RESUMPTION GUIDANCE

On 10 September 2018 and 1 February 2019, the Company has been notified by the Stock Exchange of the following resumption guidance (''Resumption Guidance'') for the Company:

  1. publish outstanding financial results and address any audit qualifications; and
  2. inform the market of all material information for the shareholders and the investors to appraise the Company's position.
  3. demonstrate a sufficient level of operations or assets under Rule 13.24 to warrant the continued listing the Company's shares.

For the avoidance of doubts, the Company must remedy the issue(s) causing its trading suspension and fully comply with the Rules to the Stock Exchange's satisfaction before trading in its securities is allowed to resume. For this purpose, the Company has the primary responsibility to devise its action plan for resumption. To assist the Company, the Stock Exchange set out the additional resumption guidance which the Stock Exchange may modify or supplement if the Company's situation changes.

The Stock Exchange has indicated that it might modify or supplement the Resumption Guidance if the Company's situation changes.

UPDATE ON THE SUSPENSION OF TRADING

In the fourth week of March 2019, Board members met Wuxi government officials to continue to learn more about the status of winding up and liquidation of Wuxi Ruinian and to seek local government support and cooperation.

In the third week of April 2019, based on the preliminary due diligence investigations in Wuxi Ruinian conducted by the members of the Board and the PRC Counsels, the Board noted that on 17 August 2018, the Court accepted the application for bankruptcy of Wuxi Ruinian filed by Bank of Jiangsu and designated the bankruptcy administrator. Wuxi Yinqian Bioscience Company Limited* (無錫銀乾生物科技有限公司) has entered into the bankruptcy reorganisation procedures on 29 January 2019.

Mr. Wang Fucai (''Mr. Wang''), the former chief executive officer and an executive Director, has been imposed by the police in the PRC criminal coercive measures (刑事). As the Company has not been able to contact Mr. Wang and other former executive directors to understand the actual situation of the company involved, the status of the assets included in the latest audited report has not been verified. The PRC Counsels are in the process of investigating the status of the subsidiaries in China and the Company will report to shareholders as and where appropriate.

The Company will use its best endeavours to cooperate with the Stock Exchange in relation to fulfilling the requirements under the resumption conditions prior to the resumption of trading and any other requirements in this regard after the resumption of trading.
