperation arrangement generally constitutes a framework agreement under which WFG is permitted to guarantee up to a specified maximum amount of credit lines provided by the banks. WFG’s cooperating banks will also approve each guarantee it provides to customers on an individual basis, subject to the terms and conditions of the framework agreements.

WFG’s framework agreements with banks usually include the following key provisions:

•       Term of guarantee: usually one year.

•       Guarantee Scope: usually covers the principle amount and interest.

•       Guarantee fee rate: usually calculated with reference to the principle amount, annual guarantee fee rate and the term of the guarantee, ranged from 3% to 7.2%.

•       Collateral: WFG may request assets collateral or counter-guarantee usually based upon the client’s qualifications.

WFG believes that it maintains good relationships with commercial banks. During the last five years, none of WFG’s cooperating banks has terminated its business relationship with WFG, and no cooperating bank has tightened their cooperating terms with WFG.

In exchange for WFG’s guarantee and consulting services, customers pay a guarantee commission, which is generally payable upon the execution of a guarantee contract. The guarantee commission depends on a number of factors, such as the type of guarantee, the creditworthiness and industry of the customer, prevailing market conditions, the quality of the counter-guarantee, the type and quality of the collateral, and the amount and term of the financing. WFG’s guarantee commission rates range from 3% to 7.2% of the loan guaranteed. WFG also charges a one-time evaluation fee for new clients for due diligence, risk assessment and valuation. The rates of the evaluation fee range from 1% to 4% of the first loan guaranteed.

Financial Leasing

The financial leasing industry in China has a relative short history, but with strong growth. In 2009, there were 145 leasing companies in China. According to the 2013 White Clarke Global Leasing Report, by the end of 2013, 1,023 leasing companies were registered, with China being the second largest leasing market after the United States with new business volume of US $89 billion. However, the market penetration in the US is 22%, whereas in China, it is only 3.8%, which represents a significant opportunity for growth. A report by GuotaiJunan Securities, one of the top brokerage firms in China, predicts that the leasing market in China will grow to RMB 3 trillion (about US $480 billion) by 2015, a CAGR of 27%.

WFG’s financial leasing business was registered in 2009 for the purpose of providing financing through equipment leasing or equipment-purchase-lease-back services to qualified SME clients. WFG’s leasing operation has executed an aggregate of US $84.4 million leasing contracts since its establishment . But WFG’s business in financial leasing is still at an early stage of development, with significant opportunity for expansion.

104

In order to take advantage of strong growth in the leasing industry, WFG is expanding its leasing operation outside of its guarantee business. With its management team relocated to Beijing, WFG looks for leasing opportunities and clients across China rather than on a regional or local basis. WFG is currently applying two business strategies for its leasing operation: (1) focusing on a few specific industries with experience and connections, including but not limited to new energy, vehicles, education equipment, and medical devices; and (2) increasing fee revenue through advisory services.

WFG purchases the lease target (typically manufacturing equipment, but also other tangible assets including factory buildings) from the client, and takes ownership. WFG leases the target back to the client and charges rent. Upon the expiration of the lease, the client pays a nominal fee (e.g. US $1) to purchase the lease target and thereafter takes title and ownership of the lease target.

Typical leasing terms include:

•       Leasing Target: Equipment, or some other tangible assets including factory buildings

•       Typical leasing Terms: 3 – 5 years

•       Leasing Rate: 10 – 30% over the current bench mark lending rate of PBOC

•       Deposit: Based upon the client’s qualifications

•       Transaction Fee: Based upon the client’s qualifications

•       Advisory Fee: Based upon the services provided to clients

•       Lease Payment Term: Quarterly or semi-annually

Financial Advisory and Agency Services

WFG also provides tailor-made financial consultancy services to clients by entering into consultancy services agreements. WFG may, at the customers’ request, provide (1) consultancy services alone, or (2) consultancy services together with financial guarantee services or financial leasing. WFG typically proposes customized methods of financing to customers according to their needs and circumstances and then assists customers to apply for financing. WFG may introduce customers to the guarantee services depending on individual circumstances and if customers satisfy WFG’s requirements and risk assessment criteria. WFG may also recommend other financing methods or financial products to customers. During the term of the financial consultancy services agreement, and within the services scope prescribed in such agreement, WFG provides a variety of financial consultancy services including investigation, research, and locating the source of financing and closing of financing. WFG also provides advice on financing and cash flow planning and management to better align customers’ cash generation activities with their required repayment schedule, thereby improving their liquidity and reducing their default risk.

Most customers for financial consultancy services are SMEs. Many SMEs in China, due to their size of operation, lack experienced staff in handling loan applications, and may not be familiar with compliance matters including relevant rules and regulations or lending bank’s requirements. With WFG’s established cooperation with lending banks, experience in the financial services field and understanding of the requirements of lending banks, market trends as well as financial products offerings in the market, WFG is able to provide all-round financial consultancy services to customers. In addition, WFG financial consultancy services provides an attractive opportunity for to expand and diversify WFG’s business and client base.

Under certain circumstances, WFG could also act as a dealer for other financing leasing companies, by providing short-term bridge loans (usually 90 days) against the leasing contracts and leasing receivables of these leasing company borrowers; and in the mean time, WFG would achieve the same type of bridge loan from other financial institutions at a discounted rate, with the above leasing contract and leasing receivables. Typically, the above processes occur simultaneously; therefore, WFG’s resell risk is largely mitigated. In very rare cases, if the leasing borrowers are in default, WFG will have to use its principal capital to repay the bridge loan to the financial institutions, and hold the leasing contracts and leasing receivables. Therefore, WFG is very careful in selecting these types of transactions, and only accepts a limited number of transactions of this nature.

Provision of financial consultancy and agency services is within the scope of WFG’s business license.

WFG’s Risk Management

Risk management is integral to the success of WFG’s business. WFG’s risk operation model is based upon a “Trusted Business Circle” concept. China has not yet developed sophisticated credit databases or credit reporting structures, which means that decisions to lend to Chinese SMEs frequently involve reliance on company-provided information which is difficult to independently verify. WFG’s Trusted Business Circle concept involves identifying potential credit-worthy customers through their ongoing participation in an existing supply chain or other relationship with an existing core customer. The Trusted Business Circle is embedded into each customer’s ongoing business activity, forming an ecosystem around that existing business activity. The Trusted Business Circle contains core enterprises’ business partners, transaction partners, lending banks, major shareholders’ friends circle, etc., which provides an opportunity for information verification and cross-referencing and some protection from default as new customers will want to preserve their relationships within the Trusted Business Circle. The system can be scaled as each new participant creates its own Trusted Business Circle.

Principal of WFG’s Risk Management

WFG’s “Trusted Business Circle” refers to two types of relationships: (1) “industry chain”, meaning a core enterprise surrounded by a business circle which has an industry chain upstream and downstream trading networks; and (2) “Business Connection”, meaning core enterprises’ business partners, transaction partners, lending banks, major shareholders’ friends circle, etc. which can provide cross-referenced and additional information, transactional history, and business performance regarding potential SME customers.

Typically, SMEs have a relatively high risk profile. Especially in the context of an economic downturn, SMEs have less capability to withstand cyclical challenges compared with large privately-owned companies or state-owned enterprises. In addition, the regulatory and tax frameworks for SMEs are not standardized, which creates some regulatory and tax risk exposure. SMEs also frequently have very limited credit profile and transaction data available for evaluation during the lending process.

WFG’s “Trusted Business Circle” model can, to a certain significant extent, resolve the issues inherent in SME loans, such as information asymmetry, risk control difficulties and high borrowing costs. Within WFG’s operating history, this model has proved extremely effective and efficient in risk control, and has enabled WFG to take on SME clients which would not normally have been accepted during a standard review process.

The “Industry Chain” model refers to WFG’s reliance on core industry chain enterprises to evaluate all participants of an industry chain and design customized and/or standardized financial services and products, offering integrated solutions to all enterprises within the industry chain. WFG typically targets one core enterprise in the targeted industry chain, which is either an existing trusted client of WFG or a verifiably reputable or creditworthy company, such as a state-owned enterprise. Surrounding this core enterprise, there are numbers of upstream and downstream SMEs. Through a comprehensive analysis of the information flow, capital flow and logistics among the industry chain’s participants from downstream to upstream, WFG picks qualified SMEs as clients.

The “Business Connection” model refers to WFG’s reliance on business “acquaintances” to crosscheck information to mitigate risks. For example, potential clients may be directly referred by lending banks with which WFG is already working closely. Typically, “acquaintance” banks are able to share additional information relating to those referred clients with WFG for risk assessment. Moreover, those SMEs referred by banks naturally value their relationship with the banks, and would like to maintain good standing during and after any transaction with WFG.

Business Process Risk Management

WFG has a standard business process for reviewing, processing and approving a guarantee or leasing application.

•       Application Acceptance: WFG considers whether to accept a client’s application for a guarantee or lease based upon an initial assessment of the customer’s background and purpose of the request. Typically, potential SMEs clients falling into one of WFG’s “Trusted Business Circles” will have much larger probability of acceptance.

•       Due Diligence: Typically, WFG reviews but does not fully rely on a client’s financial statements, which in China in the absence of international accounting standards are sometimes of questionable accuracy.

106

WFG likes to access first-hand information which cannot be influenced by the clients. WFG usually conducts due diligence on the following aspects:

1.     Credit History: although the credit history of SMEs is often limited, WFG will deny those clients who have any default history with a bank or other financial source;

2.     On-Site Investigation: WFG determines from direct sources a client’s utility usage, which can help verify their level of business activity (with quarterly monitoring of clients’ utility usage during the term of any transaction);

3.     Public Information: WFG reviews employee hiring history in the prior 6 months. Increase in SME hiring typically correlates directly with working capital requirements to expand production capacity. This information is easy to achieve by WFG from governmental sources;

4.     Net Worth of Controlling Party: WFG typically limits transaction value to an amount which is smaller than the net worth of any controlling party of the SME target;

5.     Reputation of the Controlling Party: Typically, the risk is less if the reputation of controlling party is good, and WFG considers their reputation as an assets;

6.     Lifestyle of Controlling Party: Lifestyle of controlling party in the past 6 months is also important. Any changes could raise an alert; and

7.     Counter-guarantee: WFG assess the quality and quantity of the above security measures to determine the extent to which a counter-guarantee is required. Similar due diligence measures and standards are applied to any counter-guarantor.

Based upon the results of the due diligence review, WFG’s project manager prepares and submits a credit evaluation report for internal review and approval.

•       Signing, Closing and Auction Agreements: After internal authorization procedures have been approved, WFG will proceed with signing and closing. At closing, WFG signs a pre-authorized auction agreement with any counter-guarantor and the client company pursuant to which, in the event of a default, pledged collateral and/or other specified assets can be sold at auction immediately, at WFG’s discretion.

•       Portfolio Management: In cases where heightened risk is detected in the guarantee business, such as material changes to the customer’s business or difficulties in repaying the underlying financing, WFG’s risk management team steps in and participates in any loan modification and related discussions. If a customer defaults, WFG proceeds with the collection process, through which WFG seeks repayment of any defaulted payment which is covered under the guarantee.

•       Collection: WFG has a standard collection procedure in its credit guarantee and financial leasing businesses. WFG initiates the collection process when it covers defaulted payments or a customer defaults on the leasing facility WFG grantees. WFG’s business team and risk management team negotiate the terms of a repayment plan with the defaulting customer and enter into a repayment agreement with such defaulting customer. If the defaulting customer fails to make full repayment according to the repayment plan or WFG is unable to reach an agreement with the defaulting customer regarding the repayment plan, WFG approaches the third party counter-guarantors regarding the payment of the loan (including default payment receivables) or, upon approval from the Risk Management Department at the group level, may take necessary legal action, or directly put counter-guarantee assets in auction.

Operational Risk Management

Operational risk is the risk resulting from inadequate or failed internal controls and systems, human error or external events. WFG considers operational risk to be one of the major risks in the business sector and believes that this inherent risk can be controlled or mitigated through adequate and comprehensive operational policies and procedures. WFG has applied the following measures:

•       Established a vertical risk management system to ensure the independence of its risk management;

107

•       Continuously improves operational procedures and internal control systems, and utilizes IT systems to monitor and control the performance of each procedure. In particular, WFG has adopted and have strictly implemented measures to prevent and detect potential employee fraud, such as two-person investigation teams, segregation of business team and credit review team, multiple approval layers, onsite visits and inspection, and interviews conducted by our high-level managers with the owner or management of the borrowers;

•       To seek proper damages and pursue legal proceedings, if necessary, if any misconduct by an employee is discovered; and

•       Continuously provides ethical education to all employees.

WFG’s SME Clients and Clients’ Expansion Strategy

Clients

Most of WFG’s existing clients are SMEs located in Jinzhong, Shanxi Province. WFG developed several large customers in 2014. During March 2014 to March 2015, WFG provided guarantee service for aggregated $58.1 million (RMB360 million) of loans as well as related financial advisory services to one of these clients and provided guarantee service for an aggregate of $32.2 million (RMB200 million) worth of loans as well as related financial advisory services to the other client.

As of March 31, 2015, no customers accounted for over 10% of WFG’s total outstanding guaranteed loans.

As of June 30, 2014, other than the top two clients referred to above, which accounted for 31.8% and 17.6% of WFG’s total outstanding guaranteed loans, respectively, no customer accounted over 10% of WFG’s total outstanding guaranteed loans.

As of June 30, 2013, no single customers accounted over 10% of WFG’s total outstanding guaranteed loans.

For the nine months ended March 31, 2015, other than the top two clients referred to above, which accounted for 22.5% and 16.5% of the gross revenue of WFG respectively, no customer accounted for over 10% of gross revenue. For the nine months ended March 31, 2014, no single customer accounted for over 10% of gross revenue.

For the year ended June 30, 2014, other than these top two clients referred to above, which accounted for 11% and 16% of the gross revenue of WFG respectively, no customer accounted for over 10% of gross revenue. For the year ended June 30, 2013, no single customers accounted for over 10% of the gross revenue.

Client Expansion Strategy

WFG’s principal client expansion strategies are through referrals and existing clients.

Referrals inside WFG’s “Business Connection” network . WFG maintains good relationships with a wide array of business entities, including lending banks as well as past or existing SME clients. Some potential clients were referred by the lending banks which have existing cooperation relationships with WFG. From time to time, some of WFG’s potential clients approach it through past or existing clients. Referrals are not subject to any referral fees or rebate arrangements between WFG and its clients or lending banks.

Transaction partners inside the “Industry Chain” network . WFG identifies well-qualified clients through past or existing clients as trusted members and core enterprises of each industry chain in WFG’s network. WFG approaches the supplier companies of these core enterprises as its potential target clients. As an additional security component, WFG sometimes provides guarantees supported by supplier companies’ accounts receivables where the obligor is a core enterprise customer. Through intervention by WSG with its existing trusted core enterprise, the supplier SME might receive faster turn-around on cash as working capital, thereby mitigating the risk to WFG. In addition to WFG’s existing trusted SME clients, WFG looks to well-regarded state-owned enterprises or large private companies as potential core enterprise candidates.

108

Employees

Overview

WFG, a British Virgin Island holding company with business operations in China, is a leading and integrated lending solution provider mainly serving small-and-medium sized enterprises (SMEs) in Jinzhong City, Shanxi Province and Beijing, China. WFG is currently providing two financial products and one supplementary service:

•       Financial Guarantees: WFG acts as a guarantor both to access and share credit risks and to facilitate financing arrangements between SMEs and banks, it will repay principal, interest and fees and expenses related to the guaranteed loan in the event that a customer defaults;

•       Financial Leasing (or Capital Leasing): WFG provides direct equipment leasing or purchase-lease-back services to SMEs, to satisfy SMEs’ cash flow needs;

•       Financing advisory: WFG structures suitable financing solutions for SME clients based upon their needs and qualifications, designed to help SMEs save tax, lower financing cost and provide other benefits.

WFG’s financial guarantee business was founded in 2006, and is currently one of the top 10 financing guarantee operations in Shanxi Province in terms of registered capital (Source: State Administration of Industry and Commerce). WFG typically provided a one-year term of guarantee for the customers’ loans and the guarantee scope typically covered the principle amount and interest. Guarantee fee, which is calculated with reference to the principle amount, annual guarantee fee rate and the term of the guarantee, ranged from 3% to 7.2%. WFG increased its capital contribution of approximately $165 million in March and June 2014 in order to expand its business development. As of March 31, 2015, June 30, 2014 and June 30, 2013, the outstanding guarantee balance was $88.3 million, $182.7 million and $87.1 million, respectively. The increase in outstanding guarantee balance at June 30, 2014, compared to June 30, 2013 was primarily due to the rapid business expansion after the capital contribution. The decrease in outstanding guarantee balance at March 31, 2015, compared to June 30, 2014 was primarily attributable to the combined result of expiration of the guarantee contracts of the two largest customers, which accounted for approximately 49.4% of WFG’s total outstanding guaranteed loans as of June 30, 2014.

Most of WFG’s existing clients are SMEs located in Jinzhong, Shanxi Province. WFG developed several new large customers in 2014. WFG’s two largest customers accounted for the following:

•       During March 2014 to March 2015, WFG provided guarantee services for an aggregate of $58.1 million (RMB360 million) of loans as well as related financial advisory services to the largest customer, and provided guarantee services for an aggregate of $32.2 million (RMB200 million) of loans as well as related financial advisory services to the other largest customer.

•       The largest two customers accounted for 31.8% and 17.6% of WFG’s total outstanding guaranteed loans as of June 30, 2014. Except for these two customers, no customer accounted for over 10% of the total WFG’s total outstanding guaranteed loans as of June 30, 2014. No single customers accounted over 10% of WFG’s total outstanding guaranteed loans as of March 31, 2015 and June 30, 2013.

•       The largest two customers accounted for 22.5% and 16.5% of WFG’s gross revenue for the nine months ended March 31, 2015, and accounted for 11% and 16% for the year ended June 30, 2014. Other than these two customers, no customer accounted for over 10% of WFG’s gross revenue for the six months ended March 31, 2015 and for the year ended June 30, 2014. No single customers accounted over 10% of WFG’s gross revenue for the six months ended March 31, 2014 and for the year ended June 30, 2013.

•       All these loans have been repaid in full, and the guarantee obligations were terminated prior to March 31, 2015.

WFG financial leasing operation was founded in 2009, derived from the guarantee business, and became an alternative financing solution for those SME clients with unencumbered valuable equipment or other assets. As a supplemental financing solution to clients of WFG’s guarantee service, most of the customers of the financial leasing segment were introduced through the financial guarantee business. WFG’s leasing operation has executed an aggregate of US $84.4 million leasing contracts since its establishment . The balance of net investment in direct financing leases was $58.9 million, $23.1 million and $27.2 million as of March 31, 2015, June 30, 2014 and June 30, 2013, respectively. However, WFG’s financial leasing is still in an early development stage, with significant opportunity for expansion.

WFG makes short term investments in assets management products issued by banks and financial institutions with original maturities of one year to three years but could be redeemed at any time. Annualized interest rates of the short-term investments ranged from 6.6% to15% and the balance was $145.4 million, $142.9 million and $1.6 million on March 31, 2014, June 30, 2014 and June 30, 2013, respectively.

Credit risks, including customer defaults from the guarantee business and impairment losses on the investment in financial leases, are inherent in WFG’s principal business. WFG’s credit evaluation and risk management system was developed based upon its extensive experience in serving SMEs including the microenterprise sector and allows it to effectively conduct its guarantee and leasing business with a very low default rate. WFG’s risk control system, based upon its “Trusted Business Circle” of core enterprises, has proved very practical and efficient given the limitations in the early-stage current credit system in China. WFG’s default rate was 0.5% and 0.0% in its guarantee business for the nine months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and it was 0.4% and 0.5% in its guarantee business for the years ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. During these periods there were several financial leasing contracts outstanding. The impaired losses of WFG’s lease receivables were immaterial for the nine months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, and for the years ended June 30, 2014 and 2013.

WFG’s net revenue , which consists primarily of guarantee commissions, direct financing lease interest income, and financial advisory and lease agency income, was $11,602,417 for the nine months ended March 31, 2015, representing an increase of $6,110,104 or 111.2% increase from $5,492,313 for the nine months ended March 31, 2014. Interest on short-term investments was $13,333,364 for the nine months ended March 31, 2015, representing an increase of $12,794,555 from $538,809 for the nine months ended March 31, 2014.

Key Factors that Affect Operating Results

Our operating subsidiaries are incorporated, and our operations and assets are primarily located, in the PRC. Accordingly, our results of operations, financial condition and prospects are affected by China’s economic and regulation conditions in the following factors: (a) an economic downturn in China or any regional market in China; (b) economic policies and initiatives undertaken by the PRC government; (c) changes in the PRC or regional business or regulatory environment affecting the SME and microenterprise sector; (e) changes to prevailing market interest rates; (f) a higher rate of bankruptcy; and (f) the deterioration of the creditworthiness of SMEs and microenterprises in general. Unfavorable changes could affect demand for the services that we provide and could materially and adversely affect the results of operations. Although WFG has generally benefited from China’s economic growth and the policies to encourage lending to SMEs, WFG is also affected by the complexity, uncertainties and changes in the PRC economic conditions and regulations governing the non-banking financial industry.

WFG’s results of operations are also affected by the provision for guarantee losses and impairment allowance for the investment in financial leases which are a noncash item and represent an assessment of the risk of future guarantee losses

113

and impairment losses. The amount of provisions or allowances has been recorded based on management’s assessment. WFG may increase or decrease the allowance for guarantee losses and impairment losses for investment in financial leases based on any such change of economic conditions and the change of management’s assessment. Any change in the allowance for guarantee or loan losses would have an effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

WFG holds a significant amount of short-term investments in assets management products issued by banks and financial institutions, including government bonds, corporate bonds and central bank notes. The interest income on these assets highly depends on market interest rate in the market of investment products especially government bonds and corporate bonds, and the management ability of the asset management companies. Any changes on the market conditions will affect WFG’s interest income from those investments and then the financial results.

The increase was mainly attributable to expansion of the guarantee business in Shanxi Province linked to the increased capital contribution in March and June 2014. The average guarantee balance increased from $47.5 million for the year ended June 30, 213 to $134.8 million for the year ended June 30, 2014.

Financial advisory and lease agency income increased by $0.8 million or 1467.2% to $0.9 million for the year ended June 30, 2014, compared to $0.05 million for the year ended in June 30, 2013. The increase was primarily due to the expansion of advisory services provided to its customers and the development of guarantee services.

Non-interest income

Interest on short-term investments

Interest on short-term investments increased by $1.5 million or 1675.6% to $1.6 million for the year ended June 30, 2014, compared to $0.1 million for the year ended June 30, 2013. The increase was primarily attributable to the increase in investment in assets management products which resulted from WFG’s capital increase of $165 million in March and June 2014. The average balance of short-term investments increased from $1.6 million for the year ended June 30, 2013 to $13.5 million for the year ended June 30, 2014.

Non-interest expenses

Non-interest expenses mainly consisted of business tax and surcharges, salary and benefits for employees, office rental expenses, traveling costs, entertainment expenses, depreciation of equipment, professional fees and office supplies. Non-interest expenses increased by $0.5 million or 38.3% to $1.7 million for the year ended June 30, 2014, compared to $1.2 million for the year ended June 30, 2013. The increase was primarily attributable to the increase in traveling costs, entertainment expenses and depreciation expenses along with WFG’s business expansion.

119

Income taxes

The income tax rate of WFG’s PRC subsidiaries is 25% pursuant to the Enterprise Income Tax (“EIT”) Law of the PRC. According to the Tax Regulation Caishui [2012] No. 25 issued by Ministry of Finance of the People’s Republic of China, credit guarantee institutions for SMEs are subject to pre-tax deduction for the provision of default losses equal to 1% of the outstanding guarantee balance, and 50% of guarantee income in current year which would be reversed in the next year. According to Tax Regulation Caishui [2008] No.1, The income from investment in assets management products is subject to a tax-exemption.

Income taxes increased by $1.2 million or 143.6% to $2.0 million for the year ended June 30, 2014, compared to $0.8 million for the year ended June 30, 2013. The increase was primarily attributable to the increase in income before taxes excluding the interest on short-term investments which was tax-exempt.

Net income

As a result of the above, net income increased by $5.0 million or 204.3% to $7.5 million for the year ended June 30, 2014, compared to $2.5 million for the year ended June 30, 2013.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Basis of presentation

The accompanying combined financial statements have been presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The accompanying combined balance sheets as of December 31, 2014, June 30, 2014 and 2013 and the related combined statements of income and comprehensive income, changes in owners’ equity and cash flows for the years ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 and the six months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 include those of Jinshang Leasing, Dongsheng Guarantee and its subsidiary Tianjin Jiaming, and Jinchen Agriculture (collectively the “Companies”).

Combined financial statements of companies under common control

According to ASC 810-10, the financial statements of the Companies are combined because of common control. Jinshang Leasing, Dongsheng Guarantee and Jinchen Agriculture are commonly controlled by the same ultimateowner Mr. Wang Hong. And the Companies are engaged in the business of the providing financial services to customers in the need of financing. All significant intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated on combination.

Use of estimates

Significant accounting estimates reflected in the financial statements include: (i) the allowance for doubtful receivables; (ii) estimates of losses on unexpired contracts and financial guarantee service contracts; (iii)accrual of estimated liabilities; (iv) useful lives of long-lived assets; (v) the impairment of long-lived assets; (vi) the valuation allowance of deferred tax assets; and (vii) contingencies.

Critical accounting policies are those that reflect significant judgments or uncertainties and potentially result in materially different results under different assumptions and conditions. The critical accounting policies are restricted cash, financial guarantee service contracts, net investment in capital lease, revenue recognition, property and equipment, foreign currency translation, income taxes. For a description of all of WFG’s significant accounting policies, see Note 2 to WFG’s consolidated financial statements appearing elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash represents cash pledged with banks as guarantor for the guarantee business customers. The banks providing loans to the Companies’ guarantee service customers generally require the Companies, as the guarantor of the loans, to pledge a cash deposit of 10% to 20% of the guaranteed amount to an escrow account and is restricted from use. The deposits are released after the guaranteed bank loans are paid off and the Companies’ guarantee obligation expires which is usually within 12 months.

120

Short-term investments

Investments in non-marketable asset management products issued by banks and financial institutions (the issuers) with original maturities of one year to five years but redeemable or transferrable at any time are classified as short-term investments under cost method. The Company carries the cost method investments at cost and only adjusts for other-than-temporary impairment and distributions of earnings. Management regularly evaluates the impairment of the cost method investments at individual security level. If the fair value of an investment is less than its amortized cost basis at the balance sheet date of the report period for which impairment is assessment, management will determine whether the decline in fair value is temporary or permanent. If the decline in fair value is other than temporary, the cost basis of the individual security is written down to fair value as a new cost basis and the amount of the write-down is included in current earnings. There is no impairment noted for each report period presented herein.

Interest income from short-term investment is recognized when the Companies’ right to receive payment is established. Accrued but non-received interest income is recorded as interest receivable in unaudited consolidated balance sheets.

Financial guarantee service contract

Financial guarantee service contract provides guaranty which protects the holder of a debt obligation against non-payment when due. Pursuant to such guarantee, Dongsheng Guarantee makes payment if the obligor fails in making payment when due. If the debtor defaults, the creditor would perform a direct claim on the guarantor. The financial guarantee service contract is classified as direct guarantee of indebtedness

The contract amounts reflect the extent of involvement the Company has in the guarantee transaction and also represents Dongsheng Guarantee’s maximum exposure to credit loss. Dongsheng Guarantee is a party to financial instrument with off-balance-sheet in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers.

Guarantee paid on behalf of guarantee service customers

As guarantor of guarantee service customers’ loans from banks and financial institutions, DongshengGuarantee is obligated to repay the loans to banks or financial institutions for the unpaid principals and interests when a customer defaults the loans. The repayment on behalf of guarantee service customers was recorded as guarantee paid on behalf of guarantee service customers in the combined balance sheets. As of March 31, 2015, June 30, 2014 and 2013, uncollected guarantee paid on behalf of guarantee service customers from guarantee service customerson whose behalf Dongsheng Guarantee repaid the loans were $715,243, $518,935 and $234,601, respectively.

The collectability of guarantee paid on behalf of guarantee service customers and the possible losses was assessed and recorded as part of the “Provision for Guarantee Losses” mentioned below. Dongsheng Guarantee reflects possible uncollectible amounts as an accrued liability under the heading “Allowance on financial guarantee services” on the balance sheets, and accrues a “Provision on financial guarantee services” against the income of commissions and fees on guarantee services reserve. When a payment on behalf of guarantee service customer is deemed uncollectible under certain circumstances, such as the bankruptcy of the customer or significant damage of the colletaral, the balance is written off from both “Guarantee paid on behalf of guarantee service customers” and “Allowance on financial guarantee services”. $0 and $235,930 was written-off during the nine months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. $236,010 and $0 was written-off during the years ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Amounts recovered from guarantee service customers related to amounts Dongsheng Guarantee has paid on their behalf and would be deducted from “Guarantee paid on behalf of guarantee service customers” and allowance made in previous periods for the possible loss from this payment on behalf of this customer is reversed as “reversal of provision on financial guarantee service”.

Provision for Guarantee Losses

A provision for possible loss to be absorbed by Dongsheng Guarantee for the financial guarantee it provides is recorded as an accrued liability when the guarantees are made and recorded as “Allowance on financial guarantee services” on the combined balance sheets. This liability represents probable losses and is increased or decreased by accruing an “Provision on financial guarantee services” against the income of commissions and fees on guarantee services reserve.

This is done throughout the life of the guarantee, as necessary when additional relevant information becomes available. The methodology used to the liability for possible guarantee loss considers the guarantee contract amount

121

and a variety of factors, which include, depending on the counterparty, latest financial position and performance of the borrowers, actual defaults, estimated future defaults, historical loss experience, estimated value of collaterals or guarantees the costumers or third parties offered, and other economic conditions such as the economy trend of the area and the country. The estimates are based upon currently available information.

When determining the amount to be recognized in respect of liabilities arising from our guarantee business, we estimate the provision based on considering the guarantee contract amount and a variety of factors, which include, dependence on the counterparty, latest financial position and performance of the customers, actual defaults, estimated future defaults, historical loss experience, estimated value of collateral or guarantees the customers or third parties offered, and other economic conditions such as the economic trend of the area and the country. The estimates are based upon currently available information. It is possible that the prior experience and default history are not indicative of future loss on the guarantee issued. Any increase or decrease in the provision would affect income statement in future years.

Dongsheng Guarantee estimates the probably loss to be 1% of the guarantee contract amount balance and made a reversal for possible credit risk of its guarantee in the amount of $955,625 for the nine months ended March 31, 2015, and made a provision of $1,183,605 for the nine months ended March 31, 2014, respectively. Dongsheng Guarantee made a provision for possible credit risk of its guarantee in the amount of $1,190,387 and $778,594 for the years ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. $0 and $235,930 was written-off during the six months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. $236,010 and $0 was written-off during the years ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

WFG performs quarterly reviews on the current status of the payment/performance risk of the outstanding guarantee contracts, by evaluating a variety of factors, which include,dependence on the counter party, latest financial position and performance of the customers, actual defaults, estimated future defaults, historical loss experience, estimated value of collaterals or guarantees the costumers or third parties offered, and other economic conditions such as the economic trend of the area and the country. In cases where heightened risk is detected in the guarantee business that shows the customer has difficulties in repaying the underlying financing, such as default of interest payment, material changes to the customer’s business, deterioration of financial conditions and cash flow support, WFG would classify the contracts as “abnormal contracts”; otherwise the contracts would be classified as “normal contracts”. For abnormal contracts, WFG would negotiate with the customer regarding any improvement or remediation measures including an improvement plan for cash flow management, third-party support and extension plans and implement close supervision on value and status of the collaterals. Additional allowance for guarantee loss would be provided if WFG estimates the guarantee paid on behalf of the guarantee customer would not be fully recovered.

The risk classification of outstanding guarantee contracts is as follows:

Collateral held for the guarantee

Depending on the results of WFG’s evaluation of the borrower’s credit, Dongsheng Guarantee may require the borrower and/or counter-guarantors to post collateral, primarily land use rights and building ownership and to a lesser extent, accounts receivable and equity interests. Usually, the collateral would have the value that can cover over 100% of the amount of the guarantee loans. The Company reviews the status and value of the collateral as one of the factors while determining the provision of guarantee losses. The value of the collateral is not recorded in the financial statements, for it is not the assets or liabilities of the company. The value of the collateral held for the outstanding guarantee loans was approximately $129 million, $265 million and $121 million as of March 31, 2015, June 30, 2014 and June 30, 2013, respectively.

Net investment in direct financing lease

Leases contracts Jinshang Leasing entered with finance lease customers transfer substantially all the rewards and risks of ownership of the leased assets to the customers, other than legal title before the expiration, are accounted for as direct financing leases in accordance to ASC 840-10-25 and ASC 840-40-25. The transactions were categorized as direct financing leases. At the inception of a transaction, the cost of the leased property is capitalized at the present value of the minimum lease payment receivables and the unguaranteed residual value of the property at the end of

122

the lease. The difference between the sum of the minimum lease payment receivables, the unguaranteed residual value and the cost of the leased property is recognized as unearned income. Unearned income is recognized over the period of the lease using the effective interest rate method.

Net investment in direct financing leases is recorded at net realizable value consisting of minimum lease payments to be received less allowance for uncollectibles, as needed, and less the unearned income. The allowance for lease payment receivable losses is maintained at a level considered adequate to provide for losses that can be reasonably anticipated. Management performs a quarterly evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance. The allowance is based on Jinshang Leasing’s loss history, known and inherent risks in the transactions, adverse situations that may affect the lessee’s ability to repay, the estimated value of any underlying asset, current economic conditions and other relevant factors. This evaluation is inherently subjective, as it requires material estimates that may be susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available. While management uses the best information available upon which to base estimates, future adjustments to the allowance may be necessary if economic conditions differ substantially from the assumptions used for the purposes of analysis. Jinshang Leasing provides “Specific Allowance” for the lease payment receivable of lease transactions if any specific collectivity risk identified, and a “General Allowance”, based on total minimum lease payment receivable balance of those transactions with no specific risk identified, to be used to cover unidentified probable loss. The General Allowance is set to be 1% of total unidentified lease receivable balance.

The General Allowance Jinshang Leasing provided as of March 31, 2015 and June 30, 2014 was $644,267 and $229,808, respectively; and Specific Allowance was $0 and $1,008,876, respectively. Jinshang Leasing made $411,598 and $199,307 provision for General Allowance during the nine months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. No provision was made for Specific Allowance during the nine months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, and $1,011,077 minimum lease payment receivable was written off against Specific Allowance during the nine months ended March 31, 2015. No provision was made for minimum lease payment receivable was written off against General Allowance during the nine months ended March 31, 2014. The General Allowance Jinshang Leasing provided as of June 30, 2014 and 2013 was $229,809 and $98,944, respectively; and Specific Allowance was $1,008,876 and $917,892, respectively.

Revenue recognition

Revenue is recognized when there are probable economic benefits to the Companies and when the revenue can be measured reliably, on the following:

Commission income and evaluation income on guarantee service

Commission income on guarantee service is recognized when guarantee contracts have been made whereby the related guarantee obligation has been accepted, the economic benefits associated with the guarantee contracts will probably flow in, and the amount of revenue associated with guarantee contracts can be measured reliably. Commission is determined based on the total agreed fee in the guarantee contracts, recognized in full at inception and records as unearned income and is recognized as commission in the income statement over the period of guarantee at straight-line method. The agreed commission is generally 3% – 7.2% of the guaranteed amount for 12 months which represented the fair value of non-contingent guarantee liability at the inception of the guarantee.

Dongsheng Guarantee charges the financial guarantee customers a one-time fee for the necessary evaluation Dongsheng Guarantee performed on the customers’ financial ability to apply for loans from banks and financial institutions. The evaluation income was recognized upon the completion of the evaluation.

Direct financing lease interest income

Direct financing lease interest income is on an accrual basis using the effective interest method over the whole period of the lease by applying the rate that exactly discounts the estimated future minimum lease payment receivables through the period of the lease to the net investment of the direct financing lease at the inception.

The accrual of interest income on leases will be discontinued when the customer becomes 90 (ninety) days or more past due on its lease or loan payments with the Company, unless the Company believes the interest is otherwise recoverable. Leases may be placed on non-accrual earlier if the Company has significant doubt about the ability of the customer to meet its lease obligations, as evidenced by consistent delinquency, deterioration in the customer’s financial condition or other relevant factors. Payments received while on non-accrual are applied to reduce the Company’s recorded value. The Company will resume accruing the interest income when the Company determines

123

the interest becomes recoverable again, for example the customer resumes payment of the previous interests, and shows material improvement of performance and financial position.

Financial advisory and lease agency income

Jinshang Leasing and Dongsheng Guarantee provide financing solutions to customers and received advisory fee as compensation. The advisory fees are recognized as income during the service period along with the completion of service obligation.

As a licensed finance lease company, Jinshang Leasing acts as agent in the finance lease transactions between other finance lessors and lessees. Jinshang Leasing takes neither lessor’s nor lessee’s benefit or obligation in these transactions, and charges agency fee only. The lease agency income is recognized on a straight-line method over the lease period.

Jinshang Leasing acts as financing agencies between other financial leasing companies who need capital and financial institutions who are willing to provide capital. Other financial leasing companies factoring their rights to collect capital lease receivables from their lessees to Jinshang Leasing to obtain capitals from Jinshang Leasing, and Jinshang Leasing factoring its rights to collect debts from these financial lease companies to other financial institutions to finance a portion of the capital provided to other financial lease companies. All the factorings in these transactions were with recourse rights. Financial agency income that Jinshang Leasing earned from the transactions was accrued monthly in accordance with their contractual terms as net of interest income on loans to other financial leasing companies and interest cost on loans from financial institutions.

Property and equipment

Plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using astraight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets with 3% – 5% salvage value. Average estimated useful lives of property and equipment are from 2 to 5 years.

The Companies eliminates the cost and related accumulated depreciation of assets sold or otherwise retired from the accounts and includes any gain or loss in the statement of income. The Companies charge maintenance, repairs and minor renewals directly to expenses as incurred; major additions and betterment to equipment are capitalized.

Impairment of long-lived assets

The Companies apply the provisions of ASC No. 360 Sub topic 10, “Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”(ASC 360- 10) issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). ASC 360-10 requires that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable through the estimated undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the assets. Whenever any such impairment exists, an impairment loss will be recognized for the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value.

The Companies test long-lived assets, including property and equipment and finite lived intangible assets, for impairment at least annually or more frequently upon the occurrence of an event or when circumstances indicate that the net carrying amount is greater than its fair value. Assets are grouped and evaluated at the lowest level for their identifiable cash flows that are largely independent of the cash flows of other groups of assets. The Companies consider historical performance and future estimated results in its evaluation of potential impairment and then compares the carrying amount of the asset to the future estimated cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset. If the carrying amount of the asset exceeds estimated expected undiscounted future cash flows, the Companies measure the amount of impairment by comparing the carrying amount of the asset to its fair value. The estimation of fair value is generally measured by discounting expected future cash flows as the rate the Companies utilize to evaluate potential investments. The Companies estimate fair value based on the information available in making whatever estimates, judgments and projections are considered necessary. There were no impairment losses on the long-lived assets for the nine months ended March, 2015 and 2014, and for the years ended June 30, 2014 and 2013.

Fair value measurements

ASC Topic 825, Financial Instruments (“Topic 825”) requires disclosure of fair value information of financial instruments, whether or not recognized in the balance sheets, for which it is practicable to estimate that value. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. In that regard, the derived fair value estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets and, in many cases, could not be realized in immediate settlement of the instruments.

124

Top ic 825 excludes certain financial instruments and all nonfinancial assets and liabilities from its disclosure requirements. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts do not represent the underlying value of the Companies.

Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

Level 2 inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the assets or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instruments.

Level 3 inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value.

As of December 31, 2014, June 30, 2014 and 2013, financial instruments of the Companies primarily comprise of cash, restricted cash, short-term investments accounts receivable, other receivable and bank loans, which were carried at cost on the consolidated balance sheets, and carrying amounts approximated their fair values because of their generally short maturities.

Foreign currency translation

The Companies’ functional currency is the Chinese Yuan, or Renminbi (“RMB”); however, the accompanying combined financial statements have been translated and presented in United States Dollars (“USD”).

For financial reporting purposes, the financial statements of the Companies prepared using RMB, are translated into the Companies’ reporting currency, USD at the exchange rates quoted by www.oanda.com . Assets and liabilities are translated using the exchange rate at each balance sheet date. Revenue and expenses are translated using average rates prevailing during each reporting period, and owners’ equity is translated at historical exchange rates. Adjustments resulting from the translation are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income in owners’ equity.

Income taxes

The Companies account for income taxes in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes.” ASC 740 requires a company to use the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes, whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences, and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion, or all of, the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.

Under ASC 740, a tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is “more likely than not” that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized on examination. For tax positions not meeting the “more likely than not” test, no tax benefit is recorded. The adoption had no material effect on the Companies’ combined financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2014.

According to the law of the People’s Republic of China on enterprise income tax and implementation regulations, small business credit guarantee institutions is allowed to deduct from taxable income the allowance for guarantee loss the follows:

(i)     Guarantee C ompensation Reserve — no more than 1% of guaranteed amount balance at the end of the current year; at the same time the Guarantee Compensation Reserve at the end of the immediate previous year should be an addition to the current year taxable income.

(ii)     Unexpired Liability Reserve — no more than 50% of the current year guarantee income; at the same time the Unexpired Liability Reserve provided in the immediate previous year should be an addition to the current year taxable income

(iii)    The actual guarantee compensation loss incurred by small business credit guarantee institutions should be a write-off of Guarantee Compensation Reserve first, and the excessive amount could be a deduction of current year taxable income.

Deductible or taxable temporary difference is generated from the difference in allowance on tax base from allowance recognized in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

125

According to the law of PRC on taxation, investment income from security funds was exempted from enterprise income tax.

Commitments and contingencies

In the normal course of business, the Companies are subject to loss contingencies, such as legal proceedings and claims arising out of its business, that cover a wide range of matters, including, among others, government investigations and tax matters. In accordance with ASC No. 450 Sub topic 20, “Loss Contingencies”, the Companies records accruals for such loss contingencies when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

WFG has funded working capital and other capital requirements primarily by equity contribution from shareholders, cash flow from operations, and bank loans. Cash is required to maintain security deposits at banks, to issue capital leases to customers, to repay debts, to make default payments, salaries, office rental expenses, income taxes and other operating expenses.

WFG’s management believes that current levels of cash and cash flows from operations will be sufficient to meet its anticipated cash needs for at least the next 12 months. However, it may need additional cash resources in the future if it experiences changed business conditions or other developments, and may also need additional cash resources in the future if it wishes to pursue opportunities for investment, acquisition, strategic cooperation or other similar actions. If it is determined that the cash requirements exceed WFG’s amounts of cash and cash equivalents on hand, WFG may seek to issue debt or equity securities or obtain a credit facility.

The following summarizes the key components of our cash flows for the nine months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014:

Independence of Directors

As a result of its ordinary shares being listed on Nasdaq following consummation of the transactions, Holdco will adhere to the rules of Nasdaq in determining whether a director is independent. The board of directors of Holdco has consulted, and will consult, with its counsel to ensure that the board’s determinations are consistent with those rules and all relevant securities and other laws and regulations regarding the independence of directors. The Nasdaq listing standards define an “independent director” as a person, other than an executive officer of a company or any other individual having a relationship which, in the opinion of the issuer’s board of directors, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. Consistent with these considerations, Sino and WFG anticipate that following the merger, Messrs. Clements, Reifler and Zhang will be the independent directors of Holdco. Holdco’s independent directors will have regularly scheduled meetings at which only independent directors are present.

Board Leadership Structure and Role in Risk Oversight

Upon consummation of the transactions, Mr. Hao will be appointed as Chairman of the Board of Holdco. In addition, Mr. Hao and Mr. Mu will be appointed as Co-Chief Executive Officers of Holdco. Holdco believes in the importance of independent oversight. Holdco will look to ensure that this oversight is truly independent and effective through a variety of means, including:

•       Having a majority of the board be considered independent.

•       At each regularly scheduled Board meeting, all independent directors will typically be scheduled to meet in an executive session without the presence of any management directors.

•       The charters for each of standing committees of the Board will require that all of the members of those committees be independent.

We believe that the combined role of Co-Chief Executive Officer and Chairman provides an appropriate balance between leadership and independent oversight.

Meetings and Committees of the Board of Directors

Upon consummation of the transactions, Holdco will establish a separately standing audit committee, nominating committee and compensation committee.

Audit Committee Information

Effective upon consummation of the transactions, Holdco will establish an audit committee comprised of Bradley Reifler, Dr. Jinxiao Zhang and Nicholas Clements, who will also serve as the chairman of the audit committee. Each of the members of the audit committee will be independent under the applicable Nasdaq listing standards. The purpose of the audit committee, as specified in the Audit Committee Charter, include, but are not limited to:

•       reviewing and discussing with management and the independent auditor the annual audited financial statements, and recommending to the board whether the audited financial statements should be included in our Form 10-K;

•       discussing with management and the independent auditor significant financial reporting issues and judgments made in connection with the preparation of our financial statements;

•       discussing with management major risk assessment and risk management policies;

•       monitoring the independence of the independent auditor;

129

•       verifying the rotation of the lead (or coordinating) audit partner having primary responsibility for the audit and the audit partner responsible for reviewing the audit as required by law;

•       reviewing and approving all related-party transactions;

•       inquiring and discussing with management our compliance with applicable laws and regulations;

•       pre-approving all audit services and permitted non-audit services to be performed by our independent auditor, including the fees and terms of the services to be performed;

•       appointing or replacing the independent auditor;

•       determining the compensation and oversight of the work of the independent auditor (including resolution of disagreements between management and the independent auditor regarding financial reporting) for the purpose of preparing or issuing an audit report or related work;

•       establishing procedures for the receipt, retention and treatment of complaints received by us regarding accounting, internal accounting controls or reports which raise material issues regarding our financial statements or accounting policies; and

•       approving reimbursement of expenses incurred by our management team in identifying potential target businesses.

Financial Experts on Audit Committee

The audit committee will at all times be composed exclusively of “independent directors,” as defined for audit committee members under the Nasdaq listing standards and the rules and regulations of the SEC, who are “financially literate,” as defined under Nasdaq’s listing standards. Nasdaq’s listing standards define “financially literate” as being able to read and understand fundamental financial statements, including a company’s balance sheet, income statement and cash flow statement. In addition, Holdco will be required to certify to Nasdaq that the committee has, and will continue to have, at least one member who has past employment experience in finance or accounting, requisite professional certification in accounting, or other comparable experience or background that results in the individual’s financial sophistication. The Board of Directors has determined that Nicholas Clements will satisfy Nasdaq’s definition of financial sophistication and also qualify as an “audit committee financial expert” as defined under rules and regulations of the SEC.

Nominating Committee Information

Effective upon consummation of the transactions, Holdco will establish a nominating committee of the board of directors comprised of Nicholas Clements, Bradley Reifler and Dr. Jingxiao Zhang. Each of the members of the nominating committee will be independent under the applicable Nasdaq listing standards. The nominating committee will be responsible for overseeing the selection of persons to be nominated to serve on Holdco’s board of directors.

Guidelines for Selecting Director Nominees

The nominating committee will consider persons identified by its members, management, stockholders, investment bankers and others. The guidelines for selecting nominees, which are specified in the nominating committee charter, generally provide that persons to be nominated:

•       should have demonstrated notable or significant achievements in business, education or public service;

•       should possess the requisite intelligence, education and experience to make a significant contribution to the board of directors and bring a range of skills, diverse perspectives and backgrounds to its deliberations; and

•       should have the highest ethical standards, a strong sense of professionalism and intense dedication to serving the interests of the stockholders.

The nominating committee will consider a number of qualifications relating to management and leadership experience, background and integrity and professionalism in evaluating a person’s candidacy for membership on the

130

board of directors. The nominating committee may require certain skills or attributes, such as financial or accounting experience, to meet specific board needs that arise from time to time and will also consider the overall experience and makeup of its members to obtain a broad and diverse mix of board members. The nominating committee will not distinguish among nominees recommended by stockholders and other persons.

Compensation Committee Information

Upon consummation of the transactions, the board of directors of Holdco will establish a compensation committee consisting of Nicholas Clements, Bradley Reifler and Dr. Jingxiao Zhang. The compensation committee’s duties, which are specified in our Compensation Committee Charter, include, but are not limited to:

•       reviewing and approving on an annual basis the corporate goals and objectives relevant to our Chief Executive Officer’s compensation, evaluating our Chief Executive Officer’s performance in light of such goals and objectives and determining and approving the remuneration (if any) of our Chief Executive Officer’s based on such evaluation;

•       reviewing and approving the compensation of all of our other executive officers;

•       reviewing our executive compensation policies and plans;

•       implementing and administering our incentive compensation equity-based remuneration plans;

•       assisting management in complying with our proxy statement and annual report disclosure requirements;

•       approving all special perquisites, special cash payments and other special compensation and benefit arrangements for our executive officers and employees;

•       if required, producing a report on executive compensation to be included in our annual proxy statement; and

•       reviewing, evaluating and recommending changes, if appropriate, to the remuneration for directors.

Sino’s initial stockholders, including its officers and directors, beneficially own 23.2% of its issued and outstanding shares of common stock as of the record date. All of the initial shares have been placed in escrow with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as escrow agent, until (A) with respect to 50% of such shares, the earlier of (i) the date on which the closing price of the Holdco ordinary shares exceeds $13.00 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period following the consummation of the transactions and (ii) the day preceding the day that is twelve months after the consummation of the acquisition and (B) with respect to the remaining 50% of such shares, the day preceding the day that is twelve months after the consummation of the transactions.

During the escrow period, the holders of these shares will not be able to sell or transfer their securities except to certain permitted transferees, in each case where the transferee agrees to the terms of the escrow agreement, but will retain all other rights as Sino’s stockholders, including, without limitation, the right to vote their shares of common stock and the right to receive cash dividends, if declared. If dividends are declared and payable in shares of common stock, such dividends will also be placed in escrow. If Sino is unable to effect a business combination and liquidate the trust account, none of its initial stockholders will receive any portion of the liquidation proceeds with respect to their initial shares.

In a private placement conducted simultaneously with the consummation of Sino’s initial public offering, Best Apex Limited, an affiliate of Mr. Hao, purchased 210,000 private units. Best Apex Limited has agreed that these units will not be sold or transferred (except to certain permitted transferees) until after Sino has completed a business combination.

In addition, Mr. Zhao, through Great Finance Holdings Limited, beneficially owns 56.5% of Sino’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock as of the record date. Because of the ownership block held by Mr. Zhao, he may be able to effectively exercise control over all matters requiring approval by Sino’s stockholders, including the election of directors and approval of significant corporate transactions other than approval of its initial business combination. Mr. Zhao is party to a letter agreement with the Issuer dated August 14, 2014. Pursuant to the letter agreement, Mr. Zhao agreed, among other things, (i) not to transfer 1,000,000 shares of common stock included in units acquired by him in the initial public offering prior to the consummation of Sino’s initial business combination, (ii) to vote such 1,000,000 shares in favor of any proposed initial business combination and (iii) not to convert any such 1,000,000 shares for cash from the trust account in connection with a stockholder vote to approve a business combination.

Security Ownership of WFG

As of the record date for the Sino special meeting, there were 30,000,100 issued and outstanding ordinary shares.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PERSON TRANSACTIONS

Sino Related Person Policy

Sino’s Code of Ethics requires Sino to avoid, wherever possible, all related party transactions that could result in actual or potential conflicts of interests, except under guidelines approved by the board of directors (or the audit committee). Related-party transactions are defined as transactions in which (1) the aggregate amount involved will or may be expected to exceed $120,000 in any calendar year, (2) Sino or any of its subsidiaries is a participant, and (3) any (a) executive officer, director or nominee for election as a director, (b) greater than 5% beneficial owner of Sino’s shares of common stock, or (c) immediate family member, of the persons referred to in clauses (a) and (b), has or will have a direct or indirect material interest (other than solely as a result of being a director or a less than 10% beneficial owner of another entity). A conflict of interest situation can arise when a person takes actions or has interests that may make it difficult to perform his or her work objectively and effectively. Conflicts of interest may also arise if a person, or a member of his or her family, receives improper personal benefits as a result of his or her position.

Sino’s audit committee, pursuant to its written charter, is responsible for reviewing and approving related-party transactions to the extent Sino enters into such transactions. The audit committee will consider all relevant factors when determining whether to approve a related party transaction, including whether the related party transaction is on terms no less favorable than terms generally available to an unaffiliated third-party under the same or similar circumstances and the extent of the related party’s interest in the transaction. No director may participate in the approval of any transaction in which he is a related party, but that director is required to provide the audit committee with all material information concerning the transaction. Additionally, Sino requires each of its directors and executive officers to complete an annual directors’ and officers’ questionnaire that elicits information about related party transactions.

These procedures are intended to determine whether any such related party transaction impairs the independence of a director or presents a conflict of interest on the part of a director, employee or officer.

Sino Related Person Transactions

In March 2014, Sino issued 1,150,000 shares of common stock to Best Apex Limited for $25,000 in cash, at a purchase price of approximately $0.02 per share, in connection with its organization.

In June 2014, Best Apex Limited transferred (i) 230,000 shares to Lodestar Investment Holdings Corporation, an entity controlled by Richard Xu, Sino’s President, (ii) 115,000 shares to True Precision Investments Limited, an entity controlled by Amy He, Sino’s Chief Financial Officer, (iii) 5,750 shares to Aimin Song, a member of Sino’s Board, and (iv) 5,750 shares to Bradley Reifler, another member of Sino’s Board, all for the same price originally paid by Best Apex Limited for such shares.

In a private placement taking place simultaneously with Sino’s initial public offering, Best Apex Limited purchased an aggregate of 210,000 Private Units at a price of $10.00 per unit ($2,100,000 in the aggregate). The Private Units are identical to the units sold in the initial public offering. However, Best Apex Limited has agreed (A) to vote its private shares in favor of any proposed initial business combination, (B) not to propose, or vote in favor of, an amendment to Sino’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation with respect to its pre-business combination activities prior to the consummation of such initial business combination, (C) not to convert any private shares into the right to receive cash from the trust account in connection with a stockholder vote to approve its proposed initial business combination or a vote to amend the provisions of Sino’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation relating to stockholders’ rights or pre-business combination activity and (D) that the private shares shall not participate in any liquidating distribution upon winding up if an initial business combination is not consummated. Best Apex Limited has also agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of the Private Units or underlying securities (except to the same permitted transferees as the insider shares and provided the transferees agree to the same terms and restrictions as the permitted transferees of the insider shares must agree to, each as described above) until the completion of an initial business combination.

The initial stockholders agreed to forfeit up to an aggregate of 150,000 of their initial shares of common stock in proportion to the portion of the overallotment option that the underwriter did not exercise. On September 24, 2014, Sino sold 80,100 units pursuant to the overallotment. Accordingly, 20,025 shares of common stock were no longer subject to forfeiture. On October 10, 2014, the overallotment expired without any of the balance being exercised. As a result, 129,975 shares held by the initial stockholders have been forfeited.

137

In order to meet Sino’s working capital needs, Mr. Hao loaned Sino $300,000 on May 29, 2015. This loan made by Mr. Hao was evidenced by a promissory note described below. The initial stockholders, officers and directors and their respective affiliates may also, but are not obligated to, loan Sino funds, from time to time or at any time, in whatever amount they deem reasonable in their sole discretion. Each loan would be evidenced by a promissory note. The notes would either be paid upon consummation of the business combination, without interest, or, at the lender’s discretion, up to $500,000 of the notes may be converted upon consummation of the business combination into additional Private Units at a price of $10.00 per unit (which, for example, would result in the holders being issued 55,000 shares of common stock if $500,000 of notes were so converted since the 50,000 rights included in the Private Units would result in the issuance of 5,000 shares of common stock upon the closing of our business combination). If Sino does not complete an initial business combination, the loans will not be repaid.

The holders of the initial shares and private units (and underlying securities) and any shares the initial stockholders, officers, directors or their affiliates may be issued in payment of working capital loans made to Sino, are entitled to registration rights. The holders of a majority of these securities are entitled to make up to two demands that Sino register such securities. The holders of the majority of the initial shares can elect to exercise these registration rights at any time commencing three months prior to the date on which these shares of common stock are to be released from escrow. The holders of a majority of the private units or shares issued in payment of working capital loans made to Sino can elect to exercise these registration rights at any time after Sino consummates a business combination. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the consummation of an initial business combination. Sino will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

As of April 15, 2014, Jianming Hao loaned to Sino an aggregate of $117,000 to cover expenses related to the initial public offering. The loan was repaid without interest upon consummation of the initial public offering.

Jianming Hao has also agreed to make available to Sino, office space in Beijing, China, at no cost to Sino.

WFG Related Person Policy and Related Person Transactions

As a privately held company, WFG was not required to maintain a Related Person Policy. Following consummation of the transactions, WFG will be subject to Holdco’s Related Person Policy described below. WFG did not have any disclosable related person transactions for the two most recent fiscal years.

Holdco Related Person Policy

Upon consummation of the transactions, Holdco will adopt a Related Person Policy that will require it (and its subsidiaries, including WFG) to avoid, wherever possible, all related party transactions that could result in actual or potential conflicts of interests, except as approved by unconflicted executives, the board of directors, or audit committee in accordance with guidelines approved by the board of directors (or the audit committee). Related-party transactions are defined as transactions in which (1) the aggregate amount involved will or may be expected to exceed $120,000 in any calendar year, (2) WFG or any of its subsidiaries is a participant, and (3) any (a) executive officer, director or nominee for election as a director, (b) greater than 5% beneficial owner of WFG’s shares of common stock, or (c) immediate family member, of the persons referred to in clauses (a) and (b), has or will have a direct or indirect material interest (other than solely as a result of being a director or a less than 10% beneficial owner of another entity). A conflict of interest situation can arise when a person takes actions or has interests that may make it difficult to perform his or her work objectively and effectively. Conflicts of interest may also arise if a person, or a member of his or her family, receives improper personal benefits as a result of his or her position.

Holdco’s audit committee, pursuant to its written charter, will be responsible for reviewing and approving related-party transactions to the extent WFG enters into such transactions. The audit committee will consider all relevant factors when determining whether to approve a related party transaction, including whether the related party transaction is on terms no less favorable than terms generally available to an unaffiliated third-party under the same or similar circumstances and the extent of the related party’s interest in the transaction. No director may participate in the approval of any transaction in which he is a related party, but that director is required to provide the audit committee with all material information concerning the transaction. Additionally, Holdco will require each of its directors and executive officers to complete an annual directors’ and officers’ questionnaire that elicits information about related party transactions.

138

These procedures are intended to determine whether any such related party transaction impairs the independence of a director or presents a conflict of interest on the part of a director, employee or officer.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires Sino directors, officers and persons owning more than 10% of Sino common stock to file reports of ownership and changes of ownership with the SEC. Based on its review of the copies of such reports furnished to Sino, or representations from certain reporting persons that no other reports were required, Sino believes that all applicable filing requirements were complied with during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, were timely filed, except for a Form 3 and Schedule 13D filed jointly by Great Finance Holdings Limited and Peiling Zhao on March 31, 2015.

139

DESCRIPTION OF HOLDCO SECURITIES

The following description of the material terms of the share capital of Holdco following the transactions includes a summary of specified provisions of the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association of Holdco that will be in effect upon completion of the transactions. This description is qualified by reference to Holdco’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association as will be in effect upon consummation of the transactions, copies of which are attached to this proxy statement/prospectus and are incorporated in this proxy statement/prospectus by reference.

General

The constitutional documents of Holdco will provide for the issuance of 100,000,000 ordinary shares, par value $.0001, and 1,000,000 preferred shares, par value $.0001.

In the merger, Holdco will issue its ordinary shares in exchange for the outstanding common stock and rights of Sino as follows:

•       each share of Sino common stock will be exchanged for one common share of Holdco, except for public shares that have been converted into a pro rata portion of Sino’s trust account; and

•       each Sino right will be exchanged for one-tenth of one ordinary share of Holdco.

This proxy statement/prospectus covers an aggregate of 5,739,135 ordinary shares to be issued by Holdco as a result of the merger. The 5,739,135 ordinary shares to be issued include 5,310,125 shares issuable in exchange for all of the outstanding shares of common stock of Sino and 429,010 shares issuable in exchange for all of the outstanding Sino rights.

In the share exchange, the holders of WFG’s capital stock will receive (1) an amount of cash remaining in Sino’s trust fund after payment of all amounts to public stockholders that exercise their conversion rights, less $5,000,000, provided that the cash consideration shall not exceed $25,000,000, and (2) a number of ordinary shares of Holdco equal to $168,000,000 less the cash consideration, divided by $10.00. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the WFG shareholders shall have the option to forego receiving any cash consideration and instead receive such consideration in additional ordinary shares of Holdco. If the WFG shareholders were to forego receiving all of the cash consideration, they would receive up to an additional 2,500,000 ordinary shares of Holdco.

Ordinary Shares

The holders of ordinary shares will be entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters to be voted on by shareholders.

There is no cumulative voting with respect to the election of directors, with the result that the holders of more than 50% of the shares voted for the election of directors can elect all of the directors.

Holders of Holdco’s ordinary shares will not have any conversion, preemptive or other subscription rights and there will be no sinking fund or redemption provisions applicable to the ordinary shares.

Preferred Shares

The amended and restated memorandum and articles of association of Holdco will authorize the issuance of 1,000,000 blank check preferred shares with such designations, rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by Holdco’s board of directors. Accordingly, Holdco’s board of directors will be empowered, without shareholder approval, to issue preferred shares with dividend, liquidation, conversion, voting or other rights which could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of ordinary shares. In addition, the preferred shares could be utilized as a method of discouraging, delaying or preventing a change in control of Holdco.

Dividends

Sino has not paid any cash dividends on its common stock to date and does not intend to pay dividends prior to the completion of the merger. The payment of dividends subsequent to the transactions will be entirely within the

140

discretion of Holdco’s then board of directors and will be contingent upon Holdco’s revenues and earnings, if any, capital requirements and general financial condition subsequent to completion of the transactions.

Holdco’s Transfer Agent

The transfer agent for Holdco’s ordinary shares is Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, 17 Battery Place, New York, New York 10004.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)

1. Description of Organization and Business Operations

Sino Mercury Acquisition Corp. (“the Company” or “Sino”) was incorporated in Delaware on March 28, 2014 as a blank check company whose objective is to acquire, through a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, recapitalization, reorganization or other similar business combination, one or more businesses or entities (a “Business Combination”). The Company’s efforts to identify a prospective target business are not limited to a particular industry or geographic region of the world although the Company is currently focusing on target businesses in China that operate in the non-traditional financial industry, including but not limited to financial leasing companies, microcredit companies and guarantors.

Wins Finance Holdings Inc. (“Holdco”) was formed as the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary in the Cayman Islands on February 17, 2015 originally under the name Wins Finance Holding Inc. On March 5, 2015, Holdco changed its name to its current name. Holdco was formed to effectuate the Merger and Share Exchange described in Note 8 below.

Financing

The registration statement for the Company’s initial public offering (“Initial Public Offering”) was declared effective on August 26, 2014. The Company consummated the Initial Public Offering of 4,000,000 units on September 2, 2014 generating gross proceeds of $40,000,000 at an offering price of $10.00 per Unit and net proceeds of approximately $37,901,000 after deducting approximately $2,099,000 of transaction costs. Simultaneously with the consummation of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated a private placement of units (“Private Units”) generating gross proceeds of $2,100,000 to an affiliate of the Chief Executive Officer of the Company.

The Company granted the underwriter in the Initial Public Offering an option to purchase up to 600,000 additional units to cover any overallotments. On September 23, 2014, the underwriter exercised a portion of its over-allotment option to the extent of 80,100 units and on September 24, 2014, the Company consummated the closing of that portion of the overallotment option (“Overallotment”). The Initial Public Offering and the Overallotment are collectively referred to as the “Offering.” The 80,100 units sold pursuant to the Overallotment were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $801,000, all of which was deposited in the Trust Account (defined below).

Trust Account

Following the closing of the Overallotment on September 24, 2014, an amount of $40,801,000 (or $10.00 per share sold to the public in the Offering) from the sale of the units in the Offering and the Private Units is being held in a trust account (“Trust Account”) and may be invested in United States bonds, treasuries or notes having a maturity of 180 days or less or in money market funds meeting the applicable conditions of Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and that invest solely in U.S. treasuries. The $40,801,000 placed into the Trust Account may not be released until the earlier of (i) the consummation of the Company’s initial Business Combination and (ii) the Company’s failure to consummate a Business Combination within the prescribed time. Placing funds in the Trust Account may not protect those funds from third party claims against the Company. Although the Company will seek to have all vendors, service providers, prospective target businesses or other entities it engages, execute agreements with the Company waiving any claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the Trust Account, there is no guarantee that such persons will execute such agreements. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer has agreed that he will be liable under certain circumstances to ensure that the proceeds in the Trust Account are not reduced by the claims of target businesses or vendors or other entities that are owed money by the Company for services rendered, contracted for or products sold to the Company. However, there can be no assurance that he will be able to satisfy those obligations should they arise. The remaining net proceeds (not held in the Trust Account) may be used to pay for business, legal and accounting due diligence on prospective acquisitions and continuing general and administrative expenses. In addition, (i) interest income on the funds held in the Trust Account can be released to the Company to pay its income and other tax obligations and (ii) interest income on the funds held in the Trust Account can be released to the Company to pay for its working capital requirements in connection with searching for and consummating a Business Combination.

1. Description of Organization and Business Operations (cont.)

Business Combination

The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Offering and Private Units, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be generally applied toward consummating a Business Combination. The Company’s Units, Common Stock and Rights are listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market (“NASDAQ”). Pursuant to the NASDAQ listing rules, the Company’s initial Business Combination must be with a target business or businesses whose collective fair market value is at least equal to 80% of the balance in the Trust Account (excluding deferred commissions and taxes payable) at the time of the execution of a definitive agreement for such Business Combination, although this may entail simultaneous acquisitions of several target businesses. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to effect a Business Combination successfully.

The Company, after signing a definitive agreement for the acquisition of a target business, is required to provide stockholders who hold shares of common stock sold in the Offering (“Public Stockholders”) with the opportunity to convert their shares (“Public Shares”) for a pro rata share of the Trust Account. However, the Company is not permitted to consummate an initial Business Combination unless it has at least $5,000,001 of net tangible assets upon close of such Business Combination. The initial stockholders have agreed that they will vote any shares they then hold in favor of any proposed Business Combination and will waive any conversion rights with respect to these shares. However, an investor in the Public Offering holding 1,000,000 Public Units has agreed that he will hold such Units sold in the Initial Public Offering through the consummation of an initial Business Combination, vote in favor of such proposed initial Business Combination and not seek conversion in connection therewith. As a result, the Company expects to meet the $5,000,001 net tangible asset requirement in order to complete its initial Business Combination.

In connection with any proposed Business Combination, the Company will seek stockholder approval of an initial Business Combination at a meeting called for such purpose at which stockholders may seek to convert their shares, regardless of whether they vote for or against the proposed Business Combination. If the Company seeks stockholder approval of an initial Business Combination, any Public Stockholder voting either for or against such proposed Business Combination will be entitled to demand that his shares of common stock be converted into a full pro rata portion of the amount then in the Trust Account (initially $10.00 per share, plus any pro rata interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company or necessary to pay its taxes). The Rights (discussed in Note 4 — Related Party Transactions) sold as part of the Units will not be entitled to vote on the proposed Business Combination and will have no conversion or liquidation rights.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Public Stockholder, together with any affiliate or other person with whom such Public Stockholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (within the meaning of Section 13 of the Securities Act of 1934, as amended), will be restricted from seeking conversion rights with respect to 20% or more of the shares of common stock sold in the Offering. A “group” will be deemed to exist if Public Stockholders (i) file a Schedule 13D or 13G indicated the presence of a group or (ii) acknowledge to the Company that they are acting, or intend to act, as a group.

Pursuant to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, if the Company does not consummate a Business Combination by September 1, 2016, it will trigger the Company’s automatic winding up, dissolution and liquidation. Such date was extended from June 1, 2016 as the Company has satisfied certain extension criteria by entering into the Merger Agreement (Note 8). If the Company is unable to consummate an initial Business Combination, each holder will receive a full pro rata portion of the amount then in the Trust Account, plus any pro rata interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company or necessary to pay any of its taxes. Holders of Rights will receive no proceeds in connection with the liquidation with respect to such rights. The Initial Stockholders and the holders of Private Units will not participate in any distribution with respect to their initial shares and Private Units, including the shares of common stock included in the Private Units.

1. Description of Organization and Business Operations (cont.)

If the Company is unable to conclude its initial Business Combination and expends all of the net proceeds of the Offering not deposited in the Trust Account, without taking into account any interest earned on the Trust Account, the Company expects that the initial per-share liquidation price shares of common stock will be $10.00. The proceeds deposited in the Trust Account could, however, become subject to claims of the Company’s creditors that are in preference to the claims of the Company’s stockholders. In addition, if the Company is forced to file a bankruptcy case or an involuntary bankruptcy case is filed against it that is not dismissed, the proceeds held in the Trust Account could be subject to applicable bankruptcy law, and may be included in its bankruptcy estate and subject to the claims of third parties with priority over the claims of the Company’s ordinary stockholders. Therefore, the actual per-share liquidation price may be less than $10.00.

Emerging Growth Company

Section 102(b)(1) of the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”) exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard.

Liquidity and Going Concern

As of June 30, 2015, the Company had $188,632 in its operating bank account and $40,804,075 in cash and securities held in the Trust Account to be used for an initial Business Combination or to repurchase or convert its common shares. As of June 30, 2015, the Company has not withdrawn from the Trust Account any interest income for its working capital and tax obligations. As of June 30, 2015, $3,075 of the amount on deposit in the Trust Account represents interest income, which was available to be withdrawn as described above. As described in Note 4 below, on May 28, 2015, to supplement our working capital needs, Jianming Hao, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, has loaned the Company $300,000.

Until consummation of its initial Business Combination, the Company will be using the funds not held in the Trust Account, plus the interest earned on the Trust Account balance (net of income, and other tax obligations) that may be released to the Company to fund its working capital requirements, to consummate such an initial Business Combination.

The Company will need to raise additional capital through loans or additional investments from its shareholders, officers, directors, or third parties to complete an initial Business Combination. None of the shareholders, officers or directors are under any obligation to advance funds to, or to invest in, the Company. Accordingly, the Company may not be able to obtain additional financing. If the Company is unable to raise additional capital, it may be required to take additional measures to conserve liquidity, which could include, but not necessarily be limited to, curtailing operations, suspending the pursuit of its business plan, and reducing overhead expenses. The Company cannot provide any assurance that new financing will be available to it on commercially acceptable terms, if at all. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiary are presented in U.S. dollars in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal accruals) considered for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2015 or any other period. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s annual report filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 3, 2015.

The Company had no activity for the period from March 28, 2014 (date of inception) to March 31, 2014. The condensed statement of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2014 has no material difference with that for the comparative period from March 28, 2014 to June 30, 2014, and is not presented separately.

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Sino and Holdco. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all the short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company did not have any cash equivalents as of June 30, 2015.

Cash and Securities Held in Trust Account

As of June 30, 2015, the assets held in Trust Account were held in qualified money market fund.

Net Loss per Common Share

The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share.” Net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. At June 30, 2015, the Company did not have any dilutive securities and other contracts that could, potentially, be exercised or converted into common stock and then share in the earnings of the Company. As a result, diluted loss per common share is the same as basic loss per common share for the period presented.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist of cash accounts in a financial institution which, at times may exceed the Federal depository insurance coverage of $250,000. The Company has not experienced losses on these accounts and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such accounts.

Fair value of Financial Instruments

The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under FASB ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the accompanying balance sheets, primarily due to their short-term nature.

F-9

SINO MERCURY ACQUISITION CORP.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (cont.)

Convertible Common Stock

All of the 4,080,100 common shares sold as part of the units in the Offering contain a conversion feature which allows for the conversion of common shares under the Company’s Liquidation or Stockholder Approval provisions. In accordance with Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) 480 “Distinguishing Liability from Equity”, such provisions not solely within the control of the Company require the security to be classified outside of permanent equity. Ordinary liquidation events, which involve the conversion and liquidation of all of the entity’s equity instruments, are excluded from the provisions of ASC 480. Although the Company did not specify a maximum conversion threshold, its charter provides that in no event will it allow conversion of Public Shares in an amount that would cause its net tangible assets (stockholders’ equity) to be less than $5,000,001. Further, an investor in the Offering holding 1,000,000 Public Units (which includes 1,000,000 shares), has agreed to hold his common shares through the consummation of an initial Business Combination, vote in favor of such proposed initial Business Combination and not seek conversion of his common shares.

The Company recognizes changes in conversion value immediately as they occur and will adjust the carrying value of the security to equal the conversion value at the end of each reporting period. Increases or decreases in the carrying amount of convertible common stock shall be affected by charges against additional paid-in capital.

Accordingly, at June 30, 2015, 3,080,100 of the 4,080,100 Public Shares were classified outside of permanent equity at its conversion value. The conversion value is equal to the pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest but less taxes payable and amounts released for working capital (approximately $10.00 per share at June 30, 2015).

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Income Taxes

The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes under ASC 740, “Income Taxes.” Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that included the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. As of June 30, 2015, a full valuation allowance has been established against the deferred tax asset.

ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. No amounts were accrued for the payment of interest and penalties at June 30, 2015. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position. The Company is subject to income tax examinations by major taxing authorities since inception.

The Company may be subject to potential examination by tax authorities in U.S. federal, states or foreign jurisdictions in the area of income taxes. These potential examinations may include questioning the timing and amount of deductions, the nexus of income among various tax jurisdictions and compliance with U.S. federal, state

or foreign tax laws. The Company’s management does not expect that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will materially change over the next twelve months.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

3. Public Offering

The Company consummated its Initial Public Offering of 4,000,000 units on September 2, 2014 generating gross proceeds of $40,000,000 and net proceeds of approximately $37,901,000 after deducting approximately $2,099,000 of transaction costs (see further description of Public Units below) and on the same date, a private placement to Best Apex Limited, an affiliate of Jianming Hao, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, of 210,000 units, generating additional proceeds of $2,100,000 (“Private Units”) (see further description of Private Units below). On September 24, 2014, the Company closed on a partial exercise of the Overallotment generating gross proceeds of $801,000. Of such proceeds, an aggregate of $40,801,000 was placed in the Company’s Trust Account. On October 10, 2014, the remaining portion of the Overallotment expired unexercised.

Public Units

On September 2, 2014, the Company sold 4,000,000 units at a price of $10.00 per unit (the “Public Units’) in the Initial Public Offering. Each Public Unit consists of one share of the Company’s common stock, $0.0001 par value per share, and one right (the “Public Rights”). Each Public Right entitles the holder to receive one-tenth (1/10) of a share of common stock on consummation of an initial Business Combination.

On September 24, 2014, the Company sold an additional 80,100 units pursuant to the Overallotment.

If the Company does not complete its Business Combination within the necessary time period described in Note 1, the Public Rights will expire and be worthless.

The Company paid an upfront underwriting discount of $1,200,000 (3.0%) of the per unit offering price to the underwriter at the closing of the Initial Public Offering, with an additional fee (the “Deferred Discount”) of 1% of the gross offering proceeds (or 4% of the gross offering proceeds from the Units sold in the over-allotment option) payable upon the Company’s completion of the Business Combination. The Deferred Discount will become payable to the underwriter from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event the Company completes its Business Combination. The underwriter is not entitled to any interest accrued on the Deferred Discount.

4. Related Party Transactions

Insider Shares

The Company issued an aggregate of 1,150,000 shares of common stock (the “Insider Shares”) for a total of $25,000 in cash, at a purchase price of approximately $0.02 share, to Best Apex Limited. In June 2014, Best Apex Limited transferred (i) 230,000 shares to Lodestar Investment Holdings Corporation, an entity controlled by Richard Xu, the Company’s President, (ii) 115,000 shares to True Precision Investments Limited, an entity controlled by Amy He, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, (iii) 5,750 shares to Aimin Song, a member of the Company’s Board, and (iv) 5,750 shares to Bradley Reifler, another member of the Company’s Board, all for the same price originally paid by Best Apex Limited for such shares. The Insider Shares are identical to the common stock included in the Public Units sold in the Public Offering except that the Insider Shares are subject to certain transfer restrictions, as described in more detail below.

4. Related Party Transactions (cont.)

All of the Insider Shares have been placed in escrow with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as escrow agent, until (1) with respect to 50% of the Insider Shares, the earlier of one year after the date of the consummation of an initial Business Combination and the date on which the closing price of the Company’s shares of common stock equals or exceeds $13.00 per share (as adjusted for share splits, share dividends, reorganizations and recapitalizations) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing after an initial Business Combination and (2) with respect to the remaining 50% of the Insider Shares, one year after the date of the consummation of an initial Business Combination, or earlier, in either case, if, subsequent to an initial Business Combination, the Company consummates a liquidation, merger, share exchange or other similar transaction which results in all of the Company’s stockholders having the right to exchange their shares for cash, securities or other property.

The Insider Shares are identical to the Public Shares. However, the initial stockholders have agreed, pursuant to written agreements with the Company, (A) to vote their Insider Shares and any Public Shares acquired in or after the Offering in favor of any proposed Business Combination, (B) not to propose, or vote in favor of, an amendment to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation with respect to its pre-Business Combination activities prior to the consummation of such a Business Combination, (C) not to convert any shares (including the Insider Shares) for cash from the Trust Account in connection with a stockholder vote to approve a proposed initial Business Combination or a vote to amend the provisions of the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation relating to stockholders’ rights or pre-Business Combination activity and (D) that the Insider Shares shall not participate in any liquidating distribution upon winding up if a Business Combination is not consummated.

Private Units

Best Apex Limited purchased from the Company an aggregate of 210,000 private units at a price of $10.00 per unit (a purchase price of $2,100,000) in a private placement that occurred simultaneously with the completion of the Offering (the “Private Units”). Each Private Unit consists of one share of the Company’s common stock, $0.0001 par value per share and one right (the “Private Right”). Each Private Right entitles the holder to receive one-tenth (1/10) of a share of common stock on consummation of an initial Business Combination. The Private Units are identical to the units sold in the Public Offering. However, Best Apex Limited has agreed (A) to vote the shares included in the Private Units in favor of any proposed Business Combination, (B) not to propose, or vote in favor of, an amendment to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation with respect to its pre-Business Combination activities prior to the consummation of such a Business Combination, (C) not to convert any shares included in the Private Units for cash from the Trust Account in connection with a stockholder vote to approve a proposed initial Business Combination or a vote to amend the provisions of Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation with respect to its pre-Business Combination activities prior to the consummation of such a Business Combination and (D) that the shares included in the Private Units shall not participate in any liquidating distribution upon winding up if a Business Combination is not consummated. Best Apex Limited has also agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of the Private Units or underlying securities (except to the same permitted transferees as the Insider Shares and provided the transferees agree to the same terms and restrictions as the permitted transferees of the Insider Shares must agree to, each as described above) until the completion of an initial Business Combination.

Registration Rights

The holders of the Insider Shares and Private Units have registration rights that require the Company to register the sale of any of the securities held by them pursuant to a registration rights agreement. The holders of these securities will be entitled to make up to two demands that the Company register such securities for sale under the Securities Act. In addition, these holders will have “piggy-back” registration rights to include their securities in other registration statements filed by the Company. The Company will bear the costs and expenses of filing any such registration statements.

4. Related Party Transactions (cont.)

Related Party Note

On April 14, 2014, the Company issued a $117,000 principal amount unsecured promissory (“Note”) to Jianming Hao, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and an affiliate of the Initial Stockholder. The Note includes $35,000 of advances made prior to the execution of the Note. This Note was non-interest bearing and payable on the earlier of April 30, 2015 or out of the proceeds from the Initial Public Offering. The Note was repaid in full on September 29, 2014.

On May 29, 2015, the Company issued a $300,000 convertible promissory note to Jianming Hao (“Lender”), to evidence a loan made by the Lender to the Company. The loan is unsecured, non-interest bearing and is payable at the consummation by the Company of a Business Combination. Upon consummation of a Business Combination, the principal balance of the note may be converted at the holder’s option, to units at a price of $10.00 per unit. The terms of the units will be identical to the units issued by the Company in its Initial Public Offering. If the Lender converts the entire principal balance of the convertible promissory note, it would receive 30,000 units (representing 33,000 shares of common stock). If a Business Combination is not consummated, the note will not be repaid by the Company and all amounts owed there under by the Company will be forgiven except to the extent that the Company had funds available to it outside of its Trust Account established in connection with the Initial Public Offering.

5. Deferred Underwriting Compensation

The Company is committed to pay the Deferred Discount of 1% of the gross offering proceeds (or 4% of the gross offering proceeds from the Units sold in the over-allotment option) of the Offering, to the underwriter upon the Company’s consummation of the initial Business Combination. The underwriter is not entitled to any interest on the Deferred Discount, and no Deferred Discount is payable to the underwriter if there is no Business Combination.

6. Trust Account

A total of $40,801,000, which includes $38,701,000 of the net proceeds from the Initial Public Offering and $2,100,000 from the sale of the Private Units, have been placed in the Trust Account. As of June 30, 2015, Interest reinvested in Trust Account is $3,075 and the balance in the Trust Account is $40,804,075.

7. Stockholders’ Equity

Preferred Shares

The Company is authorized to issue 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share with such designation, rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by the Company’s board of directors.

As of June 30, 2015, there are no shares of preferred stock issued or outstanding.

Common Stock

The Company is authorized to issue 25,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share. Holders of the Company’s common stock are entitled to one vote for each common share.

As of June 30, 2015, there were 2,230,025 shares of common stock issued and outstanding excluding 3,080,100 shares subject to possible conversion. 150,000 Insider Shares were subject to forfeiture to the extent the underwriter’s over-allotment option was not exercised in full. On September 24, 2014, the Company sold 80,100 units pursuant to the Overallotment as discussed in Notes 1 and 3. Accordingly, 20,025 shares of common stock are no longer subject to forfeiture. On October 10, 2014, the Overallotment expired without any of the balance being exercised. As a result, 129,975 Insider Shares have been forfeited.

8. Entry into an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization

On April 24, 2015, Sino entered into an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Merger Agreement”) subsequently amended on May 5, 2015 with Holdco, Wins Finance Group Limited, a British Virgin Islands international business company (“Wins”), and each of Wits Global Limited, Appelo Limited, Glowing Assets Holdings Limited and Cosmic Expert Ltd., each of which are British Virgin Islands international companies and shareholders of Wins that, collectively, own 100% of Wins’s outstanding capital and voting shares (“Wins Shareholders”). Upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (i) Sino shall merge with and into Holdco, with Holdco surviving the merger (the “Merger”), whereupon all the issued and outstanding securities of Sino shall be automatically converted into securities of Holdco as provided in the applicable provisions of the Merger Agreement and (ii) immediately following the Merger, an exchange of 100% of the ordinary shares of Wins by the Wins Shareholders for cash and ordinary shares of Holdco (the “Share Exchange” together with the Merger, the “Transactions”).

Upon consummation of the Merger, each share of Sino common stock will be exchanged for one ordinary share of Holdco (“Holdco Shares”), except that holders of shares of Sino’s common stock sold in its Initial Public Offering (“public shares”) shall be entitled to elect instead to receive a pro rata portion of Sino’s Trust Account, as provided in Sino’s charter documents; and each Sino right will be exchanged for one-tenth of a Holdco Share.

Upon consummation of the Share Exchange, the Wins Shareholders, in exchange for all of the capital stock of Wins outstanding immediately prior to the Share Exchange, will receive from Holdco:

         an amount of cash (“Cash Consideration”) equal to (a) the cash remaining in Sino’s trust fund after giving effect to the payments required to the shareholders of Sino who elect to have their shares converted to cash in accordance with the provisions of Sino’s charter documents less (b) $5,000,000; provided, however, that the Cash Consideration shall not exceed $25,000,000 in the aggregate; and

         a number of Holdco Shares to be issued in the names directed by each Wins Shareholder determined by dividing (1) $168,000,000 less the Cash Consideration, including any foregone Cash Consideration as discussed below, by (2) $10.00.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Wins Shareholders shall have the option to forego receiving any Cash Consideration and instead receive such consideration in additional Holdco Shares at $10.00 per share. If the Wins Shareholders were to forego receiving all of the cash consideration, they would receive up to an additional 2,500,000 Holdco Shares.

The Wins Shareholders will agree not to transfer the Holdco Shares they will receive as a result of the Share Exchange from the closing of the Transactions (“Closing Date”) until the day preceding the day that is twelve months after the Closing Date (subject to limited exceptions). These restrictions will end earlier than such date with respect to 50% of the shares if the closing price of the Holdco Shares exceeds $13.00 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period following the Closing Date.

To provide a fund for payment to Holdco with respect to its post-closing rights to indemnification under the Merger Agreement for breaches of representations and warranties and covenants by Wins and its subsidiaries and the Wins Shareholders, there will be placed in escrow (with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as escrow agent) an aggregate of 10% of the Holdco Shares to be received in the Stock Exchange. The escrow will be the sole remedy for Holdco for its rights to indemnification under the Merger Agreement. The shares held in escrow will be released on the earlier of (a) the 30th day after the date Holdco has filed with the SEC its Annual Report for the year ending December 31, 2016 and (b) March 31, 2017, subject to reduction based on shares cancelled for claims ultimately resolved and those still pending resolution.

Consummation of the transactions is conditioned on (i) the Sino stockholders approving the Transactions, (ii) the holders of no more than 3,080,100 of Sino’s public shares exercising their conversion rights and (iii) other certain closing conditions.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Audit Committee of the
Board of Directors and Shareholders
of Sino Mercury Acquisition Corp.

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Sino Mercury Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2014, and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the period from March 28, 2014 (inception) through December 31, 2014. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Sino Mercury Acquisition Corp., as of December 31, 2014, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the period from March 28, 2014 (inception) through December 31, 2014 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

SINO MERCURY ACQUISITION CORP.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Description of Organization and Business Operations

The Company was incorporated in Delaware on March 28, 2014 as a blank check company whose objective is to acquire, through a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, recapitalization, reorganization or other similar business combination, one or more businesses or entities (a “Business Combination”). The Company’s efforts to identify a prospective target business will not be limited to a particular industry or geographic region of the world although the Company initially intends to focus on target businesses in China that operate in the non-traditional financial industry, including but not limited to financial leasing companies, microcredit companies and guarantors.

Financing

The registration statement for the Company’s initial public offering (“Initial Public Offering”) was declared effective on August 26, 2014. The Company consummated the Initial Public Offering of 4,000,000 units on September 2, 2014 generating gross proceeds of $40,000,000 and net proceeds of approximately $37,901,000 after deducting approximately $2,099,000 of transaction costs. Simultaneously with the consummation of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated a private placement of units (“Private Units”) generating gross proceeds of $2,100,000 to the affiliate of the Chief Executive Officer of the Company.

The Company granted the underwriter an option to buy up to 600,000 additional units to cover any overallotment. On September 23, 2014, the underwriters exercised a portion of their over-allotment option to the extent of 80,100 units and on September 24, 2014, the Company consummated the closing of that portion of the overallotment option (“Overallotment”). The Initial Public Offering and the Overallotment are collectively referred to as the “Offering.” The 80,100 units sold pursuant to the Overallotment were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $801,000, all of which was deposited in the Trust Account (defined below).

Trust Account

Following the closing of the Overallotment on September 24, 2014, an amount of $40,801,000 (or $10.00 per share sold to the public in the Offering) from the sale of the units in the Offering and the Private Units is being held in a trust account (“Trust Account”) and may be invested in money market funds meeting the applicable conditions of Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and that invest solely in U.S. treasuries or United States bonds, treasuries or notes having a maturity of 180 days or less. The $40,801,000 placed into the Trust Account may not be released until the earlier of (i) the consummation of the Company’s initial Business Combination and (ii) the Company’s failure to consummate a Business Combination within the prescribed time. Placing funds in the Trust Account may not protect those funds from third party claims against the Company. Although the Company will seek to have all vendors, service providers, prospective target businesses or other entities it engages, execute agreements with the Company waiving any claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the Trust Account, there is no guarantee that such persons will execute such agreements. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer has agreed that he will be liable under certain circumstances to ensure that the proceeds in the Trust Account are not reduced by the claims of target businesses or vendors or other entities that are owed money by the Company for services rendered, contracted for or products sold to the Company. However, there can be no assurance that he will be able to satisfy those obligations should they arise. The remaining net proceeds (not held in the Trust Account) may be used to pay for business, legal and accounting due diligence on prospective acquisitions and continuing general and administrative expenses. In addition, (i) interest income on the funds held in the Trust Account can be released to the Company to pay its income and other tax obligations and (ii) interest income on the funds held in the Trust Account can be released to the Company to pay for its working capital requirements in connection with searching for a Business Combination.

Business Combination

The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Offering and Private Units, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be generally applied toward consummating a Business Combination. The Company’s Units, Common Stock and Rights are listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market (“NASDAQ”). Pursuant to the NASDAQ listing rules, the Company’s initial Business Combination

F-21

SINO MERCURY ACQUISITION CORP.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Description of Organization and Business Operations (cont.)

must be with a target business or businesses whose collective fair market value is at least equal to 80% of the balance in the Trust Account at the time of the execution of a definitive agreement for such Business Combination, although this may entail simultaneous acquisitions of several target businesses. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to effect a Business Combination successfully.

The Company, after signing a definitive agreement for the acquisition of a target business, is required to provide stockholders who hold shares of common stock sold in the Offering (“Public Stockholders”) with the opportunity to convert their shares (“Public Shares”) for a pro rata share of the Trust Account. However, the Company is not permitted to consummate an initial Business Combination unless it has at least $5,000,001 of net tangible assets upon close of such Business Combination. The initial stockholders have agreed that they will vote any shares they then hold in favor of any proposed Business Combination and will waive any conversion rights with respect to these shares. However, an investor in the Public Offering holding 1,000,000 Public Units has agreed that he will hold such Units sold in the Public Offering through the consummation of an initial Business Combination, vote in favor of such proposed initial Business Combination and not seek conversion in connection therewith. As a result, the Company expects to meet the $5,000,001 net tangible asset requirement in order to complete its initial Business Combination.

In connection with any proposed Business Combination, the Company will seek stockholder approval of an initial Business Combination at a meeting called for such purpose at which stockholders may seek to convert their shares, regardless of whether they vote for or against the proposed Business Combination. If the Company seeks stockholder approval of an initial Business Combination, any Public Stockholder voting either for or against such proposed Business Combination will be entitled to demand that his shares of common stock be converted into a full pro rata portion of the amount then in the Trust Account (initially $10.00 per share, plus any pro rata interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company or necessary to pay its taxes). The Rights (discussed in Note 4 — Related Party Transactions) sold as part of the Units will not be entitled to vote on the proposed Business Combination and will have no conversion or liquidation rights.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Public Stockholder, together with any affiliate or other person with whom such Public Stockholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (within the meaning of Section 13 of the Securities Act of 1934, as amended), will be restricted from seeking conversion rights with respect to 20% or more of the shares of shares of common stock sold in the Offering. A “group” will be deemed to exist if Public Stockholders (i) file a Schedule 13D or 13G indicated the presence of a group or (ii) acknowledge to the Company that they are acting, or intend to act, as a group.

Pursuant to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, if the Company does not consummate a Business Combination by June 1, 2016, or September 1, 2016 if certain extension criteria have been satisfied, it will trigger the Company’s automatic winding up, dissolution and liquidation. If the Company is unable to consummate an initial Business Combination, each holder will receive a full pro rata portion of the amount then in the Trust Account, plus any pro rata interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company or necessary to pay any of its taxes. Holders of Rights will receive no proceeds in connection with the liquidation with respect to such rights. The Initial Stockholders and the holders of Private Units will not participate in any distribution with respect to their initial shares and Private Units, including the shares of common stock included in the Private Units.

If the Company is unable to conclude its initial Business Combination and expends all of the net proceeds of the Offering not deposited in the Trust Account, without taking into account any interest earned on the Trust Account, the Company expects that the initial per-share liquidation price shares of common stock will be $10.00. The proceeds deposited in the Trust Account could, however, become subject to claims of the Company’s creditors that are in preference to the claims of the Company’s stockholders. In addition, if the Company is forced to file a bankruptcy case or an involuntary bankruptcy case is filed against it that is not dismissed, the proceeds held in the Trust Account could be subject to applicable bankruptcy law, and may be included in its bankruptcy estate and subject to the claims of third parties with priority over the claims of the Company’s ordinary stockholders. Therefore, the actual per-share liquidation price may be less than $10.00.

1. Description of Organization and Business Operations (cont.)

Emerging Growth Company

Section 102(b)(1) of the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”) exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying annual financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC.

Net Loss per Common Share

The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share.” Net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. At December 31, 2014, the Company did not have any dilutive securities and other contracts that could, potentially, be exercised or converted into common stock and then share in the earnings of the Company. As a result, diluted loss per common share is the same as basic loss per common share for the period presented.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist of cash accounts in a financial institution which, at times may exceed the Federal depository insurance coverage of $250,000. The Company has not experienced losses on these accounts and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such accounts.

Fair value of Financial Instruments

The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under FASB ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the accompanying balance sheets, primarily due to their short-term nature.

Offering Costs

The Company complies with the requirements of ASC 340-10-S99-1 and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) Topic 5A – “Expenses of Offering”. Offering costs consist principally of professional and registration fees incurred through the consummation of the offering that are related to the Offering and that were charged to stockholders’ equity upon the completion of the Offering. Accordingly, at December 31, 2014, offering costs totaling approximately $2,099,000 (including approximately $1,632,000 in underwriters’ fees) have been charged to stockholders’ equity.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (cont.)

Redeemable Common Stock

All of the 4,080,100 common shares sold as part of the units in the Offering contain a conversion feature which allows for the conversion of common shares under the Company’s Liquidation or Stockholder Approval provisions. In accordance with ASC 480, such provisions not solely within the control of the Company require the security to be classified outside of permanent equity. Ordinary liquidation events, which involve the redemption and liquidation of all of the entity’s equity instruments, are excluded from the provisions of ASC 480. Although the Company did not specify a maximum conversion threshold, its charter provides that in no event will it allow conversion of Public Shares in an amount that would cause its net tangible assets (stockholders’ equity) to be less than $5,000,001. Further, an investor in the Offering holding 1,000,000 Public Units (which includes 1,000,000 shares), has agreed to hold his common shares through the consummation of an initial Business Combination, vote in favor of such proposed initial Business Combination and not seek conversion of his common shares.

The Company recognizes changes in conversion value immediately as they occur and will adjust the carrying value of the security to equal the conversion value at the end of each reporting period. Increases or decreases in the carrying amount of convertible common stock shall be affected by charges against deficit accumulated during the development stage, by charges against additional paid-in capital.

Accordingly, at December 31, 2014, 3,080,100 of the 4,080,100 Public Shares were classified outside of permanent equity at its redemption value. The redemption value is equal to the pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest but less taxes payable and amounts released for working capital (approximately $10.00 per share at December 31, 2014).

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Income Taxes

The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes under ASC 740, “Income Taxes.” Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that included the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. As of December 31, 2014, a full valuation allowance has been established against the deferred tax asset.

ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. No amounts were accrued for the payment of interest and penalties at December 31, 2014. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position. The Company is subject to income tax examinations by major taxing authorities since inception.

The Company may be subject to potential examination by tax authorities in U.S. federal, states or foreign jurisdictions in the area of income taxes. These potential examinations may include questioning the timing and amount of deductions, the nexus of income among various tax jurisdictions and compliance with U.S. federal, state or foreign tax laws. The Company’s management does not expect that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will materially change over the next twelve months.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-10, “Development Stage Entities (Topic 915): Elimination of Certain Financial Reporting Requirements, Including an Amendment to Variable Interest Entities Guidance in Topic 810, Consolidation.” This ASU removes the definition of a development stage entity from the ASC, thereby removing the financial reporting distinction between development stage entities and other reporting entities from GAAP. In addition, the ASU eliminates the requirements for development stage entities to (1) present inception-to-date information in the statements of operations, cash flows, and stockholders’ equity, (2) label the financial statements as those of a development stage entity, (3) disclose a description of the development stage activities in which the entity is engaged, and (4) disclose in the first year in which the entity is no longer a development stage entity that in prior years it had been in the development stage. This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014, and interim periods therein. Early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted this ASU effective for 2014 annual report and its adoption resulted in the removal of previously required development stage disclosures.

The FASB has issued ASU No. 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern. This standard is intended to define management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an organization’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures. Under U.S. GAAP, financial statements are prepared under the presumption that the reporting organization will continue to operate as a going concern, except in limited circumstances. Financial reporting under this presumption is commonly referred to as the going concern basis of accounting. The going concern basis of accounting is critical to financial reporting because it establishes the fundamental basis for measuring and classifying assets and liabilities. Currently, U.S. GAAP lacks guidance about management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about the organization’s ability to continue as a going concern or to provide related footnote disclosures. This ASU provides guidance to an organization’s management, with principles and definitions that are intended to reduce diversity in the timing and content of disclosures that are commonly provided by organizations today in the financial statement footnotes. The amendments are effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early application is permitted for annual or interim reporting periods for which the financial statements have not previously been issued. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.

Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

3. Public Offering

The Company consummated its Initial Public Offering of 4,000,000 units on September 2, 2014 generating gross proceeds of $40,000,000 and net proceeds of approximately $37,901,000 after deducting approximately $2,099,000 of transaction costs (see further description of Public Units below) and on the same date, a private placement to Best Apex Limited, an affiliate of Jianming Hao, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, of 210,000 units, generating additional proceeds of $2,100,000 (“Private Units”) (see further description of Private Units below). On September 24, 2014, the Company closed on a partial exercise of the Overallotment generating gross proceeds of $801,000. Of such proceeds, an aggregate of $40,801,000 was placed in the Company’s trust account. On October 10, 2014, the remaining portion of the Overallotment expired unexercised.

Public Units

On September 2, 2014, the Company sold 4,000,000 units at a price of $10.00 per unit (the “Public Units’) in the Public Offering. Each Public Unit consists of one share of the Company’s common stock, $0.0001 par value per share (the “Public Shares”), and one right (the “Public Rights”). Each Public Right automatically entitles the holder to receive one-tenth (1/10) of a share of common stock on consummation of an initial Business Combination.

F-25

SINO MERCURY ACQUISITION CORP.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

3. Public Offering (cont.)

On September 24, 2014, the Company sold an additional 80,100 units pursuant to the Overallotment.

If the Company does not complete its Business Combination within the necessary time period described in Note 1, the Public Rights will expire and be worthless.

The Company paid an upfront underwriting discount of $1,200,000 (3.0%) of the per unit offering price to the underwriter at the closing of the Initial Public Offering, with an additional fee (the “Deferred Discount”) of 1% of the gross offering proceeds (or 4% of the gross offering proceeds from the Units sold in the over-allotment option) payable upon the Company’s completion of the Business Combination. The Deferred Discount will become payable to the underwriter from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event the Company completes its Business Combination. The underwriter is not entitled to any interest accrued on the Deferred Discount.

4. Related Party Transactions

Insider Shares

The Company issued an aggregate of 1,150,000 shares of common stock for a total of $25,000 in cash, at a purchase price of approximately $0.02 share, to Best Apex Limited. In June 2014, Best Apex Limited transferred (i) 230,000 shares to Lodestar Investment Holdings Corporation, an entity controlled by Richard Xu, the Company’s President, (ii) 115,000 shares to True Precision Investments Limited, an entity controlled by Amy He, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, (iii) 5,750 shares to Aimin Song, a member of the Company’s Board, and (iv) 5,750 shares to Bradley Reifler, another member of the Company’s Board, all for the same price originally paid by Best Apex Limited for such shares. The Insider Shares are identical to the common stock included in the Public Units sold in the Public Offering except that the Insider Shares are subject to certain transfer restrictions, as described in more detail below.

All of the Insider Shares have been placed in escrow with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as escrow agent, until (1) with respect to 50% of the Insider Shares, the earlier of one year after the date of the consummation of an initial Business Combination and the date on which the closing price of the Company’s shares of common stock equals or exceeds $13.00 per share (as adjusted for share splits, share dividends, reorganizations and recapitalizations) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing after an initial Business Combination and (2) with respect to the remaining 50% of the Insider Shares, one year after the date of the consummation of an initial Business Combination, or earlier, in either case, if, subsequent to an initial Business Combination, the Company consummates a liquidation, merger, share exchange or other similar transaction which results in all of the Company’s stockholders having the right to exchange their shares for cash, securities or other property.

The Insider Shares are identical to the public shares. However, the initial stockholders have agreed, pursuant to written agreements with the Company, (A) to vote their Insider Shares and any public shares acquired in or after the Offering in favor of any proposed Business Combination, (B) not to propose, or vote in favor of, an amendment to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation with respect to its pre-Business Combination activities prior to the consummation of such a Business Combination, (C) not to convert any shares (including the insider shares) for cash from the Trust Account in connection with a stockholder vote to approve a proposed initial Business Combination or a vote to amend the provisions of the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation relating to stockholders’ rights or pre-Business Combination activity and (D) that the insider shares shall not participate in any liquidating distribution upon winding up if a Business Combination is not consummated.

Private Units

Best Apex Limited has purchased from the Company an aggregate of 210,000 private units at a price of $10.00 per unit (a purchase price of $2,100,000) in a private placement that occurred simultaneously with the completion of the Offering (the “Private Units”). Each Private Unit consists of one share of the Company’s common stock, $0.0001 par value per share and one right (the “Private Right”). Each Private Right entitles Best Apex Limited to receive

4. Related Party Transactions (cont.)

one-tenth (1/10) of a share of common stock on consummation of an initial Business Combination. The Private Units are identical to the units sold in the Public Offering. However, Best Apex Limited has agreed (A) to vote the shares included in the Private Units in favor of any proposed Business Combination, (B) not to propose, or vote in favor of, an amendment to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation with respect to its pre-Business Combination activities prior to the consummation of such a Business Combination, (C) not to convert any shares included in the Private Units for cash from the trust account in connection with a stockholder vote to approve a proposed initial Business Combination or a vote to amend the provisions of Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation with respect to its pre-Business Combination activities prior to the consummation of such a Business Combination and (D) that the shares included in the Private Units shall not participate in any liquidating distribution upon winding up if a Business Combination is not consummated. Best Apex Limited has also agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of the Private Units or underlying securities (except to the same permitted transferees as the insider shares and provided the transferees agree to the same terms and restrictions as the permitted transferees of the insider shares must agree to, each as described above) until the completion of an initial Business Combination.

Registration Rights

The holders of the Insider Shares and Private Units have registration rights that require the Company to register the sale of any of the securities held by them pursuant to a registration rights agreement. The holders of these securities will be entitled to make up to two demands that the Company register such securities for sale under the Securities Act. In addition, these holders will have “piggy-back” registration rights to include their securities in other registration statements filed by the Company. The Company will bear the costs and expenses of filing any such registration statements.

Related Party Note

On April 14, 2014, the Company issued a $117,000 principal amount unsecured promissory (“Note”) to JianmingHao, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and an affiliate of the Initial Stockholder. The Note includes $35,000 of advances made prior to the execution of the Note. This Note was non-interest bearing and payable on the earlier of April 30, 2015 or out of the proceeds from the Initial Public Offering. The Note was repaid in full on September 29, 2014.

Working Capital Loans

On February 27, 2015, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer committed to loan up to an aggregate of $200,000 to the Company through the consummation of an initial Business Combination if needed by the Company. Any amounts loaned under this commitment would be evidenced by an unsecured promissory note. The loans would be non-interest bearing and would be payable at the consummation by the Company of the Business Combination or, at the holder’s option, be converted into additional Private Units. If a Business Combination is not consummated, the notes would not be repaid by the Company and all amounts owed thereunder would be forgiven except to the extent that the Company had funds available to it outside of the Trust Account.

5. Deferred Underwriting Compensation

The Company is committed to pay the Deferred Discount of 1% of the gross offering proceeds (or 4% of the gross offering proceeds from the Units sold in the over-allotment option) of the Offering, to the underwriter upon the Company’s consummation of the initial Business Combination. The underwriter is not entitled to any interest on the Deferred Discount, and no Deferred Discount is payable to the underwriter if there is no Business Combination.

6. Trust Account

A total of $40,801,000, which includes $38,701,000 of the net proceeds from the Initial Public Offering and $2,100,000 from the sale of the Private Units, have been placed in the Trust Account. As of December 31, 2014, Interest reinvested in Trust Account is of $1,051. The balance in the Trust Account is $40,802,051.

7. Income Taxes

The Company operates out of offices in both New York City and Beijing, China and is subject to U.S. taxation on its worldwide income. Should the Company be subject to income tax in China it would be entitled to a U.S. foreign tax credit in order to prevent double taxation as per the U.S. – China income tax treaty.

As of December 31, 2014, U.S. federal and state carryovers (“NOLs”) the Company has net operating loss of approximately $165,400, all of which expires in 2034. The ultimate realization of the net operating loss is dependent upon future taxable income, if any, of the Company and may be limited in any one period by alternative minimum tax rules. Although management believes that the Company will have sufficient future taxable income to absorb the net loss carryovers before the expiration of the carryover period, there may be circumstances beyond the Company’s control that limit such utilization. Accordingly, management has determined that a full valuation allowance against the deferred tax asset is appropriate as of December 31, 2014.

Internal Revenue Code Section 382 imposes limitations on the use of net operating loss carryovers when the stock ownership of one or more 5% shareholders (shareholders owning more than 5% of the Company’s outstanding capital stock) has increased on a cumulative basis more than 50 percentage points within a period of two years. Management cannot control the ownership changes occurring as a result of public trading of the Company’s Common Stock. Accordingly, there is a risk of an ownership change beyond the control of the Company that could trigger a limitation of the use of the loss carryover.

Management believes that a change of control likely occurred in September 2014 with the company’s initial public offering. However, the amount of NOLs for the year ended December 31, 2014 was immaterial.

A reconciliation of the U.S. federal statutory tax rate to the Company’s effective tax rate as of December 31, 2014 is as follows:

Preferred Shares

The Company is authorized to issue 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share with such designation, rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by the Company’s board of directors.

As of December 31, 2014, there are no shares of preferred stock issued or outstanding.

Common Stock

The Company is authorized to issue 25,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share. Holders of the Company’s common stock are entitled to one vote for each common share.

As of December 31, 2014, there were 2,230,025 shares of common stock issued and outstanding excluding 3,080,100 shares subject to possible conversion. 150,000 shares issued on March 28, 2014 were subject to forfeiture to the extent the underwriter’s over-allotment option was not exercised in full. On September 24, 2014, the Company sold 80,100 units pursuant to the Overallotment as discussed in Note 1 and 3. Accordingly, 20,025 shares of common stock are no longer subject to forfeiture. On October 10, 2014, the Overallotment expired without any of the balance being exercised. As a result, 129,975 shares held by the Initial Stockholders have been forfeited.

9. Subsequent Events

The Company has evaluated subsequent events occurring after the balance sheet date through the date where these financial statements were issued. Based on this evaluation, the Company has determined that no subsequent events, have occurred which require disclosure in the financial statements.

WINS FINANCE GROUP LIMITED
NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2015

NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION AND PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES

Wins Finance Group Limited (“Wins” or “the Company”) is a holding company that was incorporated under the laws of British Virgin Islands on July 27, 2014 by Mr. Wang Hong. On October 23, 2014, Wins acquired a wholly-owned subsidiary Full Shine Capital Resources Limited (“Full Shine”) who is a shell company incorporated in the laws of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (the “HKSAR” or “Hong Kong”) for $1.

On December 2, 2014, through a share exchange agreement (the “SEA”), Wins through Full Shine acquired 100% of ownership of Jinshang International Financial Leasing Co., Ltd. (“Jinshang Leasing”). According to the SEA, Wins issued 30,000,000 common shares to a company registered in the British Virgin Islands and 100% owned by Mr. Wang Hong in exchange for 100% ownership of Jinshang Leasing.

Since Wins and Full Shine do not have any operations and only a minor amount of net assets, and were controlled by the same owner as Jinshang Leasing, Dongsheng Guarantee and Jinchen Agriculture, the share exchange on December 2, 2014 shall be considered as capital transaction in substance, rather than a business combination transaction.Unaudited consolidated financial statements as of and for the nine months ended March 31,2015 included Wins, Full Shine, Jinshang Leasing, Jinchen Agriculture, Dongsheng Guarantee and Tianjin Jiaming. The balance sheet as of June 30, 2014, and the statements of income and comprehensive income and the statement of cash flow for the nine months ended March 31, 2014 were retrospectively adjusted to furnish comparative information, and included Jinshang Leasing, Jinchen Agriculture, Dongsheng Guarantee and Tianjin Jiaming. Wins recognized the acquired entities’ assets and liabilities at their carrying amounts in the accounts of the acquired entities at the date of the capital transaction under common control. After the completion of the capital transactions, the group mainly conducts business through Jinshang Leasing and Dongsheng Guarantee.

Jinshang Leasing was incorporated on May 18, 2009 in Beijing, People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”) under the laws of PRC and mainly engaged in providing financing lease services to small and medium-sized companies and related financing consulting services in the PRC. Mr. Wang Hong has been its ultimate owners since inception.On December 2, 2014, Full Shine acquiredits 100% owndership.

Tianjin JinshangJiaming Financial Leasing Co. Ltd. (“Tianjin Jiaming”) was incorporated on April 23, 2014 by Jinshang Leasing. Tianjin Jiaming has not yet conducted specific business activity since its establishment.

Shanxi Jinchen Agriculture Co., Ltd. (“Jinchen Agriculture”) was incorporated on February 29, 2012 in Jinzhong City. Shangxi Province, PRC under the laws of PRC.Jinchen Agriculture had no operations as of the balance sheet dates. Mr. Wang Hong has been its ultimate controlling owner since its inception.

Shanxi Dongsheng Finance Guarantee Co., Ltd. (“Dongsheng Guarantee”) was incorporated on February 22, 2006 in Jinzhong City, Shangxi Province, PRC under the laws of PRC and is mainly engaged in providing credit guarantee to small and medium-sized companies and related consulting finance services in the PRC.

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a) Basis of presentation and principle of consolidation

The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries are prepared and presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”).

The interim financial information as of March 31,2015 and for the nine months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 have been prepared without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and pursuant to Regulation S-X. Certain information and footnote disclosures, which are normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, have been omitted pursuant to those

F-34

WINS FINANCE GROUP LIMITED
NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

rules and regulations. The interim consolidated financial information should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto, included in the Company’s audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position as of March 31,2015, its results of operations and its cash flows for the nine months ended March 31,2015 and 2014, as applicable, have been made. The unaudited interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full fiscal year or any future periods.

(b) Use of estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. On an ongoing basis, management reviews these estimates using the currently available information. Changes in facts and circumstances may cause the Company to revise its estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near-term relate to the determination of the allowance for doubtful accounts and probably loss from guaranteed amounts for financial guarantee service customers.

Significant accounting estimates reflected in the financial statements include: (i) the allowance for doubtful receivables; (ii) estimates of losses on unexpired contracts and financial guarantee service contracts; (iii) accrual of estimated liabilities; (iv) useful lives of long-lived assets; (v) the impairment of long-lived assets; (vi) the valuation allowance of deferred tax assets; and (vii) contingencies.

(c) Operating segments

ASC 280, Segment Reporting, requires companies to report financial and descriptive information about their reportable operating segments, including segment profit or loss, certain specific revenue and expense items, and segment assets. The Company has one reportable segment. All of the Company’s activities are interrelated, and each activity is dependent and assessed based on how each of the activities of the Company supports the others.

The Company has only one reportable segment, which is to provide financial services in the PRC domestic market. The Company’s chief operating decision-maker (“CODM”) has been identified as the Chief Executive Officer, who reviews operating results to make decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance for both the financing lease and guarantee business. The Company’s gross revenue is all generated from customers in the PRC. Hence, the Company operates and manages its business within one segment. For the nine months ended March 31, 2014, there was no one customer that accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s revenue. For the nine months ended March 31, 2015, there were 2 customers that accounted for more than10% of the Company’s revenue, and the percentages of income from these 2 customers to gross revenue were:

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

(d) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand, cash in banks and all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, which are unrestricted as to withdrawal and use.

(e) Restricted Cash

Restricted cash represents cash pledged with banks as guarantor for the guarantee business customers. The banks providing loans to the Company’s guarantee service customers generally require the Company, as the guarantor of the loans, to pledge a cash deposit of 10% to 20% of the guaranteed amount to an escrow account and is restricted from use. The deposits are released after the guaranteed bank loans are paid off and the Company’s guarantee obligation expires which is usually within 12 months.

(f) Short-term investments

Investments in non-marketable assets management products issued by banks and financial institutions (the issuers) with original maturities of one year to five years but could be redeemed at or transferrable any time are classified as short-term investments under cost method. The assets management products are managed by banks and financial in stitutions and invested in fixed-income financial products permitted by the China Securities Regulatory Commission(“SRC”) such as government bonds, corporate bonds and central bank notes. The investment portfolios of these products are not disclosed to the Company by the banks or financial institutions. If the banks and financial institutions are required to redeem these investments, they will redeem at the price of the principal with the undistributed interests. The Company carries the cost method investments at cost and only adjusts for other-than-temporary impairment and distributions of earnings. Management regularly evaluates the impairment of the cost method investments at individual security level. If the fair value of an investment is less than its amortized cost basis at the balance sheet date of the report period for which impairment is assessment, management will determine whether the decline in fair value is temporary or permanent. If the decline in fair value is other than temporary, the cost basis of the individual security is written down to fair value as a new cost basis and the amount of the write-down is included in current earnings. There is no impairment noted for each report period presented herein.

Interest income from short-term investment is recognized when the Companies’ right to receive payment is established. Accrued but non-received interest income is recorded as interest receivable in the unaudited consolidated balance sheets.

(g) Financial guarantee service contract

Financial guarantee service contract provides guaranty which protects the holder of a debt obligation against non-payment when due. Pursuant to such guarantee, Dongsheng Guarantee makes payment if the obligor fails in making payment when due.

The contract amounts reflect the extent of involvement the Company has in the guarantee transaction and also represents Dongsheng Guarantee’s maximum exposure to credit loss. According to PRC regulations, the maximum amount Dongsheng Guarantee could provide to its financial guarantee customers is 10 times of its net assets.

Dongsheng Guarantee is a party to financial instrument with off-balance-sheet in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. Financial instruments whose contract amounts represent credit risk are as follows:

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

(h) Guarantee paid on behalf of guarantee service customers

As guarantor of guarantee service customers’ loans from banks and financial institutions, Dongsheng Guarantee is obligated to repay the loans to banks or financial institutions for the unpaid principals and interests when a customer defaults the loans. The repayment on behalf of guarantee service customers was recorded as guarantee paid on behalf of guarantee service customers in the consolidated balance sheets. As of March 31, 2015 and June 30, 2014, uncollected guarantee paid on behalf of guarantee service customers from guarantee service customers on whose behalf Dongsheng Guarantee repaid the loans were $715,243 (unaudited) and $518,935, respectively.

(i) Provision for Guarantee Losses

A provision for possible loss to be absorbed by Dongsheng Guarantee for the financial guarantee it provides is recorded as an accrued liability when the guarantees are made and recorded as “Allowance on financial guarantee services” on the consolidated balance sheets. This liability represents probable losses and is increased or decreased by accruing a “Provision/(reversal of provision) on financial guarantee services” against the income of commissions and fees on guarantee services reserve.

This is done throughout the life of the guarantee, as necessary when additional relevant information becomes available. The methodology used to estimate the liability for possible guarantee loss considers the guarantee contract amount and a variety of factors, which include, depending on the counterparty, latest financial position and performance of the borrowers, actual defaults, estimated future defaults, historical loss experience, estimated value of collaterals or guarantees the costumers or third parties offered, and other economic conditions such as the economy trend of the area and the country. The estimates are based upon currently available information.

When determining the amount to be recognized in respect of liabilities arising from our guarantee business, we estimate the provision based on considering the guarantee contract amount and a variety of factors, which include, dependence on the counterparty, latest financial position and performance of the customers, actual defaults, estimated future defaults, historical loss experience, estimated value of collateral or guarantees the customers or third parties offered, and other economic conditions such as the economic trend of the area and the country. The estimates are based upon currently available information. It is possible that the prior experience and default history are not indicative of future loss on the guarantee issued. Any increase or decrease in the provision would affect income statement in future years.

Dongsheng Guarantee estimates the probably loss to be 1% of the guarantee contract amount balance and made a reversal for possible credit risk of its guarantee in the amount of $955,625 for the nine months ended March 31, 2015, and made a provision of $1,183,695 the nine months ended March 31, 2014, respectively. $0 and $235,930 was written-off during the nine months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

(j) Net investment in direct financing leases

Leases contracts that Jinshang Leasing entered with finance lease customers transfer substantially all the rewards and risks of ownership of the leased assets to the customers, other than legal title before the expiration, are accounted for as direct financing leases in accordance to ASC 840-10-25 and ASC 840-40-25. The transactions were categorized as direct financing leases. At the inception of a transaction, the cost of the leased property is capitalized at the present value of the minimum lease payment receivables and the unguaranteed residual value of the property at the end of the lease. The difference between the sum of the minimum lease payment receivables, the unguaranteed residual value and the cost of the leased property is recognized as unearned income. Unearned income is recognized over the period of the lease using the effective interest rate method.

Net investment in direct financing leases is recorded at net realizable value consisting of minimum lease payments to be received less allowance for uncollectibles, as needed, and less the unearned income. The allowance for lease payment receivable losses is maintained at a level considered adequate to provide for losses that can be reasonably anticipated. Management performs a quarterly evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance. The allowance is based

F-37

WINS FINANCE GROUP LIMITED
NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2015

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

on Jinshang Leasing’s loss history, known and inherent risks in the transactions, adverse situations that may affect the lessee’s ability to repay, the estimated value of any underlying asset, current economic conditions and other relevant factors. This evaluation is inherently subjective, as it requires material estimates that may be susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available. While management uses the best information available upon which to base estimates, future adjustments to the allowance may be necessary if economic conditions differ substantially from the assumptions used for the purposes of analysis. Jinshang Leasing provides “Specific Allowance” for the lease payment receivable of lease transactions if any specific collectivity risk identified, and a “General Allowance”, based on total minimum lease payment receivable balance of those transactions with no specific risk identified, to be used to cover unidentified probable loss. The General Allowance is set to be 1% of total unidentified lease receivable balances as of March 31, 2015 and June 30, 2014. The General Allowance Jinshang Leasing provided as of March 31, 2015 and June 30, 2014 was $644,267 (unaudited) and $229,808, respectively; and Specific Allowance was $0 and $1,008,876, respectively..Jinshang Leasing made $411,598 and $199,307 provision for General Allowance during the nine months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. $1,011,077 was written off against Specific Allowance during thenine months ended March 31, 2015 and no provision was made for minimum lease payment receivable was written off against General Allowance during the nine months ended March 31, 2014.

(k) Revenue recognition

Revenue is recognized when there are probable economic benefits to the Company and when the revenue can be measured reliably, on the following:

Commission income and evaluation income on guarantee service

Commission income on guarantee service is recognized when guarantee contracts have been made whereby the related guarantee obligation has been accepted, the economic benefits associated with the guarantee contracts will probably flow in, and the amount of revenue associated with guarantee contracts can be measured reliably. Commission is determined based on the total agreed fee in the guarantee contracts, recorded in full at inception as unearned income and is recognized as commission in the income statement over the period of guarantee at straight-line method. The agreed commission is generally 3%–7.2% of the guaranteed amount for 12 months which represented the fair value of the non-contingent guarantee liability at the inception of the guarantee.

Dongsheng Guarantee charges the financial guarantee customers a one-time fee for the necessary evaluation Dongsheng Guarantee performed on the customers’ financial ability to apply for loans from banks and financial institutions. The evaluation income was recognized upon the completion of the evaluation.

Direct financing lease interest income

Direct financing lease interest income is on an accrual basis using the effective interest method over the terms of the lease by applying the rate that exactly discounts the estimated future minimum lease payment receivables through the period of the lease to the net investment of the direct financing lease at the inception.

The accrual of interest income on leases will be discontinued when the customer becomes 90 (ninety) days or more past due on its lease or loan payments with the Company, unless the Company believes the interest is otherwise recoverable.  Leases may be placed on non-accrual earlier if the Company has significant doubt about the ability of the customer to meet its lease obligations, as evidenced by consistent delinquency, deterioration in the customer’s financial condition or other relevant factors. Payments received while on non-accrual are applied to reduce the Company’s recorded value. The Company will resume accruing the interest income when the Company determines the interest becomes recoverable again, for example the customer resumes payment of the previous interests, and shows material improvement of performance and financial position, etc.

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

Financial advisory and agency income

Jinshang Leasing and Dongsheng Guarantee provide financing solutions to customers and received advisory fee as compensation. The advisory fees are recognized as income during the service period along with the completion of service obligation.

As a licensed finance lease company, Jinshang Leasing acts as agent in the finance lease transactions between other finance lessors and lessees, or between banks and lessees. Jinshang Leasing takes neither the benefit of receiving lease payment or the repayment obligation in these transactions. The lease agency income and advisory fees received in these transactions are recognized as income at a net basis during the service period along with the completion of service obligation.

Jinshang Leasing acts as financing agencies between other financial leasing companies who need capital and financial institutions who are willing to provide capital. Other financial leasing companies factoring their rights to collect capital lease receivables from their lessees to Jinshang Leasing to obtain capitals from Jinshang Leasing, and Jinshang Leasing factoring its rights to collect debts from these financial lease companies to other financial institutions to finance a portion of the capital provided to other financial lease companies. All the factorings in these transactions were with recourse rights. Financial agency income that Jinshang Leasing earned from the transactions was accrued monthly in accordance with their contractual terms as net of interest income on loans to other financial leasing companies and interest cost on loans from financial institutions.

(l) Property and equipment

Plant and equipment a restated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using a straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets with 3%–5% salvage value. Average estimated useful lives of property and equipment are stated in Note 8.

The Company eliminates the cost and related accumulated depreciation of assets sold or otherwise retired from the accounts and includes any gain or loss in the statement of income. The Company charges maintenance, repairs and minor renewals directly to expenses as incurred; major additions and betterment to equipment are capitalized.

(m) Impairment of long-lived assets

The Company applies the provisions of ASC No. 360 Sub topic 10, “Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” (ASC 360-10) issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). ASC 360-10 requires that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable through the estimated undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the assets. Whenever any such impairment exists, an impairment loss will be recognized for the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value.

The Company tests long-lived assets, including property and equipment and finite lived intangible assets, for impairment at least annually or more frequently up on the occurrence of an event or when circumstances indicate that the net carrying amount is greater than its fair value. Assets are grouped and evaluated at the lowest level for their identifiable cash flows that are largely independent of the cash flows of other groups of assets. The Company considers historical performance and future estimated results in its evaluation of potential impairment and then compares the carrying amount of the asset to the future estimated cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset. If the carrying amount of the asset exceeds estimated expected undiscounted future cash flows, the Company measures the amount of impairment by comparing the carrying amount of the asset to its fair value. The estimation of fair value is generally measured by discounting expected future cash flows as the rate the Company utilizes to evaluate potential investments. The Company estimates fair value based on the information available in making

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

whatever estimates, judgments and projections are considered necessary. There were no impairment losses on the long-lived assets in the nine months ended March 31, 2014 and 2015.

(n) Fair value measurements

ASC Topic 825, Financial Instruments (“Topic 825”) requires disclosure of fair value information of financial instruments, whether or not recognized in the balance sheets, for which it is practicable to estimate that value. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. In that regard, the derived fair value estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets and, in many cases, could not be realized in immediate settlement of the instruments. Topic 825 excludes certain financial instruments and all non-financial assets and liabilities from its disclosure requirements. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts do not represent the underlying value of the Company.

Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

Level 2 inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the assets or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instruments.

Level 3 inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value.

As of March 31, 2015 and June 30, 2014, financial instruments of the Company primarily comprise of cash, restricted cash, accounts receivables, other receivables, and bank loans, loans receivable and loans payable which were carried at cost on the consolidated balance sheets, and carrying amounts approximated their fair values because of their generally short maturities.

(o) Foreign currency translation

The Company’s functional currency is United States Dollars (“USD”). The functional currency of Jinshang Leasing Jinchen Agriculture and Dongsheng Guarantee is Chinese Yuan, or Renminbi (“RMB”).

For financial reporting purposes, the financial statements of the Jinshang Leasing and Dongsheng Guarantee were prepared using RMB, are translated into the Company’s functional currency, USD at the exchange rates quoted by www.oanda.com. Assets and liabilities are translated using the exchange rate at each balancesheet date. Revenue and expenses are translated using average rates prevailing during each reporting period, and owners’ equity is translated at historical exchange rates. Adjustments resulting from the translation are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income in owners’ equity.

(p) Interest expenses

Interest expenses derived from the loans providing fund to financial leasing contracts is classified as cost of revenue in the statements of income.

(q) Non-interest expenses

Non-interest expenses primarily consist of salary and benefits for employees, traveling cost, entertainment expenses, depreciation of equipment, office rental expenses, professional service fee, office supplies, etc.

(r) Income taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes.” ASC 740 requires a company to use the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes, whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences, and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion, or all of, the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.

Under ASC 740, a tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is “more likely than not” that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized on examination. For tax positions not meeting the “more likely than not” test, no tax benefit is recorded.

According to the law of the People’s Republic of China on enterprise income tax and implementation regulations, small business credit guarantee institutions is allowed to deduct from taxable income the allowance for guarantee loss as follows:

(i)        Guarantee Compensation Reserve — no more than 1% of guaranteed amount balance at the end of the current year; at the same time the Guarantee Compensation Reserve at the end of the immediate previous year should be an addition to the current year taxable income.

(ii)       Unexpired Liability Reserve — no more than 50% of the current year guarantee income; at the same time the Unexpired Liability Reserve provided in the immediate previous year should be an addition to the current year taxable income

(iii)      The actual guarantee compensation loss incurred by small business credit guarantee institutions should be a write-off of Guarantee Compensation Reserve first, and the excessive amount could be a deduction of current year taxable income.

Deductible or taxable temporary difference is generated from the difference in allowance on tax base from allowance recognized in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

According to the law of PRC on taxation, investment income from security funds is exempted from enterprise income tax.

(s) Comprehensive income

Comprehensive income includes net income and foreign currency adjustments. Comprehensive income is reported in the statements of operations and comprehensive income.

Accumulated other comprehensive income, as presented on the balance sheets are the cumulative foreign currency translation adjustments.

(t) Operating leases

The Company leases their principal offices under lease agreements that qualify as operating leases. The Company records the rental under the lease agreement in the operating expense when incurred.

(u) Commitments and contingencies

In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to loss contingencies, such as legal proceedings and claims arising out of its business, that cover a wide range of matters, including, among others, government investigations and tax matters. In accordance with ASC No. 450 Sub topic 20, “Loss Contingencies”, the Company records accruals for such loss contingencies when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated.

(v) Recent accounting announcement

The FASB has issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. This ASU supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Accounting Standards Codification 605 — Revenue Recognition and most industry-specific guidance throughout the Codification. The standard requires that an entity recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This ASU is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and should be applied retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying the ASU recognized at the date of initial application. For all other entities (nonpublic entities), the amendments in this ASU are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. A nonpublic entity may elect to apply this guidance earlier, however, only as prescribed in this ASU. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

NOTE 3. RISKS

(a) Credit risk

Credit risk is one of the most significant risks for the Company’s business. Credit risk exposures arise principally in financial guarantee activities which are off-balance sheet financial instruments.

Credit risk is controlled by the application of credit approvals, limits and monitoring procedures. The Company manages credit risk through its risk control system based upon “business circle” of core Small and Medium Enterprises (“SMEs”), which starts from the determination of overall risk management strategies, pre-transaction due diligence and assessment, in-transaction risk evaluation, product design, pricing determination and counter-guarantee requirement design to post-transaction ongoing monitoring. To minimize credit risk, the Company requires collateral in the form of rights to cash, securities or property and equipment.

The Company identifies credit risk collectively based on industry, geography and customer type. This information is monitored regularly by management.

(b) Liquidity risk

The Company is also exposed to liquidity risk which is risk that it is unable to provide sufficient capital resources and liquidity to meet its commitments and business needs. The Company is also exposed to liquidity risk of its short-term investment in the event the banks and financial institutions that manage the short-term investments are unable to redeem such short-term investments at a price equal to the principal and undistributed interests or, in extreme circumstances, such as significant redemptions or a deterioration of liquidity in the financial markets, may be unable to redeem them at all. As a result, the Company may not have access to the capital related to such

F-42

WINS FINANCE GROUP LIMITED
NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 3. RISKS (cont.)

short-term investments when needed. Liquidity risk is controlled by the application of financial position analysis and monitoring procedures. When necessary, the Company will turn to other financial institutions and the owners to obtain short-term funding to meet the liquidity shortage.

(c) Foreign currency risk

A majority of the Company’s operating activities and a significant portion of the Company’s assets and liabilities are denominated in RMB, which is not freely convertible into foreign currencies. All foreign exchange transactions take place either through the Peoples’ Bank of China (“PBOC”) or other authorized financial institutions at exchange rates quoted by PBOC. Approval of foreign currency payments by the People’s Bank of China or other regulatory institutions requires submitting a payment application form together with suppliers’ invoices and signed contracts. The value of RMB is subject to changes in central government policies and to international economic and political developments affecting supply and demand in the China Foreign Exchange Trading System market.

(d) Concentration risk

As of March 31, 2015 and June 30, 2014, the Company held cash and restricted cash of $45,920,114 (unaudited) and $ 21,551,071, respectively that is uninsured by the government authority. To limit exposure to credit risk relating to deposits, the Company primarily places cash deposits only with large financial institutions in the PRC with acceptable credit ratings.

The Company’s operations are carried out in the PRC. Accordingly, the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations may be influenced by the political, economic and legal environments in the PRC as well as by the general state of the PRC’s economy. The business may be influenced by changes in governmental policies with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion and remittance abroad, and rates and methods of taxation, among other things.

NOTE 4. RESTRICTED CASH

Restricted cash represents cash pledged with banks as guarantor deposit for Dongsheng Guarantee’s guarantee service customers, amounting to $28.6 (unaudited) and $15.8 million as of March 31, 2015 and June 30, 2014, respectively; and cash deposited with banks for Jinshang Leasing’s bank loans for capital lease business (see Note 9), amounting to $0.4 million as of March 31, 2015 and June 30, 2014. The banks providing loans to Dongsheng Guarantee’s guarantee service customers generally require Dongsheng Guarantee as the guarantor of the loans, to pledge a cash deposit usually in the range of 10% to 20% of the guaranteed amount. The deposits are released after the guaranteed bank loans are paid off and Dongsheng Guarantee’s guarantee obligation expires which is usually within 12 months.

NOTE 5. SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS

Short-term investments as of March 31, 2015 and June 30, 2014 represented the transactional mutual debt fund products Dongsheng Guarantee and Jinshang Leasing purchased from other financial institutions. The term for the investments is one year or five years, and Dongsheng Guarantee and Jinshang Leasing could redeem or transfer at any time during the period. Interest from the investments varies from 6.6% to 15% annually with deduction of management fee were receivable quarterly, annually or upon maturity.

The balances at March 31, 2015 and June 30, 2014, by contractual maturity, were due in one year or five years. Actual maturities may differ from contractual maturities because the Company may have the right to redeem.

As of March 31, 2015, there was no impaired minimum lease payments receivable that caused the Company to evaluate individually for impairment. As of June 30, 2014, there was a finance lease transaction with RMB 50.8  million (about $8.2 million) principal investment that the Company expected to only be able to collect the principal but probably not the interest portion to incent the customer to enter into another finance lease transaction with the Company. As of June 30, 2014, the customer has repaid the principal portion of the minimum lease payments. The minimum lease payments receivable was $1,008,876as of June 30, 2014 and was all interest portion. Therefore, the Company individually evaluated the minimum lease payments receivable from this finance lease transaction, and made $1,008,876allowance for impairment against the minimum lease payments receivable directly since the inception of the finance lease. No direct financing lease interest income was ever recognized associated with this finance lease transaction. During the nine months ended March 31, 2015, the Company agreed with the customer that the interest portion would be waived. The Company wrote off $1,011,077against the allowance during the nine months ended March 31, 2015.

The allowance for credit losses provides coverage for probable and estimable losses in the Company’s investment in direct financing lease. The allowance recorded is based on a quarterly review. The determination of the appropriate amount of any provision is highly dependent on management’s judgment at that time and takes into consideration all known relevant internal and external factors, including levels of nonperforming leases, customers’ financial condition, leased property values and collateral values as well as general economic conditions. When a direct financing lease receivable is determined uncollectible, for example, the customer goes bankruptcy, or the Company reaches agreement of debt restructuring with the customer, the direct financing lease would be written off from the investment in direct finance leases.

As of March 31, 2015 and June 30, 2014, no direct financing lease receivables are past due over 90 days.

NOTE 6. NET INVESTMENT IN DIRECT FINANCING LEASES (cont.)

Credit Quality of Investment in Direct Financial Lease:

The Company performs a quarterly review on the credit quality of investment in direct financial lease, by evaluating a variety of factors, which includes, dependence on the counterparty, latest financial position and performance of the customers, actual defaults, estimated future defaults, historical loss experience, leased property values or collateral values, and other economic conditions such as the economic trend of the area and the country. In cases where heightened risk is detected in the guarantee business that shows the customer has difficulties in repaying the underlying financing, such as default of interest payment, material changes to the customer’s business, deterioration of financial conditions and cash flow support, WFG would classify the contracts as “abnormal contracts”, otherwise the contracts would be classified as “normal contracts”. For those abnormal contracts, WFG would initiate negotiation with the customer about any improvement or remediation measures including improvement plan for cash flow management, third-party support, extension plans and etc, and implement close supervision on these measures.

The risk classification of direct financing lease receivables is as follows:

Deferred tax liability as of March 31, 2015 arose from the difference in tax and accounting base of the deductible allowance for guarantee loss.

Deferred tax assets as of March 31, 2015 arise from the difference in tax and accounting base of the deductible allowance for lease payment receivable loss and the difference in direct financing lease income recognition between PRC and U.S. GAAP.

As of March 31, 2015 and June 30, 2014, the Company had net deferred tax assets of $376,174and $0, respectively. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The management considered all available evidence, both positive and negative, in determining the realizability of deferred tax assets at March 31, 2015. Management considered carry back availability, the scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income during the reversal periods, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Management also considered recent history of taxable income, trends in the Company’s earnings and tax rate, positive financial ratios, and the impact of the downturn in the current economic environment (including the impact of credit on allowance and provision for guarantee and direct financing lease losses; and the impact on funding levels) on the Company. Based upon its assessment, management believes that a valuation allowance was not necessary as of March 31, 2015.

Guarantee Commitments

The guarantees will terminate upon payment and/or cancellation of the obligation; however, payments by the Dongsheng Guarantee would be triggered by failure of the guaranteed party to fulfill its obligation covered by the guarantee. Generally, the average guarantee expiration terms ranged within 6 to 12 months.

Contingencies

Dongsheng Guarantee failed to comply with the Interim Measures for the Administration of Financing Guarantee Companies (“Interim Measures”) promulgated by the Chinese Banking Regulatory Commission, NDRC, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Ministry of Finance, MOFCOM, the People’s Bank of China and the State Administration for Industry and Commerce, effective March 8, 2010 for guarantee business which require that the balance of the financing guarantee liabilities provided by a financing guarantee company for any single guaranteed party shall not exceed 10% of the net assets of the guarantee company. Dongsheng Guarantee provided guarantee service for loans in excess of 10% of its net assets for two clients during the period from March 2014 to March 2015. In addition, we failed to comply with certain social insurance contributions and Provident Housing Fund requirements under PRC regulations (collectively “Social Benefit Regulations”). Dongsheng Guarantee failed to make social insurance contributions and Provident Housing Fund contributions for some of its employees. As of the latest practicable date, we had not received any notice from any of the relevant government authorities regarding our non-compliance with Interim Measures for our guarantee business and the

Social Benefit Regulations. However, the management cannot assure that the relevant regulatory authorities will not impose penalties and/or bring legal action against us retrospectively, which may adversely affect our business and cause a significant penalty payment, which the management cannot estimate.

The Company and its subsidiaries are not currently a party to any legal proceeding, investigation or claim which, in the opinion of the management, is likely to have material adverse effect on the business, financial condition or results of operations.

The Company has not recorded any legal contingencies as of March 31, 2015.

NOTE 2 2. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On April 24, 2015, Wins entered into an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Merger Agreement”) by and among Sino Mercury Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (“Sino”), Wins Finance Holdings Inc., a Cayman Islands exempted company and wholly owned subsidiary of Sino (“Holdco”) and each of Wits Global Limited, Appelo Limited, Glowing Assets Holdings Limited and Cosmic Expert Limited, each of which are British Virgin

Islands international companies and shareholders of Wins that, collectively, own 100% of Wins’ outstanding capital and voting shares (“Wins Shareholders”). The merger agreement provides for (i) the merger of Sino with and into Holdco, with Holdco being the surviving entity, and (ii) immediately following the merger, the share exchange by the shareholders of Wins of 100% of the ordinary shares of Wins for cash and ordinary shares of Holdco The merger and share exchange intends to be consummated at the same time. However, from a practical perspective, the documentation required to be filed with respect to the merger will be filed immediately prior to the documentation required to be filed with respect to the share exchange.

Under the merger agreement, upon the consummation of the merger (1) each share of Sino common stock will be exchanged for one ordinary share of Holdco, except that public stockholders shall be entitled to elect instead to receive a pro rata portion of Sino’s trust account, as provided in Sino’s charter documents, and (2) each Sino right will be exchanged for one-tenth of one share of Holdco.

Under the merger agreement, upon consummation of the share exchange, Wins shareholders will receive (1)

         an amount of cash remaining in Sino’s trust fund after payment of all amounts to public stockholders that exercise their conversion rights, less $5,000,000 (provided that the cash consideration shall not to exceed $25,000,000) and (2)

         a number of ordinary shares of Holdco equal to $168,000,000 less the cash consideration divided by $10.00.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Wins shareholders shall have the option to forego receiving any cash consideration and instead receive such consideration in additional ordinary shares of Holdco. If the Wins shareholders were to forego receiving all of the cash consideration, they would receive up to an additional 2,500,000 ordinary shares of Holdco.

The Wins shareholders will not be able to sell any of the ordinary shares of Holdco that they receive as a result of the share exchange until the day preceding the day that is twelve months after the consummation of the transactions (subject to limited exceptions). The restriction on sales will end earlier than such date with respect to 50% of such shares if the closing price of the Holdco ordinary shares exceeds $13.00 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period following the consummation of the transactions. Each Wins shareholder will be required to enter into a lock-up agreement to such effect as a condition to exchanging their capital stock of Wins for the Holdco ordinary shares in connection with the share exchange. These lock-up provisions are substantively identical to the restrictions on transfer imposed on the Sino initial stockholders.

NOTE 2 2. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS (cont.)

To provide a fund for payment to Holdco with respect to its post-closing rights to indemnification under the merger agreement for breaches of representations and warranties and covenants by Wins and its shareholders and certain other indemnification matters, there will be placed in escrow (with an independent escrow agent) ordinary shares of Holdco equal to 10% of the stock consideration issuable to the Wins shareholders at closing. The aggregate liability for indemnification will not exceed the shares held in escrow. Other than with respect to actual fraud or intentional or willful misrepresentation or omission, Holdco’s rights to indemnification will be its sole remedy with respect to any and all claims for money damages arising out of or relating to the merger agreement.

Sino and Wins plan to complete the transactions promptly after the Sino special meeting, provided that:

         Sino’s stockholders have approved the merger proposal and charter proposals;

         Holders of no more than 3,080,100 of Sino’s public shares have exercised their conversion rights;

         Holdco has received confirmation from Nasdaq that it meets all the requirements for listing on such exchange other than the requirement to have a sufficient number of round lot holders; and

         the other conditions specified in the merger agreement have been satisfied or waived.

Sino’s board of directors concluded that the transactions met all of the requirements disclosed in the prospectus for its initial public offering, including that the business of Wins had a fair market value of at least 80% of the balance of the funds in the trust account (exclusive of deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable) at the time of execution of the merger agreement.

As a result of the transactions, assuming that no stockholders of Sino elect to convert their public shares into cash in connection with the merger as permitted by Sino’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation and the Wins shareholders elect to receive all of the cash consideration, the Wins shareholders will own approximately 71.4% of the ordinary shares of Holdco to be outstanding immediately after the transactions and the former Sino stockholders will own approximately 28.6% of Holdco’s outstanding ordinary shares. If the maximum number of Sino public shares is converted into cash and the Wins shareholders elect to forego receiving all the cash consideration, such percentages will be approximately 86.3% and 13.7%, respectively.

If the merger proposal is not approved by Sino’s stockholders at the special meeting, neither the charter proposals nor the incentive compensation plan proposal will be presented at the special meeting for a vote.

and
Shanxi Jinchen Agriculture Co., Ltd

We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheets of Jinshang International Financial Leasing Co., Ltd, Shanxi Dongsheng Finance Guarantee Co., Ltd and Shanxi Jinchen Agriculture Co., Ltd (the “Companies”) as of June 30, 2014 and 2013, and the related combined statements of income and comprehensive income, changes in owners’ equity and cash flows for the years then ended.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the Companies’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Companies are not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of their internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Companies’ internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the combined financial position of Jinshang International Financial Leasing Co., Ltd, Shanxi Dongsheng Finance Guarantee Co., Ltd and Shanxi Jinchen Agriculture Co., Ltd as of June 30, 2014 and 2013, and the combined results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a) Basis of presentation and principle of combination

Basis of presentation

The accompanying combined financial statements have been presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The accompanying combined balance sheets as of June 30, 2014 and 2013 and the related combined statements of income and comprehensive income, changes in owners’ equity and cash flows for the years then ended include those of Jinshang Leasing, Dongsheng Guarantee and its subsidiary Tianjin Jiaming, and Jinchen Agriculture (collectively the “Companies”).

Combined financial statements of companies under common control

According to ASC 810-10, the financial statements of the Companies are combined because of common control. Jinshang Leasing, Dongsheng Guarantee and Jinchen Agriculture are commonly controlled by the same ultimate owner Mr. Wang Hong. And the Companies are engaged in the business of the providing financial services to customers in the need of financing. All significant inter company transactions and balances are eliminated on combination.

(b) Use of estimates

The preparation of combined financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. On an ongoing basis, management reviews these estimates using the currently available information. Changes in facts and circumstances may cause the Company to revise its estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near-term relate to the determination of the allowance for doubtful accounts and probably loss from guaranteed amounts for financial guarantee service customers.

Significant accounting estimates reflected in the financial statements include: (i) the allowance for doubtful receivables; (ii) estimates of losses on unexpired contracts and financial guarantee service contracts; (iii) accrual of

estimated liabilities; (iv) useful lives of long-lived assets; (v) the impairment of long-lived assets; (vi) the valuation allowance of deferred tax assets; and (vii) contingencies.

(c) Operating segments

ASC 280, Segment Reporting requires companies to report financial and descriptive information about their reportable operating segments, including segment profit or loss, certain specific revenue and expense items, and segment assets. The Companies has one reportable segment. All of the Companies’ activities are interrelated, and each activity is dependent and assessed based on how each of the activities of the Companies supports the others.

The Companies have only one reportable segment, which is to provide financial services in the PRC domestic market. The Companies’ chief operating decision-maker (“CODM”) has been identified as the Chief Executive Officer, who reviews operating results to make decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance for both the capital lease and guarantee business. The Companies’ net revenues are all generated from customers in the PRC. Hence, the Company operates and manages its business within one segment.

For the year ended June 30, 2013, there was no one customer that accounted for more than 10% of the Companies’ revenue. For the year ended June 30, 2014, there were 2 customers that accounted for more than 10% of the Companies’ revenue, and the percentages of income from these 2 customers to total revenue were:

As of June 30, 2014, two clients accounted for 31.8% and 17.6% of Dongsheng Guarantee’s total outstanding guaranteed loans, respectively, and no other customers accounted for over 10% of its total outstanding guaranteed loans. As of June 30, 2013, no single customers accounted over 10% of Dongsheng Guarantee’s total outstanding guaranteed loans.

(d) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand, cash in banks and all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, which are unrestricted as to withdrawal and use.

(e) Restricted Cash

Restricted cash represents cash pledged with banks as guarantor for the guarantee business customers. The banks providing loans to the Companies’ guarantee service customers generally require the Companies, as the guarantor of the loans, to pledge a cash deposit of 10% to 20% of the guaranteed amount to an escrow account and is restricted from use. The deposits are released after the guaranteed bank loans are paid off and the Companies’ guarantee obligation expires which is usually within 12 months.

(f) Short-term investments

Investments in non-marketable assets management products issued by banks and financial institutions (the issuers) with original maturities of one year to five years but could be redeemed or transferrable at any time are classified as short-term investments under cost method. The assets management products are managed by banks and financial institutions and invested in fixed-income financial products permitted by the China Securities Regulatory Commission (“SRC”) such as government bonds, corporate bonds and central bank notes. The investment portfolios of these products are not disclosed to  the Company by the banks or financial institutions. If the banks and financial institutions are required to redeem theses investments, they will redeem at the price of the principal with the undistributed interests. The Company carries the cost method investments at cost and only adjusts for other-than-temporary impairment

and distributions of earnings. Management regularly evaluates the impairment of the cost method investments at individual security level. If the fair value of an investment is less than its amortized cost basis at the balance sheet date of the report period for which impairment is assessment, management will determine whether the decline in fair value is temporary or permanent. If the decline in fair value is other than temporary, the cost basis of the individual security is written down to fair value as a new cost basis and the amount of the write-down is included in current earnings. There is no impairment noted for each report period presented herein.

Interest income from short-term investment is recognized when the Companies’ right to receive payment is established. Accrued but non-received invest income is recorded as interest receivable in combined balance sheets.

(g) Financial guarantee service contract

Financial guarantee service contract provides guaranty which protects the holder of a debt obligation against non-payment when due. Pursuant to such guarantee, Dongsheng Guarantee makes payment if the obligor fails in making payment when due.

The contract amounts reflect the extent of involvement the Companies have in the guarantee transaction and also represents Dongsheng Guarantee’s maximum exposure to credit loss. According to PRC regulations, the maximum amount Dongsheng Guarantee could provide to its financial guarantee customers is 10 times of its net assets.

Dongsheng Guarantee is a party to financial instrument with off-balance-sheet in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. Financial instruments whose contract amounts represent credit risk are as follows:

June 30, 2013

Guarantee

 

$

182,676,846

 

$

87,093,695

 (h) Guarantee paid on behalf of guarantee service customers

As guarantor of guarantee service customers’ loans from banks and financial institutions, Dongsheng Guarantee is obligated to repay the loans to banks or financial institutions for the unpaid principals and interests when a customer defaults the loans. The repayment on behalf of guarantee service customers was recorded as guarantee paid on behalf of guarantee service customers in the combined balance sheets. As of June 30, 2014 and 2013, uncollected guarantee paid on behalf of guarantee service customers from guarantee service customers on whose behalf Dongsheng Guarantee repaid the loans were $518,935 and $234,601, respectively.

(i) Provision for Guarantee Losses

A provision for possible loss to be absorbed by Dongsheng Guarantee for the financial guarantee it provides is recorded as an accrued liability when the guarantees are made and recorded as “Allowance on financial guarantee services” on the combined balance sheets. This liability represents probable losses and is increased or decreased by accruing a “Provision on financial guarantee services” against the income of commissions and fees on guarantee services reserve.

This is done throughout the life of the guarantee, as necessary when additional relevant information becomes available. The methodology used to estimate the liability for possible guarantee loss considers the guarantee contract amount and a variety of factors, which include, depending on the counter party, latest financial position and performance of the borrowers, actual defaults, estimated future defaults, historical loss experience, estimated value of collaterals or guarantees the costumers or third parties offered, and other economic conditions such as the economy trend of the area and the country. The estimates are based upon currently available information.

When determining the amount to be recognized in respect of liabilities arising from our guarantee business, we estimate the provision based on considering the guarantee contract amount and a variety of factors, which include, dependence on the counterparty, latest financial position and performance of the customers, actual defaults, estimated future defaults, historical loss experience, estimated value of collateral or guarantees the customers or

third parties offered, and other economic conditions such as the economic trend of the area and the country. The estimates are based upon currently available information. It is possible that the prior experience and default history are not indicative of future loss on the guarantee issued. Any increase or decrease in the provision would affect income statement in future years.

Dongsheng Guarantee estimates the probably loss to be 1% of the guarantee contract amount balance and made a provision for possible credit risk of its guarantee in the amount of $1,190,387 and $778,594 for the years ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. $236,010 and $0 was written-off during the years ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

(j) Net investment in direct financing leases

Leases contracts Jinshang Leasing entered with finance lease customers transfer substantially all the rewards and risks of ownership of the leased assets to the customers, other than legal title before the expiration, are accounted for as direct financing leases in accordance to ASC 840-10-25 and ASC 840-40-25. The transactions were categorized as direct financing leases. At the inception of a transaction, the cost of the leased property is capitalized at the present value of the minimum lease payment receivables and the unguaranteed residual value of the property at the end of the lease. The difference between the sum of the minimum lease payment receivables, the unguaranteed residual value and the cost of the leased property is recognized as unearned income. Unearned income is recognized over the period of the lease using the effective interest rate method.

Net investment in direct financing leases is recorded at net realizable value consisting of minimum lease payments to be received less allowance for uncollectibles, as needed, and less the unearned income. The allowance for lease payment receivable losses is maintained at a level considered adequate to provide for losses that can be reasonably anticipated. Management performs a quarterly evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance. The allowance is based on Jinshang Leasing’s loss history, known and inherent risks in the transactions, adverse situations that may affect the lessee’s ability to repay, the estimated value of any underlying asset, current economic conditions and other relevant factors. This evaluation is inherently subjective, as it requires material estimates that may be susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available. While management uses the best information available upon which to base estimates, future adjustments to the allowance may be necessary if economic conditions differ substantially from the assumptions used for the purposes of analysis. Jinshang Leasing provides “Specific Allowance” for the lease payment receivable of lease transactions if any specific collectivity risk identified, and a “General Allowance”, based on total minimum lease payment receivable balance of those transactions with no specific risk identified, to be used to cover unidentified probable loss. The General Allowance is set to be 1% of total unidentified lease receivable balance as of June 30, 2014 and 2013. The General Allowance Jinshang Leasing provided as of June 30, 2014 and 2013 was $229,809 and $98,945, respectively; and Specific Allowance was $1,008,876 and $917,892, respectively.

(k) Revenue recognition

Revenue is recognized when there are probable economic benefits to the Companies and when the revenue can be measured reliably, on the following:

Commission income and evaluation income on guarantee service

Commission income on guarantee service is recognized when guarantee contracts have been made whereby the related guarantee obligation has been accepted, the economic benefits associated with the guarantee contracts will probably flow in, and the amount of revenue associated with guarantee contracts can be measured reliably. Commission is determined based on the total agreed fee in the guarantee contracts, recognized in full at inception and records as unearned income and is recognized as commission in the income statement over the period of guarantee at straight-line method. The agreed commission is generally 6% – 7.2% of the guaranteed amount for 12 months which represented the fair value of your non-contingent guarantee liability at the inception of the guarantee.

NOTES TO THE COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

Dongsheng Guarantee charges the financial guarantee customers a one-time fee for the necessary evaluation Dongsheng Guarantee performed on the customers’ financial ability to apply for loans from banks and financial institutions. The evaluation income was recognized upon the completion of the evaluation.

Direct financing lease interest income

Direct financing lease interest income is on an accrual basis using the effective interest method over the whole period of the lease by applying the rate that exactly discounts the estimated future minimum lease payment receivables through the period of the lease to the net investment of the direct financing lease at the inception.

The accrual of interest income on leases will be discontinued when the customer becomes 90 (ninety) days or more past due on its lease or loan payments with the Company, unless the Company believes the interest is otherwise recoverable.  Leases may be placed on non-accrual earlier if the Company has significant doubt about the ability of the customer to meet its lease obligations, as evidenced by consistent delinquency, deterioration in the customer’s financial condition or other relevant factors. Payments received while on non-accrual are applied to reduce the Company’s recorded value. The Company will resume accruing the interest income when the Company determines the interest becomes recoverable again, for example the customer resumes payment of the previous interests, and shows material improvement of performance and financial position, etc.

Financial advisory and lease agency income

Jinshang Leasing and Dongsheng Guarantee provide financing solutions to customers and received advisory fee as compensation. The advisory fees are recognized as income during the service period along with the completion of service obligation.

As a licensed finance lease company, Jinshang Leasing acts as agent in the finance lease transactions between other finance lessors and lessees. Jinshang Leasing takes neither lessor’s nor lessee’s benefit or obligation in these transactions, and charges agency fee only. The lease agency income is recognized on a straight-line method over the lease period.

(l) Property and equipment

Plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using a straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets with 3% – 5% salvage value. Average estimated useful lives of property and equipment are stated in Note 7.

The Companies eliminates the cost and related accumulated depreciation of assets sold or otherwise retired from the accounts and includes any gain or loss in the statement of income. The Companies charge maintenance, repairs and minor renewals directly to expenses as incurred; major additions and betterment to equipment are capitalized.

(m) Impairment of long-lived assets

The Companies apply the provisions of ASC No. 360 Sub topic 10, “Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”(ASC 360-10) issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). ASC 360-10 requires that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable through the estimated undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the assets. Whenever any such impairment exists, an impairment loss will be recognized for the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value.

The Companies test long-lived assets, including property and equipment and finite lived intangible assets, for impairment at least annually or more frequently upon the occurrence of an event or when circumstances indicate

NOTES TO THE COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

that the net carrying amount is greater than its fair value. Assets are grouped and evaluated at the lowest level for their identifiable cash flows that are largely independent of the cash flows of other groups of assets. The Companies consider historical performance and future estimated results in its evaluation of potential impairment and then compares the carrying amount of the asset to the future estimated cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset. If the carrying amount of the asset exceeds estimated expected undiscounted future cash flows, the Companies measure the amount of impairment by comparing the carrying amount of the asset to its fair value. The estimation of fair value is generally measured by discounting expected future cash flows as the rate the Companies utilize to evaluate potential investments. The Companies estimate fair value based on the information available in making whatever estimates, judgments and projections are considered necessary. There were no impairment losses on the long-lived assets in the years ended June 30, 2014 and 2013.

(n) Fair value measurements

ASC Topic 825, Financial Instruments (“Topic 825”) requires disclosure of fair value information of financial instruments, whether or not recognized in the balance sheets, for which it is practicable to estimate that value. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. In that regard, the derived fair value estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets and, in many cases, could not be realized in immediate settlement of the instruments. Topic 825 excludes certain financial instruments and all nonfinancial assets and liabilities from its disclosure requirements. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts do not represent the underlying value of the Companies.

Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

Level 2 inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the assets or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instruments.

Level 3 inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value.

As of June 30, 2014 and 2013, financial instruments of the Companies primarily comprise of cash, restricted cash, accounts receivable, short-term investments, other receivable, and bank loans, which were carried at cost on the combined balance sheets, and carrying amounts approximated their fair values because of their generally short maturities.

(o) Foreign currency translation

The Companies’ functional currency is the Chinese Yuan, or Renminbi (“RMB”); however, the accompanying combined financial statements have been translated and presented in United States Dollars (“USD”).

For financial reporting purposes, the financial statements of the Companies prepared using RMB, are translated into the Companies’ reporting currency, USD at the exchange rates quoted by www.oanda.com . Assets and liabilities are translated using the exchange rate at each balance sheet date. Revenue and expenses are translated using average rates prevailing during each reporting period, and owners’ equity is translated at historical exchange rates. Adjustments resulting from the translation are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income in owners’ equity.

(q) Non-interest expenses

Non-interest expenses primarily consist of salary and benefits for employees, traveling cost, entertainment expenses, depreciation of equipment, office rental expenses, professional service fee, office supplies, etc.

(r) Income taxes

The Companies account for income taxes in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes.” ASC 740 requires a company to use the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes, whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences, and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion, or all of, the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.

Under ASC 740, a tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is “more likely than not” that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized on examination. For tax positions not meeting the “more likely than not” test, no tax benefit is recorded. The adoption had no material effect on the Companies’ combined financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2014.

According to the law of the People’s Republic of China on enterprise income tax and implementation regulations, small business credit guarantee institutions is allowed to deduct from taxable income the allowance for guarantee loss the follows:

(i)        Guarantee Compensation Reserve – no more than 1% of guaranteed amount balance at the end of the current year; at the same time the Guarantee Compensation Reserve at the end of the immediate previous year should be an addition to the current year taxable income.

(ii)       Unexpired Liability Reserve – no more than 50% of the current year guarantee income; at the same time the Unexpired Liability Reserve provided in the immediate previous year should be an addition to the current year taxable income.

(iii)      The actual guarantee compensation loss incurred by small business credit guarantee institutions should be a write-off of Guarantee Compensation Reserve first, and the excessive amount could be a deduction of current year taxable income.

Deductible or taxable temporary difference is generated from the difference in allowance on tax base from allowance recognized in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

According to the law of PRC on taxation, investment income from security funds was exempted from enterprise income tax.

Accumulated other comprehensive income, as presented on the balance sheets are the cumulative foreign currency translation adjustments.

(t) Operating leases

The Companies lease their principal offices under lease agreements that qualify as an operating lease. The Companies records the rental under the lease agreement in the operating expense when incurred.

(u) Commitments and contingencies

In the normal course of business, the Companies are subject to loss contingencies, such as legal proceedings and claims arising out of its business, that cover a wide range of matters, including, among others, government investigations and tax matters. In accordance with ASC No. 450 Sub topic 20, “Loss Contingencies”, the Companies records accruals for such loss contingencies when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated.

(v) Recent accounting announcement

The FASB has issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. This ASU supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Accounting Standards Codification 605 — Revenue Recognition and most industry-specific guidance throughout the Codification. The standard requires that an entity recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This ASU is effective on annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and should be applied retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying the ASU recognized at the date of initial application. For all other entities (nonpublic entities), the amendments in this ASU are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019. A nonpublic entity may elect to apply this guidance earlier, however, only as prescribed in this ASU. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Companies’ financial position and results of operations.

NOTE 3. RISKS

(a) Credit risk

Credit risk is one of the most significant risks for the Companies’ business. Credit risk exposures arise principally in financial guarantee activities which are an off-balance sheet financial instrument.

Credit risk is controlled by the application of credit approvals, limits and monitoring procedures. The Companies manage credit risk through its risk control system based upon “business circle” of core SMEs, which starts from the determination of overall risk management strategies, pre-transaction due diligence and assessment, in-transaction risk evaluation, product design, pricing determination and counter-guarantee requirement design to post-transaction ongoing monitoring. To minimize credit risk, the Companies require collateral in the form of rights to cash, securities or property and equipment.

NOTES TO THE COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 3. RISKS (cont.)

The Companies identify credit risk collectively based on industry, geography and customer type. This information is monitored regularly by management.

(b) Liquidity risk

The Companies are exposed to liquidity risk which is risk that it is unable to provide sufficient capital resources and liquidity to meet its commitments and business needs. The Company is also exposed to liquidity risk of its short-term investment that banks and financial institutions may be unable to redeem the short-term investments at a price including the principal and undistributed interests or even can’t redeem any of these investments as requested under certain extreme circumstances, such as huge redemption, or deterioration of liquidity in financial market, and can’t turn the short-term investments into capital support for our business when needed. Liquidity risk is controlled by the application of financial position analysis and monitoring procedures. When necessary, the Companies will turn to other financial institutions and the owners to obtain short-term funding to meet the liquidity shortage.

(c) Foreign currency risk

A majority of the Companies’ operating activities and a significant portion of the Companies’ assets and liabilities are denominated in RMB, which is not freely convertible into foreign currencies. All foreign exchange transactions take place either through the Peoples’ Bank of China (“PBOC”) or other authorized financial institutions at exchange rates quoted by PBOC. Approval of foreign currency payments by the People’s Bank of China or other regulatory institutions requires submitting a payment application form together with suppliers’ invoices and signed contracts. The value of RMB is subject to changes in central government policies and to international economic and political developments affecting supply and demand in the China Foreign Exchange Trading System market.

(d) Concentration risk

As of June 30, 2014 and 2013, the Companies held cash and restricted cash of $21,546,284 and $14,889,255, respectively that is uninsured by the government authority. To limit exposure to credit risk relating to deposits, the Companies primarily places cash deposits only with large financial institutions in the PRC with acceptable credit ratings.

The Companies’ operations are carried out in the PRC. Accordingly, the Companies’ business, financial condition and results of operations may be influenced by the political, economic and legal environments in the PRC as well as by the general state of the PRC’s economy. The business may be influenced by changes in governmental policies with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion and remittance abroad, and rates and methods of taxation, among other things.

As of June 30, 2014 and 2013, there was a finance lease transaction with RMB 50.8 million (about $8.2 million) principal investment that Jinshang Leasing expected to only be able to collect the principal but probably not the interest portion to incent the customer to enter into another finance lease transaction with Jinshang Leasing.The minimum lease payments receivable were $1,008,876 and $9,137,026, respectively,as of June 30, 2014 and 2013 and the interest portion were $1,008,876 and $917,892, respectively. Therefore, Jinshang Leasing individually evaluated the minimum lease payments receivable from this finance lease transaction, and made $1,008,876 and $917,892 allowance for impairment against the minimum lease payments receivable as of June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The allowance wasmade directly against the minimum lease payments receivable since the inception of the finance lease. No direct financing lease interest income was ever recognized associated with this finance lease transaction. As of June 30, 2014, the customer has repaid the principal portion of the minimum lease payments. As of December 31, 2014, Jinshang Leasing agreed with the customer that the interest portion would be waived and wrote off the uncollectible interests against the allowance.

The accrual of interest income on leases and loans will be discontinued when the customer becomes ninety days or more past due on its lease or loan payments with the Company, unless the Company believes the investment is otherwise recoverable. Leases and loans may be placed on non-accrual earlier if the Company has significant doubt about the ability of the customer to meet its lease or loan obligations, as evidenced by consistent delinquency, deterioration in the customer’s financial condition or other relevant factors. Payments received while on non-accrual are applied to reduce the Company’s recorded value.

The allowance for credit losses provides coverage for probable and estimable losses in the Company’s investment in direct financial leasing. The allowance recorded is based on a quarterly review. The determination of the appropriate amount of any provision is highly dependent on management’s judgment at that time and takes into consideration all known relevant internal and external factors that may affect the lease receivables, including levels of nonperforming leases, customers financial condition, leased property values and collateral appraisals as well as general economic conditions and credit quality indicators. When the direct finance leases is determined uncollectible, for example, the customer goes bankruptcy, or the Company reaches agreement of debt restructuring with the customer, the direct finance leases would be written off from the investment in direct finance leases.

As of December 31, 2014 and June 30, 2014, no direct financing lease receivables are past due over 90 days

Credit Quality of Investment in Direct Financial Lease:

The Company performs a quarterly review on the credit quality of investment in direct financial lease, by evaluating a variety of factors, which includes, dependence on the counterparty, latest financial position and performance of the customers, actual defaults, estimated futuredefaults, historical loss experience, leased property values or collateral values , and other economic conditionssuch as the economic trend of the area and the country. In cases where heightened risk is detected in the guarantee business that shows the customer has difficulties in repaying the underlying financing, such as default of interest payment, material changes to the customer’s business, deterioration of financial conditions and cash flow support, WFG would classify the contracts as “abnormal contracts”, otherwise the contracts would be classified as “normal contracts”. For those abnormal contracts, WFG would initiate negotiation with the customer about any improvement or remediation measures including improvement plan for cash flow management, third-party support, extension plans and etc, and implement close supervision on these measures.

NOTE 16. INCOME TAXES

Effective January 1, 2008, the New Taxation Law of PRC stipulates that domestically owned enterprises and foreign invested enterprises (the “FIEs”) are subject to a uniform tax rate of 25%. While the New Tax Law equalizes the tax rates for FIEs and domestically owned enterprises, preferential tax treatment may continue to be given to companies in certain encouraged sectors and to entities classified as high-technology companies, regardless of whether these are domestically-owned enterprises or FIEs. The Companies are all subject to 25% income tax rate for the years ended June 30, 2014 and 2013.

The Companies evaluate the level of authority for each uncertain tax position (including the potential application of interest and penalties) based on the technical merits, and measure the unrecognized benefits associated with the tax positions. For the years ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, the Companies had no unrecognized tax benefits.

The Companies do not anticipate any significant increase to its liability for unrecognized tax benefit within the next 12 months. And the Companies will classify interest and penalties related to income tax matters, if any, in income tax expense.

NOTE 16. INCOME TAXES (cont.)

Deferred tax assets arise from accumulated loss carried forwarded from previous 5 years by Dongsheng Guarantee and Jinshang Leasing. As of June 30, 2014 and 2013, the Companies had net deferred tax assets of $0 and $523,720, respectively. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The management considered all available evidence, both positive and negative, in determining the realizability of deferred tax assets at June 30, 2014 and 2013. Management considered carryback availability, the scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income during the reversal periods, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Management also considered recent history of taxable income, trends in the Companies’ earnings and tax rate, positive financial ratios, and the impact of the downturn in the current economic environment (including the impact of credit on allowance and provision for guarantee and direct financing lease losses; and the impact on funding levels) on the Companies. Based upon its assessment, management believes that a valuation allowance was not necessary as of June 30, 2014.

NOTE 18. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (cont.)

Contingencies

Dongsheng Guarantee failed to comply with the Interim Measures for the Administration of Financing Guarantee Companies (“Interim Measures”) promulgated by the Chinese Banking Regulatory Commission, NDRC, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Ministry of Finance, MOFCOM, the People’s Bank of China and the State Administration for Industry and Commerce, effective March 8, 2010 for guarantee business which require that the balance of the financing guarantee liabilities provided by a financing guarantee company for any single guaranteed party shall not exceed 10% of the net assets of the guarantee company. Dongsheng Guarantee provided guarantee service for loans in excess of 10% of its net assets for two clients during the period from March 2014 to March 2015. In addition, we failed to comply with certain social insurance contributions and Provident Housing Fund requirements under PRC regulations (collectively “Social Benefit Regulations”). Dongsheng Guarantee failed to make social insurance contributions and Provident Housing Fund contributions for some of its employees. As of the latest practicable date, we had not received any notice from any of the relevant government authorities regarding our non-compliance with Interim Measures for our guarantee business and the Social Benefit Regulations. However, the management cannot assure that the relevant regulatory authorities will not impose penalties and/or bring legal action against us retrospectively, which may adversely affect our business and cause a significant penalty payment, which the management is not able to estimate the potential loss amount.

The Companies are not currently party to any legal proceeding, investigation or claim which, in the opinion of the management, is likely to have material adverse effect on the business, financial condition or results of operations.

The Companies has not recorded any legal contingencies as of June 30, 2014 and 2013.

NOTE 19. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Restructuring

Wins Finance Group Limited (“Wins Finance”) is a holding company that was incorporated under the laws of British Virgin Islands on July 27, 2014 by Mr. Wang Hong. On December 2, 2014, through a share exchange agreement, Wins Finance through Full Shine Capital Resources Limited (“Full Shine”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Wins Finance incorporated in the laws of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (the “HKSAR” or “Hong Kong”) acquired 100% of interests of Jinshang Leasing. Since Wins Finance and Full Shine doesn’t have any operations and only a minor amount of nets assets, the share exchange on December 2, 2014 and was controlled by the same group of owners as Jinshang Leasing, Dongsheng Guarantee and Jinchen Agriculture, the share exchange shall be considered as capital transaction in substance, rather than a business combination transaction.

After the completion of the restructuring transactions, the group mainly conducts business through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Jinshang Leasing and Dongsheng Guarantee.

Agreement and Plan of Reorganization with Sino

On April 24, 2015, Wins entered into an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Merger Agreement”) by and among Sino Mercury Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (“Sino”), Wins Finance Holdings Inc., a Cayman Islands exempted company and wholly owned subsidiary of Sino (“Holdco”) and each of Wits Global Limited, Appelo Limited, Glowing Assets Holdings Limited and Cosmic Expert Limited, each of which are British Virgin Islands international companies and shareholders of Wins that, collectively, own 100% of Wins’ outstanding capital and voting shares (“Wins Shareholders”).  The merger agreement provides for (i) the merger of Sino with and into Holdco, with Holdco being the surviving entity, and (ii) immediately following the merger, the share exchange by the shareholders of Wins of 100% of the ordinary shares of Wins for cash and ordinary shares of Holdco. The merger and share exchange intends to be consummated at the same time. However, from a practical perspective, the documentation required to be filed with respect to the merger will be filed immediately prior to the documentation required to be filed with respect to the share exchange.

NOTE 19. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS (cont.)

Under the merger agreement, upon the consummation of the merger (1) each share of Sino common stock will be exchanged for one ordinary share of Holdco, except that public stockholders shall be entitled to elect instead to receive a pro rata portion of Sino’s trust account, as provided in Sino’s charter documents, and (2) each Sino right will be exchanged for one-tenth of one share of Holdco.

Under the merger agreement, upon consummation of the share exchange, Wins shareholders will receive (1) an amount of cash remaining in Sino’s trust fund after payment of all amounts to public stockholders that exercise their conversion rights, less $5,000,000 (provided that the cash consideration shall not to exceed $25,000,000) and (2) a number of ordinary shares of Holdco equal to $168,000,000 less the cash consideration divided by $10.00. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Wins shareholders shall have the option to forego receiving any cash consideration and instead receive such consideration in additional ordinary shares of Holdco. If the Wins shareholders were to forego receiving all of the cash consideration, they would receive up to an additional 2,500,000 ordinary shares of Holdco.

The Wins shareholders will not be able to sell any of the ordinary shares of Holdco that they receive as a result of the share exchange until the day preceding the day that is twelve months after the consummation of the transactions (subject to limited exceptions). The restriction on sales will end earlier than such date with respect to 50% of such shares if the closing price of the Holdco ordinary shares exceeds $13.00 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period following the consummation of the transactions. Each Wins shareholder will be required to enter into a lock-up agreement to such effect as a condition to exchanging their capital stock of Wins for the Holdco ordinary shares in connection with the share exchange. These lock-up provisions are substantively identical to the restrictions on transfer imposed on the Sino initial stockholders.

To provide a fund for payment to Holdco with respect to its post-closing rights to indemnification under the merger agreement for breaches of representations and warranties and covenants by Wins and its shareholders and certain other indemnification matters, there will be placed in escrow (with an independent escrow agent) ordinary shares of Holdco equal to 10% of the stock consideration issuable to the Wins shareholders at closing. The aggregate liability for indemnification will not exceed the shares held in escrow. Other than with respect to actual fraud or intentional or willful misrepresentation or omission, Holdco’s rights to indemnification will be its sole remedy with respect to any and all claims for money damages arising out of or relating to the merger agreement.

Sino and Wins plan to complete the transactions promptly after the Sino special meeting, provided that:

         Sino’s stockholders have approved the merger proposal and charter proposals;

         Holders of no more than 3,080,100 of Sino’s public shares have exercised their conversion rights;

         Holdco has received confirmation from Nasdaq that it meets all the requirements for listing on such exchange other than the requirement to have a suffi cient number of round lot holders; and

         the other conditions specified in the merger agreement have been satisfied or waived.

Sino’s board of directors concluded that the transactions met all of the requirements disclosed in the prospectus for its initial public offering, including that the business of Wins had a fair market value of at least 80% of the balance of the funds in the trust account (exclusive of deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable) at the time of execution of the merger agreement.

As a result of the transactions, assuming that no stockholders of Sino elect to convert their public shares into cash in connection with the merger as permitted by Sino’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation and the Wins shareholders elect to receive all of the cash consideration, the Wins shareholders will own approximately 71.4% of the ordinary shares of Holdco to be outstanding immediately after the transactions and the former Sino stockholders will own approximately 28.6% of Holdco’s outstanding ordinary shares. If the maximum number of Sino public

shares is converted into cash and the Wins shareholders elect to forego receiving all the cash consideration, such percentages will be approximately 86.3% and 13.7%, respectively.

If the merger proposal is not approved by Sino’s stockholders at the special meeting, neither the charter proposals nor the incentive compensation plan proposal will be presented at the special meeting for a vote.vw

Except the above events, management has considered all events occurring through the date which the financial statements were available to be issued.

AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION

THIS AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION is made and entered into as of April 24, 2015, by and among Sino Mercury Acquisition Corp, a Delaware corporation (“ Sino ”), Wins Finance Holdings Inc., a Cayman Islands exempted company and wholly owned subsidiary of Sino (“ Holdco ”), Wins Finance Group Limited, a British Virgin Islands international business company (the “ Company ”), and each of Wits Global Limited, Appelo Limited, Glowing Assets Holdings Limited and Cosmic Expert Limited, each of which are British Virgin Islands international companies and shareholders of the Company that, collectively, own 100% of the Company’s outstanding capital and voting shares (“ Company Shareholders ”).

RECITALS

A.       Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement and in accordance with the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “ DGCL ”), the Companies Law (2013 Revision) of the Cayman Islands (the “ Companies Law ”), the International Business Companies Act of the British Virgin Islands (“ IBCA ”), and other applicable law, Sino and the Company intend to enter into a business combination transaction by means of (1) a merger of Sino with and into Holdco, with Holdco being the surviving entity (the “ Merger ”) and (2) immediately following the Merger, an exchange of 100% of the ordinary shares of the Company by the Company Shareholders for ordinary shares of Holdco and cash (which, at the election of the Company Shareholders, may be converted in all or part into additional ordinary shares of Holdco) as provided herein (the “ Share Exchange ” and, together with the Merger, the “ Transactions ”).

B.       The board of directors (including any committee or subgroup thereof) of each of Sino, Holdco and the Company has determined that the Transactions are fair to, and in the best interests of, its respective company and shareholders.

C.       Defined terms used in this Agreement are listed alphabetically in Article IX, together with the Section and, if applicable, paragraph number in which the definition of each such term is located.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the covenants, promises and representations set forth herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

ARTICLE I.

THE TRANSACTIONS

1.1     The Merger . At the Effective Time (as defined in Section 1.3) and subject to and upon the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the applicable provisions of the DGCL and the Companies Law, Sino shall be merged with and into Holdco, the separate corporate existence of Sino shall cease and Holdco shall continue as the surviving corporation in the Merger (“ Surviving Pubco ”). At the Effective Time, the Merger shall be deemed to occur immediately prior to the Share Exchange.

1.2     The Share Exchange . At the Effective Time and immediately following the consummation of the Merger, and subject to and upon the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the applicable provisions of the Companies Law and the IBCA, all of the outstanding ordinary shares of the Company shall be exchanged for ordinary shares of Surviving Pubco (“ Surviving Pubco Ordinary Shares ”) and cash (which, at the election of the Company Shareholders, may be converted in all or part into additional Surviving Pubco Ordinary Shares) as provided herein, and the Company shall become a wholly owned subsidiary of Surviving Pubco.

1.3     Effective Time; Closing . Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, as soon as practicable on or after the Closing Date, the parties hereto shall cause the Transactions to be consummated by filing (a)(i) a certificate of merger (the “ Delaware Certificate of Merger ”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware in accordance with the applicable provisions of the DGCL and (ii) a plan of merger (the “ Plan of Merger ” and, together with the Delaware Certificate of Merger, the “ Certificates of Merger ”) with the Cayman Islands Registrar of Companies in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Companies Law (the time of such filing, or such later time as may be agreed in writing by the Company and Sino and specified in the Plan of Merger being the “ Effective Time ”); and (b) at the Effective Time, shall cause the consummation of the Share Exchange as provided herein. The consummation of each of the Merger and Share Exchange is conditioned upon the consummation of the other. Unless this Agreement shall have been terminated pursuant to Section 8.1, the consummation of the

Annex A-1

Transactions (the “ Closing ”), other than the filing of the Certificates of Merger, shall take place at the offices of Graubard Miller, counsel to Sino, 405 Lexington Avenue, New York, New York 10174, at a time and date to be specified by the parties, which shall be no later than the third (3 rd ) business day after the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Article VI, or at such other time, date and location as the parties hereto agree in writing (the “ Closing Date ”). Closing signatures may be transmitted by facsimile or by emailed PDF file.

1.4     Effect of the Transactions . At the Effective Time, the effect of the Transactions shall be as provided in this Agreement and the applicable provisions of the DGCL, the Companies Law, the IBCA and other applicable provisions of law (collectively, the “ Applicable Law ”). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject thereto, at the Effective Time, (a) all the issued and outstanding securities of Sino shall be automatically converted into securities of Surviving Pubco as provided in Section 1.6, (b) all the property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of Sino shall vest in Surviving Pubco, and all debts, liabilities and duties of Sino shall become the debts, liabilities and duties of Surviving Pubco and (c) the Company shall continue its existence as a wholly owned subsidiary of Surviving Pubco.

1.5     Governing Documents; Officers and Directors . At the Effective Time, (a) the Memorandum and Articles of Association of Holdco shall be in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit A and shall become the Memorandum of Association of Surviving Pubco, (b) the Memorandum and Articles of Association of the Company shall be amended and restated in the form annexed hereto as Exhibits B , (c) the board of directors of each of Surviving Pubco and the Company shall consist of the directors identified on Schedule 1.5 hereto and set forth in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus (as defined in Section 5.1), (d) the officers of Surviving Pubco immediately after the Effective Time shall consist of the officers identified on Schedule 1.5 hereto and (e) the officers of the Company immediately after the Effective Time shall consist of the officers identified on Schedule 1.5 hereto.

1.6     Conversion of Sino Common Stock in the Merger .

(a)      Conversion . Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the following shall occur in the Merger:

(i)       Each share of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of Sino issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (which, for the avoidance of doubt, excludes any Sino Common Stock whose holder has elected to receive a portion of the proceeds held in Sino’s Trust Fund with respect to such Sino Common Stock as provided for in Sino’s Certificate of Incorporation) (“ Sino Common Stock ”) will be automatically converted into one Surviving Pubco Ordinary Share and the holders thereof shall cease to have any further rights as holders of Sino Common Stock. Each certificate that evidenced Sino Common Stock immediately prior to the Merger (“ Sino Common Certificate ”) shall entitle the holder to the applicable number of Surviving Pubco Ordinary Shares into which the Sino Common Stock is convertible according to this Section 1.6(a)(i); provided, however, that each Sino Common Certificate owned by a holder that has validly elected to receive a portion of the proceeds held in Sino’s Trust Fund (as defined in Section 3.25 hereof) shall entitle the holder thereof to receive only such portion of the Trust Account as provided for in Sino’s Certificate of Incorporation.

(ii)      Each right of Sino entitling the holder to automatically receive one-tenth (1/10) of a share of Sino Common Stock upon consummation of the Merger issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (“ Sino Rights ”) will automatically be converted into one-tenth (1/10) of a Surviving Pubco Ordinary Share. Each certificate that evidenced Sino Rights immediately prior to the Merger (“ Sino Rights Certificate ” and together with the Sino Common Certificates, the “ Sino Certificates ”) shall entitle the holder to the applicable number of Surviving Pubco Ordinary Shares into which the Sino Rights are convertible according to this Section 1.6(a)(ii).

(iii)     Each share of Sino Common Stock and each Sino Right held by Sino or the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be cancelled and extinguished without any conversion or payment in respect thereof.

(iv)     Certificates representing Surviving Pubco Ordinary Shares issuable pursuant to Sections 1.6(a)(i) and 1.6(a)(ii) shall be issued to the holders of Sino Certificates upon surrender of the applicable Sino Certificates in the manner provided in Section 1.6(b) (or in the case of a lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, upon delivery of an affidavit (and indemnity, if required) in the manner provided in Section 1.10).

Annex A-2

(v)      All of Surviving Pubco Ordinary Shares issued to the holders of Sino Common Stock and Sino Rights upon consummation of the Merger shall be deemed to have been issued in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the outstanding Sino Common Stock and Sino Rights that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and there shall be no further registration of transfers on the records of Surviving Pubco of such shares of Sino Common Stock or Sino Rights.

(b)      Exchange Procedures .

(i)       Prior to the Effective Time, Surviving Pubco shall appoint Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (“ Continental ”), as agent (the “ Exchange Agent ”), for the purpose of exchanging Surviving Pubco Ordinary Shares for Sino Common Stock and Sino Rights. Upon surrender of the Sino Certificates and delivery of a duly executed letter of transmittal to the Exchange Agent, the holders of such Sino Certificates shall receive in exchange therefor certificates representing Surviving Pubco Ordinary Shares (“ Surviving Pubco Certificates ”) into which their shares of Sino Common Stock and Sino Rights shall be converted at the Effective Time and the Sino Certificates so surrendered shall forthwith be canceled. Surviving Pubco shall make available to the Exchange Agent, as necessary, Surviving Pubco Certificates to be paid in respect of the Sino Certificates surrendered. Until so surrendered, outstanding Sino Certificates will be deemed, from and after the Effective Time, to evidence only the right to receive the merger consideration to which the holder thereof is entitled pursuant to Sections 1.6(a)(i) and 1.6(a)(ii).

(ii)      If certificates representing Surviving Pubco Ordinary Shares are to be issued in a name other than that in which the Sino Certificates surrendered in exchange therefor are registered, it will be a condition of the issuance thereof that the Sino Certificates so surrendered will be properly endorsed and otherwise in proper form for transfer, accompanied by an instrument of transfer that is reasonably satisfactory to Surviving Pubco and that the persons requesting such exchange will have paid to Surviving Pubco, or any agent designated by it, any transfer or other taxes required by reason of the issuance of certificates representing Surviving Pubco Ordinary Shares in any name other than that of the registered holder of the Sino Certificates so surrendered, or established to the satisfaction of Surviving Pubco or any agent designated by it that such tax has been paid or is not payable.

1.7     Share Exchange .

(a)      Exchange . All of the ordinary shares of the Company (“ Company Ordinary Shares ”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be exchanged at the Effective Time into the right of the holders thereof to receive an aggregate of:

(i)       An amount of cash to be paid at the Closing (“ Cash Consideration ”) to the bank account(s) designated by each Company Shareholder equal to (a) the cash remaining in Sino’s Trust Fund (as defined in Section 3.25) after giving effect to the payments required to the shareholders of Sino who elect to have their shares converted to cash in accordance with the provisions of Sino’s Charter Documents less (b) $5,000,000; provided, however , that the Cash Consideration shall not exceed $25,000,000 in the aggregate; and

(ii)      A number of Surviving Pubco Ordinary Shares to be issued at the Closing in the names directed by each Company Shareholder determined by dividing (1) $168,000,000 less the Cash Consideration (including any Converted Cash Consideration (as defined in the paragraph below)) by (2) the Surviving Pubco Redemption Share Price (“ Stock Consideration ”).

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, each Company Shareholder may elect by written notice delivered to Sino at least two business days prior to the Closing to convert all or a portion of the Cash Consideration otherwise payable to it (the “ Converted Cash Consideration ”) into that number of Surviving Pubco Ordinary Shares (the “ Additional Stock Consideration ”) determined by dividing the Converted Cash Consideration by the Surviving Pubco Redemption Share Price.

The Cash Consideration (not including any Converted Cash Consideration) and the Stock Consideration (including any Additional Stock Consideration) are referred to herein together as the “ Exchange Consideration .”

(b)      Determination of Amounts . Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, at the Effective Time, by virtue of the Share Exchange and this Agreement and without any action on the part of Surviving Pubco, Sino, the Company or the Company Shareholders, each Company Ordinary Share issued and outstanding

Annex A-3

immediately prior to the Effective Time will be canceled and the rights pertaining thereto will be automatically converted into the right to receive the following portions of the Exchange Consideration:

(i)       The amount of Cash Consideration to be paid divided by the Company Ordinary Share Number, as same may be adjusted downward for any Converted Cash Consideration; and

(ii)      The number of Surviving Pubco Ordinary Shares to be issued as Stock Consideration divided by the Company Ordinary Share Number, as same may be adjusted upward for any Additional Stock Consideration.

(c)      Surrender of Company Certificates . Subject to Section 1.11, the Exchange Consideration shall be paid and issued to the holders of certificates representing the Company Ordinary Shares (the “ Company Certificates ”) upon surrender of their respective Company Certificates in the manner provided in Section 1.7(f) (or in the case of a lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, upon delivery of an affidavit (and indemnity, if required) in the manner provided in Section 1.10, or in the case of an uncertificated share, by delivery of a copy of the register of members of the Company indicating such holder as entitled to the shares).

(d)      Cancellation of Treasury and Sino-Owned Shares . Each Company Ordinary Share held by Sino or owned by the Company or any direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Sino or the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be canceled and extinguished without any conversion or payment in respect thereof.

(e)      No Further Ownership Rights in Company Ordinary Shares . All the Cash Consideration and Surviving Pubco Ordinary Shares issued to the holders of Company Ordinary Shares upon consummation of the Share Exchange shall be deemed to have been issued in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the outstanding Company Ordinary Shares and there shall be no further registration of transfers on the records of the Company of the Company Ordinary Shares that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(f)      Exchange Procedures .

(i)       At the Effective Time, the holders of Company Ordinary Shares will surrender their Company Certificates representing all of the outstanding Company Ordinary Shares to Surviving Pubco for cancellation together with any related documentation reasonably requested by Surviving Pubco in connection therewith. After the Effective Time, each outstanding Company Certificate will be deemed for all corporate purposes to evidence only the right to receive the applicable portion of the Exchange Consideration in accordance with the provisions of this Article I.

(ii)      Any cash and Surviving Pubco Ordinary Shares comprising the Exchange Consideration shall be issued to the holders of Company Ordinary Shares upon surrender of the Company Certificates as provided for herein or otherwise agreed by the parties. Upon surrender to Surviving Pubco of the Company Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu thereof as provided in Section 1.10, below) for cancellation, Surviving Pubco shall pay and issue, or cause to be paid and issued, to each holder of the Company Certificates such holder’s allocable portion of the cash and Surviving Pubco Ordinary Shares comprising the Exchange Consideration (subject to a portion of Surviving Pubco Ordinary Shares being held in escrow pursuant to Section 1.11 below), for which their Company Ordinary Shares are exchangeable at the Effective Time and any dividends or distributions payable pursuant to Section 1.7(f)(iii), and the Company Certificates so surrendered shall forthwith be canceled. Until so surrendered, outstanding Company Certificates will be deemed, from and after the Effective Time, to evidence only the right to receive the allocable portion of the Exchange Consideration pursuant to this Section 1.7.

(iii)     No dividends or other distributions declared or made with respect to Surviving Pubco Ordinary Shares with a record date after the Effective Time shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Company Certificates with respect to the shares of Surviving Pubco Ordinary Shares represented thereby, and no cash payment in lieu of any fractional share shall be paid to any such holder, until such holder surrenders such Company Certificate in accordance with this Section 1.7(f).

1.8     No Fractional Amounts . No fraction of a Surviving Pubco Ordinary Share will be issued by virtue of the Transactions, and each Person who would otherwise be entitled to a fraction of a Surviving Pubco Ordinary Share (after aggregating all fractional Surviving Pubco Ordinary Shares that otherwise would be received by such holder) shall receive, in lieu of such fractional share, an amount in cash without interest determined by multiplying

Annex A-4

the Surviving Pubco Redemption Share Price by the fraction of a Surviving Pubco Ordinary Share to which such holder would otherwise have been entitled. The Cash Consideration payable to any holder of Company Ordinary Shares by virtue of the Share Exchange shall be rounded up or down to the nearest cent.

1.9     Adjustments . The number of Surviving Pubco Ordinary Shares that Company Shareholders are entitled to be issued as a result of the Share Exchange and the Surviving Pubco Redemption Share Price set forth in Section 1.7(a)(ii) shall be equitably adjusted to reflect appropriately the effect of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend (including any dividend or distribution of securities convertible into Sino Common Stock), cash dividends, reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, combination, exchange of shares or other like change with respect to the Sino Common Stock occurring on or after the date hereof and prior to the Effective Time.

1.10   Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates . In the event that any Sino Certificates or Company Certificates shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, Surviving Pubco shall issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed certificates, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the holder thereof, the certificates representing Surviving Pubco Ordinary Shares that the shares of Sino Common Stock and Sino Rights or Company Ordinary Shares formerly represented by such lost certificates were converted into as a result of the Transactions; provided, however, that as a condition precedent to the issuance of such Surviving Pubco Ordinary Shares and other distributions, the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed certificates shall indemnify Surviving Pubco against any claim that may be made against Surviving Pubco with respect to the certificates alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

1.11   Escrow . As the sole remedy for the indemnification obligations set forth in Article VII of this Agreement, 10% of the Surviving Pubco Ordinary Shares to be issued in the Share Exchange (the “ Escrow Shares ”), without giving effect to any Additional Stock Consideration, shall be deposited in escrow (the “ Escrow Account ”), which shall be allocated between the Company Shareholders in the same proportion as their proportionate share of the total Company Ordinary Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, all in accordance with the terms and conditions of the escrow agreement to be entered into at the Closing between Surviving Pubco, the Representative and Continental (or such other Person as may be agreed by Surviving Pubco and the Representative), as escrow agent (“ Escrow Agent ”), substantially in the form of Exhibit C hereto (the “ Escrow Agreement ”). The Escrow Agreement shall provide that on the earlier of (a) the 30 th day after the date Sino has filed with the SEC its Annual Report for the year ending December 31, 2016 and (b) March 31, 2017 (the “ Escrow Release Date ”), the Escrow Agent shall release all Escrow Shares then remaining in escrow, less that portion of the Escrow Shares applied or reserved with respect to Escrow Claims. Any Escrow Shares that continue to be held after the Escrow Release Date with respect to any unresolved Escrow Claim shall be delivered to the recipients in the same proportions as originally deposited into escrow, promptly upon such resolution, subject to reduction, if any, for the indemnification obligation associated with such resolved Escrow Claim.

1.12   Committee and Representative for Purposes of Escrow Agreement .

(a)      Committee . Prior to the Closing, the board of directors of Sino shall appoint a committee consisting of one or more of its then members to act on behalf of Surviving Pubco to take all necessary actions and make all decisions pursuant to the Escrow Agreement regarding Surviving Pubco’ s right to indemnification pursuant to Article VII hereof.

(d)      Other Limitations . Failure to give prompt Notice of Claim or to provide copies of relevant available documents or to furnish relevant available data shall not constitute a defense (in whole or in part) to any claim for indemnification under this Article VII, except to the extent (and only to the extent that) such failure shall have adversely affected the ability of the Representative to defend against or reduce its liability or caused or increased such liability or otherwise caused the damages for which the Representative is obligated to be greater than such damages would have been had Surviving Pubco given the Representative prompt notice hereunder. So long as the Representative is defending any such action actively and in good faith, Surviving Pubco shall not settle such action.

(e)      Failure to Defend . If the Representative, promptly after receiving a Notice of Claim, fails to defend such Third Party Claim actively and in good faith, Surviving Pubco, at the reasonable cost and expense of the Representative, will (upon further written notice to the Company Shareholders) have the right to undertake the defense, compromise or settlement of such Third Party Claim as it may determine in its reasonable discretion,

In the event that any such insurance proceeds, indemnity payments or other third-party recoveries are realized by an Indemnitee subsequent to receipt by such Indemnitee of any indemnification payment hereunder in respect of the claims to which such insurance proceeds, indemnity payments or other third-party recoveries relate, appropriate refunds shall be made promptly by such Indemnitee of all or the relevant portion of such indemnification payment.

7.4     Limitations on Indemnification .

(a)      Survival . The representations, warranties, covenants and agreements in this Agreement or in any Schedule or certificate delivered in connection with this Agreement shall survive the Closing until the Escrow Release Date (the “ Survival Period ”); provided, however, that any indemnification claim made in writing prior to the termination of the Survival Period shall be preserved despite the subsequent termination of the Survival Period and any claim set forth in a Notice of Claim sent prior to the expiration of such Survival Period shall survive until final resolution thereof.

(c)      Aggregate Amount Limitation . The aggregate liability for Losses hereunder shall not in any event exceed the value of the Escrow Shares and Surviving Pubco shall not have any claim against the Company Shareholders other than for any of such Escrow Shares.

(d)      Duplication of Recovery . Any Losses for which a Person is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement shall be determined without duplication of recovery by reason of the state of facts giving rise to such Losses constituting a breach of more than one representation, warranty, covenant or agreement.

7.5     Exclusive Remedy . The sole remedy of the Indemnitees with respect to any and all claims for money damages arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be pursuant and subject to the requirements of the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article VII (including Section 7.4(c)). Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, nothing contained in this Article VII shall in any way impair, modify or otherwise limit an Indemnitee’s right to bring any claim, demand or suit against the other party based upon such other party’s actual fraud or intentional or willful misconduct, it being understood that a mere breach of a representation and warranty does not constitute fraud and that an Indemnitee may not pursue such claim, demand or suit unless and only to the extent that all of the Escrow Shares have been released.

7.6     Adjustment to Exchange Consideration . Amounts paid for indemnification under Article VII shall be deemed to be an adjustment to the Exchange Consideration paid by Surviving Pubco as a result of the Transactions, except as otherwise required by Law.

Annex A-37

7.7     Representative Capacities; Application of Escrow Shares . The parties acknowledge that the Representative’s obligations under this Article VII are solely as a representative of the Company Shareholders in the manner set forth in the Escrow Agreement with respect to the obligations to indemnify the Indemnitees under this Article VII and that the Representative shall have no personal responsibility for any expenses incurred by him in such capacity and that all payments to Indemnitees as a result of such indemnification obligations shall be made solely from, and to the extent of, the Escrow Shares. Out-of-pocket expenses of the Representative for attorneys’ fees and other costs shall be borne in the first instance by Surviving Pubco. The parties further acknowledge that all actions to be taken by Surviving Pubco pursuant to this Article VII shall be taken on its behalf by the Committee in accordance with the provisions of the Escrow Agreement. The Escrow Agent, pursuant to the Escrow Agreement after the Closing, may apply all or a portion of the Escrow Shares to satisfy any claim for indemnification pursuant to this Article VII. The Escrow Agent will hold the remaining portion of the Escrow Shares until final resolution of all claims for indemnification or disputes relating thereto.

Board of Directors
Sino Mercury Acquisition Corp.
7/F Metropolis Tower, No. 2 Dongsan Street,
Zhongguancun Xi Zone, Haidian District,
Beijing, 100080, China

Dear Members of the Board,

Fairness Opinion of Fair Market Value in Wins Finance Group Limited

Greater China Appraisal Company Limited (“Greater China” or “we”) has been advised that Sino Mercury Acquisition Corp. (“Sino”) is considering entering into a business combination transaction (the “Transaction”) with Wins Finance Group Limited, a British Virgin Islands international business company (the “Company”) pursuant to which Sino will be merged with and into Wins Finance Holdings Inc., a Cayman Islands exempted company and wholly-owned subsidiary of Sino (“Holdco”), with Holdco being the surviving entity (“Surviving Pubco”) (the “Merger”) and immediately following the Merger, an exchange of 100% of the ordinary shares of the Company by the members of the Company (the “Company Shareholders”) for cash and ordinary shares of Holdco as provided herein (the “Share Exchange”). The Merger and Share Exchange will be governed by an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization among Sino, Holdco, the Company and the Company Shareholders (the “Transaction Agreement”).

Pursuant to the Share Exchange, Surviving Pubco will pay to the Company Shareholders an aggregate of USD168,000,000 through a combination of cash (“Cash Consideration”) and ordinary shares of Surviving Pubco (“Stock Consideration” and together with the Cash Consideration, the “Exchange Consideration”).

The Board of Directors of Sino (the “Board”) has requested Greater China’s opinion, as a professional appraisal company, as to (i) the fairness, from a financial point of view, to Sino of the Exchange Consideration to be paid by Surviving Pubco in the Share Exchange pursuant to the Transaction Agreement, and (ii) whether the fair market value of the Company equals or exceeds 80% of the amount held by Sino in trust for the benefit of its public stockholders (excluding deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on the income earned on such funds) (the “Opinion”).

In rendering our Opinion, we have, among other things:

(i)       discussed the Transaction and related matters with Sino’s counsel and reviewed a draft copy of the Transaction Agreement;

(ii)      reviewed the audited financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries for the two years ended December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2013, and unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries for the period from January 1, 2014 through December 31,2014 prepared under the generally accepted accounting principles of China;

(iii)     reviewed and discussed with Sino’s management certain other publicly available information concerning Sino and the Company;

(iv)     held discussions with the Company’s management, including, without limitation, with respect to, estimates of certain transaction charges and the pro forma financial impact of the Transaction on the Company;

(v)      reviewed certain non-publicly available information concerning the Company, including internal financial analyses and forecasts prepared by management of the Company which we were directed by Sino to use for purposes of our analysis, and held discussions with the Company’s senior management regarding the latest business developments;

(vi)     reviewed and analyzed certain publicly available financial and stock market data relating to selected public companies that we considered relevant to our analysis;

Annex B-1

(vii)    performed business valuation (“Valuation”) on the Company as at December 31, 2014 (the “Appraisal Date”)

(viii)   compared the equity values of the Company implied by the various financial analyses we conducted to the amount held in trust by Sino for the benefit of its public stockholders (excluding any deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on the income earned on such funds);

(ix)     participated in certain discussions and negotiations between representatives of Sino and the Company;

(x)      conducted such other financial studies, analyses and investigations and considered such other information as we deemed necessary or appropriate for purposes of our opinion; and

(xi)     took into account our assessment of general economic, market and financial conditions and our experience in other transactions, as well as our experience in securities valuations and our knowledge of the Company’s industry generally.

In rendering our Opinion, we have relied upon and assumed, with your acknowledgement and consent, without independent investigation or verification, the accuracy and completeness of all of the financial and other information that was provided to Greater China by or on behalf of Sino or the Company, or that was otherwise reviewed by Greater China, and have not assumed any responsibility for independently verifying any of such information. With respect to the financial forecasts regarding the Company prepared by management of the Company and supplied to us by Sino and the Company, as applicable, we have assumed, at the direction of Sino, that they were reasonably prepared on the basis reflecting the best currently available estimates and judgments of the management of Sino and the Company, as applicable, as to the future operating and financial performance of the Company and that they provided a reasonable basis upon which we could form our opinion. Such forecasts and projections were not prepared with the expectation of public disclosure. All such projected financial information is based on numerous variables and assumptions that are inherently uncertain, including, without limitation, factors related to general economic and competitive conditions. Accordingly, actual results could vary significantly from those set forth in such projected financial information. Greater China has relied on this projected information without independent verification or analysis and does not in any respect assume any responsibility for the accuracy or completeness thereof. For purposes of the Opinion, we also assumed, at your direction and with your consent, that the per share value of the ordinary shares of Surviving Pubco to be issued to the Company Shareholders in the Share Exchange is equal to the current cash per share held in trust for the benefit of Sino’s public stockholders.

We also confirmed that there were no material changes in the assets, liabilities, financial condition, results of operations, business or prospects of Sino, Holdco or the Company between the Appraisal Date of the Valuation and the date hereof. We did not make or obtain any independent evaluation, appraisal or physical inspection of Sino’s, Holdco’s or the Company’s individual assets or liabilities, nor have we been furnished with any such evaluation or appraisal. Estimates of values of companies and assets do not purport to be appraisals or necessarily reflect the prices at which companies or assets may actually be sold. Because such estimates are inherently subject to uncertainty and assumptions, Greater China assumes no responsibility for their accuracy.

We have assumed, with your consent, that there are no factors that would delay or subject to any adverse conditions any necessary regulatory or governmental approval and that all conditions to the Transaction will be satisfied and not waived. In addition, we have assumed that the definitive Transaction Agreement will not differ materially from the draft we reviewed. We have also assumed that the Transaction will be consummated substantially on the terms and conditions described in the Transaction Agreement, without any waiver of material terms or conditions by Sino or any other party and without any adjustment to the Exchange Consideration, and that obtaining any necessary regulatory approvals or satisfying any other conditions for consummation of the Transaction will not have an adverse effect on Sino, the Company or the Transaction. We have assumed that the Transaction will be consummated in a manner that complies with the applicable provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act and all other applicable United States federal and state statutes, rules and regulations and all other laws applicable to Sino, Holdco, the Company, and Surviving Pubco. We have further assumed that Sino has relied upon the advice of its counsel, independent accountants and other advisors (other than Greater China) as to all legal, financial reporting, tax, accounting and regulatory matters with respect to Sino, Holdco, the Company, the Transaction and the Transaction Agreement.

Annex B-2

Our Opinion is limited to whether, as of the date hereof, the Exchange Consideration to be paid by Surviving Pubco in the Share Exchange is fair to Sino, from a financial point of view, and whether the fair market value of the Company equals or exceeds 80% of the amount held by Sino in trust for the benefit of its public stockholders (excluding any deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on the income earned on such funds) and does not address any other terms, aspects or implications of the Transaction, including, without limitation, the form or structure of the Transaction, any consequences of the Transaction on Sino, its stockholders, creditors or any other constituencies of Sino, or any terms, aspects or implications of any voting, support, stockholder, or other agreements, arrangements or understandings contemplated or entered into in connection with the Transaction or otherwise. Our Opinion also does not consider, address or include: (i) any other strategic alternatives currently (or which have been or may be) contemplated by Sino; (ii) the legal, tax or accounting consequences of the Transaction on Sino, its stockholders or any other party; (iii) the fairness of the amount or nature of any compensation to any officers, directors or employees of the Company, or class of such person, relative to the compensation paid to any other party; or (iv) whether Sino has sufficient cash, available lines of credit or other sources of funds to enable it to pay the Exchange Consideration in the Share Exchange at the closing of the Transaction. Furthermore, we are not expressing any opinion herein as to the prices, trading range or volume at which Sino’s securities will trade following public announcement or consummation of the Transaction.

Our Opinion is necessarily based on economic, market, financial and other conditions as they exist on, and on the information made available to us by or on behalf of the Company or their respective advisors, or information otherwise reviewed by Greater China, as of the date of this Opinion. It is understood that subsequent developments may affect the conclusion reached in this Opinion and that Greater China does not have any obligation to update, revise or reaffirm this Opinion. Further, the credit, financial and stock markets are often affected by periods of volatility and we express no opinion or view as to any potential effects of such volatility on Sino, the Company or the Transaction. Our Opinion is for the information of, and directed to, the Board for its information and assistance in connection with its consideration of the financial terms of the Transaction. Our Opinion does not constitute a recommendation to the Board as to how the Board should vote on the Transaction or to any stockholder of Sino or member of the Company as to how any such stockholder or member should vote at any stockholders’ or members’ meeting at which the Transaction may be considered, or whether or not any stockholder of Sino or member of the Company should enter into a voting, members’, stockholders’ or affiliates’ agreement with respect to the Transaction, or exercise any redemption or repurchase or exchange rights that may be available to such stockholder or member. In addition, the Opinion does not compare the relative merits of the Transaction with any other alternative transactions or business strategies which may have been available to Sino and does not address the underlying business decision of the Board or Sino to proceed with or effect the Transaction. We are not legal, tax, regulatory or bankruptcy advisors. We have not considered any potential legislative or regulatory changes currently being considered or recently enacted by the United States Congress, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), or any other regulatory bodies, or any changes in accounting methods, or generally accepted accounting principles that may be adopted by the SEC or the Financial Accounting Standards Board or generally accepted accounting principles in China. Our Opinion is not a solvency opinion and does not in any way address the solvency or financial condition of Sino or the Company.

Greater China, as part of its appraisal services, is regularly engaged in the independent valuation of businesses and securities in connection with mergers and acquisitions of listed and unlisted securities and valuations for estate, corporate and other purposes. We have acted as valuer to Sino in connection with the Transaction and will receive a fee for our services upon the delivery of signed valuation report disregard of the completion of the Transaction (the “Valuation Fee”). We have also acted as valuer to the Board and will receive a fee upon the delivery of this Opinion that is not contingent upon consummation of the Transaction and is not creditable against any Valuation Fee. We will not receive any other significant payment or compensation contingent upon the successful consummation of the Transaction. In addition, Sino has agreed to indemnify us for certain liabilities arising out of our engagement. Greater China may seek to provide appraisal services to Sino or their respective affiliates in the future, for which we would seek customary compensation. In the ordinary course of business, Greater China and our clients may effect transactions in the equity securities of Sino and may at any time hold a long or short position in such securities.

Our Opinion may not be published or otherwise used or referred to, nor shall any public reference to Greater China be made, without our prior written consent, except in accordance with the terms and conditions of Greater China’s engagement letter agreement with Sino.

Annex B-3

Based upon and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion that, as of the date hereof, (i) the Exchange Consideration to be paid by Surviving Pubco in the Share Exchange pursuant to the Transaction Agreement is fair to Sino, from a financial point of view, and (ii) the fair market value of the Company (measured by the enterprise values implied by the various financial analyses we conducted in connection with our Opinion) equals or exceeds 80% of the amount held by Sino in trust for the benefit of its public stockholders (excluding any deferred underwriters commissions and taxes payable on the income earned on such funds).

Very truly yours,

5            Closing Register of Members or Fixing Record Date

5.1        For the purpose of determining Members entitled to notice of, or to vote at any meeting of Members or any adjournment thereof, or Members entitled to receive payment of any Dividend or other distribution, or in order to make a determination of Members for any other purpose, the Directors may provide that the Register of Members shall be closed for transfers for a stated period which shall not in any case exceed forty days.

5.2        In lieu of, or apart from, closing the Register of Members, the Directors may fix in advance or arrears a date as the record date for any such determination of Members entitled to notice of, or to vote at any meeting of the Members or any adjournment thereof, or for the purpose of determining the Members entitled to receive payment of any Dividend or other distribution, or in order to make a determination of Members for any other purpose.

5.3        If the Register of Members is not so closed and no record date is fixed for the determination of Members entitled to notice of, or to vote at, a meeting of Members or Members entitled to receive payment of a Dividend or other distribution, the date on which notice of the meeting is sent or the date on which the resolution of the Directors resolving to pay such Dividend or other distribution is passed, as the case may be, shall be the record date for such determination of Members. When a determination of Members entitled to vote at any meeting of Members has been made as provided in this Article, such determination shall apply to any adjournment thereof.

6            Certificates for Shares

6.1        A Member shall only be entitled to a share certificate if the Directors resolve that share certificates shall be issued. Share certificates representing Shares, if any, shall be in such form as the Directors may determine. Share certificates shall be signed by one or more Directors or other person authorised by the Directors. The Directors may authorise certificates to be issued with the authorised signature(s) affixed by mechanical process. All certificates for Shares shall be consecutively numbered or otherwise identified and shall specify the Shares to which they relate. All certificates surrendered to the Company for transfer shall be cancelled and subject to the Articles no new certificate shall be issued until the former certificate representing a like number of relevant Shares shall have been surrendered and cancelled.

6.2        The Company shall not be bound to issue more than one certificate for Shares held jointly by more than one person and delivery of a certificate to one joint holder shall be a sufficient delivery to all of them.

6.3        If a share certificate is defaced, worn out, lost or destroyed, it may be renewed on such terms (if any) as to evidence and indemnity and on the payment of such expenses reasonably incurred by the Company in investigating evidence, as the Directors may prescribe, and (in the case of defacement or wearing out) upon delivery of the old certificate.

6.4        Every share certificate sent in accordance with the Articles will be sent at the risk of the Member or other person entitled to the certificate. The Company will not be responsible for any share certificate lost or delayed in the course of delivery.

7            Transfer of Shares

7.1        Subject to Article 3.1, Shares are transferable subject to the consent of the Directors who may, in their absolute discretion, decline to register any transfer of Shares without giving any reason. If the Directors refuse to register a transfer they shall notify the transferee within two months of such refusal.

Annex C-10

7.2        The instrument of transfer of any Share shall be in writing and shall be executed by or on behalf of the transferor (and if the Directors so require, signed by or on behalf of the transferee). The transferor shall be deemed to remain the holder of a Share until the name of the transferee is entered in the Register of Members.

8            Redemption, Repurchase and Surrender of Shares

8.1        Subject to the provisions of the Statute the Company may issue Shares that are to be redeemed or are liable to be redeemed at the option of the Member or the Company. The redemption of such Shares shall be effected in such manner and upon such other terms as the Company may, by Special Resolution, determine before the issue of the Shares.

8.2        Subject to the provisions of the Statute, the Company may purchase its own Shares (including any redeemable Shares) in such manner and on such other terms as the Directors may agree with the relevant Member.

8.3        The Company may make a payment in respect of the redemption or purchase of its own Shares in any manner permitted by the Statute, including out of capital.

8.4        The Directors may accept the surrender for no consideration of any fully paid Share.

9            Treasury Shares

9.1        The Directors may, prior to the purchase, redemption or surrender of any Share, determine that such Share shall be held as a Treasury Share.

9.2        The Directors may determine to cancel a Treasury Share or transfer a Treasury Share on such terms as they think proper (including, without limitation, for nil consideration).

10          Variation of Rights of Shares

10.1     If at any time the share capital of the Company is divided into different classes of Shares, all or any of the rights attached to any class (unless otherwise provided by the terms of issue of the Shares of that class) may, whether or not the Company is being wound up, be varied without the consent of the holders of the issued Shares of that class where such variation is considered by the Directors not to have a material adverse effect upon such rights; otherwise, any such variation shall be made only with the consent in writing of the holders of not less than two thirds of the issued Shares of that class, or with the sanction of a resolution passed by a majority of not less than two thirds of the votes cast at a separate meeting of the holders of the Shares of that class. For the avoidance of doubt, the Directors reserve the right, notwithstanding that any such variation may not have a material adverse effect, to obtain consent from the holders of Shares of the relevant class. To any such meeting all the provisions of the Articles relating to general meetings shall apply mutatis mutandis , except that the necessary quorum shall be one person holding or representing by proxy at least one third of the issued Shares of the class and that any holder of Shares of the class present in person or by proxy may demand a poll.

10.2     For the purposes of a separate class meeting, the Directors may treat two or more or all the classes of Shares as forming one class of Shares if the Directors consider that such class of Shares would be affected in the same way by the proposals under consideration, but in any other case shall treat them as separate classes of Shares.

Annex C-11

10.3     The rights conferred upon the holders of the Shares of any class issued with preferred or other rights shall not, unless otherwise expressly provided by the terms of issue of the Shares of that class, be deemed to be varied by the creation or issue of further Shares ranking pari passu therewith.

11          Commission on Sale of Shares

The Company may, in so far as the Statute permits, pay a commission to any person in consideration of his subscribing or agreeing to subscribe (whether absolutely or conditionally) or procuring or agreeing to procure subscriptions (whether absolutely or conditionally) for any Shares. Such commissions may be satisfied by the payment of cash and/or the issue of fully or partly paid-up Shares. The Company may also on any issue of Shares pay such brokerage as may be lawful.

12          Non Recognition of Trusts

The Company shall not be bound by or compelled to recognise in any way (even when notified) any equitable, contingent, future or partial interest in any Share, or (except only as is otherwise provided by the Articles or the Statute) any other rights in respect of any Share other than an absolute right to the entirety thereof in the holder.

13          Lien on Shares

13.1     The Company shall have a first and paramount lien on all Shares (whether fully paid-up or not) registered in the name of a Member (whether solely or jointly with others) for all debts, liabilities or engagements to or with the Company (whether presently payable or not) by such Member or his estate, either alone or jointly with any other person, whether a Member or not, but the Directors may at any time declare any Share to be wholly or in part exempt from the provisions of this Article. The registration of a transfer of any such Share shall operate as a waiver of the Company’s lien thereon. The Company’s lien on a Share shall also extend to any amount payable in respect of that Share.

13.2     The Company may sell, in such manner as the Directors think fit, any Shares on which the Company has a lien, if a sum in respect of which the lien exists is presently payable, and is not paid within fourteen clear days after notice has been received or deemed to have been received by the holder of the Shares, or to the person entitled to it in consequence of the death or bankruptcy of the holder, demanding payment and stating that if the notice is not complied with the Shares may be sold.

13.3     To give effect to any such sale the Directors may authorise any person to execute an Instrument of transfer of the Shares sold to, or in accordance with the directions of, the purchaser. The purchaser or his nominee shall be registered as the holder of the Shares comprised in any such transfer, and he shall not be bound to see to the application of the purchase money, nor shall his title to the Shares be affected by any irregularity or Invalidity in the sale or the exercise of the Company’s power of sale under the Articles.

13.4     The net proceeds of such sale after payment of costs, shall be applied in payment of such part of the amount in respect of which the lien exists as is presently payable and any balance shall (subject to a like lien for sums not presently payable as existed upon the Shares before the sale) be paid to the person entitled to the Shares at the date of the sale.

Annex C-12

14          Call on Shares

14.1     Subject to the terms of the allotment and issue of any Shares, the Directors may make calls upon the Members in respect of any monies unpaid on their Shares (whether in respect of par value or premium), and each Member shall (subject to receiving at least fourteen clear days’ notice specifying the time or times of payment) pay to the Company at the time or times so specified the amount called on the Shares. A call may be revoked or postponed, in whole or in part, as the Directors may determine. A call may be required to be paid by instalments. A person upon whom a call is made shall remain liable for calls made upon him notwithstanding the subsequent transfer of the Shares in respect of which the call was made.

14.2     A call shall be deemed to have been made at the time when the resolution of the Directors authorising such call was passed.

14.3     The joint holders of a Share shall be jointly and severally liable to pay all calls in respect thereof.

14.4     If a call remains unpaid after it has become due and payable, the person from whom it is due shall pay interest on the amount unpaid from the day it became due and payable until it is paid at such rate as the Directors may determine (and in addition all expenses that have been incurred by the Company by reason of such non-payment), but the Directors may waive payment of the interest or expenses wholly or in part.

14.5     An amount payable in respect of a Share on issue or allotment or at any fixed date, whether on account of the par value of the Share or premium or otherwise, shall be deemed to be a call and if it is not paid all the provisions of the Articles shall apply as if that amount had become due and payable by virtue of a call.

14.6     The Directors may issue Shares with different terms as to the amount and times of payment of calls, or the interest to be paid.

14.7     The Directors may, if they think fit, receive an amount from any Member willing to advance all or any part of the monies uncalled and unpaid upon any Shares held by him, and may (until the amount would otherwise become payable) pay interest at such rate as may be agreed upon between the Directors and the Member paying such amount in advance.

14.8     No such amount paid in advance of calls shall entitle the Member paying such amount to any portion of a Dividend or other distribution payable in respect of any period prior to the date upon which such amount would, but for such payment, become payable.

15          Forfeiture of Shares

15.1     If a call or instalment of a call remains unpaid after it has become due and payable the Directors may give to the person from whom it is due not less than fourteen clear days’ notice requiring payment of the amount unpaid together with any interest which may have accrued and any expenses incurred by the Company by reason of such non-payment. The notice shall specify where payment is to be made and shall state that if the notice is not complied with the Shares in respect of which the call was made will be liable to be forfeited.

15.2     If the notice is not complied with, any Share in respect of which it was given may, before the payment required by the notice has been made, be forfeited by a resolution of the Directors, Such forfeiture shall include all Dividends, other distributions or other monies payable in respect of the forfeited Share and not paid before the forfeiture.

Annex C-13

15.3     A forfeited Share may be sold, re-allotted or otherwise disposed of on such terms and in such manner as the Directors think fit and at any time before a sale, re-allotment or disposition the forfeiture may be cancelled on such terms as the Directors think fit. Where for the purposes of its disposal a forfeited Share is to be transferred to any person the Directors may authorise some person to execute an instrument of transfer of the Share in favour of that person.

15.4     A person any of whose Shares have been forfeited shall cease to be a Member in respect of them and shall surrender to the Company for cancellation the certificate for the Shares forfeited and shall 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 those Shares together with interest at such rate as the Directors may determine, but his liability shall cease if and when the Company shall have received payment in full of all monies due and payable by him in respect of those Shares.

15.5     A certificate in writing under the hand of one Director or officer of the Company that a Share has been forfeited on a specified date shall be conclusive evidence of the facts stated in it as against all persons claiming to be entitled to the Share. The certificate shall (subject to the execution of an instrument of transfer) constitute a good title to the Share and the person to whom the Share is sold or otherwise disposed of shall not be bound to see to the application of the purchase money, if any, nor shall his title to the Share be affected by any irregularity or invalidity in the proceedings in reference to the forfeiture, sale or disposal of the Share.

15.6     The provisions of the Articles as to forfeiture shall apply in the case of non payment of any sum which, by the terms of issue of a Share, becomes payable at a fixed time, whether on account of the par value of the Share or by way of premium as if it had been payable by virtue of a call duly made and notified.

16          Transmission of Shares

16.1     If a Member dies the survivor or survivors (where he was a joint holder) or his legal personal representatives (where he was a sole holder), shall be the only persons recognised by the Company as having any title to his Shares. The estate of a deceased Member is not thereby released from any liability in respect of any Share, for which he was a joint or sole holder.

16.2     Any person becoming entitled to a Share in consequence of the death or bankruptcy or liquidation or dissolution of a Member (or in any other way than by transfer) may, upon such evidence being produced as may be required by the Directors, elect, by a notice in writing sent by him to the Company, either to become the holder of such Share or to have some person nominated by him registered as the holder of such Share. If he elects to have another person registered as the holder of such Share he shall sign an instrument of transfer of that Share to that person. The Directors shall, in either case, have the same right to decline or suspend registration as they would have had in the case of a transfer of the Share by the relevant Member before his death or bankruptcy or liquidation or dissolution, as the case may be.

16.3     A person becoming entitled to a Share by reason of the death or bankruptcy or liquidation or dissolution of a Member (or in any other case than by transfer) shall be entitled to the same Dividends, other distributions and other advantages to which he would be entitled if he were the holder of such Share. However, he shall not, before becoming a Member in respect of a Share, be entitled in respect of it to exercise any right conferred by membership in relation to general meetings of the Company and the Directors may at any time give notice requiring any such person to elect either to be registered himself or to have some person nominated by him

Annex C-14

be registered as the holder of the Share (but the Directors shall, in either case, have the same right to decline or suspend registration as they would have had in the case of a transfer of the Share by the relevant Member before his death or bankruptcy or liquidation or dissolution or any other case than by transfer, as the case may be). If the notice is not complied with within ninety days of being received or deemed to be received (as determined pursuant to the Articles) the Directors may thereafter withhold payment of all Dividends, other distributions, bonuses or other monies payable in respect of the Share until the requirements of the notice have been complied with.

17         Amendments of Memorandum and Articles of Association and Alteration of Capital

17.1     The Company may by Ordinary Resolution:

(a)        Increase its share capital by such sum as the Ordinary Resolution shall prescribe and with such rights, priorities and privileges annexed thereto, as the Company in general meeting may determine;

(b)        consolidate and divide all or any of its share capital into Shares of larger amount than its existing Shares;

(c)         convert all or any of its paid-up Shares into stock, and reconvert that stock into paid-up Shares of any denomination;

(d)        by subdivision of its existing Shares or any of them divide the whole or any part of its share capital into Shares of smaller amount than is fixed by the Memorandum or into Shares without par value; and

(e)         cancel any Shares that at the date of the passing of the Ordinary Resolution have not been taken or agreed to be taken by any person and diminish the amount of its share capital by the amount of the Shares so cancelled.

17.2     All new Shares created in accordance with the provisions of the preceding Article shall be subject to the same provisions of the Articles with reference to the payment of calls, liens, transfer, transmission, forfeiture and otherwise as the Shares in the original share capital.

17.3     Subject to the provisions of the Statute and the provisions of the Articles as regards the matters to be dealt with by Ordinary Resolution, the Company may by Special Resolution:

(a)        change its name;

(b)        alter or add to the Articles;

(c)         alter or add to the Memorandum with respect to any objects, powers or other matters specified therein; and

(d)        reduce its share capital or any capital redemption reserve fund.

18          Offices and Places of Business

Annex C-15

19          General Meetings

19.1     All general meetings other than annual general meetings shall be called extraordinary general meetings.

19.2     The Company may, but shall not (unless required by the Statute) be obliged to, in each year hold a general meeting as its annual general meeting, and shall specify the meeting as such in the notices calling it. Any annual general meeting shall be held at such time and place as the Directors shall appoint and if no other time and place is prescribed by them, it shall be held at the Registered Office on the second Wednesday in December of each year at ten o’clock in the morning. At these meetings the report of the Directors (if any) shall be presented.

19.3     The Directors may call general meetings, and they shall on a Members’ requisition forthwith proceed to convene an extraordinary general meeting of the Company.

19.4     A Members’ requisition is a requisition of Members holding at the date of deposit of the requisition not less than ten per cent, in par value of the issued Shares which as at that date carry the right to vote at general meetings of the Company.

19.5     The Members’ requisition must state the objects of the meeting and must be signed by the requisitionists and deposited at the Registered Office, and may consist of several documents in like form each signed by one or more requisitionists.

19.6     If there are no Directors as at the date of the deposit of the Members’ requisition or if the Directors do not within twenty-one days from the date of the deposit of the Members’ requisition duly proceed to convene a general meeting to be held within a further twenty-one days, the requisitionists, or any of them representing more than one-half of the total voting rights of all of the requisitionists, may themselves convene a general meeting, but any meeting so convened shall be held no later than the day which falls three months after the expiration of the said twenty-one day period.

19.7     A general meeting convened as aforesaid by requisitionists shall be convened in the same manner as nearly as possible as that in which general meetings are to be convened by Directors.

20          Notice of General Meetings

20.1     At least five clear days’ notice shall be given of any general meeting. Every notice shall specify the place, the day and the hour of the meeting and the general nature of the business to be conducted at the general meeting and shall be given in the manner hereinafter mentioned or in such other manner if any as may be prescribed by the Company, provided that a general meeting of the Company shall, whether or not the notice specified in this Article has been given and whether or not the provisions of the Articles regarding general meetings have been complied with, be deemed to have been duly convened if it is so agreed:

(a)        in the case of an annual general meeting, by all of the Members entitled to attend and vote thereat; and

(b)        in the case of an extraordinary general meeting, by a majority in number of the Members having a right to attend and vote at the meeting, together holding not less than ninety five per cent, in par value of the Shares giving that right.

Annex C-16

20.2     The accidental omission to give notice of a general meeting to, or the non receipt of notice of a general meeting by, any person entitled to receive such notice shall not invalidate the proceedings of that general meeting.

21          Proceedings at General Meetings

21.1     No business shall be transacted at any general meeting unless a quorum is present. Two Members being individuals present in person or by proxy or if a corporation or other non-natural person by its duly authorised representative or proxy shall be a quorum unless the Company has only one Member entitled to vote at such general meeting in which case the quorum shall be that one Member present in person or by proxy or (in the case of a corporation or other non-natural person) by its duly authorised representative or proxy.

21.2     A person may participate at a general meeting by conference telephone or other communications equipment by means of which all the persons participating in the meeting can communicate with each other.

In such event the Directors shall do all acts and things required to give effect to such capitalisation, with full power given to the Directors to make such provisions as they think fit in the case of Shares becoming distributable in fractions (including provisions whereby the benefit of fractional entitlements accrue to the Company rather than to the Members concerned).

Where a notice is sent by cable, telex or fax, service of the notice shall be deemed to be effected by properly addressing and sending such notice and shall be deemed to have been received on the same day that it was transmitted. Where a notice is given by e-mail service shall be deemed to be effected by transmitting the e-mail to the e-mail address provided by the intended recipient and shall be

Annex C-27

deemed to have been received on the same day that it was sent, and it shall not be necessary for the receipt of the e-mail to be acknowledged by the recipient.

43.3     A notice may be given by the Company to the person or persons which the Company has been advised are entitled to a Share or Shares in consequence of the death or bankruptcy of a Member in the same manner as other notices which are required to be given under the Articles and shall be addressed to them by name, or by the title of representatives of the deceased, or trustee of the bankrupt, or by any like description at the address supplied for that purpose by the persons claiming to be so entitled, or at the option of the Company by giving the notice in any manner in which the same might have been given if the death or bankruptcy had not occurred.

43.4     Notice of every general meeting shall be given in any manner authorised by the Articles to every holder of Shares carrying an entitlement to receive such notice on the record date for such meeting except that in the case of joint holders the notice shall be sufficient if given to the joint holder first named in the Register of Members and every person upon whom the ownership of a Share devolves by reason of his being a legal personal representative or a trustee in bankruptcy of a Member where the Member but for his death or bankruptcy would be entitled to receive notice of the meeting, and no other person shall be entitled to receive notices of general meetings.

44          Winding Up

44.1     If the Company shall be wound up the liquidator shall apply the assets of the Company in satisfaction of creditors’ claims in such manner and order as such liquidator thinks fit. Subject to the rights attaching to any Shares, in a winding up:

(a)        if the assets available for distribution amongst the Members shall be insufficient to repay the whole of the Company’s issued share capital, such assets shall be distributed so that, as nearly as may be, the losses shall be borne by the Members in proportion to the par value of the Shares held by them; or

(b)        if the assets available for distribution amongst the Members shall be more than sufficient to repay the whole of the Company’s issued share capital at the commencement of the winding up, the surplus shall be distributed amongst the Members in proportion to the par value of the Shares held by them at the commencement of the winding up subject to a deduction from those Shares in respect of which there are monies due, of all monies payable to the Company for unpaid calls or otherwise.

44.2     If the Company shall be wound up the liquidator may, subject to the rights attaching to any Shares and with the sanction of a Special Resolution of the Company and any other sanction required by the Statute, divide amongst the Members in kind the whole or any part of the assets of the Company (whether such assets shall consist of property of the same kind or not) and may for that purpose value any assets and determine how the division shall be carried out as between the Members or different classes of Members. The liquidator may, with the like sanction, vest the whole or any part of such assets in trustees upon such trusts for the benefit of the Members as the liquidator, with the like sanction, shall think fit, but so that no Member shall be compelled to accept any asset upon which there is a liability.

45          Indemnity and Insurance

45.1     Every Director and officer of the Company (which for the avoidance of doubt, shall not include auditors of the Company), together with every former Director and former officer of the Company (each an

Annex C-28

“Indemnified Person”) shall be indemnified out of the assets of the Company against any liability, action, proceeding, claim, demand, costs, damages or expenses, including legal expenses, whatsoever which they or any of them may incur as a result of any act or failure to act in carrying out their functions other than such liability (if any) that they may incur by reason of their own actual fraud or wilful default. No Indemnified Person shall be liable to the Company for any loss or damage incurred by the Company as a result (whether direct or indirect) of the carrying out of their functions unless that liability arises through the actual fraud or wilful default of such Indemnified Person. No person shall be found to have committed actual fraud or wilful default under this Article unless or until a court of competent jurisdiction shall have made a finding to that effect.

45.2     The Company shall advance to each Indemnified Person reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses incurred in connection with the defence of any action, suit, proceeding or investigation involving such Indemnified Person for which indemnity will or could be sought. In connection with any advance of any expenses hereunder, the Indemnified Person shall execute an undertaking to repay the advanced amount to the Company if it shall be determined by final judgment or other final adjudication that such Indemnified Person was not entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article. If it shall be determined by a final judgment or other final adjudication that such Indemnified Person was not entitled to indemnification with respect to such judgment, costs or expenses, then such party shall not be indemnified with respect to such judgment, costs or expenses and any advancement shall be returned to the Company (without interest) by the Indemnified Person.

45.3     The Directors, on behalf of the Company, may purchase and maintain insurance for the benefit of any Director or other officer of the Company against any liability which, by virtue of any rule of law, would otherwise attach to such person in respect of any negligence, default, breach of duty or breach of trust of which such person may be guilty in relation to the Company.

46          Financial Year

Unless the Directors otherwise prescribe, the financial year of the Company shall end on 31st December in each year and, following the year of Incorporation, shall begin on 1st January in each year.

47          Transfer by Way of Continuation

If the Company is exempted as defined in the Statute, it shall, subject to the provisions of the Statute and with the approval of a Special Resolution, have the power to register by way of continuation as a body corporate under the laws of any jurisdiction outside the Cayman Islands and to be deregistered in the Cayman Islands.

48          Mergers and Consolidations

The Company shall, with the approval of a Special Resolution, have the power to merge or consolidate with one or more constituent companies (as defined in the Statute), upon such terms as the Directors may determine.

5.1        For the purpose of determining Members entitled to notice of, or to vote at any meeting of Members or any adjournment thereof, or Members entitled to receive payment of any Dividend or other distribution, or in order to make a determination of Members for any other purpose, the Directors may provide that the Register of Members shall be closed for transfers for a stated period which shall not in any case exceed forty days.

5.2        In lieu of, or apart from, closing the Register of Members, the Directors may fix in advance or arrears a date as the record date for any such determination of Members entitled to notice of, or to vote at any meeting of

Annex C-36

the Members or any adjournment thereof, or for the purpose of determining the Members entitled to receive payment of any Dividend or other distribution, or in order to make a determination of Members for any other purpose.

When a determination of Members entitled to vote at any meeting of Members has been made as provided in this Article, such determination shall apply to any adjournment thereof.

6            Certificates for Shares

6.1        A Member shall only be entitled to a share certificate if the Directors resolve that share certificates shall be issued. Share certificates representing Shares, if any, shall be in such form as the Directors may determine. Share certificates shall be signed by one or more Directors or other person authorised by the Directors.

All certificates for Shares shall be consecutively numbered or otherwise identified and shall specify the Shares to which they relate.

6.3        If a share certificate is defaced, worn out, lost or destroyed, it may be renewed on such terms (if any) as to evidence and indemnity and on the payment of such expenses reasonably incurred by the Company in investigating evidence, as the Directors may prescribe, and (in the case of defacement or wearing out) upon delivery of the old certificate.

6.4        Every share certificate sent in accordance with the Articles will be sent at the risk of the Member or other person entitled to the certificate. The Company will not be responsible for any share certificate lost or delayed in the course of delivery.

7           Transfer of Shares

7.1        Subject to Article 3.1, Shares are transferable subject to the consent of the Directors who may, in their absolute discretion, decline to register any transfer of Shares without giving any reason. If the Directors refuse to register a transfer they shall notify the transferee within two months of such refusal.

7.2        The instrument of transfer of any Share shall be in writing and shall be executed by or on behalf of the transferor (and if the Directors so require, signed by or on behalf of the transferee). The transferor shall be deemed to remain the holder of a Share until the name of the transferee is entered in the Register of Members.

8           Redemption, Repurchase and Surrender of Shares

8.1        Subject to the provisions of the Statute the Company may issue Shares that are to be redeemed or are liable to be redeemed at the option of the Member or the Company. The redemption of such Shares shall be effected

Annex C-37

in such manner and upon such other terms as the Company may, by Special Resolution, determine before the issue of the Shares.

8.2        Subject to the provisions of the Statute, the Company may purchase its own Shares (including any redeemable Shares) in such manner and on such other terms as the Directors may agree with the relevant Member.

8.3        The Company may make a payment in respect of the redemption or purchase of its own Shares in any manner permitted by the Statute, Including out of capital.

8.4        The Directors may accept the surrender for no consideration of any fully paid Share.

9            Treasury Shares

9.1        The Directors may, prior to the purchase, redemption or surrender of any Share, determine that such Share shall be held as a Treasury Share.

9.2        The Directors may determine to cancel a Treasury Share or transfer a Treasury Share on such terms as they think proper (including, without limitation, for nil consideration).

10          Variation of Rights of Shares

10.1     If at any time the share capital of the Company is divided into different classes of Shares, all or any of the rights attached to any class (unless otherwise provided by the terms of issue of the Shares of that class) may, whether or not the Company is being wound up, be varied without the consent of the holders of the issued Shares of that class where such variation is considered by the Directors not to have a material adverse effect upon such rights; otherwise, any such variation shall be made only with the consent in writing of the holders of not less than two thirds of the issued Shares of that class, or with the sanction of a resolution passed by a majority of not less than two thirds of the votes cast at a separate meeting of the holders of the Shares of that class. For the avoidance of doubt, the Directors reserve the right, notwithstanding that any such variation may not have a material adverse effect, to obtain consent from the holders of Shares of the relevant class. To any such meeting all the provisions of the Articles relating to general meetings shall apply mutatis mutandis , except that the necessary quorum shall be one person holding or representing by proxy at least one third of the issued Shares of the class and that any holder of Shares of the class present in person or by proxy may demand a poll.

10.2     For the purposes of a separate class meeting, the Directors may treat two or more or all the classes of Shares as forming one class of Shares if the Directors consider that such class of Shares would be affected in the same way by the proposals under consideration, but in any other case shall treat them as separate classes of Shares.

10.3     The rights conferred upon the holders of the Shares of any class issued with preferred or other rights shall not, unless otherwise expressly provided by the terms of issue of the Shares of that class, be deemed to be varied by the creation or issue of further Shares ranking pari passu therewith.

11          Commission on Sale of Shares

The Company may, in so far as the Statute permits, pay a commission to any person in consideration of his subscribing or agreeing to subscribe (whether absolutely or conditionally) or procuring or agreeing to procure subscriptions (whether absolutely or conditionally) for any Shares. Such commissions may be satisfied by the payment of cash and/or the issue of fully or partly paid-up Shares. The Company may also on any issue of Shares pay such brokerage as may be lawful.

Annex C-38

12          Non Recognition of Trusts

The Company shall not be bound by or compelled to recognise in any way (even when notified) any equitable, contingent, future or partial interest in any Share, or (except only as is otherwise provided by the Articles or the Statute) any other rights in respect of any Share other than an absolute right to the entirety thereof in the holder.

13          Lien on Shares

13.1     The Company shall have a first and paramount lien on all Shares (whether fully paid-up or not) registered in the name of a Member (whether solely or jointly with others) for all debts, liabilities or engagements to or with the Company (whether presently payable or not) by such Member or his estate, either alone or jointly with any other person, whether a Member or not, but the Directors may at any time declare any Share to be wholly or in part exempt from the provisions of this Article. The registration of a transfer of any such Share shall operate as a waiver of the Company’s lien thereon. The Company’s lien on a Share shall also extend to any amount payable in respect of that Share.

13.2     The Company may sell, in such manner as the Directors think fit, any Shares on which the Company has a lien, if a sum in respect of which the lien exists is presently payable, and is not paid within fourteen clear days after notice has been received or deemed to have been received by the holder of the Shares, or to the person entitled to it in consequence of the death or bankruptcy of the holder, demanding payment and stating that if the notice is not complied with the Shares may be sold.

13.3     To give effect to any such sale the Directors may authorise any person to execute an Instrument of transfer of the Shares sold to, or in accordance with the directions of, the purchaser. The purchaser or his nominee shall be registered as the holder of the Shares comprised in any such transfer, and he shall not be bound to see to the application of the purchase money, nor shall his title to the Shares be affected by any irregularity or invalidity in the sale or the exercise of the Company’s power of sale under the Articles.

13.4     The net proceeds of such sale after payment of costs, shall be applied in payment of such part of the amount in respect of which the lien exists as is presently payable and any balance shall (subject to a like lien for sums not presently payable as existed upon the Shares before the sale) be paid to the person entitled to the Shares at the date of the sale.

14          Call on Shares

14.1     Subject to the terms of the allotment and issue of any Shares, the Directors may make calls upon the Members in respect of any monies unpaid on their Shares (whether in respect of par value or premium), and each Member shall (subject to receiving at least fourteen clear days’ notice specifying the time or times of payment) pay to the Company at the time or times so specified the amount called on the Shares. A call may be revoked or postponed, in whole or in part, as the Directors may determine. A call may be required to be paid by instalments. A person upon whom a call is made shall remain liable for calls made upon him notwithstanding the subsequent transfer of the Shares in respect of which the call was made.

14.2     A call shall be deemed to have been made at the time when the resolution of the Directors authorising such call was passed.

14.3     The joint holders of a Share shall be jointly and severally liable to pay all calls in respect thereof.

Annex C-39

14.4     If a call remains unpaid after it has become due and payable, the person from whom it is due shall pay interest on the amount unpaid from the day it became due and payable until it is paid at such rate as the Directors may determine (and in addition all expenses that have been incurred by the Company by reason of such non-payment), but the Directors may waive payment of the interest or expenses wholly or in part.

14.5     An amount payable in respect of a Share on issue or allotment or at any fixed date, whether on account of the par value of the Share or premium or otherwise, shall be deemed to be a call and if it is not paid all the provisions of the Articles shall apply as if that amount had become due and payable by virtue of a call.

14.6     The Directors may issue Shares with different terms as to the amount and times of payment of calls, or the interest to be paid.

14.7     The Directors may, if they think fit, receive an amount from any Member willing to advance all or any part of the monies uncalled and unpaid upon any Shares held by him, and may (until the amount would otherwise become payable) pay interest at such rate as may be agreed upon between the Directors and the Member paying such amount in advance.

14.8     No such amount paid in advance of calls shall entitle the Member paying such amount to any portion of a Dividend or other distribution payable in respect of any period prior to the date upon which such amount would, but for such payment, become payable.

15          Forfeiture of Shares

15.1     If a call or instalment of a call remains unpaid after it has become due and payable the Directors may give to the person from whom it is due not less than fourteen clear days’ notice requiring payment of the amount unpaid together with any interest which may have accrued and any expenses incurred by the Company by reason of such non-payment. The notice shall specify where payment is to be made and shall state that if the notice is not complied with the Shares in respect of which the call was made will be liable to be forfeited.

15.2     If the notice is not complied with, any Share in respect of which it was given may, before the payment required by the notice has been made, be forfeited by a resolution of the Directors. Such forfeiture shall include all Dividends, other distributions or other monies payable in respect of the forfeited Share and not paid before the forfeiture.

15.3     A forfeited Share may be sold, re-allotted or otherwise disposed of on such terms and in such manner as the Directors think fit and at any time before a sale, re-allotment or disposition the forfeiture may be cancelled on such terms as the Directors think fit. Where for the purposes of its disposal a forfeited Share is to be transferred to any person the Directors may authorise some person to execute an instrument of transfer of the Share in favour of that person.

15.4     A person any of whose Shares have been forfeited shall cease to be a Member in respect of them and shall surrender to the Company for cancellation the certificate for the Shares forfeited and shall 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 those Shares together with interest at such rate as the Directors may determine, but his liability shall cease if and when the Company shall have received payment in full of all monies due and payable by him in respect of those Shares.

15.5     A certificate in writing under the hand of one Director or officer of the Company that a Share has been forfeited on a specified date shall be conclusive evidence of the facts stated in it as against all persons claiming to be entitled to the Share. The certificate shall (subject to the execution of an instrument of

Annex C-40

transfer) constitute a good title to the Share and the person to whom the Share is sold or otherwise disposed of shall not be bound to see to the application of the purchase money, if any, nor shall his title to the Share be affected by any irregularity or invalidity in the proceedings in reference to the forfeiture, sale or disposal of the Share.

15.6     The provisions of the Articles as to forfeiture shall apply in the case of non payment of any sum which, by the terms of issue of a Share, becomes payable at a fixed time, whether on account of the par value of the Share or by way of premium as if it had been payable by virtue of a call duly made and notified.

16          Transmission of Shares

16.1     If a Member dies the survivor or survivors (where he was a joint holder) or his legal personal representatives (where he was a sole holder), shall be the only persons recognised by the Company as having any title to his Shares. The estate of a deceased Member is not thereby released from any liability in respect of any Share, for which he was a joint or sole holder.

16.2     Any person becoming entitled to a Share in consequence of the death or bankruptcy or liquidation or dissolution of a Member (or in any other way than by transfer) may, upon such evidence being produced as may be required by the Directors, elect, by a notice in writing sent by him to the Company, either to become the holder of such Share or to have some person nominated by him registered as the holder of such Share. If he elects to have another person registered as the holder of such Share he shall sign an instrument of transfer of that Share to that person. The Directors shall, in either case, have the same right to decline or suspend registration as they would have had in the case of a transfer of the Share by the relevant Member before his death or bankruptcy or liquidation or dissolution, as the case may be.

16.3     A person becoming entitled to a Share by reason of the death or bankruptcy or liquidation or dissolution of a Member (or in any other case than by transfer) shall be entitled to the same Dividends, other distributions and other advantages to which he would be entitled if he were the holder of such Share. However, he shall not, before becoming a Member in respect of a Share, be entitled in respect of it to exercise any right conferred by membership in relation to general meetings of the Company and the Directors may at any time give notice requiring any such person to elect either to be registered himself or to have some person nominated by him be registered as the holder of the Share (but the Directors shall, in either case, have the same right to decline or suspend registration as they would have had in the case of a transfer of the Share by the relevant Member before his death or bankruptcy or liquidation or dissolution or any other case than by transfer, as the case may be). If the notice is not complied with within ninety days of being received or deemed to be received (as determined pursuant to the Articles) the Directors may thereafter withhold payment of all Dividends, other distributions, bonuses or other monies payable in respect of the Share until the requirements of the notice have been complied with.

17          Amendments of Memorandum and Articles of Association and Alteration of Capital

17.1     The Company may by Ordinary Resolution:

(a)        increase its share capital by such sum as the Ordinary Resolution shall prescribe and with such rights, priorities and privileges annexed thereto, as the Company in general meeting may determine;

(b)        consolidate and divide all or any of its share capital into Shares of larger amount than its existing Shares;

Annex C-41

(e)         cancel any Shares that at the date of the passing of the Ordinary Resolution have not been taken or agreed to be taken by any person and diminish the amount of its share capital by the amount of the Shares so cancelled.

17.2     All new Shares created in accordance with the provisions of the preceding Article shall be subject to the same provisions of the Articles with reference to the payment of calls, liens, transfer, transmission, forfeiture and otherwise as the Shares in the original share capital.

17.3     Subject to the provisions of the Statute and the provisions of the Articles as regards the matters to be dealt with by Ordinary Resolution, the Company may by Special Resolution:

(a)        change its name;

(b)        alter or add to the Articles;

(d)        reduce its share capital or any capital redemption reserve fund.

18          Offices and Places of Business

Subject to the provisions of the Statute, the Company may by resolution of the Directors change the location of its Registered Office. The Company may, in addition to its Registered Office, maintain such other offices or places of business as the Directors determine.

19          General Meetings

19.1     All general meetings other than annual general meetings shall be called extraordinary general meetings.

19.2     The Company may, but shall not (unless required by the Statute) be obliged to, in each year hold a general meeting as its annual general meeting, and shall specify the meeting as such in the notices calling it. Any annual general meeting shall be held at such time and place as the Directors shall appoint and if no other time and place is prescribed by them, it shall be held at the Registered Office on the second Wednesday in December of each year at ten o’clock in the morning. At these meetings the report of the Directors (if any) shall be presented.

19.3     The Directors may call general meetings, and they shall on a Members’ requisition forthwith proceed to convene an extraordinary general meeting of the Company.

19.4     A Members’ requisition is a requisition of Members holding at the date of deposit of the requisition not less than ten per cent, in par value of the issued Shares which as at that date carry the right to vote at general meetings of the Company.

19.5     The Members’ requisition must state the objects of the meeting and must be signed by the requisitionists and deposited at the Registered Office, and may consist of several documents in like form each signed by one or more requisitionists.

Annex C-42

19.6     If there are no Directors as at the date of the deposit of the Members’ requisition or if the Directors do not within twenty-one days from the date of the deposit of the Members’ requisition duly proceed to convene a general meeting to be held within a further twenty-one days, the requisitionists, or any of them representing more than one-half of the total voting rights of all of the requisitionists, may themselves convene a general meeting, but any meeting so convened shall be held no later than the day which falls three months after the expiration of the said twenty-one day period.

19.7     A general meeting convened as aforesaid by requisitionists shall be convened in the same manner as nearly as possible as that in which general meetings are to be convened by Directors.

20          Notice of General Meetings

20.1     At least five clear days’ notice shall be given of any general meeting. Every notice shall specify the place, the day and the hour of the meeting and the general nature of the business to be conducted at the general meeting and shall be given in the manner hereinafter mentioned or in such other manner if any as may be prescribed by the Company, provided that a general meeting of the Company shall, whether or not the notice specified in this Article has been given and whether or not the provisions of the Articles regarding general meetings have been complied with, be deemed to have been duly convened if it is so agreed:

(a)        in the case of an annual general meeting, by all of the Members entitled to attend and vote thereat; and

(b)        in the case of an extraordinary general meeting, by a majority in number of the Members having a right to attend and vote at the meeting, together holding not less than ninety five per cent, in par value of the Shares giving that right.

20.2     The accidental omission to give notice of a general meeting to, or the non receipt of notice of a general meeting by, any person entitled to receive such notice shall not invalidate the proceedings of that general meeting.

21          Proceedings at General Meetings

21.1     No business shall be transacted at any general meeting unless a quorum is present. Two Members being individuals present in person or by proxy or if a corporation or other non-natural person by its duly authorised representative or proxy shall be a quorum unless the Company has only one Member entitled to vote at such general meeting in which case the quorum shall be that one Member present in person or by proxy or (in the case of a corporation or other non-natural person) by its duly authorised representative or proxy.

21.2     A person may participate at a general meeting by conference telephone or other communications equipment by means of which all the persons participating in the meeting can communicate with each other. Participation by a person in a general meeting in this manner is treated as presence in person at that meeting.

21.3     A resolution (including a Special Resolution) in writing (in one or more counterparts) signed by or on behalf of all of the Members for the time being entitled to receive notice of and to attend and vote at general meetings (or, being corporations or other non-natural persons, signed by their duly authorised representatives) shall be as valid and effective as if the resolution had been passed at a general meeting of the Company duly convened and held.

Annex C-43

21.4     If a quorum is not present within half an hour from the time appointed for the meeting to commence or if during such a meeting a quorum ceases to be present, the meeting, if convened upon a Members’ requisition, shall be dissolved and in any other case it shall stand adjourned to the same day in the next week at the same time and/or place or to such other day, time and/or place as the Directors may determine, and if at the adjourned meeting a quorum is not present within half an hour from the time appointed for the meeting to commence, the Members present shall be a quorum.

21.5     The Directors may, at any time prior to the time appointed for the meeting to commence, appoint any person to act as chairman of a general meeting of the Company or, if the Directors do not make any such appointment, the chairman, if any, of the board of Directors shall preside as chairman at such general meeting. If there is no such chairman, or if he shall not be present within fifteen minutes after the time appointed for the meeting to commence, or is unwilling to act, the Directors present shall elect one of their number to be chairman of the meeting.

21.6     If no Director is willing to act as chairman or if no Director is present within fifteen minutes after the time appointed for the meeting to commence, the Members present shall choose one of their number to be chairman of the meeting.

21.7     The chairman may, with the consent of a meeting at which a quorum is present (and shall if so directed by the meeting) adjourn the meeting from time to time and from place to place, but no business shall be transacted at any adjourned meeting other than the business left unfinished at the meeting from which the adjournment took place.

21.8     When a general meeting is adjourned for thirty days or more, notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given as in the case of an original meeting. Otherwise it shall not be necessary to give any such notice of an adjourned meeting.

21.9     A resolution put to the vote of the meeting shall be decided on a show of hands unless before, or on the declaration of the result of, the show of hands, the chairman demands a poll, or any other Member or Members collectively present in person or by proxy (or in the case of a corporation or other non-natural person, by its duly authorised representative or proxy) and holding at least ten per cent. in par value of the Shares giving a right to attend and vote at the meeting demand a poll.

21.10   Unless a poll is duly demanded and the demand is not withdrawn a declaration by the chairman that a resolution has been carried or carried unanimously, or by a particular majority, or lost or not carried by a particular majority, an entry to that effect in the minutes of the proceedings of the meeting shall be conclusive evidence of that fact without proof of the number or proportion of the votes recorded in favour of or against such resolution.

21.11   The demand for a poll may be withdrawn.

21.12   Except on a poll demanded on the election of a chairman or on a question of adjournment, a poll shall be taken as the chairman directs, and the result of the poll shall be deemed to be the resolution of the general meeting at which the poll was demanded.

21.13   A poll demanded on the election of a chairman or on a question of adjournment shall be taken forthwith. A poll demanded on any other question shall be taken at such date, time and place as the chairman of the general meeting directs, and any business other than that upon which a poll has been demanded or is contingent thereon may proceed pending the taking of the poll.

Annex C-44

21.14   In the case of an equality of votes, whether on a show of hands or on a poll, the chairman shall be entitled to a second or casting vote.

22          Votes of Members

22.1     Subject to any rights or restrictions attached to any Shares, on a show of hands every Member who (being an individual) is present in person or by proxy or, if a corporation or other non-natural person is present by its duly authorised representative or by proxy, shall have one vote and on a poll every Member present in any such manner shall have one vote for every Share of which he is the holder.

22.2     In the case of joint holders the vote of the senior holder who tenders a vote, whether in person or by proxy (or, in the case of a corporation or other non-natural person, by its duly authorised representative or proxy), shall be accepted to the exclusion of the votes of the other joint holders, and seniority shall be determined by the order in which the names of the holders stand in the Register of Members.

22.3     A Member of unsound mind, or in respect of whom an order has been made by any court, having jurisdiction in lunacy, may vote, whether on a show of hands or on a poll, by his committee, receiver, curator bonis, or other person on such Member’s behalf appointed by that court, and any such committee, receiver, curator bonis or other person may vote by proxy.

22.4     No person shall be entitled to vote at any general meeting unless he is registered as a Member on the record date for such meeting nor unless all calls or other monies then payable by him in respect of Shares have been paid.

22.5     No objection shall be raised as to the qualification of any voter except at the general meeting or adjourned general meeting at which the vote objected to is given or tendered and every vote not disallowed at the meeting shall be valid. Any objection made in due time in accordance with this Article shall be referred to the chairman whose decision shall be final and conclusive.

22.6     On a poll or on a show of hands votes may be cast either personally or by proxy (or in the case of a corporation or other non-natural person by its duly authorised representative or proxy). A Member may appoint more than one proxy or the same proxy under one or more instruments to attend and vote at a meeting. Where a Member appoints more than one proxy the instrument of proxy shall state which proxy is entitled to vote on a show of hands and shall specify the number of Shares in respect of which each proxy is entitled to exercise the related votes.

22.7     On a poll, a Member holding more than one Share need not cast the votes in respect of his Shares in the same way on any resolution and therefore may vote a Share or some or all such Shares either for or against a resolution and/or abstain from voting a Share or some or all of the Shares and, subject to the terms of the instrument appointing him, a proxy appointed under one or more instruments may vote a Share or some or all of the Shares in respect of which he is appointed either for or against a resolution and/or abstain from voting a Share or some or all of the Shares in respect of which he is appointed.

23          Proxies

23.1     The instrument appointing a proxy shall be in writing and shall be executed under the hand of the appointor or of his attorney duly authorised in writing, or, if the appointor is a corporation or other non natural person, under the hand of its duly authorised representative. A proxy need not be a Member.

Annex C-45

23.2     The Directors may, in the notice convening any meeting or adjourned meeting, or in an instrument of proxy sent out by the Company, specify the manner by which the instrument appointing a proxy shall be deposited and the place and the time (being not later than the time appointed for the commencement of the meeting or adjourned meeting to which the proxy relates) at which the instrument appointing a proxy shall be deposited. In the absence of any such direction from the Directors in the notice convening any meeting or adjourned meeting or in an instrument of proxy sent out by the Company, the instrument appointing a proxy shall be deposited physically at the Registered Office not less than 48 hours before the time appointed for the meeting or adjourned meeting to commence at which the person named in the instrument proposes to vote.

23.3     The chairman may in any event at his discretion declare that an instrument of proxy shall be deemed to have been duly deposited. An instrument of proxy that is not deposited in the manner permitted, or which has not been declared to have been duly deposited by the chairman, shall be invalid.

23.4     The instrument appointing a proxy may be in any usual or common form (or such other form as the Directors may approve) and may be expressed to be for a particular meeting or any adjournment thereof or generally until revoked. An instrument appointing a proxy shall be deemed to include the power to demand or join or concur in demanding a poll.

23.5     Votes given in accordance with the terms of an instrument of proxy shall be valid notwithstanding the previous death or insanity of the principal or revocation of the proxy or of the authority under which the proxy was executed, or the transfer of the Share in respect of which the proxy is given unless notice in writing of such death, insanity, revocation or transfer was received by the Company at the Registered Office before the commencement of the general meeting, or adjourned meeting at which it is sought to use the proxy.

24          Corporate Members

Any corporation or other non-natural person which is a Member may in accordance with its constitutional documents, or in the absence of such provision by resolution of its directors or other governing body, authorise such person as it thinks fit to act as its representative at any meeting of the Company or of any class of Members, and the person so authorised shall be entitled to exercise the same powers on behalf of the corporation which he represents as the corporation could exercise if it were an individual Member.

25          Shares that May Not be Voted

Shares in the Company that are beneficially owned by the Company shall not be voted, directly or indirectly, at any meeting and shall not be counted in determining the total number of outstanding Shares at any given time.

26          Directors

There shall be a board of Directors consisting of not less than one person (exclusive of alternate Directors) provided however that the Company may by Ordinary Resolution increase or reduce the limits in the number of Directors. The first Directors of the Company shall be determined in writing by, or appointed by a resolution of, the Subscriber.

27          Powers of Directors

27.1     Subject to the provisions of the Statute, the Memorandum and the Articles and to any directions given by Special Resolution, the business of the Company shall be managed by the Directors who may exercise all the powers of the Company. No alteration of the Memorandum or Articles and no such direction shall

Annex C-46

invalidate any prior act of the Directors which would have been valid if that alteration had not been made or that direction had not been given. A duly convened meeting of Directors at which a quorum is present may exercise all powers exercisable by the Directors.

27.2     All cheques, promissory notes, drafts, bills of exchange and other negotiable or transferable instruments and all receipts for monies paid to the Company shall be signed, drawn, accepted, endorsed or otherwise executed as the case may be in such manner as the Directors shall determine by resolution.

27.3     The Directors on behalf of the Company may pay a gratuity or pension or allowance on retirement to any Director who has held any other salaried office or place of profit with the Company or to his widow or dependants and may make contributions to any fund and pay premiums for the purchase or provision of any such gratuity, pension or allowance.

27.4     The Directors may exercise all the powers of the Company to borrow money and to mortgage or charge its undertaking, property and assets (present and future) and uncalled capital or any part thereof and to issue debentures, debenture stock, mortgages, bonds and other such securities whether outright or as security for any debt, liability or obligation of the Company or of any third party.

28          Appointment and Removal of Directors

28.1     The Company may by Ordinary Resolution appoint any person to be a Director or may by Ordinary Resolution remove any Director.

28.2     The Directors may appoint any person to be a Director, either to fill a vacancy or as an additional Director provided that the appointment does not cause the number of Directors to exceed any number fixed by or in accordance with the Articles as the maximum number of Directors.

29         Vacation of Office of Director

The office of a Director shall be vacated if:

(a)         the Director gives notice in writing to the Company that he resigns the office of Director; or

(b)        the Director absents himself (for the avoidance of doubt, without being represented by proxy or an alternate Director appointed by him) from three consecutive meetings of the board of Directors without special leave of absence from the Directors, and the Directors pass a resolution that he has by reason of such absence vacated office; or

(c)         the Director dies, becomes bankrupt or makes any arrangement or composition with his creditors generally; or

(d)        the Director is found to be or becomes of unsound mind; or

(e)         all of the other Directors (being not less than two in number) determine that he should be removed as a Director, either by a resolution passed b y all of the other Directors at a meeting of the Directors duly convened and held in accordance with the Articles or by a resolution in writing signed by all of the other Directors.

30         Proceedings of Directors

30.1     The quorum for the transaction of the business of the Directors may be fixed by the Directors, and unless so fixed shall be two if there are two or more Directors, and shall be one if there is only one Director. A person

Annex C-47

who holds office as an alternate Director shall, if his appointor is not present, be counted in the quorum. A Director who also acts as an alternate Director shall, if his appointor is not present, count twice towards the quorum.

30.2     Subject to the provisions of the Articles, the Directors may regulate their proceedings as they think fit. Questions arising at any meeting shall be decided by a majority of votes. In the case of an equality of votes, the chairman shall have a second or casting vote. A Director who is also an alternate Director shall be entitled in the absence of his appointor to a separate vote on behalf of his appointor in addition to his own vote.

30.3     A person may participate in a meeting of the Directors or any committee of Directors by conference telephone or other communications equipment by means of which all the persons participating in the meeting can communicate with each other at the same time. Participation by a person in a meeting in this manner is treated as presence in person at that meeting. Unless otherwise determined by the Directors the meeting shall be deemed to be held at the place where the chairman is located at the start of the meeting.

30.4     A resolution in writing (in one or more counterparts) signed by all the Directors or all the members of a committee of the Directors or, in the case of a resolution in writing relating to the removal of any Director or the vacation of office by any Director, all of the Directors other than the Director who is the subject of such resolution (an alternate Director being entitled to sign such a resolution on behalf of his appointor and if such alternate Director is also a Director, being entitled to sign such resolution both on behalf of his appointer and in his capacity as a Director) shall be as valid and effectual as if it had been passed at a meeting of the Directors, or committee of Directors as the case may be, duly convened and held.

30.5     A Director or alternate Director may, or other officer of the Company on the direction of a Director or alternate Directo r shall, call a meeting of the Directors by at least two days’ notice in writing to every Director and alternate Director which notice shall set forth the general nature of the business to be considered unless notice is waived by all the Directors (or their alternates) either at, before or after the meeting is held. To any such notice of a meeting of the Directors all the provisions of the Articles relating to the giving of notices by the Company to the Members shall apply mutatis mutandis.

30.6     The continuing Directors (or a sole continuing Director, as the case may be) may act notwithstanding any vacancy in their body, but if and so long as their number is reduced below the number fixed by or pursuant to the Articles as the necessary quorum of Directors the continuing Directors or Director may act for the purpose of increasing the number of Directors to be equal to such fixed number, or of summoning a general meeting of the Company, but for no other purpose.

30.7     The Directors may elect a chairman of their board and determine the period for which he is to hold office; but if no such chairman is elected, or if at any meeting the chairman is not present within five minutes after the time appointed for the meeting to commence, the Directors present may choose one of their number to be chairman of the meeting.

30.8     All acts done by any meeting of the Directors or of a committee of the Directors (including any person acting as an alternate Director) shall, notwithstanding that it is afterwards discovered that there was some defect in the appointment of any Director or alternate Director, and/or that they or any of them were disqualified, and/or had vacated their office and/or were not entitled to vote, be as valid as if every such person had been duly appointed and/or not disqualified to be a Director or alternate Director and/or had not vacated their office and/or had been entitled to vote, as the case may be.

Annex C-48

30.9     A Director but not an alternate Director may be represented at any meetings of the board of Directors by a proxy appointed in writing by him. The proxy shall count towards the quorum and the vote of the proxy shall for all purposes be deemed to be that of the appointing Director.

31         Presumption of Assent

A Director or alternate Director who is present at a meeting of the board of Directors at which action on any Company matter is taken shall be presumed to have assented to the action taken unless his dissent shall be entered in the minutes of the meeting or unless he shall file his written dissent from such action with the person acting as the chairman or secretary of the meeting before the adjournment thereof or shall forward such dissent by registered post to such person immediately after the adjournment of the meeting. Such right to dissent shall not apply to a Director or alternate Director who voted in favour of such action.

32          Directors’ Interests

32.1     A Director or alternate Director may hold any other office or place of profit under the Company (other than the office of Auditor) in conjunction with his office of Director for such period and on such terms as to remuneration and otherwise as the Directors may determine.

32.2     A Director or alternate Director may act by himself or by, through or on behalf of his firm in a professional capacity for the Company and he or his firm shall be entitled to remuneration for professional services as if he were not a Director or alternate Director.

32.3     A Director or alternate Director may be or become a director or other officer of or otherwise interested in any company promoted by the Company or in which the Company may be interested as a shareholder, a contracting party or otherwise, and no such Director or alternate Director shall be accountable to the Company for any remuneration or other benefits received by him as a director or officer of, or from his interest in, such other company.

32.4     No person shall be disqualified from the office of Director or alternate Director or prevented by such office from contracting with the Company, either as vendor, purchaser or otherwise, nor shall any such contract or any contract or transaction entered into by or on behalf of the Company in which any Director or alternate Director shall be in any way interested be or be liable to be avoided, nor shall any Director or alternate Director so contracting or being so interested be liable to account to the Company for any profit realised by or arising in connection with any such contract or transaction by reason of such Director or alternate Director holding office or of the fiduciary relationship thereby established. A Director (or his alternate Director in his absence) shall be at liberty to vote in respect of any contract or transaction in which he is interested provided that the nature of the interest of any Director or alternate Director in any such contract or transaction shall be disclosed by him at or prior to its consideration and any vote thereon.

32.5     A general notice that a Director or alternate Director is a shareholder, director, officer or employee of any specified firm or company and is to be regarded as interested in any transaction with such firm or company shall be sufficient disclosure for the purposes of voting on a resolution in respect of a contract or transaction in which he has an interest, and after such general notice it shall not be necessary to give special notice relating to any particular transaction.

33          Minutes

The Directors shall cause minutes to be made in books kept for the purpose of recording all appointments of officers made by the Directors, all proceedings at meetings of the Company or the holders of any class

Annex C-49

of Shares and of the Directors, and of committees of the Directors, including the names of the Directors or alternate Directors present at each meeting.

34          Delegation of Directors’ Powers

34.1     The Directors may delegate any of their powers, authorities and discretions, including the power to sub-delegate, to any committee consisting of one or more Directors. They may also delegate to any managing director or any Director holding any other executive office such of their powers, authorities and discretions as they consider desirable to be exercised by him provided that an alternate Director may not act as managing director and the appointment of a managing director shall be revoked forthwith if he ceases to be a Director. Any such delegation may be made subject to any conditions the Directors may impose and either collaterally with or to the exclusion of their own powers and any such delegation may be revoked or altered by the Directors. Subject to any such conditions, the proceedings of a committee of Directors shall be governed by the Articles regulating the proceedings of Directors, so far as they are capable of applying.

34.2     The Directors may establish any committees, local boards or agencies or appoint any person to be a manager or agent for managing the affairs of the Company and may appoint any person to be a member of such committees, local boards or agencies. Any such appointment may be made subject to any conditions the Directors may impose, and either collaterally with or to the exclusion of their own powers and any such appointment may be revoked or altered by the Directors. Subject to any such conditions, the proceedings of any such committee, local board or agency shall be governed by the Articles regulating the proceedings of Directors, so far as they are capable of applying.

34.3     The Directors may by power of attorney or otherwise appoint any person to be the agent of the Company on such conditions as the Directors may determine, provided that the delegation is not to the exclusion of their own powers and may be revoked by the Directors at any time.

34.4     The Directors may by power of attorney or otherwise appoint any company, firm, person or body of persons, whether nominated directly or indirectly by the Directors, to be the attorney or authorised signatory of the Company for such purpose and with such powers, authorities and discretions (not exceeding those vested in or exercisable by the Directors under the Articles) and for such period and subject to such conditions as they may think fit, and any such powers of attorney or other appointment may contain such provisions for the protection and convenience of persons dealing with any such attorneys or authorised signatories as the Directors may think fit and may also authorise any such attorney or authorised signatory to delegate all or any of the powers, authorities and discretions vested in him.

34.5     The Directors may appoint such officers of the Company (including, for the avoidance of doubt and without limitation, any secretary) as they consider necessary on such terms, at such remuneration and to perform such duties, and subject to such provisions as to disqualification and removal as the Directors may think fit. Unless otherwise specified in the terms of his appointment an officer of the Company may be removed by resolution of the Directors or Members. An officer of the Company may vacate his office at any time if he gives notice in writing to the Company that he resigns his office.

35          Alternate Directors

35.1     Any Director (but not an alternate Director) may by writing appoint any other Director, or any other person willing to act, to be an alternate Director and by writing may remove from office an alternate Director so appointed by him.

Annex C-50

35.2     An alternate Director shall be entitled to receive notice of all meetings of Directors and of all meetings of committees of Directors of which his appointor is a member, to attend and vote at every such meeting at which the Director appointing him is not personally present, to sign any written resolution of the Directors, and generally to perform all the functions of his appointor as a Director in his absence.

35.3     An alternate Director shall cease to be an alternate Director if his appointor ceases to be a Director.

35.4     Any appointment or removal of an alternate Director shall be by notice to the Company signed by the Director making or revoking the appointment or in any other manner approved by the Directors.

35.5     Subject to the provisions of the Articles, an alternate Director shall be deemed for all purposes to be a Director and shall alone be responsible for his own acts and defaults and shall not be deemed to be the agent of the Director appointing him.

36          No Minimum Shareholding

The Company in general meeting may fix a minimum shareholding required to be held by a Director, but unless and until such a shareholding qualification is fixed a Director is not required to hold Shares.

37          Remuneration of Directors

37.1     The remuneration to be paid to the Directors, if any, shall be such remuneration as the Directors shall determine. The Directors shall also be entitled to be paid all travelling, hotel and other expenses properly incurred by them in connection with their attendance at meetings of Directors or committees of Directors, or general meetings of the Company, or separate meetings of the holders of any class of Shares or debentures of the Company, or otherwise in connection with the business of the Company or the discharge of their duties as a Director, or to receive a fixed allowance in respect thereof as may be determined by the Directors, or a combination partly of one such method and partly the other.

37.2     The Directors may by resolution approve additional remuneration to any Director for any services which in the opinion of the Directors go beyond his ordinary routine work as a Director. Any fees paid to a Director who is also counsel, attorney or solicitor to the Company, or otherwise serves it in a professional capacity shall be in addition to his remuneration as a Director.

38          Seal

38.1     The Company may, if the Directors so determine, have a Seal. The Seal shall only be used by the authority of the Directors or of a committee of the Directors authorised by the Directors. Every instrument to which the Seal has been affixed shall be signed by at least one person who shall be either a Director or some officer of the Company or other person appointed by the Directors for the purpose.

38.2     The Company may have for use in any place or places outside the Cayman Islands a duplicate Seal or Seals each of which shall be a facsimile of the common Seal of the Company and, if the Directors so determine, with the addition on its face of the name of every place where it is to be used.

38.3     A Director or officer, representative or attorney of the Company may without further authority of the Directors affix the Seal over his signature alone to any document of the Company required to be authenticated by him under seal or to be filed with the Registrar of Companies in the Cayman Islands or elsewhere wheresoever.

Annex C-51

39          Dividends, Distributions and Reserve

39.1     Subject to the Statute and this Article and except as otherwise provided by the rights attached to any Shares, the Directors may resolve to pay Dividends and other distributions on Shares in issue and authorise payment of the Dividends or other distributions out of the funds of the Company lawfully available therefor. A Dividend shall be deemed to be an interim Dividend unless the terms of the resolution pursuant to which the Directors resolve to pay such Dividend specifically state that such Dividend shall be a final Dividend. No Dividend or other distribution shall be paid except out of the realised or unrealised profits of the Company, out of the share premium account or as otherwise permitted by law.

39.2     Except as otherwise provided by the rights attached to any Shares, all Dividends and other distributions shall be paid according to the par value of the Shares that a Member holds. If any Share is issued on terms providing that it shall rank for Dividend as from a particular date, that Share shall rank for Dividend accordingly.

39.3     The Directors may deduct from any Dividend or other distribution payable to any Member all sums of money (if any) then payable by him to the Company on account of calls or otherwise.

39.4     The Directors may resolve that any Dividend or other distribution be paid wholly or partly by the distribution of specific assets and in particular (but without limitation) by the distribution of shares, debentures, or securities of any other company or in any one or more of such ways and where any difficulty arises in regard to such distribution, the Directors may settle the same as they think expedient and in particular may issue fractional Shares and may fix the value for distribution of such specific assets or any part thereof and may determine that cash payments shall be made to any Members upon the basis of the value so fixed in order to adjust the rights of all Members and may vest any such specific assets in trustees in such manner as may seem expedient to the Directors.

39.5     Except as otherwise provided by the rights attached to any Shares, Dividends and other distributions may be paid in any currency. The Directors may determine the basis of conversion for any currency conversions that may be required and how any costs involved are to be met.

39.6     The Directors may, before resolving to pay any Dividend or other distribution, set aside such sums as they think proper as a reserve or reserves which shall, at the discretion of the Directors, be applicable for any purpose of the Company and pending such application may, at the discretion of the Directors, be employed in the business of the Company.

39.7     Any Dividend, other distribution, interest or other monies payable in cash in respect of Shares may be paid by wire transfer to the holder or by cheque or warrant sent through the post directed to the registered address of the holder or, in the case of joint holders, to the registered address of the holder who is first named on the Register of Members or to such person and to such address as such holder or joint holders may in writing direct. Every such cheque or warrant shall be made payable to the order of the person to whom it is sent. Any one of two or more joint holders may give effectual receipts for any Dividends, other distributions, bonuses, or other monies payable in respect of the Share held by them as joint holders.

39.8     No Dividend or other distribution shall bear interest against the Company.

39.9     Any Dividend or other distribution which cannot be paid to a Member and/or which remains unclaimed after six months from the date on which such Dividend or other distribution becomes payable may, in the discretion of the Directors, be paid into a separate account in the Company’s name, provided that the

Annex C-52

Company shall not be constituted as a trustee in respect of that account and the Dividend or other distribution shall remain as a debt due to the Member. Any Dividend or other distribution which remains unclaimed after a period of six years from the date on which such Dividend or other distribution becomes payable shall be forfeited and shall revert to the Company.

40          Capitalisation

The Directors may at any time capitalise any sum standing to the credit of any of the Company’s reserve accounts or funds (including the share premium account and capital redemption reserve fund) or any sum standing to the credit of the profit and loss account or otherwise available for distribution; appropriate such sum to Members in the proportions in which such sum would have been divisible amongst such Members had the same been a distribution of profits by way of Dividend or other distribution; and apply such sum on their behalf in paying up in full unissued Shares for allotment and distribution credited as fully paid-up to and amongst them in the proportion aforesaid. In such event the Directors shall do all acts and things required to give effect to such capitalisation, with full power given to the Directors to make such provisions as they think fit in the case of Shares becoming distributable in fractions (including provisions whereby the benefit of fractional entitlements accrue to the Company rather than to the Members concerned). The Directors may authorise any person to enter on behalf of all of the Members interested into an agreement with the Company providing for such capitalisation and matters incidental or relating thereto and any agreement made under such authority shall be effective and binding on all such Members and the Company.

41          Books of Account

41.1     The Directors shall cause proper books of account (including, where applicable, material underlying documentation including contracts and invoices) to be kept with respect to all sums of money received and expended by the Company and the matters in respect of which the receipt or expenditure takes place, all sales and purchases of goods by the Company and the assets and liabilities of the Company. Such books of account must be retained for a minimum period of five years from the date on which they are prepared. Proper books shall not be deemed to be kept if there are not kept such books of account as are necessary to give a true and fair view of the state of the Company’s affairs and to explain its transactions.

41.2     The Directors shall determine whether and to what extent and at what times and places and under what conditions or regulations the accounts and books of the Company or any of them shall be open to the inspection of Members not being Directors and no Member (not being a Director) shall have any right of inspecting any account or book or document of the Company except as conferred by Statute or authorised by the Directors or by the Company in general meeting.

41.3     The Directors may cause to be prepared and to be laid before the Company in general meeting profit and loss accounts, balance sheets, group accounts (if any) and such other reports and accounts as may be required by law.

42          Audit

42.1     The Directors may appoint an Auditor of the Company who shall hold office on such terms as the Directors determine.

42.2     Every Auditor of the Company shall have a right of access at all times to the books and accounts and vouchers of the Company and shall be entitled to require from the Directors and officers of the Company such information and explanation as may be necessary for the performance of the duties of the Auditor.

Annex C-53

42.3     Auditors shall, if so required by the Directors, make a report on the accounts of the Company during their tenure of office at the next annual general meeting following their appointment in the case of a company which is registered with the Registrar of Companies as an ordinary company, and at the next extraordinary general meeting following their appointment in the case of a company which is registered with the Registrar of Companies as an exempted company, and at any other time during their term of office, upon request of the Directors or any general meeting of the Members.

43          Notices

43.1     Notices shall be in writing and may be given by the Company to any Member either personally or by sending it by courier, post, cable, telex, fax or e-mail to him or to his address as shown in the Register of Members (or where the notice is given by e-mail by sending it to the e-mail address provided by such Member). Any notice, if posted from one country to another, is to be sent by airmail.

43.2     Where a notice is sent by courier, service of the notice shall be deemed to be effected by delivery of the notice to a courier company, and shall be deemed to have been received on the third day (not including Saturdays or Sundays or public holidays) following the day on which the notice was delivered to the courier. Where a notice is sent by post, service of the notice shall be deemed to be effected by properly addressing, pre paying and posting a letter containing the notice, and shall be deemed to have been received on the fifth day (not including Saturdays or Sundays or public holidays in the Cayman Islands) following the day on which the notice was posted. Where a notice is sent by cable, telex or fax, service of the notice shall be deemed to be effected by properly addressing and sending such notice and shall be deemed to have been received on the same day that it was transmitted. Where a notice is given by e-mail service shall be deemed to be effected by transmitting the e-mail to the e-mail address provided by the intended recipient and shall be deemed to have been received on the same day that it was sent, and it shall not be necessary for the receipt of the e-mail to be acknowledged by the recipient.

43.3     A notice may be given by the Company to the person or persons which the Company has been advised are entitled to a Share or Shares in consequence of the death or bankruptcy of a Member in the same manner as other notices which are required to be given under the Articles and shall be addressed to them by name, or by the title of representatives of the deceased, or trustee of the bankrupt, or by any like description at the address supplied for that purpose by the persons claiming to be so entitled, or at the option of the Company by giving the notice in any manner in which the same might have been given if the death or bankruptcy had not occurred.

43.4     Notice of every general meeting shall be given in any manner authorised by the Articles to every holder of Shares carrying an entitlement to receive such notice on the record date for such meeting except that in the case of joint holders the notice shall be sufficient if given to the joint holder first named in the Register of Members and every person upon whom the ownership of a Share devolves by reason of his being a legal personal representative or a trustee in bankruptcy of a Member where the Member but for his death or bankruptcy would be entitled to receive notice of the meeting, and no other person shall be entitled to receive notices of general meetings.

Annex C-54

44          Winding Up

44.1     If the Company shall be wound up the liquidator shall apply the assets of the Company in satisfaction of creditors’ claims in such manner and order as such liquidator thinks fit. Subject to the rights attaching to any Shares, in a winding up:

(a)        if the assets available for distribution amongst the Members shall be insufficient to repay the whole of the Company’s issued share capital, such assets shall be distributed so that, as nearly as may be, the losses shall be borne by the Members in proportion to the par value of the Shares held by them; or

(b)        if the assets available for distribution amongst the Members shall be more than sufficient to repay the whole of the Company’s issued share capital at the commencement of the winding up, the surplus shall be distributed amongst the Members in proportion to the par value of the Shares held by them at the commencement of the winding up subject to a deduction from those Shares in respect of which there are monies due, of all monies payable to the Company for unpaid calls or otherwise.

44.2     If the Company shall be wound up the liquidator may, subject to the rights attaching to any Shares and with the sanction of a Special Resolution of the Company and any other sanction required by the Statute, divide amongst the Members in kind the whole or any part of the assets of the Company (whether such assets shall consist of property of the same kind or not) and may for that purpose value any assets and determine how the division shall be carried out as between the Members or different classes of Members. The liquidator may, with the like sanction, vest the whole or any part of such assets in trustees upon such trusts for the benefit of the Members as the liquidator, with the like sanction, shall think fit, but so that no Member shall be compelled to accept any asset upon which there is a liability.

45          Indemnity and Insurance

45.1     Every Director and officer of the Company (which for the avoidance of doubt, shall not include auditors of the Company), together with every former Director and former officer of the Company (each an “Indemnified Person”) shall be indemnified out of the assets of the Company against any liability, action, proceeding, claim, demand, costs, damages or expenses, including legal expenses, whatsoever which they or any of them may incur as a result of any act or failure to act in carrying out their functions other than such liability (if any) that they may incur by reason of their own actual fraud or wilful default. No Indemnified Person shall be liable to the Company for any loss or damage incurred by the Company as a result (whether direct or indirect) of the carrying out of their functions unless that liability arises through the actual fraud or wilful default of such Indemnified Person. No person shall be found to have committed actual fraud or wilful default under this Article unless or until a court of competent jurisdiction shall have made a finding to that effect.

45.2     The Company shall advance to each Indemnified Person reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses incurred in connection with the defence of any action, suit, proceeding or investigation involving such Indemnified Person for which indemnity will or could be sought. In connection with any advance of any expenses hereunder, the Indemnified Person shall execute an undertaking to repay the advanced amount to the Company if it shall be determined by final judgment or other final adjudication that such Indemnified Person was not entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article. If it shall be determined by a final judgment or other final adjudication that such Indemnified Person was not entitled to indemnification with respect to such judgment, costs or expenses, then such party shall not be indemnified with respect to such

Annex C-55

judgment, costs or expenses and any advancement shall be returned to the Company (without interest) by the Indemnified Person.

45.3     The Directors, on behalf of the Company, may purchase and maintain insurance for the benefit of any Director or other officer of the Company against any liability which, by virtue of any rule of law, would otherwise attach to such person in respect of any negligence, default, breach of duty or breach of trust of which such person may be guilty in relation to the Company.

46          Financial Year

Unless the Directors otherwise prescribe, the financial year of the Company shall end on 31st December in each year and, following the year of incorporation, shall begin on 1st January in each year.

47          Transfer by Way of Continuation

If the Company is exempted as defined in the Statute, it shall, subject to the provisions of the Statute and with the approval of a Special Resolution, have the power to register by way of continuation as a body corporate under the laws of any jurisdiction outside the Cayman Islands and to be deregistered in the Cayman Islands.

48          Mergers and Consolidations

The Company shall, with the approval of a Special Resolution, have the power to merge or consolidate with one or more constituent companies (as defined in the Statute), upon such terms as the Directors may determine.

For purposes of illustration and not of limitation, the Committee shall have the authority (subject to the express provisions of this Plan):

(a)      to select the officers, employees, directors and consultants of the Company or any Subsidiary to whom Options, Share Appreciation Rights, Restricted Shares and/or Other Share-Based Awards may from time to time be awarded hereunder;

(b)      to determine the terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, of any award granted hereunder (including, but not limited to, number of shares, share exercise price or types of consideration paid upon exercise of such options, such as other securities of the Company or other property, any restrictions or limitations, and any vesting, exchange, surrender, cancellation, acceleration, termination, exercise or forfeiture provisions, as the Committee shall determine);

(e)      to make payments and distributions with respect to awards ( i.e ., to “settle” awards) through cash payments in an amount equal to the Repurchase Value.

Annex D-2

The Committee may not modify or amend any outstanding Option or Share Appreciation Right to reduce the exercise price of such Option or Share Appreciation Right, as applicable, below the exercise price as of the date of grant of such Option or Share Appreciation Right. In addition, no Option or Share Appreciation Right may be granted in exchange for the cancellation or surrender of an Option or Share Appreciation Right or other award having a higher exercise price.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Committee shall not grant to any one Holder in any one calendar year awards for more than 1% of the outstanding shares at the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement in the aggregate.

2.3.    Interpretation of Plan .

(a)      Committee Authority . Subject to Section 10, the Committee shall have the authority to adopt, alter and repeal such administrative rules, guidelines and practices governing the Plan as it shall from time to time deem advisable to interpret the terms and provisions of the Plan and any award issued under the Plan (and to determine the form and substance of all agreements relating thereto), and to otherwise supervise the administration of the Plan. Subject to Section 10, all decisions made by the Committee pursuant to the provisions of the Plan shall be made in the Committee’s sole discretion and shall be final and binding upon all persons, including the Company, its Subsidiaries and Holders.

(b)      Incentive Options . Anything in the Plan to the contrary notwithstanding, no term or provision of the Plan relating to Incentive Options (including but not limited to Share Appreciation rights granted in conjunction with an Incentive Option) or any Agreement providing for Incentive Options shall be interpreted, amended or altered, nor shall any discretion or authority granted under the Plan be so exercised, so as to disqualify the Plan under Section 422 of the Code or, without the consent of the Holder(s) affected, to disqualify any Incentive Option under such Section 422.

Section 3. Shares Subject to Plan.

3.1.    Number of Shares . Subject to Section 6.2(d), the total number of Ordinary Shares reserved and available for issuance under the Plan shall be a number of Ordinary Shares equal to ten percent (10%) of the total outstanding Ordinary Shares as of the closing date of that certain Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, dated as of April 24, 2015 and amended on May 5, 2015, by and among the Company, Wins Finance Group Ltd. and the shareholders of Wins (“Merger Agreement”), after taking into account the Ordinary Shares that may be issued pursuant to the Merger Agreement and the conversion of any shares held by the Company’s public shareholders as provided for in the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation. Ordinary Shares under the Plan (“Shares”) may consist, in whole or in part, of authorized and unissued shares or treasury shares. If any Ordinary Shares that have been granted pursuant to an Option cease to be subject to an Option, or if any Ordinary Shares that are subject to any Share Appreciation Right, Restricted Shares award or Other Share-Based Award granted hereunder are forfeited, or any such award otherwise terminates without a payment being made to the Holder in the form of Ordinary Shares, such shares shall again be available for distribution in connection with future grants and awards under the Plan. Ordinary Shares that are surrendered by a Holder or withheld by the Company as full or partial payment in connection with any award under the Plan, as well as any Ordinary Shares surrendered by a Holder or withheld by the Company or one of its Subsidiaries to satisfy the tax withholding obligations related to any award under the Plan, shall not be available for subsequent awards under the Plan.

3.2.    Adjustment Upon Changes in Capitalization, Etc.  In the event of any dividend payable on Ordinary Shares, Ordinary Shares split or reverse split, combination or exchange of Ordinary Shares, or other extraordinary or unusual event (including a Change of Control) which results in a change in the Ordinary Shares of the Company as a whole, the Committee shall determine, in its sole discretion, whether such change equitably requires an adjustment in the terms of any award in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits available under the Plan (including number of shares subject to the award and the exercise price) or the aggregate number of shares reserved for issuance under the Plan. Any such adjustments will be made by the Committee, whose determination will be final, binding and conclusive.

Annex D-3

Section 4. Eligibility.

Awards may be made or granted to employees, officers, directors and consultants who are deemed to have rendered or to be able to render significant services to the Company or its Subsidiaries and who are deemed to have contributed or to have the potential to contribute to the success of the Company and which recipients are qualified to receive options under the regulations governing Form S-8 registration statements under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Securities Act”). No Incentive Option shall be granted to any person who is not an employee of the Company or an employee of a Subsidiary at the time of grant or so qualified as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an award may also be made or granted to a person in connection with his hiring or retention, or at any time on or after the date he reaches an agreement (oral or written) with the Company with respect to such hiring or retention, even though it may be prior to the date the person first performs services for the Company or its Subsidiaries; provided, however, that no portion of any such award shall vest prior to the date the person first performs such services and the date of grant shall be deemed to be the date hiring or retention commences.

Section 5. Options.

5.1.    Grant and Exercise . Options granted under the Plan may be of two types: (i) Incentive Options and (ii) Non-qualified Options. Any Option granted under the Plan shall contain such terms, not inconsistent with this Plan, or with respect to Incentive Options, not inconsistent with the Plan and the Code, as the Committee may from time to time approve. The Committee shall have the authority to grant Incentive Options or Non-qualified Options, or both types of Options which may be granted alone or in addition to other awards granted under the Plan. To the extent that any Option intended to qualify as an Incentive Option does not so qualify, it shall constitute a separate Non-qualified Option.

5.2.    Terms and Conditions . Options granted under the Plan shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:

(a)      Option Term . The term of each Option shall be fixed by the Committee; provided, however, that an Incentive Option may be granted only within the ten-year period commencing from the Effective Date and may only be exercised within ten years of the date of grant (or five years in the case of an Incentive Option granted to an optionee who, at the time of grant, owns Ordinary Shares possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of voting shares of the Company (“10% Shareholder”)).

(b)      Exercise Price . The exercise price per Ordinary Share purchasable under an Option shall be determined by the Committee at the time of grant and may not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value on the date of grant (or, if greater, the par value of the Ordinary Shares); provided, however, that the exercise price of an Incentive Option granted to a 10% Shareholder will not be less than 110% of the Fair Market Value on the date of grant.

(c)      Exercisability . Options shall be exercisable at such time or times and subject to such terms and conditions as shall be determined by the Committee. The Committee intends generally to provide that Options be exercisable only in installments. The Committee may waive such installment exercise provisions at any time at or after the time of grant in whole or in part, based upon such factors as the Committee determines. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Incentive Option, the aggregate Fair Market Value (on the date of grant of the Option) with respect to which Incentive Options become exercisable for the first time by a Holder during any calendar year (under all such plans of the Company and its Parent and Subsidiaries) shall not exceed $100,000.

(d)      Method of Exercise . Subject to whatever installment, exercise and waiting period provisions are applicable in a particular case, Options may be exercised in whole or in part at any time during the term of the Option by giving written notice of exercise to the Company specifying the number of Ordinary Shares to be purchased. Such notice shall be accompanied by payment in full of the purchase price, which shall be in cash or, if provided in the Agreement, either in Ordinary Shares (including Restricted Shares and other contingent awards under this Plan) or partly in cash and partly in such Ordinary Shares, or such other means which the Committee determines are consistent with the Plan’s purpose and applicable law. Cash payments shall be made by wire transfer, certified or bank check or personal check, in each case payable to the order of the Company; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to deliver certificates for Ordinary Shares with respect to which an Option is exercised until the Company has confirmed the receipt of good and available funds in payment of the purchase

Annex D-4

price thereof (except that, in the case of an exercise arrangement approved by the Committee and described in the last sentence of this paragraph, payment may be made as soon as practicable after the exercise). The Committee may permit a Holder to elect to pay the Exercise Price upon the exercise of an Option by irrevocably authorizing a third party to sell Ordinary Shares (or a sufficient portion of the shares) acquired upon exercise of the Option and remit to the Company a sufficient portion of the sale proceeds to pay the entire Exercise Price and any tax withholding resulting from such exercise.

(e)      Share Payments . Payments in the form of Ordinary Shares shall be valued at the Fair Market Value on the date of exercise. Such payments shall be made by delivery of certificates in negotiable form or other means to evidence the transfer for good and valid title thereto to the Company, free of any liens or encumbrances.

(f)      Transferability . Except as may be set forth in the next sentence of this Section or in the Agreement, no Option shall be transferable by the Holder other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and all Options shall be exercisable, during the Holder’s lifetime, only by the Holder (or, to the extent of legal incapacity or incompetency, the Holder’s guardian or legal representative). Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Holder, with the approval of the Committee, may transfer a Non-Qualified Option (i) (A) by gift, for no consideration, or (B) pursuant to a domestic relations order, in either case, to or for the benefit of the Holder’s “Immediate Family” (as defined below), or (ii) to an entity in which the Holder and/or members of Holder’s Immediate Family own more than fifty percent of the voting interest, subject to such limits as the Committee may establish and the execution of such documents as the Committee may require, and the transferee shall remain subject to all the terms and conditions applicable to the Non-Qualified Option prior to such transfer. The term “Immediate Family” shall mean any child, stepchild, grandchild, parent, stepparent, grandparent, spouse, former spouse, sibling, niece, nephew, mother-in-law, father-in-law, son-in-law, daughter-in-law, brother-in-law or sister-in-law, including adoptive relationships, any person sharing the Holder’s household (other than a tenant or employee), a trust in which these persons have more than fifty percent beneficial interest, and a foundation in which these persons (or the Holder) control the management of the assets. The Committee may, in its sole discretion, permit transfer of an Incentive Option in a manner consistent with applicable tax and securities law upon the Holder’s request.

(g)      Termination by Reason of Death . If a Holder’s employment by, or association with, the Company or a Subsidiary terminates by reason of death, any Option held by such Holder, unless otherwise determined by the Committee and set forth in the Agreement, shall thereupon automatically terminate, except that the portion of such Option that has vested on the date of death may thereafter be exercised by the legal representative of the estate or by the legatee of the Holder under the will of the Holder, for a period of one year (or such other greater or lesser period as the Committee may specify in the Agreement) from the date of such death or until the expiration of the stated term of such Option, whichever period is shorter.

(h)      Termination by Reason of Disability . If a Holder’s employment by, or association with, the Company or any Subsidiary terminates by reason of Disability, any Option held by such Holder, unless otherwise determined by the Committee and set forth in the Agreement, shall thereupon automatically terminate, except that the portion of such Option that has vested on the date of termination may thereafter be exercised by the Holder for a period of one year (or such other greater or lesser period as the Committee may specify in the Agreement) from the date of such termination or until the expiration of the stated term of such Option, whichever period is shorter.

(i)       Termination by Reason of Normal Retirement . If such Holder’s employment by, or association with, the Company or any Subsidiary terminates due to Normal Retirement, any Option held by such Holder, unless otherwise determined by the Committee and set forth in the Agreement, shall thereupon automatically terminate, except that the portion of such Option that has vested on the date of termination may thereafter be exercised by the Holder for a period of one year (or such other greater or lesser period as the Committee may specify in the Agreement) from the date of such termination or until the expiration of the stated term of such Option, whichever period is shorter.

(j)       Other Termination . If such Holder’s employment by, or association with, the Company or any Subsidiary terminates for any reason other than death, Disability or Normal Retirement, any Option held by such Holder, unless otherwise determined by the Committee and set forth in the Agreement, shall thereupon automatically terminate, except that, if the Holder’s employment is terminated by the Company or a Subsidiary without cause, the portion of such Option that has vested on the date of termination may thereafter be exercised by the Holder for a period of three months (or such other greater or lesser period as the Committee may specify in the Agreement) from the date of such termination or until the expiration of the stated term of such Option, whichever period is shorter.

Annex D-5

(k)      Buyout and Settlement Provisions . The Committee may at any time, in its sole discretion, offer to repurchase an Option previously granted, at a purchase price not to exceed the Repurchase Value, based upon such terms and conditions as the Committee shall establish and communicate to the Holder at the time that such offer is made.

(l)       Rights as Shareholder . A Holder shall have none of the rights of a Shareholder with respect to the shares subject to the Option until such shares shall be transferred to the Holder upon the exercise of the Option.

Section 6. Share Appreciation Rights.

6.1.    Grant and Exercise .  Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, the Committee may grant Share Appreciation Rights in tandem with an Option or alone and unrelated to an Option. The Committee may grant Share Appreciation Rights to participants who have been or are being granted Options under the Plan as a means of allowing such participants to exercise their Options without the need to pay the exercise price in cash. In the case of a Non-qualified Option, a Share Appreciation Right may be granted either at or after the time of the grant of such Non-qualified Option. In the case of an Incentive Option, a Share Appreciation Right may be granted only at the time of the grant of such Incentive Option.

6.2.    Terms and Conditions . Share Appreciation Rights shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:

(a)      Exercisability . Share Appreciation Rights shall be exercisable as shall be determined by the Committee and set forth in the Agreement, subject, for Share Appreciation Rights granted in tandem with an Incentive Option, to the limitations, if any, imposed by the Code with respect to related Incentive Options.

(b)      Termination . All or a portion of a Share Appreciation Right granted in tandem with an Option shall terminate and shall no longer be exercisable upon the termination or after the exercise of the applicable portion of the related Option.

(c)      Method of Exercise .  Share Appreciation Rights shall be exercisable upon such terms and conditions as shall be determined by the Committee and set forth in the Agreement and, for Share Appreciation Rights granted in tandem with an Option, by surrendering the applicable portion of the related Option. Upon exercise of all or a portion of a Share Appreciation Right and, if applicable, surrender of the applicable portion of the related Option, the Holder shall be entitled to receive a number of Ordinary Shares equal to the SAR Value divided by the Fair Market Value on the date the Share Appreciation Right is exercised.

(d)      Shares Available Under Plan . The granting of a Share Appreciation Right in tandem with an Option shall not affect the number of Ordinary Shares available for awards under the Plan. The number of shares available for awards under the Plan will, however, be reduced by the number of Ordinary Shares acquirable upon exercise of the Option to which such Share Appreciation Right relates.

Section 7. Restricted Shares.

7.1.    Grant .  Restricted Shares may be awarded either alone or in addition to other awards granted under the Plan. The Committee shall determine the eligible persons to whom, and the time or times at which, grants of Restricted Shares will be awarded, the number of shares to be awarded, the price (if any) to be paid by the Holder, the time or times within which such awards may be subject to forfeiture (“Restriction Period”), the vesting schedule and rights to acceleration thereof and all other terms and conditions of the awards.

7.2.    Terms and Conditions . Each Restricted Share award shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:

(a)      Certificates . Restricted Shares, when issued, will be represented by a certificate or certificates registered in the name of the Holder to whom such Restricted Shares shall have been awarded. During the Restriction Period, certificates representing the Restricted Shares and any securities constituting Retained Distributions (as defined below) shall bear a legend to the effect that ownership of the Restricted Shares (and such Retained Distributions) and the enjoyment of all rights appurtenant thereto are subject to the restrictions, terms and conditions provided in the Plan and the Agreement. Such certificates shall be deposited by the Holder with the Company, together with instruments of assignment, each endorsed in blank, which will permit transfer to the Company of all or any portion of the Restricted Shares and any securities constituting Retained Distributions that shall be forfeited or that shall not become vested in accordance with the Plan and the Agreement.

Annex D-6

(b)      Rights of Holder . Restricted Shares shall constitute issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares for all corporate purposes. The Holder will have the right to vote such Restricted Shares and to exercise all other rights, powers and privileges of a holder of Ordinary Shares with respect to such Restricted Shares, with the exceptions that (i) the Holder will not be entitled to delivery of the certificate or certificates representing such Restricted Shares until the Restriction Period shall have expired and unless all other vesting requirements with respect thereto shall have been fulfilled; (ii) the Company will retain custody of the certificate or certificates representing the Restricted Shares during the Restriction Period; (iii) the Company will retain custody of all dividends and distributions (“Retained Distributions”) made, paid or declared with respect to the Restricted Shares (and such Retained Distributions will be subject to the same restrictions, terms and conditions as are applicable to the Restricted Shares) until such time, if ever, as the Restricted Shares with respect to which such Retained Distributions shall have been made, paid or declared shall have become vested and with respect to which the Restriction Period shall have expired; and (iv) a breach of any of the restrictions, terms or conditions contained in this Plan or the Agreement or otherwise established by the Committee with respect to any Restricted Shares or Retained Distributions will cause a forfeiture of such Restricted Shares and any Retained Distributions with respect thereto.

(c)      Vesting; Forfeiture . Upon the expiration of the Restriction Period with respect to each award of Restricted Shares and the satisfaction of any other applicable restrictions, terms and conditions (i) all or part of such Restricted Shares shall become vested in accordance with the terms of the Agreement, and (ii) any Retained Distributions with respect to such Restricted Shares shall become vested to the extent that the Restricted Shares related thereto shall have become vested. Any such Restricted Shares and Retained Distributions that do not vest shall be forfeited to the Company and the Holder shall not thereafter have any rights with respect to such Restricted Shares and Retained Distributions that shall have been so forfeited.

Section 8. Other Share-Based Awards.

Other Share-Based Awards may be awarded, subject to limitations under applicable law, that are denominated or payable in, valued in whole or in part by reference to, or otherwise based on or related to, Ordinary Shares, as deemed by the Committee to be consistent with the purposes of the Plan, including, without limitation, purchase rights, Ordinary Shares awarded which are not subject to any restrictions or conditions, convertible or exchangeable debentures, or other rights convertible into Ordinary Shares and awards valued by reference to the value of securities of or the performance of specified Subsidiaries. These Other Share-Based Awards may include performance shares or options, whose award is tied to specific performance criteria. Other Share-Based Awards may be awarded either alone or in addition to or in tandem with any other awards under this Plan or any other plan of the Company. Each Other Share-Based Award shall be subject to such terms and conditions as may be determined by the Committee.

Section 9. Accelerated Vesting and Exercisability.

9.1.    Non-Approved Transactions .  If any one person, or more than one person acting as a group, acquires the ownership of shares of the Company that, together with the shares held by such person or group, constitutes more than 50% of the total fair market value or combined voting power of the shares of the Company, and the Board does not authorize or otherwise approve such acquisition, then the vesting periods of any and all Options and other awards granted and outstanding under the Plan shall be accelerated and all such Options and awards will immediately and entirely vest, and the respective holders thereof will have the immediate right to purchase and/or receive any and all Ordinary Shares subject to such Options and awards on the terms set forth in this Plan and the respective Agreements respecting such Options and awards. An increase in the percentage of shares owned by any one person, or persons acting as a group, as a result of a transaction in which the Company acquires its shares in exchange for property is not treated as an acquisition of shares for purposes of this Section 9.1.

9.2.    Approved Transactions . The Committee may, in the event of an acquisition by any one person, or more than one person acting as a group, together with acquisitions during the 12-month period ending on the date of the most recent acquisition by such person or persons, of assets from the Company that have a total gross fair market value equal to or more than 50% of the total gross fair market value of all of the assets of the Company immediately before such acquisition or acquisitions, or if any one person, or more than one person acting as a group, acquires the ownership of shares of the Company that, together with the shares held by such person or group, constitutes more than 50% of the total fair market value or combined voting power of the shares of the Company, which has been approved by the Company’s Board of Directors, (i) accelerate the vesting of any and all Options and other awards granted and outstanding under the Plan, or (ii) require a Holder of any award granted under this Plan to relinquish

Annex D-7

such award to the Company upon the tender by the Company to Holder of cash in an amount equal to the Repurchase Value of such award. For this purpose, gross fair market value means the value of the assets of the Company, or the value of the assets being disposed of, determined without regard to any liabilities associated with such assets.

9.3.    Code Section 409A . Notwithstanding any provisions of this Plan or any award granted hereunder to the contrary, no acceleration shall occur with respect to any award to the extent such acceleration would cause the Plan or an award granted hereunder to fail to comply with Code Section 409A.

Section 10. Amendment and Termination.

The Board may at any time, and from time to time, amend alter, suspend or discontinue any of the provisions of the Plan, but no amendment, alteration, suspension or discontinuance shall be made that would impair the rights of a Holder under any Agreement theretofore entered into hereunder, without the Holder’s consent, except as set forth in this Plan.

Section 11. Term of Plan.

11.1.  Effective Date . The Effective Date of the Plan shall be _______ __, 2015, subject to the approval of the Plan by the Company’s shareholders within one year after the Effective Date. Only Options may be granted under the Plan prior to such approval of the Plan by the Company’s shareholders. Any Options granted under the Plan prior to such approval shall be effective when made (unless otherwise specified by the Committee at the time of grant), but shall be conditioned upon, and subject to, such approval of the Plan by the Company’s shareholders and no Options shall vest or otherwise become free of restrictions prior to such approval.

11.2.  Termination Date . Unless terminated by the Board, this Plan shall continue to remain effective until such time as no further awards may be granted and all awards granted under the Plan are no longer outstanding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, grants of Incentive Options may be made only during the ten-year period beginning on the Effective Date.

Section 12. General Provisions.

12.1.  Written Agreements . Each award granted under the Plan shall be confirmed by, and shall be subject to the terms of, the Agreement executed by the Company and the Holder, or such other document as may be determined by the Committee. The Committee may terminate any award made under the Plan if the Agreement relating thereto is not executed and returned to the Company within 10 days after the Agreement has been delivered to the Holder for his or her execution.

12.2.  Unfunded Status of Plan . The Plan is intended to constitute an “unfunded” plan for incentive and deferred compensation. With respect to any payments not yet made to a Holder by the Company, nothing contained herein shall give any such Holder any rights that are greater than those of a general creditor of the Company.

12.3.  No Right of Employment . Nothing contained in the Plan or in any award hereunder shall be deemed to confer upon any Holder who is an employee of the Company or any Subsidiary any right to continued employment with the Company or any Subsidiary, nor shall it interfere in any way with the right of the Company or any Subsidiary to terminate the employment of any Holder who is an employee at any time.

12.4.  Investment Representations; Company Policy . The Committee may require each person acquiring Ordinary Shares pursuant to an Option or other award under the Plan to represent to and agree with the Company in writing that the Holder is acquiring the shares for investment without a view to distribution thereof. Each person acquiring Ordinary Shares pursuant to an Option or other award under the Plan shall be required to abide by all policies of the Company in effect at the time of such acquisition and thereafter with respect to the ownership and trading of the Company’s securities.

12.5.  Additional Incentive Arrangements . Nothing contained in the Plan shall prevent the Board from adopting such other or additional incentive arrangements as it may deem desirable, including, but not limited to, the granting of Options and the awarding of Ordinary Shares and cash otherwise than under the Plan; and such arrangements may be either generally applicable or applicable only in specific cases.

12.6.  Withholding Taxes . Not later than the date on which any Option or other award under the Plan creates tax liability to the Holder under any federal, state, local or other territorial laws, the Holder shall pay to the

Annex D-8

Company, or make arrangements satisfactory to the Committee regarding the payment of, any federal, state, local or other territorial taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld or paid with respect to such amount. If permitted by the Committee, tax withholding or payment obligations may be settled with Ordinary Shares, including Ordinary Shares that are part of the award that gives rise to the withholding requirement. The obligations of the Company under the Plan shall be conditioned upon such payment or arrangements and the Company or the Holder’s employer (if not the Company) shall, to the extent permitted by law, have the right to deduct any such taxes from any payment of any kind otherwise due to the Holder from the Company or any Subsidiary.

12.7.  Governing Law . The Plan and all awards made and actions taken thereunder shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the law of the Cayman Islands (without regard to choice of law provisions).

12.8.  Other Benefit Plans . Any award granted under the Plan shall not be deemed compensation for purposes of computing benefits under any retirement plan of the Company or any Subsidiary and shall not affect any benefits under any other benefit plan now or subsequently in effect under which the availability or amount of benefits is related to the level of compensation (unless required by specific reference in any such other plan to awards under this Plan).

12.9.  Non-Transferability . Except as otherwise expressly provided in the Plan or the Agreement, no right or benefit under the Plan may be alienated, sold, assigned, hypothecated, pledged, exchanged, transferred, encumbranced or charged, and any attempt to alienate, sell, assign, hypothecate, pledge, exchange, transfer, encumber or charge the same shall be void.

12.10.  Applicable Laws . The obligations of the Company with respect to all Options and awards under the Plan shall be subject to (i) all applicable laws, rules and regulations and such approvals by any governmental agencies as may be required in the United States, Cayman Islands and any other applicable jurisdiction, and (ii) the rules and regulations of any securities exchange on which the Ordinary Shares may be listed.

12.11.  Compliance with Laws of Other Jurisdictions . Awards may be granted to participants who are citizens or residents of a jurisdiction other than the United States on such terms and conditions different from those under the Plan as may be determined by the Committee to be necessary or advisable to achieve the purposes of the Plan while also complying with applicable local laws, customs and tax practices, including any such terms and conditions as may be set forth in any supplement or appendix to the Plan intended to govern the terms of any such Award. In no event shall the eligibility, grant, exercise or settlement of an Award constitute a term of employment, or entitlement with respect to employment, of any employee.

12.12.  Conflicts . If any of the terms or provisions of the Plan or an Agreement conflict with the requirements of Section 422 of the Code, then such terms or provisions shall be deemed inoperative to the extent they so conflict with such requirements. Additionally, if this Plan or any Agreement does not contain any provision required to be included herein under Section 422 of the Code, such provision shall be deemed to be incorporated herein and therein with the same force and effect as if such provision had been set out at length herein and therein. If any of the terms or provisions of any Agreement conflict with any terms or provisions of the Plan, then such terms or provisions shall be deemed inoperative to the extent they so conflict with the requirements of the Plan. Additionally, if any Agreement does not contain any provision required to be included therein under the Plan, such provision shall be deemed to be incorporated therein with the same force and effect as if such provision had been set out at length therein.

12.13.  Certain Awards Deferring or Accelerating the Receipt of Compensation . To the extent applicable, all awards granted, and all Agreements entered into, under the Plan are intended to comply with Section 409A of the Code, which was added by the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 and relates to deferred compensation under nonqualified deferred compensation plans. The Committee, in administering the Plan, intends, and the parties entering into any Agreement intend, to restrict provisions of any awards that may constitute deferred receipt of compensation subject to Code Section 409A requirements to those consistent with this Section. The Board may amend the Plan to comply with Code Section 409A in the future.

12.14.   Non-Registered Shares . The Ordinary Shares to be distributed under this Plan have not been, as of the Effective Date, registered under the Securities Act or any applicable state or foreign securities laws and the Company has no obligation to any Holder to register the Ordinary Shares or to assist the Holder in obtaining an exemption from the various registration requirements, or to list the Ordinary Shares on a national securities exchange or any other trading or quotation system, including Nasdaq.

Dear Sirs:

We have acted as counsel to Sino Mercury Acquisition Corp.

You have requested our opinion in connection with the federal income tax consequences of the proposed merger into Holdco on the securityholders of Sino.

In rendering this opinion, we have examined the Registration Statement initially filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 11, 2015, File No. 333-204074, as amended (the “Registration Statement”), and the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization by and among Sino, Holdco, Wins Finance Group Ltd.

The opinions set forth above are limited in all respects to the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, and related administrative pronouncements and judicial precedents, and we note that such opinions are not binding on the Internal Revenue Service or courts, any of which could take a contrary position.

Such laws and authorities may be repealed, revoked, or modified at any time, and any such change may have retroactive effect. We assume no obligation to update or supplement such opinions to reflect any change or developments in the application or interpretation of any such laws or authorities that may occur, or any fact or circumstance that may come to our attention, after the date of this letter.

We consent to the references to our firm under the captions set forth above in the Registration Statement and to the filing of this opinion as Exhibit 8.1 to the Registration Statement. In giving such consent, we do not admit that we come within the category of persons whose consent is required by Section 7 of the Securities Act or the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder.

ESCROW AGREEMENT

ESCROW AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) dated __________ 2015 by and among Wins Finance Holdings Inc., a Cayman Islands exempted company (“Surviving Pubco”), the representative (the “Representative”), as representative of the former shareholders (the “Company Shareholders”) of Wins Finance Group Ltd. (the “Company”), and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as escrow agent (the “Escrow Agent”). Capitalized terms used herein that are not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization dated as of April 24, 2015 and amended on May 5, 2015 (“Merger Agreement”).

WHEREAS, Surviving Pubco, the Company and the Company Shareholders (which, with their Permitted Transferees (as defined), are collectively referred to herein as the “Owners”) have consummated transactions under the Merger Agreement pursuant to which the Company Shareholders have sold to Surviving Pubco all of the outstanding common shares of the Company owned by the Company Shareholders in exchange for certain consideration consisting of cash and a number of ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share, of Surviving Pubco (“Surviving Pubco Ordinary Shares”).

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Surviving Pubco is to be indemnified in certain respects by the Company Shareholders.

WHEREAS, the parties desire to establish an escrow fund as collateral security for the indemnification obligations under the Merger Agreement.

The parties agree as follows:

1.       (a)      Concurrently with the execution hereof, each of the Company Shareholders (or Surviving Pubco, on their behalf) is delivering to the Escrow Agent, to be held in escrow pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, share certificates in the amounts set forth in Schedule A hereto issued in the name of such Company Shareholder representing a portion of the Surviving Pubco Ordinary Shares issued to such Company Shareholder pursuant to the Merger Agreement, together with two (2) assignments (separate from certificate) executed in blank by such Company Shareholder, with medallion signature guarantees. The Surviving Pubco Ordinary Shares represented by the share certificates so delivered by the Company Shareholders to the Escrow Agent are herein referred to in the aggregate as the “Escrow Fund.” The Escrow Agent shall maintain a separate account for each Company Shareholder, and, subsequent to any transfer permitted pursuant to Paragraph 1(d) hereof, for each Permitted Transferee for its respective portion of the Escrow Fund.

(b)      The Escrow Agent hereby agrees to act as escrow agent and to hold, safeguard and disburse the Escrow Fund pursuant to the terms and conditions hereof. It shall treat the Escrow Fund as a trust fund in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and not as the property of Surviving Pubco. The Escrow Agent’s duties hereunder shall terminate upon its distribution of the entire Escrow Fund in accordance with this Agreement.

(c)      Except as herein provided, the Company Shareholders shall retain all of their rights as shareholders of Surviving Pubco with respect to the Surviving Pubco Ordinary Shares constituting the Escrow Fund during the period the Escrow Fund is held by the Escrow Agent (the “Escrow Period”), including, without limitation, the right to vote their Surviving Pubco Ordinary Shares included in the Escrow Fund.

(d)      During the Escrow Period, all dividends payable in cash, shares (except as provided in the following sentence) or other non-cash property with respect to the Surviving Pubco Ordinary Shares included in the Escrow Fund shall be paid to the Owners. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if after the date hereof, the number of outstanding Surviving Pubco Ordinary Shares is increased by a share dividend payable in Surviving Pubco Ordinary Shares, or by a split up of the Surviving Pubco Ordinary Shares, or other similar event, then all such Surviving Pubco Ordinary Shares issued in respect of the Surviving Pubco Ordinary Shares then comprising the Escrow Fund as a result of such action (“Dividend Shares”) shall be delivered to the Escrow Agent to hold in accordance with the terms hereof. As used herein, the term “Escrow Fund” shall be deemed to include the Dividends Shares distributed thereon, if any.

(e)      During the Escrow Period, no sale, transfer or other disposition may be made of any or all of the Surviving Pubco Ordinary Shares in the Escrow Fund except (i) to a Permitted Transferee, (ii) by virtue of the laws of descent and distribution upon death of any Owner, or (iii) pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order; provided, however, that such permissive transfers may be implemented only upon the respective transferee’s written agreement to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement. As used in this Agreement, the

Annex F-1

term “Permitted Transferee” shall mean: (x) the members or shareholders of a Company Shareholder or their “Immediate Family” (as hereinafter defined); (y) an entity in which (A) a Company Shareholder and/or its members or shareholders beneficially own 100% of such entity’s voting and non-voting equity securities, or (B) a Company Shareholder and/or its members or shareholders are a general partner and in which such Company Shareholder and/or its members or shareholder’s beneficially own 100% of all capital accounts of such entity; and (z) a revocable trust established by any Owner during his or her lifetime for the benefit of such Owner or for the exclusive benefit of the Owner’s Immediate Family. As used in this Agreement, the term “Immediate Family” means, with respect to any Owner that is a natural person, a spouse, parent, lineal descendants, the spouse of any lineal descendant, and brothers and sisters (or a trust, all of whose current beneficiaries are members of an Immediate Family of the Company Shareholder). In connection with and as a condition to each permitted transfer, the Permitted Transferee shall deliver to the Escrow Agent an assignment separate from the certificate executed by the transferring Company Shareholder, with medallion signature guaranty, or where applicable, an order of a court of competent jurisdiction, evidencing the transfer of shares to the Permitted Transferee, together with two (2) assignments (separate from certificate) executed in blank by the Permitted Transferee, with medallion signature guaranties, with respect to the shares transferred to the Permitted Transferee. Upon receipt of such documents, the Escrow Agent shall deliver to Surviving Pubco’s transfer agent the original share certificate out of which the assigned shares are to be transferred, together with the executed assignment separate from the certificate executed by the transferring Company Shareholder, or a copy of the applicable court order, and shall request that Surviving Pubco issue new certificates representing (m) the number of shares, if any, that continue to be owned by the transferring Company Shareholder, and (n) the number of shares owned by the Permitted Transferee as the result of such transfer. Surviving Pubco, the transferring Company Shareholder and the Permitted Transferee shall cooperate in all respects with the Escrow Agent in documenting each such transfer and in effectuating the result intended to be accomplished thereby. During the Escrow Period, no Owner shall pledge or grant a security interest in such Owner’s Surviving Pubco Ordinary Shares included in the Escrow Fund or grant a security interest in such Owner’s rights under this Agreement.

2.       (a)      Surviving Pubco may make a claim for indemnification pursuant to the Merger Agreement (“Indemnification Claim”) against the Escrow Fund by giving notice (a “Notice”) to the Representative, with a copy to the Escrow Agent, specifying (i) the provision contained in the Merger Agreement which it asserts has been breached or otherwise entitles Surviving Pubco to indemnification, (ii) in reasonable detail, the nature and dollar amount of any Indemnification Claim, and (iii) whether the Indemnification Claim results from a Third Party Claim against Surviving Pubco. Furthermore, if the Indemnification Claim results from a Third Party Claim, the Notice shall specify whether the Loss may be covered (in whole or in part) under any insurance and the estimated amount of such Loss which may be covered under such insurance. Surviving Pubco also shall deliver to the Escrow Agent (with a copy to the Representative), immediately following delivery to the Escrow Agent of the Notice, a certification as to the date on which the Notice was delivered to the Representative.

(b)      If the Representative shall give a notice to Surviving Pubco (with a copy to the Escrow Agent) (a “Counter Notice”), within 30 days following the date of receipt (as specified in Surviving Pubco’s certification) by the Representative of a copy of the Notice, disputing whether the Indemnification Claim is indemnifiable under the Merger Agreement, Surviving Pubco and the Representative shall attempt to resolve such dispute by voluntary settlement as provided in paragraph 2(c) below. If no Counter Notice with respect to an Indemnification Claim is received by the Escrow Agent from the Representative within such 30-day period, the Indemnification Claim shall be deemed to be an Established Claim (as hereinafter defined) for purposes of this Agreement.

(c)      If the Representative delivers a Counter Notice to Surviving Pubco and the Escrow Agent, Surviving Pubco and the Representative shall, during the period of 60 days following the delivery of such Counter Notice or such greater period of time as the parties may agree to in writing (with a copy to the Escrow Agent), attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute with respect to which the Counter Notice was given. If Surviving Pubco and the Representative shall reach a settlement with respect to any such dispute, they shall jointly deliver written notice of such settlement to the Escrow Agent specifying the terms thereof. If Surviving Pubco and the Representative shall be unable to reach a settlement with respect to a dispute, such dispute shall be resolved in accordance with paragraph 2(d) below.

(d)      If Surviving Pubco and the Representative cannot resolve a dispute prior to expiration of the 60-day period referred to in paragraph 2(c) above (or such longer period as the parties may have agreed to in writing), then such dispute shall be submitted (and either party may submit such dispute) for resolution in accordance with Section 8.

(e)      As used in this Agreement, “Established Claim” means any (i) Indemnification Claim deemed established pursuant to the last sentence of paragraph 2(b) above, (ii) Indemnification Claim resolved in favor of

Annex F-2

Surviving Pubco by settlement pursuant to paragraph 2(c) above, resulting in a dollar award to Surviving Pubco, (iii) Indemnification Claim established by the decision of an arbitrator pursuant to paragraph 2(d) above, resulting in a dollar award to Surviving Pubco, (iv) Third Party Claim that has been sustained by a final determination (after exhaustion of any appeals) of a court of competent jurisdiction, or (v) Third Party Claim that Surviving Pubco and the Representative have jointly notified the Escrow Agent has been settled in accordance with the provisions of the Merger Agreement; provided that, notwithstanding anything herein, no Indemnification Claim by Surviving Pubco shall become an Established Claim unless and until the aggregate amount of indemnification Losses exceeds (i) $2,000,000 (the “Deductible”), in which the entire amount of such Established Claim(s) shall be payable from the first dollar.

(f)      (i)            Promptly after an Indemnification Claim becomes an Established Claim, Surviving Pubco and the Representative shall jointly deliver a notice to the Escrow Agent (a “Joint Notice”) directing the Escrow Agent to pay to Surviving Pubco, and the Escrow Agent promptly shall pay from the Escrow Fund to Surviving Pubco, a whole number of shares (as calculated pursuant to paragraph 2(f)(ii) below) representing the dollar amount (as rounded pursuant to paragraph 2(f)(ii) below) of the Established Claim (or, if at such time there remains in the Escrow Fund less than the full amount so payable, the full amount remaining in the Escrow Fund).

(ii)      Payment of an Established Claim shall be made from Escrow Shares on a pro rata basis in whole, not fractional, shares, as rounded pursuant to the following sentence, from the account maintained on behalf of each Owner. For purposes of each payment, (x) such shares shall be valued at the “Fair Market Value” (as defined below) and (y) to the extent that an Owner’s pro rata portion of an Established Claim which is payable after taking into account the Deductible results in a fractional number of Surviving Pubco Ordinary Shares, any fraction of such Surviving Pubco Ordinary Share that is less than one half of a share will be rounded down to the next whole share and any fraction of such Surviving Pubco Ordinary Share that is equal to or more than one half of a share will be rounded up to the next whole share. However, in no event shall the Escrow Agent be required to calculate Fair Market Value or make a determination of the number of shares to be delivered to Surviving Pubco in satisfaction of any Established Claim; rather, such calculation shall be included in and made part of the Joint Notice. The Escrow Agent shall transfer to Surviving Pubco out of the Escrow Fund that number of Surviving Pubco Ordinary Shares necessary to satisfy each Established Claim (after taking into account the Deductible), as set out in the Joint Notice. Any dispute between Surviving Pubco and the Representative concerning the calculation of Fair Market Value or the number of shares necessary to satisfy any Established Claim, or any other dispute regarding a Joint Notice, shall be resolved between Surviving Pubco and the Representative in accordance with the procedures specified in paragraph 2(d) above, and shall not involve the Escrow Agent. Each transfer of shares in satisfaction of an Established Claim shall be made by the Escrow Agent delivering to Surviving Pubco one or more share certificates held in each Owner’s account evidencing not less than such Owner’s pro rata portion of the aggregate number of shares specified in the Joint Notice, together with assignments separate from certificate executed in blank by such Owner and completed by the Escrow Agent in accordance with instructions included in the Joint Notice. Upon receipt of the share certificates and assignments, Surviving Pubco shall deliver to the Escrow Agent new certificates representing the number of shares owned by each Owner after such payment. The parties hereto (other than the Escrow Agent) agree that the foregoing right to make payments of Established Claims in Surviving Pubco Ordinary Shares may be made notwithstanding any other agreements restricting or limiting the ability of any Owner to sell any Surviving Pubco shares or otherwise. Surviving Pubco and the Representative shall be required to exercise utmost good faith in all matters relating to the preparation and delivery of each Joint Notice. As used herein, “Fair Market Value” means the average reported closing price for the Surviving Pubco Ordinary Shares on Nasdaq for the thirty trading days ending on the last trading day prior to (x) the day the Established Claim is paid with respect to Indemnification Claims paid on or before the Escrow Release Date and (y) the Escrow Release Date with respect to shares constituting the Pending Claims Reserve (as hereinafter defined), as applicable.

(iii)     Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, at such time as an Indemnification Claim has become an Established Claim, the Company Shareholders shall have the right to substitute for the Escrow Shares that otherwise would be paid in satisfaction of such claim (the “Claim Shares”), cash in an amount equal to the Fair Market Value of the Claim Shares (“Substituted Cash”). In such event (i) the Joint Notice shall include a statement describing the substitution of Substituted Cash for the Claim Shares, and (ii) substantially contemporaneously with the delivery of such Joint Notice, the Company Shareholders shall cause currently available funds to be delivered to the Escrow Agent in an amount equal to the Substituted Cash. Upon receipt of such Joint Notice and Substituted Cash, the Escrow Agent shall (y) in payment of the Established Claim described in the Joint Notice, deliver the Substituted Cash to Surviving Pubco in lieu of the Claim Shares, and (z) cause the Claim Shares to be returned to the Owners.

Annex F-3

3.       (a)      On the first Business Day after the Escrow Release Date, upon receipt of a joint notice, the Escrow Agent shall retain the number of shares in the Pending Claims Reserve and distribute and deliver to each Owner certificates representing any remaining Surviving Pubco Ordinary Shares then in such Owner’s account. If, at such time, there are any Indemnification Claims with respect to which Notices have been received but which have not been resolved pursuant to Section 2 hereof or in respect of which the Escrow Agent has not been notified of, and received a copy of, a final determination (after exhaustion of any appeals) by a court of competent jurisdiction, as the case may be (in either case, “Pending Claims”), and which, if resolved or finally determined in favor of Surviving Pubco, would result in a payment to Surviving Pubco, the Escrow Agent shall retain in the Pending Claims Reserve that number of Surviving Pubco Ordinary Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the dollar amount for which indemnification is sought in such Indemnification Claim, allocated pro rata from the account maintained on behalf of each Owner. Surviving Pubco and the Representative shall certify to the Escrow Agent the Fair Market Value to be used in calculating the Pending Claims Reserve and the number of Surviving Pubco Ordinary Shares to be retained therefor. Thereafter, if any Pending Claim becomes an Established Claim, Surviving Pubco and the Representative shall deliver to the Escrow Agent a Joint Notice directing the Escrow Agent to deliver to Surviving Pubco the number of shares in the Pending Claims Reserve in respect thereof determined in accordance with paragraph 2(f) above and to deliver to each Owner the remaining shares in the Pending Claims Reserve allocated to such Pending Claim, all as specified in a Joint Notice. If any Pending Claim is resolved against Surviving Pubco, Surviving Pubco and the Representative shall deliver to the Escrow Agent a Joint Notice directing the Escrow Agent to pay to each Owner its pro rata portion of the number of shares allocated to such Pending Claim in the Pending Claims Reserve.

(b)      As used herein, the “Pending Claims Reserve” shall mean, at the time any such determination is made, that number of Surviving Pubco Ordinary Shares in the Escrow Fund having a Fair Market Value equal to the sum of the aggregate dollar amounts claimed to be due with respect to all Pending Claims (as shown in the Notices of such Claims).

(c)      As used here, the “Escrow Release Date” shall mean, the earlier of (a) the 30 th day after the date Surviving Pubco has filed with the SEC its Annual Report for the year ending December 31, 2016 and (b) March 31, 2017, the Escrow Agent shall release all Escrow Shares then remaining in escrow, less that portion of the Escrow Shares applied or reserved with respect to Escrow Claims. Any Escrow Shares that continue to be held after the Escrow Release Date with respect to any unresolved Escrow Claim shall be delivered to the Owners in the same proportions as originally deposited into escrow, promptly upon such resolution, subject to reduction, if any, for the indemnification obligation associated with such resolved Escrow Claim.

4.       The Escrow Agent, Surviving Pubco, and the Representative shall cooperate in all respects with one another in the calculation of any amounts determined to be payable to Surviving Pubco and the Owners in accordance with this Agreement and in implementing the procedures necessary to effect such payments.

5.       (a)      The Escrow Agent undertakes to perform only such duties as are expressly set forth herein. It is understood that the Escrow Agent is not a trustee or fiduciary and is acting hereunder merely in a ministerial capacity.

(b)      The Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted by it in good faith and in the exercise of its own best judgment, and may rely conclusively and shall be protected in acting upon any order, notice, demand, certificate, opinion or advice of counsel (including counsel chosen by the Escrow Agent), statement, instrument, report or other paper or document (not only as to its due execution and the validity and effectiveness of its provisions, but also as to the truth and acceptability of any information therein contained) which is believed by the Escrow Agent in good faith to be genuine and to be signed or presented by the proper person or persons. The Escrow Agent shall not be bound by any notice or demand, or any waiver, modification, termination or rescission of this Agreement unless evidenced by a writing delivered to the Escrow Agent signed by the proper party or parties and, if the duties or rights of the Escrow Agent are affected, unless it shall have given its prior written consent thereto.

(c)      The Escrow Agent’s sole responsibility upon receipt of any notice requiring any payment to Surviving Pubco or release of the Shares to the Owners, in each case, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or, if a notice is disputed by Surviving Pubco or the Representative, the settlement with respect to any such dispute, whether by virtue of joint resolution, arbitration or determination of a court of competent jurisdiction, is to pay, after the conditions for payment set forth herein have been met, to Surviving Pubco or the Owners, as applicable, the amount specified in such notice, and the Escrow Agent shall have no duty to determine the validity, authenticity or enforceability of any specification or certification made in such notice.

(d)      The Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any action taken by it in good faith and believed by it to be authorized or within the rights or powers conferred upon it by this Agreement, and may consult with counsel of

Annex F-4

its own choice and shall have full and complete authorization and indemnification under Section 5(f), below, for any action taken or suffered by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with the opinion of such counsel.

(e)      The Escrow Agent may resign at any time and be discharged from its duties as escrow agent hereunder by its giving the other parties hereto written notice and such resignation shall become effective as hereinafter provided. Such resignation shall become effective at such time that the Escrow Agent shall turn over the Escrow Fund to a successor escrow agent appointed jointly by Surviving Pubco and the Representative. If no new escrow agent is so appointed within the 60 day period following the giving of such notice of resignation, the Escrow Agent may deposit the Escrow Fund with any court it reasonably deems appropriate.

(f)      The Escrow Agent shall be indemnified and held harmless by Surviving Pubco from and against any expenses, including counsel fees and disbursements, or loss suffered by the Escrow Agent in connection with any action, suit or other proceeding involving any claim which in any way, directly or indirectly, arises out of or relates to this Agreement, the services of the Escrow Agent hereunder, or the Escrow Fund held by it hereunder, other than expenses or losses arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Escrow Agent. Promptly after the receipt by the Escrow Agent of notice of any demand or claim or the commencement of any action, suit or proceeding, the Escrow Agent shall notify the other parties hereto in writing. In the event of the receipt of such notice, the Escrow Agent, in its sole discretion, may commence an action in the nature of interpleader in the any state or federal court located in New York County, State of New York.

(g)      The Escrow Agent shall be entitled to reasonable compensation from Surviving Pubco for all services rendered by it hereunder. The Escrow Agent shall also be entitled to reimbursement from Surviving Pubco for all expenses paid or incurred by it in the administration of its duties hereunder including, but not limited to, all counsel, advisors’ and agents’ fees and disbursements and all taxes or other governmental charges.

(h)      From time to time on and after the date hereof, Surviving Pubco and the Representative shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Escrow Agent such further documents and instruments and shall do or cause to be done such further acts as the Escrow Agent shall reasonably request to carry out more effectively the provisions and purposes of this Agreement, to evidence compliance herewith or to assure itself that it is protected in acting hereunder.

(i)       Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Escrow Agent shall not be relieved from liability hereunder for its own gross negligence or its own willful misconduct.

6.       This Agreement expressly sets forth all the duties of the Escrow Agent with respect to any and all matters pertinent hereto. No implied duties or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent shall not be bound by the provisions of any agreement among the parties hereto except this Agreement and shall have no duty to inquire into the terms and conditions of any agreement made or entered into in connection with this Agreement, including, without limitation, the Merger Agreement.

7.       This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties and their respective heirs, successors, assigns and legal representatives shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the law of New York applicable to contracts made and to be performed therein. This Agreement cannot be changed or terminated except by a writing signed by Surviving Pubco, the Escrow Agent, and a majority of the Company Shareholders.

8.       All disputes arising under this Agreement between Surviving Pubco and the Representative, including a dispute arising from a party’s failure or refusal to sign a Joint Notice, shall be handled in accordance with Section 10.8 of the Merger Agreement.

DEALER PROSPECTUS DELIVERY OBLIGATION

Until October [•], 2015, all dealers that effect transactions in these securities, whether or not participating in this offering, may be required to deliver a prospectus. This is in addition to the dealers’ obligation to deliver a prospectus when acting as underwriters and with respect to their unsold allotments or subscriptions.

 

PART II

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS

Item 20. Indemnification of Directors and Officers

Cayman Islands law does not limit the extent to which a company’s memorandum and articles of association may provide for indemnification of officers and directors, except to the extent any such provision may be held by the Islands courts to be contrary to public policy, such as to provide indemnification against fraud or willful default or the consequences of committing a crime. Holdco’s memorandum and articles of association provides for indemnification of our officers and directors to the maximum extent permitted by law, including for any liability incurred in their capacities as such, except through their own actual fraud, or willful default.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling us pursuant to the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is theretofore unenforceable.

Item 22.  Undertakings

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

(1)      To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post effective amendment to this registration statement:

i.         To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

ii.        To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement.

iii.       To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement.

(2)      That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(3)      To remove from registration by means of a post effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

(4)      To file a post-effective amendment to the registration statement to include any financial statements required by Item 8. A of form 20-F at the start of any delayed offering or throughout a continuous offering.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such Director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless

II-2

in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes as follows: that prior to any public reoffering of the securities registered hereunder through use of a prospectus which is a part of this registration statement, by any person or party who is deemed to be an underwriter within the meaning of Rule 145(c), the issuer undertakes that such reoffering prospectus will contain the information called for by the applicable registration form with respect to reofferings by persons who may be deemed underwriters, in addition to the information called for by the other items of the applicable form.

The registrant undertakes that every prospectus: (1) that is filed pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph, or (2) that purports to meet the requirements of Section 10(a)(3) of the Act and is used in connection with an offering of securities subject to Rule 415, will be filed as a part of an amendment to the registration statement and will not be used until such amendment is effective, and that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to respond to requests for information that is incorporated by reference into the prospectus pursuant to Item 4, 10(b), 11, or 13 of this form, within one business day of receipt of such request, and to send the incorporated documents by first class mail or other equally prompt means. This includes information contained in documents filed subsequent to the effective date of the registration statement through the date of responding to the request.

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to supply by means of a post-effective amendment all information concerning a transaction, and the company being acquired involved therein, that was not the subject of and included in the registration statement when it became effective.

II-3

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act, the registrant has duly caused this registration statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City of New York, State of New York, on the 11 th day of September, 2015.

2 ASSUMPTIONS

 

The following opinion is given only as to, and based on, circumstances and matters of fact existing and known to us on the date of this opinion. This opinion only relates to the laws of the Cayman Islands which are in force on the date of this opinion. In giving this opinion we have relied (without further verification) upon the certifications contained in the Director's Certificate and the Certificate of Good Standing. We have also relied upon the following assumptions, which we have not independently verified:

 

2.1 copy documents, conformed copies or drafts of documents provided to us are true and complete copies of, or in the final forms of, the originals;

 

2.2 all signatures, initials and seals are genuine;

 

2.3 no invitation has been or will be made by or on behalf of the Company to the public in the Cayman Islands to subscribe for any of the Ordinary Shares;

 

2.4 no monies paid to or for the account of any party under the Registration Statement represent or will represent criminal property or terrorist property (as defined in the Proceeds of Crime Law (2014 Revision) and the Terrorism Law (2015 Revision), respectively);

 

2.5 there is nothing under any law (other than the law of the Cayman Islands) which would or might affect the opinions hereinafter appearing. Specifically, we have made no independent investigation of the laws of the State of New York; and

 

2.6 the Company will receive money or money's worth in consideration for the issue of the Ordinary Shares, and none of the Ordinary Shares were or will be issued for less than par value.

 

Save as aforesaid we have not been instructed to undertake and have not undertaken any further enquiry or due diligence in relation to the transaction the subject of this opinion.

 

3 OPINIONS

 

Based upon, and subject to, the foregoing assumptions and the qualifications set out below, and having regard to such legal considerations as we deem relevant, we are of the opinion that:

 

3.1 The Company has been duly incorporated and is validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the Cayman Islands.

 

3.2 The Ordinary Shares to be offered and issued by the Company as contemplated by the Registration Statement have been duly authorised for issue, and when issued by the Company against payment in full of the consideration, in accordance with the terms set out in the Registration Statement, such Ordinary Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. As a matter of Cayman Islands law, a share is only issued when it has been entered in the register of members (shareholders).

  

2
 

 

4 QUALIFICATIONS

 

The opinions expressed above are subject to the following qualifications:

 

4.1 To maintain the Company in good standing under the laws of the Cayman Islands, annual filing fees must be paid and returns made to the Registrar of Companies.

 

Under Cayman Islands law, the register of members (shareholders) is prima facie evidence of title to shares and this register would not record a third party interest in such shares. However, there are certain limited circumstances where an application may be made to a Cayman Islands court for a determination on whether the register of members reflects the correct legal position. Further, the Cayman Islands court has the power to order that the register of members maintained by a company should be rectified where it considers that the register of members does not reflect the correct legal position. As far as we are aware, such applications are rarely made in the Cayman Islands and for the purposes of the opinion given in paragraph 3.2, there are no circumstances or matters of fact known to us on the date of this opinion which would properly form the basis for an application for an order for rectification of the register of members of the Company, but if such an application were made in respect of the Company's Ordinary Shares, then the validity of such shares may be subject to re-examination by a Cayman Islands court.

 

Except as specifically stated herein, we make no comment with respect to any representations and warranties which may be made by or with respect to the Company in any of the documents or instruments cited in this opinion or otherwise with respect to the commercial terms of the transactions the subject of this opinion.

 

We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement and to the reference to our firm in the prospectus included in the Registration Statement. In providing our consent, we do not thereby admit that we are in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Act or the Rules and Regulations of the Commission thereunder.

 

This opinion is addressed to you and may be relied upon by you, your counsel and holders of Ordinary Shares to be offered and issued by the Company as contemplated by the Registration Statement. This opinion is limited to the matters detailed herein and is not to be read as an opinion with respect to any other matter.

  

Yours faithfully

3 The Resolutions were duly passed in the manner prescribed in the Memorandum and Articles (including, without limitation, with respect to the disclosure of interests (if any) by the sole director of the Company) and have not been amended, varied or revoked in any respect.

 

4 The authorised share capital of the Company is US$10,100 divided into 100,000,000 ordinary shares of a par value of US$0.0001 each and 1,000,000 preferred shares of a par value of US$0.0001 each. The issued share capital of the Company is 10,000 ordinary shares of US$0.0001 par value each, which have been issued and are fully paid up.

 

5 The sole shareholder of the Company has not restricted or limited the powers of the sole director in any way. There is no contractual or other prohibition (other than as arising under Cayman Islands law) binding on the Company prohibiting it from entering into and performing its obligations under the Registration Statement and any documents in connection therewith.

 

6 The sole director of the Company at the date of the Resolutions and at the date hereof was and is as follows: Richard Xu.

 

7 The minute book and corporate records of the Company as maintained at its registered office in the Cayman Islands and made available to you are complete and accurate in all material respects, and all minutes and resolutions filed therein represent a complete and accurate record of all meetings of the shareholders and directors (or any committee thereof) of the Company (duly convened in accordance with the Articles of Association of the Company) and all resolutions passed at the meetings or passed by written resolution or consent, as the case may be.

Nor has any receiver been appointed over any of the Company's property or assets.

 

11 To the best of my knowledge and belief, having made due inquiry, there are no circumstances or matters of fact existing which may properly form the basis for an application for an order for rectification of the register of members of the Company.

Each Holder agrees that such Holder shall treat as confidential the receipt of the notice of Demand Registration and shall not disclose or use the information contained in such notice of Demand Registration without the prior written consent of the Company until such time as the information contained therein is or becomes available to the public generally, other than as a result of disclosure by the Holder in breach of the terms of this Agreement.

2.5      Shelf Registrations .

 

(a)

 

(i)      Subject to the availability of required financial information, as promptly as practicable after the Company receives written notice of a request for a Shelf Registration from holders of at least a majority of the Registrable Securities, the Company shall prepare and file with the SEC, a Registration Statement for an offering to be made on a delayed or continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 of the Securities Act registering the resale from time to time by Holders of all of the Registrable Securities held by the Holders (the “ Shelf Registration Statement ”). The Shelf Registration Statement shall be on Form S-3 or Form F-3 (if the Company is eligible to use Form S-3 or Form F-3) or another appropriate form permitting registration of such Registrable Securities for resale by such Holders. The Company shall use reasonable best efforts to cause the Shelf Registration Statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act as soon as possible after filing, and once effective, to keep the Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective under the Securities Act at all times for such time period as is specified in such request, or until the expiration of the Effectiveness Period, whichever is earlier.

 

(ii)     Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities otherwise instruct the Company in writing, subject to the availability of required financial information, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to prepare a Shelf Registration Statement with respect to all of the Registrable Securities (or such other number of Registrable Securities specified in writing by the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities) and use its reasonable best efforts to file such Shelf Registration Statement with the SEC as soon as practicable following the Closing Date (as defined in the Merger Agreement) but in any event no later than the expiration of the Lock-Up Period.

 

(b)    A Shelf Registration Statement shall be on Form S-3 or Form F-3 (if the Company is eligible to use Form S-3 or Form F-3) or another appropriate form permitting registration of such Registrable Securities for resale by such Holders. The Company shall use reasonable best efforts to cause a Shelf Registration Statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act as soon as possible after filing, and once effective, to keep such Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective under the Securities Act at all times for such time period as is specified in such request, or until the expiration of the Effectiveness Period, whichever is earlier.

 

6  
 

 

(c)     In the event that a Shelf Registration Statement is effective, the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities covered by such Shelf Registration Statement shall be entitled to an unlimited number of Underwritten Takedowns, so long as the Shelf Registration Statement remains in effect; provided , that the estimated market value of the Registrable Securities to be sold in any Underwritten Takedown is at least $[________] in the aggregate. The requesting Holders shall make such election by delivering to the Company a written request (a “ Shelf Takedown Request ”) for such offering specifying the number of Registrable Securities available for sale pursuant to such Shelf Registration Statement (the “ Shelf Registrable Securities ”) that the requesting Holders desire to sell pursuant to such Underwritten Takedown. As promptly as practicable, but at least 10 Business Days prior to the anticipated filing date of the prospectus or prospectus supplement relating to such Underwritten Takedown, the Company shall give written notice (the “ Shelf Takedown Notice ”) of such Shelf Takedown Request to all other Holders of Shelf Registrable Securities. The Company, subject to Sections 2.6 and 11.1 hereof, shall include in such Underwritten Takedown the Shelf Registrable Securities of any Holder of Shelf Registrable Securities that shall have made a written request to the Company for inclusion in such Underwritten Takedown (which request shall specify the maximum number of Shelf Registrable Securities intended to be disposed of by such Holder) within seven Business Days after the receipt of the Shelf Takedown Notice. The Company shall, as expeditiously as possible, use its reasonable best efforts to facilitate such Underwritten Takedown, to the extent necessary to permit the disposition (in accordance with the intended methods thereof as aforesaid) of the Registrable Securities to be so offered. Each Holder agrees that such Holder shall treat as confidential the receipt of the Shelf Takedown Notice and shall not disclose or use the information contained in such Shelf Takedown Notice without the prior written consent of the Company until such time as the information contained therein is or becomes available to the public generally, other than as a result of disclosure by the Holder in breach of the terms of this Agreement.

 

(d)     Promptly after the expiration of the seven-Business Day-period referred to in Section 2.5(c) , the Company will notify all Holders of Shelf Registrable Securities participating in the Underwritten Takedown of the identities of the other participating Holders and the number of shares of Registrable Securities requested to be included therein.

 

(e)     Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities wish to engage in an underwritten block trade off of a Shelf Registration Statement (either through filing an Automatic Shelf Registration Statement or through a takedown from an already existing Shelf Registration Statement), then notwithstanding the foregoing time periods, such Holders only need to notify the Company of the block trade Underwritten Takedown five Business Days prior to the day such offering is to commence and the Company shall notify other Holders of Registrable Securities and such other Holders of Registrable Securities must elect whether or not to participate two Business Days prior to the day such offering is to commence, and the Company shall as expeditiously as possible use its reasonable best efforts to facilitate such offering (which may close as early as three Business Days after the date it commences); provided that the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities shall use reasonable best efforts to work with the Company and the underwriters prior to making such request in order to facilitate preparation of the registration statement, prospectus and other offering documentation related to the underwritten block trade; provided , further , that Holders of Registrable Securities (other than the Company’s executive officers and directors and Holders that beneficially own 1% or more of the Company’s Ordinary Shares then outstanding) shall be entitled to participate in a block trade Underwritten Takedown only with the consent of the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities.

 

7  
 

 

(f)      The Company shall, at the request of the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities covered by a Shelf Registration Statement, file any prospectus supplement or, if the applicable Shelf Registration Statement is an Automatic Shelf Registration Statement, any post-effective amendments and otherwise take any action necessary to include therein all disclosure and language deemed necessary or advisable by the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities, to effect such Underwritten Takedown.

 

2.6.    Priority on Demand Registrations and Underwritten Takedowns . If the managing underwriter in a Demand Registration (if it is an underwritten offering) or an Underwritten Takedown advises the Company and the Requesting Holder that, in its view, the number of shares of Registrable Securities requested to be included in such underwritten offering exceeds the largest number of shares that can be sold without having an adverse effect on such offering, including the price at which such shares can be sold (the “ Maximum Offering Size ”), the Company shall include in such underwritten offering, up to the Maximum Offering Size, Registrable Securities requested to be included in such Underwritten Takedown by all participating Holders and allocated pro rata among the Holders thereof on the basis of the relative number of Registrable Securities held by each such Holder at such time (it being understood that for the purposes of calculating the relative number of Registrable Securities held by any participating Holder, in the event such Holder owns any security of the Company that may be converted, exercised or exchanged into Registrable Securities, the relative number of Registrable Securities held by such Holder shall be determined as if such Holder exercised such equity security on a cashless exercise basis).

 

2.7.    Restrictions on Demand Registration and Shelf Offerings .

 

(a)     The Company shall not be obligated to effect any Demand Registration within six months after the effective date of a previous Demand Registration. The Company may postpone, for up to 90 days from the date of the request, the filing or the effectiveness of a registration statement for a Demand Registration or suspend, for a period of up to 90 days from the date of delivery of a Suspension Notice below (a “ Suspension Period ”), the use of a prospectus that is part of a Shelf Registration Statement (and therefore suspend sales of the Shelf Registrable Securities) by providing written notice to the Holders of Registrable Securities if the Company’s board of directors determines in its reasonable good faith judgment that the offer or sale of Registrable Securities would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on any proposal or plan by the Company to engage in any material acquisition of assets or stock (other than in the ordinary course of business) or any material merger, consolidation, tender offer, recapitalization, reorganization or other transaction involving the Company; provided that in such event, the Holders of Registrable Securities shall be entitled to withdraw such request for a Demand Registration or Underwritten Takedown and the Company shall pay all Registration Expenses in connection with such Demand Registration or Underwritten Takedown (it being further understood that a withdrawn request for a Demand Registration or Underwritten Takedown shall not count as one of the permitted Demand Registrations). The Company may delay a Demand Registration hereunder only once in any twelve-month period. The Company may extend the Suspension Period of a Shelf Registration Statement for an additional consecutive 60 days with the consent of the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities registered under the applicable Shelf Registration Statement, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

7.2    Each Holder agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act severally and not jointly against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense described in the indemnity contained in Section 7.1 , as incurred, but only with respect to untrue statements or omissions, or alleged untrue statements or omissions, made in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto) or any preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) in reliance upon and in conformity with written information about such Holder furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such Holder expressly for use in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto) or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto).

 

17  
 

 

7.3.   Each party entitled to indemnification under this Section 7 (the “ Indemnified Party ”) shall give notice to the party required to provide indemnification (the “ Indemnifying Party ”) promptly after such Indemnified Party has actual knowledge of any claim as to which indemnity may be sought and shall permit the Indemnifying Party to assume the defense of any such claim or any litigation resulting therefrom, provided that counsel for the Indemnifying Party, who shall conduct the defense of such claim or any litigation resulting therefrom, shall be approved by the Indemnified Party (whose approval shall not be withheld unreasonably) and shall not without the consent of the Indemnified Person, be counsel to the Indemnifying Person. In any such proceeding, any Indemnified Person shall have the right to retain its own counsel to participate in the defense of such proceeding, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Person unless (i) the Indemnifying Person and the Indemnified Person shall have mutually agreed to the contrary; (ii) the Indemnifying Person has failed within a reasonable time to retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person; (iii) the Indemnified Person shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or in addition to those available to the Indemnifying Person; or (iv) the named parties in any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the Indemnifying Person and the Indemnified Person and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interest between them. It is understood and agreed that the Indemnifying Person shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel which shall be limited to one firm in any jurisdiction) for all Indemnified Persons, and that all such reasonable fees and expenses shall be paid or reimbursed as they are incurred upon receipt from the Indemnified Person of a written request for payment thereof accompanied by a written statement with reasonable supporting detail of such fees and expenses. The failure of any Indemnified Party to give notice as provided herein shall relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Section 7 only if such failure is materially prejudicial to the ability of the Indemnifying Party to defend such action, and such failure shall in no event relieve the Indemnifying Party of any liability that he or it may have to any Indemnified Party otherwise than under this Section 7 . No Indemnifying Party, in the defense of any such claim or litigation, shall, except with the consent of each Indemnified Party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement unless such settlement (x) includes as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party of a release from all liability with respect to such claim or litigation, and (y) does not include any statement as to or any admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any Indemnified Person.

 

18  
 

 

7.4.   If the indemnification provided under this Section 7 hereof from the Indemnifying Party is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an Indemnified Party in respect of any loss, liability, claim, damage and expense referred to herein, then the Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying the Indemnified Party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the Indemnified Party as a result of such loss, liability, claim, damage and expense in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, was made by, or relates to information supplied by, such Indemnifying Party or Indemnified Party, and the Indemnifying Party’s and Indemnified Party’s relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action; provided , however , that the liability of any Holder under this Section 7.4 shall be limited to the amount of the net proceeds received by such Holder in such offering giving rise to such liability. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses or other liabilities referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in Sections 7.1 , 7.2 and 7.3 above, any legal or other fees, charges or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 7.4 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation, which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this Section 7.4 . No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution pursuant to this Section 7.4 from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

 

7.5.   The indemnification provided for under this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party or any officer, director or controlling person of such indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of securities by such Indemnified Party.

 

8.        Information by Holders and Other Shareholders .

 

Each Holder shall furnish to the Company such information regarding such Holder and the distribution proposed by such Holder as the Company may reasonably request in writing and as shall be required in connection with any Registration Statement.

 

9.       Rule 144 Reporting .

 

With a view to making available the benefits of certain rules and regulations of the SEC that may permit the sale of the Ordinary Shares to the public without registration, the Company shall for so long as Registrable Securities are outstanding:

 

(a)     make and keep public information available as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144;

 

(b)     file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Securities Exchange Act; and

 

(c)     so long as any Holder owns any securities constituting or representing Registrable Securities, furnish to such Holder upon request a written statement by the Company as to its compliance with the reporting requirements of Rule 144, and of the Securities Act and the Securities Exchange Act.

 

19  
 

 

10.      Removal of Legends .

 

If requested by a Holder, the Company shall cooperate with such Holder and the Company’s transfer agent to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates (or execution of a book entry transfer) representing Registrable Securities to be delivered to a transferee pursuant to the Registration Statement, which certificates or transfer shall be free, to the extent permitted by applicable law and permissible under the terms of the Merger Agreement, of all restrictive legends, and to enable such Registrable Securities to be in such denominations and registered in such names as any such Holders may reasonably request.

12.2   Governing Law . This Agreement shall be governed and construed under the laws of the State of New York, without regard to conflicts of laws and principles thereof.

 

12.3   Successors and Assigns . Subject to any Lock-Up Period to which a Holder may be subject, the rights of a Holder hereunder may be assigned and transferred to any transferee acquiring Registrable Securities from such Holder constituting at least 100,000 Registrable Securities (as adjusted for any share dividend, share split, combination or other similar recapitalization); provided , however , that no transferee may be assigned and transferred any of the foregoing rights unless the Company is given a written notice by the assigning and transferring party (not later than the time of such assignment and transfer) stating the name and address of the transferee and identifying the securities of the Company as to which the rights in question are being assigned and transferred. Such transferee shall succeed to all of the rights and obligations of a “Holder of Registrable Securities” under this Agreement by obtaining an executed Addendum Agreement to this Agreement from such Person in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto (an “ Addendum Agreement ”). Upon the execution and delivery of an Addendum Agreement by such Person, the Ordinary Shares acquired by such Person shall constitute Registrable Securities and such Person shall be a Holder of Registrable Securities under this Agreement with respect to the acquired Ordinary Shares, and the Company shall add such Person’s name and address to the Schedule of Investors hereto and circulate such information to the parties to this Agreement.

 

12.4   Additional Parties . Subject to the prior written consent of the Company and Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities, the Company may permit any Person who acquires Ordinary Shares or rights to acquire Ordinary Shares from an existing Holder after the date hereof to become a party to this Agreement and to succeed to all of the rights and obligations of a “Holder of Registrable Securities” under this Agreement by obtaining an executed Addendum Agreement. Upon the execution and delivery of an Addendum Agreement by such Person, the Ordinary Shares acquired by such Person shall constitute Registrable Securities and such Person shall be a Holder of Registrable Securities under this Agreement with respect to the acquired Ordinary Shares, and the Company shall add such Person’s name and address to the Schedule of Investors hereto and circulate such information to the parties to this Agreement.

12.6  Amendments and Waivers . Except as otherwise provided herein, the provisions of this Agreement may be amended, modified or waived only with the prior written consent of the Company and Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities; provided that no such amendment, modification or waiver that would materially and adversely affect a Holder or group of Holders of Registrable Securities in a manner materially different than any other Holder or group of Holders of Registrable Securities (other than amendments and modifications required to implement the provisions of Section 12.4 ), shall be effective against such Holder or group of Holders of Registrable Securities without the consent of the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities that are held by the group of Holders that is materially and adversely affected thereby. The failure or delay of any Person to enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement shall in no way be construed as a waiver of such provisions and shall not affect the right of such Person thereafter to enforce each and every provision of this Agreement in accordance with its terms. A waiver or consent to or of any breach or default by any Person in the performance by that Person of his, her or its obligations under this Agreement shall not be deemed to be a consent or waiver to or of any other breach or default in the performance by that Person of the same or any other obligations of that Person under this Agreement.

 

12.7   Counterparts . This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which taken together shall constitute but one and the same instrument.

The parties to this Agreement shall be entitled to enforce their rights under this Agreement specifically (without posting a bond or other security), to recover damages caused by reason of any breach of any provision of this Agreement and to exercise all other rights existing in their favor. The parties hereto agree and acknowledge that a breach of this Agreement would cause irreparable harm and money damages would not be an adequate remedy for any such breach and that, in addition to any other rights and remedies existing hereunder, any party shall be entitled to specific performance and/or other injunctive relief from any court of law or equity of competent jurisdiction (without posting any bond or other security) in order to enforce or prevent violation of the provisions of this Agreement.

 

12.9   Severability . If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions set forth herein shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated thereby, and the parties hereto shall use their reasonable best efforts to find and employ an alternative means to achieve the same or substantially the same result as that contemplated by such term, provision, covenant or restriction, it being intended that all of the rights and privileges of the parties hereto shall be enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.

 

12.10  No Recourse . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company and each Holder of Registrable Securities agrees and acknowledges that no recourse under this Agreement or any documents or instruments delivered in connection with this Agreement, shall be had against any current or future director, officer, employee, general or limited partner or member of any Holder of Registrable Securities or of any Affiliate or assignee thereof, whether by the enforcement of any assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding, or by virtue of any statute, regulation or other applicable law, it being expressly agreed and acknowledged that no personal liability whatsoever shall attach to, be imposed on or otherwise be incurred by any current or future officer, agent or employee of any Holder of Registrable Securities or any current or future member of any Holder of Registrable Securities or any current or future director, officer, employee, partner or member of any Holder of Registrable Securities or of any Affiliate or assignee thereof, as such for any obligation of any Holder of Registrable Securities under this Agreement or any documents or instruments delivered in connection with this Agreement for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such obligations or their creation.

 

22  
 

 

12.11 Entire Agreement . This Agreement is intended by the parties hereto as a final expression of their agreement and is intended to be a complete and exclusive statement of the agreement and understanding of the parties hereto in respect of the subject matter contained herein and the registration rights granted by the Company with respect to the Registrable Securities.

 

12.12 Other Registration Rights . The Company represents and warrants that no person, other than a Holder of Registrable Securities, has any right to require the Company to register any securities of the Company for sale or to include such securities of the Company in any registration filed by the Company for the sale of securities for its own account or for the account of any other person. This Agreement supersedes any other registration rights agreement or similar agreement with any Holder, including, without limitation, the Prior Agreement, and the Prior Agreement is hereby terminated. After the date of this Agreement, subject to Section 2.9, the Company shall not enter into any agreement with any Holder or prospective Holder of any securities of the Company that would grant such Holder registration rights on a parity with or senior to those granted to the Holders hereunder without the prior written consent of the Holders at the time in question.

 

12.13 Further Assurances . At any time or from time to time after the date hereof, the parties hereto agree to cooperate with each other, and at the request of any other party, to execute and deliver any further instruments or documents and to take all such further action as the other party may reasonably request in order to evidence or effect the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and to otherwise carry out the intent of the parties hereunder.

 

12.14 No Inconsistent Agreements . The Company shall not hereafter enter into any agreement with respect to its securities which is inconsistent with or violates the rights granted to the Holders of Registrable Securities in this Agreement.
