The above summary of the Loan Agreement, Security Agreement and Note is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Loan Agreement, which is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.1, the Security Agreement, which is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.2, and the Note, which is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.3.

Affiliation of APB. APB is affiliated with Chan Heng Fai, a director and principal shareholder of the Company, by virtue of Mr. Chan’s equity ownership of parent company of APB and his service as the Executive Chairman of the parent company of APB. Company Directors Chan Heng Fai and Lum Kan Fai recused themselves from discussion and approval of the Credit Line Documents and Term Sheet thereto.
Forward Looking Statements. The summary of the Credit Line Documents may contain “forward looking statements” under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Specifically, the permitted use of sums loaned under the Credit Line Documents for funding possible expansion of Company business operations is a not a representation or guarantee by the Company of any future expansion of Company operations or an indication of or representation as to future business or financial performance or activities of the Company. As previously disclosed by the Company, any expansion of Company’s operations within existing markets or new geographical markets would require third party funding or a significant increase in operational net income. Whether the Company will attempt to expand its operations in an existing markets or new geographical markets will depend on a number of factors above and beyond availability of funding. Global and regional economic conditions, business and financial demands and requirements of existing customer accounts, unexpected operational costs or liabilities, impact of inflation on expansion costs, regulatory and legal barriers to expansion, availability of necessary skilled workers, changes in competition in existing and prospective markets for Company products and services and other risk factors unknown or not foreseen by the Company will impact on any decision to attempt any expansion of operations. Actual results of operations and business development activities may vary significantly from any results implied by forward looking statements. There are many factors affecting a decision to expand operations and those factors are subject to change or may be unforeseen or unforeseeable by the Company. Those factors include meeting the demands of existing business operations in established markets and the response of competition to any effort to expand operations.
