NOTICE OF SPECIAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS
OF 2020 CHINACAP ACQUIRCO, INC.
TO BE HELD ON October 19, 2009

To the Stockholders of 2020 ChinaCap Acquirco, Inc.:

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the special meeting of stockholders of 2020 ChinaCap Acquirco, Inc. (“2020”), a Delaware corporation, will be held at 9:00 a.m. local time, on October 19, 2009, at the offices of Seyfarth Shaw LLP, 131 S. Dearborn St., Chicago, Illinois 60603. You are cordially invited to attend the meeting, which will be held to consider and vote upon Proposals to:

(1) approve the Agreement for Sale and Purchase of Windrace International Company Limited (“Windrace”) dated May 8, 2009, as supplemented by a supplemental purchase agreement dated July 27, 2009 and a letter agreement dated September 9, 2009, among Windrace and the ordinary shareholders of Windrace (the “Sellers”) on the one hand, and 2020 and Exceed Company Ltd. (“Exceed”), on the other hand, which, among other things, provides for the purchase by Exceed of all the issued and outstanding ordinary shares of Windrace from the Sellers (the “Acquisition”). Exceed is a wholly-owned subsidiary of 2020 formed under the laws of British Virgin Islands with limited liability — this proposal is referred to as the Acquisition Proposal;
(2) approve the proposed merger of 2020 with and into Exceed with Exceed as the surviving entity. This will result in the redomestication of 2020 to the British Virgin Islands (the “Redomestication”) —  this proposal is referred to as the Redomestication Proposal; and
(3) 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, 2020 does not receive the requisite shareholder vote for approval of the Acquisition or Redomestication — this proposal is referred to as the “Adjournment Proposal.”

These items of business are described in the attached proxy statement/prospectus, which you are encouraged to read in its entirety before voting. Only holders of record of 2020 common stock at the close of business on October 2, 2009 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, 2020’s board of directors has determined that the Acquisition Proposal, the Redomestication Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal are fair to and in the best interests of 2020 and its stockholders and unanimously recommends that you vote or give instruction to vote “FOR” the approval of all of the proposals.

We will not consummate the transactions described under Proposal (1) unless the Redomestication Proposal in Proposal (2) is also approved. Similarly, the transactions described under Proposal (2) will not take place if the Acquisition Proposal in Proposal (1) is not approved. Consequently, each of Proposal (1) and Proposal (2) must be approved for either transaction to be completed.

All of 2020’s 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 2020 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 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 Acquisition and the Redomestication Proposals.


 
 

TABLE OF CONTENTS

A complete list of 2020’s stockholders of record entitled to vote at the special meeting will be available beginning ten days before the special meeting at the principal executive offices of 2020 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.

The board of directors of 2020 ChinaCap Acquirco, Inc. (“2020”) has unanimously approved the acquisition of Windrace International Company Limited (“Windrace”), a holding company incorporated in the Cayman Islands with operating subsidiaries in the People’s Republic of China, pursuant to the Agreement for Sale and Purchase of Windrace International Company Limited (as supplemented by a supplemental purchase agreement dated July 27, 2009 and a letter agreement dated September 9, 2009, the “Purchase Agreement”) whereby Exceed Company Ltd. (“Exceed”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of 2020 formed under the laws of the British Virgin Islands (the “BVI”) with limited liability, will purchase 100% of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares of Windrace held by the shareholders of Windrace (the “Sellers”). The transactions contemplated under the Purchase Agreement are referred to as the Acquisition in this proxy statement/prospectus.

The transactions contemplated under the merger agreement are referred to as the Redomestication in this proxy statement/prospectus. In the Redomestication, Exceed will issue its securities in exchange for the issued and outstanding securities of 2020 on a one-to-one basis. This proxy statement/prospectus also constitutes a prospectus of Exceed for the securities of Exceed to be issued to the security holders of 2020 pursuant to terms of the Redomestication. Proposals to approve the Purchase Agreement (the “Acquisition Proposal”) and the Redomestication (the “Redomestication Proposal”) and the other matters discussed in this proxy statement/prospectus will be presented at the special meeting of the stockholders of 2020 scheduled to be held on October 19, 2009.

2020’s common stock, units and warrants are currently traded on the NYSE Amex under the symbols TTY, TTY.U and TTY.WS, respectively. 2020 will transfer the listing of its common stock, units and warrants to the NASDAQ Capital Market under the same symbols on October 12, 2009. After the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, the securities of Exceed are expected to be listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market under the symbols EDS, EDS.U and EDS.WS.

2020 is providing this proxy statement/prospectus and accompanying proxy card to its stockholders in connection with the solicitation of proxies to be voted at the special meeting of 2020’s stockholders and at any adjournments or postponements of the special meeting.

The Acquisition and the Redomestication will be completed upon approval of at least a majority of the shares of common stock outstanding present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the special meeting on October 19, 2009, provided that public stockholders owning less than 30% of the 8,625,000 outstanding shares sold in 2020’s initial public offering vote against the Acquisition Proposal and exercise their right to convert their shares into a pro rata portion of the trust account maintained by 2020 as described in this proxy statement/prospectus.

Your vote is very important. Whether or not you expect to attend the special meeting, the details of which are described on the following pages, please complete, date, sign and promptly return the accompanying proxy in the enclosed envelope.

SUMMARY

Material Terms of the Acquisition

This section summarizes information related to the proposals to be voted on at the special meeting. These items are described in greater detail elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus. You should carefully read this entire proxy statement/prospectus and the other documents to which you are referred.

Windrace is one of the leading PRC sports and leisurewear companies in China with a market share of 3.2% measured by revenue according to the China Sportswear Industry Research Report dated March 17, 2008 commissioned by Windrace from ZOU Marketing, an independent strategic sports branding organization in the PRC. Subsequent references to “according to ZOU Marketing” in this proxy statement/prospectus refer to facts drawn from the report. Windrace designs, develops and wholesales footwear, apparel and accessories under the “[GRAPHIC MISSING]” (Xidelong) brand name and the
[GRAPHIC MISSING]” logo. Windrace has three principal categories of products: (i) footwear, which mainly comprises running, leisure, basketball, skateboarding, canvas, tennis and outdoor footwear, (ii) apparel, which mainly comprises sports tops, pants, jackets, track suits and coats, and (iii) accessories, which mainly comprise bags, socks, hats and caps. Its products are sold entirely to customers within China. 2020 is a blank check company formed to effect a business combination with an unidentified operating business that either: (1) are located in the People’s Republic of China, (2) has their principal operations located in the People’s Republic of China, or, (3) in our view, would benefit from establishing operations in the People’s Republic of China. See “Information about Windrace” and Information about 2020.”
The parties to the Purchase Agreement are 2020, Exceed, Windrace, and the Sellers. See The Purchase Agreement.”
Pursuant to a merger agreement, 2020 will merge with and into Exceed with Exceed as the surviving entity after the merger thereby resulting in the change of 2020’s place of incorporation from the State of Delaware to the British Virgin Islands. See 2020 Redomestication.” While the Purchase Agreement permits the Redomestication to occur subsequent to the closing of the Acquisition, the parties anticipate that the Redomestication shall occur immediately preceding the Acquisition.
As a result of the completion of the Redomestication, holders of all of 2020’s issued and outstanding securities immediately prior to the Redomestication will become holders of an equal number of securities of Exceed on substantially the same terms. See The Redomestication Proposal.”
After completing the Acquisition, the Sellers will receive in the aggregate 17,008,633 ordinary shares of Exceed as consideration for the transfer of all of the outstanding ordinary shares of Windrace to Exceed. The aggregate value of these shares based on the closing price of 2020’s common stock on October 2, 2009 is $135.2 million. As described below, a portion of these shares will be issued at closing and a portion will be held in escrow (the “Escrowed Shares”). As described below, the Escrowed Shares are subject to forfeiture if Exceed does not achieve certain earning targets. Exceed will also effectively assume Windrace’s obligation to pay Elevatech Limited (“Elevatech”) approximately US$40.5 million to redeem preferred stock of Windrace owned by Elevatech as further described below.

In addition, Exceed has agreed to issue the Sellers an additional 2,212,789 Exceed ordinary shares (the “Earn-Out Shares”) pursuant to an earn-out provision in the Purchase Agreement based on the adjusted earnings of the combined company for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2011. The aggregate value of these shares based on the closing price of 2020’s common stock on October 2, 2009 is $17.6 million.

On the closing of the Acquisition, Windrace will be a wholly owned subsidiary of Exceed. See The Purchase Agreement.”

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The maximum number of shares issuable to the Sellers, including Escrowed Shares and Earn-Out Shares, is 19,221,422 shares of Exceed. The aggregate value of that maximum number of shares, based on the closing price of 2020's common stock on October 2, 2009, and the $40.5 million obligation to Elevatech being assumed by Exceed is $193.3 million.
In addition to the Exceed ordinary shares issued to the Sellers, the Purchase Agreement provides that any persons investing in Windrace between the time of the execution of the Purchase Agreement and the closing of the Acquisition, in compliance with certain conditions contained in the Purchase Agreement, may receive up to a maximum of 3,957,784 Exceed ordinary shares at a price of $7.58 per share upon the closing of the Acquisition in lieu of shares of Windrace.

In connection with this provision of the Purchase Agreement, Windrace has entered into an investment agreement (the “NH Investment Agreement”) dated July 27, 2009 with Wisetech Holdings Limited (“Wisetech”), Windtech Holdings Limited (“Windtech”) and Shuipan Lin.

Pursuant to the NH Investment Agreement, Wisetech and Windtech will invest an aggregate sum of $30,000,000 in Windrace in two instalments: (i) An initial investment of $2,500,000, paid into escrow; and (ii) a subsequent investment of $27,500,000 payable upon the closing of the NH Investment Agreement. On closing, Exceed shall issue to Wisetech and Windtech that aggregate number of Exceed ordinary shares equal to $27,500,000 divided by $7.58 per share. On the six month anniversary of the date of the closing of the NH Investment Agreement (“Post-Acquisition Closing”), Windrace shall sell to Wisetech and Windtech up to an aggregate of 2,500,000 warrants for the purchase of ordinary shares of Exceed, which Windrace has purchased in the open market (“Investor Warrants”). In the event that less than 2,500,000 warrants are sold to Wisetech and Windtech or there is a residual balance of the initial investment installment after the sale of the warrants to Wisetech and Windtech, Exceed shall issue to Wisetech and Windtech that aggregate number of Exceed ordinary shares equal to the balance of unused funds divided by $7.58 per share (the “Additional Investor Shares”).

Wisetech and Windtech could thus, pursuant to the NH Investment Agreement, acquire up to a maximum of 3,957,784 Exceed ordinary shares, including 3,627,968 shares which will be issued upon closing, and up to 329,816 Additional Investor Shares which will be issued at the Post-Acquisition Closing if the conditions set forth in the preceding paragraph are met.

The closing of the NH Investment Agreement is conditioned upon, among other conditions, the satisfaction of the conditions of the Purchase Agreement necessary to make the terms of the Purchase Agreement irrevocably binding on the parties thereto, including the obtaining of 2020 stockholder approval of the Acquisition. If the Acquisition is not closed on or before November 7, 2009, Wisetech and Windtech will be entitled to receive the amount they have invested in Windrace plus interest at a rate of 10% per annum payable by Mr. Lin. For more detailed terms of the NH Investment Agreement, please refer to “The Purchase Agreement — Principal Terms of the NH Investment Agreement”.

Dr. Jianming Yu, an indirect stockholder of 2020 through his interest in certain shareholders of 2020 and a director of 2020, holds shares representing 1.2% of Wisetech and 2% of Windtech through New Horizon Capital Partners, Ltd. (“NH Partners”) and New Horizon Capital Partners III, Ltd. (“NH Partners III”), respectively, on behalf of the senior management team of New Horizon Capital Advisors Ltd. (“New Horizon Capital”), excluding himself, and Dr. Yu does not receive any economic benefit from such arrangement. Dr. Yu is a managing partner of New Horizon Capital. For more detailed information regarding Dr. Yu’s affiliation with 2020 and with Windtech and Wisetech, please refer to “The Purchase Agreement — Principal Terms of the NH Investment Agreement — Affiliations of Wisetech and Windtech”.

A sufficient number of these Exceed ordinary shares issuable to the Sellers will be issued at closing so that the Sellers and Windtech and Wisetech own 51% of the outstanding ordinary shares of Exceed immediately following the Acquisition without taking into account Escrowed Shares remaining in escrow at closing, the Earn-Out Shares or the Investor Additional Shares. This amount will

range between 4,608,388 shares and 7,300,603 shares depending on the number of shares of 2020’s common stock that are converted to cash by their holders. The remaining balance from the 17,008,633 shares not issued to the Sellers at closing will be placed in escrow pursuant to an escrow agreement.
The Escrowed Shares will be released from escrow in the amounts of: (i) between 4,004,577 and 6,696,792 shares, depending on the number of shares issued to the Sellers at closing, (ii) 4,277,590 shares and (iii) 1,425,863 shares respectively for each of the years ending on December 31, 2009, 2010 and 2011 if Exceed achieves the earnings target specified for such year in the Purchase Agreement (approximately $38.1 million, $49.5 million and $64.3 million, respectively). The number of shares released from escrow in any given year will be increased by the number of shares eligible to be released in any prior year which were not released due to the target earnings not being achieved for that year.
In the event that the earnings target for 2011 is not met, a pro rated portion of the remaining Escrowed Shares determined by dividing the actual earnings for 2011 by the target earnings and multiplying the result by the number of remaining Escrowed Shares will be released to the Sellers and the balance of the Escrowed Shares shall be cancelled. See “The Purchase Agreement  — General Description of the Purchase Agreement — Escrow and Release Schedule for the Additional Shares.
As consideration for the redemption of all of the issued and outstanding preferred shares of Windrace, its sole preferred shareholder, Elevatech, will receive a promissory note from Windrace providing for the payment of HK$306.2 million (US$39.5 million and RMB272.5 million) on the earlier of the fifth business day following the date of issue of the promissory note and October 31, 2009 and an additional payment of US$1.0 million (RMB6.9 million) on June 30, 2010. Elevatech paid an aggregate amount of HK$306.2 million (US$39.5 million and RMB272.5 million) as consideration for the preferred shares at the time of subscription. Following the issuance of the promissory note, the original terms of the preferred shares will be superseded by the terms of this promissory note (including the accrued interest arising from the preferred shares carrying an internal rate of return of 12%), and Windrace’s full payment of the obligations under the promissory note will satisfy all of its obligations under the preferred shares. Hence, any provisions in the preferred shares, including those concerning the payment of accrued interest at an internal rate of return of 12%, will be of no further effect.

Windrace intends to repay the promissory note from the proceeds of the investment by the Windtech and Wisetech net of the portion of the proceeds used to purchase Investor Warrants and the cash released from 2020’s trust fund following the Acquisition. However, if Windrace defaults on its payment obligations under the promissory note, Elevatech will have the option to convert the overdue amount into preference shares with the same terms as the preferred shares of Windrace. Further, if the Acquisition is consummated on or prior to October 31, 2009, any preferred shares or preference shares issued and outstanding following the consummation of the Acquisition will be immediately redeemable under their original terms at the option of Elevatech. Finally, if the Acquisition is not consummated by October 31, 2009, the letter agreement will have no further effect, and the preferred shares will remain outstanding under their original terms.

The closing of the Acquisition is subject to the satisfaction by each party of various conditions prior to closing. See The Purchase Agreement — Conditions to Closing.”
The Acquisition will not be consummated unless the Redomestication Proposal is approved, and the Redomestication will not be consummated unless the Acquisition Proposal is approved. See 2020’s Special Meeting — Vote of 2020’s Stockholders Required.”
The Acquisition and the Redomestication will be accounted for as a reverse recapitalization, whereby Windrace will be the surviving and continuing entity for financial reporting purposes and will be deemed to be the acquirer of 2020. The Acquisition and the Redomestication are being accounted for as a reverse recapitalization because (i) after the Acquisition and the Redomestication the former shareholders of Windrace together with Windtech and Wisetech will hold approximately 51% of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares of Exceed (not taking the Escrowed Shares, the 2,212,789 Earn-Out Shares, and the Additional Investor Shares into account) and 2020’s directors

will resign and will be replaced by Lin Shuipan, the current CEO of Windrace and Jin Jichun, a designee of the Sellers who will be considered an independent director under applicable regulatory rules and thus independent of both 2020 and Windtech and Wisetech, and (ii) 2020 has no prior operations and was formed for the purpose of effecting a business combination such as the proposed Acquisition.

In accordance with the applicable accounting guidance for accounting for the Acquisition and the Redomestication as a reverse recapitalization, initially Windrace will be deemed to have undergone a recapitalization, whereby its issued and outstanding ordinary shares were converted into 17,008,633 ordinary shares of Exceed. Immediately thereafter, Exceed, as the parent company of Windrace, which is the continuing accounting entity, will be deemed to have acquired the assets and assumed the liabilities of 2020 in exchange for the issuance of the Exceed securities identical in number and terms to the outstanding securities of 2020. However, although Exceed, as the parent company of Windrace, will be deemed to have acquired 2020 in accordance with the applicable accounting guidance for accounting for the Acquisition and the Redomestication as a reverse recapitalization, 2020’s assets and liabilities will be recorded at their historical carrying amounts, which approximate their fair value, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded.

Enforceability of Civil Liabilities Against Foreign Persons

Exceed is a company incorporated under the laws of the BVI with limited liability and, upon completion of the Acquisition, its directly held subsidiary will be incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands, and its indirectly held subsidiaries will operate only in the PRC. Substantially all of the assets of Exceed and its subsidiaries, including Windrace, will be located in the PRC, and the majority of Exceeds officers and directors named in this proxy statement/prospectus reside outside the United States, and all or a substantial portion of the assets of these persons are or may be located outside the United States.

Although the PRC and the United States are signatories to the 1965 Hague Convention on the Service Abroad of Judicial and Extrajudicial Documents in Civil or Commercial Matters, service under this treaty is cumbersome and time consuming and may not result in adequate notice, such that any judgment based on service thereunder may be reopened, relitigated and overturned. Therefore, an investor should understand it is not likely that service of process upon Exceed or its subsidiaries, its officers and directors, or its assets will be obtainable within the United States or for actions originating in the United States.

It will be difficult for investors to enforce outside the United States a judgment against Exceed or its subsidiaries or its assets obtained in the United States in any actions, including actions predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the federal securities laws of the United States or of the securities laws of any state of the United States. In addition, it may not be possible for investors to effect service of process within the United States upon them, or to enforce against them any judgments obtained in United States courts, including judgments predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the federal securities laws of the United States or of the securities laws of any state of the United States.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE PROPOSALS

The following questions and answers briefly address some commonly asked questions about 2020’s special meeting and about the merger transaction. The following questions and answers may not include all the information that is important to stockholders of 2020 or the shareholders of Windrace. We urge stockholders to read carefully this entire Proxy Statement, including the annexes and the other documents referred to herein.

Q. Why is 2020 proposing the Acquisition?

A. 2020 was organized to effect a merger, capital stock exchange, equity acquisition or other similar business combination with one or more operating businesses that either: (1) are located in the People’s Republic of China, (2) has their principal operations located in the People’s Republic of China, or, (3) in our view, would benefit from establishing operations in the People’s Republic of China. Windrace is a leading Chinese sports and leisurewear company. Windrace has demonstrated significant growth since commencing operations in 2002 and 2020 believes that Windrace is in a position to increase its business through the development of additional products and the expansion of its distributor base, as well as licensing foreign brands to tap the high-end customer segment. As a result, 2020 believes that the Acquisition will provide 2020’s stockholders with an opportunity to participate in a combined company with significant growth potential.

Q. Why is 2020 proposing the Redomestication?

A. In order to facilitate the Acquisition, 2020 is proposing the merger of itself with and into Exceed, a company formed under the laws of the BVI. As all of the business operations of Exceed and its subsidiaries will be conducted outside the United States, this will minimize operating expenses including the tax burden of Exceed and its stockholders. The merger is intended to permit greater flexibility in structuring acquisitions or incorporating subsidiaries in China and other countries as the business of Exceed expands. This also will avoid double taxation of dividends declared at the Exceed level, should Exceed elect to do so. 2020 believes that Exceed will only be taxed on profits earned by its operations in the jurisdiction in which it is located and undertaken and will not be subject to additional income taxes merely by virtue of the location of its place of incorporation.

Q. What is being voted on?

A. There are three proposals that you are being asked to vote on. The first proposal is to adopt the Purchase Agreement that provides for the purchase by Exceed of all the issued and outstanding ordinary shares of Windrace from the Sellers. We refer to this proposal as the Acquisition Proposal.

The second proposal is to approve the merger of 2020 with and into Exceed for the purpose of Redomestication to the BVI. We refer to this proposal as the Redomestication Proposal.

The third proposal is 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, 2020 does not receive the requisite shareholder vote for approval of the Acquisition or Redomestication. We refer to this proposal in this Proxy Statement as the “Adjournment Proposal.”

Q. What vote is required in order to adopt the Acquisition, the Redomestication and the Adjournment Proposals?

A. Each proposal legally requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of 2020’s common stock issued in 2020’s initial public offering (“Public Shares”) present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the special meeting. However, the insiders who purchased their shares prior to the initial public offering (including the officers and directors of 2020) have agreed to vote the shares held by them on each proposal in accordance with the vote of the majority of the shares of common stock issued in 2020’s initial public offering. Therefore the required vote is a majority of those shares purchased in 2020’s initial public offering. However, we will not be able to complete the Acquisition and Redomestication if the holders of 30% or more of the outstanding Public Shares of 2020’s common stock elect to exercise their right to convert their shares into cash.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Q. What will I receive in the Redomestication?

A. 2020 security holders will receive an equal number of ordinary shares of Exceed in exchange for their 2020 common stock, and Exceed will assume the outstanding 2020 warrants, the terms and conditions of which will not change, except that upon exercise, the holders will receive Exceed ordinary shares.

Q. How will the Redomestication be accomplished?

A. 2020 will merge with and into Exceed, 2020’s wholly owned subsidiary incorporated as a BVI company with limited liability. As a result of the Redomestication, each currently issued outstanding share of common stock of 2020 will automatically convert into an ordinary share of Exceed. This procedure will result in you becoming a shareholder in Exceed instead of 2020.

Q. Will 2020’s stockholders be taxed as a result of the Redomestication?

A. Generally for United States federal income tax purposes, stockholders who are United States holders should not recognize any gain or loss as a result of the Redomestication. We urge you to consult your own tax advisors with regard to your particular tax consequences of the Redomestication. The discussion of United States Federal Tax Law and Regulations is the opinion of Seyfarth Shaw LLP, whose opinion is included as Annex D to this proxy statement/prospectus. Please see the information set forth in “2020 Redomestication — Material United States Federal Income Tax Considerations.

Q. Will 2020 be taxed on the Redomestication?

A. 2020 may recognize gain (but not loss) for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of the Redomestication in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the fair market value of each of its assets over such asset’s adjusted tax basis at the effective time of the Redomestication. The discussion of United States Federal Tax Law and Regulations is the opinion of Seyfarth Shaw LLP, whose opinion is included as Annex D to this proxy statement/prospectus. Please see the information set forth in “2020 Redomestication — Material United States Federal Income Tax Considerations.

Q. What will the name of the surviving company be after the Acquisition?

A. The name of the surviving company following completion of the Acquisition and the Redomestication will be “Exceed Company Ltd.”

Q. Do I have dissenter or appraisal rights?

A. In connection with the Redomestication, 2020’s stockholders have appraisal rights under Delaware corporate law. The text of Section 262 of the Delaware General Corporation Law setting forth such appraisal rights is attached as Annex G to this Proxy Statement/Prospectus.

Q. Do I have conversion rights?

A. If you hold shares of common stock issued in 2020’s initial public offering, then you have the right to vote against the Acquisition Proposal and demand that 2020 convert these shares into a pro rata portion of the trust account in which a substantial portion of the net proceeds of 2020’s initial public offering are held. We refer to these rights to vote against the Acquisition and demand conversion of the shares into a pro rata portion of the trust account as conversion rights.

Q. If I have conversion rights, how do I exercise them?

A. If you wish to exercise your conversion rights, you must vote against the Acquisition Proposal and at the same time demand that 2020 convert your shares into cash. If, notwithstanding your vote, the Acquisition is completed, then you will be entitled to receive a pro rata portion of the trust account, together with interest earned through two days prior to the consummation of the Acquisition. As of June 30, 2009, this amounted to approximately $7.90 per share. The market price for a share of common stock as of October 2, 2009, the last day on which the stock was sold, was $7.95 which is greater than amounts stockholders exercising their conversion rights will receive. See “2020’s Special Meeting — Repurchase of Shares.” In addition, the market price of our common stock may continue to fluctuate. If you exercise your conversion rights, then you will be exchanging your shares of 2020 common stock for cash and will no longer own these shares. You will be entitled to receive cash for these shares only if you continue to hold these shares through the closing of the

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Acquisition and then tender your stock certificate. If the Acquisition is not completed, then your shares cannot be converted to cash until either you vote against a subsequently proposed combination and exercise your conversion rights or unless 2020 fails to achieve a business combination in a timely manner, at which time your shares will be automatically converted to cash.

Q. What happens to the funds deposited in the trust account after consummation of the Acquisition?

A. Upon consummation of the Acquisition Proposal:

the stockholders electing to exercise their conversion rights will receive their pro rata portion of the funds in the trust account; and
the remainder of the funds in the trust account will be retained by Exceed for use as operating capital subsequent to the closing of the Acquisition.

Q. What happens if the Acquisition is not consummated?

A. 2020 will be liquidated if it does not consummate a business combination by November 8, 2009. In any liquidation, the funds held in the trust account, plus any interest earned thereon and not previously released to 2020 as working capital, together with any remaining net equity outside of the trust, will be distributed pro rata to 2020’s common stockholders, excluding the 2020 initial stockholders, each of whom has waived any right to any liquidation distribution.

Q. When do you expect the Acquisition to be completed?

A. Pending receipt of the required stockholder vote it is currently anticipated that the Acquisition will be completed promptly following 2020’s special meeting on or about October 19, 2009.

Q. If I am not going to attend 2020’s special meeting in person, should I return my proxy card instead?

A. Yes. After carefully reading and considering the information contained in this proxy statement/prospectus, please fill out and sign your proxy card. Then return the enclosed proxy card in the return envelope as soon as possible, so that your shares may be represented at 2020’s special meeting.

Q. What will happen if I abstain from voting or fail to vote?

A. An abstention or failure to vote will have the same effect as a vote against the Acquisition Proposal, but will not have the effect of converting your shares into a pro rata portion of the trust account. An abstention or failure to vote will also have the effect of voting against the Redomestication Proposal.

Q. What do I do if I want to change my vote?

A. Send a later-dated, signed proxy card to 2020’s secretary prior to the date of the special meeting or attend the special meeting in person and vote. You also may revoke your proxy by sending a notice of revocation to 2020’s secretary at the address of 2020’s corporate headquarters.

Q. If my shares are held in “street name” by my broker, will my broker vote my shares for me?

A. No. Your broker can vote your shares only if you provide instructions on how to vote. You should instruct your broker to vote your shares, following the directions provided by your broker.

Q. Do I need to turn in my old certificates?

A. No. If you hold your securities in 2020 in certificate form, as opposed to holding them through your broker, you do not need to exchange them for certificates issued by Exceed. Your current certificates will represent your rights in Exceed. You may exchange them by contacting the transfer agent, Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, Reorganization Department, and following their requirements for reissuance. If you elect conversion or appraisal, you will need to deliver your old certificates to 2020.

Q. Who can answer my questions?

A. If you have questions about the Acquisition and/or the Redomestication Proposals, you may write or call George Lu, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President, 2020 ChinaCap Acquirco, Inc., c/o Surfmax Corporation, 221 Boston Post Road East, Suite 410, Marlborough, Massachusetts 01753, (508) 624-4948.

The Purchase Agreement is the legal document that governs the Acquisition, and the merger agreement governs the Redomestication. They are also described in detail elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.

The Parties

2020

2020 ChinaCap Acquirco, Inc. is a blank check company formed on August 21, 2006 as a vehicle to effect a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition or other similar business combination with an operating business that either: (1) is located in China, (2) has its principal operations located in China, or, (3) in the view of the Board of Directors of 2020, would benefit from establishing operations in China.

On November 15, 2007, 2020 completed its initial public offering (“IPO”) of 8,625,000 Units (including 1,125,000 Units pursuant to the underwriters’ over-allotment option sold on November 26, 2007), consisting of one share of 2020 common stock and a warrant to purchase one share of 2020 common stock, at a price of $8 per unit. 2020 received net proceeds of approximately $68.2 million from the offering. Simultaneously with the consummation of the IPO, 2020 consummated the private sale of 2,265,000 warrants to purchase one share of 2020 common stock (“Insider Warrants”) at $1.00 per warrant to certain of its initial stockholders and affiliates for an aggregate purchase price of $2,265,000. Of the net proceeds of the public offering, $65,825,685 (including $2,415,000 of deferred underwriters compensation), together with the entire $2,265,000 raised from the private sale of warrants, for a total of $68,090,685, were deposited into the trust account and the remaining proceeds of approximately $150,000 became available to be used to provide for business, legal and accounting due diligence on prospective business combinations and continuing general and administrative expenses. Notwithstanding the foregoing, 2020 was entitled to have an aggregate of $1,350,000 of the interest earned on the funds in the trust account released to fund expense relating to investigating and selecting a target business and other working capital requirements, as well as any amounts needed to pay income or other tax obligations. 2020 has used all of such available interest earned on the funds in the trust account. As of June 30, 2009, there was approximately $68,095,245 held in the trust account.

The funds deposited in the trust account, with the interest earned thereon and not previously released to 2020 as working capital, will be released to pay (i) transaction expenses, (ii) deferred underwriter’s compensation of $2,415,000, (iii) loans and reimbursement of expenses to directors, officers and founding stockholders of 2020, (iv) the portion of the first installment of the redemption price of Windrace’s preferred shares in the amount of HK$306.2 million (US$39.5 million and RMB272.5 million) which are not paid from the proceeds of the Investment by Windtech and Wisetech and (v) amounts, if any, in connection with any arrrangements to provide for the purchase of the Public Shares from holders thereof who indicate their intention to vote against the Acquisition and seek conversion or otherwise wish to sell their Public Shares or into other arrangements that would induce holders of Public Shares not to vote against the Acquisition proposal, or into similar arrangements for warrants or other securities of 2020 (“Outstanding Stock Arrangements”), including but not limited to any redemption, tender, purchase or similar transaction involving the Public Shares or warrants or other securities of 2020, as described in the section entitled 2020’s Special Meeting — Actions That May Be Taken to Secure Approval of 2020’s Stockholders.”

If the conditions to closing the Acquisition are not fulfilled or waived by Exceed by November 7, 2009, or such later date as the parties may from time to time agree in writing, or the Acquisition is not consummated by November 7, 2009 as a result of either party failing to comply with any of its closing obligations, either party may terminate the Purchase Agreement. If the Acquisition is not consummated by October 31, 2009, the sole preferred shareholder of Windrace will have the right not to tender the preferred shares for redemption at the agreed price. If 2020 is unable to complete the Acquisition or another business combination

by November 8, 2009, its corporate existence will automatically terminate and it will liquidate and promptly distribute to its public stockholders the amount in its trust account plus any remaining non-trust account funds after payment of its liabilities.

In connection with the Acquisition and pursuant to a letter agreement dated May 8, 2009 among Windrace, Elevatech, Mr. Lin Shuipan and RichWise International Investment Group Limited, or “RichWise”, all of the issued and outstanding preferred shares of Windrace owned by Elevatech, the sole preferred shareholder of Windrace, will be redeemed by Windrace upon the consummation of the Acquisition in exchange for the issue of a promissory note by Windrace to Elevatech, providing for the payment by Windrace of (i) HK$306.2 million (US$39.5 million and RMB272.5 million) as redemption price on the earlier of the fifth business day following the date of issue of the promissory note and October 31, 2009 and (ii) US$1.0 million (RMB6.9 million) as additional premium on June 30, 2010. The promissory note will constitute Windrace's payment of the full consideration for the redemption of the preferred shares. Following the issuance of the promissory note, the original terms of the preferred shares will be superseded by the terms of this promissory note. Hence, any provisions in the preferred shares, including those concerning the payment of accrued interest at an internal rate of return of 12%, will be of no further effect. See Certain Relationships and Related Transactions — Investment by Elevatech.” RichWise has been a financial investor and shareholder of Windrace through its investment in a subsidiary of Windrace since April 18, 2007 and is the transferor of 3,500 preferred shares to Elevatech on April 30, 2008. See “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions — Investment by RichWise.” Since its investment in Windrace, RichWise has been assisting Windrace with financial matters, including the offering and redemption of the preferred shares. RichWise does not expect to receive any compensation for the foregoing assistance.

RichWise is an investment firm and has invested in companies operating in the textile, communication, information technology, chain hotel and apartment and mining industries.

2020’s common stock, units and warrants are currently quoted on the NYSE Amex under the symbols TTY, TTY.U and TTY.WS, respectively. 2020 will transfer the lsiting of its common stock, units and warrants to the NASDAQ Capital Market under the same symbols on October 12, 2009. We have applied to list the securities of Exceed on the NASDAQ Capital Market under the symbols EDS, EDS.U and EDU.WS respectively effective after the closing of the Acquisition and Redomestication. If Exceed’s securities are not accepted for listing on NASDAQ upon the consummation of the Acquisition, Exceed’s securities will be quoted on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board (“OTCBB”) until such time as such securities become eligible for listing on a national exchange.

The mailing address of 2020’s principal executive office is 221 Boston Post Road East, Suite 410, Marlborough, MA 01753. Its telephone number is (508) 624-4948. 2020’s corporate existence will cease to exist upon consummation of the Redomestication.

Exceed

Exceed Company Ltd. is a BVI company limited by shares that was incorporated on April 21, 2009 solely for the purposes of effecting the Redomestication of 2020 to the BVI and acquiring all the issued and outstanding ordinary shares of Windrace. Currently all of its issued and outstanding shares are owned by 2020. Immediately upon completion of the Acquisition and the Redomestication, the Sellers, Windtech and Wisetech will hold approximately 51% of the issued and outstanding Exceed ordinary shares and the former stockholders of 2020 will own approximately 49% of the issued and outstanding Exceed ordinary shares without taking the Escrowed Shares, the Earn-Out Shares or the Additonal Investor Shares as described below into account. A portion of the shares issued to the Sellers will be held in escrow and will be subject to release in installments in the event that Exceed meets certain earnings targets in 2009, 2010 and 2011. The portion of the shares to be held in escrow is subject to adjustment to ensure that the shares held by the Sellers Windtech and Wisetech will give them ownership of 51% of the outstanding ordinary shares of Exceed immediately following the Acquisition. Following the Acquisition, Exceed expects to conduct its business substantially as it is currently conducted by 2020, as a holding company.

Windrace’s registered offices are located at No. Cricket Square, Hutchins Drive, PO Box 2681, Grand Cayman, KY1-1111, Cayman Islands.

The Redomestication

If the Acquisition and the Redomestication are approved by 2020’s shareholders, 2020 will merge with and into Exceed with Exceed as the surviving entity. As a result of the Redomestication, the corporate existence of 2020 will cease. Each shareholder of 2020 will receive one ordinary share of Exceed for each share of 2020 common stock they own, each outstanding warrant to purchase common stock of 2020 will be exchanged for a warrant to purchase an equal number of ordinary shares of Exceed on the same terms, and each outstanding unit will be converted to a like unit exchangeable for Exceed securities.

The Acquisition

The Purchase Agreement provides for a business combination transaction by means of the acquisition of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares of Windrace by Exceed in exchange for ordinary shares of Exceed.

Upon consummation of the Acquisition, the Sellers will be issued 17,008,633 Exceed ordinary shares, Windtech and Wisetech will collectively be issued 3,627,968 Exceed ordinary shares, and the former holders of common stock of 2020 will own 7,913,362 Exceed ordinary shares (including shares that are part of units and assuming that the 2020 shareholders elect to convert the maximum number of their shares into cash). A portion of the shares issued to the Sellers will be held in escrow and will be subject to release in installments in the event that Exceed meets certain earnings targets in 2009, 2010 and 2011. The portion of shares to be held in escrow is subject to adjustment to ensure that shares held by the Sellers and Windtech and Wisetech will give them ownership of 51% of the outstanding ordinary shares of Exceed immediately following the Acquisition and will range between 4,606,388 shares and 7,300,603 shares depending on the number of Public Shares converted into cash by their holders. In addition, the Sellers will be entitled to receive an additional 2,212,789 Earn-Out Shares if certain earnings targets in 2011 are met, and Windtech and Wisetech will be issued up to an additional 329,816 ordinary shares of Exceed (the “Additional New Investor Shares”) within six months following the closing of the Acquisition if certain criteria are met.

2020 and Exceed plan to complete the Redomestication, and Exceed and Windrace plan to complete the Acquisition, promptly after 2020’s special meeting, provided that:

2020’s stockholders have approved the Acquisition Proposal and the Redomestication Proposal;
holders of fewer than 30% of the Public Shares have voted against the Acquisition Proposal and demanded conversion of their shares into cash; and
the other conditions specified in the Purchase Agreement have been satisfied or waived.

After consideration of the factors identified and discussed in the section entitled “Consideration of the Acquisition — The Current Target — The Board Meeting,” 2020’s board of directors concluded that the Acquisition met all of the requirements disclosed in 2020’s Registration Statement on Form S-1 (Reg. No. 333-142255), which became effective on November 8, 2007, including that Windrace has a fair market value of at least 80% of 2020’s net assets at the time of the Acquisition.

Upon completion of the Acquisition and the Redomestication, the Sellers and Windtech and Wisetech will collectively own approximately 51% of the Exceed ordinary shares issued and outstanding immediately after the closing of the Acquisition and the former 2020 stockholders will own approximately 49% of Exceed’s outstanding ordinary shares, excluding the Escrowed Shares the Earn-Out Shares and the Additional New Investor Shares. For the purposes of calculating these percentages, Exceed ordinary shares issued to the Sellers and held in escrow are deemed to be issued but not outstanding and thus are excluded from the calculations. The number of Public Shares converted into cash does not affect these percentages as the number of shares released from escrow would decrease proportionately as the number of Public Shares converted into cash increased. By way of example, if the maximum number of Public Shares (29.99% of the total) are converted to cash, an aggregate of 4,608,388 Exceed ordinary shares would be released to the Sellers at closing. If no Public Shares were converted into cash, an aggregate of 7,300,603 Exceed ordinary shares would be released to the Sellers at closing. If the Escrowed Shares are released in full, the Sellers and Windtech and Wisetech would own 66% of the outstanding ordinary shares of Exceed assuming none of the holders of the Public Shares elected to convert their shares into cash and 72% of the outstanding ordinary shares of Exceed assuming the holders of 29.99% of the Public Shares elected to convert their shares into cash. If the Earn-Out Shares are issued, and assuming no further issuances of Exceed ordinary shares in the interim, the percentages collectively owned by the Sellers, Windtech and Wisetech will increase to approximately 69% if none of the holders of Public Shares elected to convert their shares to cash, and 74%, if the holders of 29.99% of the Public Shares elected to convert their shares into cash, of the Exceed outstanding ordinary shares immediately after the issuance of the Earn-Out Shares. If the Additional New Investor Shares were issued to Windtech and Wisetech in full in any of the preceding scenarios, the percentage of the outstanding Exceed ordinary shares collectively owned by the Sellers and Windtech and Wisetech would increase by approximately one additional percentage point.

Fairness Opinion

2020 elected not to obtain a fairness opinion with respect to the Acquisition.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Management of Exceed

Upon consummation of the Acquisition, the directors of Exceed will be Lin Shuipan and Jin Jichun, who are designees of the Sellers. Jin Jichun will be considered an independent director under applicable regulatory rules.

The board of directors of Exceed will not be classified.

Upon the consummation of the Acquisition, the executive officers of Exceed will be Lin Shuipan, chairman of the board and chief executive officer, Qian Zhen Li, deputy general manager, Fan Qi, financial controller, Ding Dongdong, vice president, Liu Ming, vice president, and Tai Yau Ting, chief financial officer. Each of such persons is currently an executive officer of Windrace.

If the Acquisition and the Redomestication Proposals are not approved by 2020 stockholders at the special meeting or an adjournment thereof, 2020’s current directors and executive officers will continue in office until 2020 is liquidated.

The Adjournment Proposal

If, based on the tabulated vote, there are not sufficient votes at the time of the special meeting to authorize 2020 to consummate the Acquisition and the Redomestication (because either the Acquisition Proposal and/or the Redomestication Proposal is not approved or 30% or more of the holders of the Public Shares vote against the Acquisition Proposal and elect to convert their Public Shares into cash), the Adjournment Proposal allows 2020’s board of directors to adjourn the special meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary, to permit further solicitation of proxies.

Vote of 2020 Inside Stockholders

As of October 2, 2009, the record date for 2020’s special meeting, our directors and officers, who, together with certain entities controlled by them that own 2020 common stock are collectively referred to as the 2020 Inside Stockholders, beneficially owned and were entitled to vote 1,875,000 shares (“Original Shares”) which were acquired by them prior to 2020’s IPO. The Original Shares constituted 17.9% of the outstanding shares of 2020’s common stock immediately after 2020’s IPO.

In connection with the IPO, 2020 and Morgan Joseph & Co. Inc. (“Morgan Joseph”), the representative of the underwriters of the IPO, entered into agreements with each of the 2020 Inside Stockholders pursuant to which each 2020 Inside Stockholder agreed to vote his, her or its Original Shares on the Acquisition Proposal in accordance with the majority of the votes cast by the holders of Public Shares. The 2020 Inside Stockholders have also indicated that they intend to vote their Original Shares in favor of all other proposals being presented at the meeting. The Original Shares have no liquidation rights and will be worthless if we do not effect a business combination. In connection with the IPO, the 2020 Inside Stockholders have placed their Original Shares in escrow with LaSalle Bank National Association pursuant to agreements restricting the sale of their Original Shares until the earlier of six months after a business combination or 2020’s liquidation, subject to earlier release within such six month period if 2020 consummates a subsequent liquidation, merger, stock exchange or other similar transaction that results in all of 2020’s stockholders having the right to exchange their shares for cash, securities or other property.

As of October 2, 2009, no 2020 Inside Stockholder has purchased any shares of 2020 common stock in the open market.

Actions That May Be Taken to Secure Approval of 2020’s Stockholders

If 2020, Windrace, Exceed or the 2020 Inside Stockholders believe it would be desirable for them or their affiliates to purchase shares in advance of the special meeting, such determination would be based on factors such as the likelihood of approval or disapproval of the Acquisition Proposal, the Redomestication Proposal, the number of shares for which conversion may be requested and the financial resources available to such prospective purchasers. Any additional shares purchased by any of the aforementioned persons may be voted by them in any way they choose.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Arrangements of such nature would only be entered into and effected at a time when 2020, Windrace, Exceed or the 2020 Inside Stockholders and/or their respective affiliates are not aware of any material nonpublic information regarding 2020, its securities or Windrace. While 2020 and Windrace have had discussions with certain existing shareholders and potential new shareholders, no definitive arrangements have been entered into or agreed upon. Potential transactions might include:

Agreements with the holders of Public Shares or other securities of 2020 pursuant to which Exceed would agree to purchase Public Shares or other securities of 2020 from such holders immediately after the closing of the merger for the price and fees specified in the arrangements. The Purchase Agreement contemplates that Windrace will purchase outstanding warrants to purchase common stock of 2020 or enter into such other transactions which shall have the effect of reducing the dilutive effect of the warrants at such time and consideration as the board of Windrace deems beneficial to the interests of its shareholders and that any 2020 warrants so repurchased shall be cancelled.
Agreements with third parties to be identified pursuant to which the third parties would purchase Public Shares or other securities of 2020 during the period beginning on the date that the registration statement of which this proxy statement/prospectus is a part is declared effective. Such arrangements would also provide for Exceed, immediately after the closing of the Acquisition and the Redomestication, to purchase from the third parties all of the Public Shares or other securities of 2020 purchased by them for the price and fees specified in the arrangements.
Loan arrangements, the granting of put options, the transfer to holders of Public Shares of shares or warrants owned by the 2020 Inside Stockholders for nominal value.

Any arrangements that are entered into may involve any or all of payment of significant fees, interest payments and issuance of additional Exceed shares to the persons providing the financing or other assistance in the transactions. As there have been no discussions with potential sellers, it is difficult to quantify what such fees or expenses might entail. We do not anticipate that such arrangements will be made in accordance with Rule 10b-18 under the Exchange Act.

We have, as a courtesy, provided assistance to an investor who identified itself to us as having obtained more than 5% of 2020’s outstanding common stock in making apprpropriate filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission with respect to such acquisition. No person affiliated with 2020, Exceed, Windrace or Windtech or Wisetech offered such investor any inducement to purchase such shares or to vote such shares in any manner with respect to the Acquisition. We may provide similar assistance to stockholders that request it.

Purchases pursuant to such arrangements ultimately paid for with funds in 2020’s trust account would diminish the funds available to Exceed after the Acquisition and the Redomestication for working capital and general corporate purposes. This may limit Exceed’s ability to internally finance its growth without raising additional capital from outside sources. In addition, such purchases could reduce the funds available to repay the portion of US$39.5 million owed by Windrace to Elevatech that is not repaid from the proceeds of the investment by Windtech and Wisetech. Nevertheless, in all events, Exceed will pay the holders of all Public Shares that are properly converted and condition any payments for purchases under such arrangements on Exceed first satisfying its obligations to the holders of Public Shares that are properly converted. As a result of the purchases that may be effected through such arrangements, it is likely that the number of shares of common stock of Exceed in its public float will be significantly reduced and that the number of beneficial holders of Exceed securities will also be significantly reduced. This may make it difficult to obtain the quotation, listing or trading of Exceed securities on the NASDAQ Capital Market or another national securities exchange.

The impact of any such arrangements on the financial statements of the combined companies will depend on the ultimate structure of the arrangements. To the extent that the arrangements result in the redemption of shares and, accordingly, a decrease in the number of outstanding shares, the arrangments could result in an increase in earnings per share. To the extent that the repurchases require payments by Windrace or by Exceed post-closing, they would have the effect of decreasing net assets by reducing the available cash of Exceed.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

2020 will mail a supplement to this proxy statement/prospectus to its stockholders and 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 Acquisition Proposal, the Redomestication Proposal or the conversion threshold. Any such supplement or report will include descriptions of any arrangements entered into or significant purchases by any of the aforementioned persons. If members of 2020’s board of directors or officers make purchases pursuant to such arrangements, they will also be required to make beneficial ownership filings with the SEC.

The purpose of such arrangements would be to increase the likelihood of satisfaction of the requirements that the holders of a majority of the Public Shares present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote on the Acquisition Proposal and the Redomestication Proposal vote in favor of the proposals and that holders of fewer than 30% of the Public Shares vote against the Acquisition Proposal and the Redomestication Proposal and demand conversion of their Public Shares into cash where it appears that such requirements would otherwise not be met. Accordingly, such arrangements may permit 2020 to secure approval of the Acquisition Proposal and Redomestication Proposal when such proposals may not be approved in the absence of such arrangements under the requirements set forth in its S-1. To secure approval of the Acquisition Proposal and the Redomestication Proposal, it may be necessary to repurchase as much as 70% of the Public Shares, but there is currently no binding arrangement or agreement regarding such repurchase. All shares purchased pursuant to such arrangements would be voted in favor of the Acquisition Proposal and the Redomestication Proposal. If, for some reason, the Acquisition and the Redomestication are not closed despite such purchases, the purchasers would be entitled to participate in liquidation distributions from 2020’s trust fund with respect to such shares.

It is possible that the special meeting could be adjourned to provide time to seek out and negotiate such transactions if, at the time of the meeting, it appears that the requisite vote will not be obtained or that the limitation on conversion will be exceeded, assuming that an adjournment proposal is approved. Also, under Delaware law, the board of directors may postpone the meeting at any time prior to it being called to order, in order to provide time to seek out and negotiate such transactions.

Date, Time and Place of Special Meeting of 2020’s Stockholders

The special meeting of the stockholders of 2020 will be held at 9:00 a.m., local time, on October 19, 2009, at the offices of Seyfarth Shaw LLP, 2020’s counsel, at 131 S. Dearborn St., Chicago, Illinois 60603 to consider and vote upon the Acquisition Proposal, the Redomestication Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal.

Voting Power; Record Date

You will be entitled to vote or direct votes to be cast at the special meeting if you owned shares of 2020 common stock at the close of business on October 2, 2009, which is the record date for the special meeting. You will have one vote for each share of 2020 common stock you 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. 2020 warrants do not have voting rights. On the record date, there were 10,500,000 shares of 2020 common stock outstanding, of which 8,625,000 were Public Shares and 1,875,000 were Original Shares held by the 2020 Inside Stockholders.

Quorum and Vote of 2020’s Stockholders

A quorum of 2020’s stockholders is necessary to hold a valid meeting. A quorum will be present at 2020’s 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 2020 Inside Stockholders hold approximately 18% of the outstanding shares of 2020 common stock, none of which are Public Shares. The non-Public Shares held by the 2020 Inside Stockholders will be voted on the Acquisition Proposal and the Redomestication Proposal in accordance with the majority of the votes cast by the holders of Public Shares and in favor of the Adjournment Proposal. Any Public Shares held by the 2020 Inside Stockholders will be voted in favor of the Acquisition Proposal. As of October 2, 2009, the record date for voting at the special meeting of stockholders, the 2020 Inside Stockholders did not own any Public Shares.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Pursuant to 2020’s charter, the approval of the Acquisition Proposal will require the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the Public Shares present (in person or represented by proxy) and entitled to vote on the proposal at the meeting. There are currently 10,500,000 shares of 2020 common stock outstanding, of which 8,625,000 are Public Shares. The Acquisition will not be consummated if the holders of 30% or more of the Public Shares (2,587,500 shares or more) properly demand conversion of their Public Shares into cash.
The approval of the Adjournment Proposal will require the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of 2020 common stock represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon at the meeting.

Abstentions will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” the Acquisition Proposal, the Redomestication Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal, if the latter is presented. Broker non-votes, while considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum, will have no effect on the Acquisition Proposal, the Redomestication Proposal or the Adjournment Proposal. Please note that you cannot seek conversion of your shares unless you affirmatively vote against the Acquisition Proposal.

Conversion Rights

A holder of Public Shares that affirmatively votes against the Acquisition may demand that 2020 convert his or her shares into cash if the Acquisition is consummated. See “2020’s Special Meeting — Conversion Rights” for the procedures to be followed if you wish to convert your shares into cash. If properly demanded, 2020 will convert each Public Share into a pro rata portion of the trust account, calculated as of two business days prior to the anticipated consummation of the Acquisition. As of October 2, 2009, this would amount to approximately $7.90 per share. If you exercise your conversion rights, then you will be exchanging your shares of 2020 common stock for cash and will no longer own the shares. You will be entitled to receive cash for these shares only if you vote against the Acquisition, properly demand conversion and, after the meeting, tender your stock (either physically or electronically) to 2020’s transfer agent within a period of at least 20 days that will be specified in a notice you will receive from or on behalf of Exceed. If we do not complete the Acquisition, these shares will not be converted into cash.

If the conditions to close the Acquisition are not met, fulfilled or waived by Exceed by November 7, 2009, or such later date as the parties may from time to time agree in writing, or the Acquisition is not consummated by November 7, 2009 as a result of either party failing to comply with any of its closing obligations, either party may terminate the Purchase Agreement. If 2020 is unable to complete the Acquisition or another business combination by November 8, 2009, its corporate existence will automatically terminate on that date and, upon its resulting liquidation, the holders of Public Shares will receive an amount equal to the amount of funds in the trust account at the time of the liquidation distribution divided by the number of Public Shares. Although both the per share liquidation price and the per share conversion price are equal to the amount of trust accounts in the trust account divided by the number of Public Shares, the amount a holder of Public Shares would receive at liquidation may be more or less than the amount such a holder would have received had it sought conversion of its shares in connection with the Acquisition because (i) there will be greater earned interest in the trust account at the time of a liquidation distribution since it would occur at a later date than a conversion and (ii) 2020 may incur expenses it otherwise would not incur if 2020 consummates the Acquisition, including, potentially, claims requiring payment from the trust account by creditors who have not waived their rights against the trust account. 2020’s executive officers, one of its directors, Dr. Jianming Yu and certain entities controlled by our executive officers and Dr. Yu will be personally liable under certain circumstances (for example, if a vendor successfully makes a claim against funds in the trust account) to ensure that the proceeds in the trust account are not reduced by the claims of prospective target businesses and vendors or other entities that are owed money by 2020 for services rendered or products sold to it. While 2020 has no reason to believe that these persons will not be able to satisfy those obligations, there cannot be any assurance to that effect. See “Information About 2020 — Liquidation If No Business Combination” for additional information.

We will not consummate the Acquisition if the holders of 30% or more of the Public Shares (2,587,500 shares or more) properly demand conversion of their shares into cash.

Appraisal Rights

2020’s stockholders have appraisal rights in connection with the merger under the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”), as described in the section entitled “2020’s Special Meeting — Appraisal Rights.

Proxies

Proxies may be solicited by mail, telephone or in person. 2020 has engaged Innisfree M&A Incorporated to assist in the solicitation of proxies.

If you grant a proxy, you may still vote your shares in person if you revoke your proxy before the special meeting. You may also change your vote by submitting a later-dated proxy as described in the section entitled “2020’s Special Meeting — Revoking Your Proxy.

Interests of 2020’s Directors and Officers and Others in the Acquisition and the Redomestication

When you consider the recommendation of 2020’s board of directors in favor of approval of the Acquisition Proposal and the Redomestication Proposal, you should keep in mind that 2020’s directors and officers have interests in the Acquisition and the Redomestication (to the extent that the Redomestication is a condition to the Acquisition) that are different from, or in addition to, your interests as a stockholder. These interests include, among other things:

If we do not consummate the Acquisition by November 8, 2009, 2020 will automatically be liquidated. In such event, the 1,875,000 Original Shares held by 2020’s directors and officers that were acquired before the IPO for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000 would be worthless because 2020’s directors and officers are not entitled to receive any of the liquidation proceeds with respect to such shares. Such shares had an aggregate market value of $14.9 million based upon the closing price of $7.95 on the NYSE Amex on October 2, 2009, the record date for 2020’s special meeting.
Entities affiliated with 2020’s officers, directors and special advisors have also purchased 2,265,000 warrants (“Insider Warrants”), for an aggregate purchase price of $2,265,000 (or $1.00 per warrant) pursuant to agreements with 2020 and Morgan Joseph and entered into in connection with 2020’s IPO. These purchases took place on a private placement basis simultaneously with the consummation of 2020’s IPO. All of the proceeds 2020 received from these purchases were placed in 2020’s trust fund. These Insider Warrants are identical to the warrants underlying 2020’s units, except that if 2020 calls the warrants for redemption, the Insider Warrants will not be redeemable by 2020 so long as they are held by these purchasers or their affiliates. Such warrants had an aggregate market value of $2.9 million, based on the closing price of $1.29 on the NYSE Amex on October 2, 2009, the record date for 2020’s special meeting. All of the warrants will become worthless if the Acquisition is not consummated (as will the remainder of the public warrants).
If 2020 liquidates prior to the consummation of a business combination, 2020’s executive officers, one of its directors, Dr. Jianming Yu and certain entities controlled by our executive officers and Dr. Yu will be personally liable to pay debts and obligations to vendors and other entities that are owed money by 2020 for services rendered or products sold to 2020, or to any target business, to the extent such creditors bring claims that would otherwise require payment from monies in the trust account. Based on 2020’s estimated debts and obligations, it is not currently expected that such persons will have any exposure under this arrangement in the event of a liquidation.
2020 International Capital Group Limited, a company controlled by the directors and executive officers of 2020, has loaned 2020 $700,000 to cover its expenses in connection with the Acquisition and may make further loans for this purpose in the future. Such loans are and will be unsecured, non-interest bearing and will be repaid at the closing of the Acquisition. If the Acquisition is not consummated and 2020 is required to liquidate, such loans will not be repaid to 2020 International Capital Group Limited.
The underwriters in 2020’s IPO, including Morgan Joseph, will also be entitled to receive $2,415,000 of deferred underwriting commissions upon consummation of the Acquisition.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Recommendation to Stockholders

2020’s board of directors believes that the Acquisition and the Redomestication Proposals are fair to and in the best interest of 2020’s stockholders and unanimously recommend that its stockholders vote “FOR” the Acquisition and the Redomestication Proposals and the Adjournment Proposal, if presented.

Conditions to the Closing of the Acquisition

Conditions

Consummation of the Acquisition is conditioned on (i) the holders of a majority of the Public Shares, at a meeting called for this and other related purposes, approving the Purchase Agreement and the Redomestication and (ii) the holders of fewer than 30% of the Public Shares voting against the Acquisition and exercising their right to convert their Public Shares into a pro-rata portion of the trust account, together with interest earned through two days prior to the anticipated consummation of the Acquisition.

The obligations of 2020, Exceed and the Sellers to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement also are conditioned upon a number of other matters that are described in the section entitled “The Purchase Agreement — Conditions to Closing.

Closing

Closing of the Acquisition shall take place on the 3rd business day after the conditions have been satisfied (or waived by Exceed) unless the parties agree in writing, but in any event no later than November 7, 2009.

Termination

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

(i) if any of the conditions has not been fulfilled or waived on or before November 7, 2009 (or such later date as the parties may from time to time agree in writing);
(ii) by Exceed or 2020, if:
(a) closing does not take place by November 7, 2009 as a result of any of the Sellers or the Founders (as defined in the section entitled “The Purchase Agreement”) failing to comply with any of their closing obligations; or
(b) Exceed or 2020 becomes aware that any of the warranties given by the Sellers or the Founders is incorrect, inaccurate or misleading or any of their obligations has been or is incapable of being carried out, in each case, which (in the reasonable opinion of Exceed or 2020) is material in the context of the Acquisition;
(iii) by the agent appointed by the majority Sellers (being Sellers who collectively hold more than 50% of the aggregate nominal value of all of the issued share capital of Windrace), if:
(a) closing does not take place by November 7, 2009 as a result of any of Exceed or 2020 failing to comply with any of their closing obligations; or
(b) any of the Sellers becomes aware that any of the warranties given by Exceed or 2020 is incorrect, inaccurate or misleading or any of their obligations has been or is incapable of being carried out, in each case, which (in the reasonable opinion of the agent of the majority Sellers) is material in the context of the acquisition of the Additional Shares (as defined in the section — The Purchase Agreement).

Each of 2020 and Exceed and Windrace may waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties made to such party contained in the Purchase Agreement and waive compliance with the requirements as to legal opinions. The conditions requiring that (i) the holders of the Public Shares approving the Acquisition and the Redomestication and the holders of fewer than 30% of the Public Shares affirmatively vote against the Acquisition Proposal and demand conversion of their shares into cash; and (ii) the receipt of consents and approvals, may not be waived. 2020 cannot assure you that any or all of the conditions will be satisfied or waived.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The existence of the financial and personal interests of the 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 2020 and what he may believe is best for himself in determining whether or not to grant a waiver in a specific situation.

Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Redomestication

As further set forth in “2020 Redomestication — Material United States Federal Income Tax Considerations” subject to the qualifications included in that discussion, the Redomestication should qualify as a “reorganization” under applicable U.S. federal income tax principles. In such case, no gain or loss should be recognized by 2020 stockholders for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of their exchange of 2020 common stock for the ordinary shares of Exceed. However, due to the absence of guidance directly on point on how the provisions of Code Section 368(a) apply in the case of a merger of a corporation (such as 2020) with no active business and only investment-type assets, this result is not free from doubt. If the Redomestication does not qualify as a reorganization under Section 368(a), U.S. Holders of 2020 common stock may recognize gain in an amount equal to the difference between the fair market of the ordinary shares of Exceed received in connection with the Redomestication and the basis of the 2020 common stock surrendered in the Redomestication.

2020 may recognize gain (but not loss) for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of the Redomestication in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the fair market value of each of its assets over such asset’s adjusted tax basis at the effective time of the Redomestication. Exceed should not recognize any gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of the Acquisition. Although it is anticipated that the “anti-inversion” provisions in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, should not apply to treat Exceed as a U.S. corporation after the Acquisition and the Redomestication, the application of the anti-inversion provisions is unsettled.

Enforceability of Civil Liabilities Against Non-U.S. Persons

Upon completion of the Acquisition and the Redomestication, the separate corporate existence of 2020 will terminate and all of 2020’s rights and obligations will be assumed by Exceed, a company incorporated under the laws of the British Virgin Islands. Following completion of the Acquisition and the Redomestication, Exceed’s direct subsidiary, Windrace, will be a company registered under the laws of the Cayman Islands, and Exceed’s indirectly held subsidiaries will consist of XDLong Investment, a company incorporated under the laws of the British Virgin Islands, XDLong HK, a company incorporated under the laws of Hong Kong and XDLong China and XDLong Fujian, companies incorporated under the laws of the PRC. XDLong China and XDlong Fujian will be the operating companies of the group and operate only in the PRC. Also, all Exceed’s officers and directors, other than William Sharp, will reside outside the United States and all or a substantial portion of the assets of those persons may be located outside the United States.

Although the PRC and the United States are signatories to the 1965 Hague Convention on the Service Abroad of Judicial and Extrajudicial Documents in Civil or Commercial Matters, service under this treaty is cumbersome and time consuming and may not result in adequate notice, such that any judgment based on service thereunder may be reopened, relitigated and overturned. Therefore, a 2020 stockholder should understand it is not likely that service of process upon Exceed or its subsidiaries, its officers and directors (other than William Sharp) or its assets will be obtainable within the United States or for actions originating in the United States.

It will also be difficult for stockholders to enforce outside the United States a judgment against Exceed or its subsidiaries or its assets obtained in the United States in any actions, including actions predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the federal securities laws of the United States or of the securities laws of any state of the United States. In addition, it may not be possible for stockholders to effect service of process within the United States upon them, or to enforce against them any judgments obtained in United States courts, including judgments predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the federal securities laws of the United States or of the securities laws of any state of the United States. See “Risk Factors — Risks Relating to the Acquisition  — BVI companies may not be able to initiate shareholder derivative actions, thereby depriving shareholders of the ability to protect their interests.

Foreign Private Issuer

Being a foreign private issuer would exempt Exceed from certain Securities and Exchange Commission requirements that provide stockholders the protection of information that must be made available to stockholders of United States public companies. See “Risk Factors — Being a foreign private issuer would exempt us from certain Securities and Exchange Commission requirements that provide stockholders the protection of information that must be made available to stockholders of United States public companies” for associated risks.

Upon consummation of the Redomestication, Exceed may be a foreign private issuer within the meaning of the rules promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. A foreign private issuer is any company organized under the laws of a country other than the United States other than a company that: (i) has more than 50 percent of its outstanding voting securities held by residents of the United States and (ii) meets one of the following three criteria: (a) the majority of the executive officers or directors of the company are United States citizens or residents, (b) more than 50 percent of the assets of the company are located in the United States; or (c) the business of the company is administered principally in the United States. Exceed is organized under the laws of the British Virgin Islands and, upon the consummation of the Reorganization and Acquisition more than 50% of the outstanding securities of Exceed will be held by non-U.S. residents. If Exceed qualifies as a foreign private issuer, it will be exempt from certain provisions applicable to United States public companies including:

The rules requiring the filing with the SEC of quarterly reports on Form 10-Q or current reports on Form 8-K;
The sections of the Securities Exchange Act regulating the solicitation of proxies, consents or authorizations with respect to a security registered under the Securities Exchange Act;
Provisions of Regulation FD aimed at preventing issuers from making selective disclosures of material information; and
The sections of the Securities Exchange Act requiring insiders to file public reports of their stock ownership and trading activities and establishing insider liability for profits realized from any “short swing” trading transactions (i.e., a purchase and sale, or a sale and purchase, of the issuer’s equity securities within less than six months).

As a foreign private issuer, Exceed will file an annual report on Form 20-F within six months of the close of each fiscal year and reports on Form 6-K relating to certain material events promptly after we publicly announce these events. However, because of the foregoing filing exemptions, Exceed’s shareholders will not be afforded the same protections or information generally available to investors holding shares in public companies organized in the United States, such as 2020.

Regulatory Matters

The Acquisition and the Redomestication and the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement are not subject to any additional federal or state regulatory requirement or approval, including the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, or HSR Act, except for filings with the State of Delaware and the Registrar of Corporate Affairs of the British Virgin Islands necessary to effectuate the Redomestication.

For details relating to whether the approval of the China Securities Regulatory Commission in connection with the Acquisition may be required and related risks, see Risk Factors — Risks Relating to the PRC — The approval of the China Securities Regulatory Commission may be required in connection with this Acquisition under a recently adopted PRC regulation, and, if required, Windrace cannot currently predict whether it will be able to obtain such approval.” To date, neither 2020, Exceed, nor Windrace has contacted, nor has either company been contacted by, the China Securities Regulatory Commission regarding the approval of the Acquisition.

Risk Factors

In evaluating the Acquisition Proposal, the Redomestication Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal, you should carefully read this proxy statement/prospectus and especially consider the factors discussed in the section entitled “Risk Factors.

PRO FORMA SUMMARY UNAUDITED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

2020 CHINACAP ACQUIRCO, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY AND
WINDRACE INTERNATIONAL COMPANY LIMITED
(FORMERLY XDLONG INTERNATIONAL COMPANY LIMITED)

Anticipated Accounting Treatment

The Acquisition (including the Redomestication), will be accounted for as a reverse recapitalization since, immediately following completion of the transaction, the shareholders of Windrace immediately prior to the Acquisition will have effective control of 2020 through (1) their shareholder interest comprising the largest control block of shares in the combined entity, in either the scenario assuming no share redemptions or the scenario assuming maximum share redemptions and excluding the Escrowed Shares, the Earn-Out Shares and the Additional Investor Shares, (2) significant representation on the Board of Directors (initially two members, including an independent director), with one other board member being independent, and (3) being named to all of the senior executive positions. Accordingly, the combined assets, liabilities and results of operations of Windrace will become the historical financial statements of 2020 at the closing of the transaction, and 2020’s assets (primarily cash and cash equivalents), liabilities and results of operations will be consolidated with Windrace beginning on the acquisition date. No step-up in basis or intangible assets or goodwill will be recorded in this transaction. All direct costs of the transaction will be charged to operations in the period that such costs are incurred.

Actual results could differ from the pro forma information presented and depend on several variables, including, pursuant to provisions in the Purchase Agreement, the release to Windrace’s current shareholders in the aggregate amount of from 9,708,030 ordinary shares to 12,400,245 ordinary shares from an escrow account for achieving certain income thresholds (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) in each of the three years ending December 31, 2009 through December 31, 2011, and an additional 2,212,789 ordinary shares issuable to Windrace’s current shareholders as an earn-out if the income threshold for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2011 is fully met. Such Escrowed Shares and Earn-Out Shares will be recorded as an adjustment to the accounting acquiree’s basis in the reverse recapitalization at par value, and will be included in the calculations of earnings per share from that date.

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared assuming that the Acquisition and the Redomestication had occurred (i) at the beginning of the pro forma statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and the year ended December 31, 2008 and (ii) at June 30, 2009 for the pro forma balance sheet. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information presents two possible scenarios for the approval of the Acquisition by 2020’s stockholders, as follows:

Assuming No Redemption of Shares:  This presentation assumes that no stockholders exercised their redemption rights; and
Assuming Maximum Redemption of Shares:  This presentation assumes that holders of 2,586,638 shares of 2020’s outstanding common stock (29.99%) exercise their redemption rights.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is provided for illustrative purposes only. The historical financial information in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet has been adjusted to give effect to pro forma events that are directly attributable to the Acquisition and are factually supportable. The historical financial information in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations has been adjusted to give effect to pro forma events that are directly attributable to the Acquisition, are factually supportable, and are expected to have a continuing impact on the combined results.

The unaudited pro forma balance sheet data reflects the acquisition of Windrace as further discussed in the “Summary” section of this proxy statement/prospectus. The historical balance sheet of 2020 at June 30, 2009 used in the preparation of the unaudited pro forma financial information has been derived from the unaudited balance sheet of 2020 at June 30, 2009.

RISK FACTORS

You should carefully consider the following risk factors, together with all of the other information included in this proxy statement/prospectus, before you decide whether to vote or instruct your vote to be cast to adopt the Acquisition and the Redomestication Proposals. If we complete the Acquisition of Windrace, Exceed will be subject to a number of risks. Exceed has described all material risks that are currently known and reasonably foreseeable. You should carefully consider the risks we describe below and the other information included in this proxy statement/prospectus before you decide how you want to vote on the Acquisition Proposal and the Redomestication Proposal. Following the closing of the Acquisition, the market price of our common stock could decline due to any of these risks, in which case you could lose all or part of your investment. In assessing these risks, you should also refer to the other information included in this proxy statement/ prospectus, including our consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. You should pay particular attention to the fact that we would become a BVI company with substantial operations in the PRC. As a result, we would be subject to legal and regulatory environments that differ in many respects from those of the United States. Our business financial condition or results of operations could be affected materially and adversely by any of the risks discussed below. This discussion contains forward-looking statements.

Risks Relating to Windrace’s Business

Deterioration of economic conditions and a resulting decrease in consumer demand for Windrace’s products could materially adversely affect its financial condition and results of operations.

Demand for Windrace’s products, and the resulting purchase orders from its distributors, is largely dependent upon prevailing economic conditions. The recent financial crisis and economic downturns in global markets have impacted, and could further impact, the purchase orders from its distributors. Windrace’s revenue decreased 19.7% from RMB1,017.4 million (approximately $149.2 million) for the six months ended June 30, 2008 to RMB816.8 million (approximately $119.8 million) for the six months ended June 30, 2009. As the crisis spreads to China, demand for consumer products, including demand for Windrace’s sports products, could further decline.

Windrace distributes its products mainly through the Xidelong retail stores operated by independent third party distributors over which Windrace has limited control.

Windrace distributes its products mainly through the Xidelong retail stores, which offer Windrace’s products exclusively and do not carry other brands’ products. Windrace’s 23 distributors own and operate all Xidelong retail stores. They operate some of the Xidelong retail stores directly and delegate operation of the remaining stores to third parties. Windrace has limited control over the Xidelong retail stores operated by its distributors and authorized third party retail store operators. It has contractual relationships only with its distributors and not with authorized third party retail store operators. There can be no assurance that these current distribution arrangements provide Windrace sufficient control to ensure the Xidelong retail stores sell Windrace’s products on an exclusive basis or to prevent its Xidelong brand from being associated with any negative image relating to quality or customer service. Such association could damage Windrace’s brand image and reputation and could have a material adverse effect on its business, results of operations and financial condition. Further, if distributors experience financial difficulties, they may unilaterally attempt to liquidate their inventory build-up through discounts at their Xidelong retail stores without Windrace’s approval, which may damage the image and the value of Windrace’s “[GRAPHIC MISSING]” (Xidelong) brand.

Adverse changes in the business and creditworthiness of Windrace’s distributors could materially adversely affect its financial condition and results of operations.

Windrace derives all of its revenue from sales to distributors. Such arrangement is risky for the following reasons:

Windrace’s distributors generally do not have any contractual obligation to purchase minimum quantities of Windrace’s products and may reduce purchases of Windrace’s products on short notice.
Windrace sources purchase orders primarily at sales fairs, and such orders constituted approximately 80% to 90% of its annual revenue. Purchase order quantities may be subsequently adjusted upward

30


 
 

TABLE OF CONTENTS

or downward by amounts ranging from 10% to 15% before finalization. In 2008, Windrace agreed with certain distributors to reduce orders by 15% to 20% before finalization to prevent overflow of inventory among such distributors arising out of any decreased consumer demand resulting from the reduction of delivery due to anticipated reduced consumer demand arising from the financial crisis and economic downturn that began in 2008. The products Windrace ships to its distributors are based on actual orders received from distributors after upward or downward adjustments, if any.
Certain distributors, especially those adversely affected by the worsened economic conditions, may delay or default on their payments to Windrace. Increased credit risk of distributors may materially adversely affect Windrace’s financial condition and results of operations and limit its growth prospects.

If Windrace’s distributors perform poorly or if Windrace fails to maintain good relationship with its distributors or retains them in its distribution network, Windrace’s sales, financial condition and operating results may be adversely affected.

Windrace relies on its distributors for the expansion of its retail sales network but they may not be willing to accommodate the needs of Windrace’s business plans.

As of June 30, 2009, Windrace’s distribution network consisted of 3,411 Xidelong retail stores covering 28 provinces and municipalities in China, 995 of which were operated directly by 23 distributors and the remaining 2,416 were operated indirectly through authorized third party retail store operators. Windrace relies on its existing and new distributors to assist it in exploring new markets for its products and identifying potential locations for new stores. The number of the Xidelong retail stores increased from 3,277 at December 31, 2008 to 3,411 at June 30, 2008. Some of Windrace’s distributors, however, also distribute other brands of sports and leisurewear products, including competitor brands. Although these distributors are required to operate separate retail stores for other brands’ products, there can be no assurance that they will always provide favorable retail store locations and marketing resources to Windrace. There can be no assurance that their expansion would be timely or sufficient in scope to satisfy the needs of Windrace’s business.

Windrace relies on several large distributors for a significant portion of its sales.

Windrace derives a significant portion of its sales from several large distributors. For 2006, 2007 and 2008 and the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2009, sales to its top five distributors accounted for approximately 58.0%, 43.4%, 43.1%, 46.3% and 32.7%, respectively, of its total revenue. For 2006, 2007 and 2008 and the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2009, sales to Windrace’s single largest distributor accounted for approximately 18.5%, 13.8%, 12.3%, 12.8% and 9.4%, respectively, of Windrace’s total revenue. Windrace generally enters into distributorship agreements with its distributors for up to a term of 12 months. The duration of Windrace’s contractual relationships with each of its top five distributors has been for more than three years. Windrace does not manufacture its products on a make-to-order basis, but takes orders for its prototype products at sales fairs before entering into sale contracts with its distributors to manufacture its products. Windrace’s purchase orders at sales fairs constitute approximately 80% to 90% of its revenue. There can be no assurance that Windrace’s top distributors will renew their distributorship agreements with Windrace on commercially acceptable terms or at all.

Under Windrace’s agreements with its distributors, Windrace appoints only one distributor instead of multiple competing distributors for one designated geographical area or region. This enables it to manage and monitor the distributor and the Xidelong retail stores in the designated region more effectively. While Windrace may rely on a sole distributor in a designated region to sell its products, Windrace believes it would be able to appoint a replacement distributor in the designated region if the need arises. However, to the extent that any distributor for any particular market ceases to cooperate with Windrace for any reason and Windrace is not able to find a suitable replacement distributor for that market in a timely manner, Windrace may lose significant business in that market. Furthermore, Windrace’s top distributors are not obliged to continue to place orders with Windrace at the same levels as before or at all. There can be no assurance that Windrace would be able to obtain orders from other distributors to replace any such lost sales. Any substantial reduction in purchases from Windrace’s top distributors, or any failure to renew their agreements with Windrace, may result in a significant loss of sales and Windrace’s business, financial condition and results of operation may be materially adversely affected.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The wholesale prices at which Windrace sells its products to its distributors are determined by factors beyond its control. In addition, sales of Windrace’s products at a discount to suggested retail price to end customers could have an adverse effect on Windrace’s business and brand name.

The prices at which Windrace sells its products are affected by supply and demand fluctuations inherent in the market for its products. Under its business model, Windrace sells its products to distributors and does not sell directly to consumers. Windrace does not have any agreements with its distributors that provide for a minimum purchase price at which the distributors buy its products. Windrace does, however, provide suggested retail prices. As such, the wholesale prices Windrace offers for its products to its distributors must match the distributors’ expectations for the retail sale of its products to consumers. If distributors believe that Windrace’s suggested retail prices do not justify the wholesale prices Windrace is offering them, they may require Windrace to lower its wholesale prices. If the wholesale prices of Windrace’s products should decrease, Windrace’s growth targets, financial condition, and results of operations may be materially adversely affected.

During the years ended December 31, 2006, 2007 and 2008 and the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2009, a number of distributors notified Windrace of certain products with minor deviation from specification. Because such deviation and the amounts involved were immaterial, Windrace allowed the distributors and their authorized third-party retailers to sell these products at a discount to the suggested retail prices to end consumers. The amounts of any such discount were decided and approved by Windrace on a case-by-case basis. Further, such discounts only affected the suggested retail prices to end consumers and had no impact on Windrace’s revenue because the wholesale price at which Windrace sold these products to the distributors remained unchanged. However, if the deviation from specification and the amounts involved were to become material in the future, the distributors could potentially negotiate for a reduction in the wholesale prices, which would adversely affect Windrace’s business. Increased sales of products with deviation from specification could also damage Windrace’s brand image.

Windrace is exposed to credit risks of its distributors, some of which may experience financial difficulties, which could in turn adversely affect Windrace’s financial condition and results of operations.

Windrace provides credit terms to its distributors based on its assessment of each distributor’s financial condition. Windrace’s distributors place advance orders at sales fairs but the risk of default may increase when dealing with financially ailing distributors or distributors struggling with economic uncertainty. Windrace’s increased sales going forward may rely heavily on credit, and Windrace may be unable to collect these accounts receivable in full or at all. The loss of, or significant decrease in, sales to these distributors, or their failure to pay Windrace in a timely manner or at all, could materially adversely affect Windrace’s business, financial condition and results of operation.

Windrace’s sales to distributors may not directly correlate to the demand for its products by end consumers, which could adversely affect Windrace’s ability to accurately track market trends and preferences of end consumers for its products and respond to such changing market dynamics.

Windrace sells its products to distributors and does not sell directly to end consumers. Windrace neither accepts returns from distributors of unsold stock nor tracks information on a real-time basis with respect to the inventory levels and movements of its products at all of the Xidelong retail stores. Windrace’s distributors do not provide Windrace with any sales reports. Therefore, in order to monitor consumer demand for its products, Windrace requires its distributors to submit inventory reports that provide information on the sales of Windrace’s products by its distributors. These reports enable Windrace to identify whether its products are gaining consumer acceptance at the Xidelong retail stores. However, such reporting system requires the cooperation of the distributors to report accurately and submit the relevant inventory data to Windrace on a timely basis. If Windrace’s distributors do not provide accurate and timely inventory data, Windrace is not able to assess accurately whether its sales to distributors track sales of its products to end consumers. Further, Windrace is only able to obtain inventory data from the retail stores directly operated by the distributors but not the authorized third party retail store operators because Windrace does not have contractual relationships with them. Therefore, Windrace relies on its distributors to monitor inventory levels and overall sales performance

of authorized third party retail store operators. If Windrace is unable to track end-consumer sales accurately, it may not be able to assess market trends and preferences, which ultimately could have a material adverse effect on its revenue.

Windrace faces increasing labor costs and other costs of production in the PRC, which could materially adversely affect its profitability.

The sportswear manufacturing industry is labor intensive. Labor costs in China have been increasing in recent years and Windrace’s labor costs in the PRC could continue to increase in the future. If labor costs in the PRC continue to increase, Windrace’s production costs, including both Windrace’s own manufacturing and its outsourcing costs, will likely increase. This may in turn affect the selling prices of Windrace’s products, which may then affect the demand of such products and thereby adversely affect Windrace’s sales, financial condition and results of operations. Moreover, increases in costs of product parts required for production of Windrace’s products such as natural and synthetic leather, and semi-finished rubber soles, increases in electricity costs and other increases in production costs may cause similar adverse effects, particularly if Windrace is unable to identify and employ other appropriate means to reduce its costs of production. Furthermore, Windrace may not be able to pass on these increased costs to consumers by increasing the selling prices of its products in light of competitive pressure in the markets where it operates. In such circumstances, its profit margin may decrease and its financial results may be adversely affected.

Interruptions in Windrace’s supply of raw materials and product parts could adversely affect its business, financial condition and results of operations.

Windrace purchases a large portion of its raw materials and product parts from a small number of suppliers. For 2006, 2007 and 2008, Windrace’s standard supply agreements were for one year. Starting from 2009, such agreements have been extended to two years. For 2006, 2007 and 2008 and the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2009, Windrace purchased raw materials for its products from 48, 38, 36, 32 and 44 suppliers, respectively, most of which are located in Quanzhou, which is adjacent to Jinjiang. Windrace’s contractual relationships with most of its suppliers have been in place since 2004. For 2006, 2007 and 2008 and the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2009, Windrace’s top five raw material suppliers and subcontractors accounted for approximately 30.3%, 35.6%, 40.4%, 45.0% and 42.6%, respectively, of its total purchases from raw material suppliers and subcontractors. Windrace’s single largest supplier accounted for approximately 11.4%, 7.9%, 9.9%, 12.5% and 12.6%, respectively, of its total purchases. There can be no assurance that Windrace’s top suppliers will continue to deliver raw materials or product parts to it in a timely manner or at acceptable prices and quality, or at all. Any disruption in supply of raw materials or product parts from Windrace’s suppliers may adversely affect its business, financial condition and results of operations.

Windrace’s profitability may decrease if it is unable to pass on increased cost of raw materials and product parts to its customers.

Windrace’s manufacturing operations depend on adequate supplies of raw materials and product parts. Windrace purchases all of its raw materials on an order-by-order basis with suppliers. The prices of certain of Windrace’s key raw materials, such as synthetic leather, are subject to factors beyond its control, such as fluctuations in crude oil prices. Windrace may also experience difficulty in obtaining other acceptable quality materials on a timely basis and the prices that it pays for such materials may increase due to increased demand or other factors. Windrace may not be able to pass on the increased cost to its customers by increasing the selling prices due to competitive pressure in the markets. In such circumstances, Windrace’s business, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected.

Windrace relies on third party contract manufacturers for a portion of its footwear production and all of its apparel and accessories production and failure of such parties to provide products in a timely fashion could adversely affect its business, financial condition and results of operations.

During 2006, 2007 and 2008, Windrace outsourced a portion of its footwear production to three contract manufacturers and all of its apparel and accessories production to more than 30 contract manufacturers. During the six months ended June 30, 2008, Windrace outsourced production of a portion of its footwear to three contract manufacturers and all of its apparel and accessories to 20 contract manufacturers. During the six

33


 
 

TABLE OF CONTENTS

months ended June 30, 2009, Windrace outsourced production of a portion of its footwear to two contract manufacturers and all of its apparel and accessories to more than ten contract manufacturers. The table below sets forth the percentages of the products that Windrace outsourced to these contract manufacturers in terms of sales volume for the periods indicated:

         
    
For the year ended December 31,
  For six months ended June 30,
  2006   2007   2008   2008   2009
Footwear     20.3     37.1     47.8     55.4     21.9
Apparel     100.0     100.0     100.0     100.0     100.0
Accessories     100.0     100.0     100.0     100.0     100.0

For 2006, 2007 and 2008, the duration of agreements with Windrace’s contract manufacturers for footwear, apparel and accessories had been one year. Starting from 2009 the duration of agreements with Windrace’s contract manufacturers has been extended to two years.

For 2006, 2007 and 2008 and the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2009, Windrace’s single largest contract manufacturer of footwear accounted for approximately 39.3%, 35.2%, 40.8%, 41.2% and 38.9%, respectively, of its total purchases of footwear. For 2006, 2007 and 2008 and the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2009, Windrace’s single largest contract manufacturer for apparel and accessories accounted for approximately 20.9%, 14.8%, 15.7%, 14.0% and 22.6%, respectively, of its total purchases of apparel and accessories. For 2006, 2007 and 2008 and the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2009, Windrace’s top five contract manufacturers for apparel and accessories accounted for approximately 49.6%, 48.0%, 57.1%, 54.2% and 71.9%, respectively, of its total purchases of apparel and accessories.

Windrace has not entered into any long term contracts with these contract manufacturers. As such, there can be no assurance that Windrace can renew these contracts upon expiry, on commercially acceptable terms, or at all. Contract manufacturers may unilaterally terminate Windrace’s supply contracts or they may seek to increase the prices that they charge. As a result, Windrace is not assured of an uninterrupted supply of footwear, apparel and accessories of acceptable quality or at acceptable prices from its contract manufacturers. Windrace may not be able to offset any interruption or decrease in supply of its products by increasing production at its own production facilities due to capacity constraints, and it may not be able to substitute suitable alternative contract manufacturers in a timely manner at commercially acceptable terms. Any disruption in Windrace’s supply of products from contract manufacturers may adversely affect Windrace’s business and could result in loss of sales and increase in production costs, which would adversely affect Windrace’s business and results of operations.

Windrace may be involved in legal proceedings arising from violation of relevant laws, rules or regulations particularly in respect of labor and environmental protection by third party contract manufacturers and suffer from damage to its reputation.

Windrace contracts with third-party contract manufacturers and raw material suppliers. In order to protect the reputation of its brand, Windrace strives to adhere to all relevant laws, rules and regulations, particularly in respect of labor and environmental protection. However, Windrace does not exercise any control over the operations of its contract manufacturers or suppliers and is therefore not able to ensure their compliance with applicable laws and regulations. Therefore, there can be no assurance that Windrace’s contract manufacturers or suppliers are in compliance with, or will comply with, all applicable labor and environmental laws, rules and regulations with respect to their manufacturing operations. In the event that Windrace’s contract manufacturers or suppliers violate any of these laws, rules or regulations, any resulting negative publicity may damage Windrace’s brand and defeat its brand building efforts. In the event that Windrace were named as a defendant in a lawsuit or any other proceeding arising from violations by Windrace’s contract manufacturers or suppliers of any applicable laws, rules or regulations with respect to their manufacturing operations, Windrace will incur costs and resources in defending itself in such a lawsuit or proceeding. As a result of the foregoing factors, Windrace’s business, profitability and results of operations may be adversely affected.

Failure to continue to obtain high quality endorsers to promote Windrace’s products could harm Windrace’s business.

Windrace engages external educational institutions, former professional athletes and celebrities to promote its products and establish the credibility of its products with consumers. If any of Windrace’s endorsers associated with Windrace’s products were to stop using its products in violation of their endorsement agreements, Windrace’s business could be adversely affected. In addition, actions taken by these endorsers that harm their reputations could in turn also harm Windrace’s brand image with consumers, which could have an adverse effect on Windrace’s sales and financial condition. In addition, poor performance by Windrace’s endorsers in their fields, Windrace’s failure to continue to correctly identify promising athletes and/or celebrities to use and endorse its products, or Windrace’s failure to enter into endorsement arrangements with prominent athletes and sports organizations, could adversely affect Windrace’s brand and result in decreased sales of its products.

Failure to effectively promote or maintain the Xidelong brand may affect Windrace’s performance and sales and incur significant costs.

The image of the Xidelong brand is an important factor in influencing consumer preferences and building brand loyalty. Promoting and maintaining the Xidelong brand is therefore crucial to Windrace’s success and growth within the PRC sportswear market. Windrace has a branding and promotional department that deals mainly with media arrangements, sponsorships and other endorsement activities. Windrace uses a variety of media, such as television, newspapers, magazines, the Internet and outdoor billboard displays to build both regional and national brand recognition. Windrace collaborates with athletes, media celebrities and industry experts on marketing and endorsement arrangements and they act as spokespersons for the Xidelong brand. Windrace spent approximately 7.0%, 7.2%, 7.5%, 4.2% and 3.9% of its annual revenue on its advertising and promotional activities for 2006, 2007 and 2008 and the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2009, respectively. If Windrace is unsuccessful in promoting its Xidelong brand among its targeted consumer groups, the goodwill and consumer acceptance of its Xidelong brand may be eroded, and its business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may be adversely affected. As Windrace also promotes its brand through athletes, media celebrities and spokespersons, its brand is partly dependent on the public perception of these individuals, over which Windrace has no control. Any negative publicity, whether in the PRC or abroad, in relation to Windrace’s brand or its brand representatives could have an adverse effect on the public’s perception of its brands, which could have a negative impact on Windrace’s business and results of operations.

In addition, Windrace has incurred and expects to continue to incur significant costs and expenses arising out of its brand-building activities including, but not limited to, sponsorships and increased advertising in regional and national newspapers, magazines, the Internet, television and billboard displays. These activities may not be successful in building the goodwill and profile of Windrace’s brand, which could have a negative effect on its sales and results of operations.

Windrace’s sales may be affected by seasonality, weather conditions and a number of other factors.

Windrace operates its business in the PRC and derives all of its revenue from these operations. Generally, PRC consumers’ spending behavior is stable year-on-year but varies seasonally, particularly during the Chinese New Year in early spring, the Labor Day holiday in early May, the summer months and the National Day holiday in early October.

Generally, Windrace experiences moderate fluctuations in its aggregate sales volume during the year. Historically, revenues in the third and fourth fiscal quarters have slightly exceeded those in the first and second fiscal quarters. However, the mix of product sales may vary considerably from time to time as a result of changes in seasonal and geographic demand for particular types of footwear, apparel and accessories. In addition, unexpected and abnormal changes in climate may affect sales of Windrace’s products that are timed for release during a particular season. For example, the climate change resulted in an extended winter season from 2008 to 2009 in many regions in China. A longer winter adversely affected the delivery schedules to the distributors and the sales volumes of Windrace’s spring and summer collections in the first quarter of 2009.

Fluctuations in Windrace’s sales may also result from a number of other factors including:

the timing of Windrace’s competitors’ launch of new products;

35


 
 

TABLE OF CONTENTS

the timing of international and domestic sports events;
consumer acceptance of Windrace’s new and existing products;
changes in the overall sportswear industry growth rates;
economic and demographic conditions that affect consumer spending and retail sales;
the mix of products ordered by Windrace’s distributors;
the timing of the placement and delivery of distributor orders; and
variation in the expenditure necessary to support Windrace’s business.

As a result, we believe that comparisons of Windrace’s operating results between any interim periods may not be meaningful and that these comparisons may not be an accurate indicator of Windrace’s future performance.

Windrace’s operations may be disrupted and its business, financial condition and/or results of operations may be adversely affected by a failure in its facilities for reasons beyond its control.

Windrace’s manufacturing operations could be disrupted for reasons beyond its control. The causes of disruptions may include extreme weather conditions, landslides, earthquakes, fires, natural catastrophes, raw material supply disruptions, equipment and system failures, labor force shortages, energy shortages, workforce actions or environmental issues. Any significant disruption to Windrace’s operations could adversely affect its ability to make and sell products.

In addition, the occurrence of any of these events could have a material adverse effect on the productivity and profitability of any of Windrace’s manufacturing facilities and on its business, financial condition or results of operations, and/or the operations of its distributors.

In May 2008, Wenchuan County of Sichuan Province, a region that is approximately 360 kilometers away from Chongqing City, suffered an earthquake with a 8.0 magnitude on the Richter Scale. 87 retail stores of Windrace’s distributors were shut down as a result of the earthquake. There can be no assurance that Windrace will not suffer any further losses as a result of similar reasons beyond its control in the future.

Windrace has a limited operating history and its historical results of operations of its apparel business may not be indicative of its future performance.

Windrace’s business began when XDLong Fujian was established in September 2001. Windrace therefore has a limited history of operation and the historical financial information in this proxy statement/prospectus may not necessarily reflect its future results of operation. There also may not be a sufficient basis to evaluate its future prospects.

Further, since the commencement of its apparel business in 2003, Windrace has outsourced all of its apparel production to contract manufacturers. Windrace is currently examining plans to commence its own production of apparel. Windrace has a limited operating history in the sale and marketing of apparel and does not have any experience in manufacturing apparel. As a result, the historical operating results of Windrace’s apparel business may not provide a meaningful basis for evaluating the performance of its apparel business going forward and may not be indicative of its future performance.

If Windrace is unable to increase its production capacity due to its internal production constraints or its inability to locate suitable contract manufacturers with sufficient production capacity of their own, its operating results may be adversely affected.

Windrace manufactures a significant portion of its footwear at its production facility in Jinjiang, Fujian province. Windrace outsources the manufacturing of a portion of its footwear and all of its apparel and accessories to contract manufacturers. Although Windrace produces a portion of its footwear products in house, it expects to continue to rely on contract manufacturers for the production of a portion of its footwear and all of its apparel and accessories. Therefore, Windrace’s ability to continue to increase its sales depends on the successful expansion of its footwear production capacity at its production facility and the availability of

36

contract manufacturers with sufficient production capacity of their own. If Windrace is unable to continue to increase its internal production capacity or engage suitable contract manufacturers, its operating results may be adversely affected.

Windrace may not be able to manage its growth effectively and its growth may slow down in the future.

Windrace has been expanding its business rapidly and intends to continue to do so either through organic growth or through acquisitions and investments in related businesses as it deems appropriate. Such expansion may place a significant strain on Windrace’s managerial, operational and financial resources. Further, Windrace has no prior experience in engaging in the management and operation of retail stores or retail business. Windrace will need to manage its growth effectively, which may entail devising and implementing business plans, training and managing its growing workforce, managing its costs and implementing adequate control and reporting systems in a timely manner. There can be no assurance that Windrace’s personnel, procedures and controls will be managed effectively to support its future growth adequately. Failure to manage its expansion effectively may affect its success in executing its business plan and adversely affect its business, financial condition and results of operation. In addition, Windrace’s growth in percentage terms may slow in the future. Accordingly, you should not rely on its historic growth rate as an indicator for its future growth rate.

Windrace may not be successful in its future expansion plans and may be unable to secure sufficient funding for such plans to further grow its business.

Windrace’s business expansion plans will require it to increase investments in, and devote significant resources to, its brand promotion efforts, its internal production capacities, its research and design capabilities and the Xidelong sales distribution network operated by its distributors. If Windrace fails to implement its future expansion plans, it may not achieve its growth target. Furthermore, Windrace’s ability to obtain adequate funds to finance its expansion plans depends on its financial condition and results of operations, as well as other factors that may be outside its control, such as general market conditions, the performance of the PRC sportswear industry, and political and economic conditions in China. If additional capital is unavailable, Windrace may be forced to abandon some or all of its expansion plans, as a result of which its business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

Loss of any key executive personnel or any failure to attract such personnel in the future will adversely impact Windrace’s business and growth prospects.

Windrace’s future success will depend on the continued service of its senior management. In particular, Mr. Lin Shuipan, chairman of the board and chief executive officer, has over 15 years’ experience in the sportswear industry and is responsible for the overall corporate strategies, planning and business development of Windrace group. His experience and leadership is critical to Windrace’s operations and financial performance. Windrace does not maintain any “key-man” insurance policy. If Windrace loses the services of Mr. Lin or any of its key executive personnel and cannot replace them in a timely manner, such loss may reduce its competitiveness, and may adversely affect its financial condition, operating results and future prospects. In addition, Windrace’s success depends significantly on other personnel and, in particular, its team of designers. Other international and domestic competitors that operate in the PRC may be able to offer more favorable compensation packages to recruit personnel whom Windrace considers desirable. Windrace’s continued success will depend on its ability to attract and retain qualified personnel in order to manage its existing operations as well as its future growth. Windrace may not be able to attract, assimilate or retain the personnel whom it needs. Its staff expenses in relation thereto may increase significantly. This may adversely affect its ability to expand its business effectively.

Failure to develop technically innovative products could adversely affect Windrace’s competitiveness.

While design and aesthetics of Windrace’s products are important factors for consumer acceptance of its products, technical innovation in the design of footwear, apparel, and sports equipment is also essential to the commercial success of its products. Research and development plays a key role in technical innovation. Windrace relies upon specialists in the fields of biomechanics, exercise physiology, engineering, industrial design and related fields, and other experts to develop cutting edge performance products. While Windrace

37


 
 

TABLE OF CONTENTS

strives to produce products that help to reduce injury, enhance athletic performance and maximize comfort, its failure to introduce technical innovation in its products could result in a decline in consumer demand for its products.

Windrace’s research and development capabilities may be adversely affected if it is unable to renew the technology cooperation agreement with China Institute of Sport Science.

One element of Windrace’s growth strategy is to continue to design and manufacture products through further investment in product design and research and development initiatives. Windrace primarily relies on the China Institute of Sport Science for such research and development initiatives. Its technology cooperation agreement with the China Institute of Sport Science, General Administration of Sport of China is for a term of five years from October 20, 2006, which Windrace may renew at its option. There can be no assurance, however, that the China Institute of Sport Science will comply with the terms and conditions of the agreement and the renewal provisions. If Windrace does not renew the agreement or if the China Institute of Sport Science breaches the agreement prior to the expiration of its term for any reason, Windrace’s research and development capabilities may be adversely affected. This could in turn have an indirect adverse effect to Windrace’s results of operations and financial condition.

Windrace may be involved in litigation on intellectual property infringement or other litigation or regulatory proceedings, which could adversely affect its reputation, financial condition and results of operations.

Windrace may design products with elements that may inadvertently infringe copyright or other intellectual property rights, as a result of which other parties may initiate litigation or other proceedings against it. Responding to and defending these proceedings may require substantial costs and diversion of resources, and the result of these proceedings may be uncertain. Furthermore, Windrace’s reputation may be adversely affected.

Windrace may be subject to other lawsuits and regulatory actions relating to its business from time to time. Due to the inherent uncertainties of litigation and regulatory proceedings, Windrace cannot accurately predict the ultimate outcome of any such proceedings. An unfavorable outcome could have an adverse impact on its business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, any significant litigation in the future, regardless of its merits, could divert management’s attention from Windrace’s operations and result in substantial legal fees.

If Windrace is unable to adequately protect its intellectual property, it may be involved in legal proceedings which could be expensive and time consuming and consumers may shift their preference away from its products.

We believe that Windrace’s trademarks, patents, and other intellectual property rights are important to its brand, its success and its competitive position. Windrace considers its Xidelong and “[GRAPHIC MISSING]” trademarks to be among its most valuable assets and it has registered these trademarks in the PRC. In addition, Windrace owns other trademarks that it uses in marketing its products. Windrace periodically discovers products that it believes are counterfeit reproductions of its products or that otherwise infringe on its intellectual property rights. Windrace may pursue litigation in the future to enforce its intellectual property rights. Any such litigation could result in substantial costs and a diversion of its resources. If Windrace is unsuccessful in challenging a party’s products on the basis of trademark or design or utility patent infringement, continued sales of these products could adversely affect Windrace’s sales and its brand and result in the shift of consumer preference away from its products. The actions Windrace takes to establish and protect trademarks, patents, and other intellectual property rights may not be adequate to prevent imitation of its products by others or to prevent others from seeking to block sales of its products on grounds of violations of proprietary rights.

Changes in existing laws and regulations or additional or stricter laws and regulations on environmental protection in the PRC may cause Windrace to incur additional capital expenditures.

Windrace’s production facility is located in Jinjiang, Fujian province and is subject to PRC environmental protection laws and regulations. These laws and regulations require enterprises engaged in manufacturing that

38


 
 

TABLE OF CONTENTS

may generate industrial waste to adopt effective measures to control and properly dispose of such waste. The relevant administrative department for environmental protection can levy fines for any violations of such environmental laws or regulations. For material violations, the PRC government may suspend or close any or all of Windrace’s operations. There can also be no assurance that the PRC government will not change the existing laws or regulations or impose additional or stricter laws or regulation. Compliance with any of these additional or stricter laws or regulations may cause Windrace to incur additional capital expenditure, which it may be unable to pass on to its customers through higher prices for its products.

Windrace’s current insurance coverage may not be sufficient to cover the risks related to its operations.

Windrace’s operations are subject to hazards and risks normally associated with manufacturing operations, which may cause damage to persons or property. Currently, Windrace maintains insurance policies for damage to real property and for employer liability for personal injury of employees. Windrace is not required under PRC law to maintain, and it does not maintain, any product liability insurance. If Windrace was found liable for any product liability claim, it may be required to pay substantial damages. Even if Windrace were successful in defending such a claim, it may incur substantial financial and other resources in defending such a claim. Under such circumstances, its financial results will be adversely affected. Depending on the outcome of any such claim, the reputation of Xidelong brand may also be adversely affected. Further, Windrace does not maintain business interruption insurance or third party liability insurance against claims for property damage, personal injury and environmental liabilities. The occurrence of any of these events may result in interruption of Windrace’s operations and subject it to significant losses or liabilities. Any losses or liabilities that are not covered by Windrace’s current insurance policies may have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition and results of operations.

Non-compliance with PRC laws and regulations by Windrace may result in certain legal consequences under PRC law.

Pursuant to the State-owned Land Use Right Transfer Contract for the grant of land use rights for the production site in Jinjiang, XDLong Fujian is required to commence construction by February 28, 2006. However, XDLong Fujian did not commence construction by such date. XDLong Fujian is applying to relevant local government agency to postpone construction on the land. However, it is possible that the local government may repossess the land before XDLong Fujian obtains an approval to postpone construction. The land covers an area of approximately 15,000 square meters and XDLong Fujian paid approximately RMB53,000 to the government as land grant fees. If the local government repossesses the land, Windrace will lose its land use rights over the land and Windrace will not be able to recover the land grant fees previously paid to the government. In addition, Windrace will not be able to construct additional facilities on the land to implement its expansion plans.

Under PRC law, a company must apply to the environmental protection authority in the PRC for an environmental protection examination and acceptance after completion of a construction project. XDLong China has not applied for an environmental protection examination and acceptance for a construction project that it finished. As a result, the environmental protection authority has the right to request XDLong China to rectify such non-compliance by applying for an environmental protection examination and acceptance within a specified period of time. If XDLong China fails to obtain an environmental protection examination and acceptance within the specified period of time, XDLong may be subject to a fine up to RMB50,000 or be ordered to suspend its operations.

Windrace recorded net current liabilities at December 31, 2006 and 2007 and there can be no assurance that Windrace will not experience net current liabilities again in the future.

Windrace had a net current liabilities position of approximately RMB43.2 million, and RMB0.4 million at December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2007, respectively, primarily due to outstanding advances from Mr. Lin Shuipan, an executive Director, of approximately RMB82.5 million and RMB82.5 million in 2006 and 2007. These advances from Mr. Lin mainly served as short term funds to support the expansion of Windrace’s footwear production facilities and the construction of its office building in Jinjiang. As of June 30, 2009, Windrace had a net asset position of approximately RMB135.5 million. However, there can be no assurance that Windrace will not experience periods of net current liabilities in the future. In the event that Windrace has net current liabilities in the future, its working capital for the purposes of its operations may be constrained.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Difficulties in obtaining new credit facilities or acceleration of payments under existing credit facilities could have an adverse effect on Windrace’s liquidity.

Under the current economic situation, banks and other financial institutions have tightened lending to businesses. As a result, businesses have difficulties in obtaining credit at commercially acceptable terms, or at all. While Windrace obtained a new bank borrowing of RMB90.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2009, there can be no assurance that Windrace will continue to be able to obtain additional funding when the need arises if current economic situation persists. If Windrace is unable to obtain new credit facilities and is unable to finance its liquidity or working capital requirements through cash flows from operating activities or other sources, its financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

In addition, certain existing credit facilities of Windrace require consent from lenders in advance of a material change of ownership or change of business operations, including restructuring, mergers and acquisitions. As of June 30, 2009, an aggregate outstanding amount of RMB83.0 million of Windrace’s outstanding loans require such consent. Jingtian & Gongcheng, Windrace’s PRC counsel, is of the opinion that these loan agreements require consent for transactions that occur in the PRC. Therefore, offshore transactions such as the Acquisition should not require consents from the banks. In the event that the banks are of a different opinion and consider the Acquisition constitutes a material change of ownership or change of business operations and therefore require consents in advance of such changes, Windrace could be deemed as in breach of these agreements for not having obtained such consents in advance of relevant changes. If the banks accelerate its payment obligations under these agreements, Windrace’s liquidity could be adversely affected.

Windrace relied on loans from Mr. Lin Shuipan, an executive Director, in 2006, 2007 and 2008 and the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2009 for its expansion and the cessation of such shareholder support may affect its cash flows.

Windrace had advances from Mr. Lin Shuipan, an executive Director, in the amount of approximately RMB82.5 million, RMB82.5 million, RMB0.9 million, nil and RMB3.6 million in 2006, 2007 and 2008 and the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2009. These advances mainly served as short term funds to support the expansion of Windrace’s footwear production facilities and the construction of its office building in Jinjiang. In the event that Windrace fails to generate sufficient cash flows from its operations or obtain alternative financing to meet the operating expenditure of Windrace in the future, its working capital will be constrained.

Windrace’s risk management and internal control systems improvements may not be adequate or effective, which could adversely affect its business, financial condition and results of operations.

Windrace has established risk management and internal control systems consisting of relevant organizational framework, policies, procedures and risk management methods that it believes are appropriate for its business operations, and it seeks to continue to improve such risk management and internal control systems from time to time. However, due to the inherent limitations in the design and implementation of risk management and internal control systems, there can be no assurance that Windrace’s risk management and internal control systems will be sufficiently effective in identifying and preventing all such risks.

In addition, as some of its risk management and internal control policies and procedures are relatively new, Windrace may need to establish and implement additional risk management and internal control policies and procedures to further improve its systems from time to time. Windrace’s risk management and internal control systems also depend on their implementation by its employees, there can be no assurance that such implementation will not involve any human errors or mistakes. If Windrace fails to timely adapt and implement its risk management and internal control policies and procedures, its business, results of operations and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.

Risks Relating to the Industry in Which Windrace Operates

Windrace’s products face intense competition, and Windrace may not have the resources necessary to compete with its competitors.

Windrace is a sports and leisure footwear, apparel and accessories company. This industry is highly competitive in the PRC and the competitors in this market include both international and domestic companies. Some of Windrace’s competitors may have greater financial, research and development and design, marketing,

40


 
 

TABLE OF CONTENTS

distribution, management or other resources. Windrace’s results of operations could be affected by a number of competitive factors, including entry by new competitors into its current markets, expansion by existing competitors, better marketing/advertising leading to stronger brand equity for the competitors, and competition with other companies for the production capacity of contract manufacturers. Windrace’s results of operations and market position may be adversely impacted by these competitive pressures.

There can be no assurance that Windrace’s strategies will remain competitive or that Windrace will continue to be successful in the future. Increased competition could result in a loss of market share for Windrace. In particular, if its competitors adopt aggressive pricing policies, Windrace may be forced to adjust the pricing of their products to level their competitiveness. This could adversely affect Windrace’s profitability and financial results.

Windrace may not be able to predict or meet consumer preferences or demand accurately.

Windrace derives a significant amount of revenue from the sale of sports and leisurewear products that are subject to rapidly changing consumer preferences. Windrace’s sales and profits are sensitive to these changing preferences and its success depends on its ability to identify, originate and define product and fashion trends as well as to anticipate, gauge and react to changing consumer demands in a timely manner. All of Windrace’s products are subject to changing consumer preferences that it cannot predict with certainty. Windrace’s new products may not receive consumer acceptance as consumer preferences could shift rapidly to different types of performance or other sports footwear or apparel or away from these types of products altogether, and Windrace’s future success depends in part on its ability to anticipate and respond to these changes. If Windrace fails to anticipate accurately and respond to trends and shifts in consumer preferences by adjusting the mix of existing product offerings, developing new products, designs and styles, or influencing sports and fitness preferences through vigorous marketing, it could experience lower sales, excess inventories and lower profit margins, any of which could have an adverse effect on its results of operations and financial condition.

Consolidation of distributors or concentration of retail market share among a few distributors may increase and concentrate Windrace’s credit risk and impair its ability to sell its products.

The sports and leisure footwear, apparel, and accessories retail markets in the PRC are dominated by a few large sports and leisure footwear, apparel, and accessories distributors with many stores. These significant distributors may increase their market share by expanding through acquisitions or through the establishment of additional stores. The consolidation of distributors concentrates Windrace’s credit risk in a relatively small number of distributors and, if any of these retailers were to experience a shortage of liquidity, it would increase the risk of nonpayment of their outstanding payables to Windrace. In addition, any shifting concentration of market share to a small number of distributors in a particular county or region increases operational risks. If any one of them substantially reduces their purchases of Windrace’s products, Windrace may be unable to find a sufficient number of other retail stores for its products to sustain the same level of sales and revenues. Further, the consolidation of distributors could limit Windrace’s ability to negotiate contract terms in its favor. For example, due to a small number of distributors existing in the industry to whom Windrace can sell its products, Windrace’s ability to sell its products at the price level that it wishes to may be adversely affected. If the selling prices to the distributors decrease, Windrace’s profitability would be adversely affected.

Risks Relating to the PRC

All of Windrace’s business and its assets are located in the PRC. Accordingly, its results of operations, financial condition and prospects are subject, to a significant degree, to economic, political and legal developments in the PRC.

Windrace’s future performance is dependent on the PRC economy and, in particular, the level of growth of the PRC consumer market.

Windrace derives all of its revenue from sales of its products in the PRC. The success of its business depends on the condition and growth of the PRC consumer market, which in turn depends on macro-economic conditions and individual income levels in the PRC. There is no assurance that projected growth rates of the PRC economy and the PRC consumer market will be realized under current economic situation. Any future

41


 
 

TABLE OF CONTENTS

slowdowns or declines in the PRC economy or consumer spending may adversely affect Windrace’s business, operating results and financial condition. We believe that consumer spending habits may be adversely affected during a period of recession in the economy or that uncertainties regarding future economic prospects could also affect consumer spending habits, all of which may have an adverse effect on certain enterprises operating within the consumer and retail sectors, including Windrace. The consumer and retail market may be affected by the changing operating conditions in the PRC. With accession of the PRC to the World Trade Organization (the “WTO”), changes and developments in the consumer and retail market may be volatile and unpredictable. For instance, the reduction in tariffs on foreign products after the liberalization of the PRC market and further entry of international brands may intensify the competition in the PRC market. This may have a material adverse impact on Windrace’s business, operating results and financial condition.

Political, economic and social policies of the PRC government and PRC laws and regulations could affect Windrace’s business and results of operations and may result in its inability to sustain its growth.

The economy of the PRC differs from the economies of most developed countries in a number of respects, including:

its structure;
level of government involvement;
level of development;
level of capital reinvestment;
control of capital reinvestment;
control of foreign exchange; and
allocation of resources.

Before its adoption of reform and open door policies beginning in 1978, China was primarily a planned economy. Since then, the PRC government has been reforming the PRC’s economic system, and has also begun reforming the government structure in recent years. These reforms have resulted in significant economic growth and social progress. Although the PRC government still owns a significant portion of the productive assets in the PRC, economic reform policies since the late 1970s have emphasized autonomous enterprises and the utilization of market mechanisms, especially where these policies apply to privately-owned businesses such as Windrace. Although we believe these reforms will have a positive effect on Windrace’s overall and long-term development, we cannot predict whether changes in the PRC’s political, economic and social conditions, laws, regulations and policies will have an adverse impact on Windrace’s current or future business, results of operations or financial condition.

Windrace’s ability to continue to expand its business is dependent on a number of factors, including general economic and capital market conditions, and credit availability from banks or other lenders. In the past few years, the PRC government has articulated a need to control the rate of economic growth and may tighten its monetary policies, including increasing interest rates on bank loans and deposits and tightening the money supply to control growth in lending. Under current economic situation, financial institutions have tightened their lending. Stricter lending policies may, among other things, affect Windrace’s ability to obtain financing, which may, in turn, adversely affect its growth and financial condition.

As Windrace conducts a significant portion of its business through its subsidiaries in China, Windrace is subject to PRC laws and regulations on labor and employee benefits. In recent years, the PRC government has implemented policies to strengthen the protection of employees and obligate employers to provide more benefits to their employees. In addition, an employment contract law came into effect in China on January 1, 2008. The PRC employment contract law and related legislations require more benefits to be provided to employees, such as an increase in pay or compensation for termination of employment contracts. As a result, Windrace expects to incur higher labor costs, which could have an adverse impact on its current or future business, results of operations or financial condition. Additional changes in the PRC’s political, economic and social conditions, laws, regulations and policies could have an adverse effect on Windrace’s business, results of operations or financial condition.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The approval of the China Securities Regulatory Commission may be required in connection with this Acquisition under a recently adopted PRC regulation, and, if required, Windrace cannot currently predict whether it will be able to obtain such approval.

On August 8, 2006, six PRC regulatory agencies, including the China Securities Regulatory Commission, or “CSRC,” promulgated the Regulation on Mergers and Acquisitions of Domestic Companies by Foreign Investors, which became effective on September 8, 2006. This regulation, among other things, has certain provisions that purport to require offshore special purpose vehicles formed for overseas listing purposes and directly or indirectly controlled by PRC individuals or companies to obtain approval from the CSRC prior to listing their securities on an overseas stock exchange. The application of this new PRC regulation remains unclear with no consensus currently existing among the leading PRC law firms regarding the scope and applicability of the CSRC approval requirement. On September 21, 2006, the CSRC published on its official website a notice specifying the documents and materials that are required to be submitted for obtaining CSRC approval. Since the regulation was promulgated, the PRC government has not issued the implementing rules, and there may be some uncertainties as to how this regulation will be interpreted or implemented. If the CSRC or another PRC regulatory agency subsequently determines that the CSRC approval is required for this Acquisition, Windrace may face sanctions by the CSRC or other PRC regulatory agencies. If this happens, these regulatory agencies may impose fines and penalties on Windrace’s operations in the PRC, limit its operating privileges in the PRC, delay or restrict the repatriation of the proceeds from this Acquisition into the PRC, restrict or prohibit payment or remittance of dividends by its PRC subsidiaries, or take other actions that could have a material adverse effect on its current or future business, results of operations or financial condition, reputation and prospects. The CSRC or other PRC regulatory agencies may also take actions requiring or advising Windrace to halt this Acquisition.

The regulation also established additional procedures and requirements that could make merger and acquisition activities by foreign investors in China more time-consuming and complex, including requirements in some instances that the Ministry of Commerce be notified in advance of any change-of-control transaction in which a foreign investor takes control of a PRC domestic enterprise. Compliance with the requirements of the regulation to complete such transactions could be time-consuming, and any required approval processes, including obtaining approval from the Ministry of Commerce, may delay or inhibit Windrace’s ability to complete such transactions, which could affect its ability to expand business.

Failure to comply with the State Administration of Foreign Exchange regulations relating to registration of interests before the establishment of offshore special purpose companies by Windrace’s beneficial owners may adversely affect Windrace’s business operations.

On October 21, 2005, the State Administration of Foreign Exchange issued a public notice which became effective on November 1, 2005. The notice requires PRC residents to register with the local State Administration of Foreign Exchange branch before establishing or controlling any company, referred to in the notice as an “offshore special purpose company,” outside of the PRC for the purpose of capital financing (the “No. 75 SAFE Initial Registration”). Besides that, an alteration registration shall be filed after completing an investment in or acquisition of any operating subsidiaries in the PRC, which we refer to herein as a “round-trip investment,” and any change of shareholding or any other material capital alteration in such offshore special purpose company involving a round-trip investment shall also be filed within 30 days from the date of shareholding transfer or capital alteration, and the registration conducted under the above two situations is defined as the “No. 75 SAFE Alteration Registration.”

Mr. Lin Shuipan, Mr. Shi Jinlei and Ms. Chen Shuli are subject to the registration requirements under the No. 75 SAFE Notice, and have conducted the No. 75 SAFE Initial Registration with the Fujian Provincial State Administration of Foreign Exchange. After the offshore special purpose companies were established by the aforementioned persons, some round-trip investments by, and change of shareholders or other material capital alteration in, such offshore special purpose companies occurred, and Mr. Lin Shuipan, Mr. Shi Jinlei and Ms Chen are subject to the No. 75 Alteration Registration for the above events.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Windrace’s PRC beneficial owners must comply with these requirements in connection with Windrace’s future investments and financing activities. If its PRC beneficial owners fail to comply with the relevant requirements, such failure may subject the beneficial owners to fines and legal sanctions, which may adversely affect Windrace’s business operations.

Windrace’s revenues are denominated in Renminbi, which is not freely convertible for capital account transactions and may be subject to exchange rate volatility.

Windrace is exposed to the risks associated with foreign exchange controls and restrictions in China, as its revenues are denominated in Renminbi, which is currently not freely exchangeable. The PRC government imposes control over the convertibility of Renminbi into foreign currencies. Under the rules promulgated under the PRC foreign exchange regulations, payments of current account items, including profit distributions, interest payments and operation-related expenditures, may be made in foreign currencies without prior approval but are subject to procedural requirements. Strict foreign exchange control continues to apply to capital account transactions. These transactions must be approved by or registered with the PRC State Administration of Foreign Exchange and repayment of loan principal, distribution of return on direct capital investment and investments in negotiable instruments are also subject to restrictions. There can be no assurance that Windrace will be able to meet all of its foreign currency obligations or to remit profits out of China.

Fluctuation in the value of the Renminbi and of the U.S. dollar may have a material adverse effect on your investment.

Any significant revaluation of the Renminbi may have a material adverse effect on Windrace’s revenues and financial condition as well as on the value of, and any dividends payable on, its ordinary shares in foreign currency terms. For instance, a decline in the value of Renminbi against the U.S. dollar could reduce the U.S. dollar equivalent amounts of Windrace’s financial results, the value of your investment in Windrace and the dividends Windrace may pay in the future, if any.

There remains significant international pressure on the PRC government to further liberalize its currency policy, which could result in a further and more significant appreciation in the value of the Renminbi against the U.S. dollar. The Renminbi may be revalued further against the U.S. dollar or other currencies, or may be permitted to enter into a full or limited free float, which may result in an appreciation or depreciation in the value of the Renminbi against the U.S. dollar or other currencies.

Windrace relies principally on dividends paid by its subsidiaries to fund any cash and financing requirements it may have, and any limitation on the ability of its PRC subsidiaries to pay dividends to it could have a material adverse effect on its ability to conduct its business.

Windrace is a holding company incorporated in Cayman Islands and relies principally on dividends paid by its subsidiaries for cash requirements, including the funds necessary to service any debt it may incur. If any of Windrace’s subsidiaries incurs debt in its own name in the future, the instruments governing the debt may restrict dividends or other distributions on its equity interest to Windrace.

Furthermore, applicable PRC laws, rules and regulations permit payment of dividends by Windrace’s consolidated PRC entities only out of their retained earnings, if any, determined in accordance with PRC accounting standards which differ in many aspects from generally accepted accounting principles in other jurisdictions including IFRS. Based on PRC accounting standards, Windrace’s consolidated PRC entities are also required to set aside a certain percentage of their after-tax profit each year to their reserve fund in accordance with the requirements of relevant laws and provisions in their respective articles of associations, which are not available for distribution as cash dividends. As a result, Windrace’s consolidated PRC entities are restricted in their ability to transfer a portion of their net income to it whether in the form of dividends, loans or advances. Any limitation on the ability of Windrace’s subsidiaries to pay dividends to it could materially adversely limit its ability to grow, make investments or acquisitions that could be beneficial to its businesses, pay dividends or otherwise fund and conduct its business. Under the new PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law and implementation regulations issued by the State Council, PRC income tax at the rate of 10%, unless relevant treaties provide for a lower rate, is applicable to dividends paid by enterprises incorporated in the PRC to “non-resident enterprises” (enterprises that do not have an establishment or place of business in the PRC,

44


 
 

TABLE OF CONTENTS

or that have such establishment or place of business but the relevant income is not effectively connected with the establishment or place of business) subject to the application of any relevant income tax treaty that the PRC has entered into. If Windrace or its non-PRC incorporated subsidiaries are considered “nonresident enterprises,” any dividend that Windrace or any such subsidiary receives from Windrace’s PRC subsidiaries may be subject to PRC taxation at the 10% rate (or lower treaty rate).

Any changes in PRC policies on enterprise income tax may adversely affect Windrace’s ability in paying dividends and financial condition.

Windrace’s subsidiaries are incorporated in the PRC, Hong Kong or the British Virgin Islands. On March 16, 2007, the new PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law (the “new tax law”) was issued and on December 6, 2007, the Rules on the Implementation of Enterprise Income Tax Law of the PRC (“Implementation Rules”) were issued, both of which became effective on January 1, 2008. Under the new tax law, non-PRC tax resident enterprises will be taxed at a withholding tax rate of 5% for Hong Kong companies and 10% for British Virgin Islands companies. If an entity is deemed to be a PRC tax resident enterprise, which is an enterprise that is set up under PRC law within the territory of the PRC, or set up under the law of a foreign country or region but which has “de facto management organization” within the PRC, then qualified dividend and profit distribution from equity investment between them shall be exempted from withholding tax and income tax. Among other things, qualified dividend and profit distribution as stated in the new tax law shall refer to investment income derived by a PRC tax resident enterprise from the direct investment in other PRC tax resident enterprises, which shall exclude investment income from circulating stock issued publicly by PRC tax resident enterprises and traded on stock exchanges where the holding period is less than 12 months.

Windrace’s subsidiaries may trigger withholding tax requirements in the future under the new tax law and the Implementation Rules, depending on their classification as a PRC or non-PRC tax resident enterprise. The new tax law provides that if an enterprise incorporated outside of the PRC has “de facto management organization” within the PRC, it may be recognized as a PRC tax resident enterprise and may be subject to a 25% enterprise income tax on its worldwide income. According to the Implementation Rules, “de facto management organization” means the institution which materially and comprehensively manages and controls the enterprise’s business, personnel, finance and assets. Given the short history of the tax law and the Implementation Rules, how an enterprise qualifies for tax exemptions remains unclear. Windrace’s ability in paying dividends and financial condition may be adversely affected as a result of the new tax law and other changes in PRC policies and regulations on dividend distributions, withholding tax, and enterprise income tax.

All of Windrace’s management is currently substantially based in the PRC, and may remain in the PRC after the new tax law takes effect. Therefore, Windrace may be treated as a PRC resident enterprise for new tax law purposes. The tax consequences of such treatment are currently unclear as they will depend on the implementation regulations and on how local tax authorities apply or enforce the new tax law or the implementation regulations.

The levy and collection of enterprise income tax in China are handled by various local governments which in turn submit such tax revenues to their respective higher administrative authorities. Each local government has its own administrative practice with regard to the manner and the amount of tax submitted by the local government to its higher administrative authorities. PRC enterprises, including Windrace, have no participation in or control over such administrative practices. Any discrepancies in implementation among the local governments of such administrative practice may result in uncertainties over the amount of tax for which a PRC enterprise is liable.

An outbreak of the H1N1 swine flu, H5N1 strain of bird flu (Avian Flu), Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) or any other similar epidemic may, directly or indirectly, adversely affect Windrace’s operating results.

The recent outbreak of the H1N1 swine flu in North America and Europe has caused governments to take measures to prevent spread of the virus. In addition, there have been reports of swine flu cases in Asia. If the H1N1 virus further spreads in Asia, including China, epidemic could negatively affect the Asian economy. Past occurrences of epidemics have caused different degrees of damage to the national and local economies in China. China encountered epidemics such as SARS and incidents of the Avian Flu, which is spread through

poultry populations, and is capable in certain circumstances of being transmitted to humans causing death. If any of Windrace’s employees are identified as a possible source of spreading the swine flu, the Avian Flu or any other similar epidemic, Windrace may be required to quarantine employees that are suspected of being infected, as well as others that have come into contact with those employees. Windrace may also be required to disinfect its affected premises, which could cause a temporary suspension of its manufacturing capacity, thus adversely affecting its operations. An outbreak of swine flu or a recurrence of an outbreak of SARS, Avian Flu or any other similar epidemic could restrict the level of economic activities generally and/or slow down or disrupt Windrace’s business activities which could in turn adversely affect its results of operations.

Power shortages in the PRC may disrupt Windrace’s business.

Windrace’s manufacturing processes consume substantial amounts of electricity supplied by local power grids. Certain cities in the PRC have experienced power shortages in the past or been subjected to restrictions in electricity consumption. A power shortage could affect or delay Windrace’s production schedule. Windrace maintains backup power generators to provide electricity to its machinery and equipment in case of electricity supply interruptions. However, there is no assurance that Windrace will always have adequate supply of electricity to meet its production requirements and its results of operations may be adversely affected in the event of any material interruption in electricity supply. An extended interruption in the power supply may also affect the operations of the Xidelong retail stores and result in a decrease in revenue.

2020 has not had operations, and Windrace has not operated as a public company. Fulfilling the combined company’s obligations incident to being a public company after completing the Acquisition will be expensive and time consuming.

Each of 2020, as a company without operations, and Windrace, as a private company, have maintained relatively small finance and accounting staffs. Neither 2020 nor Windrace currently has an internal audit group. Although 2020 has maintained disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting as required under the Federal securities laws with respect to its very limited activities, it has not been required to maintain and establish these disclosure controls and procedures and internal control as will be required with respect to businesses such as Windrace with substantial operations. Under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the related rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, the combined company will need to implement additional corporate governance practices and adhere to a variety of reporting requirements and complex accounting rules. Compliance with these obligations will require significant management time, place significant additional demands on the combined company’s finance and accounting staff and on its financial, accounting and information systems, and increase its insurance, legal and financial compliance costs. The combined company may also need to hire additional accounting and financial staff with appropriate public company experience and technical accounting knowledge.

Risks Relating to the Acquisition

The officers and directors of 2020, and entities affiliated with them, control a substantial interest in 2020 and thus may influence certain actions requiring stockholder vote.

The officers and directors of 2020, and entities controlled by them, collectively own approximately 18% of 2020’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock. They may vote these shares on any corporate action, other than the Acquisition Proposal, in any manner each of them chooses. They may influence actions requiring a stockholder vote, including the Redomestication Proposal.

If 2020 is unable to effect a business combination and is forced to liquidate, its warrants will expire worthless.

If 2020 does not complete the Acquisition or another business combination by November 8, 2009, its corporate existence will automatically terminate and it will distribute to all Public Shareholders, in proportion to the number of shares held by them, an aggregate sum equal to the amount in the trust fund, inclusive of any interest, plus any remaining net assets. In such event, there will be no distribution with respect to 2020’s outstanding warrants. Accordingly, the warrants will expire worthless.

2020’s stockholders may be held liable for claims by third parties against 2020 to the extent of distributions received by them.

2020’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that 2020 will continue in existence only until November 8, 2009. If 2020 has not completed a business combination by such date and amended this provision in connection thereto, pursuant to the Delaware General Corporation Law, its corporate existence will cease except for the purposes of winding up its affairs and liquidating. Under Sections 280 through 282 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, stockholders may be held liable for claims by third parties against a corporation to the extent of distributions received by the stockholders in a dissolution. If the corporation complies with certain procedures set forth in Section 280 of the Delaware General Corporation Law intended to ensure that it makes reasonable provision for all claims against it, 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. However, to the extent it is required to do so, it is 2020’s intention to make liquidating distributions to its stockholders as soon as reasonably possible after November 8, 2009 and, therefore, it does not intend to comply with those procedures.

Because 2020 does not intend to comply with those procedures, it is required, pursuant to Section 281 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, to adopt a plan that will provide for payment, based on facts known to it at such time, of (i) all existing claims, (ii) all pending claims and (iii) all claims that may be potentially brought against it within the subsequent 10 years. Accordingly, 2020 would be required to provide for any creditors known to it at that time or those that it believes could be potentially brought against it within the subsequent 10 years prior to distributing the funds held in the trust to stockholders. there can be no assurance that it will properly assess all claims that may be potentially brought against it. As such, 2020’s stockholders could potentially be liable for any claims to the extent of distributions received by them and any liability of 2020’s stockholders may extend well beyond the third anniversary of such date. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that third parties will not seek to recover from 2020’s stockholders amounts owed to them by 2020.

If 2020 is forced to file a bankruptcy case or an involuntary bankruptcy case is filed against it and not dismissed, any distributions received by stockholders could be viewed under applicable debtor/creditor 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 2020’s stockholders. Furthermore, because 2020 intends to distribute the proceeds held in the trust fund to its public stockholders promptly after November 8, 2009 if it has not completed a business combination by such date, this may be viewed or interpreted as giving preference to 2020’s public stockholders over any potential creditors with respect to access to or distributions from 2020’s assets. Furthermore, 2020’s board may be viewed as having breached its fiduciary duties to 2020’s creditors or may have acted in bad faith; thereby exposing itself and 2020 to claims of punitive damages, by paying public stockholders from the trust fund prior to addressing the claims of creditors. There can be no assurance that claims will not be brought against 2020 for these reasons.

You will not be able to exercise your warrants if an effective registration statement is not in place when you desire to do so.

No warrants will be exercisable and Exceed will not be obligated to issue the shares of stock underlying the warrants unless, at the time a holder seeks to exercise such public warrant, a registration statement covering the issuance is effective and a prospectus relating to the common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrant is current. Under the terms of the warrant agreement, Exceed will be required to use its best efforts to maintain an effective registration statement and a current prospectus relating to the ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants until the expiration of the warrants. However, there can be no assurance that Exceed will be able to do so, and if it does not maintain a current prospectus related to the shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants, holders will be unable to exercise their warrants. Additionally, Exceed will have no obligation to settle the warrants for cash or “net cash settle” any warrant exercise. Accordingly, if the prospectus relating to the common stock issuable upon the exercise of the warrants is not current, the warrants may have no value, the market for the warrants may be limited and the warrants may expire worthless. If the warrants expire worthless, this would mean that a person who paid $8.00 for a unit in 2020’s IPO and who did not sell the warrant included in the unit would have effectively paid $8.00 for one Exceed ordinary share.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The working capital available to Exceed following the Acquisition and the Redomestication will be reduced if 2020’s stockholders exercise their right to convert their shares into cash, which may adversely affect Exceed’s business and future operations.

Pursuant to 2020’s certificate of incorporation, public stockholders may vote against the Acquisition Proposal and demand that it convert their shares, calculated as of two business days prior to the anticipated consummation of the Acquisition, into a pro rata share of the trust account where a substantial portion of the net proceeds of the IPO are held. 2020 and Exceed will not consummate the Acquisition if holders of 2,587,500 or more Public Shares exercise these conversion rights. If no holders elect to convert their Public Shares, the trust account will be approximately $68.1 million at closing. To the extent the Acquisition is consummated and holders have demanded to convert their shares, there will be a corresponding reduction in the amount of funds available to Exceed. If conversion rights are exercised with respect to 2,587,499 shares, the maximum potential conversion cost would be approximately $20.4 million.

2020’s outstanding warrants may be exercised in the future for shares of Exceed ordinary shares, which would increase the number of shares eligible for future resale in the public market and result in dilution of our stockholders.

Outstanding redeemable warrants to purchase an aggregate of 8,625,000 shares of 2020’s common stock, which will convert into the right to purchase the same number of ordinary shares of Exceed upon consummation of the Redomestication (issued in exchange for 2020 warrants included in the units issued in the IPO), warrants to purchase an aggregate of 2,265,000 ordinary shares (issued in exchange for 2020 warrants issued to certain of the 2020 Inside Stockholders and others in a private placement concurrently with the IPO) and warrants to purchase 550,000 shares of 2020’s common stock, which will convert into the right to purchase the same number of ordinary shares of Exceed upon the Redomestication (issuable upon the exercise of the underwriter’s Unit Purchase Option) will become exercisable after the consummation of the Acquisition. These warrants likely will be exercised only if the $5.25 per share exercise price is below the market price of Exceed’s ordinary shares. To the extent such warrants or options are exercised, additional shares of Exceed’s ordinary shares will be issued, which will result in dilution to Exceed’s stockholders and increase the number of shares eligible for resale in the public market. Sales of substantial numbers of such shares in the public market could adversely affect the market price of Exceed’s ordinary shares.

Additional issuances and future sales of our securities, or the perception in the markets that these sales may occur, could depress our stock price.

An aggregate of between 9,708,030 and 12,400,245 ordinary shares of Exceed will be released to the Sellers out of escrow in stages if certain earnings targets for fiscal years 2009, 2010 and 2011 are satisfied and an additional 2,212,789 ordinary shares of Exceed will be newly issuable to the Sellers if certain earnings targets for fiscal year 2011 are satisfied. Up to an additional 329,816 ordinary shares of Exceed may be issued to Windtech and Wisetech within six months following the closing of the Acquisition if certain criteria are met. To the extent that all or a portion of such shares is released or newly issued, this would result in dilution to Exceed’s stockholders other than the Sellers or, as applicable, Windtech and Wisetech and increase the number of shares eligible for resale in the public market. In addition, contractual restrictions on transfer with respect to 1,875,000 Exceed ordinary shares that will be held by 2020’s officers and directors and their affiliates will terminate six months after the closing of the Acquisition. In addition, the holders of the shares issued to 2020’s officers and directors and their affiliates, the Sellers and Windtech and Wisetech are entitled to registration rights with respect to such shares. Sales of substantial numbers of such shares in the public market could adversely affect the market price of Exceed’s ordinary shares.

If 2020’s stockholders fail to vote against the Acquisition Proposal and fail to deliver their shares in accordance with the conversion requirements specified in this proxy statement/prospectus, they will not be entitled to convert their shares of common stock of 2020 into a pro rata portion of the trust account.

2020’s stockholders holding Public Shares who affirmatively vote against the Acquisition Proposal may demand that 2020 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 Acquisition. 2020’s stockholders who seek to exercise this conversion right must affirmatively vote against the Acquisition and deliver their stock (either physically

48

or electronically) to 2020’s transfer agent within the time period described in this proxy statement/prospectus. Any 2020 stockholder who fails to vote against the Acquisition Proposal and who fails to deliver his or her stock will not be entitled to convert his or her shares into a pro rata portion of the trust account for conversion of his or her shares. See “2020’s Special Meeting — Conversion Rights” for the procedures to be followed if you wish to convert your shares to cash.

Exceed’s securities may not be listed on a national security exchange, which could limit investors’ ability to make transactions in Exceed’s securities and subject Exceed to additional trading restrictions.

Exceed is seeking listing of its securities on the NASDAQ Capital Market to take effect as soon as practicable after the consummation of the Acquisition and the Redomestication. Exceed will be required to meet initial listing requirements of the NASDAQ Global Market as opposed to its more lenient continued listing requirements. Exceed may not be able to meet those initial listing requirements. Even if such application is accepted and Exceed’s securities are so listed, Exceed may be unable to maintain the listing of its securities on the exchange in the future.

If the NASDAQ Global Market does not list Exceed’s securities for trading on its exchange, or if Exceed is unable to obtain a listing on another exchange, Exceed could face significant material adverse consequences, including:

a limited availability of market quotations for its securities;
reduced liquidity with respect to its securities;
a determination that its ordinary shares are “penny stock,” which will require brokers trading in its ordinary shares to adhere to more stringent rules, possibly resulting in a reduced level of trading activity in the secondary trading market for the ordinary shares;
a limited amount of news and analyst coverage for Exceed; and
a decreased ability to issue additional securities or obtain additional financing in the future.

2020’s current directors and executive officers own shares of 2020 common stock and warrants that will be worthless if the Acquisition is not approved and have loaned money to 2020 through an affiliate. Such interests may have influenced their decision to approve the Acquisition of Windrace.

Certain of 2020’s officers, directors and their affiliates beneficially own stock in 2020 that they purchased prior to its IPO. Additionally, certain of such persons and others beneficially own 2,265,000 Insider Warrants purchased in a private placement that occurred simultaneously with 2020’s IPO. Such persons are not entitled to receive any of the cash proceeds that may be distributed upon 2020’s liquidation with respect to shares they acquired prior to its IPO. In addition, 2020 International Capital Group Limited, a Cayman Islands company in which certain of our officers and directors collectively own an 80% beneficial interest has lent 2020 an aggregate of $700,000. Therefore, if the Acquisition is not approved and 2020 does not consummate another business combination by November 8, 2009 and is forced to liquidate, such shares held by such persons will be worthless, as will the warrants, and 2020 will likely be unable to repay the loans. As of October 2, 2009, the record date for the special meeting, 2020’s officers, directors and initial shareholders held $14.9 million in common stock (based on a market price of $7.95) and $2.9 million in warrants (based on a market price of $1.29. See “2020’s Special Meeting — Interests of 2020’s Directors and Officers and Others in the Acquisition and the Redomestication.

These financial interests of 2020’s directors and officers may have influenced their decision to approve 2020’s acquisition of Windrace and to continue to pursue the Acquisition. In considering the recommendations of 2020’s board of directors to vote for the Acquisition Proposal and other proposals, you should consider these interests.

Dr. Jianming Yu, one of 2020’s directors and an indirect stockholder of 2020 through his ownership interest in certain 2020 stockholders, holds shares representing 1.2% of Wisetech and 2% of Windtech through NH Partners and NH Partners III, respectively, on behalf of the senior management team of New Horizon Capital, excluding himself, and Dr. Yu does not receive any economic benefit from such arrangement.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Wisetech and Windtech will receive Exceed ordinary shares upon the consummation of the Acquisition pursuant to the NH Investment Agreement. Mr. Yu participated in the deliberations of the Board relating to the initial approval of the Acquisition, which occurred prior to the execution of the NH Investment Agreement. Dr. Yu has agreed to recuse himself from further votes of the 2020 Board relating to the Acquisition and has so recused himself to date. Pursuant to the NH Investment Agreement, if the Acquisition does not close, Windtech and Wisetech will be entitled to receive the amount they have invested in Windrace plus interest at a rate of 10% per annum, payable by Mr. Shuipan Lin, the controlling stockholder of Windrace. You should consider these interests in considering any resulting recommendations by the 2020 Board.

Certain of the officers and directors of 2020 are liable to ensure that proceeds of the trust are not reduced by vendor claims in the event the Acquisition is not consummated. Such liability may have influenced his decision to approve the Acquisition with Exceed.

If 2020 liquidates prior to the consummation of a business combination, Messrs. Lu, Koo and Yu, and certain entities under their control, 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 2020 for services rendered or contracted for or products sold to 2020. On the other hand, if 2020 consummates the Acquisition and the Redomestication, Exceed will be liable for all such claims. Neither 2020 nor the officers and directors has any reason to believe that they will not be able to fulfill their indemnity obligations to 2020. See “2020’s Special Meeting — Interests of 2020’s Directors and Officers and Others in the Acquisition and the Redomestication.

This personal obligation may have influenced the directors’ decision to approve 2020’s acquisition of Windrace and to continue to pursue the Acquisition. In considering the recommendations of 2020’s board of directors to vote for the Acquisition Proposal and other proposals, you should consider these interests.

The exercise of 2020’s directors’ and officers’ discretion in agreeing to changes or waivers in the terms of the Acquisition may result in a conflict of interest when determining whether such changes to the terms of the Acquisition or waivers of conditions are appropriate and in 2020’s stockholders’ best interest.

In the period leading up to the closing of the Acquisition, events may occur that, pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, would require 2020 to agree to amend the Purchase Agreement, to consent to certain actions taken by Windrace or to waive rights that 2020 is entitled to under the Purchase Agreement. Such events could arise because of changes in the course of Windrace’s business, a request by Windrace to undertake actions that would otherwise be prohibited by the terms of the Purchase Agreement or the occurrence of other events that would have a material adverse effect on Windrace’s business and would entitle 2020 to terminate the Purchase Agreement. In any of such circumstances, it would be discretionary on 2020, acting through its board of directors, to grant its consent or waive its 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 may believe is best for 2020 and what he may believe is best for himself in determining whether or not to take the requested action. As of the date of this proxy statement/ prospectus, 2020 does not believe there will be any changes or waivers that its directors and officers would be likely to make after stockholder approval of the Acquisition Proposal has been obtained. While certain changes could be made without further stockholder approval, 2020 will circulate a new or amended proxy statement/prospectus and resolicit its stockholders if changes to the terms of the transaction that would have a material impact on its stockholders are required prior to the stockholder vote on the Acquisition Proposal.

Voting control of the combined company by the Sellers and Windtech and Wisetech following the Acquisition may limit your ability to influence the outcome of director elections and other matters requiring shareholder approval.

Upon consummation of the business combination, the Sellers, who include the chief executive officer of Exceed following the Acquisition, and Windtech and Wisetech will collectively own approximately 51% of Exceed’s voting shares, which percentage could increase upon release of the Escrowed Shares and issuance of the Earn-Out Shares. Of these shares, between 19% and 23% will be beneficially owned by Lin Shuipan, the chief executive officer of Exceed following the Acquisition, and between 17% and 22% will be collectively owned by Windtech and Wisetech. These shareholders can control substantially all matters requiring approval

50


 
 

TABLE OF CONTENTS

by Exceed’s shareholders, including the election of directors and the approval of other business transactions. This concentration of ownership could have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control of Exceed or discouraging a potential acquirer from attempting to obtain control of Exceed, which in turn could have a material adverse effect on the market price of ordinary shares or prevent its shareholders from realizing a premium over the market price for their ordinary shares.

If 2020 is unable to complete the Acquisition of Windrace or another business combination by November 8, 2009, its corporate existence will automatically terminate and, it will be forced to liquidate. In such event, third parties may bring claims against 2020 and, as a result, the proceeds held in trust could be reduced and the per-share liquidation price received by stockholders could be less than $7.90 per share.

2020 must complete the Acquisition or another business combination with the target business by November 8, 2009, when its corporate existence will terminate and it will be required to liquidate if no business combination, including the Acquisition, were consummated by such date. In such event, third parties may bring claims against 2020. Although 2020 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 claim of any kind they may have in 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 trust could be subject to claims which could take priority over those of 2020’s public stockholders. Additionally, if 2020 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 2020’s bankruptcy estate and subject to the claims of third parties with priority over the claims of 2020’s stockholders. To the extent any bankruptcy or other claims deplete the trust account, there can be no assurance that 2020 will be able to return to its public stockholders at least $7.90 per share.

If 2020 is unable to consummate the Acquisition or another business combination with a target company, its public stockholders will be forced to wait until after November 8, 2009 before receiving liquidation distributions.

2020 has until November 8, 2009 to complete an initial business combination. It has no obligation to return funds to its public stockholders prior to such date unless it consummates an initial business combination prior thereto and only then in cases where public stockholders have sought conversion of their shares. Only after the expiration of this full time period will public stockholders be entitled to liquidation distributions if 2020 is unable to complete an initial business combination. Accordingly, public stockholders’ funds may be unavailable to them until such date.

The failure of Windrace to redeem the preferred shares held by Elevatech, an indirectly wholly owned subsidiary of The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc., in accordance with the terms agreed by the parties could have an adverse effect on the Acquisition.

On April 30, 2008, Windrace issued and allotted 2,500 preferred shares representing 2.5% of the issued share capital of Windrace to Elevatech, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc., and Mr. Lin Shuipan and RichWise International Investment Group Limited, or RichWise, transferred an aggregate of 5,500 preferred shares representing 5.5% of the issued share capital of Windrace to Elevatech. Pursuant to a letter agreement dated May 8, 2009 among Windrace, Elevatech, Mr. Lin Shuipan and RichWise, all of the preferred shares will be redeemed upon the consummation of the Acquisition by Windrace in exchange for the issue of a promissory note by Windrace to Elevatech, providing for the payment by Windrace of (i) HK$306.2 million ($39.5 million and RMB272.5 million) as redemption price on the earlier of the fifth business day following the date of issue of the promissory note and October 31, 2009 and (ii) US$1.0 million (RMB 6.9 million) as additional premium on June 30, 2010. The promissory note will constitute Windrace's payment of the full consideration for the redemption of the preferred shares. Following the issuance of the promissory note, the original terms of the preferred shares will be superseded by the terms of this promissory note. Hence, any provisions in the preferred shares, including those concerning the payment of accrued interest at an internal rate of return of 12%, will be of no further effect. Pursuant to the letter

51


 
 

TABLE OF CONTENTS

agreement, Elevatech also consented to Windrace’s entering into the Purchase Agreement and, subject to Windrace’s provision of additional information to Elevatech’s satisfaction, one or more other financing agreements with third-party investors.

If the Acquisition is not consummated by October 31, 2009, the letter agreement will have no further effect. Because the preferred shares cannot be redeemed at Windrace’s option, Elevatech will continue to be a preferred shareholder of Windrace, which may materially affect the successful consummation of the business combination for the following reasons:

Exceed’s control of Windrace will be subject to Elevatech’s rights as a preferred shareholder under the shareholders agreement dated April 30, 2008. The shareholders agreement, among others, will give Elevatech certain pre-emptive rights with respect to Windrace’s issuance of new securities and certain co-sale and pre-emptive rights with respect to Exceed’s transfer of its interests in Windrace.
The interests of the Sellers, 2020’s stockholders and Windtech and Wisetech, if any, through Exceed will be structurally subordinated to the interests of Elevatech.
Elevatech will have the right to require Windrace to redeem the preferred shares if Elevatech holds any preferred shares and Mr. Lin Shuipan or RichWise transfers any shares they hold in Exceed prior to December 31, 2009.

There is no assurance that we will be successful in consummating the Acquisition prior to October 31, 2009. If Elevatech refuses to extend the term of the letter agreement to accommodate a later completion date, the uncertainty relating to the preferred shares held by Elevatech may prevent the completion of the proposed financing transactions by new third-party investors or the business combination altogether.

Activities taken by 2020, 2020’s existing stockholders or Windrace to increase the likelihood of approval of the Acquisition Proposal and other proposals could have a depressive effect on 2020’s stock and/or reduce the availability of operating capital for Exceed.

At any time prior to the special meeting, during a period when they are not then aware of any material nonpublic information regarding 2020 or its securities, 2020, the 2020 Inside Stockholders, Windrace and Windrace’s shareholders and their respective affiliates may purchase shares from institutional and other investors, or execute agreements to purchase such shares from them in the future, or they or 2020 may enter into transactions with such persons and others to provide them with incentives to acquire shares of 2020’s common stock and vote the acquired shares in favor of the Acquisition 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 (in person or represented by proxy) and entitled to vote on the Acquisition Proposal at the meeting vote in its favor and that holders of fewer than 30% of the Public Shares vote against the Acquisition Proposal and 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 2020’s 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. See “2020’s Special Meeting —  2020 Inside Stockholders.” In addition, to the extent that 2020 makes such purchases, it will reduce the amount of money available from the trust account following the Acquisition and Redomestication that may be used by Exceed for working capital.

Because Windrace does not intend to pay dividends on its ordinary shares, stockholders will benefit from an investment in Windrace’s ordinary shares only if those shares appreciate in value.

Windrace has never declared or paid any cash dividends on its shares of common stock. After consummation of the Acquisition and the Redomestication, Windrace currently intends to retain all future earnings, if any, for use in the operations and expansion of the business. As a result, Windrace does not anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Any future determination as to the declaration and payment of cash dividends will be at the discretion of Windrace’s board of directors and will depend on factors Windrace’s board of directors deems relevant, including among others, Windrace’s results of operations, financial condition and cash requirements, business prospects, and the terms of Windrace’s credit facilities, if any, and any

other financing arrangements. Accordingly, realization of a gain on stockholders’ investments will depend on the appreciation of the price of Windrace’s ordinary shares, and there is no guarantee that Windrace’s ordinary shares will appreciate in value.

BVI companies may not be able to initiate shareholder derivative actions, thereby depriving shareholders of the ability to protect their interests.

BVI companies may not have standing to initiate a shareholder derivative action in a federal court of the United States. The circumstances in which any such action may be brought, and the procedures and defenses that may be available with respect to any such action, may result in the rights of shareholders of a BVI company being more limited than those of shareholders of a company organized in the United States. Accordingly, shareholders may have fewer alternatives available to them if they believe that corporate wrongdoing has occurred. The BVI courts are also unlikely to recognize or enforce against Exceed judgments of courts in the United States based on certain liability provisions of U.S. securities law; and to impose liabilities against it, in original actions brought in the British Virgin Islands, based on certain liability provisions of U.S. securities laws that are penal in nature.

Although there is no statutory enforcement in the British Virgin Islands of judgments obtained in the United States, the courts of the British Virgin Islands will recognize a foreign judgment as the basis for a claim at common law in the British Virgin Islands provided:

the U.S. court issuing the judgment had jurisdiction in the matter and the company either submitted to such jurisdiction or was resident or carrying on business within such jurisdiction and was duly served with process;
the judgment given by the U.S. court was not in respect of penalties, taxes, fines or similar fiscal or revenue obligations of the company;
in obtaining judgment there was no fraud on the part of the person in whose favor judgment was given or on the part of the court;
recognition or enforcement of the judgment in the BVI would not be contrary to public policy; and
the proceedings pursuant to which judgment was obtained were not contrary to natural justice.

Under the laws of the British Virgin Islands, there is some statutory provisions for the protection of minority shareholders under the BVI Business Companies Act, 2004 (the “Act”). The principal protection under the Act is that shareholders may bring an action to enforce the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association of Exceed. The Act sets forth the procedure to bring such a claim. Shareholders are entitled to have the affairs of the company conducted in accordance with the general law and the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association. Pursuant to Exceed’s constitutional documents, the company is obliged to hold an annual general meeting and provide for the election of directors. Companies are not obligated to appoint an independent auditor and shareholders are not entitled to receive the audited financial statements of the company.

There are common law rights for the protection of shareholders that m ay be invoked (such rights have also now been given statutory footing under the Act; for further discussion of the rights of minority shareholders, see “2020 Redomestication — Rights of Minority Shareholders” beginning on page 98), largely dependent on English company law, since the common law of the British Virgin Islands for business companies is limited. Under the general rule pursuant to English company law known as the rule in Foss v. Harbottle, a court will generally refuse to interfere with the management of a company at the insistence of a minority of its shareholders who express dissatisfaction with the conduct of the company’s affairs by the majority or the board of directors. However, every shareholder is entitled to have the affairs of the company conducted properly according to law and the constituent documents of the company. As such, if those who control the company have persistently disregarded the requirements of company law or the provisions of the company’s memorandum or articles of association, then the courts will grant relief. Generally, the areas in which the courts will intervene generally include the following, which are more limited than the rights afforded to minority stockholders under the laws of many states in the United States:

53


 
 

TABLE OF CONTENTS

an act complained of which is outside the scope of the authorized business or is illegal or not capable of ratification by the majority;
acts that constitute fraud on the minority where the wrongdoers control the company;
acts that infringe on the personal rights of the shareholders, such as the right to vote; and
where the company has not complied with provisions requiring approval of a special or extraordinary majority of shareholders.

Being a foreign private issuer would exempt us from certain Securities and Exchange Commission requirements that provide stockholders the protection of information that must be made available to stockholders of United States public companies.

Upon consummation of the Acquisition and the Redomestication we may be a foreign private issuer within the meaning of the rules promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. If we qualify as a foreign private issuer, we will be exempt from certain provisions applicable to United States public companies including:

The rules requiring the filing with the SEC of quarterly reports on Form 10-Q or current reports on Form 8-K;
The sections of the Securities Exchange Act regulating the solicitation of proxies, consents or authorizations with respect to a security registered under the Securities Exchange Act;
Provisions of Regulation FD aimed at preventing issuers from making selective disclosures of material information; and
The sections of the Securities Exchange Act requiring insiders to file public reports of their stock ownership and trading activities and establishing insider liability for profits realized from any “short swing” trading transactions (i.e., a purchase and sale, or a sale and purchase, of the issuer’s equity securities within less than six months).

Because of these exemptions, our stockholders would not be afforded the same protections or information generally available to investors holding shares in public companies organized in the United States.

Risks Relating to Tax Matters

There is a risk that Exceed could be treated as a U.S. domestic corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes after the Acquisition and the Redomestication, which could result in U.S. federal income tax liability to Exceed.

Section 7874(b) (“Section 7874(b)”) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, provides that a corporation organized outside the United States which acquires, directly or indirectly, pursuant to a plan or series of related transactions, substantially all of the assets of a corporation organized in the United States will be treated as a domestic corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes if shareholders of the acquired corporation, by reason of owning shares of the acquired corporation, own at least 80% (of either the voting power or the value) of the stock of the acquiring corporation after the acquisition. If Section 7874(b) were to apply to the Redomestication, then Exceed, as the surviving entity, would be subject to U.S. federal income tax on its worldwide taxable income following the Acquisition and the Redomestication as if Exceed were a domestic corporation.

Although it is anticipated that Section 7874(b) should not apply to treat Exceed as a domestic corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, due to the absence of complete guidance on how the rules of Section 7874(b) apply to the transactions contemplated by the Acquisition and the Redomestication, this result is not free from doubt. As a result, stockholders are urged to consult their own tax advisors on this issue. For a more detailed discussion of the foregoing, see “Material United States Federal Income Tax Considerations — U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Redomestication — Tax Consequences to 2020 and Exceed.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

2020 may recognize gain (but not loss) for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of the Redomestication, which may result in increased U.S. federal income tax liability to 2020.

It is anticipated that for U.S. federal income tax purposes, as to each of its assets, 2020 may recognize gain (but not loss) realized as a result of the Redomestication in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the fair market value of such asset over such asset’s adjusted tax basis at the effective time of the Redomestication. Since any such gain will be determined based on the value of its assets at that time, the amount of such gain (and any U.S. federal income tax liability to 2020 by reason of such gain) cannot be determined at this time. Stockholders are urged to consult their own tax advisors on this tax issue and other tax issues in connection with the Redomestication. For a more detailed discussion of the foregoing, see “Material United States Federal Income Tax Considerations — U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Redomestication — Tax Consequences to 2020 and Exceed.

There is a risk that Exceed will be classified as a passive foreign investment company, or “PFIC,” which could result in adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences to U.S. holders of ordinary shares of Exceed.

Exceed may be treated as a PFIC for any taxable year in which either (1) at least 75% of its gross income (looking through certain corporate subsidiaries) is passive income or (2) at least 50% of the average value of its assets (looking through certain corporate subsidiaries) produce, or are held for the production of, passive income. Passive income generally includes dividends, interest, rents, royalties, and gains from the disposition of passive assets. If Exceed were a PFIC for any taxable year during which a U.S. holder held its ordinary shares, the U.S. holder may be subject to increased U.S. federal income tax liability and may be subject to additional reporting requirements. The actual PFIC status of Exceed for any taxable year, however, will not be determinable until after the end of its taxable year, and accordingly there can be no assurance as to the status of Exceed as a PFIC for the current taxable year or any future taxable year. We urge U.S. holders to consult their own tax advisors regarding the possible application of the PFIC rules. For a more detailed discussion of the foregoing, see Material United States Federal Income Tax Considerations — U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders of Ordinary Shares of Exceed — Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules.”

The tax disclosure included as part of this Registration Statement expresses uncertainty as to certain tax issues and does not address all tax issues, including those that are dependent on future facts or events.

Due to the absence of complete guidance as to how the transactions contemplated by the Acquisition and the Redomestication and other transactions discussed in the tax disclosure would be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes, there is a degree of uncertainty as stated in the tax disclosure with respect to the U.S. federal income tax consequences of certain of the tax matters considered therein. Moreover, certain tax matters that are discussed in the tax disclosure are dependent on future facts or events, such as whether Exceed will be classified as a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes following the Redomestication and Acquisition, and as to which no conclusion therefore can be expressed. Finally, no assurance can be given that positions contrary to those discussed in the tax disclosure may not be taken by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) or a court considering the tax issues discussed in the tax disclosure. Accordingly, each stockholder is urged to consult its own tax advisor on the tax issues discussed in the tax disclosure and how they may relate to the holder’s particular circumstances. See Material United States Federal Income Tax Considerations.”

2020’S SPECIAL MEETING

General

2020 is furnishing this proxy statement/prospectus to its stockholders as part of the solicitation of proxies by its board of directors for use at the special meeting of 2020’s stockholders to be held on October 19, 2009, and at any adjournment or postponement thereof. This proxy statement/prospectus is first being furnished to 2020’s stockholders on or about October 5, 2009 in connection with the vote on the Acquisition Proposal, the Redomestication Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal. This proxy statement/prospectus provides you with information you need to know to be able to vote or instruct your vote to be cast at the special meeting.

Date, Time and Place

The special meeting of stockholders will be held on October 19, 2009, at 9:00 a.m., local time, at 131 S. Dearborn St., Chicago, Illinois 60603.

Purpose of 2020’s Special Meeting

At the special meeting, 2020 will ask holders of its common stock to:

(1) consider and vote upon a proposal to approve the Purchase Agreement, which, among other things, provides for the purchase by Exceed of all the issued and outstanding ordinary shares of Windrace from the Sellers — this proposal is referred to as the Acquisition Proposal;
(2) approve the merger of 2020 with and into Exceed, a wholly-owned subsidiary of 2020 formed under the laws of British Virgin Islands for the purposes of redomestication of 2020 from the State of Delaware to the British Virgin Islands as part of the Acquisition — this proposal is referred to as the Redomestication Proposal; and
(3) 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, 2020 is not authorized to consummate the Acquisition and the Redomestication — this proposal is referred to as the Adjournment Proposal.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Interests of 2020’s Directors and Officers and Others in the Acquisition and the Redomestication

When you consider the recommendation of 2020’s board of directors in favor of approval of the Acquisition Proposal and the Redomestication Proposal, you should keep in mind that 2020’s directors and officers have interests in the Acquisition and the Redomestication (to the extent that the Redomestication is a condition to the Acquisition) that are different from, or in addition to, your interests as a stockholder. These interests include, among other things:

If the Acquisition is not consummated by November 7, 2009 or any other business combination is not consummated by November 8, 2009, 2020 will automatically be liquidated. In such event, the 1,875,000 Original Shares held by 2020’s directors and officers that were acquired before the IPO for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000 would be worthless because 2020’s directors and officers are not entitled to receive any of the liquidation proceeds with respect to such shares. Such shares had an aggregate market value of $14.9 million based upon the closing price of $7.95 on the NYSE Amex on October 2, 2009, the record date for 2020’s special meeting.
Entities affiliated with 2020’s officers, directors and special advisors have also purchased 2,265,000 warrants (“Insider Warrants”) to purchase an aggregate of up to 2,265,000 shares of 2020’s common stock, for an aggregate purchase price of $2,265,000 (or $1.00 per warrant) pursuant to agreements with 2020 and Morgan Joseph and entered into in connection with 2020’s IPO. These purchases took place on a private placement basis simultaneously with the consummation of 2020’s IPO. All of the proceeds 2020 received from these purchases were placed in 2020’s trust fund. These Insider Warrants are identical to the warrants underlying 2020’s units, except that if 2020 calls the warrants for redemption, the Insider Warrants will not be redeemable by 2020 so long as they are held by these purchasers or their affiliates. Such warrants had an aggregate market value of $2.9 million, based on the closing price of $1.29 on the NYSE Amex on October 2, 2009, the record date for 2020’s special meeting. All of the warrants will become worthless if the Acquisition is not consummated (as will the remainder of the public warrants).
If 2020 liquidates prior to the consummation of a business combination, 2020’s executive officers, one of its directors, Dr. Jianming Yu and certain entities controlled by our executive officers and Dr. Yu will be personally liable to pay debts and obligations to vendors and other entities that are owed money by 2020 for services rendered or products sold to 2020, or to any target business, to the extent such creditors bring claims that would otherwise require payment from monies in the trust account. Based on 2020’s estimated debts and obligations, it is not currently expected that such persons will have any exposure under this arrangement in the event of a liquidation.
Subsequent to the Board’s initial approval of the Acquisition Proposal, Windtech and Wisetech, for which Dr. Yu serves as one of the managing partners, entered into an investment agreement with Windrace to acquire Exceed ordinary shares upon the consummation of the Acquisition. If the Acquisition does not close, Windtech and Wisetech will be entitled to receive the amount they have invested in Windrace plus interest at a rate of 10% per annum payable by Mr. Shuipan Lin. Dr. Yu did not vote as a 2020 Board member on matters relating to the approval of the transaction with Windtech and Wisetech and the Supplemental Agreement and has agreed to recuse himself from further votes of the 2020 Board relating to the Acquisition.
2020 International Capital Group Limited, a company controlled by the directors and executive officers of 2020, has loaned 2020 $700,000 to cover its expenses in connection with the Acquisition and may make further loans for this purpose in the future. Such loans will be unsecured, non-interest bearing and will be repaid at the closing of the Acquisition. If the Acquisition is not consummated and 2020 is required to liquidate, such loans will not be repaid to 2020 International Capital Group Limited.
The underwriters in 2020’s IPO, including Morgan Joseph, will also be entitled to receive $2,415,000 of deferred underwriting commissions upon consummation of the Acquisition. Morgan Joseph has also entered into an agreement with 2020 to provide certain limited transaction advisory assistance with respect to the Acquisition, including, without limitation, consultations regarding the

57


 
 

TABLE OF CONTENTS

communication of the structure and strategy of the Acquisition with investors, assistance with scheduling road shows and other meetings with investors and the review of any presentations or press releases to be publicly filed with the SEC. Under the agreement, Morgan Joseph will be entitled to receive a fee of $250,000 upon consummation of the Acquisition.

Record Date; Who is Entitled to Vote

2020 has fixed the close of business on October 2, 2009, as the “record date” for determining 2020’s stockholders entitled to notice of and to attend and vote at its special meeting. As of the close of business on October 2, 2009, there were 10,500,000 shares of 2020’s common stock outstanding and entitled to vote. Each share of 2020’s common stock is entitled to one vote per share at the special meeting.

Pursuant to agreements with 2020, the 1,875,000 shares of common stock issued before the initial public offering and held by insiders at 2020 (the “2020 Inside Shareholders”) will be voted on the Acquisition Proposal in accordance with the majority of the votes cast at the special meeting on such proposal by the holders of all of the other outstanding shares of the common stock. The vote of such shares will not affect the outcome of the vote on the Acquisition Proposal.

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 2020 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. Broker “non-votes” will not be treated as shares entitled to vote on the matter as to which authority to vote is withheld from the broker. If you do not give the broker voting instructions, under applicable self-regulatory organization rules, your broker may not vote your shares on “non-routine” proposals, such as the Acquisition and the Redomestication Proposals. Since a stockholder must affirmatively vote against the Acquisition Proposal to have conversion rights, individuals who fail to vote or who abstain from voting on such proposal may not exercise their conversion rights. See the information set forth in “2020’s Special Meeting — Conversion Rights.

Vote of 2020’s Stockholders Required

The approval of the Acquisition and the Adjournment Proposals will require the affirmative vote for the proposal by the holders of a majority of the Public Shares present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote on the proposal at the meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” the Acquisition and the Redomestication Proposals. You cannot seek conversion unless you affirmatively vote against the Acquisition Proposal. Broker non-votes are not deemed entitled to vote on such proposals and, therefore, they will have no effect on the votes on these proposals.

The approval of the Redomestication Proposal will require the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of 2020’s issued and outstanding common stock. Accordingly, abstentions and broker “non-votes” will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” the Redomestication Proposal.

Voting Your Shares

Each share of 2020 common stock that you own in your name entitles you to one vote. Your proxy card shows the number of shares of 2020’s 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 2020 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,

58


 
 

TABLE OF CONTENTS

your shares will be voted as recommended by 2020’s board “FOR” the Acquisition and the Redomestication Proposals and, if necessary, an Adjournment Proposal. 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.  2020 will give you 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 2020 can be sure that the broker, bank or nominee has not already voted your shares.

Revoking Your Proxy

If 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 George Lu, 2020’s Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President, 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 have any questions about how to vote or direct a vote in respect of your shares of 2020’s common stock, you may call Innisfree M&A Incorporated, 2020’s proxy solicitor, at (800) 750-5834.

Conversion Rights

Any of 2020’s stockholders holding Public Shares as of the record date who affirmatively vote their Public Shares against the Acquisition Proposal may also demand that such shares be converted into a pro rata portion of the trust account, calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Acquisition. If demand is properly made and the Acquisition is consummated, these shares will be converted into a pro rata portion of funds deposited in the trust account plus interest, calculated as of such date.

2020’s stockholders who seek to exercise this conversion right (“converting stockholders”) must affirmatively vote against the Acquisition Proposal. Abstentions and broker non-votes do not satisfy this requirement. Additionally, holders demanding conversion must deliver their stock (either physically or electronically using Depository Trust Company’s DWAC (Deposit Withdrawal at Custodian) System) to 2020’s transfer agent after the meeting within the time period specified in a notice you will receive after the meeting from or on behalf of Exceed, which period will be not less than 20 days. 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.

If the holders of at least 2,587,500 or more Public Shares (an amount equal to 30% or more of the Public Shares) vote against the Acquisition Proposal and properly demand conversion of their shares, 2020 will not be able to consummate the Acquisition.

The closing bid price of 2020’s common stock on October 2, 2009 (the record date for 2020’s special meeting) was $7.95. The cash held in the trust account on October 2, 2009 was approximately $68.1 million ($7.90 per Public Share). Prior to exercising conversion rights, stockholders should verify the market price of 2020’s 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 higher than the conversion price. There can be no assurance that 2020’s stockholders will be able to sell their shares of 2020 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 2020’s securities when 2020’s stockholders wish to sell their shares.

If you exercise your conversion rights, then you will be exchanging your shares of 2020 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 against the Acquisition Proposal, properly demand conversion and deliver your stock certificate (either physically or electronically) to 2020’s transfer agent after the meeting within the time period specified in a notice you will receive from or on behalf of Exceed, which period will be not less than 20 days.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Appraisal Rights

Stockholders of 2020 have appraisal rights in connection with each of the Acquisition Proposal and the Redomestication Proposal under the Delaware General Corporation Law. See “2020 Redomestication —  Appraisal Rights.” Stockholders who vote against the Acquisition Proposal and elect to convert their shares into cash will not have appraisal rights.

Proxy Solicitation Costs

2020 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. 2020 and its directors, officers and employees may also solicit proxies in person, by telephone or by other electronic means.

2020 has hired Innisfree M&A Incorporated to assist in the proxy solicitation process. It will pay that firm a fee of $20,000 plus disbursements. Such fee will be paid with non-trust account funds.

2020 will ask banks, brokers and other institutions, nominees and fiduciaries to forward its proxy materials to their principals and to obtain their authority to execute proxies and voting instructions. 2020 will reimburse them for their reasonable expenses.

2020 Inside Stockholders

As of October 2, 2009, the record date for 2020’s special meeting, the officers and directors of 2020, and certain entities controlled by them, beneficially owned and were entitled to vote 1,875,000 Original Shares. The Original Shares constituted 17.9% of the outstanding shares of 2020’s common stock immediately after the IPO (including shares of common stock issued pursuant to the exercise of the over-allotment option). The holders of the Original Shares have agreed to vote their Original Shares on the Acquisition Proposal in accordance with the majority of the votes cast by the holders of Public Shares. The 2020 Inside Stockholders have also indicated that they intend to vote their Original Shares in favor of all other proposals being presented at the meeting. The Original Shares have no liquidation rights and will be worthless if no business combination is effected by 2020. In connection with the IPO, the 2020 Inside Stockholders entered into an escrow agreement pursuant to which their Original Shares will be held in escrow until six months after a business combination, subject to limited exceptions.

Actions That May Be Taken to Secure Approval of 2020’s Stockholders

At any time prior to the special meeting, during a period when they are not then aware of any material nonpublic information regarding 2020, Windrace or their respective securities, the 2020 Inside Stockholders, Windrace or affiliates of the 2020 Inside Stockholders or of 2020, Windrace or Exceed may purchase shares from institutional and other investors, 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 2020’s common stock or vote their shares in favor of the Acquisition 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 (in person or represented by proxy) and entitled to vote on the Acquisition Proposal vote in its favor and that holders of fewer than 30% of the Public Shares vote against the Acquisition Proposal and demand conversion of their Public Shares into cash where it appears that such requirements would otherwise not be met. While the exact nature of any such incentives has not been determined as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, they might include, arrangements to protect such holders against potential loss in value of their shares, including the granting of put options, the transfer to such holders, shares or warrants owned by the 2020 Inside Stockholders for nominal value and the grant to such investors and holders of rights to nominate directors of 2020 or Exceed.

Any arrangements that are entered into may involve any or all of payment of significant fees, interest payments and issuance of additional Exceed shares to the persons providing the financing or other assistance in the transactions. As there have been no discussions with potential sellers, it is difficult to quantify what such fees or expenses might entail. We do not anticipate that such arrangements will be made in accordance with Rule 10b-18 under the Exchange Act.

Purchases pursuant to such arrangements ultimately paid for with funds in 2020’s trust account would diminish the funds available to Exceed after the Acquisition and the Redomestication for working capital and

60


 
 

TABLE OF CONTENTS

general corporate purposes. This may limit Exceed’s ability to internally finance its growth without raising additional capital from outside sources. In addition, such purchases could reduce the funds available to repay the portion of US$39.5 million owed by Windrace to Elevatech not repaid from the proceeds of the investment by Windtech and Wisetech. Nevertheless, in all events, Exceed will pay the holders of all Public Shares that are properly converted and condition any payments for purchases under such arrangements on Exceed first satisfying its obligations to the holders of Public Shares that are properly converted or subject to such arrangements. As a result of the purchases that may be effected through such arrangements, it is likely that the number of shares of common stock of Exceed in its public float will be significantly reduced and that the number of beneficial holders of Exceed securities will also be significantly reduced. This may make it difficult to obtain the quotation, listing or trading of Exceed securities on the NASDAQ Capital Market or another national securities exchange.

Entering into any such arrangements may have a depressive effect on 2020’s stock. For example, as a result of these arrangements, a 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 impact of any such arrangements on the financial statements of the combined companies will depend on the ultimate structure of the arrangements. To the extent that the arrangements result in the redemption of shares and, accordingly, a decrease in the number of outstanding shares, the arrangements could result in an increase in earnings per share. To the extent that the repurchases require payments by Windrace or by Exceed following closing of the arrangements, they would have the effect of decreasing net assets by reducing the available cash of Exceed.

If such transactions are effected, the consequence could be to cause the Acquisition to be approved in circumstances where such approval could not otherwise be obtained pursuant to the requirements set forth in 2020’s Form S-1. Purchases of shares by the persons described above would allow them to exert more influence over the approval of the Acquisition Proposal and other proposals and would likely increase the chances that such proposals would be approved. Moreover, any such purchases may make it less likely that the holders of 30% or more of the Public Shares will vote against the Acquisition Proposal and exercise their conversion shares. To secure approval of the Acquisition Proposal and the Redomestication Proposal, it may be necessary to repurchase as much as 70% of the Public Shares, but there is currently no binding arrangement or agreement regarding such repurchase.

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. The parties have engaged in preliminary discussions with certain current shareholders and prospective purchasers of shares from such investors or holders but have not entered into or agreed upon any definitive agreements.

We have, as a courtesy, provided assistance to an investor who identified itself to us as having obtained more than 5% of 2020’s outstanding common stock in making apprpropriate filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission with respect to such acquisition. No person affiliated with the 2020, Exceed, Windrace or Windtech or Wisetech offered such investor any inducement to purchase such shares or to vote such shares in any manner with respect to the Acquisition. We may provide similar assistance to stockholders that request it.

2020 will mail a supplement to this proxy statement/prospectus to its stockholders and 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 Acquisition Proposal or the conversion threshold. Any such supplement or report will include descriptions of any arrangements entered into or significant purchases by any of the aforementioned persons.

CONSIDERATION OF THE ACQUISITION

2020 was formed on August 21, 2006 to serve as a vehicle to accomplish a business combination with an unidentified business in China. 2020 completed an initial public offering on November 7, 2007 and the concurrent sale of warrants in a private placement to certain affiliates of 2020. Morgan Joseph subsequently exercised its over-allotment option with respect to the offering. The offerings yielded gross proceeds to 2020 of approximately $68.2 million. Of these net proceeds, approximately $68.1 million were placed in a trust account. In accordance with 2020’s Certificate of Incorporation, the trust account will be released either upon the consummation of a business combination or upon the liquidation of 2020. 2020 must liquidate unless a business combination is consummated by November 8, 2009.

Since the completion of the initial public offering of the company in November 2007, management has looked at close to 30 potential projects in China. Management focus has been on unlisted companies which are sector leaders in fields ranging from healthcare, specialty chemicals, renewable energy, mining, real estate, construction, biotechnology to contract outsourcing. In December 2007, the management team commenced a review of Chinese companies which had just successfully completed initial public offerings in Hong Kong and the United States. This was to assess the state of the respective sectors in which those companies operated and more importantly, to identify unlisted peers of those companies which were potential candidates for a business combination. At the same time, the management team tapped its network of investment banking and private equity contacts to prepare a list of companies which were in the midst of doing filings for initial public offerings or which were considering a public markets capital raising.

This initial assessment resulted in a list of more than 50 candidates across a wide range of sectors. The management team conferred and decided to narrow down the list of candidates by excluding companies which did not have an offshore ownership structure. This decision was reached after taking into account the difficulties of obtaining Chinese regulatory approval in a timely manner for a business combination which was essentially an all-stock reverse merger of a Chinese enterprise. This still resulted in a list of over 30 potential candidates, and over a three month period from December 2007 to February 2008, the management team started to approach candidates to assess their suitability and willingness to form a partnership with 2020.

February 2008 Candidate

On or about February 19, 2008, the management team made contact with an investment banking associate and received information on an electronic manufacturing services (EMS) company which had attempted an initial public offering in late 2007. After receiving the EMS company’s prospectus, marketing materials and 2008 projections, 2020’s management team conferred and decided to proceed with a preliminary assessment of the EMS company. On or about February 25, 2008, the 2020 management team visited the EMS company’s headquarters and operations in China and engaged in a discussion of preliminary terms with the EMS company’s management and shareholders. After extensive discussions, 2020’s management team was asked to provide a summary of terms. On or about March 31, 2008, the 2020 management team met with the founder of the EMS company to finalize the 2020 initial proposal, and draft terms were provided to the EMS company on April 2, 2008. The EMS company’s management informed the 2020 team that it would commence discussions among the EMS company’s shareholders to obtain consensus on the 2020 initial proposal. Email and telephone exchanges during the two months of April 2008 and May 2008 were the primary forms of communication regarding amendment and revision to the 2020 initial proposal. In parallel, the 2020 management continued to request and receive information from the EMS company for the purpose of assessing the suitability of the EMS company for a business combination with 2020.

By the end of June 2008, the EMS company’s management and 2020’s management team had made substantial progress on discussions over the transaction structure. On or about July 17, 2008, the EMS company and the 2020 management team finalized a non-binding term sheet, which was signed on or about July 21, 2008. Throughout this time, due diligence on the EMS company continued with weekly updates from the EMS company and its advisors. On or about August 8, 2008, 2020 convened a board meeting to discuss a potential combination and to seek approval to commence drafting of documentation for the project. With the board’s approval, counsel for 2020 was formally engaged to start on the documentation for the transaction. A draft agreement was circulated on August 14, 2008. From the second half of August 2008 to late September 2008, due diligence continued alongside the amendment of the draft agreement. By October 2008,

however, market conditions had severely deteriorated and 2020 management team assessed that it would be difficult to effect a business combination under the then agreed commercial terms. On or about November 5, 2008, the 2020 management team conveyed the difficulty of effecting a transaction under the current terms and suggested either waiting for the market to recover or assisting the EMS company with raising private equity funding. Since that correspondence, 2020 management referred third party investment banks to assist the EMS company with alternative fund raising solutions.

March 2008 Candidate

Throughout the discussions with the EMS company and prior to entering into any exclusivity arrangement with such company, the 2020 management team continued to evaluate other candidates in different sectors. On or about March 8, 2008, the 2020 management team was introduced to a leading Chinese healthcare company which was seeking a listing on a U.S. stock exchange. On or about March 11, 2008, one of the 2020 directors met with the company’s management at their Hong Kong office. The company is a leading specialty healthcare provider which had attempted a listing on a U.S. stock exchange in late 2007. The then underwriter was of the view that market sentiment was not conducive for an initial public offering and advised against proceeding with the offering. The company’s management was interested in transacting with a special purpose acquisition company (“SPAC”) which had between US$70 – 100 million in proceeds. After due assessment of the market, 2020 management concluded that the company operates in a highly regulated specialized healthcare sector in China, and there is a significant commercial advantage if the company can rapidly deploy funds raised in the capital markets to consolidate its leading position. 2020 management conferred on or about March 13, 2008 and decided to engage the company’s management.

On or about March 14, 2008, 2020 management met with the company and its financial advisor to discuss indicative terms. During the second half of March 2008, the 2020 management team received materials from the company relating to its previous listing attempt and commenced initial due diligence. Emails were exchanged to clarify points raised in the course of such investigation. On or about April 11, 2008, the 2020 management team met with the company at its Beijing headquarters. A draft letter of intent was prepared by both sides and the company requested 2020 to allow it time to communicate the 2020 proposal to its shareholders. On or about April 15, 2008, 2020 and the company entered into the non-binding letter of intent. After further discussions with company management in the second half of April, 2008, it decided to engage counsel to commence work on a formal term sheet. On or about May 6, 2008, a kick-off meeting was held in Hong Kong to discuss the terms as well as the transaction timetable. Between May 8, 2008 and May 14, 2008, the two sets of counsel worked with the company and 2020 to prepare a term sheet.

One key unresolved commercial issue during the discussions related to the composition of the board after the completion of the business combination. On May 16, 2008, the 2020 management team and its advisor received a message from the company to postpone further discussion until the company had reached internal consensus on the outstanding issue. On May 19, 2008, 2020’s counsel reminded all parties that the original “good faith” exclusivity period in the letter of intent would expire on May 21, 2008. On May 21, 2008, the 2020 management team, after taking into consideration the importance of the outstanding issue with the company and the other potential opportunities it was being invited to look at, decided to set aside this transaction pending resolution of the outstanding issue and refocus its attention on the EMS company and other potential targets.

October 2008 Candidate

When the 2020 management team observed that market conditions had deteriorated in the EMS sector and upon the expiration of the exclusivity arrangement with the EMS target, the team started to explore other sectors which may yield suitable targets for a business combination. For the entire month of October 2008, the team explored potential opportunities in the mining, engineering material and heavy machinery sectors, including visiting sites where such enterprises were located and interviewing management teams. Although none of those enterprises were considered suitable by the 2020 management team, the team was introduced to a potential opportunity in the specialty chemicals sector by a business associate in the course of those discussions. On October 20, 2008, the 2020 management team received a draft prospectus relating to a specialty chemicals company which had considered an initial public offering on the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong in mid 2008. As market conditions deteriorated, the company’s underwriter advised that the company postpone its listing

plans until market conditions improved. After a review of the draft prospectus, the 2020 management team assessed there was a potential transformational opportunity in this company and decided to initiate contact with the company’s management.

On October 25, 2008, members from the 2020 management team visited the company’s headquarters and plant at its Northeast China location. The 2020 team interviewed the chairman and majority shareholder to understand the business sector as well as to validate the potential transformational opportunity. On the same visit, the 2020 team interviewed plant operational personnel so as to ascertain the capacity and utilization of the company’s operations. At the visit, the team identified a potential intellectual property issue as the plant employed foreign technology, and was assured that the relevant confirmations and licenses could be procured with little difficulty. After the conclusion of the visit, the 2020 management team commenced separate investigations into the viability of the transformational opportunity by speaking with independent third party experts in the sector. Initial conclusions were promising and on October 29, 2008, the 2020 management team provided an indicative proposal on the approach to the transaction.

On November 6, William Sharp, one of the 2020 directors, visited the company’s headquarters and spoke with both the company’s chairman and the plant manager. After the visit, the 2020 management team conferred and concluded there was sufficient confidence in the strength of the business as well as the potential transformational opportunity. A term sheet was signed on November 9, 2008 and third party advisors were engaged to commence formal due diligence. On November 26, 2008, a special board meeting was convened to, among other things, ratify the provisions of the term sheet. Ratification was obtained and work commenced on preparing a draft sale and purchase agreement. In parallel with the due diligence work as well as the drafting, the 2020 management team liaised with intellectual property holders of a domestic technology which would underpin the transformational strategy which the 2020 team had in mind. On December 9, 2008, counsel to 2020 advised there were potential issues relating to the statutory records of the company’s operating subsidiary. Between December 10, 2008 and December 22, 2008, counsel to 2020 exchanged correspondence and documentation relating to the company’s operating subsidiary, and it was discovered that, contrary to initial representations by the company’s management, there was a pledge over the common shares of the company’s operating subsidiary. From December 23, 2008 to December 31, 2008, the 2020 management team assessed if there was any alternative to the sale and purchase structure in order for the transaction to proceed. Ultimately, it was decided that there was substantial risk for the transaction as long as the pledge over the common shares of the company’s operating subsidiary remained. On February 7, 2009, the 2020 management team informed the company that it considered the previous arrangements suspended indefinitely pending resolution of the pledge. On February 23, 2009, the 2020 management team informed the company that it considered the previous arrangements terminated.

The Current Target

As the 2020 management team was assessing the risk profile of the proposed transaction with the specialty chemicals company relating to, among other things, the material misrepresentation by its management and shareholders over the undisclosed share pledge, which invalidated all previous arrangements between 2020 and the specialty chemicals company, a decision was made on or about December 15, 2008, to explore alternative sectors. On or about December 20, 2008, the 2020 management team was invited to look at a potential opportunity relating to Windrace, which had attempted to list on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange in 2008. Windrace obtained approval of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange to initiate the Hong Kong retail offering in June 2008. Due to market conditions, Windrace decided on July 2, 2008 not to proceed with the initial public offering. The company is in the sports and leisurewear sector serving domestic consumer demand, which was a macro-economic theme which the 2020 management team felt was relevant to the current economic situation. The opportunity was introduced by a business associate who was familiar with one of the company’s institutional investors, RichWise. The actual introduction to RichWise took place via telephone on or about December 2, 2009. On January 7, 2009, a member of the 2020 management team visited RichWise’s office in Shenzhen, China, to explore the possibility of a business combination with Windrace. During the visit, the background of 2020 was explained to RichWise, together with its transformational investment strategy. RichWise expressed interest in assisting 2020 in exploring a partnership with Windrace. The RichWise team provided a sector overview of the China sporting goods industry, together with a brief analysis of Windrace’s positioning in this sector. Between January 9, 2009 and January 15, 2009, the 2020 management team

64


 
 

TABLE OF CONTENTS

received from Windrace materials relating to the business. After a careful review of the materials, the 2020 management team concluded that there was a transformational opportunity and RichWise was asked to facilitate a face-to-face meeting with Windrace’s management. Neither Richwise nor the business associate who introduced the 2020 management team to Richwise, nor any other party, has been paid, or is entitled to, any finders fee in connection with the Windrace opportunity.

On January 16, 2009, George Lu, chairman, chief executive officer and president of 2020, visited Windrace’s premises in Jinjiang, Fujian Province, China. Mr. Lu met with Mr. Shuipan Lin, the founder, chairman of the board and chief executive officer of Windrace, as well as the principals of RichWise, Mr. Kenry Shi and Mr. Jeff Huang. At the meeting, Mr. Lin described how he had established Windrace in 2001 as a branded sporting goods company to capitalize on a market opportunity for sportswear in tier 2 and tier 3 cities in China that focused on comfort, functionality and value. Mr. Lin had observed that there was a market demarcation between the domestic sporting brands which competed with the international brands in the tier 1 cities and the domestic sporting manufacturers which provided contract outsourcing services or engaged in wholesale of products without branding. When asked by Mr. Lu how he intended to distinguish himself from both sets of competitors, Mr. Lin replied that Windrace emphasized research and development, partnering with the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the China Institute of Sport Science under the General Administration of Sport of China, in addition to brand management strategies employed by foreign brands in China. Mr. Lin also informed Mr. Lu that Windrace had attempted an initial public offering on the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong in the second half of 2008 with Goldman Sachs and KGI as joint underwriters. At the time of the attempted Hong Kong Stock Exchange listing, the proposed valuation of the company, including the proceeds from the initial public offering, would have ranged between HK$2.76 billion (approximately US$353.8 million) and HK$3.96 billion (approximately US$507.7 million). The offering did not succeed because market conditions had severely deteriorated in the week before Windrace was due to price its securities. Goldman Sachs, through Elevatech, had also invested in Windrace prior to the attempted initial public offering for a sum of HK$306.2 million to acquire the preferred shares.

Mr. Lu had the opportunity to review the production lines of Windrace and speak with the other key management of Windrace. As part of business due diligence, Mr. Lu and other members of the 2020 management team visited the locations of Windrace’s domestic competitors which were largely located in the same city, as well as the retail stores of the leading domestic brands and Windrace’s store which were located in the city. After returning from the visit, Mr. Lu convened an internal discussion with the management team of 2020 on or about January 17, 2009 regarding the suitability of Windrace for a business combination with 2020. A key factor was whether Windrace had at least one of the following characteristics:

A domestic leader in its respective market segments
High quality and integrity of the management team
Possessing a clear business plan for the next 3 to 5 years

After due consideration, the 2020 management team concluded that Windrace possessed all of the above characteristics and a decision was made to engage Windrace further. On January 18, 2009, 2020 provided to Windrace, through RichWise, a summary of the discussions with Windrace at the January 16, 2009 meeting. Among other things, the summary highlighted:

All parties agreed that a U.S. listing would benefit Windrace by enhancing operational strengths, boost working capital and provide long term access to the capital markets
Given the preferred shares carried a right to convert into interest-bearing debt at the end of December 2009, it would be imperative for all parties to come to a consensus on a solution to address the potential conversion and the resulting requirement for cash outflow
Taking into consideration the joint underwriters’ analysis during Windrace’s last attempt at an initial public offering, any business combination with 2020 would not likely have a valuation which exceeded the price range indicated in its prior IPO attempt on a fully diluted basis, and at the same time Windrace would need to commit to stable and robust compound annual growth between 2009 and 2011, preferably at or around 30% to be regarded as a quality listed company

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Given the potentially dilutive effects of the 2020 warrants, Windrace would explore various means to repurchase the warrants with a view to cancelling them upon Closing
2020’s management team and Richwise would, working independently or through third party financial advisors, attempt to find strategic co-investors in Windrace in order to, among other things, finance the redemption of its preferred shares and to carry out strategic transformational initiatives
All parties committed to a consensus on the key issues on or before January 23, 2009

On January 19, 2009, Mr. Lu met with Mr. Shi in Shenzhen and both parties agreed on the importance of resolving the issue relating to the preferred shares. Possible solutions were discussed, including but not limited to:

The substitution of the preferred shares at Closing with common shares of 2020 at a revised valuation
The redemption of the preferred shares using cash invested by strategic co-investors in Windrace
The redemption of the preferred shares using cash from the trust account in 2020 after the Closing
Any combination of the foregoing

At the meeting, RichWise and Windrace indicated their desire to exclude 2020 from their discussion with the preferred shareholder given that it was not an original party to the investment relating to the preferred shares. RichWise agreed to assist Windrace in discussions with Elevatech and to update 2020 on any developments relating to the issue. 2020 indicated and both parties agreed that a satisfactory resolution to the redemption of the preferred shares from Elevatech would be a pre-requisite prior to 2020 and Windrace entering any binding commercial agreement.

From January 20, 2009 to January 31, 2009, Windrace continued to provide materials relating to its business to 2020 for due diligence. At the same time, 2020 commenced investigations into market rumors and allegations in the media relating to Windrace’s IPO during its attempted initial public offering in the second half of 2008. The 2020 management team obtained the Chinese legal opinion relating to the Hong Kong offering which, among other things, addressed the legal, taxation and regulatory compliance of Windrace’s operations in accordance with Chinese law. The team also had the opportunity of talking with Windrace’s Chinese legal advisor for the Hong Kong offering. The team separately spoke with Windrace’s auditors for the Hong Kong offering as well as certain members of the underwriters involved in the Hong Kong offering. In addition, the 2020 management team requested and was given full access to a data room of Windrace to conduct documentary due diligence. In the course of such documentary due diligence, 2020 and its advisors were given access to the underlying licenses, permits, receipts and official statements which formed the basis of the Chinese legal opinion as well as the conclusions in the audited financial statements relating to the Hong Kong offering. After consulting with 2020’s own advisors, the management team of 2020 concluded that there were no material issues relating to the market rumors and allegations and it was the deterioration of the general market conditions which had led to the cessation of the previous attempt at a Hong Kong listing. Therefore, on or about January 30, 2009, 2020’s management team introduced Crowe Horwath to Windrace as a potential auditor on behalf of Windrace for the Acquisition and discussions commenced as to the most efficient way of conducting the audit. It was agreed that the audit of Windrace would be undertaken under IFRS, with 2020 to provide pro forma financial information under United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“U.S. GAAP”).

On or about February 2, 2009, the management team of 2020 conferred on the initial valuation of the transaction and decided to propose the following terms to Windrace:

The total valuation for the entire shareholding in Windrace would be 6 times of the estimated 2008 earnings of Windrace including a portion of the consideration held in a three-year escrow and an earn-out with committed three-year business performance targets
The consideration would be in the form of common shares of 2020 with restrictions to facilitate the earn-out mechanism and no cash would be paid out as a result of the Acquisition

66


 
 

TABLE OF CONTENTS

At Closing, a portion of the consideration would be released to the shareholders of Windrace, comprising one tranche for the owner of the preferred shares or their replacement shareholder (to be released in full without any restrictions) and another tranche for the other shareholders (a portion of their total entitlement subject to a standard six month lock-up)
The balance of the consideration would be held in escrow and released at the end of the audit cycles of each of 2009, 2010 and 2011 in a ratio of 60%, 30% and 10% of the total outstanding balance, respectively
Given the rights attached to the preferred shares, it would be necessary for Windrace to either have Elevatech be a signatory to any agreement relating to the Acquisition or for Elevatech to suspend its rights attached to the preferred shares pending Closing

The foregoing terms were forwarded by 2020 to Windrace via RichWise on or about February 3, 2009. In the meantime, RichWise and 2020 assisted Windrace in drawing up a short list of legal advisors to work on the Acquisition on behalf of Windrace on February 5, 2009. On or about February 9, 2009, Mr. Lin indicated he was satisfied with the initial terms proposed by 2020. To proceed with the transaction, he agreed to finalize the appointments of both auditor and counsel for the Acquisition no later than the following week. On or about February 19, 2009, the 2020 management team drew up a short list of potential strategic co-investors with a view to inviting them to assess the business opportunity relating to Windrace and the Acquisition and to facilitate the resolution of the issue relating to the preferred shares.

On February 23, 2009, Mr. Lu had a discussion with Mr. Lin at the headquarters of Windrace in Jinjiang regarding the future plans of Windrace and the use of proceeds from the Acquisition and any potential strategic co-investment. Mr. Lin outlined the evolution of the Chinese sporting goods sector from a purely contract manufacturing role to three distinctive branded business models. In all three models, Windrace engaged in the wholesale of their products to distributors which had no equity relationship with the wholesaler. This was a channel which was first established in 2004 and had since been replicated across China. Where each model differed was its ownership of the brand and approach to manufacturing. The first model was typified by a company which managed its own sporting brand and outsourced all of its manufacturing to third parties. The second model was typified by a company which licensed and managed a sporting brand from an overseas brand owner, and also outsourced all of its manufacturing to third parties. The third model was typified by a company which managed its own sporting brand and continued to manufacture a substantial portion of its products through an integrated approach.

Mr. Lin expressed that Windrace currently implemented the third model, but there was a market opportunity to create a hybrid model by licensing an overseas brand to create market segmentation among Windrace’s product offerings. Windrace had been in non-exclusive discussions with an independent fund which had expressed intention in investing in Windrace and/or assisting it in seeking an overseas sporting brand. Mr. Lu observed that Windrace’s product offerings were dominant in tier 2 and tier 3 markets and having an overseas sporting brand would help Windrace to access the tier 1 market. This was in line with the transformational strategy which the 2020 management team had identified for Windrace and Mr. Lin agreed that it would be a priority of Windrace upon completion of the Acquisition. Mr. Lin and Mr. Lu further discussed specific ideas for the future direction of the current brand as well as certain key design characteristics of any new brand to be acquired or licensed from overseas brand owners. At the conclusion of the discussions, Mr. Lin and Mr. Lu agreed that having a listed status would facilitate many of the strategies which Windrace had in mind to expand the business.

On or about February 25, 2009, Mr. Lu arranged for a delegation from Morgan Joseph to attend a meeting hosted by Mr. Lin. At the meeting, Mr. Lin, through an interpretation provided by Mr. Lu, explained Windrace’s history and its strategy for the future direction of the business. Following the meeting, and based on a determination that Windrace’s listed peers were trading in a band between 10 to 15 times 2009 projected earnings, Mr. Lu explored the possibility of structuring the payment of consideration to Windrace’s shareholders such that the effective post-money valuation at Closing would be at an acceptable discount to Windrace’s listed peers. In addition, Mr. Lu believed that by having further payments contingent on Windrace’s performance, it would help ensure that the post-money valuation of Windrace remained competitive with its listed

peer group throughout the next three audit cycles. Mr. Lu conferred with the 2020 management team on the key commercial terms which would be incorporated into the draft sale and purchase agreement relating to the Acquisition.

On March 2, the 2020 management team was informed by Windrace that Mr. Lin and RichWise had met with Elevatech in Hong Kong to discuss the matter of the preferred shares. Mr. Lin reported that Elevatech had expressed support for Windrace and was willing to work with Mr. Lin and the Windrace management to arrive at a mutually beneficial solution. The 2020 management team was further informed that Windrace and RichWise would continue to discuss with Elevatech on various proposals relating to a resolution of the preferred shares issue, and would keep the 2020 management team updated of any key developments.

After referencing the previous terms discussed between 2020 and Windrace on February 3, 2009, the 2020 management team decided to establish the following key commercial propositions:

After a review of the ownership structures of privately-owned Chinese companies listed in the U.S., the 2020 management team concluded that it would be acceptable for the founders and management to continue to hold 35% to 45% of Windrace on a fully-diluted basis upon the completion of a structured three-year earn-out. This was to be achieved after the completion of the 2011 audit cycle provided that Windrace achieved all of its performance targets. Based on assumptions as to the amount invested by strategic co-investors at or before Closing, assumptions as to the redemption of shares of 2020 common stock by 2020 shareholders prior to Closing and assuming no changes in the capital structure post Closing, the 2020 management team calculated that the total issuance of slightly more than 17 million common shares at a price of approximately US$7.94 per share to the original shareholders of Windrace would achieve the target ownership percentage
Windrace informed 2020 that as initial discussions between Elevatech and Windrace indicated that Elevatech did not wish to remain as investors in Windrace post Closing, it was imperative that Windrace worked with Elevatech to address the rights attached to the preferred shares before the signing of any legally binding agreement relating to the Acquisition. In the event that Elevatech wished to redeem its preferred shares in full, the source of the funds would be either the trust proceeds of 2020 or funding from strategic co-investors
Given the fact that Windrace was operating in a sector which already had a listed peer group, it would be necessary for the total issuance of shares to the original shareholders of Windrace be structured as an earn-out subject to the achievement of certain performance targets. At the same time, the 2020 management team was advised that the total issuance of non-contingent shares to the original shareholders of Windrace and the replacement shareholders of the preferred shares, if any, had to comprise not less than 51% of the issued and outstanding shareholding of 2020, in order to qualify for reverse merger accounting. Taking into account the foregoing, the 2020 management team proposed that 2,750,000 shares be issued to the original shareholders of Windrace at Closing, together with 5,227,045 shares to be issued as replacement shares for the preferred shares. The balance of the consideration shares would be held in an escrow account, to be released at each of the 2009, 2010 and 2011 audit cycles subject to the achievement of certain performance targets
Based on the 2020 Management team’s experience regarding the market’s expectation of growth in Windrace’s sector, the 2020 management team, in consultation with Windrace, proposed that the annual performance targets would be equivalent to a compound annual growth rate of 30% from the 2008 earnings of Windrace, as adjusted for certain acquisition related one-off expenses and any accounting impact from the preferred shares. Effectively, Windrace had to commit to the achievement of minimum earnings targets for each of the 2009, 2010 and 2011 audit cycles. Given the weakness in the global economy and the resultant uncertainty on China’s export-oriented economy, as well as the consensus among equity analysts in Windrace’s sector that average growth would be between 15% to 20%, the 2020 management team concluded that a compound annual growth rate of 30% was a sufficiently desirable growth target
In past discussions with Mr. Lin, the 2020 management team was asked to consider maintaining the ratio of 60%, 30% and 10% in terms of the release of contingent shares from the escrow account as

discussed in early February 2009, provided the relevant performance targets were achieved. Taking into account that Windrace and its original shareholders were willing to commit to a minimum growth schedule, the 2020 management team proposed to maintain the ratio which was discussed in February 2009

On or about March 6, 2009, the foregoing propositions were conveyed to Mr. Lin by Mr. Lu. Mr. Lin agreed to the proposed terms and a draft sale and purchase agreement was circulated to all parties based on the commercial understanding. On March 9, 2009, a formal third party meeting was held in the offices of Richwise in Shenzhen. In attendance were Mr. Lin, Mr. Lu, Deacons (Hong Kong counsel for 2020), Jones Day (U.S. and Hong Kong counsel for Windrace), Jingtian (Chinese counsel for Windrace), Crowe Horwath and certain members of the management teams of both Windrace and 2020. The agenda for the meeting was as follows:

Agreement on the steps needed to finalize the accounting treatment for the Acquisition
Discussion on the main commercial terms for the benefit of counsel who would be responsible for drafting the documentation relating to the Acquisition
Timeline relating to the Acquisition assuming Windrace could produce a timely resolution to the issue relating to the preferred shares
Finalization of the working group for the Acquisition

At the conclusion of the March 12, 2009 meeting, Mr. Lin indicated to Mr. Lu that would be imperative for Windrace to find co-investors to satisfy the cash payments to Elevatech and he would be willing to concede to the valuation as he indicated to Elevatech in their prior meetings and Mr. Lu expressed his support. Mr. Lu further indicated that he would follow up on the introduction of potential co-investors to Windrace. Mr. Lin said he would be willing to host meetings at Windrace’s headquarters for any interested parties in the coming weeks.

Between March 16, 2009 and March 24, 2009, counsel for Windrace and 2020 continued to exchange comments and correspondence relating to the draft Purchase Agreement. The 2020 management team participated in such discussions on a as-needed basis to clarify commercial points which were agreed with Windrace and its shareholders.

On March 25, 2009, Mr. Lin informed Mr. Lu that he had a second meeting with Elevatech in Hong Kong. At the meeting, Mr. Lin reported that Elevatech was willing to convert the principal value of its preferred shares into debt, which was to be repaid before the end of 2009. However, Elevatech indicated it would like to receive interest to represent their cost of capital and would have further discussions internally before reverting to Windrace on the amount. Mr. Lin replied he was open to discussions on this issue and nominated Mr. Shi from RichWise to negotiate on behalf of Windrace. On the same day, Mr. Lu and Mr. Lin met in Shenzhen and discussed refinements on the commercial terms of the Acquisition which had been gradually incorporated into the legal language of the draft Purchase Agreement. Mr. Lin had mentioned that he understood that with the current uncertainty in the capital markets, it was impossible for Windrace to achieve the same valuation it may have had if it had successfully listed a year ago, but at the same time, in light of the aggressive performance targets to which Windrace was willing to commit, he asked Mr. Lu to consider an additional consideration for the original shareholders if Windrace met its final audit cycle target. Mr. Lu conferred with the 2020 management team and after due consideration, agreed with Mr. Lin that an additional issuance of 2,212,789 shares shall be made to the original shareholders of Windrace (excluding the replacement shareholders for the preferred shares) if Windrace met its final 2011 audit cycle target at or around March 2012. Mr. Lu’s conclusion was based on the fact that the issuance represented a small part of the overall capital of 2020 by or around March 2012, which is when the additional issuance may be made, and it would serve to further align the interest of the Founders (which comprise the largest portion of the issuance) with the other shareholders.

Between March 27, 2009 and March 30, 2009, Mr. Lin organized a trip for Mr. Lu to meet with Windrace’s distributors in Xi’an and Hefei and also to meet with Windrace’s research and development partner, a Chinese Science Academy Institute based in Hefei. The meeting with the Xi’an and Hefei distributors

was extremely helpful for Mr. Lu in understanding the business dynamics of selling a branded sportswear products in tier 2 and tier 3 cities, especially since Mr. Lu had the opportunity before the meeting to visit and assess the retail stores belonging to Windrace’s peers. The visits and the meeting helped to validate the 2020 management team’s assessment of the importance of having highly motivated distributors and retail owners to promote the wholesaler’s products. In this regard, Windrace had immense potential as it offered comparatively higher margins to its distributors, and in terms of store management and location coverage, it was not obvious that Windrace’s listed peers had any distinct advantage over Windrace. The visit to the Chinese Science Academy was also helpful to understand Mr. Lin’s emphasis on using science and technology to improve functional sportswear to China’s mass market at competitive prices. Mr. Lu met with Professor Sun, who introduced some of the innovations which his institute was currently exploring with Windrace on an exclusive basis.

From April 1, 2009 to April 5, 2009, the 2020 management team continued to work with the various counsel to further refine the draft Purchase Agreement. On April 6, 2009, Mr. Lu met with Mr. Lin in Shenzhen to discuss progress on a potential overseas licensing arrangement, the preferred shares issue as well as to meet with the distributor of the Guangdong province. Mr. Lin indicated that he had an interest in certain foreign brands which could be successful in the China market and had asked an intermediary to look into possibilities of cooperation with those brands and asked Mr. Lu to represent him and Windrace in those discussions. On the preferred shares issue, he reported that RichWise had made good progress in discussions with Elevatech and the only outstanding issue was over the amount of interest and the timing of payment. Mr. Lin then introduced the Guangdong distributor to Mr. Lu and mentioned that Guangdong province, being one of the wealthiest areas in China, was a key location for future launch of any overseas brand managed by Windrace. Mr. Lu had a constructive discussion with the distributor on the market segmentation between tier 1 cities and the rest of China.

From April 7, 2009 to April 13, 2009, the 2020 management team divided its attention between finalizing the draft Purchase Agreement (pending resolution of the preferred shares issue) and further diligence. On April 14, 2009, Mr. Shi from RichWise informed Mr. Lu that Elevatech had reached preliminary agreement with Windrace on the timing and amount of payments relating to the preferred shares, and Windrace intended to have Elevatech meet with Windrace’s counsel that week to finalize a set of terms relating to the preferred shares. On the same day, Mr. Lu had a discussion with Morgan Joseph in order to plan a working schedule for the announcement of the transaction, the filing of the proxy statement, and the preparation of presentation materials and for Morgan Joseph to schedule meetings for the Windrace management team, as well as related travel visa issues. At the same time, counsel for 2020 and Windrace continued to exchange correspondence on the drafting of the sale and purchase agreement. In parallel, the 2020 management team began to finalize the analysis of the accounting treatment for the Acquisition under IFRS.

On April 16, 2009, 2020 was informed by RichWise that it had convened a discussion with Elevatech to formally commence drafting a set of terms which would form the basis for a binding memorandum of understanding relating to the preferred shares. Elevatech informed Windrace that it was retaining its own counsel to participate in this process. The agreed intention was for a draft set of terms to be ready and circulated on April 19, 2009. On April 18, 2009, the 2020 management team finalized its analysis of the accounting treatment for the Acquisition under IFRS, and counsel was instructed to prepare the appropriate revisions to the draft sale and purchase agreement. On the same day, the 2020 management team commenced working with Windrace on its corporate presentation, which would form the basis for the presentation which would eventually be filed with the SEC upon the announcement of the Acquisition.

On April 20, 2009, Windrace informed 2020 that it had sent the first draft of the set of terms to Elevatech for their review. Elevatech requested a discussion between Windrace’s counsel and their own counsel on the draft, and a teleconference was held on April 23, 2009 during which Elevatech proposed some revisions. Windrace’s counsel conferred and reverted with a revised draft which was sent to Elevatech on the same day. On April 24, 2009, after taking into account the progress of discussions with the shareholders of Windrace and Windrace’s discussions with Elevatech, Mr. Lu called for a special meeting of the Board to review and approve the terms of the potential acquisition of Windrace, to be held on May 4, 2009. From April 25, 2009 to April 29, 2009, the 2020 management team continued to work with Windrace and counsel to finalize the equity purchase agreement. Work also commenced in parallel on the preparation of the draft of the proxy statement, the first draft of which was circulated to all parties for comments on April 29, 2009.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

On April 29, 2009, Seyfarth circulated materials for the proposed Board meeting on May 4, 2009. The materials included:

An agenda for the meeting
The proposed resolutions
The most recent draft of the Purchase Agreement
The most current draft of the proxy statement
Press release relating to the proposed Acquisition
Corporate presentation relating to Windrace and the proposed Acquisition

On the same day, 2020 was informed by Windrace that it had progressed in discussions with Elevatech and was close to agreeing on a set of terms for the proposed redemption of the Elevatech preferred shares.

The Board Meeting

On May 3, 2009, the Board of 2020 met by telephone conference to discuss and approve the proposed acquisition of Windrace. The meeting opened with Seyfarth confirming that all board members were in attendance. It was then confirmed that all the board members had received the materials previously circulated to them on April 29, 2009 and had the opportunity to review such materials. George Lu then opened the meeting with a discussion of the transaction structure. Referring to the draft corporate presentation, Mr. Lu stated that the transaction would be structured as an all-stock acquisition, with common stock to be issued and released to the Sellers subject to the achievement of certain performance targets in each of the three fiscal years ended December 31, 2011. The aggregate consideration to be paid to the Sellers consists of a total of 17,008,633 ordinary shares of Exceed to be issued at closing. A significant portion of these shares would be held in an escrow account pending the completion of performance targets, but 8,236,356 shares would be released into circulation at closing to the Sellers, assuming the maximum amount of Public Shares were converted into cash. Mr. Lu explained that if Windrace brought in new investors in Windrace before the closing, the 8,236,356 shares released to the Sellers at closing from the escrow account would decrease by the number of shares issued to such investors would be in addition to the aggregate 17,008,633 Exceed shares issued to the Sellers, as any such new investors would be contributing additional capital to Windrace, 2020’s management did not believe that any such investment would substantially alter 2020’s analysis of the value of Windrace. Also outstanding at the conclusion of the Acquisition would be the 7,913,362 Exceed ordinary shares issued to the 2020 current shareholders, assuming the maximum amount of Public Shares were converted into cash. In calculating the preceding figures, 2020’s management assumed that 29.99% of the 2020 Public Shares would be converted into cash. Finally, an additional number of 812,895 to 3,739,198 shares could be released into circulation from the exercise of warrants and options. Therefore, the total number of shares in circulation at closing would range between 16,962,613 and 19,888,916 shares. As a result of the structure, the transaction consideration to the Sellers and any new investors in Windrace at closing, or the “standalone” valuation, would amount to $65.4 million, which would equate to a pro forma fully diluted equity value of the merged company of $158.0 million, excluding escrowed and contingent shares, but including 2020 public and founders shares and fully diluted for all warrants. In the event that all public warrants were repurchased, the pro forma fully diluted equity value of the merged company would be $134.8 million. All of the foregoing values were based on an assumed share price of $7.95, being the cash per Public Share within the trust account of 2020 at the time of the board meeting. It was explained to the board that the share price of $7.95 used in the calculations was an assumption only, and the board was made aware that if the share price were different on the date of closing, the pro forma equity value would proportionately change. The board understood that there were variables which might impact on the share price, including but not limited to market perceptions of the dilutive effect of the release of shares from escrow or the exercise of warrants. However, the board was of the view that the cash per Public Share of $7.95 was a reasonable starting point for the valuation analysis. Based on the lower equity value of $134.8 million, the transaction would meet the 80% test as required under the charter of 2020.

Shares in circulation     16,962,613       19,888,916  
Pro forma equity value (based on shares in circulation and share price of $7.95 per share)   $ 134,783,131     $ 158,055,226  

The pro forma equity value analysis took into account the transaction, i.e. the cash contribution of Public Shares, even though no cash was paid out to the Sellers. The 2020 management team believed that while it was standard industry practice to evaluate the enterprise and equity valuation of Windrace on a standalone basis it was also useful to include the valuation on a pro forma basis given the potential impact of the cash reserves of 2020 to the combined company following the Acquisition. The standalone valuation reflects the valuation of the consideration received by Windrace shareholders while the pro forma valuation reflects the value of the consideration including the effect of the outstanding founders shares of 2020, the impact of the outstanding warrants as well as the cash received by Windrace upon the closing. Under the pro forma valuation methodology, the pro forma value increases based on the number of shares being issued in the transaction even if the number of shares is unrelated to the underlying enterprise value of the acquired company. In evaluating the transaction, the 2020 management team noted that there were no comparable merger transactions within the Chinese sportswear sector in which Windrace operates, and the appropriate method of determining the fairness of the transaction to the public shareholders would be to assess if the transaction was implemented at a reasonable discount to the publicly traded comparable companies.

Mr. Lu also discussed Windrace’s net income for 2008 and 2009. Unaudited 2008 net income was RMB168.5 million (approximately $24.3 million) — this included one-time expenses and certain non-cash charges relating to issuance of the Elevatech preferred shares in 2008. Without such expenses and charges, 2008 unaudited adjusted net income would be RMB221.7 million (approximately $31.9 million). The implied price/earnings multiple based on pro forma equity value and unadjusted 2008 net income would range between 5.5 times to 6.4 times, whereas the implied price/earnings multiple based on pro forma equity value and adjusted 2008 net income would range between 4.2 times to 4.9 times. The implied “standalone” price/earnings multiples based on adjusted and unadjusted 2008 net income would range between 2.1 times and 2.7 times respectively. Regarding the 2009 projection, Mr. Lu referred to the performance target for 2009 of RMB260 million (approximately $38.1 million) and conveyed that Windrace’s management was confident it would be able to exceed that target. However, in order to be conservative, Mr. Lu said that the 2020 management team had assumed 2009 projected income of RMB260 million in order to assess valuation. Based on the pro forma equity value of Windrace both on a fully-diluted and non fully-diluted basis, the implied price/earnings multiple based on 2009 projected income of RMB260 million would range between 5.3 times to 5.9 times. Also provided for the board’s consideration was the valuation of Windrace during its previous Hong Kong offering. Including the proceeds from the initial public offering, the Hong Kong offering valued Windrace at between HK$2.76 billion (approximately $353.8 million) and HK$3.96 billion (approximately $507.7 million). The implied price/earnings multiple based on unadjusted 2008 income would have ranged between 14.6 to 20.9 times, a substantially higher multiple than that being contemplated by the board.

Referring to a table of publicly-traded comparable companies which was updated as of April 24, 2009 and which is reproduced below, Mr. Lu drew attention to the fact that the mean and medium implied price/earnings multiple for 2008 among China branded sportswear companies was 12.5 times and 13.5 times respectively, and for 2009 was 11.2 times and 11.9 times. Among international branded sportswear companies, the mean and medium price/earnings multiple for 2008 was 11.3 times and 10.0 times respectively, and for 2009 was 12.5 times and 11.5 times. Mr. Lu pointed out and the Board understood that the publicly traded

72


 
 

TABLE OF CONTENTS

comparable companies were valued at considerably higher multiples than the proposed transaction, regardless of whether the “standalone” valuation or pro forma equity value was employed. Given that the “standalone” valuation at closing would represent a discount of at least 70% of the valuation of the publicly traded comparable companies, and the pro forma equity valuation at closing would represent a discount of at least 50% of the valuation of the publicly traded comparable companies, the Board was comfortable that the discount at closing was sufficiently large and therefore the valuation of the transaction was fair and in the best interests of the public shareholders. Mr. Lu explained that the peer companies had been selected based on the similarities of their business models to Windrace. The “China Branded Sportswear” companies had certain common features: (i) own distinctive brands rather than being merely a contract manufacturer; (ii) products are designed in China; (iii) revenues substantially derived from sportswear or leisurewear as opposed to fashion and/or business wear; and (iv) wholesale business only with no ownership of distribution channel. Excluded from the list were companies which are substantially contract manufacturing operations, owners of distribution channels and wholesalers of leatherwear or fashion brands, as these were regarded by the 2020 management team as having different operational considerations. The “International Branded Sportswear” companies were provided as reference points to illustrate how global branded sportwear companies performed in the capital markets. Mr. Lu also discussed the possibility that U.S. investors, in particular, 2020’s shareholders, may compare Windrace with a U.S. apparel company rather than a purely China branded sportswear company. Mr. Lu mentioned that based on growth rate and other indicators, the closest comparable U.S. apparel company was trading at more than 20 times historical 2008 earnings. A question was raised as to the total consideration being paid and the approximate value of the interest being acquired. Mr. Lu referred the board to the table below which illustrated a scenario at the end of the three year period in which the merged company was able to ultimately achieve its 2011 performance target and therefore all of the shares in escrow were released, and an additional amount of earn-out shares for achieving the 2011 performance target was issued, to the Sellers. The total consideration paid to the Sellers, or the “standalone” valuation, would be $152.8 million based on an assumed share price of $7.95, representing an implied price/earnings multiple based on unadjusted 2008 income of 6.3 times. Mr. Lu noted that the share price of $7.95 used in the calculations was an assumption only, and that the actual price of the stock was subject to change over time based on the Company’s performance, market conditions and the potential dilutive effect of the release of the additional shares from escrow and the issuance of the Earn-Out Shares. Mr. Lu added that if the share price were different on the relevant date, the pro forma equity value would proportionately change. The Board understood that the same variables which might impact on the share price at closing might also be relevant in the 2011 analysis. In comparison, excluding the proceeds from the initial public offering, the Hong Kong offering valued Windrace at between HK$2.07 billion (approximately $265.4 million) and HK$2.97 billion (approximately $380.8 million). The implied price/earnings multiple based on unadjusted 2008 income would have ranged between 10.9 to 15.7 times, a higher multiple than that contemplated by the board.

 
Standalone valuation after 2011 audit cycle
        
Sellers’ Shares released at Closing and from escrow     17,008,633  
Earn-Out Shares     2,212,789  
Total shares issued to Sellers     19,221,422  
Consideration (at $7.95 per share)   $ 152,810,305  
2008 audited earnings   $ 24,236,876  
2011 target earnings   $ 64,333,821  
Implied price/earnings multiple for 2008 earnings     6.3  
Implied price/earnings multiple for 2011 earnings     2.4  

Based on the foregoing chart, Mr. Lu and the Board arrived at the conclusion that the transaction on a “standalone” basis resulted in a range of potential values for Windrace of between 6.3 times 2008 earnings and 2.4 times 2011 earnings, both of which were recognized to be below the multiples for comparable public companies, providing what the Board believed to be a reasonable discount that could help mitigate unanticipated future risks relating to Windrace or the transaction.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Mr. Lu further elaborated that the performance targets for 2009, 2010 and 2011 had been the subject of internal assessment by the 2020 management team. The team built its own bottom-up analysis of Windrace’s projections and also took into account the considerations set out in the section “Windrace’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition And Results Of Operations — Factors Affecting Windrace’s Results of Operations and Financial Condition” Some of these considerations included (i) the rate of economic growth in China, (ii) consumer demand for sportswear products in China, (iii) pricing of Windrace’s products, (iv) range of product portfolio, (v) growth of Windrace’s network through distributors, (vi) costs of sales and expenses, (vii) amount of outsourcing to contract manufacturers, (viii) impact of branding enhancement on margins and (ix) level of income tax and preferential tax treatment.” One of the key assumptions behind the final earnings target for 2011 was that revenue would achieve a compound annual growth of more than 20% from 2008 to 2011. This is expected to be driven by volume growth as well as increase in the average selling price of products. Windrace expects to expand its sales network through its distributors by opening between 500 to 1,000 new stores or outlets annually before the end of 2011. Through brand enhancement, increase in the average selling price was also expected to contribute a few percentage points to gross margin. In addition, the effective tax rate for 2011 was forecast to be slightly less than 13% based on the current direction of tax law in China. However, to be conservative, net profit margins was forecast to increase by only approximately two percentage points. As Mr. Lu recapped the transaction structure to the board, he explained that the core of the analysis was that a maximum of 19,221,422 shares of Exceed in total may be issued solely to the current Windrace sellers, comprising 17,008,633 shares issued at closing out of which a substantial majority would be held in escrow, as well as 2,212,789 shares to be issued upon the achievement of the final earnings target for fiscal year 2011. Management of 2020 and Windrace determined that in order to limit the dilution of the shareholders as a whole, the participation of new Windrace investors should be capped at a new issuance of 5,277,045 shares which was an amount based on the projected purchase price per share in the Purchase Agreements to generate sufficient proceeds to repay the obligation to Elevatech. The board determined that in coming to its fairness determination, it should consider both the standalone valuation of the business of Windrace, as well as the potential dilution of introducing new Windrace investors. Mr. Lu and the Board assumed that the transaction was completed including the issuance of up to 5,277,045 shares to new Windrace investors. Mr. Lu noted that in the event that less than 5,277,045 shares were issued to the new Windrace investors, the potential dilution arising from issuing additional shares to new Windrace investors would be less and the applicable pro forma equity value would decrease. Based on the review of the comparable companies set forth in the following table, Mr. Lu assessed that the transaction valuation was fair and in the best interests of the stockholders of 2020.

In determining the fairness of the transaction, the board had referred to the 2020 management team’s own projections of the merged entity after completion of the Acquisition based on business, operational and financial data provided by Windrace as well as its own analysis of the sector in which Windrace operates. The board also took into account the fact that the 2020 management team would monitor Windrace’s operations on an ongoing basis based on updated business, operational and financial data provided by Windrace from time to time to assess whether the original considerations relating to the fairness determination had fundamentally changed. Finally, the Board returned to the valuation analysis of both the pro forma equity value of the transaction and the “standalone” valuation of Windrace under the different scenarios. Since there were no comparable merger transactions within the China sportswear sector in which Windrace operates, the board determined that the appropriate method of assessing the fairness of the transaction and whether it was in the best interests of the public shareholders would be to assess if Windrace was valued, both on a “standalone” basis and pro forma equity value, at a sufficient discount to the valuations of the publicly traded comparable companies. In relation to the foregoing, the board determined that while the “standalone” valuation was a key consideration in determining fairness, and such analysis was applied and considered by the Board, it was useful in transactions of this type to additionally assess the implied market capitalization of the business of Windrace post-closing when comparing the price/earnings multiples from publicly traded comparable companies. Based on the discount to the valuation of the publicly traded comparable companies for 2008 and 2009 projected earnings, the board was of the view that the transaction was fair and reasonable from the perspective of the public shareholders.

Mr. Lu then addressed questions from the board regarding due diligence conducted on Windrace. 2020 board members comprised investment professionals and senior corporate personnel with operational experience in China and elsewhere. Two of the directors, Mr. Louis Koo and Mr. Meng Ann Lim, are independent directors of Li Ning Company Limited, one of the leading sportswear companies in China. Mr. William Hsu, another director, is an investment professional at one of the largest private equity funds in China, and has conducted valuation and due diligence on companies in Windrace’s industry. Mr. Lu reported that the 2020 management team had, in addition to having its third party advisors conduct the standard documentary and regulatory diligence, contacted previous investors of Windrace to assess Windrace’s management. The recurring feedback was that Mr. Shuipan Lin, the founder, chairman of the board and chief executive officer, was a successful local entrepreneur with a high degree of integrity and dedication to Windrace’s business. Not only did he build up a successful retail consumer brand in a relatively short time, he was also generous and fair in his dealings as a business partner, which is a critical factor in a wholesale business which depends on securing and maintaining relationships with independent distributors. The 2020 management team had also looked into the documents relating to Windrace’s previous listing attempt and had, where the opportunity presented itself,

76


 
 

TABLE OF CONTENTS

spoken with the advisors which had worked on that listing attempt. Since the initial review in January 2009, the 2020 management team and its advisors had more thoroughly reviewed the documents available in the data room provided by Windrace. The Chinese legal opinion prepared for the Hong Kong offering had also been updated to address any changes to Windrace’s legal, taxation and regulatory compliance in China. The team also had the opportunity of working very closely with Windrace’s auditors for the transaction as well as the financial executives of Windrace to be able to prepare a bottom-up financial model of the business, including historical and projected analyses. Mr. Lu also reported to the board that the team had assessed the strength of the distribution channel by conducting visits to several of the key distributors for Windrace, and had interviewed several of the channel owners as to, among other things, their historical performance as downstream customers of Windrace as well as their outlook for the sector. The board was also appraised of the valuation proposed for Windrace in its previous attempt to list in Hong Kong. Combined with the independent findings of Windrace’s and 2020’s third party advisors, the 2020 management team was satisfied with the results of the due diligence conducted so far on Windrace.

In terms of risk, Mr. Lu discussed the potential challenges to Mr. Lin and his management team as he grew his business, as well as the need to manage cash flow of the business in an optimal manner while strengthening and expanding the distribution chain. Windrace’s future plan to bring in a foreign licensed brand was also an opportunity and a challenge. Mr. Lu said he had several opportunities to have candid discussions with Mr. Lin on the issues and the general impression was that Mr. Lin appreciated the depth of the issues and was open to ideas on how best to address them. In particular, Mr. Lin had mentioned that he looked forward to working with the future independent board members and advisors to be introduced by 2020’s management team.

Regarding the composition of the board, Mr. Lu said it was agreed that following the Redomestication, Mr. Lin would be the executive director and William Sharp, a current 2020 board member, would remain as an independent director. The other current 2020 members of the board would resign. A third board member had been identified but he had not yet accepted the invitation to join as of May 4, 2009. Mr. Lu explained that he would not be joining the board of the merged company as he believed he would be more helpful to Mr. Lin in the capacity of an advisor rather than a board member. Mr. Lin expressed he was fully supportive of this decision and was looking forward to working with Mr. Lu in the future. There was no specific or formal agreement or understanding as to the advisory role which Mr. Lu was asked to undertake in the future nor whether he would be compensated for such role. Mr. Lu then discussed the rationale relating to the Redomestication.

Following the discussions, the Board determined that the transaction valuation was fair and in the best interests of the stockholders of 2020 and passed resolutions authorizing the Acquisition as well as the Redomestication.

Signing of the Purchase Agreement

Following the authorization of the Board on May 4, 2009, the 2020 management team commenced working on the logistics relating to the execution of the Purchase Agreement. On May 5, 2009, Windrace informed 2020 that it was in final discussions with Elevatech to reach a solution on the preferred shares, and was confident of reaching consensus with Elevatech by the end of the week. In the meantime, counsel for 2020 and Windrace continued to work on a finalized version of the Purchase Agreement for execution. In parallel, the 2020 management team worked with Windrace to prepare the proxy statement for an anticipated submission within a week after the execution of the Purchase Agreement. On May 8, 2009, Windrace informed 2020 that Elevatech and Windrace had arrived at a consensus and had entered into a legally effective arrangement for the treatment of the preferred shares, thereby allowing the Purchase Agreement to be executed by the relevant parties. Counsel for 2020 finalized the final execution version and, as the signature pages of the Purchase Agreement had been executed in counterparts and held in escrow by the relevant counsel, the signatures pages were released and the Purchase Agreement was declared legally effective. On the same day, the 2020 management team instructed counsel to submit the Purchase Agreement to the SEC together with a corporate presentation.

Follow-up Board Meeting in August 2009

On August 20, 2009, the Board of 2020 met by conference telephone to discuss the current status of the Acquisition. The meeting opened with Seyfarth confirming that all board members save for Dr. Jianming Yu and Mr. Meng-Ann Lim were in attendance. It was then confirmed that all the board members had received the materials previously circulated to them on August 19, 2009 and had the opportunity to review such materials. The materials included:

An agenda for the meeting
The most recent working draft of the Form S-4 illustrating revisions since the previous filing with the SEC
Windrace’s audited financial statements for fiscal years ended 2008, 2007 and 2006 and the unaudited financial statements for the six-month period ending June 30, 2009
An analysis of Windrace’s recent financial performance
The most current corporate presentation relating to Windrace and the Acquisition
The proposed resolutions to be adopted at the meeting

George Lu then opened the meeting with a discussion of the recent financial performance of Windrace. Noting that Windrace had recorded declines in revenue of 20% for the first half of 2009 against the equivalent period in 2008, Mr. Lu pointed out that the revenues for the first half reflected actual deliveries which were based on orders placed in September 2008. The orders, in terms of volume, declined compared with the previous year because:

Chinese consumer demand was uncertain following the global economic crisis, of which the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers in the United States in September 2008 was one of the precipitating factors
The Beijing Summer Olympics which ended in August 2008 did not result in an immediately noticeable change in Chinese sports lifestyle
The decision not to proceed with the Hong Kong IPO due to market conditions necessitated a strategic review of Windrace’s future expansion plans

Windrace’s management anticipated after the order-taking was completed in September 2008 that there might be potentially weaker consumer demand in early 2009. In order to prevent overflow of inventory among the distributors, management decided to trim production and reduce deliveries, which resulted in reduced deliveries and hence falling revenues for the first and second quarters of 2009. Mr. Lu pointed out this conservative approach laid a foundation for recovery starting in the second quarter, when revenues exceeded the first quarter. Aside from the decline in sales volume which led to the revenue decline, there were two positive indications when comparing the results for the six months ended 2009 and the equivalent period in 2008: (i) gross margin improved from 26.9% to 29.0% and (ii) operating margins improved from 15.5% to 15.9%. Based on an assessment of the current order book and deliveries, as well as the improving consumer sentiment in China, the 2020 management team was of the view that Windrace’s management remained on track to achieve the 2009 earnings target stipulated in the Purchase Agreement. Mr. Lu asserted his view that the valuation calculations previously presented to the board remained unchanged and the Acquisition remained fair and reasonable from the perspective of the public shareholders of 2020. Mr. Lu ended the discussion on the financial results by reiterating that the 2020 management team would continue to monitor Windrace’s operations on an ongoing basis.

Next, Mr. Lu discussed the proposal of Windtech and Wisetech to invest up $30 million in Windrace at closing. As Windtech and Wisetech were affiliates of a private equity firm, New Horizon Capital, in which Dr. Jianming Yu, one of the 2020 directors, was one of the managing partners, Mr. Lu discussed the role of Dr. Yu and the investment process of New Horizon Capital. He stressed that the decision of New Horizon Capital to invest in Windrace was taken entirely separate from 2020 and that 2020 had no involvement in the deliberations of the investment committee of New Horizon Capital. However, for the purpose of maintaining good corporate governance, Dr. Yu had requested to be excused from the August 20 meeting to avoid any appearance of a conflict of interest.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Mr. Lu then continued on to discuss a question raised in the SEC review process as to whether the management and shareholders of Windrace would have control over the combined entity upon the completion of the Acquisition and the Redomestication. For the avoidance of doubt, Mr. Lu proposed that all present directors of 2020 and Exceed would resign from the respective boards upon the completion of the Acquisition and the Redomestication.

Lastly, Mr. Lu discussed the status of the application to have the primary listing of the combined entity relocated to either the NYSE or NASDAQ. Based on meetings with the representatives of both exchanges and discussions with the Windrace management, it was determined that it would be best for 2020 to apply to list on the NASDAQ Capital Market initially, prior to the consummation of the Acquisition, and subsequently for Exceed to do so. Mr. Lin, the principal stockholder and CEO of Windrace, had concurred with Mr. Lu on the decision to list on the NASDAQ Capital Market.

Following the discussions, the Board determined that, from a financial perspective, the terms and provisions of the Acquisition remained fair to, and consistent with the best interests of, the stockholders of 2020, and passed resolutions authorizing the Acquisition as well as the Redomestication.

THE PURCHASE AGREEMENT

The following discussion of the principal terms of the Purchase Agreement dated May 8, 2009 as supplemented by a supplemental agreement dated July 27, 2009 (the “Supplemental Agreement”) among 2020, Exceed, Windrace and the Sellers and a letter agreement among 2020, Exceed, Windrace and the Sellers dated September 9, 2009 (the “Letter Agreement”) is subject to, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to, the Purchase Agreement, the Supplemental Agreement, the Letter Agreement and the Escrow Agreement (as defined below). A copy of each agreement is attached as Annex A, Annex B, Annex H and Annex E, respectively, to this proxy statement/prospectus and is incorporated in this proxy statement/prospectus by reference.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE PURCHASE AGREEMENT

The Acquisition and consideration

Sellers

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, Exceed will acquire all of the issued ordinary shares in Windrace from the Sellers in consideration of Exceed issuing an aggregate of 17,008,633 new ordinary shares (“Additional Shares”) to the Sellers and/or their respective nominee(s).

New Windrace Investor(s)

In the event that Windrace enters into agreement(s) with any new Windrace investor(s) in relation to an equity investment in Windrace for cash consideration after the signing of the Purchase Agreement and before Closing and such new Windrace investor(s) has/have paid to Windrace and/or any other third parties the cash consideration in full, upon written request of Windrace, Exceed shall allot and issue to such new Windrace investor(s) and/or their respective nominee(s) on the date of closing of the Acquisition (“Closing”) 3,627,968 shares at a subscription price of US$7.58 per share (the “Investor Shares”). These shares are in addition to the Additional Shares and will be allotted and issued to the new Windrace investors at Closing. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, Windrace entered into an investment agreement with Windtech and Wisetech which provides for the issuance to Windtech and Wisetech of 3,627,968 Exceed ordinary shares at closing. Accordingly, the release schedules below take into account the issuance of these shares. In addition, Windtech and Wisetech may receive up to an additional 329,816 Exceed ordinary shares (the “Additional Investor Shares”) within six months following the closing. The shares to be issued to Windtech and Wisetech are the shares issuable to new Windrace investors under the Purchase Agreement, if certain conditions are met. See “Principal Terms of the NH Investment Agreement — The Investment”.

Escrow and release schedule for the Additional Shares

Subject to an escrow agreement to be entered into among 2020, Exceed, Windrace, the Sellers and the escrow agent (the “Escrow Agreement”) and the Purchase Agreement, a portion of the Additional Shares will be held in escrow and subject to release in installments to the Sellers in accordance with the following schedule, which assumes that there is the conversion into cash of 29.99% of the Public Shares:

For the avoidance of doubt, Additional Shares which are held in escrow will be regarded as issued and not outstanding shares and will not be counted toward the 51% threshold.

Any Additional Shares still being held in escrow which have not been released pursuant to the above schedules shall be cancelled.

Merger and Redomestication

Each of Exceed and 2020 undertakes that it will use all reasonable efforts to complete the Redomestication not later than 10 days after the date of Closing, whereby (i) 2020 will merge with and into Exceed as the merged entity (“Merged Entity”), (ii) the shares of the Merged Entity issued in the merger will be registered

82


 
 

TABLE OF CONTENTS

under the securities laws of the United States; and (iii) the listing of the Merged Entity will be relocated to the NASDAQ Capital Market or such other stock exchange as may be agreed between the parties thereto. Exceed will be the surviving entity, and the separate corporate existence of 2020 will cease at the effective time of the Redomestication. We currently expect that the Redomestication will occur immediately prior to the Acquisition.

Indemnification by Sellers and Founders

Each of the Sellers and the Founders has agreed to indemnify Exceed and 2020 from and against all losses, costs and expenses for their breach of warranties or undertakings under the Purchase Agreement. The maximum aggregate liability of all the Sellers and the Founders for any breach of the Purchase Agreement shall be capped at $6,800,000.

Any warrants of 2020 repurchased shall be cancelled. Currently, Windrace has not entered into any agreements or taken any action to purchase any warrants.

New Memorandum and Articles of Association of Exceed

As part of the Redomestication, 2020 will present the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association of Exceed currently adopted by 2020. 2020’s stockholders shall, if necessary, cause Exceed to amend and restate the Memorandum and Articles of Association to take effect on the date of the Closing.

PRINCIPAL TERMS OF THE NH INVESTMENT AGREEMENT

The investment

On July 27, 2009, Windrace entered into an investment agreement (“NH Investment Agreement”) with Wisetech Holdings Limited (“Wisetech”), Windtech Holdings Limited (“Windtech”) and Shuipan Lin.

On the same date, Windrace entered into an escrow agreement (“NH Escrow Agreement”) with Wisetech, Windtech, Shuipan Lin and an escrow agent.

Pursuant to the NH Investment Agreement, Wisetech and Windtech will invest an aggregate sum of $30,000,000 in Windrace in two installments:

1. An initial investment of $2,500,000, paid into escrow pursuant to the NH Escrow Agreement.
2. A subsequent investment of $27,500,000 payable upon the closing of the NH Investment Agreement.

On closing, Exceed shall issue to Wisetech and Windtech 3,627,968 Exceed ordinary shares, representing that number of Exceed ordinary shares equal to $27,500,000 divided by $7.58 per share.

85


 
 

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Six months after the date of the closing of the Acquisition, Windrace shall sell to Wisetech and Windtech up to 2,500,000 warrants for the purchase of common stock of Exceed, which Windrace has purchased in the open market. The sale of such warrants shall be paid for using the initial investment installment of $2,500,000.

In the event that less than 2,500,000 warrants are sold to Wisetech and Windtech because Windrace is unable to purchase 2,500,000 warrants or there is a residual balance of the initial investment installment after the sale of the warrants to Wisetech and Windtech because the aggregate cost of the warrants is less than $2,500,000, Exceed shall issue to Wisetech and Windtech that number of Exceed ordinary shares equal to the balance of unused funds divided by $7.58 per share. Details of Exceed shares that shall be issued and allotted to Wisetech and Windtech are set forth below:

(i) Assuming that no warrants are sold to Wisetech and Windtech:

   
  Number of Exceed
shares to be
allotted
  Percentage of
Post-Acquisition
Capitalization
of Exceed(1)
Wisetech     1,583,114       9.6
Windtech     2,374,670       14.4
Total     3,957,784       24.0
(ii) Assuming that 2,500,000 warrants are sold to Wisetech and Windtech, and the aggregate purchase price of such warrants was $2,500,000:

   
  Number of Exceed
shares to be
allotted
  Percentage of
Post-Acquisition
Capitalization
of Exceed(1)
Wisetech     1,451,187       9.0
Windtech     2,176,781       13.5
Total     3,627,968       22.5

(1) Percentage of shares of outstanding common stock excluding Escrowed Shares and assuming the maximum number of Public Shares are converted into cash.

The primary purpose of the warrant purchases is to provide additional inducement for Windtech and Wisetech to invest in Windrace in a manner that minimizes additional dilution to Exceed stockholders and, to the extent that Windrace was to purchase warrants in excess of 2,500,000, to mitigate the dilutive effect of the warrants for other public shareholders. Other than the warrants to be transferred to Windtech and Wisetech, Windrace may not sell or transfer any of the warrants it purchases to any other parties. Windrace currently contemplates that the warrant purchases would be made in the open market at market prices and that given the timing of the purchases such purchases would likely not be used as a mechanism to incent investors to vote in favor of the Acquisition. Windrace may enter into a limited number of private purchase transactions to acquire warrants at the market price. In either event, it is Windrace’s intent to structure the purchases in a manner that would not result in a tender offer. Windrace would not make such purchases at a point when it is in possession of material nonpublic information relating to Exceed or Windrace. We anticipate that in the Form 8-K, or similar applicable form, announcing the consummation of the Acquisition, Exceed would further note the commencement of the mandated warrant purchases. Exceed would file a subsequent Form 8-K, or other applicable form, providing the results of such purchases.

Conditions to closing of the NH Investment Agreement

Closing of the NH Investment Agreement is conditional on the following conditions being satisfied, or (save as regards paragraph (ii) below) waived by Wisetech and Windtech, on or before November 7, 2009 or such later date as the parties may from time to time agree in writing:

(i) the Purchase Agreement having become unconditional in all respects, meaning all conditions set out in Clause 3.1 of the Purchase Agreement having been fulfilled, including among others, the stockholders of 2020 having approved the Purchase Agreement and the transaction contemplated thereunder at a duly convened and held general meeting of 2020’s stockholders;

TABLE OF CONTENTS

(ii) due diligence on the Windrace group, including without limitation, its state of affairs, assets and liabilities, financial position and business operation, being completed to the satisfaction of Wisetech and Windtech;
(iii) Wisetech and Windtech having obtained a legal opinion of a qualified law firm in the place of incorporation of each Windrace group company in such form and substance to the satisfaction of Wisetech and Windtech;
(iv) all legally required authorizations, consents and approvals legally required in any and all applicable regulations to give effect to all the transactions contemplated under the NH Investment Agreement having been obtained to the satisfaction of Wisetech and Windtech and not revoked, and where any consent or approval is subject to conditions, such conditions being satisfied in the opinion of Wisetech and Windtech;
(v) the NH Investment Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder having been approved by the respective investment committees of Wisetech and Windtech; and
(vi) (a) Windrace’s warranties relating to its authority and power and the title to the shares and warrants in Exceed remaining true and accurate in all respects and not misleading in any respect as of the date of closing by reference to the facts and circumstances subsisting as at the date of closing; and (b) the other Windrace’s warranties remaining true and accurate in all material respects and not misleading in any material respect as of the date of closing by reference to the facts and circumstances subsisting as at the date of closing.

Representations and Warranties

The representations and warranties made by Windrace and Mr. Lin to Windtech and Wisetech in the NH Investment Agreement are substantially similar to those made by Windrace and Mr. Lin to 2020 and Exceed in the Purchase Agreement. In addition, Windtech and Wisetech have been provided with representations and warranties relating to 2020 and Exceed which were provided by the latter entities to Windrace and Mr. Lin. Mr. Lin and Windrace separately provided representations and warranties relating to the title of the warrants to be sold to Windtech and Wisetech.

Indemnifications

The indemnifications made by Windrace and Mr. Lin to Windtech and Wisetech in the NH Investment Agreement are substantially similar to those made by Windrace and Mr. Lin to 2020 and Exceed in the Purchase Agreement.

Affiliations of Wisetech and Windtech

Dr. Jianming Yu (“Dr. Yu”), a director of 2020 and an indirect stockholder of 2020 through i) his ownership interests in Fame Mount Limited, a company solely owned by Dr. Yu (“Fame Mount”), ii) his 10% shareholding interest in 2020 International Capital Group Limited (“2020 International”), and iii) an indirect owner of warrants to purchase common stock of 2020 through his ownership of Win Wide, an entity in which George Lu, his spouse and Dr. Yu collectively own 67% of the outstanding interests (“Win Wide”).

Dr. Yu is one of the authorized signatories for each of Wisetech and Windtech. Dr. Yu does not own any shares of Wisetech or Windtech directly. Dr. Yu indirectly holds shares representing 1.2% of Wisetech and 2% of Windtech through NH Partners and NH Partners III, respectively, on behalf of the senior management team of New Horizon Capital, excluding himself, pursuant to the written resolutions of the investment committees of NH Partners and NH Partners III, and Dr. Yu does not receive any economic benefit from such arrangement.

Upon closing of the NH Investment Agreement and the Acquisition, Dr. Yu’s shareholding interest in Exceed shall be held through 2020 International, Fame Mount and Win Wide.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Other rights

Neither 2020 International nor Windtech and Wisetech will have any representation on the Board of Directors post-closing at the listed company level. Each of 2020 International and Windtech and Wisetech (collectively) have the right to nominate one representative to the board of certain subsidiaries of Windrace. In any event, Mr. Lin retains control over such boards as he appoints three out of the five board seats at each company. While the NH Investment Agreement expressly provides that 2020, rather than 2020 International, is entitled to designate a director of the subsidiaries, the parties have agreed in principle that 2020 International will be entitled to designate such representatives.

Effect when closing of the Purchase Agreement does not occur

If closing of the Purchase Agreement does not occur on or before November 7, 2009, Windtech and Wisetech will be entitled to receive the amount they have invested in Windrace plus interest at a rate of 10% per annum payable by Mr. Lin.

2020 REDOMESTICATION

General

2020 will redomesticate into the BVI by way of merging into Exceed and in that process change its name and corporate documents and establish a new board of directors.

We believe that the Redomestication to the BVI will give the surviving and continuing company more flexibility and simplicity in various corporate transactions. We also believe that being based in the BVI will facilitate and reduce the costs of any further reorganization of Windrace and permit the creation and acquisition of additional companies in Asia as the business of Windrace expands.

We believe that after the Redomestication there will be reduced taxes and other costs of doing business by the combined entity in the future because its operations will be in China after the Acquisition. The BVI have adopted a corporate statute, the BVI Business Companies Act, 2004, that allows for flexible and creative corporate structures for international businesses. Further, BVI business companies are wholly exempt from BVI tax on their income. As part of the Redomestication, 2020’s corporate name will become Exceed Company Ltd., the name of the surviving entity as part of the merger.

The full texts of the Plan and Articles of Merger and the amended and restated Memorandum and Articles of Association of Exceed are set forth as Annex C and Annex F, respectively to this proxy statement/prospectus and are incorporated herein by reference. The discussion of these documents and the comparison of rights set forth below are qualified in their entirety by reference to those annexes.

Adoption of the Redomestication

The 2020 board of directors has unanimously approved the Redomestication Proposal and recommends that the stockholders of 2020 approve it.

The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares outstanding of 2020 is required for approval of the Redomestication Proposal. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have the effect of a vote against the proposal.

The Redomestication will not be implemented if the Acquisition Proposal is not approved. Similarly, the Acquisition will not be consummated if 2020 does not reincorporate in the BVI.

The board of directors unanimously recommends a vote “FOR” the approval of the Redomestication Proposal.

Plan of Merger

The proposed merger will be achieved by the merger of 2020, a Delaware company, with and into Exceed, a BVI business company, with Exceed being the surviving entity. The amended and restated Memorandum of Association and the Articles of Association, the equivalent of a certificate of incorporation and bylaws of a United States company, of the surviving company will be those of Exceed, written in compliance with BVI law. The effectiveness of the merger is conditioned upon the filing by both 2020 and Exceed of a certificate of merger with the State of Delaware and articles of merger with the BVI Registry of Corporate Affairs. Upon the filing of these documents, 2020 will cease its corporate existence in the State of Delaware.

At the time of the Redomestication, the current outstanding Exceed ordinary shares owned by 2020 will be cancelled and one new ordinary share of Exceed will be issued for each issued and outstanding share of common stock of 2020 held by our stockholders on the effective date of the reincorporation. Each share of 2020 that is owned by 2020 shareholders will be canceled and assume the status of Exceed ordinary shares. The 2020 shares no longer will be eligible to trade on the NYSE Amex market. The shares of Exceed will be eligible to trade in their place beginning on or about the effective date of the reincorporation under a new CUSIP number and trading symbol. The symbol will be assigned if the market will be the NYSE Amex or will be as determined with the approval of NASDAQ if that is where the shares will trade upon consummation of the equity acquisition.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Stock Certificate Delivery Requirements

You do not need to replace the current stock certificate of 2020 after the Redomestication. DO NOT DESTROY YOUR CURRENT STOCK CERTIFICATES ISSUED BY 2020. The issued and outstanding stock certificates of 2020 will represent the rights that our stockholders will have in Exceed. Stockholders, however, may submit their stock certificates to our transfer agent, Continental Stock Transfer and Trust Company, 17 Battery Place, New York, New York 10004 (212-509-4000) for new certificates, subject to normal requirements as to proper endorsement, signature guarantee, if required, and payment of applicable taxes.

If you have lost your certificate, you can contact our transfer agent to have a new certificate issued. You may be requested to post a bond or other security to reimburse us for any damages or costs if the lost certificate is later delivered for sale or transfer.

Appraisal Rights

If the Redomestication occurs, 2020’s stockholders who do not vote in favor of the Redomestication have the right to demand in cash the fair value of their 2020 shares (exclusive of any element of value arising from the accomplishment or expectation of the Redomestication) instead of taking the surviving corporation’s common stock. Holders of options or warrants to purchase 2020 common stock do not have any appraisal rights.

2020 common stock will not be converted into surviving corporation ordinary shares if the holder of the shares validly exercises and perfects statutory appraisal rights with respect to the shares. When and if the holder of those shares withdraws the demand for appraisal or otherwise becomes ineligible to exercise appraisal rights, the shares will automatically convert into shares of the surviving corporation ordinary shares on the same basis as the other shares that convert in the Redomestication.

To perfect the appraisal right, stockholders must not vote in favor of the Redomestication Proposal and must then mail or deliver a written demand for appraisal, before the taking of the vote on the proposal at the special meeting of 2020’s stockholders. This written demand must be separate from any written consent or vote against approval of the Redomestication Proposal. Voting against approval of the Redomestication or failing to vote on the proposal will not constitute a demand for appraisal within the meaning of Section 262 of the Delaware General Corporations Law. The written demand should be delivered to:

2020 ChinaCap Acquirco, Inc.
c/o Surfmax Corporation
221 Boston Post Road East
Suite 410
Marlborough, Massachusetts 01753
Attn: George Lu

A written demand for appraisal of the 2020 shares is only effective if it reasonably informs 2020 of the identity of the stockholder and that the stockholder demands appraisal of his, her or its shares. Accordingly, the written demand for appraisal should specify the stockholder’s name and mailing address, the number of shares of 2020 stock owned and that the stockholder is thereby demanding appraisal.

A dissenting stockholder who is the record owner, such as a broker, of 2020 stock as a nominee for others, may exercise a right of appraisal with respect to the common stock held for one or more beneficial owners, while not exercising such right for other beneficial owners. In that case, the record stockholder should specify in the written demand the number of shares as to which the stockholder wishes to demand appraisal. If the written demand does not expressly specify the number of shares, 2020 will assume that the written demand covers all the shares of 2020 common stock that are in the nominee’s name.

It is important that 2020 receives all written demands promptly as provided above. Failure to comply with any of these conditions will result in the stockholder only being entitled to receiving the shares of Exceed in the Redomestication.

90


 
 

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Dissenting stockholders must either vote not to approve the Redomestication Proposal or abstain. If a dissenting stockholder votes in favor of the Redomestication Proposal, the stockholder’s right to appraisal will terminate, even if the stockholder previously filed a written demand for appraisal. A vote against approval of the Redomestication is not required in order to exercise appraisal rights.

Dissenters must continuously hold their shares of 2020 common stock from the date they make the demand for appraisal through the closing of the Redomestication. Record holders of 2020 common stock who make the appraisal demand, but subsequently sell their shares of common stock prior to the merger will lose any right to appraisal in respect of the sold shares.

Within 120 days after the effective date of the merger, either the surviving corporation or any stockholder who has complied with the conditions of Delaware law may file a petition in the Delaware Court of Chancery demanding that the Chancery Court determine the fair value of the shares of stock held by all the stockholders who are entitled to appraisal rights. Neither 2020 nor the surviving corporation has any intention at this time of filing this petition. Because the surviving corporation has no obligation to file this petition, if no dissenting stockholder files this petition within 120 days after the closing, the dissenting stockholder may lose its rights of appraisal.

A dissenting stockholder who no longer wishes to exercise appraisal rights must withdraw its demand for appraisal rights within 60 days after the effective date of the Redomestication. A stockholder also may withdraw a demand for appraisal after 60 days from the effective date of the merger, but only with the written consent of the surviving corporation. If a stockholder effectively withdraws a demand for appraisal rights, the stockholder will receive the merger consideration provided in the Redomestication.

If the stockholder is in compliance with the demand requirements, the stockholder is entitled to receive from the surviving corporation a statement setting forth the aggregate number of shares for which appraisal has been demanded and the aggregate number of stockholders making the demand. To obtain this statement, the stockholder must make a written demand to the surviving corporation within 120 days after the effective date of the Redomestication. The surviving corporation must make the statement before the later of (i) the 10th day after receiving such request or (ii) the 10th day after the expiration of the period within which demand for appraisal rights must be made.

If a Chancery Court proceeding is commenced by a dissenting stockholder, the surviving corporation has 20 days to provide the court with the names of dissenting stockholders with which it has not settled a claim for appraisal. The court may then send notice of a hearing to all the stockholders demanding appraisal rights, and then conduct a hearing to determine whether the stockholders have fully complied with Section 262 and their entitlement to the appraisal rights under that section. The court may require deposit of the stock certificates of dissenting stockholders with the court. A dissenting stockholder who does not follow this requirement may be dismissed from the proceeding.

The Chancery Court will determine the value of the shares. To determine the fair value, the court will consider all relevant factors, and will exclude any appreciation or depreciation due to the anticipation or accomplishment of the Redomestication. Upon determination of the value, the surviving corporation will be ordered to pay that value, together with simple or compound interest as the court directs. To receive payment, the dissenting stockholders must surrender their stock certificates to the surviving corporation.

The costs of the appraisal proceeding may be assessed against the surviving corporation and the stockholders as the court determines.

The text of Section 262 of the Delaware General Corporation Law setting forth the appraisal rights of the stockholder of a Delaware corporation is attached hereto as Annex G to this proxy statement/prospectus.

Indemnification of Officers and Directors

As indicated in the comparison of charter provisions, a director of a company formed under the laws of the BVI is obligated to act honestly and in good faith and exercise care, diligence and skill that a reasonable director would exercise in the same circumstances taking into account the factual circumstances. The amended and restated Memorandum and Articles of Association of Exceed do not relieve directors, officers or agents from personal liability arising from the management of the business of the company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Section 132 of the Act provides that Exceed may indemnify directors, officers and agents against all expenses, including legal fees and judgments, fines and settlements, in respect of actions related to their employment. The Purchase Agreement provides indemnification in respect of the representations, warranties and covenants of the parties, some of which may relate to the securities laws of the United States. There are no agreements that relieve directors from personal liability. Exceed is permitted and intends to obtain director and officer insurance.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, Exceed and 2020 have been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy, as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and is, therefore, unenforceable.

Defenses Against Hostile Takeovers

While the following discussion summarizes the reasons for, and the operation and effects of, the principal provisions of Exceed’s amended and restated Memorandum and Articles of Association that management has identified as potentially having an anti-takeover effect, it is not intended to be a complete description of all potential anti-takeover effects, and it is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full texts of Exceed’s Memorandum and Articles of Association, which are filed as Annex F to this proxy statement/prospectus and which is incorporated herein by reference.

In general, the anti-takeover provisions of Exceed’s amended and restated Memorandum and Articles of Association are designed to minimize susceptibility to sudden acquisitions of control that have not been negotiated with and approved by Exceed’s board of directors. As a result, these provisions may tend to make it more difficult to remove the incumbent members of the board of directors. The provisions would not prohibit an acquisition of control of Exceed or a tender offer for all of Exceed’s shares. The provisions are designed to discourage any tender offer or other attempt to gain control of Exceed in a transaction that is not approved by the board of directors, by making it more difficult for a person or group to obtain control of Exceed in a short time and then impose its will on the remaining shareholders. However, to the extent these provisions successfully discourage the Acquisition of control of Exceed or tender offers for all or part of Exceed’s shares without approval of the board of directors, they may have the effect of preventing an acquisition or tender offer which might be viewed by shareholders to be in their best interests.

Tender offers or other non-open market acquisitions of shares will generally be made at prices above the prevailing market price of Exceed’s shares. In addition, acquisitions of stock by persons attempting to acquire control through market purchases may cause the market price of the stock to reach levels that are higher than would otherwise be the case. Anti-takeover provisions may discourage such purchases, particularly those of less than all of Exceed’s shares, and may thereby deprive shareholders of an opportunity to sell their stock at a temporarily higher price. These provisions may therefore decrease the likelihood that a tender offer will be made, and, if made, will be successful. As a result, the provisions may adversely affect those shareholders who would desire to participate in a tender offer. These provisions may also serve to insulate incumbent management from change and to discourage not only sudden or hostile takeover attempts, but also any attempts to acquire control that are not approved by the board of directors, whether or not shareholders deem such transactions to be in their best interest.

Shareholder Meetings.  BVI law provides that shareholder meetings shall be convened by the board of directors at any time or upon the written request of shareholders holding more than 30% of the votes of the outstanding voting shares of the company. Exceed’s Articles of Association provide that annual shareholder meetings for the election of directors may be called by the directors or by shareholders holding more than 30% of the outstanding voting shares of Exceed.

97


 
 

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Number of Directors and Filling Vacancies on the Board of Directors.  BVI law requires that the board of directors of a company consist of one or more members, with a minimum of one director. Exceed’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association provide for no maximum number of directors, subject to any subsequent amendment to change the number of directors. The power to determine the number of directors is vested in the board of directors and the shareholders. The power to fill vacancies, whether occurring by reason of an increase in the number of directors or by resignation, is vested primarily in the board of directors. Directors may be removed by the members for cause or without cause on a vote of a majority of the shareholders passed at a meeting called for the purpose of removing the directors of by written resolution or with cause by a resolution of directors passed at a meeting or by written resolution.

Election of Directors.  Under British Virgin Islands law, there is no cumulative voting by shareholders for the election of the directors. The absence of cumulative voting rights effectively means that the holders of a majority of the shares voted at a shareholders meeting may, if they so choose, elect all directors of Exceed, thus precluding a small group of shareholders from controlling the election of one or more representatives to the board of directors.

Advance Notice Requirements for Nomination of Directors and Presentation of New Business at Meetings of Shareholders; Action by Written Consent.  The Exceed Articles of Association will provide for advance notice requirements for shareholder proposals and nominations for director. Generally, to be timely, notice must be delivered to the secretary of Exceed at its principal executive offices not fewer than 30 days nor more than 60 days prior to the first anniversary date of the annual meeting for the preceding year. Special meetings may be called by Exceed’s board of directors or by stockholders comprising 50% of the combined voting power of the holders of the then outstanding shares entitled to vote. These provisions make it more procedurally difficult for a stockholder to place a proposal or nomination on the meeting agenda or to take action without a meeting, and therefore may reduce the likelihood that a stockholder will seek to take independent action to replace directors or seek a stockholder vote with respect to other matters that are not supported by management.

Rights of Minority Shareholders

Under the laws of the BVI there is statutory protection of minority shareholders under the Act. The principal protection under the Act is that shareholders may bring an action to enforce the constituent documents of the company, the Memorandum and Articles of Association. The Act sets forth the procedure to bring such an action. Shareholders are entitled to have the affairs of the company conducted in accordance with the general law and the company’s memorandum and articles of association. Exceed is obliged to hold an annual general meeting under its articles of association and provide for the election of directors. Companies may appoint an independent auditor and shareholders may receive the audited financial statements of the company, but are not entitled to do so under the Act.

The Act has introduced a series of remedies available to members. Where a company incorporated under the Act conducts some activity which breaches the Act or the company’s memorandum and articles of association, the court can issue a restraining or compliance order. Members can now also bring derivative, personal and representative actions under certain circumstances. The traditional English basis for members’ remedies have also been incorporated into the Act — where a member of a company considers that the affairs of the company have been, are being or are likely to be conducted in a manner likely to be oppressive, unfairly discriminating or unfairly prejudicial to him, he may now apply to the BVI court for an order on such conduct.

Any member of a company may apply to the BVI court for the appointment of a liquidator for the company and the court may appoint a liquidator for the company if it is of the opinion that it is just and equitable to do so.

The Act provides that any member of a company is entitled to payment of the fair value of his shares upon dissenting from any of the following: (a) a merger; (b) a consolidation; (c) any sale, transfer, lease, exchange or other disposition of more than 50 per cent in value of the assets or business of the company if not made in the usual or regular course of the business carried on by the company but not including (i) a disposition pursuant to an order of the court having jurisdiction in the matter, (ii) a disposition for money on terms requiring all or substantially all net proceeds to be distributed to the members in accordance with their

98


 
 

TABLE OF CONTENTS

respective interest within one year after the date of disposition, or (iii) a transfer pursuant to the power of the directors to transfer assets for the protection thereof; (d) a redemption of 10 percent, or fewer of the issued shares of the company required by the holders of 90 percent, or more of the shares of the company pursuant to the terms of the Act; and (e) an arrangement, if permitted by the court.

Generally any other claims against a company by its shareholders must be based on the general laws of contract or tort applicable in the British Virgin Islands or their individual rights as shareholders as established by the company’s memorandum and articles of association.

Under the law of Delaware, the rights of minority shareholders are similar to that which will be applicable to the shareholders of Exceed. The principal difference, as discussed elsewhere will be the methodology and the forum for bringing such an action. It is also generally the case that the Delaware courts can exercise wide latitude in interpretation and wide discretion in fashioning remedies as they think fits the circumstances for the regulation of the company. Under English precepts of the law of minority shareholders, there is generally a more restricted approach to the enforcement of the rights through the interpretation of the law, memorandum and articles of association.

Material United States Federal Income Tax Considerations

General

The following is a summary of the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of (a) the Redomestication to 2020 and the holders of 2020’s common stock, (b) the Acquisition to Exceed, and (c) the ownership of ordinary shares in Exceed following the Redomestication and Acquisition. Subject to the assumptions, limitations, and qualifications stated herein and in Annex C to this Registration Statement, the statements as to United States federal income tax law and all U.S. federal income tax conclusions set forth in this section, “Material United States Federal Income Tax Considerations”, are the opinion of Seyfarth Shaw LLP, our United States special tax counsel. The discussion below of the U.S. federal income tax consequences applies to “U.S. Holders”, which is defined as:

an individual citizen or resident of the United States;
a corporation (or other entity treated as a corporation) that is created or organized (or treated as created or organized) in or under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia;
an estate whose income is includible in gross income for U.S. federal income tax purposes regardless of its source; or
a trust if (i) a U.S. court can exercise primary supervision over the trust’s administration and one or more U.S. persons are authorized to control all substantial decisions of the trust, or (ii) it has a valid election in effect under applicable U.S. Treasury regulations to be treated as a U.S. person.

If a 2020 stockholder is not described as a U.S. Holder and is not an entity treated as a partnership or other pass-through entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes, such owner will be considered a “Non-U.S. Holder.” The U.S. federal income tax consequences applicable to Non-U.S. Holders of owning ordinary shares in Exceed are described below under the heading — Tax Consequences to Non-U.S. Holders of Ordinary Shares of Exceed.”

This summary is based on the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), its legislative history, Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder, published rulings and court decisions, all as currently in effect. These authorities are subject to change or differing interpretations, possibly on a retroactive basis. In particular, the U.S. federal income tax laws are currently under review by Congress. Such review could result in the enactment of legislation which may be given retroactive effect and could have an impact on this discussion.

This discussion does not address all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation that may be relevant to Exceed, 2020, any particular 2020 stockholder or Exceed stockholder based on such holder’s individual circumstances. In particular, this discussion considers only holders that own and hold 2020 common stock, and will acquire the ordinary shares of Exceed as a result of owning 2020 common stock and own and hold such

99


 
 

TABLE OF CONTENTS

ordinary shares as capital assets within the meaning of Code Section 1221. In addition, this discussion does not address the potential application of the alternative minimum tax or the U.S. federal income tax consequences to holders that are subject to special rules, including:

financial institutions or “financial services entities;”
broker-dealers;
taxpayers who have elected mark-to-market accounting;
tax-exempt entities;
governments or agencies or instrumentalities thereof;
insurance companies;
regulated investment companies;
real estate investment trusts;
certain expatriates or former long-term residents of the United States;
persons that actually or constructively own 10% or more of our voting shares; or
persons whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar.

This discussion does not address any aspect of U.S. federal non-income tax laws, such as gift or estate tax laws, or state, local or non-U.S. tax laws. Additionally, the discussion does not consider the tax treatment of partnerships or other pass-through entities or persons who hold 2020 common stock, or will hold the ordinary shares of Exceed, through such entities. If a partnership (or other entity classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) is the beneficial owner of 2020 common stock (or the ordinary shares of Exceed), the U.S. federal income tax treatment of a partner in the partnership will generally depend on the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership.

2020 has not sought, and will not seek, a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) as to any U.S. federal income tax consequence described herein. The IRS may disagree with the discussion herein, and its determination may be upheld by a court.

Because of the absence of guidance directly on point as to how the Redomestication and Acquisition would be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes, it is not possible to predict what contrary positions, if any, may be taken by the Internal Revenue Service or a court considering these tax issues and whether such positions would be materially different from those discussed in this section (although the disclosure does describe certain possible alternative tax consequences). As a result, the word “should” and not “will” is often used throughout this section in order to indicate a degree of uncertainty concerning these issues that is greater than would be indicated by a “will” level of opinion, but is less than would be indicated by a “more-likely-than-not” level of opinion. If the Internal Revenue Service were to assert a contrary position with respect to the tax treatment of an aspect of the transactions described in this section, and prevail with respect to that assertion, security holders might be subject to additional U.S. federal income tax consequences which, in turn, could negatively affect the security holders as described herein.

BECAUSE OF THE COMPLEXITY OF THE TAX LAWS AND BECAUSE THE TAX CONSEQUENCES TO 2020, EXCEED OR ANY PARTICULAR HOLDER OF 2020 COMMON STOCK OR OF THE ORDINARY SHARES OF EXCEED FOLLOWING THE REDOMESTICATION AND THE ACQUISITION MAY BE AFFECTED BY MATTERS NOT DISCUSSED HEREIN, EACH HOLDER OF 2020 COMMON STOCK IS URGED TO CONSULT WITH ITS TAX ADVISOR WITH RESPECT TO THE SPECIFIC TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE REDOMESTICATION AND THE ACQUISITION, AND THE OWNERSHIP AND DISPOSITION OF 2020 COMMON STOCK AND OF THE ORDINARY SHARES OF EXCEED INCLUDING THE APPLICABILITY AND EFFECT OF STATE, LOCAL AND NON-U.S. TAX LAWS, AS WELL AS U.S. FEDERAL TAX LAWS.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Redomestication – In General

The Redomestication should qualify as a reorganization for U.S. federal income tax purposes under Code Section 368(a). However, due to the absence of guidance directly on point on how the provisions of Code Section 368(a) apply in the case of a merger of a corporation (such as 2020) with no active business and only investment-type assets, this result is not free from doubt.

Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders of 2020 Common Stock

If the Redomestication qualifies as a reorganization under Code Section 368(a), a U.S. Holder of 2020 common stock should not recognize gain or loss upon the exchange of such stock solely for equivalent ordinary shares of Exceed pursuant to the Redomestication. A U.S. Holder’s aggregate tax basis in the ordinary shares of Exceed received in connection with the Redomestication should be the same as the aggregate tax basis of the 2020 common stock surrendered in the transaction. In addition, the holding period of the ordinary shares in Exceed received in the Redomestication should include the holding period of the 2020 common stock surrendered in the Redomestication. A shareholder of 2020 who converts its shares of common stock for cash should recognize gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between the amount of cash received for such shares and its adjusted tax basis in such shares.

If the Redomestication fails to qualify as a reorganization under Code section 368(a).

If the Redomestication does not qualify as a reorganization under Section 368(a), U.S. Holders of 2020 common stock may recognize gain in an amount equal to the difference between the fair market of the ordinary shares of Exceed received in connection with the Redomestication and the basis of the 2020 common stock surrendered in the Redomestication.

If the Redomestication Qualifies as a Reorganization under Code § 368(a)

  

Tax Consequences Resulting from Redomestication

Under Section 367 of the Code, 2020 may recognize gain (but not loss) realized with respect to any of its assets as a result of the Redomestication in an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the fair market value of each such asset over such asset’s adjusted tax basis at the effective time of the Redomestication.

Tax Consequences to 2020 and Exceed

Potential Tax Consequences of Section 7874

Code Section 7874(b) (“Section 7874(b)”) generally provides that a corporation organized outside the United States which acquires, directly or indirectly, pursuant to a plan or series of related transactions, substantially all of the assets of a corporation organized in the United States will be treated as a domestic corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes if shareholders of the acquired corporation, by reason of owning shares of the acquired corporation, own at least 80% of either the voting power or the value of the stock of the acquiring corporation after the acquisition. If Section 7874(b) were to apply to the Redomestication, then Exceed, as the surviving entity, would be subject to U.S. federal income tax on its worldwide taxable income following the Redomestication and Acquisition as if it were a domestic (U.S.) corporation; in such case 2020 should not recognize gain (or loss) as a result of the Redomestication.

After the completion of the Acquisition, which we anticipate will occur immediately after and as part of the same plan as the Redomestication, it is expected that the former shareholders of 2020 will own, by reason of their ownership of 2020 shares, less than 50% of the shares of Exceed. Accordingly, it is not expected that Section 7874(b) will apply to treat Exceed as a domestic corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes. However, due to the absence of complete guidance on how the rules of Section 7874(b) will apply to the transactions contemplated by the Redomestication and the Acquisition, this result is not free from doubt. If, for example, the Redomestication were ultimately determined for purposes of Section 7874(b) as occurring prior to, and separate from, the Acquisition, the stock ownership threshold for applicability of Section 7874(b) generally would be satisfied (and Exceed would be treated as a domestic corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) because the shareholders of 2020, by reason of owning shares of 2020, would own all of the shares of Exceed immediately after the Redomestication. Although the temporary regulations promulgated

101


 
 

TABLE OF CONTENTS

under Code Section 7874 support the view that the Redomestication and the Acquisition should be viewed together for purposes of determining whether Section 7874(b) is applicable, because of the absence of guidance under Section 7874(b) directly on point, this result is not certain. The balance of the discussion set forth in this summary entitled Material United States Federal Income Tax Considerations,” assumes that Exceed will be treated as a foreign corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Acquisition to Exceed

Exceed will not recognize any gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of the Acquisition.

U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders of Ordinary Shares of Exceed

Taxation of Distributions Paid on Ordinary Shares

Subject to the passive foreign investment company (“PFIC”) rules discussed below, a U.S. Holder will be required to include in gross income as ordinary income the amount of any dividend paid on the ordinary shares of Exceed. A distribution on such ordinary shares will be treated as a dividend for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent the distribution is paid out of current or accumulated earnings and profits of Exceed (as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes). Such dividend will not be eligible for the dividends-received deduction generally allowed to U.S. corporations in respect of dividends received from other U.S. corporations. Distributions in excess of such earnings and profits will be applied against and reduce the U.S. Holder’s basis in its ordinary shares in Exceed and, to the extent in excess of such basis, will be treated as gain from the sale or exchange of such ordinary shares.

With respect to non-corporate U.S. Holders for taxable years beginning before January 1, 2011, dividends may be taxed at the lower applicable long-term capital gains rate (see “— Taxation on the Disposition of Ordinary Shares” below) provided that (1) the ordinary shares of Exceed are readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States, (2) Exceed is not a PFIC, as discussed below, for either the taxable year in which the dividend was paid or the preceding taxable year, and (3) certain holding period requirements are met. Under published IRS authority, ordinary shares are considered for purposes of clause (1) above to be readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States only if they are listed on certain exchanges, which presently include the NASDAQ Capital Market (the only exchange on which the ordinary shares of Exceed are currently anticipated to be listed and traded). Accordingly, it is possible that dividends paid on the ordinary shares of Exceed may qualify for the lower rate. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the availability of the lower rate for any dividends paid with respect to the shares of Exceed.

Taxation on the Disposition of Ordinary Shares

Upon a sale or other taxable disposition of the ordinary shares in Exceed, and subject to the PFIC rules discussed below, a U.S. Holder will recognize capital gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between the amount realized and the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the ordinary shares.

Capital gains recognized by U.S. Holders generally are subject to U.S. federal income tax at the same rate as ordinary income, except that long-term capital gains recognized by non-corporate U.S. Holders are generally subject to U.S. federal income tax at a maximum rate of 15% for taxable years beginning before January 1, 2011 (and 20% thereafter). Capital gain or loss will constitute long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. Holder’s holding period for the ordinary shares exceeds one year. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to various limitations.

Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules

A foreign corporation will be a passive foreign investment company, or PFIC, if at least 75% of its gross income in a taxable year, including its pro rata share of the gross income of any company in which it is considered to own at least 25% of the shares by value, is passive income. Alternatively, a foreign corporation will be a PFIC if at least 50% of its assets in a taxable year, ordinarily determined based on fair market value and averaged quarterly over the year, including its pro rata share of the assets of any company in which it is considered to own at least 25% of the shares by value, are held for the production of, or produce, passive income. Passive income generally includes dividends, interest, rents, royalties, and gains from the disposition of passive assets.

102


 
 

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Based on the expected composition of the assets and income of Exceed and its subsidiaries after the Redomestication and the Acquisition, 2020’s valuation of the business of Exceed and its subsidiaries, and the anticipated cash deployments at the time of and shortly after these transactions, it is not anticipated that Exceed will be treated as a PFIC following the Redomestication and the Acquisition; however, there can be no assurance of this. Moreover, the actual PFIC status of Exceed for any taxable year will not be determinable until after the end of its taxable year, and accordingly there can be no assurance with respect to the status of Exceed as a PFIC for the current taxable year or any future taxable year.

If Exceed were a PFIC for any taxable year during which a U.S. Holder held its ordinary shares, and the U.S. Holder did not make either a timely qualified electing fund (“QEF”) election for the first taxable year of its holding period for the ordinary shares or a mark-to-market election, as described below, such holder will be subject to special rules with respect to:

any gain recognized by the U.S. Holder on the sale or other disposition of its ordinary shares; and
any excess distribution made to the U.S. Holder (generally, any distributions to such U.S. Holder during a taxable year that are greater than 125% of the average annual distributions received by such U.S. Holder in respect of the ordinary shares of Exceed during the three preceding taxable years or, if shorter, such U.S. Holder’s holding period for the ordinary shares).

Under these rules,

the U.S. Holder’s gain or excess distribution will be allocated ratably over the U.S. Holder’s holding period for the ordinary shares;
the amount allocated to the taxable year in which the U.S. Holder recognized the gain or excess distribution will be taxed as ordinary income;
the amount allocated to each prior year, with certain exceptions, will be taxed at the highest tax rate in effect for that year and applicable to the U.S. Holder; and
the interest charge generally applicable to underpayments of tax will be imposed in respect of the tax attributable to each such year.

In addition, if Exceed were a PFIC, a U.S. Holder who acquires its ordinary shares from a deceased U.S. Holder who dies before January 1, 2010 generally will be denied the step-up of U.S. federal income tax basis in such shares to their fair market value at the date of the deceased holder’s death. Instead, such U.S. Holder would have a tax basis in such shares equal to the deceased holder’s tax basis, if lower.

In general, a U.S. Holder may avoid the PFIC tax consequences described above in respect to its ordinary shares in Exceed by making a timely QEF election to include in income its pro rata share of Exceed’s net capital gains (as long-term capital gain) and other earnings and profits (as ordinary income), on a current basis, in each case whether or not distributed. A U.S. Holder may make a separate election to defer the payment of taxes on undistributed income inclusions under the QEF rules, but if deferred, any such taxes will be subject to an interest charge.

The QEF election is made on a shareholder-by-shareholder basis and, once made, can be revoked only with the consent of the IRS. A U.S. Holder generally makes a QEF election by attaching a completed IRS Form 8621 (Return by a Shareholder of a Passive Foreign Investment Company or Qualified Electing Fund), including the information provided in a PFIC annual information statement, to a timely filed U.S. federal income tax return for the tax year to which the election relates. Retroactive QEF elections generally may be made only by filing a protective statement with such return and if certain other conditions are met or with the consent of the IRS.

In order to comply with the requirements of a QEF election, a U.S. Holder must receive certain information from Exceed. Upon request from a U.S. Holder, Exceed will endeavor to provide to the U.S. Holder, no later than 90 days after the request, such information as the IRS may require, including a PFIC annual information statement, in order to enable the U.S. Holder to make and maintain a QEF election. However, there is no assurance that Exceed will have timely knowledge of its status as a PFIC in the future or of the required information to be provided.

103


 
 

TABLE OF CONTENTS

If a U.S. Holder has elected the application of the QEF rules to its ordinary shares in Exceed, and the special tax and interest charge rules do not apply to such stock (because of a timely QEF election for the first tax year of the U.S. Holder’s holding period for such shares or a purge of the PFIC taint pursuant to a purging election), any gain recognized on the appreciation of such shares would be taxable as capital gain and no interest charge will be imposed. As discussed above, U.S. Holders of a QEF are currently taxed on their pro rata shares of the QEF’s earnings and profits, whether or not distributed. In such case, a subsequent distribution of such earnings and profits that were previously included in income would not be taxable as a dividend. The tax basis of a U.S. Holder’s shares in a QEF will be increased by amounts that are included in income, and decreased by amounts distributed but not taxed as dividends, under the above rules. Similar basis adjustments apply to property if by reason of holding such property the U.S. Holder is treated under the applicable attribution rules as owning shares in a QEF.

Although a determination as to Exceed’s PFIC status will be made annually, an initial determination that it is a PFIC will generally apply for subsequent years to a U.S. Holder who held ordinary shares of Exceed while it was a PFIC, whether or not it met the test for PFIC status in those years. A U.S. Holder who makes the QEF election discussed above for the first tax year in which the U.S. Holder holds (or is deemed to hold) ordinary shares in Exceed and for which it is determined to be a PFIC, however, will not be subject to the PFIC tax and interest charge rules (or the denial of basis step-up at death) discussed above in respect to such shares. In addition, such U.S. Holder will not be subject to the QEF inclusion regime with respect to such shares for the tax years in which Exceed is not a PFIC. On the other hand, if the QEF election is not effective for each of the tax years in which Exceed is a PFIC and the U.S. Holder holds (or is deemed to hold) ordinary shares in Exceed, the PFIC rules discussed above will continue to apply to such shares unless the holder makes a purging election and pays the tax and interest charge with respect to the gain inherent in such shares attributable to the pre-QEF election period.

Alternatively, if a U.S. Holder owns ordinary shares in a PFIC that is treated as marketable stock, the U.S. Holder may make a mark-to-market election. If the U.S. Holder makes a valid mark-to-market election for the first tax year in which the U.S. Holder holds (or is deemed to hold) ordinary shares in Exceed and for which it is determined to be a PFIC, such holder generally will not be subject to the PFIC rules described above in respect to its ordinary shares. Instead, in general, the U.S. Holder will include as ordinary income each year the excess, if any, of the fair market value of its ordinary shares at the end of its taxable year over the adjusted basis in its ordinary shares. The U.S. Holder also will be allowed to take an ordinary loss in respect of the excess, if any, of the adjusted basis of its ordinary shares over the fair market value of its ordinary shares at the end of its taxable year (but only to the extent of the net amount of previously included income as a result of the mark-to-market election). The U.S. Holder’s basis in its ordinary shares will be adjusted to reflect any such income or loss amounts, and any further gain recognized on a sale or other taxable disposition of the ordinary shares will be treated as ordinary income.

The mark-to-market election is available only for stock that is regularly traded on a national securities exchange that is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (including the NASDAQ Capital Market), or on a foreign exchange or market that the IRS determines has rules sufficient to ensure that the market price represents a legitimate and sound fair market value. Since it is expected that the ordinary shares of Exceed will be quoted and traded on the NASDAQ Capital Market, it is possible, if certain other conditions are met, that such shares may qualify as marketable stock for purposes of the election. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the availability and tax consequences of a mark-to-market election in respect to the ordinary shares of Exceed under their particular circumstances.

If Exceed is a PFIC and, at any time, has a non-U.S. subsidiary that is classified as a PFIC, U.S. Holders generally would be deemed to own a portion of the shares of such lower-tier PFIC, and generally could incur liability for the deferred tax and interest charge described above if Exceed receives a distribution from or disposes of all or part of its interest in, the lower-tier PFIC. Upon request, Exceed will endeavor to cause any lower-tier PFIC to provide to a U.S. Holder no later than 90 days after the request the information that may be required to make or maintain a QEF election with respect to the lower-tier PFIC. U.S. Holders are urged to consult their own tax advisors regarding the tax issues raised by lower-tier PFICs.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

If a U.S. Holder owns (or is deemed to own) shares during any year in a PFIC, such holder may have to file an IRS Form 8621 (whether or not a QEF or mark-to-market election is made).

The rules dealing with PFICs and with the QEF and mark-to-market elections are very complex and are affected by various factors in addition to those described above. Accordingly, U.S. Holders of ordinary shares in Exceed should consult their own tax advisors concerning the application of the PFIC rules to such ordinary shares under their particular circumstances.

U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations for Non-U.S. Holders of Ordinary Shares of Exceed

As noted above (see the discussion under the heading “Material United States Federal Income Tax Considerations — U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Redomestication — Tax Consequences to 2020 and Exceed”), for the purpose of this summary it has been assumed that Exceed will be treated as a foreign corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Based on such assumption, dividends paid to a Non-U.S. Holder in respect to its ordinary shares in Exceed generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax, unless the dividends are effectively connected with the Non-U.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, are attributable to a permanent establishment or fixed base that such holder maintains in the United States).

In addition, a Non-U.S. Holder generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on any gain attributable to a sale or other disposition of ordinary shares in Exceed unless such gain is effectively connected with its conduct of a trade or business in the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, is attributable to a permanent establishment or fixed base that such holder maintains in the United States) or the Non-U.S. Holder is an individual who is present in the United States for 183 days or more in the taxable year of sale or other disposition and certain other conditions are met (in which case, such gain from United States sources generally is subject to tax at a 30% rate or a lower applicable tax treaty rate).

Dividends and gains that are effectively connected with the Non-U.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business in the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, are attributable to a permanent establishment or fixed base in the United States) generally will be subject to tax in the same manner as for a U.S. Holder and, in the case of a Non-U.S. Holder that is a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, may also be subject to an additional branch profits tax at a 30% rate or a lower applicable tax treaty rate.

INFORMATION ABOUT WINDRACE

Overview

Windrace is one of the leading PRC sports and leisurewear companies in China with a market share of 3.2% by revenue. Foreign and domestic branded sports and leisurewear products each accounted for approximately half of the market share in China in 2007 and Windrace was one of the top five domestic branded sports and leisurewear manufacturers according to ZOU Marketing. Since Windrace began its operations in 2002, it has grown quickly in second and third tier cities in China, particularly in the Southwestern Region, Northeastern Region and Northwestern Region of China. As of June 30, 2009, Windrace’s retail sales network covered 28 provinces and municipalities in China.

Windrace designs, develops and wholesales footwear, apparel and accessories under the “[GRAPHIC MISSING]” (Xidelong) brand name and the “[GRAPHIC MISSING]” logo. Windrace has three principal categories of products: (i) footwear, which mainly comprises running, leisure, basketball, skateboarding, canvas, tennis and outdoor footwear, (ii) apparel, which mainly comprises sports tops, pants, jackets, track suits and coats, and (iii) accessories, which mainly comprise bags, socks, hats and caps. Windrace’s footwear, apparel and accessories represented 54.0%, 45.0% and 1.0% of its total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively. Windrace’s primary footwear is running footwear, which represented 20.4% of its total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2009, the market for which has been growing rapidly in China due to the increasing demand for lifestyle and leisure products and heightened interest in health consciousness among Chinese customers.

Windrace focuses primarily on second and third tier cities in China characterized by increasing urbanization and strong economic development, which we believe present the best opportunity for retail sales growth. Windrace’s target customers are between 15 to 35 years old. Windrace plans to focus its market penetration in these areas using a medium-end pricing strategy, with an average retail price of approximately RMB200 to RMB300 for a pair of its sports or leisure footwear. Windrace also aims to establish and further widen its regional leadership particularly in the Southwestern Region and Northwestern Region in China. In particular, Windrace is the largest sportswear brand in terms of retail stores directly or indirectly operated by its distributors in Yunnan, Chongqing, Shaanxi, Heilongjiang and Tibet according to ZOU Marketing. For example, one of Windrace’s distributors had already established 456 Xidelong retail stores in Yunnan and Hunan province in the Southwestern Region by the end of 2008. We believe that this provides a platform for Windrace to further enhance its overall market share in China’s rapidly growing branded sportswear market, which has grown at an estimated compound annual growth rate, or CAGR, of 27% from 2003 to 2007 according to ZOU Marketing.

Windrace sells its products mainly through the Xidelong retail stores, which sell Windrace’s products exclusively and do not carry or sell other brands’ products. Windrace’s 23 distributors own and operate all Xidelong retail stores. They operate some of the Xidelong retail stores directly and delegate operation of the remaining stores to third parties. Windrace has contractual relationships only with its distributors and not with authorized third party retail store operators. Windrace believes that the sale of its products through distributors has enabled it to grow by leveraging on their regional retail expertise and economies of scale. Windrace provides retail policies and guidelines, training, advertising and marketing support as well as renovation subsidies to assist its distributors in the management and expansion of the Xidelong retail sales network. As of June 30, 2009, there were 3,411 Xidelong retail stores, of which 995 were operated directly by distributors and the remaining 2,416 were operated indirectly through authorized third party retail store operators. The number of the Xidelong retail stores grew from 1,483 as of December 31, 2006 to 3,277 as of December 31, 2008, representing a CAGR of 48.7%.

Windrace places great emphasis on the comfort and functionality of its products. It tailors its sports and leisure footwear, especially running footwear, to the needs of PRC consumers. The China Institute of Sport Science, General Administration of Sport of China, the research center established by the General Administration of Sport of China engaging in research in the field of sport science, works with Windrace exclusively in its research and development efforts in China. Under the agreement with the China Institute of Sport Science, Windrace pays an annual fee to the China Institute of Sport Science for their assistance in the research and development of technologies for Windrace’s sports footwear and apparel and their promotion of the technology content of Windrace’s products. Further, Windrace has the exclusive right to use the endorsement “The

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Strategic Partner of the China Institute of Sport Science” on its products and the first right of refusal to use the know-how developed through its collaboration with the China Institute of Sport Science. As the exclusive partner of the China Institute of Sport Science, Windrace allows the China Institute of Sport Science to use its research and development facilities in Jinjiang. We believe that combined with Windrace’s existing strengths and market position, its footwear, especially running footwear, presents the largest growth potential in the sports and leisure footwear sector in China. Windrace’s commitment to the comfort and quality of its footwear for each individual is represented by its promotional slogans such as “The Foot Knows Comfort”, “Run Freely” and “Respect Yourself.

Windrace manufactures its products through a combination of internal and external production. Windrace’s production facility has a gross floor area of approximately 66,102 square meters and houses nine production lines with an aggregate annual production capacity of approximately nine million pairs of footwear. During the years ended December 31, 2006, 2007 and 2008 and the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2009, Windrace manufactured some footwear at its own production facility and outsourced the remaining footwear, generally with a lower technology content and all of its apparel and accessories to third party contract manufacturers. As of June 30, 2009, Windrace had three subcontractors for footwear, 14 subcontractors for apparel and six subcontractors for accessories.

All of Windrace’s products, whether manufactured at its production facility or outsourced to contract manufacturers, undergo testing by Windrace’s stringent quality control system before being distributed for retail sale. During the years ended December 31, 2006, 2007 and 2008, the percentages of footwear production that Windrace outsourced to these contract manufacturers in terms of sales volume increased from 20.3% in 2006 to 37.1% in 2007, and to 47.8% in 2008. The percentages of footwear production that Windrace outsourced to its contract manufacturers, however, decreased from 55.4% during the six months ended June 30, 2008 to 21.9% during the six months ended June 30, 2009 because Windrace increased production of its footwear products in house due to increased production capacity and decreased purchases from contract manufacturers. Increased in-house production gives Windrace more control over footwear production and allows Windrace to save costs.

Windrace’s revenues increased significantly at a CAGR of approximately 62.7% from RMB687.6 million in 2006 to RMB1,820.3 million in 2008. The growth during these periods was attributable to Windrace’s business expansion and increased demand for Windrace’s products. Windrace’s revenue, however, decreased from RMB1,017.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008 to RMB816.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009 due primarily to the reduction of delivery due to anticipated reduced consumer demand arising from the financial crisis and economic downturn that began in 2008.

Competitive Strengths

We believe that Windrace is able to capitalize on the growth of the branded sports and leisurewear market in the PRC because of its following strengths:

Leading and fast-growing sports and leisurewear brand in China

Windrace’s Xidelong brand is one of the leading and fast-growing sports and leisurewear brands in the PRC. Foreign and domestic branded sports and leisurewear products each accounted for approximately half of the market share in China in 2007 and Windrace was one of the top five domestic branded sports and leisurewear manufacturers with a market share of 3.2% by revenue according to ZOU Marketing. Windrace commenced operations in 2002 and has experienced significant growth since its inception. Windrace recorded RMB1,820.3 million in revenue in 2008, representing a CAGR of approximately 62.7% from RMB687.6 million in 2006. The number of the Xidelong retail stores grew from 1,483 as of December 31, 2006 to 3,277 as of December 31, 2008, representing a CAGR of 48.7%. We believe Windrace’s fast growth was primarily due to its focus on rapidly growing second and third tier cities in China that have recorded strong economic growth in recent years. Leveraging its growth and experience in these cities, we believe that Windrace has a solid platform to expand its market share into other PRC cities and regions.

Extensive sales distribution network

Windrace sells its Xidelong products through its distributors’ extensive sales distribution network. As of June 30, 2009, Windrace’s 23 distributors owned and operated, directly or indirectly, 3,411 Xidelong retail

107


 
 

TABLE OF CONTENTS

stores covering 28 provinces and municipalities. Most of the Xidelong retail stores are located in second and third tier cities in China, which Windrace believes present significant growth opportunities. Windrace is the largest sportswear brand in terms of retail stores operated, directly or indirectly, by its distributors in Yunnan, Chongqing, Shaanxi, Heilongjiang and Tibet according to ZOU Marketing. Windrace sets guidelines for its distributors relating to the management and the operations of the Xidelong retail stores, including location, retail prices and sales targets, with the aim of strengthening growth in their sales, further enhancing the market positions of Xidelong in Windrace’s target regions and improving recognition of the Xidelong brand.

Strong research and development capabilities enhanced by Windrace’s exclusive partnership with the China Institute of Sport Science

We believe Windrace is widely recognized in the PRC as a producer of quality and comfortable sports and leisurewear. Its promotional slogans, “The Foot Knows Comfort” and “Run Freely”, represent its dedication to producing quality and comfortable footwear. Windrace aims to apply leading edge technology to develop sports and leisure footwear that is tailored to consumers in the PRC. Windrace developed a national database of foot shapes and characteristics of people of different age groups and from different regions in the PRC with the aim to understanding their unique features and thereby developing sports and leisure footwear that can provide the best comfort to its consumers. Windrace was awarded “Most Popular Sportswear Brand in the PRC as Voted by Consumers” in 2005 by Sohu.com Inc., a leading online media company.

Windrace’s competitive strength in research and development is further demonstrated by its exclusive partnership with leading sports institutes in China, including the China Institute of Sport Science, General Administration of Sport of China and the Hefei Institute of Intelligent Machines, Chinese Academy of Sciences. The China Institute of Sport Science is a research center established by the General Administration of Sport of China, China’s first and only governmental agency engaging in research in the field of sport science. The Hefei Institute of Intelligent Machines is a research institute established by the Chinese Academy of Sciences, a leading academic institution and comprehensive research and development center in natural science and technological innovation in China. Windrace is able to leverage their technology resources and professional expertise to analyze information stored in its proprietary national foot shape and characteristic database and improve the comfort level and quality of its sports and leisure footwear, especially in running footwear which it considers presents the largest market potential in the sports and leisure footwear sector. Windrace also has the first right of refusal to the use of the know-how developed through its collaboration with the China Institute of Sport Science, and the exclusive right to the know-how developed under its arrangement with the Hefei Institute of Intelligent Machines. Windrace was named the “Chinese Enterprise with Innovative Sports Products Technology” in 2007 by the Chinese International Brand Development Association, China Sport Brand Research Center, and Beijing JinWang International Sport Management Limited.

Integrated production and stringent quality control to ensure high quality products

We believe one of Windrace’s core competitive strengths is the high quality of its Xidelong products resulting from its integrated production platform and stringent quality control system. Windrace’s integrated production process allows it to maintain control over key stages of its operations. Its internal design and research and development capability enables it to introduce new and innovative products and adjust its production output to respond to changing customer demands without compromising quality control. Windrace leverages its in-house manufacturing capacity in its footwear production with more advanced technological features, particularly running and basketball footwear, in order to ensure quality, and retain its proprietary intellectual property and technological know-how. Windrace also outsources the production of some of its footwear and all of its apparel and accessories to contract manufacturers. We believe Windrace also enjoys a competitive cost structure from its scaled production.

Moreover, Windrace has a comprehensive quality control system that covers the entire production process, from the purchase of raw materials to the processing and inspection of finished products, including products produced by contract manufacturers. We believe Windrace’s dedication to quality control is instrumental to ensure the high quality of its products. Windrace obtained the ISO9001 quality control certification for its footwear production process in 2008. It was also awarded “State-designated Products Exempted from Quality Inspection” in 2005, and its Xidelong brand was recognized as “China’s Well-Known Trademark” in 2006.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Professional and experienced management team

Windrace has grown significantly since it began its operations in 2002 to become a leading sports and leisurewear company in China. We believe this is due to Windrace’s professional and experienced management, which has extensive knowledge and in-depth experience in the PRC sportswear industry gained from managerial experience in other major domestic and international branded sportswear companies. Windrace’s management is led by Mr. Lin Shuipan, the founder, chairman of the board and chief executive officer, who has over 16 years of experience in the sports and leisurewear industry and has been responsible for overall strategic direction, management and operations since Windrace’s inception. In addition, Mr. Lin was appointed the vice president of Jinjiang Footwear Manufacturing Association in 2004 and was also appointed an executive director of Jinjiang Chendai Chamber of Commerce in 2005. Windrace’s experienced mid-level management and other production, design and administrative personnel have also contributed to the growth of its business.

Business Strategies

Windrace intends to continue to build on its competitive strengths to increase its market share and profitability. To achieve this, it plans to implement the following business strategies:

Continue to widen Windrace’s leading market position in regional markets and further expand its national sales distribution network and market share in the PRC

Windrace plans to continue to expand the Xidelong sales distribution network through its distributors in order to continue to increase its market share in China and to leverage the growth in demand for sports and leisurewear products. Windrace is exploring a strategy to increase Windrace’s sales distribution network through Windrace’s distributors with plans to add approximately 500, 700 and 1,000 additional Xidelong retail stores in each of 2009, 2010 and 2011, respectively. Windrace’s expansion plans entail the following:

Further widen its regional market leadership:  Windrace’s sales distribution networks in the Southwestern Region and the Northwestern Region of China are among the largest according to ZOU Marketing, an independent strategic sports branding organization in the PRC. Windrace intends to leverage its leading regional market position and further increase its presence, and widen its leading market position by opening additional Xidelong retail stores, through its distributors, to continue to leverage the strong economic growth in these regions.
Expand its national coverage and penetrate into new regions in China:  Windrace intends to leverage its experience from its leading regional market position and expand the Xidelong sales distribution network, though its distributors, into other regions of China, including Beijing, Guangdong and other provincial capitals and major cities. Windrace intends to expand the geographical coverage of its existing distributors and engage new distributors who have strong network and experience in such regions.
Increase the number of large-scale Xidelong retail stores:  Windrace intends to work closely with its distributors to increase the number of large scale Xidelong retail stores with an average store size of approximately 100 square meters, which can carry a wider range of its Xidelong products, and enhance profile and recognition of its brand.

Continue to strengthen management and control of the Xidelong retail network

Windrace plans to continue to work with its distributors and further strengthen its management of the expanding Xidelong retail network. In particular:

Windrace intends to spend RMB12.0 million in 2010 and RMB10.0 million in 2011 to establish a POS information management system to enhance its monitoring of the performance of its distributors, including sales performance and inventory data at the Xidelong retail stores. This planned POS information management system will enable Windrace’s management and relevant personnel to track information on a real-time basis with respect to the movements of its products at all Xidelong retail stores. Windrace expects to be able to utilize such timely information to plan its production levels accordingly and determine effectively the pricing of its products based on real-time data. Windrace plans to establish and launch the system in stages; and

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Windrace intends to continue to provide guidance and support to its distributors, including training of the Xidelong retail store employees to improve their customer service and product knowledge, identifying locations for the establishment of new Xidelong retail stores, facilitating the establishment of new Xidelong retail stores with renovation subsidies and providing other marketing support.

Continue to strengthen Windrace’s research and development capabilities

To further improve its products that are designed for both general sports and leisure activities, Windrace will continue to strengthen its product design, and research and development efforts. Windrace will continue to leverage its exclusive collaboration relationships with external institutions such as the China Institute of Sport Science and invest further in joint research and development initiatives to enhancing the performance and technology of its products. Windrace expects planned investments of RMB3.0 million in 2009, RMB17.0 million in 2010 and RMB20.0 million in 2011 on its research and development initiatives.

Windrace plans to launch its first foot-shape measuring device at selected Xidelong retail stores. The device will enable consumers to choose the type of footwear that will best suit their individual foot shapes and provide them with more comfort based on their unique characteristics. In addition to product design, Windrace will continue to work with its suppliers to improve the materials used in its footwear production to enhance the comfort level of its products, including lighter weight, more durable soles and products with better shock absorbing and breathable materials. Furthermore, Windrace is currently developing cold-climate cross-country footwear and running footwear with built-in pedometers with the China Institute of Sport Science, which it intends to commercialize when ready for retail sale.

Further enhance the awareness of Windrace’s Xidelong brand image

Windrace plans to further enhance awareness of the Xidelong brand in China and, in particular, to strengthen the recognition of Xidelong as a competitively-priced, comfortable and high quality sports and leisurewear brand that best suits the lifestyles of Chinese consumers. Windrace plans to continue to market its products under its promotional slogans, e.g. “The Foot Knows Comfort”, “Run Freely”, and “Respect Yourself.”

We believe that the 2009 East Asian Games in Hong Kong and the 16th Asian Games in Guangzhou in 2010 will generate more interest in sports among consumers in the PRC. We believe this presents significant opportunities for growth in sports and leisurewear products in China, and Windrace intends to leverage this opportunity to further enhance recognition of its brand in China. Windrace intends to increase advertising on national and regional newspapers, magazines, the Internet, television and billboard displays. We believe Windrace’s enhanced marketing and promotional activities will further capture the increased interest in sports in China.

Expand Windrace’s production capacity

To meet the demand for Windrace’s products and support the growth of its sales distribution network through its distributors, Windrace intends to expand annual footwear production capacity at its facility in Jinjiang, Fujian province from approximately nine million pairs to approximately 19 million pairs by 2010 through planned capital expenditures of RMB4.0 million in 2009, RMB16.0 million in 2010 and RMB2.0 million in 2011. Windrace is also exploring potential sites for the construction of a new production facility. Windrace is planning capital expenditures of RMB55.0 million in 2010 and RMB50.0 million in 2011 to expand the production facilities with an aggregate gross floor area of approximately 30,000 square meters for such new production base.

In addition, Windrace is exploring plans to shift a small portion of apparel production to its production facility, which would allow it to integrate the production process with the design, research and development process. This will give Windrace a more direct control of the entire process and shorten its production lead time to respond more quickly to market demands.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Institute of Sport Science pursuant to the cooperation agreement for their assistance in the research and development of Windrace’s products. Other than such annual fees, Windrace does not pay any other fees, including usage fees, to the China Institute of Sport Science.

Windrace’s current collaborative projects with the China Institute of Sport Science include research initiatives to establish a national database of different foot shapes and characteristics of the PRC population. In April 2007, Windrace launched a nationwide foot measurement campaign where it collected foot measurement data from consumers across the PRC, using the foot shape measurement equipment developed in conjunction with the China Institute of Sport Science, which helped analyze the data in the foot shape database, and which Windrace subsequently incorporated into the design and development of its footwear insoles and soles.

The Hefei Institute of Intelligent Machines

The Hefei Institute of Intelligent Machines, Chinese Academy of Sciences was founded in 1979 and is a national research center for sensor technology and artificial intelligence. With over 50 scientists and technical staff, the Hefei Institute of Intelligent Machines focuses on the fields of biomimetic sensing and artificial intelligence. The Hefei Institute of Intelligent Machines has developed biomimetic sensing robotics and micro/nano sensors and has produced special sensors and sensing control systems that integrate optics, micro/nano technology and various sensing systems that measure strength, tactile sense and vision.

Windrace entered into a two-year technology development agreement with the Hefei Institute of Intelligent Machines from May 2007 to May 2009. Windrace is discussing with the Hefei Institute of Intelligent Machines the terms and approach for research and development in a new collaborative project and expects to enter into a new agreement by the end of 2009. The collaborative projects under the original agreement included a testing system for foot pressure distribution that analyzes the contact surface between the foot and support surface in footwear. While the Hefei Institute of Intelligent Machines owned the proprietary know-how developed under the agreement, Windrace had the exclusive right to use the know-how developed during the agreement period. Under the new contract, Windrace is expected to continue to enjoy the exclusive right to use the know-how developed in collaboration with the Hefei Institute of Intelligent Machines during the term of the new agreement.

Key recent achievements

The following are Windrace’s recent key research and development achievements in footwear technologies:

Arch support pad

Arch support pads are commonly used in footwear to provide underside support to the feet in order to reduce foot or heel pain. Windrace’s research and development activities with the China Institute of Sport Science and the Hefei Institute of Intelligent Machines resulted in the development of a foot shape database and testing system for foot pressure distribution, providing shock absorption functions, which are specifically tailored to consumers in the PRC.

Silicone rubber materials

Windrace’s research and development activities with the China Institute of Sport Science and the Hefei Institute of Intelligent Machines resulted in the development of silicone rubber materials that have higher levels of color-fading resistance and have a higher overall durability compared with conventional rubber materials. Windrace has used these materials in the production of a specially designed midsoles for shock absorption and balancing functions.

Nano-silver photocatalyst

Windrace has developed footwear materials that contain nano-silver photocatalysts. Nano-silver photocatalysts in footwear materials absorb odors and have an antibacterial effect. Windrace is currently using nano-silver photocatalyst technology in its footwear.

For 2006, 2007 and 2008 and the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2009, Windrace’s total expenditure on research and development amounted to RMB5.5 million, RMB12.8 million, RMB17.6 million, RMB8.4 million and RMB13.0 million, respectively, representing 0.8%, 1.0%, 1.0%, 0.8% and 1.6% of Windrace’s revenue during the same periods.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Production

Windrace manufactures a portion of its footwear at its production facility covering an aggregate gross floor area of approximately 66,102 square meters located in Jinjiang, Fujian province. This production facility was established in March 2007. Prior to that, Windrace manufactured footwear at a rented production facility, also located in Jinjiang, Fujian province. As of June 30, 2009, Windrace’s production facility had approximately 2,390 production staff.

In 2006, Windrace operated five production lines occupying an aggregate gross floor area of 6,000 square meters with an annual production capacity of approximately five million pairs. After the establishment of Windrace’s facility in March 2007, Windrace increased its production lines to seven production lines with an annual production capacity of approximately seven million pairs. In June 2008, Windrace further increased its production lines to nine production lines with an annual production capacity of approximately nine million pairs. The utilization rates of Windrace’s production facility for 2006, 2007 and 2008 and the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2009 were approximately 98%, 93%, 78%, 78% and 100%, respectively.

Windrace intends to expand the annual footwear production capacity at its production facility from approximately nine million pairs to approximately 19 million pairs by 2010 by adding ten new production lines. Windrace is also exploring potential sites for the construction of a new production facility.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Windrace manufactures its products through a combination of internal and external production. It purchases finished products from contract manufacturers. Other than finished products, Windrace does not purchase other products from contract manufacturers. For semi-finished rubber soles, a key part of its footwear, and other product parts, Windrace purchases them from subcontractors. See “— Procurement.” Contract manufacturers only carry out production activities and do not conduct product design for Windrace group. Windrace provides its contract manufacturers with the designs and specifications of its products. Windrace protects its intellectual property rights from unauthorized use by its contract manufacturers through the registration of its trademarks, and also through engaging the appropriate legal services and assistance to ensure that its trademarks are effectively protected and enforced against any unauthorized use.

Windrace recommends raw material suppliers to its contract manufacturers for their production and to subcontractors.

Windrace selects and evaluates its contract manufacturers carefully. It assesses contract manufacturers on an annual basis based on factors such as their product quality and ability to meet production orders on a timely basis. Windrace engages contract manufacturers based on sales orders it receives at its sales fairs. For 2007, 2007 and 2008 and the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2009, Windrace’s contract manufacturers contributed 20.3%, 37.1%, 47.8%, 55.4% and 21.9%, respectively, of its total footwear sales volume. All of Windrace’s contract manufacturers are independent third parties and are located in Fujian province. For 2006, 2007, and 2008, the duration of agreements with Windrace’s contract manufacturers for footwear, apparel and accessories had been one year. Starting from 2009, the duration of agreements with Windrace’s contract manufacturers has been extended to two years. Windrace has not terminated its contractual relationships with any of its contract manufacturers of its footwear during the term of the agreements. However, there have been some incidents of contract termination with Windrace’s contract manufacturers of its apparel and accessories. When this occurs, Windrace has been able to appoint replacement contract manufacturers readily due to the large number of replacement contract manufacturers from which it can select. See “Risk Factors — Windrace relies on third party contract manufacturers for the production of a portion of its footwear and all of its apparel and accessories.”

Windrace requires its contract manufacturers to comply with its manufacturing standards and specifications. It does not allow its contract manufacturers to sub-contract its production orders without its prior consent. Windrace subjects outsourced products to its quality control procedures. It returns defective product parts or unused product parts to the relevant contract manufacturers. Windrace pays its contract manufacturers by way of bank or telegraphic transfer. Before 2009, Windrace generally paid 30% of the contract price upon delivery with the remaining 70% paid within 60 days thereafter. Starting from 2009, the payment of the second installment representing 70% of the contract price has been extended from 60 days to 120 days after delivery.

Windrace does not oversee the manufacturing operations of its contract manufacturers except to ensure their compliance with its order specifications and quality control. Therefore, Windrace believes that it will not be liable for any violations of applicable laws, rules or regulations with respect to their manufacturing operations.

Procurement

Windrace procures raw materials and product parts for its manufacturing requirements.

Windrace procures raw materials for its footwear production at its production facility in Jinjiang. The major raw materials used in the production of Windrace’s footwear products include natural and synthetic leather, nylon, canvas, rubber and plastics. Windrace’s raw material suppliers are primarily located in Quanzhou, which is adjacent to Jinjiang. Windrace selects raw material suppliers based on its selection criteria, which include product quality, reliability, price, and speed of delivery. Windrace places orders for its raw material requirements only after it receives sales orders at its sales fairs.

Windrace also procures semi-finished rubber soles and other product parts from subcontractors. Other than these semi-finished rubber soles and other product parts, Windrace does not purchase other finished products from subcontractors. Subcontractors manufacture semi-finished rubber soles to Windrace’s specifications. Windrace also recommends raw material suppliers to its subcontractors. Windrace selects subcontractors

119


 
 

TABLE OF CONTENTS

based on location, product quality, reliability, price, and speed of delivery. Similar to its raw materials suppliers, Windrace’s product part suppliers are primarily located in Quanzhou. Windrace pays its subcontractors a subcontracting fee. The subcontracting fees for 2006, 2007 and 2008 and the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2009 were approximately RMB16.9 million, RMB21.5 million, RMB18.5 million, RMB8.5 million and RMB10.0 million, respectively.

Windrace generally pays its raw material suppliers on a monthly basis. For amounts payable that are below RMB2 million, Windrace generally makes payment within 30 days. For amounts that exceed RMB2 million, Windrace generally pays 40% within 30 days, with the remaining 60% payable within 60 days.

Windrace does not rely on any one supplier or subcontractor. As of June 30, 2009, it had forty raw materials suppliers, three subcontractors for footwear, twenty subcontractors for apparel and forty-four subcontractors for accessories, respectively.

For 2006, 2007 and 2008 and the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2009, Windrace’s top five raw material suppliers and subcontractors accounted for approximately 30.3%, 35.6%, 40.4%, 45.0% and 42.6%, respectively, of its total purchases from raw material suppliers and subcontractors. Windrace’s single largest supplier accounted for approximately 11.4%, 7.9%, 9.9%, 12.5% and 12.6%, respectively, of its total purchases during the same periods.

Inventory Control and Management

Windrace’s inventory consists of (i) raw materials for the footwear production; (ii) product parts and (iii) finished products. Windrace keeps generally low inventory levels of raw materials and product parts because it commences production only after receiving confirmed sales orders from its distributors. Windrace has established an inventory management ports system to monitor its inventory levels.

Windrace does not have any information relating to the sales of its products by the distributors and the authorized third party retail store operators. After Windrace sells its products to the distributors, the products become part of the inventories of the distributors, over which Windrace has no control. Windrace requires its distributors to provide it with inventory reports that give it information on their inventory levels. Prior to 2008, Windrace’s distributors submitted quarterly inventory reports to it. Since 2008, Windrace has required the distributors to submit the inventory reports to it on a monthly basis. Windrace monitors and verifies the accuracy of the distributors’ inventory reports in the following manner:

Windrace agrees with distributors on the date for stocktaking;
on the date scheduled for stocktaking, distributors record the inventory levels of Xidelong products at their warehouses and the Xidelong retail stores which they operate directly;
distributors then compare their records on the opening balance of stocks after the last stocktaking against the results of the stocktaking, and prepare inventory reports;
distributors submit the inventory reports to Windrace and Windrace’s sales representatives then make arrangements with the distributors to carry out on-site stocktaking inspections based on the distributors’ inventory reports; and
Windrace’s sales representatives prepare a report of the on-site inspection and identify any unusual inventory levels. Windrace reviews the report and provides recommendations to the relevant distributors on the improvement of their sales performance.

The above procedures enable Windrace to gather information on the levels of market acceptance of its products so that it can reflect the consumers’ preferences on the designs of its new products. The tracking of the inventories also provides Windrace information on the market recognition of its products in a particular region so that it can realign its strategy if necessary. This information can also assist in Windrace’s coordination with its distributors to reallocate products to other regions where necessary. Windrace believes this inventory control system helps to reduce inventory build-up at the Xidelong retail stores.

Windrace’s policy is to review regularly obsolete inventories based on the age and the expected future sale ability of a product. In addition, Windrace carries out its physical inventory inspection on a timely basis

120


 
 

TABLE OF CONTENTS

to identify any obsolete or damaged inventories. Windrace will make specific provisions for a damaged item or an item of inventory that has a carrying amount lower than the net realizable value. During the years ended December 31, 2006, 2007 and 2008 and the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2009, Windrace did not make any provisions for obsolete inventories.

Windrace maintains its finished goods inventory in two warehouses, one for storage of footwear and the other for storage of apparel and accessories. It generally stores finished goods according to types of footwear in its warehouses. For the years ended December 31, 2006, 2007 and 2008 and the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2009, Windrace’s average inventory turnover days were 30, 19, 19, 16 and 24, respectively, while Windrace’s inventory balances at December 31, 2006, 2007 and 2008 and June 30, 2008 and 2009 accounted for approximately 16.7%, 8.4%, 10.6%, 11.2% and 6.1%, respectively, of Windrace’s total assets.

Quality Control

Windrace manufactures its products in accordance with its strict quality control system and quality standards. From selecting raw materials to packaging finished products, each stage of the production process is subject to Windrace’s quality control procedures. Windrace conducts regular inspections of the production facilities of its contract manufacturers and requires the facilities and outsourced products to meet both its internal quality control standards and all applicable national and industry quality standards. Windrace tests its new products at the science and technology laboratory in its research and development center in Jinjiang to help ensure the products conform to its quality and performance standards.

Raw materials and product parts quality control

Windrace implements stringent selection criteria for raw materials suppliers and product parts subcontractors as the first step towards maintaining the quality of its products. It randomly tests samples of raw materials and product parts from its suppliers and returns any goods that do not meet its specifications or standards.

Design prototypes quality control

Before commencing mass production, Windrace tests prototype designs for any design or functional issues and the suitability of materials used. It implements test production runs in order to identify and isolate any potential production issues or defects.

Production process quality control

Windrace employs on-site quality control staff to inspect each stage of its production process. Windrace’s quality control staff inspect semi-finished products at two stages, the first being the sewing and stitching stage, where it sews and stitches individual parts together, and the second at the final assembly stage of its footwear where it glues soles to the footwear, and presses and dries the footwear. Windrace also requires its quality control staff to inspect individual product parts and semi-finished products to monitor compliance with its internal quality control over the production process standards and measures. These inspection checks provide Windrace with a degree of control whereby it can detect defects during the production process, and take steps to rectify these defects, where appropriate.

Finished products quality control

Windrace randomly selects products from its finished product runs to undergo various quality control sampling tests before these products are shipped for delivery or stored at its warehouses. Windrace customizes these tests for each product type and include, for example, for footwear, shoe bending tests, abrasion resistance tests, waterproofing tests, adhesive application tests, temperature tolerance tests, and various other tests.

In December 2005, the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine of the PRC designated Windrace’s Xidelong footwear and apparel as “State-designated Products Exempted from Quality Inspection.” In 2008, Windrace obtained ISO 9001 certification for the design, development and production of its footwear, and the design, development and production management of its apparel.

Sales and Distribution

Windrace’s sales operations are managed and coordinated from its headquarters at Jinjiang, Fujian province. As of June 30, 2009, Windrace’s sales and marketing center comprised a team of 122 staff. The sales

121


 
 

TABLE OF CONTENTS

department devises and implements policies for Windrace’s distributors to assist them in operating the Xidelong retail stores, which include policies relating to marketing and promotion, sales management, pricing, recording of sales and human resources. The sales department also sets sales targets and monitors inventory levels of distributors.

Sales network

Windrace sells all of its products on a wholesale basis to distributors. These distributors operate, either directly or indirectly through third parties, the Xidelong retail stores that sell Windrace’s products. Windrace does not sell its products directly to consumers. Distributors place wholesale orders (which include purchase orders that the distributors secure from authorized third party retail store operators) for Windrace’s products at Windrace’s sales fairs for retail sale at the Xidelong retail stores. See “Sales Fairs.”

As of June 30, 2009, Windrace’s 23 distributors operated 3,411 Xidelong retail stores directly and indirectly, of which the top five distributors accounted for approximately 9.4%, 6.1%, 6.0%, 5.7% and 5.5% of Windrace’s total revenue, respectively.

Windrace categorizes the Xidelong retail stores into the following: (i) department store concessions and (ii) stand-alone shops. Department store concessions are designated sections of department stores that sell Windrace’s products. Stand-alone shops are retail shops, usually on the street level.

The following chart illustrates the structure of the sales network for Windrace’s products:

Windrace has sales teams comprising regional managers, accounts managers and accounts representatives who manage its sales in the various regions. Windrace’s sales teams are responsible for monitoring and managing the performance of the distributors and the Xidelong retail stores within their respective regions, as well as managing the distributors’ compliance with Windrace’s retail policies. These regional sales teams report to Windrace’s headquarters.

Windrace has formulated an internal expansion plan that entails opening, through its distributors, approximately 500, 700 and 1,000 Xidelong retail stores in each of 2009, 2010 and 2011, respectively.

Selection of distributors

Windrace selects distributors based on a range of criteria which it considers important for the operation of the Xidelong distribution sales network of sportswear retail stores. It does not require its distributors to have any minimum number of years of relevant experience. Windrace assesses the suitability of a candidate to be its distributor based on, but not limited to, the following:

its relevant experience in the management and operation of sportswear retail stores;
its creditworthiness;
its ability to develop and operate a network of retail stores in its designated sales region;
its ability to meet Windrace’s sales targets; and
the suitability of its store location and size.

Windrace identifies suitable distributors and enters into distributorship agreements, generally for a term of up to 12 months. Starting from 2008, the duration of distributorship agreements with Windrace’s distributors has been extended to three years.

Windrace’s distributors directly operated 995 Xidelong retail stores out of 3,411 Xidelong retail stores at June 30, 2009. They have their own regional management teams which oversee the overall supervision, management (including the formulation of operational guidelines for the Xidelong retail stores) and inspection of the Xidelong retail stores.

Windrace sets guidelines for its distributors in respect of the location, store layout and product display of their Xidelong retail stores. Distributors require Windrace’s prior approval before opening new Xidelong retail stores. Windrace typically visits potential locations for new Xidelong retail stores with its distributors, and considers the suitability of such locations before approving a new Xidelong retail store opening.

Windrace also allows its distributors to use authorized third party retail store operators to operate the Xidelong retail stores. Distributors must obtain Windrace’s approval before appointing such retail store operators. As of June 30, 2009, authorized third party retail store operators operated 2,416 Xidelong retail stores out of 3,411 total Xidelong retail stores.

Windrace does not have direct contractual relationships with the authorized third party retail store operators and thus it requires its distributors to implement, monitor compliance with and enforce its retail store guidelines on the authorized third party retail store operators.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Save for the provision of subsidies to its distributors for new store openings, renovation subsidies for the renovation and expansion of existing retail stores selling Xidelong products, and the provision of credit terms for settlement of its invoices, Windrace does not make any payment, give any sales incentives, or pay any fee to its distributors. Windrace’s distributors do not pay it any fee other than the purchase price for the purchase of its products. Windrace’s distributors are independent third parties.

For 2006, 2007 and 2008 and the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2009, sales to Windrace’s top five distributors accounted for approximately 58.0%, 43.4%, 46.3% and 32.7%, respectively, of Windrace’s total revenue. During the same periods, sales to Windrace’s single largest distributor accounted for approximately 18.5%, 13.8%, 12.3%, 12.8% and 9.4%, respectively, of Windrace’s total revenue.

Distributorship agreements

The common principal terms of the distributorship agreements are as follows:

Distribution exclusivity — The distributorship agreements allow Windrace’s distributors to sell its products under the Xidelong brand on an exclusive basis.
Geographic exclusivity — distributors must sell Windrace’s products under the Xidelong brand within a defined geographical area.
Product exclusivity — distributors must sell Windrace’s products exclusively at the Xidelong retail stores.
Security deposit — distributors must pay Windrace a fixed sum as security for the performance of their obligations under the agreement.
Sale price — distributors pay a wholesale price for Windrace’s products, which represents a discount to the suggested retail price of its products. Different discount rates apply to footwear, apparel and accessories.
Payment and credit terms — Windrace sets payment and credit terms on a case-by-case basis with each distributor. Windrace generally gives a credit period of two months to its distributors.
Sales target — Windrace has the right to terminate the agreement if a distributor fails to meet sales targets for two consecutive years.
Training — Windrace provides training to employees of the distributors on a periodic basis. Its training includes knowledge of its products, marketing skills, product display, window display and operation management. Distributors pay for all costs associated with such training.
Windrace’s support — Windrace provides its distributors with free promotional material such as newspaper advertisements, product descriptions and video of its advertisements.

Windrace can renew the distributorship agreements on an annual basis solely at its option. Starting in 2009, Windrace has allowed distribution agreements of three years in length to strengthen its distribution relationships. Windrace is entitled to terminate a distributorship agreement if the distributor fails to adhere to its market management policies, or fails to meet the sales target.

If a distributor terminates a distributorship agreement with Windrace and there is no replacement distributor, Windrace is not required to repurchase any stock held by the departing distributor. However, Windrace will require any replacement distributor to purchase inventories held by the departing distributor and will coordinate the sale of inventories (including obsolete inventories) from the former distributor to the replacement distributor. The terms on which such sales are made are determined between the departing distributor and the replacement distributor. For out-of-season stock, Windrace coordinates with its distributors in reallocating products to different regions or conducting sales promotional activities.

Ordering of Windrace’s products

The distributors attend sales fairs organized by Windrace to place orders for its products. Prior to 2008, Windrace organized two major sales fairs each year, usually in March to introduce the autumn/winter collections and in September to introduce spring/summer collections to the distributors. Starting from 2008,

126


 
 

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Windrace organized three sales fairs each year, usually in March to introduce the autumn collection, in June to introduce the winter collection and in September to introduce spring/summer collections to its distributors.

New collections are usually introduced to Windrace’s distributors and third-party retailers at its sales fairs, which are normally held four to six months before the introduction of a new season’s products to end consumers. Windrace’s distributors place most of their orders for these new products at the sales fairs, and Windrace uses the orders collected at the sales fairs to determine production schedules for each season and to plan future sales targets. Windrace then manufactures its products in house or though third party contract manufacturers. After completion of production, the products are delivered to its distributors, which in turn either sell the products directly to consumers or to their respective third-party retailers for eventual sales to consumers. We believe that Windrace’s streamlined order, production and sales process allows Windrace to manage its raw material procurement and credit exposure, minimize inventory exposure and increase sales.

Payments for Windrace’s products

Windrace gives its distributors an invoice of the contract price payable at the time the products are delivered. At the same time, Windrace recognizes revenue from its sales. See Windrace’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates — Revenue recognition.”

Prior to 2009, Windrace generally required its distributors to pay 30% of the contract price upon delivery with the remaining 70% paid within 60 days after delivery. Starting from 2009 and to complement the new policy on length of distribution agreements, Windrace extended the payment of the second installment representing 70% of the contract price from 60 days to 120 days after delivery. See “Windrace’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Factors Affecting Windrace’s Results of Operations and Financial Condition — The effect of the recent economic downturns on Windrace.”

Windrace generally assesses the creditworthiness of its distributors based on their credit history and historical sales performance before entering into agreements with them. Windrace requires its distributors to comply with its credit policy. Windrace’s management team monitors its receivable balances on an ongoing basis and makes periodic assessment as to whether a bad debt provision needs to be made on a timely basis. During the years ended December 31, 2006, 2007 and 2008 and the six months ended June 30, 2009, Windrace did not make any bad debt provisions.

As of December 31, 2008, over 97% of the accounts receivable were current in nature. The remaining 3% of the receivables that were due but not impaired relate to a number of distributors that have a good repayment record. Based on the experience of transacting with its distributors in the past, Windrace considered that no provision of doubtful accounts was necessary because there had not been a significant change in the credit quality of the distributors and Windrace believes that the accounts receivable were fully recoverable.

Management of distributors and retail stores

Windrace collects, reviews and analyzes data on the performance of its distributors. It monitors its distributors’ performance in the following manner:

Windrace agrees with the distributors on sales target figures, which vary on a case-by-case basis depending on a distributor’s historical sales figures and prevailing market conditions;
Windrace requires its distributors to submit inventory reports to it, which contain information on inventory levels of the distributors. The inventory reports, however, do not record information on the sales of Windrace’s products to end consumers, whether by Windrace’s distributors or the authorized third party retail store operators. This reporting system enables Windrace to obtain up-to-date information on the sales performance and inventory movement at distributors’ level. See “Inventory Control and Management;”
Windrace appoints one to three regional managers for every province where its distributors operate. These regional managers carry out monthly on-site inspections of the Xidelong retail stores and prepare reports on such inspections. This enables Windrace to identify and inform distributors of any non-performing Xidelong retail stores; and

127


 
 

TABLE OF CONTENTS

in addition to sales target figures, Windrace discusses with its distributors at the beginning of each year their annual performance targets, which includes evaluation criteria such as the number of new retail stores opened and the timeliness of settlement of invoices. At the end of each year, Windrace meets with its distributors and reviews their performance and assigns scores based on such criteria. However, Windrace’s agreements with the distributors do not envisage its inspection of the financial statements of its distributors. If a distributor fails to meet its annual performance targets or scores below an acceptable level, or does not fulfill sales network expansion plans, Windrace has the option to terminate the distributorship agreements. In determining whether to renew or terminate a distributorship, Windrace also assesses their compliance with its policies in respect of marketing activities, daily operations and customer service.

Windrace does not maintain any policy limiting the number of the Xidelong retail stores in any particular region. When a region can sustain more than one store, and before it approves the opening of the additional retail stores, Windrace assesses any additional store’s viability and that of the existing store should any additional store be opened. In particular, Windrace considers factors such as the distributor’s ability to manage and operate the new retail store effectively and, the proximity between the new retail stores and the existing retail stores in the particular region, with a view to avoiding an over concentration of retail stores. Windrace further assesses market conditions such as customer demands, economic growth and development, and any new governmental policies in a particular region to ensure each store in the same area can operate without taking market share away from other stores.

Windrace provides its operational and retail guidelines, policy and procedures to its distributors, which govern store layout, product display, customer service and after-sale service standards. Windrace monitors its distributors to ensure that they operate the Xidelong retail stores in accordance with its guidelines, through the following measures:

Windrace conducts regular site inspections at both distributor and retail store levels. Windrace currently employs more than 55 sales representatives who carry out on-site inspections of random retail stores every quarter. In areas where there are fewer retail stores, Windrace conducts on-site inspections on a monthly basis. At the on-site inspections, Windrace’s sales representatives inspect the major conditions of the retail stores such as location, layout, display shelves and products, quality of sales staff to ensure that they are consistent with Windrace’s operations procedures;
Starting from 2008, Windrace implemented a policy requiring its sales representatives to conduct monthly on-site inspections of at least 20 retail stores in order to monitor more effectively the distributors’ and authorized third party retail store operators’ compliance with its operational and retail guidelines, policy and procedures, including whether Windrace’s uniform retail prices are enforced;
Windrace requires its distributors to provide records of their sales and promotional activities; and
Windrace provides training to the staff of its distributors and retailers to ensure that they are able to follow sales and promotional guidelines and policies effectively.

As Windrace does not have any direct contractual relationship with authorized third party retail store operators, it relies on its distributors to implement and enforce its operational and retail guidelines, policy and procedures on the authorized third party retail store operators through the distributors’ agreement with the authorized third party retail store operators. As such, Windrace only has limited control over whether authorized third party retail store operators adhere to Windrace’s guidelines. Windrace adopts the same measures with authorized third party retail store operators that it uses to monitor its distributors’ compliance with these guidelines. Its regular site inspections of the retail stores include not only the retail stores directly operated by the distributors but also the retail stores operated by authorized third party retail store operators. Windrace carries out inspections of retails stores operated by authorized third parties together with the distributors who appoint the relevant authorized third party retail store operators.

If a distributor or authorized third party retail store operator fails to comply with Windrace’s operational guidelines, policy and procedures, Windrace gives a non-compliance warning and requires it to take corrective

128


 
 

TABLE OF CONTENTS

measures. In the event of its continued non-compliance, Windrace has the option of terminating the distributorship agreements or to demand the operations of a particular Xidelong retail store to cease.

Windrace determines a time period during which a non-compliant distributor or authorized third party retail store operator must rectify its non-compliance on a case-to-case basis depending on the seriousness of the breach, but it will not normally exceed three months.

Subsidies

Windrace subsidizes its distributors for renovation costs of new, and refurbishment of existing Xidelong retail stores based on the size of such stores. For 2006, 2007 and 2008 and the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2009, Windrace subsidized approximately RMB22.8 million, RMB34.7 million, RMB71.6 million, RMB40.3 million and RMB32.3 million, respectively.

Sales fairs

Windrace holds sales fairs where it showcases its prototype products to potential and existing distributors. Distributors place orders for Windrace’s products at these sales fairs. Windrace launches and sells its new collection of products for each season at these sales fairs. Windrace’s purchase orders at the sales fairs constitute approximately 80% to 90% of its annual revenue. Windrace reviews orders placed at these sales fairs before entering into corresponding sales contracts with the distributors. Windrace held three sales fairs a year starting in 2008. In 2009, Windrace has currently held two sales fairs, one in February and the other in May.

Windrace generally informally offers distributors the flexibility to make downward or upward adjustments to their purchase orders placed at the sales fairs by 10% to 15% before finalization to prevent overflow of inventory among its distributors. Windrace uses orders received from the sales fairs to formulate its production schedules for the relevant season. Before commencement of mass production, Windrace’s senior management reviews orders received from the sale fairs, coordinates with managers of various departments and finalizes a plan of production quantity, type and schedule for confirmation with relevant distributors. After such confirmation, the distributors are not permitted to cancel or adjust these confirmed sales. The distributors receive an invoice at the time the products are delivered and Windrace recognizes its revenue at the same time because Windrace recognizes revenue from the sale of goods when a sale is made and the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the distributors, which generally occurs when the product is sold and delivered to the distributors. See “Windrace’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates.”

Return policy

Windrace does not have any formal return policy with its distributors. Windrace only accepts returns of defective products. However, instead of returning defective products to Windrace, distributors generally choose to sell any defective products at a discount to end customers. Since distributors are required to comply with the Windrace’s pricing policy, distributors must obtain prior written consent from Windrace before they can sell any products at a discount to the suggested retail price. Windrace determines the amount of discounts on a case-by-case basis. Windrace does not provide any compensation to distributors for defective products. To date, the number and value of defective products have been nominal.

In addition, Windrace does not have any obsolete stock arrangements with its distributors. Therefore, Windrace does not have any arrangements with distributors to accept returns of out-of season stock.

Promotion and Marketing

Windrace’s marketing department deals with sales fairs, contracts with distributors, market research and management of distributors. Windrace also has a branding and promotional department that deals mainly with media arrangements, sponsorships and other endorsement activities. Windrace uses a variety of media, such as television, newspapers, magazines, the Internet and outdoor billboard displays to build both regional and nationwide brand recognition. It collaborates with athletes, media celebrities and industry experts on marketing and endorsement arrangements and they act as spokespersons for the Xidelong brand.

Advertising and promotional expenses constituted approximately 7.0%, 7.2%, 7.5%, 4.3% and 3.9% of Windrace’s annual revenue for 2006, 2007 and 2008 and the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2009, respectively.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Spokespersons

Windrace actively seeks reputable spokespersons to promote its brand. From October 2001 to September 2003, Mr. Cai Zhenhua [GRAPHIC MISSING]was a brand spokesperson for Windrace’s products. Mr. Cai is a former table-tennis player and holder of various team and individual titles from numerous World Championships and the Atlanta 1996 Olympic Games. From February 2003 to May 2007, Mr. Aaron Kwok [GRAPHIC MISSING]was a brand spokesperson for Windrace’s products. Mr. Aaron Kwok is a Hong Kong entertainment celebrity who promoted Windrace’s brand name and, Windrace believes, raised its profile across the PRC, especially among younger consumers. As a result, in 2004, Windrace was named the company with the “Most Popular Spokesperson” by SINA Corporation.

In 2007, Windrace engaged Professor Sun Yining [GRAPHIC MISSING]to be a brand spokesperson and strategic marketing consultant. Professor Sun is a research member of the Hefei Institute of Intelligent Machines and is a leading scholar on sensor technology and artificial intelligence in the PRC. The appointment of Professor Sun is in line with Windrace’s objective of branding itself as a manufacturer of sports and leisurewear products with innovative designs and high technological performance.

Sponsorship and endorsement

Windrace actively seeks and is also invited to sponsor various sporting or festive events related to its products. In 2003, Windrace sponsored an “Xidelong Fashion Night” event during China Fashion Week. In 2007, it sponsored an “Xidelong award” at the “Qzone” web design awards. Qzone is a Chinese social networking internet site that is geared toward young designers. Windrace believes its sponsorship of these events helped promote and increase awareness of its brand among young designers, students and net surfers.

Under their cooperation agreements, the China Institute of Sport Science and the Hefei Institute of Intelligent Machines agree to help promote Windrace’s products and Xidelong brand at various marketing and promotion events. See “Research and Development.”

Pricing

Windrace determines the prices of its products based on a variety of factors, including the costs of raw materials and production, market conditions (including the spending power of consumers) and the prices of competitors’ products. The prices of Windrace’s products increased relatively steadily during the years ended December 31, 2006, 2007 and 2008 and the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2009 due to increasing awareness of its brand name, product quality and research and development. We believe Windrace could increase its prices without losing market shares despite fierce competition. See Windrace’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Factors Affecting Windrace’s Results of Operations and Financial Condition — The effect of the recent economic downturns on Windrace.”

Windrace has adopted a suggested retail price system that is applied nationwide to all retail stores operated by its distributors or third-party retailers to maintain brand image and avoid price competition among its distributors and third-party retailers. In addition, Windrace’s distributors must obtain its prior written approval before carrying out any promotional events or selling its products (including newly launched products) at a discount. For sales of Windrace’s products with deviation from specification at a discount to suggested retail prices to end customers, see “Risk Factors — Risks Relating to Windrace’s Business — The wholesale prices at which Windrace sells its products to its distributors are determined by factors beyond its control. In addition, sales of Windrace’s products at a discount to suggested retail price to end customers could have an adverse effect on Windrace’s business and brand name.”

The table below sets forth the retail price range of Windrace’s products for the periods indicated:

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The Directors intend to keep the pricing of Windrace’s products at reasonable levels in the foreseeable future in order to stay competitive and maintain product demand.

Competition

The sports and leisure industry is highly competitive in the PRC. Windrace competes with an increasing number of international and domestic sports and leisure footwear companies, sports and leisure apparel companies, sports accessories companies, and large companies with diversified lines of sports and leisure shoes, apparel and accessories. Windrace expects competition to further intensify due to the entry of new foreign and domestic sports and leisurewear retailers in the PRC and as a result it may be required to adjust its prices in response to its competitors’ pricing policies. Windrace’s ability to maintain or further increase its profitability will primarily depend on its ability to compete effectively by leveraging its leading market position in the PRC, its brand recognition and product portfolio, its distributors’ extensive retail distribution network, its experienced management and its product designs to differentiate itself from its competitors.

Performance style and quality of footwear, apparel and accessories, new product development, price, product identity through marketing and promotion, and support to distributors and customer service are important aspects of competition in the sports footwear, apparel and accessories business. We believe that Windrace is competitive in all these areas particularly as a result of, what it believes is, its brand name, product quality and research and development.

Employees

As of June 30, 2009, Windrace had a total of 2,996 full-time employees. The following sets forth the number of employees at June 30, 2009:

Windrace has made contributions in relation to the retirement of its employees in accordance with applicable laws and regulations in the PRC which require contribution by both its employees and itself at a fixed percentage of the salaries of its employees. For 2006, 2007 and 2008 and the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2009, the employee social insurance (including Windrace’s retirement contribution) paid by Windrace amounted to approximately RMB6.9 million, RMB10.5 million, RMB14.5 million, RMB6.2 million and RMB8.4 million, respectively, which represented 16.9%, 17.5%, 19.6%, 16.9% and 18.6% of the total salaries of Windrace’s employees during the same periods.

For the year ended December 31, 2006, Windrace paid year-end bonuses of RMB7.3 million to 1,546 employees meeting performance targets in that year. For the year ended December 31, 2007, Windrace paid year-end bonuses of RMB5.9 million to 559 employees meeting performance targets in that year. For the year ended December 31, 2008, Windrace did not pay any year-end bonus to its employees.

Windrace recognizes the importance of protecting and enforcing its intellectual property rights. Windrace safeguards its intellectual property rights through the registration of its trademarks, and may include the relevant protective provisions in contracts with third parties. Windrace’s employees and contract manufacturers are subject to confidentiality agreements but there has been no action taken against any employee or contract manufacturers for a breach of such confidentiality. In addition, Windrace plans to apply for intellectual property rights to any new technologies developed together with scientific and educational institutions. Windrace mitigates the risks of infringement by others through obtaining the appropriate legal services and advice to ensure that its trademarks are adequately protected and to prevent the risks of infringement.

In December 2005, Liu Dingyi registered the Chinese domain name [GRAPHIC MISSING].com” on the China Internet Network Information Center (CNNIC) and used the website to promote and sell travel products and services. On June 8, 2006, Windrace obtained an injunction from the Hubei Province Jingzhou City Intermediate People’s Court restraining Liu Dingyi from infringing Windrace’s trademark and ordered the termination of the domain name registration. In addition, the court awarded Windrace RMB5,000 in damages.

Property

XDLong China owned and occupied a parcel of land with an aggregate site area of approximately 38,784 square meters together with buildings on such land. The buildings comprise Windrace’s production facility, a research and development center, an office space, staff quarters, a recreation center and sports facilities, with an aggregate gross floor area of approximately 99,024 square meters. Windrace has obtained the land use rights certificate in relation to the land and the property ownership certificates for the buildings. The land use rights were granted for industrial use for a term of 50 years from December 25, 2006.

XDLong Fujian owns a parcel of land located within Windrace’s production complex in Jinjiang which has an aggregate site area of approximately 15,277 square meters. Pursuant to the State-owned Land Use Right Transfer Contract, construction on this land must commence by February 28, 2006. XDLong Fujian did not commence construction by such date because Windrace decided to construct its production facilities on another larger parcel of land owned by XDLong China. Windrace has plans to construct additional production facilities on the XDLong Fujian parcel of land. XDLong Fujian is applying to relevant local government agency for postponing construction on the land. However, there is a risk that the local government may repossess the land before XDLong Fujian obtains an approval to postpone construction.

Environmental Protection

Windrace’s manufacturing operations are subject to PRC environmental laws and regulations on air emission, solid waste emission, sewage and waste water, discharge of waste and pollutants, and noise pollution. These laws and regulations include Law of the PRC on Environmental Protection, Law of the PRC on the Prevention and Control of Water Pollution, Law of the PRC on the Prevention and Control of Atmospheric Pollution, Law of the PRC on the Prevention and Control of Pollution from Environmental Noise and Law of the PRC on the Prevention and Control of Environmental Pollution of Solid Waste. Windrace is also subject to periodic monitoring by relevant local government environmental protection authorities.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

According to these environmental laws and regulations, all business operations that may cause environmental pollution and other public hazards are required to incorporate environmental protection measures into their operations and establish a reliable system for environmental protection. Such a system must adopt effective measures to prevent and control pollution levels and harm caused to the environment in the form of waste gas, waste water and solid waste, dust, malodorous gas, radioactive substance, noise, vibration and electromagnetic radiation generated in the course of production, construction or other activities.

Companies in the PRC are also required to carry out an environment impact assessment before commencing construction of production facilities and the installation of pollution treatment facilities that meet the relevant environmental standards and treat pollutants before discharge. Windrace carried out the required environment impact assessment before commencing construction of its production facilities and has obtained all the required permits and environmental approvals for its production facilities.

Windrace’s production facility in Jinjiang received ISO 14001 certification in 2007, which certifies that Windrace’s environmental management system in respect of the design, development, production and service of its products conforms to the environmental management standards.

The main environmental impact from Windrace’s operations is the generation of wastewater and noise pollution from the operation of its production machinery. In order to comply with the relevant environmental protection laws and regulations, Windrace has implemented an environmental protection system to ensure the emissions from its production operations meet the pollution indicators. In addition, Windrace’s production plant is located in an open area, away from residential areas and equipped with an appropriate convection and ventilation system. In order to reduce the impact on the environment, Windrace has enhanced the convection and ventilation system at its production facilities to improve air quality and adopted various measures to prevent and minimize the noise pollution from its production operations.

Health and Safety Matters

The PRC Production Safety Law (the “Production Safety Law”) requires that Windrace maintain safe working conditions under the Production Safety Law and other relevant laws, administrative regulations, national standards and industrial standards. Windrace is required to offer education and training programs to its employees regarding production safety. The design, manufacture, installation, use and maintenance of Windrace’s safety equipment are required to conform with applicable national and industrial standards. In addition, Windrace is required to provide its employees with safety and protective equipment that meet national and industrial standards and to supervise and educate them to wear or use such equipment according to the prescribed rules.

Windrace considers the safety of its employees to be a priority. Windrace has implemented internal health and safety policies in the workplace, available through its handbook on production safety and security procedures, which incorporate safety laws and regulations in the PRC. Windrace has implemented safety guidelines on production procedures for the safe operation of production equipment and machinery during each stage of the production process. Windrace requires its employees to attend occupational safety education training courses on its safety policies and procedures to enhance their awareness of safety issues. Windrace provides and requires its employees to wear suitable protective devices to ensure their safety. Its also provides its employees with free annual medical check-ups.

As required under the Regulation of Insurance for Labor Injury, Provisional Insurance Measures for Maternity of Employees, Interim Regulation on the Collection and Payment of Social Insurance Premiums and Interim Provisions on Registration of Social Insurance, Windrace provides its employees in the PRC with welfare schemes covering pension insurance, unemployment insurance, maternity insurance, injury insurance and medical insurance.

During the years ended December 31, 2006, 2007 and 2008 and the six months ended June 30, 2009, we believe that Windrace was in compliance with all applicable labor and safety laws and regulations in all material respects, and implemented internal safety guidelines and operating procedures. Further, Windrace believes that it is in compliance with the new PRC Labor Contract Law, which came into effect on January 1, 2008, in all respects, and does not believe this new law will have any impact on Windrace group’s business and operations. Since the commencement of its business, none of Windrace’s employees has been involved in

any major accident in the course of their employment and Windrace has never been subject to disciplinary actions with respect to the labor protection issues.

Insurance

We believe Windrace maintains insurance in line with industry standards. Its insurance coverage primarily relate to property insurance.

Windrace does not maintain general product liability insurance for any of its products. Nevertheless, Windrace believes that its practice is in line with the general industry practice in the PRC as product liability insurance is not required under PRC law. During the years ended December 31, 2006, 2007 and 2008 and the six months ended June 30, 2009, Windrace did not receive any material claims from customers or consumers relating to its products.

Legal Compliance and Procedures

As of June 30, 2009, Windrace was not engaged in any material litigation, arbitration or claim, and no material litigation, arbitration or claim is known to be pending or threatened by or against it that would have a material adverse effect on its operation results or financial condition.

Windrace’s PRC legal adviser has confirmed that XDLong China and XDLong Fujian have obtained all necessary permits and licenses for the business activities and their operations comply with all the relevant rules and regulations of the relevant authorities where they operate.

Both 2020 and Windrace believed engaging one audit firm would be more efficient and consistent, therefore Windrace engaged Crowe Horwath LLP to audit the financial statements included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus in February 2009. Crowe Horwath LLP completed audited financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2007 and 2008. The audit was completed on May 14, 2009. The board reviewed information compiled from a substantially final version of such financial statements as part of its fairness consideration for the Acquisition at its meeting on May 3, 2009. In addition, Windrace engaged Ernst & Young to audit the financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2006 and 2007 for a proposed initial public offering on the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong which was subsequently aborted in July 2008 due to unfavorable market conditions. The engagement with Ernst and Young was on a project-basis and solely for the purpose of Windrace’s initial public offering in Hong Kong. The engagement expired automatically upon the abandonment of the proposed initial public offering in July 2008. During the course of its audit in 2009, for the reasons of efficiency and completeness Crowe Horwath LLP re-audited the financial statements of Windrace for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2007 and 2008, which were previously audited by Ernst & Young.

Chapter 4 — Accountants’ Reports And Pro Forma Financial Information of the Rules Governing The Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (“Exchange”) sets out the detailed requirements for accountants’ reports on the profits and losses, assets and liabilities of, and other financial information on an issuer for inclusion in listing documents. Rule 4.03 states that all accountants’ reports must be prepared by certified public accountants who are qualified under the Professional Accountants Ordinance for appointment as auditors of a company and who are independent both of the issuer and of any other company concerned to the same extent as that required of an auditor under the Companies Ordinance and in accordance with the requirements on independence issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants.

Windrace was informed by its former reporting accountants, Ernst & Young, Certified Public Accountants, Hong Kong, that the financial statements of XDLong HK for the period from November 5, 2003 (date of incorporation) to December 31, 2006 were qualified as they covered a period in excess of that permitted by Section 122 of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance and no consolidated financial statements of XDLong HK and its subsidiaries had been prepared as required by Hong Kong Accounting Standard 27 “Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements.” Section 122(3) of the Companies Ordinance states that if any person being a director of a company fails to take all reasonable steps to comply with the provisions of section 122 of the Companies Ordinance, he or she shall, in respect of each offence, be liable to imprisonment and a fine.

The then directors of XDLong HK were not aware of such non-compliance. In order to rectify such non-compliance, XDLong HK applied to the High Court in Hong Kong on June 2, 2008 for a court order for

TABLE OF CONTENTS

XDLong HK to hold an annual general meeting where all the profit and loss accounts of XDLong HK for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2006 will be laid before the meeting and approved.

On June 26, 2008, the High Court in Hong Kong issued an order which required the XDLong HK to:

(i) call a general meeting pursuant to Section 111(2) of the Companies Ordinance;
(ii) lay its profit and loss accounts for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2006 before the XDLong HK at the general meeting pursuant to Section 122(1B)(a) of the Companies Ordinance; and
(iii) extend the period of 9 months specified in Section 122(1A) of the Compliances Ordinance to such period as expires on the date of the intended general meeting to be held pursuant to Section 122(1B)(b) of the Companies Ordinance.

On June 26, 2008, the shareholder of XDLong HK called an annual general meeting and passed a resolution which confirmed the audited accounts of XDLong HK for the period from its date of incorporation to December 31, 2006 had been laid.

The Directors consider that there may have been a previous deficiency in Windrace group’s internal control in ensuring timely financial reporting. However, going forward, regular training will be given to all Directors and senior management by the company secretary and compliance adviser, who are fully qualified to provide advice on the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance, designed to avoid the recurrence of such an incident. Independent non-executive directors with professional knowledge have also been appointed, as well as an audit committee to oversee the financial reporting and internal control procedures of Windrace. In addition, Windrace will continue to engage Hong Kong legal advisers. Windrace believes that these steps are sufficient to ensure timely financial reporting in the future.

On April 25, 2008, XDLong Fujian obtained the approval of the local commercial authority to adjust its current domestic and export sales ratio to reflect the market demand. Windrace’s PRC legal adviser has confirmed that the local commercial authority has the authority to grant the above approval. Windrace’s PRC legal adviser has further confirmed that therefore said adjustment will not have any material adverse effect on Windrace’s legal status and business operations. Windrace has effected the business registration changes and amended its scope of business operations.

WINDRACE’S MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

You should read the following discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operations of Windrace in conjunction with its consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus. This discussion may contain forward-looking statements based on current expectations involving risks and uncertainties. Windrace’s actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including those set forth under “Risk Factors” or in other parts of this proxy statement/prospectus.

Overview

Windrace designs, develops and wholesales footwear, apparel and accessories under the “[GRAPHIC MISSING]” (Xidelong) brand name and the “ [GRAPHIC MISSING]” trademark in China. Windrace is one of the leading PRC sports and leisurewear companies in China with a market share of 3.2% by revenue. Foreign and domestic branded sports and leisurewear products each accounted for approximately half of the market share in China in 2007 and Windrace was one of the top five domestic branded sports and leisurewear manufacturers according to ZOU Marketing. Since Windrace began its operations in January 2002, it has experienced significant growth in second and third tier cities in China. Windrace has three principal categories of products: (i) footwear, which mainly comprises running, leisure, basketball, skateboarding, canvas, tennis and outdoor footwear, (ii) apparel, which mainly comprises sports tops, pants, jackets, track suits and coats, and (iii) accessories, which mainly comprise bags, socks, hats and caps. Windrace’s footwear, apparel and accessories represented 54.0%, 45.0% and 1.0% of its total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively, the market for which has been rapidly growing in China recently due to an increasing demand for lifestyle and leisure products and what Windrace believes is a heightened interest in health consciousness among Chinese customers.

Windrace places great emphasis on the comfort and functionality of its products. In particular, it focuses its research and development efforts on designing sports and leisure footwear, especially running footwear, tailored to the needs of PRC consumers. The China Institute of Sport Science, General Administration of Sport of China, the research center established by the General Administration of Sport of China and China’s first government agency engaging in research in the field of sport science, selected Windrace exclusively to collaborate on research and development efforts in China. Under its agreement with the China Institute of Sport Science, Windrace is required to pay an annual fee to the China Institute of Sport Science for their assistance with the research and development of technology for its sports footwear and apparel and the promotion of the technology content of its products. In addition, Windrace has the exclusive right to use the endorsement “The Strategic Partner of the China Institute of Sport Science” on its products and the first right to use the know-how developed through its activities with the China Institute of Sport Science. As the exclusive partner of the China Institute of Sport Science, Windrace allows the China Institute of Sport Science to use its research and development center in Jinjiang. Windrace’s commitment to the comfort and quality of its footwear for each individual is represented by slogans in its promotional campaigns such as “The Foot Knows Comfort”, “Run Freely” and Respect Yourself.”

Windrace distributes its products mainly through the Xidelong retail stores, which sell Windrace’s products exclusively and do not carry or sell other brands’ products. As of June 30, 2009, all Xidelong retail stores were owned and operated by Windrace’s 23 distributors. Some of the stores are operated directly and the remaining indirectly through third parties. Windrace has contractual relationships only with its distributors and not with authorized third party retail store operators. Windrace believes that the sale of its products through distributors has enabled it to grow by leveraging on their regional retail expertise and economies of scale. Windrace provides retail policies and guidelines, training, advertising and marketing support as well as renovation subsidies to assist its distributors in the management and expansion of the Xidelong retail sales network. As of June 30, 2009, there were 3,411 Xidelong retail stores, of which 995 were operated directly by distributors and the remaining 2,416 were operated indirectly through authorized third party retail store operators. The number of the Xidelong retail stores grew from 1,483 as of December 31, 2006 to 3,277 as of December 31, 2008, representing a CAGR of 48.7%.

Windrace manufactures its products through a combination of internal and external production. Windrace’s production facility has a gross floor area of approximately 66,102 square meters and houses nine production lines with an aggregate annual production capacity of approximately nine million pairs of footwear.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

During the years ended December 31, 2006, 2007 and 2008, Windrace outsourced a portion of its footwear production, generally with a lower technology content, to three contract manufacturers, and all of its apparel and accessories production to more than 30 contract manufacturers. During the six months ended June 30, 2009, Windrace outsourced a portion of its footwear production to three contract manufacturers, and all of its apparel and accessories production to more than ten contract manufacturers. The percentages of the production of its footwear that Windrace outsourced to its contract manufacturers in terms of sales volume increased from 20.3% in 2006, to 37.1% in 2007 and to 47.8% in 2008. The percentages of footwear production that Windrace outsourced to its contract manufacturers, however, decreased from 55.4% during the six months ended June 30, 2008 to 21.9% during the six months ended June 30, 2009 because Windrace increased production of its footwear products in house due to increased production capacity and decreased purchases from contract manufacturers. Increased in-house production gives Windrace more control over footwear production and allows Windrace to save costs.

Windrace’s revenues increased significantly at a CAGR of 62.7% from RMB687.6 million in 2006 to RMB1,820.3 million in 2008. The growth during these periods was attributable to Windrace’s business expansion and increased demand for Windrace’s products. Windrace’s revenue, however, decreased from RMB1,017.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008 to RMB816.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009 due primarily to the reduction of delivery due to anticipated reduced consumer demand arising from the financial crisis and economic downturn that began in 2008.

Basis of Presentation

The following discussion and analysis of Windrace’s financial condition and results of operations is based on the selected financial information at and for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2007 and 2008 and the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2009 and has been prepared based on the financial statements of the companies now comprising Windrace and its consolidated subsidiaries, or the Windrace group, after elimination of inter-company transactions. This information should be read in conjunction with the financial information and notes thereto included in the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.

The reorganization of Windrace involved a combination of entities under the common control of Mr. Lin Shuipan and Ms. Chen Xiayu. Under paragraphs 10 through 13 of IFRS 3, “Business Combinations” (“IFRS 3”), a combination of entities under common control is deemed to be outside the scope of IFRS 3. Since the reorganization of Windrace did not result in any change in the effective control of Windrace or the relative shareholder interests before and after the reorganization, the accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a consolidated (combined) basis at historical cost for all periods presented. On this basis, Windrace has been treated as the holding company of its subsidiaries for all periods presented.

The consolidated income statements, consolidated statements of changes in equity and consolidated cash flow statements of Windrace include the results of operations and cash flows of Windrace and its consolidated subsidiaries and have been prepared as if the current group structure had been in existence at January 1, 2006, or since the respective dates of their incorporation or establishment. The consolidated balance sheets of Windrace at December 31, 2006, 2007 and 2008 and at June 30, 2008 and 2009, have been prepared to present the assets and liabilities of Windrace and its consolidated subsidiaries at the respective dates as if the current group structure had been in existence at those dates.

The financial information has been prepared in accordance with IFRS (which comprise standards and interpretation approved by the IASB and the International Accounting Standards (“IAS”) and Standing Interpretations Committee interpretations approved by the International Accounting Standards Committee). All IFRS effective for the accounting periods commencing January 1, 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009, together with the relevant transitional provision, have been adopted by Windrace in the preparation of the financial information throughout the years ended December 31, 2006, 2007 and 2008 and the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2009.

The financial information has been prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with the accounting policies set out in the financial statements included elsewhere in this proxy statement/ prospectus which conform with IFRS and is presented in Renminbi with all values rounded to the nearest thousand except when otherwise indicated.

Factors Affecting Windrace’s Results of Operations and Financial Condition

Windrace’s financial condition and results of operations have been and will continue to be affected by a number of factors, including those set forth below.

The PRC economic growth

Windrace’s financial condition and results of operations have been driven by macro-economic conditions, increased disposable income and consumer spending in the PRC. During the years ended December 31, 2006, 2007 and 2008 and the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2009, Windrace derived all of its revenue from domestic sales in the PRC. According to the National Bureau of Statistics of China, the PRC economy grew at a CAGR of approximately 12.1% from 1997 to 2007. From 1997 to 2007, the per capita annual disposable income of urban households in China grew at a CAGR of approximately 10.3% and consumer spending as measured by total retail sales value grew at a CAGR of approximately 11.1%. In addition, although the global economy has been affected by the financial crisis and economic downturns that began in 2008, per capita consumption in China increased by 8.6% in the first quarter in 2009 compared to the first quarter in 2008 according to the National Bureau of Statistics of China. Statistics published by the General Administration of Sport of China suggest that there is a general correlation between disposable income and sports participation in China. Windrace expects that its results of operations will continue to be driven by the growth of the PRC economy and increased disposable income and consumer spending in the PRC, particularly in the provinces and municipalities in which it operates.

The effect of the recent economic downturn on Windrace

The financial crisis and global economic downturn that began in 2008 have presented challenges to economies worldwide, including China. Windrace experienced a decline in sales volumes and revenues due to decreased consumer spending in the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2008. However, despite the decline in revenue and sales volume, the average selling prices of Windrace’s products increased in the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2008 due to increased recognition of the Xidelong brand in China as a result of marketing and brand promotion efforts over the years. We believe that Windrace will be able to continue to increase the selling prices of its products in the future due to increasing awareness of its brand name, its product quality and its research and development efforts.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Windrace sources purchase orders primarily at sales fairs, and such orders constituted approximately 80% to 90% of its annual revenue. Purchase order quantities may be subsequently adjusted upward or downward by amounts ranging from 10% to 15% before finalization. In 2008, Windrace agreed with certain distributors to reduce orders by 15% to 20% to prevent overflow of inventory among such distributors due to anticipated reduced consumer demand arising from the financial crisis and economic downturn that began in 2008. However, Windrace received an increased number of orders during the sales fair held in February 2009 compared to that held in September 2008 as consumer confidence improved and signs of economic recovery started to emerge in China. According to the National Bureau of Statistics of China, total retail sales of consumer products, the primary gauge of consumer spending in China, increased by 15.2% in May 2009 compared to May 2008. Windrace believes that its financial performance will continue to improve if consumer spending continues to increase in China.

According to the National Bureau of Statistics of China, urban retail sales accounted for nearly 70% of total retail sales in 2008. Urban consumption is expected to continue to be the primary contributor to consumer consumption in China. Windrace focuses its business in second and third tier cities in inland China, which are not as adversely affected by the financial crisis and the economic downturns as the coastal cities in China. Windrace believes it will be able to continue to capture the retail sales growth opportunities in second and third tier cities in China characterized by increasing urbanization, strong economic development and significant room for future growth.

Management of collection of trade receivables

One of Windrace’s strategies during the financial crisis and the economic downturn is to grow the distribution network through its distributors by enhancing its relationship with them. Starting from 2009, Windrace extended the payment of the second installment representing 70% of the contract price from 60 days to 120 days after delivery as the duration of distributorship agreements has been extended from one to three years. The extended agreements allow Windrace to establish long-term relationships with its distributors. For Windrace’s distributors that experienced difficulties in their liquidity, the longer credit period allows them to overcome the unfavorable market condition confronting businesses worldwide. For Windrace’s distributors that do not have difficulties in their liquidity, the longer credit period gives them more flexibility to grow the distribution network during the economic downturn in a cost effective manner.

Windrace has adopted tightened credit verification procedures for every distributor who would like to apply for credit terms. Distributors are required to make a 30% down payment on every purchase order they made. The balance of the payment will then be due after four months from the invoice date. Trade receivables are monitored on an ongoing basis, and Windrace has the sole discretion to cease doing business with distributors who fail to make payment within the credit period.

For any distributors whose balance is overdue for more than 30 days, the sales manager in charge will closely monitor such distributor and investigate the reason it is overdue. If the overdue amount is caused by the financial difficulties of the distributors, Windrace will stop the shipment of all undelivered products and Windrace will make allowances for uncollectable receivables in accordance with its assessment of the recoverability of the outstanding balance. No provision for uncollectibility of the overdue balance will be made if (1) the distributor has good trading record in the past and agrees to settle the overdue balance within 30 days; (2) the distributor continues to settle the outstanding balance; and (3) there is a dispute on the overdue balance with the distributor and is subject to clarification.

Moreover, Windrace has maintained good relationships with all the distributors for many years and has rarely encountered any difficulties on collection of account receivables. Up to July 2009, all the distributors were able to settle all trade receivable balances on time and no balance has been past due since the adoption of the extended credit period. Therefore, Windrace’s management belives that it has already taken adequate measures to ensure timely settlement by the distributors and the extended credit period has not materially adversely affected Windrace’s liquidity and working capital or affected the management’s judgment on the collectability of the outstanding balances from distributors.

Increased consumer demand for sportswear products in the PRC

Consumer demand for sportswear in the PRC is one of the key drivers of Windrace’s revenue. The success of Windrace’s business depends in large part on the growth in the PRC consumer market, particularly

139


 
 

TABLE OF CONTENTS

consumer demand for sportswear products. As general living standards in the PRC continue to improve, Windrace expects consumer demand in the PRC to shift increasingly towards lifestyle enhancing products, such as sportswear, which we believe will increase its sales. For example, China’s sportswear market has experienced double-digit growth since 2000 and ZOU Marketing has forecasted that the PRC sportswear market will continue to grow at a CAGR of 20.3% from 2008 to 2013. We also believe that the 2009 East Asian Games in Hong Kong and the 16th Asian Games in Guangzhou in 2010 will generate more interest in sports and corresponding consumer demand for sportswear products in the PRC.

Competitive pricing of Windrace’s products to increase its profitability

Windrace has been able to increase its gross profit margins through competitive pricing of its products and effective cost management. To increase sales volumes, Windrace’s pricing policy is to offer a range of products which are set at different price points with the aim of targeting different segments within the mid-range market. Currently, the average retail prices for Windrace’s sports and leisure footwear range from approximately RMB200 to RMB300. The gross profit margin for footwear has increased from 25.3% for the year ended December 31, 2006 to 28.3% for the year ended December 31, 2008. The gross profit margin for apparel has increased from 26.2% for the year ended December 31, 2006 to 26.3% for the year ended December 31, 2008. The gross profit margin for accessories has increased from 21.8% for the year ended December 31, 2006 to 25.8% for the year ended December 31, 2008. In addition, despite the decline in revenue and sales volume as a result of the reduction of delivery due to anticipated reduced consumer demand arising from the financial crisis and economic downturn that began in 2008 in the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2008, the average selling prices of Windrace’s products increased in the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2008 due to increased recognition of the Xidelong brand in China as a result of marketing and brand promotion efforts over the years. In order to maintain its price competitiveness and sales volumes, Windrace reviews its pricing strategy regularly to make adjustments based on various factors, including the market response to existing recommended retail prices, the level of sales, the expected product margin on individual products, the prices of its competitors’ products, and the anticipated market trends and expected demand from customers.

Diversified product portfolio to increase revenue

Windrace believes that a diversified product mix and a wide range of merchandise available in the Xidelong retail stores have been important factors in attracting customers and to increases Windrace’s revenue. During the years ended December 31, 2006, 2007 and 2008 and the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2009, Windrace changed the mix of its footwear products with an aim to increase its revenues generated from different footwear product categories. To further diversify revenue sources, Windrace introduced three types of new footwear products, i.e., tennis, outdoor and beach footwear, in 2008. To allocate resources to produce other footwear products that are more popular to consumers, Windrace discontinued the sales of beach footwear during the six months ended June 30, 2009. In addition to footwear products, sales of apparel and accessories also contributed to the growth in Windrace’s revenue. The proportion of its revenue derived from apparel increased from 43.8% of its total revenue in 2006 to 47.1% of its total revenue in 2008. In addition, the proportion of its revenue derived from apparel decreased from 47.5% of its revenue in the six months ended June 30, 2008 to 45.0% of its revenue in the six months ended June 30, 2009. Windrace will continue to monitor customer demand and adjust its product mix as it deems necessary to increase its average selling prices, revenue and gross profit margins.

The growth of Windrace’s network through distributors

Windrace distributes its products mainly through the Xidelong retail stores, which offer Windrace’s products exclusively and do not carry other brands’ products. Windrace’s 23 distributors own and operate all Xidelong retail stores. They operate some of the Xidelong retail stores directly and delegate operation of the remaining stores to third parties. As of June 30, 2009, Windrace’s 23 distributors operated a network of 3,411 Xidelong retail stores located in 28 provinces and municipalities in the PRC. Windrace’s growth is largely driven by the business performance of its distributors and the pace of expansion of the network of the Xidelong retail stores. The number of distributors has remained relatively steady: as of December 31, 2006, 2007 and 2008 and June 30, 2008 and 2009, Windrace had 19, 22, 22, 22 and 23 distributors. We believe that Windrace’s ability to supervise and manage its distributors is critical to their continued performance and contribution to increase Windrace’s revenue.

Competitive advantage

Windrace is one of the leading PRC sports and leisurewear companies in China with a market share of 3.2% by revenue. Foreign and domestic branded sports and leisurewear products each accounted for approximately half of the market share in China in 2007 and Windrace was one of the top five domestic branded sports and leisurewear manufacturers according to ZOU Marketing. In addition, Windrace focuses primarily on second and third tier cities in China, particularly in the Southwestern Region, Northeastern Region and Northwestern Region of China, characterized by increasing urbanization and strong economic development, which we believe present the best opportunity for retail sales growth. Windrace believes that it will be able to leverage its leading market position, brand recognition and product portfolio, extensive retail distribution network, experienced management and product designs in the PRC to maintain its competitive advantage. For risks relating to competition in the sportswear manufacturing industry in China, see Risk Factors — Risks Relating to the Industry in Which Windrace Operates — Windrace’s products face intense competition.”

Effective cost management

The major raw materials used in the production of Windrace’s footwear products are natural and synthetic leather, nylon, canvas, rubber and plastics. To meet its production requirements and to remain profitable, Windrace must obtain sufficient quantities of good quality raw materials from its suppliers in a timely manner and at commercially reasonable prices. In addition, Windrace uses crude oil and electricity in its production. Therefore, increases in crude oil prices and electricity costs would increase Windrace’s production costs. Windrace believes that it will be able to offset a portion of any such increased costs through improvement of its production efficiency and utilization of economies of scale. Historically, Windrace has been successful in reducing cost of raw materials as a percentage of total cost of sales. For 2006, 2007 and 2008 and the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2009, the purchase of raw materials for Windrace’s own production requirements accounted for 29.5%, 21.3%, 18.0%, 14.6% and 23.6%, respectively, of its total cost of sales. Windrace seeks to capitalize on its purchasing and bargaining power to continue to obtain favorable prices from its major suppliers. Because Windrace uses a cost-plus pricing policy to determine the selling price of its products, it is able to pass on increased costs to its distributors. Windrace believes that effective cost management and ability to pass on increased costs to distributors will enable it to maintain and increase its profitability.

Relationship with quality contract manufacturers

In 2008, Windrace outsourced 47.8% of its footwear production by sales volume to three contract manufacturers and all of its apparel and accessories production to more than 30 contract manufacturers. During the six months ended June 30, 2009, Windrace outsourced 21.9% of its footwear production by sales volume to two contract manufacturers and all of its apparel and accessories production to more than ten contract manufacturers. For 2006, 2007, and 2008, the duration of agreements with Windrace’s contract manufacturers for footwear, apparel and accessories had been one year. Starting from 2009, the duration of agreements with Windrace’s contract manufacturers has been extended to two years. Windrace has not terminated its contractual relationships with any of its contract manufacturers of its footwear during the term of the agreements. Due to a larger pool of contract manufacturers of apparel and accessories available for selection, Windrace has been using apparel and accessories contract manufacturers capable of supplying goods with better quality at more competitive prices. Windrace believes long-term contracts with its contract manufacturers as well as the relationships Windrace has established with them over the years will enable Windrace to procure quality contract manufacturers to meet its requirements at commercially reasonable terms. For risks relating to reliance on contract manufacturers, see “Risk Factors — Risks Relating to Windrace’s Business — Windrace relies on its contract manufacturers for the production of a portion of its footwear and all of its apparel and accessories.”

Ability to maintain brand recognition and marketing success

Windrace believes brand recognition is crucial to customers’ purchasing decisions. Windrace positions its Xidelong brand as a high quality sports and leisurewear brand for consumers in the PRC. It places great emphasis on brand building and promotes Xidelong products through advertisements in the media, sponsorship of PRC sports events and various other promotional activities. For 2006, 2007 and 2008 and the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2009, Windrace’s advertising and promotion expenses accounted for 7.0%, 7.2%, 7.5%, 4.2% and 3.9%, respectively, of its total revenue. Windrace intends to increase its marketing budgets for

141

promotional activities in the future in order to further strengthen its brand and market position. We believe Windrace will be able to maintain the position of its Xidelong brand in the market through enhanced marketing efforts to increase market share and promote sales growth.

Seasonality

Windrace’s results of operations have fluctuated from season to season and are likely to remain seasonal. Historically, revenues in the third and fourth quarters have slightly exceeded those in the first and second quarters. The seasonality of Windrace’s results of operations is primarily attributable to the seasonal nature of its footwear and apparel products and the fact that its autumn and winter collections generally command higher selling prices than our spring and summer collections. In addition, other factors such as weather conditions, holiday seasons, the timing of the launch of its new products and the timing of delivery of its products also affect Windrace’s sales from season to season. Due to the seasonal fluctuations of Windrace’s business, comparisons of sales and results of operations between different periods within a financial year, or between different periods in different financial years, are not necessarily meaningful and cannot be relied on as accurate indicators of Windrace’s future performance.

Level of income tax and preferential tax treatment

Windrace’s profit is affected by the income tax that it pays and any preferential tax treatment that it is able to receive. As a foreign-invested enterprise engaged in the manufacturing business, XDLong Fujian is entitled to the preferential tax treatments provided under the Foreign Enterprise Income Tax Law. Accordingly, XDLong Fujian is subject to an enterprise income tax rate of 27% but it is fully exempted from the enterprise income tax during its first two profitable years, followed by a 50% tax reduction for the next three years. Such tax treatment had a significant positive effect on Windrace’s profit after taxation for 2006 and 2007. XDLong China is qualified for the same type of preferential tax treatments as XDLong Fujian because XDLong China is also a foreign-invested enterprise engaged in the manufacturing business. XDLong China started generating profits during the year ended December 31, 2008 and is expected to enjoy tax exemption for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2009 and a 50% corporate income tax reduction for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2011 and 2012.

Pursuant to the new PRC Corporate Income Tax Law (the “New Corporate Income Tax Law”) and its Implementation Rules (effective on January 1, 2008), domestic-invested and foreign-invested enterprises are subject to PRC corporate income tax at the same rate of 25%. Foreign-invested enterprises established prior to the promulgation of the New Corporate Income Tax Law and entitled to tax benefits are able to continue to enjoy the tax benefits before they expire over a 5-year period after January 1, 2008. Consequently, XDLong China is able to continue to enjoy its tax benefits, commencing from its first profitable year but subject to expiration within 5 years from January 1, 2008. With effect from January 1, 2008, the applicable tax rate for XDLong Fujian and XDLong China is 25%.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Windrace’s financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus has been prepared in accordance with IFRS. Windrace has adopted all IFRS effective for the accounting periods commencing January 1, 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009, together with the relevant transitional provisions in the preparation of the financial information throughout the years ended December 31, 2006, 2007 and 2008 and the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2009. The preparation of Windrace’s financial information in accordance with IFRS requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, contingent liabilities, revenue and expenses. The following sets forth the principal accounting policies applied in preparing Windrace’s financial statements that Windrace’s management believes are critical not only because they are important to the portrayal of Windrace’s financial condition and results of operations, but also because the application and interpretation of these policies require both judgments and estimates of matters that are inherently uncertain and unknown. As a result, actual results may differ materially from Windrace’s estimates.

Revenue recognition

Windrace recognizes revenue when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to it and when the revenue can be reliably measured, on the following basis, depending on the source of such revenue: (a) from

142


 
 

TABLE OF CONTENTS

the sale of goods, when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the buyer provided that Windrace maintains neither managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with the ownership, nor effective control over the goods sold; which usually occurs when the product is sold and delivered to the distributors with all transportation and handling costs for delivery of products borne and paid directly by the distributors, and (b) interest income on an accrual basis using the effective interest method by applying the rate that discounts the estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial instruments to the net carrying amount of the financial assets. With respect to the sale of goods, Windrace generally recognizes revenue when a sale is made and the above condition in (a) is met, which generally occurs when the products is sold and delivered to the distributors. All transportation and handling costs for delivery of products are borne and paid directly by the distributors.

In addition, Windrace utilizes preliminary purchase orders received from consultations with distributors at sales fairs to prepare sales estimates and formulate production schedules for upcoming seasons. Purchase orders are subsequently adjusted upward or downward by amounts ranging from 10% to 15% before finalization. Once a purchase order is finalized, Windrace re-confirms the delivery schedule of sales orders with each distributor before shipment. Distributors are invoiced and sales are recognized by Windrace only at the time, and by the amount of, the products ultimately delivered to distributors.

Although Windrace’s policy is to recognize product returns as a reduction of revenue, Windrace has not deemed it necessary to accrue for returns at the time when sales are recorded because Windrace has not had significant product returns or similar claims. Windrace’s management periodically reviews this matter and will consider making such accruals, when there are indications of significant sales returns or similar claims in future periods.

Although Windrace accepts returns of defective products, instead of returning defective products to Windrace, distributors generally choose to sell any defective products at a discount to end customers. Since distributors are required to comply with the Windrace’s pricing policy, distributors must obtain prior written consent from Windrace before they can sell any products at a discount to the suggested retail price. Windrace determines the amount of discounts on a case-by-case basis. Windrace does not provide any compensation to distributors for defective products. To date, the number and value of defective products have been minimal.

Windrace does not have any arrangements with distributors to accept returns of out-of season stock. When in-season new products arrives, the current products on shelves become out-of-season stock. In addition, Windrace does not provide volume-based discount programs or discounts for early payment.

Windrace closely monitors the inventories and sales by distributors by requiring distributors to provide monthly inventory reports since 2008 and quarterly inventory reports prior to 2008. Windrace also monitors the inventory and sales of distributors by reviewing local market condition reports provided by Windrace’s regional sales managers, which assists Windrace in collecting sales and inventory data to arrange production schedules and maintain inventory at optimal levels. In addition, Windrace carries out random on-site inspections of distributors and authorized retail stores to track inventories and sales performance.

Windrace encourages distributors to clear their out-of-season inventory levels. An authorized retailer with excess inventory at the end of a season may attempt to sell such excess inventory through regular and special end-of-season sales. Since distributors must strictly comply with Windrace’s suggested retail pricing policy; they must obtain prior written consent from Windrace before conducting any promotional events or selling any Windrace’s products to consumers at a discount to the suggested retail price. The distributors bear the costs of any sales discounts and Windrace is not required to provide credits or subsidies to distributors for their seasonal clearance sales.

To facilitate the operation and development of Windrace’s business and to promote and enhance its brand recognition nationwide, Windrace provides after-sales assistance and guidance to distributors. Such after-sale assistance and guidance generally include training of distributors’ employees and provision of promotional equipment and marketing brochures. In addition, since all Xidelong retail stores are required to sell Windrace’s products on an exclusive basis, Windrace also provides these retail stores with standardized outlet design and layout, and subsidies for the build-out of new retail stores and renovation of existing retail stores.

143


 
 

TABLE OF CONTENTS

These after-sale assistance and guidance are selected, limited and commonly provided by sportswear manufacturers to their distributors and retailers in China. Moreover, such assistance and guidance does not interfere with the ability of the distributors and retailers to conduct their normal business operations.

As an incentive for distributors to increase the number of authorized retail stores and to create a uniform high-quality store image nationwide, Windrace provides certain build-out and renovation subsidies to qualified authorized retail stores located within the distributors’ designated sales regions. If a particular authorized retail store is operated by a third-party retailer, such subsidies are provided to the retailer through the distributor. Such subsidies are granted and paid when a new or renovated store is approved, and are charged to operations at that time. For 2006, 2007 and 2008 and the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2009, Windrace subsidized approximately RMB22.8 million, RMB34.7 million, RMB71.6 million, RMB40.3 million and RMB32.3 million, respectively. These amounts were included in selling and distribution costs.

Impairment allowances for trade and other receivables

Windrace estimates the impairment allowances for trade and other receivables by assessing the collectability of the receivables based on the related customers’ credit history and prevailing market conditions. Allowances are applied to trade and other receivables where events or changes in circumstances indicate that the balances may not be collectible. Where the expectation is different from the initial estimate, the difference is recognized as an impairment loss in the period in which such estimate is changed. Windrace reassesses the impairment allowances at each balance sheet date.

Historically, Windrace has no experience of bad debts. All the customers who wish to trade on credit terms are subject to credit verification procedures. In addition, receivable balances are monitored on an ongoing basis and Windrace has the sole discretion to cease business with customers who fail to pay within the credit period. Despite the recent fluctuations in the economic environment since the second half of 2008, Windrace has closely monitored the trade receivables balance overdue 30 days and assessed the intention of the repayment from the distributors.

Windrace will not make any provision of the overdue balance if (1) it has continuous trading with the distributor; (2) it receives continuous repayments from the distributor; and (3) it has no dispute on the overdue balance with the distributor.

Windrace will make full provision on such balances if they are considered not recoverable by Windrace.

Up to July 2009, all the distributors were able to settle all trade receivable balance on time and no balance was past due, there is no indication of deterioration in the creditworthiness of Windrace’s distributor.

Inventory

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value after making due allowances for obsolete or slow moving items. Cost is calculated using the weighted average cost formula and comprises all costs of sales incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. When inventories are sold, the carrying amount of those inventories is recognized as cost of sales in the period in which the related revenue is recognized. Net realizable value is based on the estimated selling prices less any estimated costs to be incurred for completion of the production process and disposal upon delivery of finished goods to distributors. If net realizable value is less than cost at the balance sheet date, the carrying amount is reduced to the realizable value, and the difference is recognized as a loss on valuation of inventories. Write-down of inventories to net realizable value is made based on the estimated net realizable value of the inventories. The assessment of the write-down amounts and the timing of such write-downs require estimates and management’s judgment. Where the actual outcome or expectation in future periods is different from management’s estimates, such differences may have a material impact on the carrying amounts of Windrace’s inventories and any write-down amounts and write-back amounts in the period in which such estimate has been changed. No inventory amounts were stated at net realizable value in each of the years in the years ended December 31, 2006, 2007 and 2008 and the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2009 and Windrace did not make any provisions for inventories during the same periods.

Useful lives and impairment of assets

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment (other than construction-in-progress) are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation and are depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the related assets using the straight-line method. Where parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, the cost of that item is allocated on a reasonable basis among the parts and each part is depreciated separately, where practicable. Residual values, useful lives and depreciation method are reviewed and adjusted, if appropriate, at each balance sheet date. Depreciation is recognized as an expense in the consolidated income statements when an asset is available for use, that is, when it is in the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management.

Buildings are depreciated over the shorter of the relevant lease term and a 20-year period and manufacturing equipment, such as plant and machinery, is depreciated over a five to ten-year period. Furniture, fixtures, motor vehicles and office equipment, consisting of computers, office equipment, machinery and software, are depreciated over a five-year period. Leasehold improvement is also depreciated over a five-year period. Construction-in-progress represents costs incurred for the design and construction of the production facility. Windrace’s management determines the estimated useful lives and related depreciation charges for its property, plant and equipment and such estimates are based on historical experience of the actual useful lives of such property, plant and equipment, and where no historical experience is available, based on such property, plant and equipment used for similar nature and functions. Management will increase the depreciation charge where useful lives are less than previously stated amounts based on the estimated life of such property, plant and equipment or will take write-offs or declare as obsolete or non-strategic assets that have been abandoned or sold. Impairment reviews are conducted as events or changes in circumstances indicating that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. The recoverable amounts of property, plant and equipment have been determined based on value-in-use calculations, which require the use of judgment and estimates.

Financial assets

Financial assets within the scope of IAS 39 “Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurements” are classified as loans and receivables. When such financial assets are recognized initially, they are measured at fair value. Windrace assesses whether a financial asset contains an embedded derivative when Windrace first becomes a party to it and assesses whether the embedded derivatives are required to be recognized separately from their financial asset contract when the analysis shows that the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivatives are not closely related to those of the host contract. Reassessment only occurs if there is a change in the terms of the financial asset that significantly modifies the cash flows that would otherwise be required under the financial asset, Windrace determines the classification of its financial assets upon the initial recognition and, where allowed and appropriate, re-evaluates the classification at the balance sheet date reported. All regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognized on the trade date, that is, the dates when Windrace commits to purchase or sell the asset. Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within the period generally established by regulation or convention in the marketplace.

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Such assets are subsequently carried at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Amortized cost is calculated taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and includes fees that are an integral part of the effective interest rate and transaction costs. Gains and losses are recognized in the consolidated income statements when the loans and receivables are derecognized or impaired, as well as through the amortization process.

Windrace assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is any objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired. If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss on loans and receivable carried at amortized cost has been incurred, the amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows (excluding future credit losses that have not been incurred) discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate. The carrying amount of the asset is reduced either directly or through the recognition of an allowance account. The amount of impairment loss is recognized in Windrace’s consolidated income statements in the

145


 
 

TABLE OF CONTENTS

period when it occurs. In relation to trade receivables, an impairment allowance is made when there is objective evidence, such as the probability of insolvency or significant difficulties of the debtor, that Windrace will not be able to collect all of the amounts due under the original term of an invoice. The carrying amount of the receivables is reduced through the use of an allowance account, and impaired receivables derecognized when they are assessed as uncollectible. The identification of impairment allowances of financial instruments and trade and other receivables requires management judgment and estimates.

Gross profit margin

Windrace has a diverse product portfolio, comprising a range of products across its three key segments of footwear, apparel and accessories. During the years ended December 31, 2006, 2007 and 2008, Windrace’s gross profit margin increased primarily due to an increase in the average selling prices across its product lines and improvements in its management of production costs. Windrace’s gross profit margins between its apparel and accessories (which are all outsourced) and its footwear (which are mostly manufactured in house) are comparable primarily due to its pricing strategy for its different product segments based on their cost of sales in order to achieve a reasonable level of gross profit margins.

The following table sets forth a breakdown of Windrace’s gross profit margin for the periods indicated:

Taxation

No provision for Hong Kong profits tax was made as Windrace did not generate any assessable profit arising in Hong Kong during the years ended December 31, 2006, 2007 and 2008 and the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2009. Windrace calculated taxes on profits assessable in the PRC at the prevailing rates, based on existing legislation, interpretations and practices in respect thereof.

The increase in PRC taxes paid was primarily due to the increase in assessable profits of Windrace’s subsidiaries in the PRC as a result of business expansion and growth in revenue.

According to the Income Tax Law of the PRC for Foreign Investment Enterprises and Foreign Enterprises and as approved by relevant PRC tax authorities, XDLong Fujian, a foreign-invested enterprise, was exempt from the PRC corporate income tax for its first two profitable years, commencing January 1, 2003. Thereafter, it was entitled to a 50% reduction in the PRC corporate income tax for the subsequent three years

TABLE OF CONTENTS

from January 1, 2005 to December 31, 2007. Pursuant to the new PRC Corporate Income Tax Law and its Implementation Rules effective from January 1, 2008, starting from January 1, 2008, the applicable tax rate for XDLong Fujian is 25%.

XDLong China, a foreign-invested enterprise, is exempt from the PRC corporate income tax for its first two profitable years, commencing from January 1, 2008. Thereafter, it is entitled to a 50% reduction in the PRC corporate income tax for the subsequent three years from January 1, 2010 to December 31, 2012 (the “Tax Holidays”). Pursuant to the new PRC Corporate Income Tax Law and its Implementation Rules effective from January 1, 2008, the PRC corporate income tax rate for foreign-invested enterprises such as XDLong China is 25%. Existing foreign-invested enterprise, such as XDLong China, however, are entitled to continue to enjoy the Tax Holidays until 2012.

The following table sets forth the reconciliation of the tax expense applicable to profit before tax using the applicable statutory rates in the PRC to the tax expense at Windrace’s effective tax rates for the periods indicated:

Tax charge at our effective rate     9,974       21,783       2,181       582       578  

Prior to January 1, 2008, Windrace operated solely in China and the applicable tax rate was 27%. Starting from January 1, 2008, the applicable tax rates for entities operating in China and Hong Kong were 25% and 17.5%, respectively. Tax charge at Windrace’s effective rate is derived from Windrace’s tax at the applicable tax rates, reduced by lower tax due to Tax Holidays and increased by tax losses not recognized in 2006, 2007 and 2008 and the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2009 at the applicable tax rates.

Other than unrecognized tax losses, there were no other differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Therefore, there was no unprovided deferred tax liability during the years ended December 31, 2006, 2007 and 2008 and the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2009 and at the balance sheet date of December 31, 2006, 2007 and 2008 and June 30, 2008 and 2009.

Results of Operations

Six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to six months ended June 30, 2008

Revenue.  In anticipation of potentially weaker consumer demand in early 2009 and to prevent overflow of inventory among the distributors, Windrace decided to trim production and reduce deliveries from late 2008, and therefore revenue decreased by RMB200.6 million, or 19.7%, from RMB1,017.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008 to RMB816.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009 due primarily to a decrease in deliveries of Windrace’s products. In addition, regional climate change resulted in an extended winter season from 2008 to 2009 in many regions in China. A longer winter adversely affected the delivery schedules to the distributors and sales volumes of Windrace’s spring and summer collections in the first quarter of 2009. The sales volume of footwear decreased from 7.9 million pairs in the six months ended June 30, 2008 to 6.4 million pairs in the six months ended June 30, 2009. The sales volume of apparel decreased from 11.3 million units in the six months ended June 30, 2008 to 9.1 million units in the six months ended June 30, 2009.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The decrease in revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2008 was partially offset by the following:

Increase in sales of skateboarding footwear:  The decrease in revenue was partially offset by the increase in sales volumes of skateboarding footwear by 48.1% and its contribution to revenue by RMB45.5 million due to its popularity among young-aged consumers in China. Skateboarding footwear became the second largest source of revenue in the six months ended June 30, 2009. Running footwear remained Windrace’s best selling product in the six months ended June 30, 2009.
Introduction of new products:  To diversify Windrace’s revenue sources, Windrace introduced tennis footwear and outdoor footwear as new products in September 2008. The introduction of these new products contributed to an increase of revenue by RMB53.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009 whereas Windrace did not generate revenue from these products for the six months ended June 30, 2008.
Increase in the number of distributors:  To further expand Windrace’s distribution network, Windrace’s distributors increased from 22 in the six months ended June 30, 2008 to 23 in the six months ended June 30, 2009 and the number of Windrace’s retail stores increased from 2,980 as of June 30, 2008 to 3,411 as of June 30, 2009, leading to a contribution of revenue growth by RMB18.4 million.
Increase in average selling prices:  As a result of increased consumer recognition of the Xidelong brand resulting from marketing and brand promotion efforts over the years, the average selling price of footwear products increased by 5.1% despite the economic downturn. The increase in revenues resulting from the increase in average selling prices of footwear and accessories was partially offset by a decrease in average selling price of apparel by 5.4%. The increase in average selling prices led to a contribution of revenue growth by RMB13.0 million.

Cost of sales.  Cost of sales decreased 22.1% from RMB744.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008 to RMB579.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009. This decrease in cost of sales was primarily due to decreases in purchases of finished goods from contract manufacturers by RMB260.9 million because Windrace increased production of its footwear products in house due to increased production capacity.

The decrease in cost of sales in the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2008 was partially offset by an increase in purchase of raw materials because Windrace increased production of its footwear products in house due to increased production capacity and decreased purchases from contract manufacturers. The decrease in cost of sales in the six months ended June 30, 2009 was partially offset by an increase in manufacturing overhead costs and labour costs by RMB13.6 million due to increased salaries, social insurance and benefit expenses arising from an increased number of Windrace’s production supervisors and workers to accommodate its expansion as well as depreciation arising from increase in production capacities.

Gross profit.  Windrace’s gross profit decreased 13.3% from RMB273.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008 to RMB237.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009, primarily as a result of a decrease in sales. Windrace’s overall gross profit margin increased from 26.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2008 to 29.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2009 primarily as a result of the increase in average selling prices of its products due to enhanced brand recognition. The rate of decrease in revenues in the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2008 exceeded the rate of decrease in cost of sales during the same periods.

Other income and gains.  Other income and gains remained RMB0.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and the six months ended June 30, 2009. Other income and gains include relate to interest income.

Selling and distribution costs.  Selling and distribution costs decreased 19.1% from RMB92.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008 to RMB74.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009. This decrease in selling and distribution costs was primarily due to decreased marketing activities and advertisement expenses arising from Windrace’s sponsorship of “Sports World”, a television sport program featured on

TABLE OF CONTENTS

CCTV Olympic Games channel running from January to September 2008 in anticipation of the Olympic Games in Beijing in August 2008 to promote its brand. Retail store renovation subsidies decreased 19.9% from RMB40.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008 to RMB32.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009 because of fewer Xidelong retail store openings for the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2008.

Administrative expenses.  Administrative expenses increased 6.6% from RMB15.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008 to RMB20.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009 primarily due to the recognition of increased salaries for the administrative staff as a result of recruitment of new personnel with higher salaries.

Research and development expenses.  Research and development expenses increased 59.5% from RMB8.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008 to RMB13.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009 primarily due to the increase in expenses associated with the design of new products and product parts and Windrace’s research and development efforts with the China Institute of Sport Science and the Hefei Institute of Intelligent Machines.

Finance costs.  Finance costs increased 168.8% from RMB6.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008 to RMB17.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009 primarily due to interest arising from the preferred shares issued to Elevatech on April 30, 2008 carrying an internal rate of return of 12%.

Profit before tax.  As a result of the foregoing, Windrace’s profit before tax decreased 23.2% from RMB151.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008 to RMB116.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009.

Tax.  Tax remained RMB0.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and the six months ended June 30, 2009 primarily due to commencement of tax holidays enjoyed by XDLong China starting from 2008.

Profit for the six-month period.  As a result of the above factors, Windrace’s profit for the six months ended June 30, 2009 was RMB151.1 million, a decrease of 23.3% from RMB115.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008.

Year ended December 31, 2008 compared to the year ended December 31, 2007

Revenue.  Revenue increased 40.4% from RMB1,296.4 million in the year ended December 31, 2007 to RMB1,820.3 million in the year ended December 31, 2008 primarily due to the following:

Increase in sales volumes:  The increase in sales volumes contributed to a revenue growth by RMB438.1 million. The increase was primarily attributable to the overall economic growth in China, increased production capacity by two million pairs by adding two additional production lines in June 2008, increased demand for Windrace’s products at existing Xidelong retail stores, new openings of Xidelong retails stores, an increase in the variety of apparel products and an increase in the average size of the Xidelong retail stores with larger display areas for accessories. The deliveries of footwear increased from 10.3 million pairs in the year ended December 31, 2007 to 13.4 million pairs in the year ended December 31, 2008. The sales volume of apparel increased from 13.2 million units in the year ended December 31, 2007 to 16.8 million units in the year ended December 31, 2008.
Introduction of new products:  To diversify Windrace’s revenue sources, Windrace introduced beach footwear in June 2008 and tennis and outdoor footwear in September 2008. The introduction of these new products contributed to an increase of revenue by RMB24.2 million for year ended December 31, 2008 whereas Windrace did not generate revenue from these products for the year ended December 31, 2007.
Increase in the number of retail stores:  The number of distributors remained at 22 in the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2008. However, the number of Xidelong retail stores increased from 2,519 as of December 31, 2007 to 3,277 as of December 31, 2008, leading to a contribution of revenue growth by RMB14.6 million.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Increase in average selling prices:  As a result of increased consumer recognition of the Xidelong brand resulting from marketing and brand promotion efforts over the years, the average selling prices of all product types increased. In particular, footwear and apparel experienced an increase in average selling prices by 5.4%and 12.1%, respectively, leading to a contribution of revenue growth by RMB47.1 million.

The increase in revenue from the year ended December 31, 2007 to the year ended December 31, 2008 was partially offset by the decrease in revenue from basketball footwear by RMB28.3 million due to its relatively higher selling price and increasing fashion trend toward skateboarding footwear.

Cost of sales.  Cost of sales increased 37.9% from RMB959.5 million in the year ended December 31, 2007 to RMB1,323.3 million in the year ended December 31, 2008. The increase in cost of sales was primarily due to increased purchases of finished products by RMB335.5 million from contract manufacturers to meet the increase in deliveries resulting from increased demand for its products. The increase in cost of sales was also attributable to increased purchases of raw materials by RMB33.9 million for Windrace’s own production of footwear products.

The increase in cost of sales in the year ended December 31, 2008 compared to the year ended December 31, 2007 was partially offset by the decrease in fixed costs by RMB3.5 million primarily because Windrace did not incur any rental expenses in the year ended December 31, 2008 due to termination of leases for its production facilities after completion of its own production facility in Jinjiang in March 2007. The decrease in fixed costs was partially offset by an increase in depreciation by RMB2.7 million due to an increase in production capacities through addition of two more production lines and the completion of factory buildings in March 2007.

Gross profit.  Windrace’s gross profit increased 47.5% from RMB336.9 million in the year ended December 31, 2007 to RMB497.0 million in the year ended December 31, 2008 primarily as a result of an increase in sales. Windrace’s overall gross profit margin increased from 26.0% in 2007 to 27.3% in 2008 primarily a as a result of the increase in average selling prices of its products due to enhanced brand recognition. The rate of increase in revenues in the year ended December 31, 2008 compared to the year ended December 31, 2007 exceeded the rate of increase in cost of sales during the same periods.

Other income and gains.  Other income and gains increased 33.3% from RMB0.9 million for 2007 to RMB1.2 million for 2008. Other income and gains include subsidy income from the Jinjiang local government for Windrace’s technological innovation and interest income.

Selling and distribution costs.  Selling and distribution costs increased 64.7% from RMB137.1 million for 2007 to RMB225.8 million for 2008. This increase in selling and distribution costs was primarily due to increases in advertising and promotional expenses, retail store renovation subsidies and sales fair expenses. Advertising and promotional expenses increased 47.8% from RMB93.0 million for 2007 to RMB137.5 million for 2008, primarily due to increased marketing activities and advertisement expenses to promote Windrace’s brand in anticipation of the Olympic Games in 2008 in China, including sponsorship of “Sports World”, a sport program featured on CCTV Olympic Games channel running from January to September 2008. Retail store renovation subsidies increased 106.1% from RMB34.7 million for 2007 to RMB71.5 million for 2008 primarily due to the expansion of the distributors’ distribution network. Sales fair expenses increased 81.3% from RMB1.6 million for 2007 to RMB2.9 million for 2008 because Windrace organized three sales fairs in 2008 whereas it organized two sales fairs in 2007.

Administrative expenses.  Administrative expenses decreased 2.7% from RMB30.0 million for 2007 to RMB29.2 million for 2008 primarily due to reduced salaries of administrative staff because Windrace did not pay bonuses in 2008 and reduced purchase of office supplies, which was partially offset by the increase in miscellaneous taxes and duties and depreciation.

Aborted IPO expenses.  Windrace incurred RMB31.4 million in 2008 as expenses for a proposed initial public offering on the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong which was subsequently aborted due to unfavorable market conditions while Windrace did not incur such expenses in 2007.

Research and development expenses.  Research and development expenses increased 37.5% from RMB12.8 million for 2007 to RMB17.6 million for 2008 primarily due to the increase in expenses associated with the design of new products and product parts and Windrace’s research and development efforts with the China Institute of Sport Science and the Hefei Institute of Intelligent Machines.

Finance costs.  Finance costs increased 1,578.6% from RMB1.4 million for 2007 to RMB23.5 million for 2008 primarily due to interest arising from the preferred shares issued to Elevatech on April 30, 2008 carrying an internal rate of return of 12%.

Year ended December 31, 2007 compared to the year ended December 31, 2006

Revenue.  Revenue increased 88.5% from RMB687.6 million in the year ended December 31, 2006 to RMB1,296.4 million in the year ended December 31, 2007 primarily due to the following:

Increase in sales volumes:  The increase in sales volumes contributed to a revenue growth by RMB417.6 million. The increase was primarily attributable to the overall economic growth in China, an increase in production capacity from five million pairs of footwear in 2006 to seven million pairs of footwear in 2007, increased demand for Windrace’s products at existing Xidelong retail stores, new openings of Xidelong retails stores, an increase in the varieties of apparel and accessories products and an increase in the average size of the Xidelong retail stores with larger display areas for accessories. The deliveries of footwear increased from 6.1 million pairs in the year ended December 31, 2006 to 10.3 million pairs in the year ended December 31, 2008.

Increase in the number of retail stores:  The number of distributors increased from 19 in the year ended December 31, 2006 to 22 in the year ended December 31, 2007 and the number of Xidelong retail stores increased from 1,483 as of December 31, 2006 to 2,519 as of December 31, 2007, leading to a contribution of revenue growth by RMB117.1 million.
Increase in average selling prices:  As a result of increased consumer recognition of the Xidelong brand resulting from marketing and brand promotion efforts over the years, the average selling prices of all product types increased. In particular, footwear and apparel experienced an increase in average selling prices by 6.3%and 14.2%, respectively, leading to a contribution of revenue growth by RMB74.1 million.

The increase in revenue from the year ended December 31, 2006 to the year ended December 31, 2007 was partially offset by the decrease in revenue from canvas footwear by RMB8.2 million due to Windrace’s efforts to allocate resources to produce other footwear products that are more popular to consumers.

Cost of sales.  Cost of sales increased 87.7% from RMB511.1 million in the year ended December 31, 2006 to RMB959.5 million in the year ended December 31, 2007. The increase in cost of sales was primarily due to increased purchases of finished products by RMB340.3 million from contract manufacturers to meet the increase in sales orders resulting from increased demand for its products. The increase in cost of sales was also attributable to increased purchases of raw materials by RMB53.7 million for Windrace’s own production of footwear products.

The increase in cost of sales in the year ended December 31, 2007 compared to the year ended December 31, 2006 was partially offset by the decrease in fixed costs by RMB10.0 million primarily due to decreased rental expenses in the year ended December 31, 2007 because Windrace did not have to incur such

expenses after relocating to its own production facility in Jinjiang completed in March 2007 whereas Windrace had to incur such expenses for the entire year in the year ended December 31, 2006. The decrease in fixed costs was partially offset by an increase in depreciation by RMB5.6 million due to an increase in production capacities through addition of two more production lines.

Gross profit.  Windrace’s gross profit increased 90.9% from RMB176.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2006 to RMB336.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 primarily as a result of an increase in sales. Windrace’s overall gross profit margin increased from 25.7% in 2006 to 26.0% in 2007 primarily a as a result of the increase in average selling prices of its products due to enhanced brand recognition. The rate of increase in revenues in the year ended December 31, 2007 compared to the year ended December 31, 2006 exceeded the rate of increase in cost of sales during the same periods.

Other income and gains.  Other income and gains increased 350.0% from RMB0.2 million for 2006 to RMB0.9 million for 2007. Other income and gains include subsidy income from the Jinjiang local government for Windrace’s technological innovation and interest income.

Selling and distribution costs.  Selling and distribution costs increased 79.0% from RMB76.6 million for 2006 to RMB137.1 million for 2007. This increase in selling and distribution costs was primarily due to increases in advertising and promotional expenses, retail store renovation subsidies and sales fair expenses. Advertising and promotional expenses increased 92.5% from RMB48.3 million for 2006 to RMB93.0 million for 2007, primarily due to increased marketing activities and advertisement expenses incurred for the new distributors Windrace engaged in 2006. Retail store renovation subsidies increased 52.2% from RMB22.8 million for 2006 to RMB34.7 million for 2007 primarily due to the expansion of the distributors’ distribution network, particularly in the Southwestern Region of the PRC. Sales fair expenses increased 100.0% from RMB0.8 million for 2006 to RMB1.6 million for 2007 primarily due to increased exhibition expenses incurred for Windrace’s sales fairs.

Administrative expenses.  Administrative expenses increased 93.5% from RMB15.5 million for 2006 to RMB30.0 million for 2007 primarily due to increases in purchases of office supplies, depreciation and miscellaneous taxes and duties.

Net cash inflow from financing activities     61,488       94,219       24,452       4,200       65,732  

Windrace has historically financed its liquidity requirements primarily through operating cash flow, short-term bank loans and issuance of preferred shares. All of the preferred shares will b e redeemed upon the consummation of the Acquisition. See “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions — Investment by Elevatech.” Going forward, Windrace believes its liquidity requirements will be satisfied using a combination of the proceeds of the Acquisition and cash flows from operations.

The financial crisis and economic downturns that began in 2008 could adversely affect Windrace’s liquidity position. Its cash from operations could be adversely affected by decreased consumer spending or longer collection periods of trade receivables from its distributors whose liquidity positions may be similarly negatively impacted by the financial and economic crises. For information relating to the management of accounts receivables from the distributors under current market conditions, see — Factors Affecting Windrace’s Results of Operations and Financial Condition — Management of collection of trade receivables.” Additional financing from investors, banks or the capital market may be limited as a result of the tight credit market and volatile capital market under the current market conditions.

Cash inflows from operating activities

For the six months ended June 30, 2009, Windrace’s net cash inflow from operating activities was RMB38.8 million and was primarily attributable to profit before tax of RMB112.5 million, an adjustment for finance costs of RMB17.3 million primarily due to interest arising from the preferred shares issued to Elevatech carrying an internal rate of return of 12%, an increase in trade and bills payables of RMB40.4 million due to the extension of credit periods granted by certain suppliers as well as increased use of bills payables with longer terms to settle purchases from suppliers and a decrease in inventory of RMB20.9 million due to decreased production of Windrace’s products, which was partially offset by an increase in trade receivables of RMB170.7 million due to extension of credit periods for certain distributors.

Most of the suppliers granting an extended credit period to Windrace have entered into supply contracts with Windrace for a term of two years or more. Due to the economic downturn, many suppliers began to grant longer credit terms to their customers (including Windrace) to maintain business relationships. As a result, Windrace began to receive credit periods of up to four months, compared with periods ranging from 30 days to 90 days, in its trade payables. The extension of credit periods in Windrace's trade payables to suppliers was unrelated to the extension of credit periods in Windrace's trade receivable from distributors.

For 2008, Windrace’s net cash inflow from operating activities was RMB44.0 million and was primarily attributable to profit before tax of RMB170.7 million, an adjustment for finance costs of RMB23.5 million primarily due to interest arising from the preferred shares issued to Elevatech carrying an internal rate of return of 12%, the decrease in pledged deposits of RMB16.7 million due to a decrease in use of bills payables, which was partially offset by an increase in trade receivables of RMB143.1 million due to an increase in sales and extension of credit periods for certain distributors and an increase in inventories of RMB35.8 million due to decreased deliveries of Windrace’s products during the fourth quarter of 2008 to prevent potential overflow of inventory among the distributors. Windrace was able to sell such inventory in the first quarter of 2009 due to increased orders and deliveries to distributors.

For 2007, Windrace’s net cash inflow from operating activities was RMB146.3 million and was primarily attributable to profit before tax of RMB156.6 million, an adjustment for depreciation of RMB11.4 million due to the construction of its production facility in March 2007, an increase in trade and bills payables of RMB47.5 million primarily due to increased purchases of raw materials from its suppliers and increased purchases of finished goods from contract manufacturers, an increase in deposits received, other payables and accruals of RMB17.0 million primarily due to increases in construction costs payables for the construction of its production facility and value added tax payables, which was partially offset by an increase in Windrace’s trade receivables of RMB57.7 million primarily due to the commensurate growth of its business, and PRC taxes paid of RMB21.7 million because of the commensurate growth of its business and revenue in its PRC subsidiaries and an increase in pledged deposits of RMB11.3 million primarily due to the increase in use of bills payables.

For 2006, Windrace’s net cash inflow from operating activities was RMB78.2 million and was primarily attributable to a profit before tax of RMB77.8 million, an increase in trade and bills payables of RMB46.2 million primarily due to increased purchases of raw materials from its suppliers and increased purchases of finished goods from contract manufacturers, an increase in deposits received, other payables and accruals of RMB11.5 million primarily due to an increase in accrued salaries and bonuses for its staff and its engagement of additional distributors from whom it requires a deposit until the termination of their distributorship agreements, which was partially offset by an increase in trade receivables of RMB44.0 million due to the commensurate growth of its business, and an increase in inventories of RMB18.3 million primarily because of the increase in its sales.

Cash inflows/(outflows) from investing activities

For the six months ended June 30, 2009, net cash used in investing activities was RMB0.6 million due to purchase of property, plant and equipment of RMB0.9 million to meet Windrace’s expansion needs.

For 2008, Windrace’s net cash outflow from investing activities was RMB16.5 million primarily due to a purchase of property, plant and equipment of RMB17.3 million because Windrace added two production lines in June 2008 and the renovation of Windrace’s research and development center.

Cash inflows from financing activities

For the six months ended June 30, 2009, net cash inflow from financing activities was RMB65.7 million due to new bank loans of RMB90.5 million for working capital requirements, which was partially offset by the repayment of bank loans of RMB27.5 million.

For 2008, Windrace’s net cash inflow from financing activities was RMB24.5 million due primarily to proceeds from offering of preferred shares of RMB85.1 million to Elevatech, additional contribution from RichWise of RMB28.4 million for meeting target profits in 2007 and new bank loans of RMB20.0 million for working capital requirements, which was partially offset by repayment of bank loans of RMB28.0 million and a decrease in an amount due to a director of RMB81.1 million due to the repayment of loans to Mr. Lin Shuipan.

For 2007, Windrace’s net cash inflow from financing activities was RMB94.2 million, consisting primarily of proceeds from the issue of shares of RMB82.3 million due to investment by RichWise and new bank loans of RMB28.0 million for working capital use, which was partially offset by the repayment of bank loans of RMB17.0 million.

payment of US$1.0 million (RMB 6.9 million) on June 30, 2010. Following the issuance of the promissory note, the original terms of the preferred shares will be superseded by the terms of the promissory note, and Windrace’s due payment thereunder will represent a full settlement of its obligations under the preferred shares.

However, if Windrace defaults on its payment obligations under the promissory note, Elevatech will have the option to convert the overdue amount into preference shares with the same terms as the preferred shares. Further, if the Acquisition is consummated on or prior to October 31, 2009, any preferred shares or preference shares issued and outstanding following the consummation of the Acquisition will be immediately redeemable under their original terms at the option of Elevatech. Finally, if the Acquisition is not consummated by October 31, 2009, the letter agreement will have no further effect, and the preferred shares will remain outstanding under their original terms.

Off-Balance Sheet Commitments and Arrangements

Windrace does not have any outstanding off-balance sheet guarantees, interest rate swap transactions or foreign currency forward contracts. Windrace does not engage in trading activities involving non-exchange traded contracts. In its ongoing business, Windrace does not enter into transactions involving, or otherwise form relationships with, unconsolidated entities or financials partnerships that are established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE INFORMATION ABOUT MARKET RISKS

Foreign currency risk

Windrace operates in China and all of its transactions are settled in Renminbi. Its assets and liabilities, and transactions arising from its operations are denominated in Renminbi. Windrace has not used any forward contract or currency borrowing to hedge its exposure as foreign currency risk is considered minimal.

Because all of Windrace’s earnings and cash assets are denominated in Renminbi and the net proceeds from the Acquisition will be denominated in U.S. dollars, fluctuations in the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and the Renminbi will affect the relative purchasing power of these proceeds and Windrace’s balance sheet and earnings per share in U.S. dollars following the Acquisition. Assuming that none of the holders of Public Shares elect to convert their shares into cash, based on the amount in 2020’s trust account as of March 31, 2009, there would be approximately $66.1 million available to the combined company upon consummation of the Acquisition, net of the payment of the underwriters’ deferred compensation. If the trust balance were to be converted entirely into Renminbi, a 10% change in the exchange rate between Renminbi and U.S. dollars could result in foreign exchange loss or gain of approximately $6.6 million, depending on whether such change reflected appreciation or depreciation in the value of the Renminbi relative to the U.S. dollar. In addition, appreciation or depreciation in the value of the Renminbi relative to the U.S. dollar would affect Windrace’s financial results reported in U.S. dollar terms without giving effect to any underlying change in Windrace’s business or results of operations. Fluctuations in the exchange rate will also affect the relative value of any dividend Exceed issues after consummation of the Acquisition that will be exchanged into U.S. dollars and earnings from, and the value of, any U.S. dollar-denominated investments Exceeds makes after consummation of the Acquisition.

Windrace does not believe that it has any significant foreign currency risk. Therefore, Windrace has not entered into any hedging transactions in an effort to reduce its exposure to foreign currency risk.

Credit risk

Windrace trades only with recognized and creditworthy customers. It is Windrace’s policy that all customers who wish to trade on credit terms are subject to credit verification procedures. In addition, receivable balances are monitored on an ongoing basis and Windrace’s exposure to bad debts is not significant.

Since Windrace trades only with recognized and creditworthy third parties, there is no requirement for collateral.

The credit risk of Windrace’s other financial assets, which comprise deposits, other receivables, pledged bank deposits and cash and bank balances, arises from default of the counterparty, with a maximum exposure equal to the carrying amounts of these instruments.

Windrace’s exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer. The default risk of the industry in which customers operate also has an influence on credit risk but to a lesser extent. At the balance sheet date, Windrace has a certain concentration of credit risk as 33.94%, 41.77%, 41.55% and 43.45%, respectively, of its total trade and other receivables were due from Windrace’s five largest customers during the years ended December 31, 2006, 2007 and 2008 and the six months ended June 30, 2009.

The maximum exposure to credit risk without taking account of any collateral held is represented by the carrying amount of each financial asset. Windrace does not provide any guarantees which would expose Windrace to credit risk.

Interest rate risk

Windrace does not have any significant exposure to risk of changes in market interest rates as its debt obligations were all with fixed interest rates. If Windrace borrows money in future periods, it may be exposed to interest rate risk. Windrace does not have any derivative financial instruments and believes its exposure to interest rate risk and other relevant market risks is not material.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Commodity price risk

The major raw materials used in the production of Windrace’s products included natural and synthetic leather, nylon, canvas, rubber and plastics. Windrace is exposed to fluctuation in the prices of these raw materials which are influenced by global as well as regional supply and demand conditions. Fluctuations in the prices of raw materials could adversely affect Windrace’s financial performance. Windrace historically has not entered into any commodity derivative instruments to hedge the potential commodity price changes.

Liquidity risk

Windrace monitors its risk to a shortage of funds by considering the maturity of both its financial assets and projected cash flows from operations. Its objective is to maintain a balance between continuity of funding and flexibility through use of bank borrowings and other borrowings to meet its working capital requirements.

INFORMATION ABOUT 2020

General

We are a public acquisition company, formed on August 21, 2006, to complete a business combination with an operating business that either: (1) is located in China, (2) has its principal operations located in China, or, (3) in the view of the Board of Directors of 2020, would benefit from establishing operations in China. Our efforts to identify a prospective target business will not be limited to a particular industry. We intend to effect a business combination using cash from the proceeds of our initial public offering and the private placements of the sponsors’ warrants, our capital stock, debt or a combination of cash, stock and debt. On November 15, 2007, we completed our initial public offering of 8,625,000 Units (including 1,125,000 Units pursuant to the underwriters’ over-allotment option sold on November 26, 2007) at a price of $8 per unit. We received net proceeds of approximately $68.2 million from our Offering, and deposited approximately $68.1 million into a trust account.

We believe that China represents a favorable environment both for making acquisitions and operating a target business for several reasons, including, among other things, the existence of a prolonged economic expansion within China, with real gross domestic product growth of approximately 11.6%, 11.9% and 9.7% for 2006, 2007 and 2008, respectively (according to the International Monetary Fund’s Report on World Economic Outlook, dated October 2008), attractive valuations for target businesses within China, increased government focus within China on privatizing assets, improving foreign trade and encouraging business and economic activity, and access to a highly trained and educated workforce, as well as favorable labor rates and efficient, low-cost manufacturing capabilities. According to the Economist Intelligence Unit, by the year 2020, China will have achieved purchasing power parity with the U.S., will have Gross Domestic Product at a level equal to that of the U.S. and of the European Union and will match the U.S. as the largest consumer market in the world. According to the 2008 World Fact Book, in 2007, China was the second largest economy in the world on a purchasing power parity basis after the U.S. Given these trends, we believe there are leading Chinese companies well-positioned to transform into global business leaders between now and the year 2020, which may include both currently profitable companies and companies which are currently operating at a loss but which we believe have the potential to become profitable.

80% Test

Our initial business combination must be with a target business whose fair market value is equal to at least 80% of our net assets at the time of the Acquisition (all of our assets, including the funds held in the trust account other than the deferred underwriting discount, less our liabilities). Our board of directors determined that this 80% test was clearly met in connection with its proposed equity acquisition of Windrace.

Stockholder Vote on the Business Combination

2020 will proceed with the Acquisition of Windrace only if (i) a majority of the holders of 2020’s shares of common stock present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the special meeting votes in favor of the Acquisition Proposal and (ii) a majority of all of its outstanding shares is voted in favor of the Redomestication Proposal. The stockholders existing prior to the initial public offering have agreed to vote their common stock on these proposals in accordance with the vote of the majority offering. If the holders of 30% or more of 2020’s common stock vote against the Acquisition Proposal and demand that 2020 convert their shares into their pro rata share of the trust account, then 2020 will not consummate the Acquisition or the Redomestication.

Liquidation if No Business Combination

If 2020 does not complete a business combination by November 8, 2009, 2020 will be dissolved and will distribute to all of its public stockholders, in proportion to their respective equity interests, an aggregate sum equal to the amount in the trust account, inclusive of any interest, plus any remaining net assets. 2020’s existing stockholders have waived their rights to participate in any liquidation distribution with respect to shares of common stock owned by them immediately prior to the initial public offering. There will be no distribution from the trust account with respect to 2020’s warrants.

If 2020 were to expend all of the net proceeds of the initial public offering, other than the proceeds deposited in the trust account, the per-share liquidation price as of October 2, 2009 would be approximately

162


 
 

TABLE OF CONTENTS

$7.90, or $0.10 less than the per-unit offering price of $8.00 in 2020’s initial public offering. The proceeds deposited in the trust account could, however, become subject to the claims of 2020’s creditors and there is no assurance that the actual per-share liquidation price will not be less than $7.90, due to those claims.

The stockholders holding shares of 2020 common stock issued in the initial public offering will be entitled to receive funds from the trust account only in the event of 2020’s liquidation or if the stockholders seek to convert their respective shares into cash and the Acquisition is actually completed. In no other circumstances shall a stockholder have any right or interest of any kind to or in the trust account.

If 2020 is unable to complete a business combination by November 8, 2009, upon notice from 2020, the trustee of the trust account will commence liquidating the investments constituting the trust account and will turn over the proceeds to the transfer agent for distribution to the stockholders holding shares acquired through the initial public offering. Given the time required to consummate a transaction and obtain requisite stockholder approval, 2020 would probably be dissolved if the stockholders do not approve the Purchase Agreement.

2020’s certificate of incorporation provides that if 2020 is unable to complete a business combination by November 8, 2009, 2020’s corporate existence will cease except for the purposes of winding up our affairs and liquidating, pursuant to Section 278 of the Delaware General Corporation Law. This has the same effect as if our board of directors and stockholders had formally voted to approve our dissolution pursuant to Section 275 of the Delaware General Corporation Law. If 2020 were required to dissolve, 2020 would liquidate the trust account to the holders of shares purchased in 2020’s initial public offering (subject to any provision for unpaid claims against 2020 which it is advised must or should be withheld).

Under Delaware corporate law, 2020’s stockholders may be held liable for claims by third parties against a corporation to the extent of distributions received by those stockholders in a dissolution. Delaware corporate law provides for limitations on the potential liability of stockholders if 2020 were to wind up its affairs in compliance with either Section 280 or Section 281(b) of the Delaware corporate law. If 2020 complies with either procedure, Delaware corporate law (i) limits the potential liability of each stockholder for claims against 2020 to the lesser of the stockholder’s pro-rata share of the claim or the amount distributed to the stockholder in liquidation and (ii) limits the aggregate liability of any stockholder for all claims against 2020 to the amount distributed to the stockholder in dissolution. If 2020 were to comply with Section 280 instead of Section 281(b), Delaware corporate law also would operate to extinguish the potential liability of its stockholders for any claims against 2020 unless litigation with respect to such claim has been commenced prior to the expiration of the statutory winding-up period under Delaware law (generally three years). In addition, compliance with Section 280 could potentially operate to bar certain claims if the claimant does not take specified actions within certain time frames specified in the statute.

Even though compliance with Section 280 of Delaware corporate law would provide additional protections to both 2020’s directors and stockholders from potential liability for third party claims against 2020, it is 2020’s current intention that it would make liquidating distributions to its stockholders as soon as reasonably possible following any dissolution and, therefore, it does not expect that its Board of Directors would elect to comply with the more complex procedures in Section 280. Because 2020 would most likely not be complying with Section 280, it would seek stockholder approval to comply with Section 281(b) of Delaware corporate law, requiring it to adopt a plan of dissolution that will provide for payment, based on facts known to 2020 at such time, of (i) all existing claims, (ii) all pending claims and (iii) all claims that may be potentially brought against 2020 within the subsequent 10 years. As such, 2020’s stockholders could potentially be liable for any claims to the extent of distributions received by them in a dissolution and any such liability of 2020’s stockholders would likely extend beyond the third anniversary of such dissolution. However, because 2020 is a blank check company, rather than an operating company, and its operations have been limited to searching for prospective target businesses to acquire, the only likely claims to arise would be from its vendors (such as accountants, lawyers, investment bankers and consultants). 2020 would attempt to enter into arrangements with most, if not all significant creditors whereby they agree to waive any interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the trust account. As a result of this, 2020 believes that the claims that could be made

163


 
 

TABLE OF CONTENTS

against 2020 would be significantly limited. However, 2020 cannot guarantee that its creditors will agree to such arrangements, or even if they do that they would be prevented from bringing claims against the trust account.

2020 expects that all costs associated with the implementation and completion of its plan of dissolution and liquidation, which it currently estimates to be less than $75,000, will be funded by any funds not held in the trust account. There currently are not, and may not at that time, be sufficient funds for such purpose, in which event 2020 would have to seek funding or other accommodation to complete the dissolution and liquidation.

In the event 2020 is required to dissolve, its’ powers will be limited to acts and activities relating to dissolving and winding up its affairs, including liquidation. The funds held in the trust account may not be distributed except upon 2020’s dissolution (subject to third party claims as discussed above) and, unless and until such approval is obtained from its stockholders, the funds held in its trust account will not be released (subject to such claims). Consequently, holders of a majority of 2020’s outstanding stock would have to approve its dissolution in order to receive the funds held in the trust account and the funds will not be available for any other corporate purpose (although they may be subject to creditors’ claims).

Facilities

We maintain our principal executive offices at 221 Boston Post Road East, Suite 410, Marlborough, MA 01752. The cost for this space is included in the $7,500 per-month fee Surfmax Corporation, an investment management company wholly owned by our Chairman, charges us for office space, utilities, and administrative services, including technology and secretarial support, pursuant to a letter agreement between us and Surfmax Corporation. We believe, based on rents and fees for similar services in the Marlborough metropolitan area, that the fee charged by Surfmax Corporation is at least as favorable as we could have obtained from an unaffiliated person. We consider our current office space, combined with the other office space otherwise available to our executive officers, adequate for our current operations.

Employees

We have three executive officers. We do not have employment agreements with any of these individuals and they are not obligated to devote any specific number of hours to our matters and intend to devote only as much time as each deems necessary to our affairs.

Periodic Reporting and Audited Financial Statements

We have registered our securities under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and have reporting obligations, including the requirement to file annual and quarterly reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission. In accordance with the requirements of the Exchange Act, our annual reports contain financial statements audited by our independent registered public accounting firm. To date, we have filed our annual report on Form 10-K for the years ending December 31, 2008 and 2007 and quarterly reports on Form 10-Q covering the first three quarters of 2008 and the first quarter of 2009.

Legal Proceedings

We are not involved in any legal proceeding that have had or may have a significant effect on our business, financial positions, results of operations or liquidity, nor are we aware of any proceedings that are pending or threatened to which any of our directors or officers are a party or which may have a significant effect on our business, financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

2020’S MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the related notes and schedules thereto and other financial information appearing elsewhere in this Proxy Statement and other reports and filings made with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Overview

We were formed on August 21, 2006 to serve as a vehicle to acquire, through a merger, stock exchange, asset acquisition or other similar business combination, an operating business that either (1) is located in China, (2) has its principal operations located in China, or, (3) in our view, would benefit from establishing operations in China. We intend to utilize the cash in the trust account, our capital stock, debt or a combination of cash, capital stock and debt in effecting a business combination. There are no limitations on our ability to incur debt or issue equity securities in order to consummate a business combination. We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues from operations to date. To date, our efforts have been limited to organizational activities, completion of its initial public offering and the evaluation of possible business combinations, including the proposed acquisition of Windrace.

Financing History

On November 15, 2007, we completed our initial public offering of 8,625,000 Units (including 1,125,000 Units pursuant to the underwriters’ over-allotment option sold on November 26, 2007) at a price of $8 per unit. We received net proceeds of approximately $68,240,685 million from our offering, after deducting offering expenses of approximately $5,439,315, which included underwriting discounts of $4,830,000. This amount includes $2,415,000 of the underwriting discounts and commissions due, which the underwriters have agreed will not be payable unless and until we consummate a business combination. Accordingly, $68,090,685 of the net proceeds of the offering was deposited in trust and the remaining $150,000, together with the up to $1,350,000, net of taxes, from the trust account interest earned on the funds, will be used to fund expenses related to investigating and selecting a target business, income and other taxes and our working capital requirements.

On November 8, 2007, in connection with our initial public offering, we sold to the underwriters, for $100, an option to purchase up to a total of 550,000 units as compensation for their services. The units issuable upon exercise of the option are identical to those offered in our initial public offering, except that the warrants are exercisable on a cashless basis at a price of $10.00. Although the option is exercisable until November 7, 2012, if we do not consummate a business combination within the prescribed time period and we automatically dissolve and subsequently liquidate our trust account, the option will become worthless.

On August 1, 2008, December 1, 2008, January 16, 2009 and April 20, 2009, we issued promissory notes of $150,000, $150,000, $200,000 and $200,000, respectively, to 2020 International Capital Group Limited, a Cayman Islands company (“2020 International”). George Lu, our Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President, Louis Koo, our Chief Financial Officer and a director, Yuxiao Zhang, our Executive Director, Vice President and a director, and Jianming Yu, a director, directly or indirectly own 49.99%, 10.0%, 10.0% and 10.0%, respectively of the common shares of 2020 International.

2020 International has beneficial ownership of more than 10% of the company’s outstanding common stock. Prior to the issuance of each of the promissory notes, and upon full disclosure to board of directors of the foregoing relationships, the transaction and the terms of the promissory notes were approved by disinterested and independent directors of the board of directors.

Results of Operations for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2009

For the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, we had a net loss of $785,617 and a net profit of $116,101, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, we earned interest income of $658 and $688,260, respectively. The reason for the reduction was a significant reduction in the interest paid on the Trust Account.

Our entire activity from August 21, 2006 (inception) through November 15, 2007 had been to prepare for our initial public offering. Following our initial public offering, we began actively searching for a suitable business target to complete a business combination.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Results of Operations for the Year Ended December 31, 2008

For the year ended December 31, 2008, we earned interest income of $1,002,545, and incurred general and administration expenses of $927,491, compared to interest income of $92,257 and general and administration expenses of $80,265 for the year ended December 31, 2007. There were also abandoned project costs of $349,262 incurred for the year ended December 31, 2008, and we did not incur any such expenses for the year ended December 31, 2007. The difference between 2007 and 2008 is partly attributable to initial public offering which was completed on November 15, 2007 and partly due to the abandoned project costs. General and administration expenses in 2008 consist primarily of legal and accounting fees, overhead fees, insurance, travel expenses in connection with our search for a target company, and certain other expenses associated with being a public company. Abandoned project costs incurred were related to the due diligence process in identifying potential acquisition targets that became incomplete business combinations in 2008.

Results of Operations for the Year Ended December 31, 2007

For the year ended December 31, 2007, we earned interest income of $92,257, and incurred organization costs of $80,265. We had no significant operations in 2007. Our expenses in 2007 consist primarily of legal and accounting fees, overhead fees, insurance, travel expenses in connection with our search for a target company, and certain other expenses associated with being a public company.

Results of Operations for the Period from Inception (August 21, 2006) to December 31, 2006

Net loss attributable to common stockholders’ for the period from August 21, 2006 (inception) to December 31, 2006 was $3,825, which consisted of organization costs only.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

On November 15, 2007, the public offering of 7,500,000 units of 2020 was consummated. On the same day, the private placement of 2,265,000 warrants to certain affiliates was completed. On November 26, 2007, the underwriters’ exercised their over-allotment option in full to purchase an additional 1,125,000 units. Each unit issued in the public offering consisted of one share of common stock, $.0001 par value per share, and one warrant, each to purchase one share of common stock. The units were sold at an offering price of $8.00 per unit. Each warrant sold in the private placement entitled the holder to purchase one share of the company’s common stock and was sold for $1.00 per warrant. The public and private offerings generated aggregate gross proceeds of $71,265,000.

In connection with the public offering, the underwriters were entitled to a commission of $4,830,000, of which $2,415,000 was paid from the proceeds of the offering and $2,415,000 will not be payable unless and until 2020 completes a business combination. Approximately $606,315 of the gross proceeds were paid for other expenses in connection with the offering, and $150,000 was made available to 2020 as working capital. The remaining $68,090,685 of the aggregate gross proceeds were placed in a trust account and invested in government securities until the earlier of the completion of a business combination or the liquidation of the trust account.

On October 15, 2008, in consideration of the current market conditions, 2020 directed LaSalle Global Trust Services to transfer the funds held in trust from a money market fund that invests in U.S. Government obligations into the Dreyfus Treasury Prime Cash Management Fund, which invests solely in U.S. treasuries.

At June 30, 2009, we had cash outside of the trust account of $307,769, cash held in the trust account of $68,095,245 and total liabilities of $4,151,818. We intend to use substantially all of the net proceeds of our initial public offering, including the funds held in the trust account (excluding deferred underwriting discounts and commissions), to complete a business combination with a target business and to pay our expenses relating thereto. The funds used to pay the representative of the underwriters will not be available to us to use in connection with or following the business combination. To the extent that our capital stock is used in whole or in part as consideration to effect a business combination, as is the case with the Acquisition, the remaining proceeds held in the trust account as well as any other net proceeds not expended will be used as working capital to finance the operations of the target business. Such working capital funds could be used in a variety of ways including continuing or expanding the target business’ operations, for strategic acquisitions and for marketing, research and development of existing or new products. Such funds could also be used to repay any

166


 
 

TABLE OF CONTENTS

operating expenses or finders’ fees which we had incurred prior to the completion of our business combination if the funds available to us outside of the trust account were insufficient to cover such expenses.

We believe that the funds available to us outside of the trust account, including the interest income to be distributed to us, will be sufficient to allow us to operate until November 8, 2009, assuming that a business combination is not consummated during that time. We do not believe we will need to raise additional funds in order to meet the expenditures required for operating our business. However, we may need to raise additional funds through a private offering of debt or equity securities if such funds are required to consummate a business combination that is presented to us. We would only consummate such a fund raising simultaneously with the consummation of a business combination.

Included in our total liabilities are deferred and accrued offering costs consisting principally of legal fees incurred that are directly related to the initial public offering of our securities which was consummated on November 15, 2007 (“Offering”) and that were charged to stockholders’ equity upon the receipt of the capital raised. Total legal fees payable included in accrued offering costs directly related to the Offering as of June 30, 2009 were $413,066 of which $409,908 was payable to Seyfarth Shaw and $3,158 was payable to Deacons.

Accrued expenses consist of mainly legal fees related to various projects under review and corporate matters, audit fee, accounting fee, consultancy fee, traveling expenses and operating expenses such as filing fee and listing fee. As of June 30, 2009, accrued expenses included legal fees of $577,824 payable to Seyfarth Shaw, professional fees and traveling expenses of $25,079 payable to various consultants, tax payable of $8,500, accounting fees of $2,026 payable to Cheng & Cheng Services Limited and sundry expenses of $10,323.

Our executive officers namely Mr. George Lu, Mr. Louis Koo and Mr. Yuxiao Zhang, one of our directors, Jianming Yu (“Dr. Yu”), and certain entities controlled by our executive officers and Dr. Yu have agreed to indemnify us, jointly and severally for any loss, liability, claim, damage and expense to the extent necessary 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 us for services rendered or contracted for or products sold to us. None of our creditors, except for Seyfarth Shaw with respect to the $409,908 in legal fees included in deferred offering expenses, have waived any claims against the trust account.

If we are not able to consummate a business combination by November 8, 2009 and we are required to liquidate, the adjusted accrued expenses and accrued offering cost as of June 30, 2009 was $626,910 after deducting the portion of the legal fees payable to Seyfarth Shaw included in the deferred offering costs, which they have agreed would be payable only in the event of the consummation of a business combination. As at June 30, 2009, our bank balance was $307,769 which can cover approximately half of the adjusted accrued expenses whereas the unsettled balance will be indemnified by our executive directors and Dr. Yu as mentioned above. If we consummate the Acquisition before November 8, 2009, all the accrued expenses and accrued offering costs will be paid by the combined company after closing of the Acquisition.

On November 8, 2007, in connection with our initial public offering, we sold to the underwriters, for $100, an option to purchase up to a total of 550,000 units as compensation for their services. The units issuable upon exercise of the option are identical to those offered in our initial public offering, except that the warrants are exercisable on a cashless basis at a price of $10.00. Although the option is exercisable until November 7, 2012, if we do not consummate a business combination within the prescribed time period and we automatically dissolve and subsequently liquidate our trust account, the option will become worthless.

Warrant agreement

Under the terms of the warrant agreement, no warrants will be exercised unless at the time of exercise a prospectus relating to ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants is current and the ordinary shares have been registered or qualified or deemed to be exempt under the securities laws of the state of residence of the holder of the warrants. We have agreed to meet these conditions and use our best efforts to maintain a current prospectus relating to ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the redeemable warrants until the

167


 
 

TABLE OF CONTENTS

expiration of the warrants. The warrant agreement does not specify the consequences or penalty imposed against us in the event we are unable to file and complete an effective registration statement to deliver registered shares.

Amount of equity subject to possible redemption

We will not proceed with a business combination if public stockholders owning 30% or more of the shares sold in this offering vote against the business combination and exercise their conversion rights. Accordingly, we may effect a business combination if public stockholders owning up to approximately 29.99% of the shares sold in this offering exercise their conversion rights. If this occurred, we would be required to convert to cash up to approximately 29.99% of the 8,625,000 shares sold in our public offering, or 2,586,638 shares of common stock, at an initial per-share conversion price of approximately $7.92 (for a total of approximately $20,486,172) without taking into account interest earned on the trust account. The deferred underwriting discounts and commissions will only be paid to the underwriters upon completion of a business combination and only with respect to those units for which component shares are not converted. Accordingly, payment of a portion of the deferred underwriting discounts and commissions to the converting stockholders will reduce the amount payable to the underwriters if we consummate a business combination ($2,415,000).

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2006, FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements,” which is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and for interim periods within those years. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under U.S. GAAP, and enhances disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 applies when other accounting pronouncements require fair value measurements; it does not require any new fair value measurements. In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) No. FAS 157-2, “Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157,” which defers the effective date of SFAS No. 157 for non-financial assets and liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually), until fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. We adopted FSP No. FAS 157-2 as of January 1, 2008 which defers the application of FAS 157 for the non financial assets and liabilities to January 1, 2009.

In December 2007, FASB issued SFAS No. 141R, Business Combinations. SFAS No. 141R replaces SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations. SFAS No. 141R establishes principles and requirements for determining how an enterprise recognizes and measures the fair value of certain assets and liabilities acquired in a business combination, including non-controlling interests, contingent consideration and certain acquired contingencies. SFAS No. 141R also requires acquisition-related transaction expenses and restructuring costs be expensed as incurred rather than capitalized as a component of the business combination. This Statement shall be applied prospectively to business combinations for which the Acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Management is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this statement; however, it is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position, results of operation or cash flows.

In December 2007, FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements — an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin (“ARB”) No. 51. SFAS No. 160 requires that accounting and reporting for minority interests will be recharacterized as non-controlling interests and classified as a component of equity. SFAS No. 160 also establishes reporting requirements that provide sufficient disclosures that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the non-controlling owners. SFAS No. 160 applies to all entities that prepare consolidated financial statements, except not-for-profit organizations, but will affect only those entities that have an outstanding non-controlling interest in one or more subsidiaries or that deconsolidate a subsidiary. This Statement shall be effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Management is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this statement; however, it is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position, results of operation or cash flows.

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.” SFAS No. 161 requires disclosures of how and why an entity uses derivative instruments; how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for; and how derivative instruments and related

168


 
 

TABLE OF CONTENTS

hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows. SFAS No. 161 is effective for the company beginning January 1, 2009. The company does not expect a material effect from adoption of this standard.

As a result of the recent credit crisis, on October 10, 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 157-3, “Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset in a Market That is Not Active.” This FSP clarifies the application of SFAS No. 157 in a market that is not active. The FSP addresses how management should consider measuring fair value when relevant observable date does not exist. The FSP also provides guidance on how observable market information in a market that is not active should be considered when measuring fair value, as well as how the use of market quotes should be considered when assessing the relevance of observable and unobservable data available to measure fair value. This FSP is effective upon issuance, including prior periods for which financial statements have not been issued. Revisions resulting from a change in the valuation technique or its application shall be accounted for as a change in accounting estimate in accordance with SFAS No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections.” Adoption of this standard had no effect on our results of operations, cash flows or financial position.

In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165, “Subsequent Events,” which establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued.

In June 2009, FASB issued SFAS No. 166, “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140.” SFAS 166 is applied to financial asset transfers on or after the effective date, which is January 1, 2010 for 2020’s financial statements. SFAS 166 limits the circumstances in which a financial asset may be de-recognized when the transferor has not transferred the entire financial asset or has continuing involvement with the transferred asset. The concept of a qualifying special-purpose entity, which had previously facilitated sale accounting for certain asset transfers, is removed by SFAS 166. 2020 expects that adoption of SFAS 166 will not have a material effect on its financial position or results of operations.

In June 2009, FASB issued SFAS No. 167, “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)” which deals with accounting for variable interest entities and is effective for reporting periods beginning after November 15, 2009. The amendments change the process for how an enterprise determines which party consolidates a variable interest entity (VIE) to a primarily qualitative analysis. SFAS 167 defines the party that consolidates the VIE (the primary beneficiary) as the party with (1) the power to direct activities of the VIE that most significantly affect the VIE’s economic performance and (2) the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE. Upon adoption of SFAS 167, reporting enterprises must reconsider their conclusions on whether an entity should be consolidated and should a change result, the effect on net assets will be recorded as a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings. 2020 expects that adoption of SFAS 167 will not have a material effect on its financial position or results of operations.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States 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 income and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. We have identified the following as its critical accounting policies:

Cash held in Trust — Fair Value

2020 adopted SFAS No. 157 on January 1, 2008, delaying, as permitted, application for non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities. SFAS No. 157 establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three levels, and requires that assets and liabilities carried at fair value are classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:

Level 1:  quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for an identical asset or liability that 2020 has the ability to access as of the measurement date.

Level 2:  inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are directly observable for the asset or liability or indirectly observable through corroboration with observable market data.

169


 
 

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Level 3:  unobservable inputs for the asset or liability are only used when there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date.

In accordance with SFAS No. 157, 2020 determines the level in the fair value hierarchy within which each fair value measurement falls in its entirety, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. In determining the appropriate levels, 2020 performs an analysis of the assets and liabilities that are subject to SFAS No. 157 at each reporting period end. Money market funds are the only financial instrument that is measured and recorded at fair value on 2020’s balance sheet on a recurring basis.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Not applicable.

Off-Balance Sheet Commitments and Arrangements

We have not entered into any financial guarantees or other commitments to guarantee the payment obligations of any unconsolidated third parties. In addition, we have not entered into any derivative contracts that are indexed to our shares and classified as shareholders’ equity, or that are not reflected in our financial statements. Furthermore, we do not have any retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to an unconsolidated entity that serves as credit, liquidity or market risk support to such entity. Moreover, we do not have any variable interest in any unconsolidated entity that provides financing, liquidity, market risk or credit support to us or engages in leasing, hedging or research and development services with us.

Contractual Obligations

We have agreed to pay Surfmax Corporation, a company wholly-owned by George Lu, our Chief Executive Officer and President, $7,500 per month for office space and general and administrative services. Other than the $7,500 per month fee payable to Surfmax Corporation for office space and general and administrative services, as of June 30, 2009, we had no contractual obligations or commitments.

Our legal counsel has agreed to cap its legal fees incurred in our initial public offering at $350,000, provided that any excess fees shall be paid by us upon the completion of a Business Combination. The legal fees in excess of the capped amount totaled $409,908.

Total underwriting discounts on the gross proceeds of our initial public offering was $4,830,000. This amount includes $2,415,000 of the underwriting discounts that the underwriters have agreed will not be payable unless and until our company consummates a Business Combination.

On August 1, 2008, December 1, 2008, January 16, 2009 and April 20, 2009, we issued promissory notes of $150,000, $150,000, $200,000 and $200,000, respectively, to 2020 International Capital Group Limited, a Cayman Islands company (“2020 International”). George Lu, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Louis Koo, our Chief Financial Officer and a director, Yuxiao Zhang, our Executive Director, Vice President and a director, and Jianming Yu, a director, directly or indirectly own 49.99%, 10.0%, 10.0% and 10.0%, respectively of the common shares of 2020 International. An additional 10% of the common shares of 2020 International Capital Group Limited is held by a trust organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands for which Mr. Koo serves as trustee. The trust is intended to serve as an equity incentive plan to provide equity compensation for persons who are subsequently employed by 2020 International Capital Group Limited by providing such persons with the opportunity to purchase common shares of 2020 International Capital Group Limited from the trust. 2020 International has beneficial ownership of more than 10% of the company’s outstanding common stock. Prior to the issuance of each of the promissory notes, and upon full disclosure to Board of Directors of the foregoing relationships, the transaction and the terms of the promissory notes were approved by disinterested and independent directors of the Board of Directors.

The promissory notes are non-interest bearing and shall be due and payable on demand or one year from the date of execution, whichever occurs earlier.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

PRO FORMA UNAUDITED CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared assuming that the Acquisition (including the Redomestication) had occurred (i) at the beginning of the pro forma statements of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and for the year ended December 31, 2008 and (ii) at June 30, 2009 for the pro forma balance sheet. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information presents two possible scenarios for the approval of the Acquisition by 2020’s stockholders, as follows:

Assuming No Redemption of Shares:  This presentation assumes that no stockholders exercise their redemption rights; and
Assuming Maximum Redemption of Shares:  This presentation assumes that holders of 2,586,638 shares of 2020’s outstanding ordinary shares (29.99%) exercise their redemption rights.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is provided for illustrative purposes only. The historical financial information in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet has been adjusted to give effect to pro forma events that are directly attributable to the Acquisition and are factually supportable. The historical financial information in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations has been adjusted to give effect to pro forma events that are directly attributable to the Acquisition, are factually supportable, and are expected to have a continuing impact on the combined results.

The historical financial statements of 2020 have been prepared under U.S. GAAP and presented in U.S. dollars. The historical financial statements of Windrace (formerly Xdlong International Company Limited) have been prepared under IFRS and presented in Chinese Renminbi. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements included herein are prepared under U.S. GAAP and presented in U.S. dollars. However, following completion of the Acquisition and the Redomestication, the combined entity intends to prepare its consolidated financial statements under IFRS and present such consolidated financial statements in Chinese Renminbi (with a convenience conversion to U.S. dollars).

You should not rely on the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as being indicative of the historical financial position that would have been achieved had the Acquisition been consummated as of June 30, 2009, or the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2009 or the year ended December 31, 2008, as being indicative of the historical financial results of operations that would have been achieved had the Acquisition been consummated on the first day of such period. See “Risk Factors Relating to the Acquisition” in this proxy statement/prospectus for further information.

We are providing the following information to aid you in your analysis of the financial aspects of the Acquisition. We derived the historical financial information of 2020 from the unaudited financial statements of 2020 for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and from the audited financial statements of 2020 for the year ended December 31, 2008 included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus. We derived the historical financial information of Windrace from the unaudited consolidated financial statements of Windrace for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and from the audited consolidated financial statements of Windrace for the year ended December 31, 2008 included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus. This information should be read together with 2020’s and Windrace’s audited financial statements and related notes, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” for 2020 and Windrace, and other financial information included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospsectus.

In order to ensure that the Acquisition is approved by the shareholders of 2020, 2020, Windrace, Exceed and/or the 2020 Inside Stockholders, including their respective affiliates, may enter into transactions to purchase or facilitate the purchase of the Public Shares or other securities of 2020 from shareholders who have indicated their intention to vote against the Acquisition and seek redemption of their shares for cash. Such transactions may be entered into prior to the meeting of shareholders to approve the Acquisition, but would not be completed until immediately after the Acquisition was consummated. Such transactions could also include loan arrangements, the granting of put options, and the transfer to holders of Public Shares of shares or warrants owned by the 2020 Inside Stockholders for nominal value. The purpose of such arrangements

171


 
 

TABLE OF CONTENTS

would be to increase the likelihood of satisfaction of the requirements that holders of a majority of the Public Shares present and entitled to vote on the Acquisition Proposal and the Redomestication Proposal vote in favor of the proposals and that holders of fewer than 30% of the Public Shares vote against the Acquisition Proposal and the Redomestication Proposal and demand redemption of their Public Shares for cash. Accordingly, to secure approval of the Acquisition Proposal and the Redomestication Proposal, it may be necessary to acquire or repurchase as much as an additional approximately 70% of the Public Shares. Any arrangements that are entered into may involve any or all of payment of significant fees, interest payments, and the issuance of additional Exceed shares to the persons providing the financial or other assistance in the transactions. The impact of any such arrangements on the financial statements of the combined companies will depend on the ultimate structure of the arrangements. However, without regard to the foregoing, Exceed intends to redeem for cash all shares that are properly presented for redemption at closing. Purchases pursuant to such arrangements ultimately paid for with funds in 2020’s trust account would diminish the funds available to Exceed after the Acquisition and Redomestication for debt repayment, working capital and general corporate purposes. No such arrangements or agreements with respect to such transactions have occurred or been entered into as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus. Due to the uncertainty associated with the potential transactions described above, the financial information presented below does not give effect to such matters.

The Acquisition will be accounted for as a reverse recapitalization since, immediately following completion of the transaction, the shareholders of Windrace and investors in Windrace immediately prior to the Acquisition will have effective control of 2020 through (1) their shareholder interest comprising the largest control block of shares in the combined entity, in either scenario, assuming no share redemptions and maximum share redemptions and excluding the Escrowed Shares and the Earn-Out Shares, (2) significant representation on the Board of Directors (initially two out of three members), with the third board member being independent, and (3) being named to all of the senior executive positions. For accounting purposes, Windrace will be deemed to be the accounting acquirer in the transaction and, consequently, the transaction will be treated as a recapitalization of Windrace, i.e., a capital transaction involving the issuance of stock by 2020 for the stock of Windrace. Accordingly, the combined assets, liabilities and results of operations of Windrace will become the historical financial statements of 2020 at the closing of the transaction, and 2020’s assets (primarily cash and cash equivalents), liabilities and results of operations will be consolidated with Windrace beginning on the acquisition date. No step-up in basis or intangible assets or goodwill will be recorded in this transaction. All direct costs of the transaction will be charged to operations in the period that such costs are incurred.

Actual results could differ from the pro forma information presented and depend on several variables, including, pursuant to provisions in the Purchase Agreement, the release to Windrace’s current shareholders in the aggregate amount of from 9,708,030 ordinary shares to 12,400,245 ordinary shares from an escrow account for achieving certain income thresholds (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) in each of the three years ending December 31, 2009 through December 31, 2011, and an additional 2,212,789 ordinary shares issuable to Windrace’s current shareholders as an earn-out if the income threshold for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2011 is fully met. Such Escrowed Shares and Earn-Out Shares will be recorded as an adjustment to the accounting acquiree’s basis in the reverse recapitalization at par value, and will be included in the calculations of earnings per share from that date.

(B) As the Business Combination is being reflected as if it had occurred at the beginning of the period presented, the calculation of weighted average shares outstanding for basic and diluted earnings per share assumes that the shares issuable relating to the Business Combination have been outstanding for the entire period presented. If the maximum numbers of shares are redeemed, this calculation is retroactively adjusted to eliminate such shares for the entire period. For purposes of determining common stock equivalents, the most recent trading price for the Company's common stock of $7.85 on September 11, 2009 was utilized. Basic and diluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding is calculated as follows:

TABLE OF CONTENTS

(B) As the Business Combination is being reflected as if it had occurred at the beginning of the period presented, the calculation of weighted average shares outstanding for basic and diluted earnings per share assumes that the shares issuable relating to the Business Combination have been outstanding for the entire period presented. If the maximum numbers of shares are redeemed, this calculation is retroactively adjusted to eliminate such shares for the entire period. For purposes of determining common stock equivalents, the most recent trading price for the Company's common stock of $7.85 on September 11, 2009 was utilized. Basic and diluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding is calculated as follows:

Independence of Directors

Upon consummation of the Acquisition and the Redomestication, Exceed will comply with the rules of NASDAQ in determining whether a director is independent. Under the relevant standards, an independent director means a person other than an executive officer or employee of the company, and no director qualifies as independent unless the issuer’s board of directors affirmatively determines that the director does not have a relationship that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. NASDAQ requires that a majority of the board of directors of a company be independent. Consistent with these considerations, the board of directors of Exceed will include three directors, two of whom will be independent, upon consummation of the Acquisition and the Redomestication.

Audit Committee

To comply with the rules of NASDAQ, Exceed will establish an audit committee upon consummation of the Acquisition and the Redomestication. As required by the rules of NASDAQ, the audit committee will be comprised of at least two independent directors who are also able to read and understand fundamental financial statements, including a company’s balance sheet, income statement and cash flow statement. Each audit committee member will have an understanding of generally accepted accounting principles and financial statements, the ability to assess the general application of such principles in connection with the company’s financial statements, including estimates, accruals and reserves, experience in analyzing or evaluating financial statements of similar breadth and complexity as the company’s financial statements, an understanding of internal controls and procedures for financial reporting and an understanding of audit committee functions.

Audit Committee Financial Expert

The board of directors will identify a director who will qualify as an “audit committee financial expert” within the meaning of all applicable rules.

Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures

In accordance with Section 10A(i) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, before the company engages its independent accountant to render audit or permitted non-audit services, the engagement will be approved by the audit committee.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Code of Conduct

Upon consummation of the Acquisition and the Redomestication, Exceed will adopt a code of conduct that applies to all its directors, officers and employees. The code of conduct codifies the business and ethical principles that govern all aspects of its business.

Compensation Committee

To comply with the rules of the NASDAQ, Exceed will establish a compensation committee upon consummation of the Acquisition and the Redomestication. The purpose of the compensation committee will be to administer the company’s stock option plans, including authority to make and modify awards under such plans.

Nominating Committee

To comply with the rules of the NASDAQ, Exceed will form a nominating committee upon consummation of the Acquisition and the Redomestication. The nominating committee will be responsible for overseeing the selection of persons to be nominated to serve on Exceed’s board of directors. The nominating committee will consider persons identified by its members, management, stockholders, investment bankers and others.

Compensation of Directors

Compensation of directors of 2020

2020 did not pay any compensation to its directors during 2008 and does not intend to pay compensation to its directors if and until it completes a business combination.

Compensation of directors and executive officers of Windrace

Windrace offers its directors and executive officers competitive remuneration packages to attract and retain management talent. The principal component of Windrace’s compensation for directors and executive is basic salaries. Windrace may also provide a discretionary bonus to the directors and executive officers as an incentive for their contribution to Windrace depending on Windrace’s profitability during the year. During the years ended December 31, 2006, 2007, 2008 and the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2009, the aggregate amount of compensation paid to directors and executive officers amounted to RMB0.5 million, RMB0.6 million, RMB1.5 million, RMB0.6 million and RMB0.8 million, respectively. The increase from the year ended December 31, 2007 to the year ended December 31, 2008 was primarily attributable to the increase in compensation paid to Mr. Lin Shuipan for his services rendered in connection with the proposed initial public offering on the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong as well as the engagement of one non-executive director and three independent non-executive directors to meet the requirements of the proposed initial public offering on the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong. See Note 8 to Windrace’s financial statements included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.

The following table sets forth compensation paid to directors and executive officers for the periods indicated:

         
  Year ended December 31,   Six months ended June 30,
     2006   2007   2008   2008   2009
     (RMB in thousands)
Salary     386       447       1,445       606       754  
Bonus     85       135                    
Pension     12       15       17       8       4  
Total     483       597       1,462       614       758  

The compensation of directors and executive officers of Windrace is determined by reference to the operating results of Windrace as a whole, market environment, salary trends, tasks and responsibilities of the director and executive officer, and compensation packages offered by companies in the same industry in the PRC. The compensation of directors and executive officers are subject to performance reviews on an annual basis.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Windrace’s compensation policies are formulated based on the performance of individual directors and executive officers and are reviewed regularly. The primary goal of the remuneration policy is to enable Windrace to retain and motivate management by offering them compensation commensurate with their performance.

Upon establishment of the compensation committee following the consummation of the Acquisition and the Redomestication, the compensation committee will review and approve proposals relating to director compensation, including awards granted under the stock option plans.

Employment Agreement with Executive Director

Windrace’s directors and executive officers have entered into service contracts with Windrace for a term of three years from execution of the respective contracts until termination by three months’ notice in writing served by either party on the other.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

This section discusses the compensation of Windrace paid in previous fiscal years to certain executive officers who will serve as executive officers of Exceed upon consummation of the Acquisition and the Redomestication. These executive officers include (i) Mr. Lin Shuipan, the chairman of the board and chief executive officer, and Ms. Tai Yau Ting, the chief financial officer, of Windrace during 2008 and of Exceed following the consummation of the Acquisition and the Redomestication, and (ii) Windrace’s three next most highly paid executive officers or employees during 2008 who will also serve as officers of Exceed, or collectively, the named executive officers.

Determination of Compensation

Windrace does not have a compensation committee, and Windrace’s board of directors has made all compensation decisions regarding Windrace’s named executive officers. Compensation decisions with respect to Windrace’s named executive officers have historically focused on attracting and retaining individuals who could help Windrace meet and exceed its financial and operational goals. Windrace’s board of directors considered the growth of the company, individual performance and market trends when setting individual compensation levels.

Compensation of Directors of Exceed

Exceed’s non-employee directors have not received and do not currently receive any cash or non-cash compensation for their service as members of the board of directors. Following the consummation of the Acquisition and the Redomestication, non-employee directors of Exceed will receive compensation for their services as directors.

SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE

After the Acquisition and the Redomestication of Windrace, there will be 21,428,571 ordinary shares of Exceed outstanding, assuming that no Public Shares are converted to cash and excluding shares issuable to the Sellers held in escrow and the Earn-Out Shares. Of that amount, 10,500,000 shares will be registered, of which 8,625,000 shares will be freely tradeable without securities law restriction and 1,875,000 shares will be held in escrow until 6 months following the consummation of the Acquisition of Windrace (or earlier if, following the Acquisition, we engage in a subsequent transaction resulting in our stockholders having the right to exchange their shares for cash or other securities). The number of registered and freely tradeable shares will be reduced by the number of Public Shares converted into cash. Additionally, any of such shares held by “affiliates,” as that term is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act, which generally includes officers, directors or 10% stockholders will also be restricted from public sale as “restricted stock.” In addition, there will be outstanding 8,625,000 warrants issued in 2020’s initial public offering, each exercisable to purchase one ordinary share of Exceed that will be freely tradable after the Redomestication and acquisition, and warrants to purchase 2,265,000 ordinary shares of Exceed being held in escrow. The ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants will be tradable, provided that there is no stipulation to the registration statement. In addition, in connection with the initial public offering, 2020 issued a unit purchase option to the representative of the underwriters which is exercisable for 550,000 units, comprised, after the Redomestication and acquisition, of 550,000 ordinary shares and 550,000 warrants, each warrant to purchase one ordinary share. Such securities underlying the representative’s unit purchase option and underlying securities have registration rights and may be sold pursuant to Rule 144. Therefore, after the Acquisition and the Redomestication of Windrace there will be an aggregate of 11,990,000 ordinary shares of Exceed that may be issued in the future upon exercise of outstanding warrants and options.

In general, under Rule 144 under the Securities Act, a person (or persons whose shares are aggregated) who is not deemed to have been an affiliate of ours at any time during the three months preceding a sale, and who has beneficially owned restricted securities within the meaning of Rule 144 for at least six months (including any period of consecutive ownership of preceding non-affiliated holders) would be entitled to sell those shares, subject only to the availability of current public information about us. A non-affiliated person who has beneficially owned restricted securities within the meaning of Rule 144 for at least one year would be entitled to sell those shares without regard to the provisions of Rule 144.

A person (or persons whose shares are aggregated) who is deemed to be an affiliate of ours and who has beneficially owned restricted securities within the meaning of Rule 144 for at least six months would be entitled to sell within any three-month period a number of shares that does not exceed the greater of one percent of the then outstanding shares of our common stock or the average weekly trading volume of our common stock reported through the NYSE Amex, NASDAQ, or any other exchange on which we may list our shares, during the four calendar weeks preceding such sale. Such sales are also subject to certain manner of sale provisions, notice requirements and the availability of current public information about us.

Although the SEC had originally extended the ban on Rule 144 reliance for companies that had been blank check companies even if they no longer were, the SEC has now concluded that, because the reasons for prohibiting reliance on Rule 144 do not appear to be present after a reporting company has ceased to be a shell company, reliance on Rule 144 for resales by a security holder would be permitted when: (1) the issuer of the securities that was formerly a reporting or non-reporting shell company has ceased to be a shell company; (2) the issuer of the securities is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act; (3) the issuer of the securities has filed all reports and material required to be filed during the preceding 12 months (or for such shorter period that the registrant was required to file such reports and materials); and (4) at least 90 days have elapsed from the time the issuer files current “Form 10 information” (information ordinarily filed on a current report on Form 8-K) with the Commission reflecting its status as an entity that is not a shell company. Accordingly, Rule 144 will not be available for the resale of ordinary shares of Exceed issued in connection with the Acquisition and the Redomestication of Windrace until 90 days elapse from the time we file an 8-K reflecting the Acquisition of Windrace and containing the required “Form 10 information.”

Before the Acquisition and the Redomestication, there was no market for the securities of Exceed, and no prediction can be made about the effect that market sales of the ordinary shares of Exceed will have on the market price of the ordinary shares. It is anticipated that the market should be similar to that of 2020 because

199


 
 

TABLE OF CONTENTS

the Redomestication will largely be substituting one security for another on as equal terms as is possible. Nevertheless, sales of substantial amounts of our ordinary shares in the public market could adversely affect the market price for our securities and could impair our future ability to raise capital through the sale of ordinary shares or securities linked to the ordinary shares.

It is the view of the SEC that both before and after a business combination with an operating entity, the promoters or affiliates of a blank check company, as well as their transferees are ‘underwriters’ of the securities issued, and Rule 144 is not available for resale transactions by such promoters or affiliates. Pursuant to Rule 144(i)(2), as amended in Release No: 33-8869 issued December 6, 2007, affiliates of former blank check companies cannot use Rule 144 to sell any unregistered securities until the passage of 12 months from the day the issuer first filed ‘Form 10 information’ (as defined in Rule 144(i)(3)) with the SEC.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

DESCRIPTION OF THE COMBINED COMPANY’S SECURITIES
FOLLOWING THE ACQUISITION

The following description of the material terms of the capital stock and warrants of Exceed following the Acquisition and the Redomestication includes a summary of specified provisions of the Memorandum of Association and Articles of Association of Exceed that will be in effect upon completion of the Acquisition and the Redomestication. This description is subject to the relevant provisions of the Corporation Law of BVI and is qualified by reference to Exceed’s Memorandum of Association and Articles of Association, copies of which are attached to this proxy statement/prospectus and are incorporated in this proxy statement/prospectus by reference.

General

Exceed has no authorized share capital, but it will be authorized to issue 60,000,000 shares divided into two classes of shares, of which 55,000,000 will be ordinary shares of $0.0001 par value and 5,000,000 will be preference shares of $0.0001 par value. The nominal value of the authorized number of shares of Exceed will be stated in United States dollars.

Ordinary Shares

The holders of the combined company’s ordinary shares are entitled to one vote for each share on all matters submitted to a vote of shareholders and do not have cumulative voting rights. Subject to the preferences and rights, if any, applicable to the preference shares, the holders of the ordinary shares are entitled to receive dividends if and when declared by the board of directors. Subject to the prior rights of the holders, if any, of the preference shares, the holders of the ordinary shares are entitled to share ratably in any distribution of the assets of the combined company upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up, after satisfaction of all debts and other liabilities.

Preference shares

Preference shares may be issued from time to time in one or more series and the board of directors of Exceed, without approval of the shareholders, is authorized to designate series of preference shares and to fix the rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions to be attached to the series of preference shares by way of amendment to the memorandum of association. The issuance of preference shares, while providing flexibility in connection with possible acquisitions and other corporate purposes, could, among other things, adversely affect the voting power of holders of the combined company’s ordinary shares.

As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, there are no issued and outstanding preference shares of any class or series.

Anti-Takeover Effect of Unissued Ordinary Shares of Capital Stock

Ordinary shares.  After the Acquisition and the Redomestication, Exceed will have issued and outstanding approximately 21,428,571 ordinary shares, assuming that none of the public shareholders elects to exercise the conversion rights including the 3,627,968 Exceed ordinary shares to be issued to Windtech and Wisetech and excluding an additional 9,708,030 ordinary shares held in escrow for release to the Sellers if Exceed meets certain revenue targets in 2009, 2010 and 2011 the Earn-Out Shares and the Additional New Investor Shares. The remaining authorized and unissued ordinary shares will be available for future issuance without additional shareholder approval. While the additional shares are not designed to deter or prevent a change of control, under some circumstances the combined company could use the additional shares to create voting impediments or to frustrate persons seeking to effect a takeover or otherwise gain control by, for example, issuing those shares in private placements to purchasers who might side with the combined company’s board of directors in opposing a hostile takeover bid.

Preference Shares.  The memorandum and articles of association will grant the board of directors the authority, without any further vote or action by the combined company’s shareholders, to issue preference shares in one or more series and to fix the number of shares constituting any such series and the preferences, limitations and relative rights, including dividend rights, dividend rate, voting rights, terms of redemption, redemption price or prices, conversion rights and liquidation preferences of the preference shares. The existence of authorized but unissued preference shares could reduce the combined company’s attractiveness as a

201


 
 

TABLE OF CONTENTS

target for an unsolicited takeover bid since the combined company could, for example, issue preference shares to parties who might oppose such a takeover bid or shares that contain terms the potential acquirer may find unattractive. This may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control, may discourage bids for the common stock at a premium over the market price of the ordinary shares, and may adversely affect the market price of, and the voting and other rights of the holders of, ordinary shares.

Warrants

As of October 2, 2009, there were warrants outstanding to purchase 10,890,000 shares of the common stock of 2020, which will convert into warrants to purchase the same number of ordinary shares of Exceed. Each warrant entitles the registered holder to purchase one share of our common stock at a price of $5.25 per share, subject to adjustment as discussed below, at any time commencing on the later of:

The warrants will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time on November 8, 2011. 2020 may call the warrants for redemption when the common stock price equals or exceeds $11.50 per share, for any 20 trading days within a 30 trading day period ending on the third trading day prior to the notice of redemption to warrant holders.

The warrants have been issued in registered form under a warrant agreement between Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as warrant agent, and 2020.

The exercise price and number of shares of common stock issuable on exercise of the warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances, including in the event of a stock dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, acquisition or consolidation of the company. However, the warrants will not be adjusted for issuances of common stock at a price below their respective exercise prices.

The warrants may be exercised upon surrender of the warrant certificate on or prior to the expiration date at the offices of the warrant agent, with the exercise form on the reverse side of the warrant certificate completed and executed as indicated, accompanied by full payment of the exercise price, by certified check payable to us, for the number of warrants being exercised. The warrant holders do not have the rights or privileges of holders of common stock and any voting rights until they exercise their warrants and receive common stock. After the issuance of shares of common stock upon exercise of the warrants, each holder will be entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters to be voted on by stockholders.

The warrants may be deprived of any value and the market for the warrants may be limited if the prospectus relating to the common stock issuable upon the exercise of the warrants is not current or if the common stock is not qualified or exempt from qualification in the jurisdictions in which the holders of the warrants reside. No fractional shares will be issued upon exercise of the warrants. However, if a warrant holder exercises all warrants then owned of record by him, 2020 will pay to the warrant holder, in lieu of the issuance of any fractional share which is otherwise issuable to the warrant holder, an amount for such fractional share in cash based on the market value of the common stock on the last trading day prior to the exercise date.

Purchase Option

2020 has issued to the representative of the underwriters of its initial public offering an option to purchase up to a total of 550,000 units at a per-unit price of $10.00, commencing one year from the date of the prospectus and expiring five years from the date of the prospectus. The units issuable upon exercise of this option are the same as the publicly traded units, consisting of one share of common stock and one warrant. The option contains demand and piggy-back registration rights for period of five and seven years, respectively, and the combined company will bear the expenses of the registration of the securities for the holders of the option. The exercise price and number of units are subject to adjustment in certain circumstances, including a stock dividend, recapitalization reorganization, merger or consolidation.

Registration Rights Agreement

2020 has entered into a registration rights agreement providing for the registration of the shares of common stock issued prior to the initial public offering. The Purchase Agreement and NH Investor Agreement also provide for the registration of the Exceed ordinary shares issued to the Sellers and Windtech and Wisetech. The warrants, to be exercisable, must also continue to have the common stock underlying the warrants registered on an effective registration statement.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors
2020 ChinaCap Acquirco, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of 2020 ChinaCap Acquirco, Inc. (a development stage company) as of December 31, 2008, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the periods from January 1, 2008 to December 31, 2008, and August 21, 2006 (date of inception) to December 31, 2008 (cumulative). 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 includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes 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 2020 ChinaCap Acquirco, Inc. as of December 31, 2008, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the periods from January 1, 2008 to December 31, 2008, and August 21, 2006 (date of inception) to December 31, 2008 (cumulative), in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company may face a mandatory liquidation by November 8, 2009, if a business combination is not consummated, which raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors
2020 ChinaCap Acquirco, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of 2020 ChinaCap Acquirco, Inc. (a development stage company) as of December 31, 2007, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the period from January 1, 2007 to December 31, 2007. 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 includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes 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 2020 ChinaCap Acquirco, Inc. as of December 31, 2007, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the period from January 1, 2007 to December 31, 2007, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Organization, Business Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

2020 ChinaCap Acquirco, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in Delaware on August 21, 2006 as a public acquisition company whose objective is to acquire an operating business that either: (1) is located in the People’s Republic of China, the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region or the Macau Special Administrative Region (collectively, “China”), (2) has its principal operations located in China, or, (3) in the view of the Board of Directors of the Company, would benefit from establishing operations in China. Upon formation, the authorized share capital was 3,000 shares of common stock with par value of $0.01 per share. According to the preorganization subscription agreement dated August 18, 2006 with the director and stockholder, the Company issued 100 shares of common stock with par of $0.01 per share to the stockholder at $1.00 each. On January 31, 2007, the stockholder and the director effected several changes to the Company’s corporate structure by consent in lieu of a special meeting, and amended its Certificate of Incorporation as follows:

Increased the number of the authorized shares of the Company’s common stock from 3,000 to 25,000,000, with par value of $0.0001 per share;
Authorized 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, with par value of $0.0001 per share; and
Provided that, absent a duly authorized amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation upon the consummation of a Business Combination, the Company will continue in existence only to November 8, 2009.

In addition to effecting the proceeding amendments to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, the Company also issued an additional 1,874,900 shares of common stock with par value of $0.0001 per share for $24,900 by unanimous written consent in lieu of a special meeting of the Board of Directors dated as of January 31, 2007.

At December 31, 2008, the Company had not yet commenced any operations. All activities through December 31, 2008 were related to the Company’s formation, the public offering described below in Note 2 (the “Offering”), the search for a Business Combination opportunity and the general administration of the Company. The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year-end.

The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Offering. Although substantially all of the net proceeds of the Offering are intended to be generally applied toward consummating a business combination with an operating business that has its principal operations located in China (“Business Combination”), there is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully effect a Business Combination. Upon closing of the Offering, $7.92 per Unit of the proceeds from the Offering, net of all applicable discounts and commissions but inclusive of $0.28 per Unit in deferred underwriting compensation and the proceeds from the sale of the Insider Warrants (as defined below) were deposited and held in a trust account for the benefit of the Company. The corpus of the Trust Account will be invested in United States “government securities” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act having a maturity of 180 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act until the earlier of (i) the consummation of its first Business Combination or (ii) liquidation of the Company. The placing of 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, prospective target businesses or other entities it engages, execute agreements with the Company waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the Trust Account, there is no guarantee that they will execute such agreements.

The Company’s executive officers and Dr. Jianming Yu, one of the Company’s directors, and certain entities controlled by these executive officers and Dr. Jianming Yu have agreed that they will be personally 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 or contracted or for products sold to the Company. However, there can be no assurance that they will

be able to satisfy those obligations. 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. Additionally, up to an aggregate of $1,350,000 of interest earned on the Trust Account balance, net of taxes, may be released to the Company to fund working capital requirements, of which $650,902 has been released to the Company as of December 31, 2008. The Company, after signing a definitive agreement for the acquisition of a target business, is required to submit such transaction for stockholder approval. In the event that stockholders owning 30% or more of the shares sold in the Offering vote against the Business Combination and exercise their conversion rights described below, the Business Combination will not be consummated. All of the Company’s stockholders prior to the Offering, including all of the officers and directors of the Company (“Initial Stockholders”), have agreed to vote their 1,875,000 founding shares of common stock in accordance with the vote of the majority in interest of all other stockholders of the Company (“Public Stockholders”) with respect to any Business Combination. After consummation of a Business Combination, these voting safeguards will no longer be applicable.

With respect to a Business Combination that is approved and consummated, any Public Stockholder who voted against the Business Combination may demand that the Company convert his or her shares. The per share conversion price will equal the amount in the Trust Account, calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the proposed Business Combination, divided by the number of shares of common stock held by Public Stockholders at the consummation of the Offering. Accordingly, Public Stockholders holding up to 29.99% of the aggregate number of shares owned by all Public Stockholders may seek conversion of their shares in the event of a Business Combination. Such Public Stockholders are entitled to receive their per share interest in the Trust Account computed without regard to the shares held by Initial Stockholders.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that if the Company is not able to complete a business combination by November 8, 2009, its corporate existence will cease, except for the process of winding up and liquidating. The Company cannot assure its investors that it will be able to find a suitable business combination by November 8, 2009. This condition raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

In the event of liquidation, it is likely that the per share value of the residual assets remaining available for distribution (including Trust Account assets) will be less than the initial public offering price per share in the Offering (assuming no value is attributed to the Warrants contained in the Units offered in the Offering discussed in Note 2).

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Development stage company:

The Company complies with the reporting requirements of Statements of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 7, “Accounting and Reporting by Development Stage Enterprises.”

Net (loss) profit per common share:

The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 128, “Earnings Per Share.” Net (loss) profit per common share is computed by dividing net (loss) profit by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Except where the result would be antidilutive, net (loss) profit per share of common stock, assuming dilution, reflects the maximum potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock and would then share in the net (loss) profit of the Company.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Organization, Business Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies  – (continued)

Concentration of credit risk:

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash accounts in a financial institution, which at times exceed the Federal depository insurance coverage of $250,000 through December 31, 2009. 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 SFAS No. 107, “Disclosure About Fair Value of Financial Instruments,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the balance sheet.

Use of estimates:

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 complies with SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” which requires an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed for differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in future taxable or deductible amounts, based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

Effective January 1, 2007, the Company adopted the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN 48”). There were no unrecognized tax benefits as of January 1, 2007 and as of December 31, 2007 or December 31, 2008. FIN 48 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, 2007 or December 31, 2008. Management is currently unaware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviations from its position. The adoption of the provisions of FIN 48 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows. The Company currently files income tax returns in the United States, and is subject to tax examinations by tax authorities for tax years since inception in 2006.

Recently issued accounting standards:

In September 2006, FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements,” which is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and for interim periods within those years. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under U.S. GAAP, and enhances disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 applies when other accounting pronouncements require fair value measurements; it does not require any new fair value measurements. In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) No. FAS 157-2, “Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157,” which defers the effective date of SFAS No. 157 for non-financial assets and liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually), until fiscal

years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. We adopted FSP No. FAS 157-2 as of January 1, 2009 which defers the application of FAS 157 for the non financial assets and liabilities to January 1, 2009.

In December 2007, FASB issued SFAS No. 141R, Business Combinations. SFAS No. 141R replaces SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations. SFAS No. 141R establishes principles and requirements for determining how an enterprise recognizes and measures the fair value of certain assets and liabilities acquired in a business combination, including non-controlling interests, contingent consideration and certain acquired contingencies. SFAS No. 141R also requires acquisition-related transaction expenses and restructuring costs be expensed as incurred rather than capitalized as a component of the business combination. This Statement shall be applied prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Management is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this statement; however, it is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position, results of operation or cash flows.

In December 2007, FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements — an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin (“ARB”) No. 51. SFAS No. 160 requires that accounting and reporting for minority interests will be recharacterized as non-controlling interests and classified as a component of equity. SFAS No. 160 also establishes reporting requirements that provide sufficient disclosures that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the non-controlling owners. SFAS No. 160 applies to all entities that prepare consolidated financial statements, except not-for-profit organizations, but will affect only those entities that have an outstanding non-controlling interest in one or more subsidiaries or that deconsolidate a subsidiary. This Statement shall be effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Management is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this statement; however, it is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position, results of operation or cash flows.

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.” SFAS No. 161 requires disclosures of how and why an entity uses derivative instruments; how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for; and how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows. SFAS No. 161 is effective for the company beginning January 1, 2009. The company does not expect a material effect from adoption of this standard.

As a result of the recent credit crisis, on October 10, 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 157-3, “Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset in a Market That is Not Active.” This FSP clarifies the application of SFAS No. 157 in a market that is not active. The FSP addresses how management should consider measuring fair value when relevant observable date does not exist. The FSP also provides guidance on how observable market information in a market that is not active should be considered when measuring fair value, as well as how the use of market quotes should be considered when assessing the relevance of observable and unobservable data available to measure fair value. This FSP is effective upon issuance, including prior periods for which financial statements have not been issued. Revisions resulting from a change in the valuation technique or its application shall be accounted for as a change in accounting estimate in accordance with SFAS No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections.” Adoption of this standard had no effect on our results of operations, cash flows or financial position.

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.

2. Public Offering

On November 15, 2007, the Company consummated the sale of 7,500,000 units (“Units”) at a price of $8.00 per Unit in the Offering. Each Unit consists of one share of the Company’s common stock, $0.0001 par value, and one redeemable common stock purchase warrant (“Warrants”). Each Warrant entitles the holder to purchase from the Company one share of common stock at an exercise price of $5.25 commencing on the later of (i) November 8, 2008 or (ii) the completion of a Business Combination with a target business, and expires on November 8, 2011. The Warrants are redeemable at a price of $0.01 per Warrant upon 30 days prior notice after the Warrants become exercisable, only in the event that the last sale price of the common stock is at least $11.50 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30 trading day period ending on the third business day prior to the date on which notice of redemption is given. In accordance with the warrant agreement relating to the Warrants sold and issued in the Offering, the Company is only required to use its best efforts to maintain the effectiveness of the registration statement covering the Warrants. The Company will not be obligated to deliver securities, and there are no contractual penalties for failure to deliver securities, if a registration statement is not effective at the time of exercise. Additionally, in the event that a registration is not effective at the time of exercise, the holder of such Warrants shall not be entitled to exercise such Warrants and in no event (whether in the case of a registration statement not being effective or otherwise) will the Company be required to net cash settle the warrant exercise. Consequently, the Warrants may expire unexercised and unredeemed.

On November 26, 2007, the underwriters of the Offering exercised their over-allotment option to the extent of 1,125,000 Units. The 8,625,000 Units sold in the Offering, including the 1,125,000 Units subject to the over-allotment option, were sold at an offering price of $8.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $69,000,000. $68,090,685, including $2,265,000 of proceeds from the previously-announced private placement of the warrants issued to entities affiliated with the management team, has been placed in the Trust Account.

The Company paid the underwriters in the Offering an underwriting discount of 3.5% of the gross proceeds of the Offering. The underwriters have agreed that an additional 3.5% of the underwriting discount will not be payable unless and until the Company completes a Business Combination and have waived their right to receive such payment upon the Company’s liquidation if it is unable to complete a Business Combination. The Company has also issued a unit purchase option for $100 to Morgan Joseph to purchase 550,000 Units at an exercise price of $10.00 per Unit. The Units issuable upon exercise of this option are identical to the Units offered in the Offering. The Company accounted for the fair value of the unit purchase option, inclusive of the receipt of the $100 cash payment, as an expense of the Offering resulting in a charge directly to stockholders’ equity. The Company estimates that the fair value of this unit purchase option is approximately $1,657,226 ($3.01 per Unit) using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The fair value of the unit purchase option granted to the underwriters is estimated as of the date of grant using the following assumptions: (1) expected volatility of 45.46%, (2) risk-free interest rate of 3.67%, and (3) expected life of 5 years. The unit purchase option may be exercised for cash or on a cashless” basis, at the holder’s option, such that the holder may use the appreciated value of the unit purchase option (the difference between the exercise prices of the unit purchase option and the underlying Warrants and the market price of the Units and underlying securities) to exercise the unit purchase option without the payment of any cash. The Company will have no obligation to net cash settle the exercise of the unit purchase option or the Warrants underlying the unit purchase option. If the holder is unable to exercise the unit purchase option or underlying Warrants, the unit purchase option or Warrants, as applicable, will expire worthless.

3. Cash held in Trust — Fair Value

The Company adopted SFAS No. 157 on January 1, 2008, delaying, as permitted, application for non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities. SFAS No. 157 establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 establishes a fair value hierarchy that

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

3. Cash held in Trust — Fair Value – (continued)

prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three levels, and requires that assets and liabilities carried at fair value are classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:

Level 1:  quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for an identical asset or liability that the Company has the ability to access as of the measurement date.

Level 2:  inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are directly observable for the asset or liability or indirectly observable through corroboration with observable market data.

Level 3:  unobservable inputs for the asset or liability are only used when there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date.

In accordance with SFAS No. 157, the Company determines the level in the fair value hierarchy within which each fair value measurement falls in its entirety, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. In determining the appropriate levels, the Company performs an analysis of the assets and liabilities that are subject to SFAS No. 157 at each reporting period end.

Money market funds are the only financial instrument that is measured and recorded at fair value on the Company’s balance sheet on a recurring basis. The following table presents money market funds at their level within the fair value hierarchy at December 31, 2008.

       
  Total   Level 1   Level 2   Level 3
Money Market Funds – Represented as cash and cash equivalents   $ 45,878     $ 45,878     $     $  
Money Market Funds – Held in Trust   $ 68,533,339     $ 68,533,339     $     $  

4. Deferred and Accrued Offering Costs

Deferred and accrued offering costs consist principally of legal fees, underwriting fees and other costs incurred through the balance sheet date that are directly related to the Offering described in Note 2 and that were charged to stockholders’ equity upon the receipt of the capital raised.

The Company’s legal counsel agreed to cap legal fees due by the Company at the closing of the Offering to $350,000, provided that any excess fees shall be paid by the Company upon the completion of a Business Combination. Total legal fees payable included in accrued offering costs directly related to the Offering were $409,908 as of December 31, 2008 and 2007.

Upon completion of the Offering of 8,625,000 Units (including 1,125,000 Units pursuant to the underwriters’ over-allotment option sold on November 26, 2007) at a price of $8 per unit, the Company received net proceeds of approximately $68,240,685 from the Offering, after deducting offering expenses of approximately $5,439,315 which included underwriting discounts of $4,830,000. This amount includes $2,415,000 of the underwriting discounts and commissions due (deferred underwriters’ fees) which the underwriters have agreed will not be payable unless and until the Company consummates a Business Combination.

5. Notes Payable to Stockholders

In December 2006, the Company issued a $50,000 unsecured promissory note to one of its Initial Stockholders, who is also an officer and director of the Company. Under the terms of the note, as amended, the Company may reduce the amount of the note payable by offsetting any funds advanced by the Company to third parties at the direction of the lender. The amount of the note payable was reduced in this manner to $47,291 as of December 31, 2007. The note payable was non-interest bearing and was initially payable on the earlier of December 17, 2007 or the consummation of the Offering. On November 15, 2007, the holders of the

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

5. Notes Payable to Stockholders  – (continued)

$50,000 unsecured promissory note and the Company agreed to extend the repayment date of the unsecured promissory note to March 31, 2008. Due to the short-term nature of the note, the fair value of the note approximates its carrying amount.

In April 2007, the Company issued an $80,000 unsecured promissory note to 2020 International Capital Group Limited, the beneficial owner of a majority of the outstanding shares of stock of the Company at the time such promissory note was issued. The note payable was non-interest bearing and was payable on the earlier of April 5, 2008 or the consummation of the Offering. On November 15, 2007, the holders of the $80,000 unsecured promissory note and the Company agreed to change the repayment date of the unsecured promissory note to March 31, 2008.

Both notes were repaid in full by the Company on March 31, 2008.

In August and December 2008, the Company issued two unsecured promissory notes of $150,000 each to 2020 International Capital Group Limited, a company controlled by the directors and executive officers of the company. The notes payable are non-interest bearing and are due in August and December 2009 or at which time 2020 International Capital Group Limited demands full or partial payment of any balance outstanding. The proceeds from the notes have been used by the Company for working capital purposes.

6. Related Party Transactions

Payable to stockholders

Several stockholders of the Company have advanced funds to settle certain deferred offering costs and organization costs on behalf of the Company. The advances are non-interest bearing and are payable on demand. The amount payable to stockholders of $20,244 as of December 31, 2007 was repaid in full by the Company before December 31, 2008.

Lease from related party

The Company presently occupies office space provided by a company owned by the Company’s Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer and President. Such entity has agreed that, until the Company consummates a Business Combination, it will make such office space, as well as utilities, administrative, technology and secretarial services, available to the Company, as may be required by the Company from time to time. The Company has agreed to pay such entity $7,500 per month for such services commencing on November 8, 2007. The Company has incurred $90,000 and $15,000 for the year ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, and $105,000 from August 21, 2006 (date of inception) to December 31, 2008.

Other transactions

On November 15, 2007, Win Wide International, Ltd, a British Virgin Islands international business company (“Win Wide”), an entity in which George Lu, the Company’s Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President, his spouse, Yanmei May Yang, and Jianming Yu, one of the Company’s directors, collectively own approximately 67% of the outstanding securities, and Surfmax Co-Investments II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company in which Mr. Lu currently owns all of the outstanding securities, purchased privately from the Company a total of 2,265,000 warrants at $1.00 per warrant (for an aggregate purchase price of $2,265,000, the “Insider Warrants”). This purchase took place simultaneously with the consummation of the Offering. All of the proceeds received from this purchase were placed in the Trust Account. The Insider Warrants purchased are identical to the Warrants underlying the Units offered in the Offering except that the Insider Warrants may be exercisable, at the holder’s option, on a “cashless basis” so long as such securities are held by such Initial Holders or their affiliates. Additionally, such purchasers have agreed that the Insider Warrants will not be sold or transferred by them until after the Company has completed a Business Combination. If these warrants are exercised on a cashless basis, the holder of the insider warrants would pay the

exercise price by surrendering his warrants for that number of shares of common stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of shares of common stock underlying the warrants, multiplied by the difference between the exercise price of the warrants and the “fair market value” (defined below) by (y) the fair market value. The “fair market value” shall mean the average reported last sale price of the common stock for the 10 trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the notice of redemption is sent to holders of warrants.

The Company has determined that the purchase price of $1.00 per Insider Warrant is above the average trading price for warrants of similarly structured blank check companies. Accordingly, the Company believes that the purchase price of the Insider Warrants is greater than the fair value of the warrants included in the units and, therefore, the Company did not record compensation expense on the Insider Warrants.

The Initial Stockholders are entitled to registration rights with respect to their founding shares pursuant to an agreement signed on November 8, 2007. The holders of the majority of these shares are entitled to make up to two demands that the Company register these shares at any time after these shares are released from escrow six months following the consummation of Business Combination. In addition, the Initial Stockholders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights on registration statements filed subsequent to November 8, 2010.

7. Preferred Stock

The Company is authorized to issue 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock with such designations, voting and other rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by the Board of Directors. As of December 31, 2008, no preferred stock is issued or outstanding. The agreement with the underwriters prohibits the Company, prior to a Business Combination, from issuing preferred stock that participates in the proceeds of the Trust Account or that votes as a class with the Common Stock on a Business Combination.

8. Income Tax  – (continued)

As of December 31, 2008, unused net operating losses equal to approximately $270,000 are available to offset federal taxable income for future years through 2028. SFAS 109 requires that the tax benefit of such net operating losses be recorded using current tax rates as an asset to the extent management assesses the utilization of such net operating losses to be more likely than not. Based on the Company’s short term SPAC status, the company provided a full valuation allowance against the deferred tax asset at December 31, 2008.

9. Amount of Equity Subject to Possible Redemption

The Company is required to obtain shareholder approval for any business combination of a target business. In the event that public stockholders owning 30% or more of the shares sold in the Offering vote against a Business Combination, the Company will not proceed with a Business Combination if the public stockholders exercise their redemption rights. That is, the Company can still effect a Business Combination if the public stockholders owning up to approximately 29.99% of the shares sold in the Offering exercise their redemption rights.

This redemption obligation with respect to up to 29.99% of the shares sold in the Offering will exist regardless of how a Business Combination is structured. That is, the Company would be required to redeem up to an amount equal to the product of approximately 29.99% of the 8,625,000 ordinary shares sold in the Offering (or 2,586,638 ordinary shares) multiplied by an initial cash per-share redemption price of $7.92 per share, which amount represents $7.64 per share from the proceeds of the offering and $0.28 per unit of the deferred underwriters’ fees.. The actual per-share redemption price will be equal to the quotient of the amount in the Trust Account plus all accrued interest not previously released to the Company, as of two business days prior to the proposed consummation of the Business Combination, divided by 8,625,000 shares of common stock. However, the ability of stockholders to receive $7.92 per unit is subject to any valid claims by the Company’s creditors which are not covered by amounts held in the Trust Account or the indemnities provided by the Company’s officers and directors. The expected redemption price per share is greater than each stockholder’s initial pro rata share of the Trust Account of approximately $7.64 per share. Of the excess redemption price, approximately $0.28 per share represents a portion of the underwriters’ contingent fee, which they have agreed to forego for each share that is redeemed. Accordingly, the total deferred underwriting compensation payable to the underwriters in the event of a business combination will be reduced by approximately $0.28 for each share that is redeemed. The balance will be paid from proceeds held in the Trust Account, which are payable to the Company upon consummation of a business combination. Even if less than 30% of the stockholders exercise their redemption rights, the Company may be unable to consummate a business combination if such redemption leaves the Company with funds insufficient to acquire or merge with a business with a fair market value greater than 80% of the Company’s net assets at the time of such acquisition, which would be in violation of a condition to the consummation of the Company’s initial business combination, and as a consequence, the Company may be forced to find additional financing to consummate such a business combination, consummate a different business combination or liquidate.

Accordingly, under the provision of EITF D-98, Classification and Measurement of Redeemable Securities, the Company has classified 29.99% of the net proceeds from the Offering, or $19,761,913, outside permanent equity.

See Note 11 relating to the Staff Accounting Bulletin 108 adjustment

The Company presently occupies office space provided by a company owned by the Company’s Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer and President. Such entity has agreed that, until the Company consummates a Business Combination, it will make such office space, as well as utilities, administrative,

technology and secretarial services, available to the Company, as may be required by the Company from time to time. The Company has agreed to pay such entity $7,500 per month for such services commencing on November 8, 2007.

Pursuant to letter agreements between each of the Initial Stockholders, the Company and Morgan Joseph, the Initial Stockholders have waived their rights to receive distributions with respect to the 1,875,000 founding shares in the event the Company is liquidated in accordance with its Articles of Incorporation on November 8, 2009.

11. Subsequent Events

(1) On January 16, 2009, the Company issued a promissory note of $200,000 to 2020 International, on similar terms as the other promissory notes issued to 2020 International during 2008. Prior to the issuance of each of the promissory notes, and upon full disclosure to Board of Directors of the foregoing relationships, the transaction and the terms of the promissory notes were approved by disinterested and independent directors of the Board of Directors.

(2.) (Unaudited) Subsequent to filing the Company’s Form 10-K, management determined there was an overstatement of the Company’s redemption obligation of common stock, subject to possible redemption and an understatement of additional paid-in capital of approximately $724,000 which represents $0.28 per share of the 2,586,638 ordinary shares sold in the Offering as described in more detail in Note 9. Under Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) 99, Materiality, and SAB 108, Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements, the Company evaluated the quantitative and qualitative aspects of the adjustment and determined the correction was not material. There was no impact on the Cash held in trust fund as of December 31, 2008 or 2007, and the Company’s results of operations or cash flow statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007. The effect of this change was to increase additional paid-in capital and decrease the redemption obligation by $724,000 as of December 31, 2008 and 2007 in the accompanying financial statements.

Note 1 — Interim Financial Information

The consolidated financial statements at June 30, 2009 and for the period ended June 30, 2009 have been prepared by the Company and are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal accruals and recurring items) have been made that are necessary to present fairly the financial position of 2020 ChinaCap Acquirco, Inc. (the “Company”) and its subsidiary as of June 30, 2009 and the results of their operations and cash flows for the periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008. Operating results presented for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any other interim period or for the full year.

These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2008 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 30, 2009. The accounting policies used in preparing these unaudited consolidated financial statements are consistent with those described in such filing.

Note 2 — Organization, Business Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

2020 ChinaCap Acquirco, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in Delaware on August 21, 2006 as a public acquisition company whose objective is to acquire an operating business that either: (1) is located in the People’s Republic of China, the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region or the Macau Special Administrative Region (collectively, “China”), (2) has its principal operations located in China, or, (3) in the view of the Board of Directors of the Company, would benefit from establishing operations in China. Upon formation, the authorized share capital was 3,000 shares of common stock with par value of $0.01 per share. According to the preorganization subscription agreement dated August 18, 2006 with the director and stockholder, the Company issued 100 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.01 per share to the stockholder at $1.00 each. On January 31, 2007, the stockholder and the director effected several changes to the Company’s corporate structure by consent in lieu of a special meeting, and amended its Certificate of Incorporation as follows:

Increased the number of the authorized shares of the Company’s common stock from 3,000 to 25,000,000, with par value of $0.0001 per share;
Authorized 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, with par value of $0.0001 per share; and
Provided that, absent a duly authorized amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation upon the consummation of a Business Combination, the Company will continue in existence only to November 8, 2009.

In addition to effecting the proceeding amendments to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, the Company also issued an additional 1,874,900 shares of common stock with par value of $0.0001 per share for $24,900 by unanimous written consent in lieu of a special meeting of the Board of Directors dated as of January 31, 2007.

The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Offering. Although substantially all of the net proceeds of the Offering are intended to be generally applied toward consummating a business combination with an operating business that has its principal operations located in China (“Business Combination”), there is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully effect a Business Combination. Upon closing of the Offering, $7.92 per Unit of the proceeds from the Offering, net of all applicable discounts and commissions but inclusive of $0.28 per Unit in deferred underwriting compensation and the proceeds from the sale of the Insider Warrants (as defined below) were deposited and held in a trust account for the benefit of the Company. The corpus of the Trust Account is invested in United States “government securities” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act having a maturity of 180 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act until the earlier of (i) the consummation of

its first Business Combination or (ii) liquidation of the Company. The placing of 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, prospective target businesses or other entities it engages execute agreements with the Company waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the Trust Account, there is no guarantee that they will execute such agreements.

The Company’s executive officers and Dr. Jianming Yu, one of the Company’s directors, and certain entities controlled by these executive officers and Dr. Jianming Yu have agreed that they will be personally 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 or contracted or for products sold to the Company. However, there can be no assurance that they will be able to satisfy those obligations. 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. Additionally, up to an aggregate of $1,350,000 of interest earned on the Trust Account balance, net of taxes, may be released to the Company to fund working capital requirements, of which $1,090,902 has been released to the Company as of June 30, 2009. The Company, after signing a definitive agreement for the acquisition of a target business, is required to submit such transaction for stockholder approval. In the event that stockholders owning 30% or more of the shares sold in the Offering vote against the Business Combination and exercise their conversion rights described below, the Business Combination will not be consummated. All of the Company’s stockholders prior to the Offering, including all of the officers and directors of the Company (“Initial Stockholders”), have agreed to vote their 1,875,000 founding shares of common stock in accordance with the vote of the majority in interest of all other stockholders of the Company (“Public Stockholders”) with respect to any Business Combination. After consummation of a Business Combination, these voting safeguards will no longer be applicable.

With respect to a Business Combination that is approved and consummated, any Public Stockholder who voted against the Business Combination may demand that the Company convert his or her shares. The per share conversion price will equal the amount in the Trust Account, calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the proposed Business Combination, divided by the number of shares of common stock held by Public Stockholders at the consummation of the Offering. Accordingly, Public Stockholders holding up to 29.99% of the aggregate number of shares owned by all Public Stockholders may seek conversion of their shares in the event of a Business Combination. Such Public Stockholders are entitled to receive their per share interest in the Trust Account computed without regard to the shares held by Initial Stockholders.

In the event of liquidation, it is likely that the per share value of the residual assets remaining available for distribution (including Trust Account assets) will be less than the initial public offering price per share in the Offering (assuming no value is attributed to the Warrants contained in the Units offered in the Offering discussed in Note 3).

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that if the Company is not able to complete a business combination by November 8, 2009, its corporate existence will cease, except for the process of winding up and liquidating. The Company incorporated a 100% owned BVI subsidiary, Exceed Company Limited (“Exceed”) on April 21, 2009 for the purpose of completing a business combination. Exceed is a limited company with 1,000 issued ordinary shares of $1 each. During the period, as more fully described under note 10, Exceed the wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, along with the Company, has entered into an agreement to acquire a company in the People’s Republic of China.

On May 11, 2009, the Company issued a press release announcing that it and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Exceed, had entered into a definitive share purchase agreement (“Share Purchase Agreement”) with Windrace International Company Limited (“Windrace”). Windrace is one of the largest branded sportswear companies in China that is engaged in the design, manufacturing, trading and distribution of sporting goods, including footwear, apparel and accessories, in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”). As a result of the transaction, Exceed will merge with the Company with Exceed as the surviving entity and Windrace will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Exceed. Windrace’s current management team will remain in place to run the business following consummation of the acquisition.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Development stage company:

The Company complies with the reporting requirements of Statements of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 7, “Accounting and Reporting by Development Stage Enterprises.”

Principles of consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiary, referred to collectively as “the Group.” All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Net (loss) profit per common share:

The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 128, “Earnings Per Share.” Net (loss) profit per common share is computed by dividing net (loss) profit by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Except where the result would be antidilutive, net (loss) profit per share of common stock, assuming dilution, reflects the maximum potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock and would then share in the net (loss) profit of the Company.

Concentration of credit risk:

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash accounts in a financial institution, which at June 30, 2009 had a total balance of $307,769. Although the balance slightly exceeded the Federal Depository Insurance Coverage of $250,000 through June 30, 2009, the Company has not experienced any loss 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 SFAS No. 107, “Disclosure About Fair Value of Financial Instruments,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the balance sheet.

Use of estimates:

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Reclassification:

During the previous quarter ended March 31, 2009, the Company corrected the redemption obligation of common stock, subject to possible redemption and additional paid-in capital in accordance to the terms thereof. (See footnote 9 for additional information.) Under Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) 99, Materiality, and SAB 108, Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements, the Company evaluated the quantitative and qualitative aspects of the adjustment and determined the correction was not material. There was no impact on the cash held in trust fund as of December 31, 2008, and the Company’s results of operations or cash flow statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008.

Income taxes:

The Company complies with SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” which requires an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed for differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in future taxable or deductible amounts, based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

Effective January 1, 2007, the Company adopted the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN 48”). There were no unrecognized tax benefits as of January 1, 2007 and as of December 31, 2007, December 31, 2008 and June 30, 2009. FIN 48 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, 2008 or June 30, 2009. Management is currently unaware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviations from its position. The adoption of the provisions of FIN 48 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows. The Company currently files income tax returns in the United States, and is subject to tax examinations by tax authorities for tax years since inception in 2006.

Recently issued accounting standards:

In September 2006, FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements,” which is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and for interim periods within those years. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under U.S. GAAP, and enhances disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 applies when other accounting pronouncements require fair value measurements; it does not require any new fair value measurements. In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) No. FAS 157-2, “Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157,” which defers the effective date of SFAS No. 157 for non-financial assets and liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the consolidated financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually), until fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. The Company adopted FSP No. FAS 157-2 as of January 1, 2008 which deferred the application of FAS 157 for the non financial assets and liabilities to January 1, 2009.

Note 2 — Organization, Business Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies  – (continued)

In December 2007, FASB issued SFAS No. 141R, Business Combinations. SFAS No. 141R replaces SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations. SFAS No. 141R establishes principles and requirements for determining how an enterprise recognizes and measures the fair value of certain assets and liabilities acquired in a business combination, including non-controlling interests, contingent consideration and certain acquired contingencies. SFAS No. 141R also requires acquisition-related transaction expenses and restructuring costs be expensed as incurred rather than capitalized as a component of the business combination. This Statement shall be applied prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The Company adopted this Statement for its fiscal year ending December 31, 2009.

In December 2007, FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements — an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin (“ARB”) No. 51. SFAS No. 160 requires that accounting and reporting for minority interests will be recharacterized as non-controlling interests and classified as a component of equity. SFAS No. 160 also establishes reporting requirements that provide sufficient disclosures that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the non-controlling owners. SFAS No. 160 applies to all entities that prepare consolidated financial statements, except not-for-profit organizations, but will affect only those entities that have an outstanding non-controlling interest in one or more subsidiaries or that deconsolidate a subsidiary. This Statement is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Management is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this statement; however, it is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position, results of operation or cash flows.

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.” SFAS No. 161 requires disclosures of how and why an entity uses derivative instruments; how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for; and how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows. SFAS No. 161 is effective for the company beginning January 1, 2009. The Company adopted SFAS No. 161 on January 1, 2009 and it is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operation or cash flows.

As a result of the recent credit crisis, on October 10, 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 157-3, “Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset in a Market That is Not Active.” This FSP clarifies the application of SFAS No. 157 in a market that is not active. The FSP addresses how management should consider measuring fair value when relevant observable data does not exist. The FSP also provides guidance on how observable market information in a market that is not active should be considered when measuring fair value, as well as how the use of market quotes should be considered when assessing the relevance of observable and unobservable data available to measure fair value. This FSP is effective upon issuance, including prior periods for which financial statements have not been issued. Revisions resulting from a change in the valuation technique or its application shall be accounted for as a change in accounting estimate in accordance with SFAS No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections.” Adoption of this standard had no effect on our results of operations, cash flows or financial position.

In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165, “Subsequent Events,” which establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. The Company evaluated subsequent events after the balance sheet date of June 30, 2009 through the filing of this report with the SEC on August 14, 2009.

Note 2 — Organization, Business Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies  – (continued)

In June 2009, FASB issued SFAS No. 166, “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140.” SFAS 166 is applied to financial asset transfers on or after the effective date, which is January 1, 2010 for the Company’s financial statements. SFAS 166 limits the circumstances in which a financial asset may be de-recognized when the transferor has not transferred the entire financial asset or has continuing involvement with the transferred asset. The concept of a qualifying special-purpose entity, which had previously facilitated sale accounting for certain asset transfers, is removed by SFAS 166. The Company expects that adoption of SFAS 166 will not have a material effect on its financial position or results of operations.

In June 2009, FASB issued SFAS No. 167, “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)” which deals with accounting for variable interest entities and is effective for reporting periods beginning after November 15, 2009. The amendments change the process for how an enterprise determines which party consolidates a variable interest entity (VIE) to a primarily qualitative analysis. SFAS 167 defines the party that consolidates the VIE (the primary beneficiary) as the party with (1) the power to direct activities of the VIE that most significantly affect the VIE’s economic performance and (2) the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE. Upon adoption of SFAS 167, reporting enterprises must reconsider their conclusions on whether an entity should be consolidated and should a change result, the effect on net assets will be recorded as a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings. The Company expects that adoption of SFAS 167 will not have a material effect on its financial position or results of operations.

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 consolidated financial statements.

Note 3 — Public Offering

On November 15, 2007, the Company consummated the sale of 7,500,000 units (“Units”) at a price of $8.00 per Unit in the Offering. Each Unit consists of one share of the Company’s common stock, $0.0001 par value, and one redeemable common stock purchase warrant (“Warrants”). Each Warrant entitles the holder to purchase from the Company one share of common stock at an exercise price of $5.25 commencing on the later of (i) November 8, 2008 or (ii) the completion of a Business Combination with a target business, and expires on November 8, 2011. The Warrants are redeemable at a price of $0.01 per Warrant upon 30 days prior notice after the Warrants become exercisable, only in the event that the last sale price of the common stock is at least $11.50 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30 trading day period ending on the third business day prior to the date on which notice of redemption is given. In accordance with the warrant agreement relating to the Warrants sold and issued in the Offering, the Company is only required to use its best efforts to maintain the effectiveness of the registration statement covering the Warrants. The Company will not be obligated to deliver securities, and there are no contractual penalties for failure to deliver securities, if a registration statement is not effective at the time of exercise. Additionally, in the event that a registration statement is not effective at the time of exercise, the holder of such Warrants shall not be entitled to exercise such Warrants and in no event (whether in the case of a registration statement not being effective or otherwise) will the Company be required to net cash settle the warrant exercise. Consequently, the Warrants may expire unexercised and unredeemed.

On November 26, 2007, the underwriters of the Offering exercised their over-allotment option to the extent of 1,125,000 Units. The 8,625,000 Units sold in the Offering, including the 1,125,000 Units subject to the over-allotment option, were sold at an offering price of $8.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $69,000,000, $68,090,685, including $2,265,000 of proceeds from the previously-announced private placement of the warrants issued to entities affiliated with the management team, has been placed in the Trust Account.

Note 3 — Public Offering  – (continued)

The Company paid the underwriters in the Offering an underwriting discount of 3.5% of the gross proceeds of the Offering. The underwriters have agreed that an additional 3.5% of the underwriting discount will not be payable unless and until the Company completes a Business Combination and have waived their right to receive such payment upon the Company’s liquidation if it is unable to complete a Business Combination. The Company has also issued a unit purchase option for $100 to Morgan Joseph to purchase 550,000 Units at an exercise price of $10.00 per Unit. The Units issuable upon exercise of this option are identical to the Units offered in the Offering. The Company accounted for the fair value of the unit purchase option, inclusive of the receipt of the $100 cash payment, as an expense of the Offering resulting in a charge directly to stockholders’ equity. The Company estimates that the fair value of this unit purchase option is approximately $1,657,226 ($3.01 per Unit) using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The fair value of the unit purchase option granted to the underwriters is estimated as of the date of grant using the following assumptions: (1) expected volatility of 45.46%, (2) risk-free interest rate of 3.67%, and (3) expected life of 5 years. The unit purchase option may be exercised for cash or on a “cashless” basis, at the holder’s option, such that the holder may use the appreciated value of the unit purchase option (the difference between the exercise prices of the unit purchase option and the underlying Warrants and the market price of the Units and underlying securities) to exercise the unit purchase option without the payment of any cash. The Company will have no obligation to net cash settle the exercise of the unit purchase option or the Warrants underlying the unit purchase option. If the holder is unable to exercise the unit purchase option or underlying Warrants, the unit purchase option or Warrants, as applicable, will expire worthless.

Note 4 — Deferred and Accrued Offering Costs

Deferred and accrued offering costs consist principally of legal fees, underwriting fees and other costs incurred through the balance sheet date that are directly related to the Offering described in Note 2 and that were charged to stockholders’ equity upon the receipt of the capital raised.

The Company’s legal counsel agreed to cap legal fees due by the Company at the closing of the Offering to $350,000, provided that any excess fees shall be paid by the Company upon the completion of a Business Combination. Total legal fees payable included in accrued offering costs directly related to the Offering were $409,908 as of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008.

Upon completion of the Offering of 8,625,000 Units (including 1,125,000 Units pursuant to the underwriters’ over-allotment option sold on November 26, 2007) at a price of $8 per unit, the Company received net proceeds of approximately $68,240,685 from the Offering, after deducting offering expenses of approximately $5,439,315 which included underwriting discounts of $4,830,000. This amount includes $2,415,000 of the underwriting discounts and commissions due (deferred underwriters’ fees) which the underwriters have agreed will not be payable unless and until the Company consummates a Business Combination.

Note 5 — Notes Payable to Stockholders

In December 2006, the Company issued a $50,000 unsecured promissory note to one of its Initial Stockholders, who is also an officer and director of the Company. Under the terms of the note, as amended, the Company may reduce the amount of the note payable by offsetting any funds advanced by the Company to third parties at the direction of the lender. The amount of the note payable was reduced in this manner to $47,291 as of December 31, 2007. The note payable was non-interest bearing and was initially payable on the earlier of December 17, 2007 or the consummation of the Offering. On November 15, 2007, the holders of the $50,000 unsecured promissory note and the Company agreed to extend the repayment date of the unsecured promissory note to March 31, 2008. Due to the short-term nature of the note, the fair value of the note approximates its carrying amount.

Note 5 — Notes Payable to Stockholders  – (continued)

In April 2007, the Company issued a $80,000 unsecured promissory note to 2020 International Capital Group Limited, the beneficial owner of a majority of the outstanding shares of stock of the Company at the time such promissory note was issued. The note payable was non-interest bearing and was payable on the earlier of April 5, 2008 or the consummation of the Offering. On November 15, 2007, the holders of the $80,000 unsecured promissory note and the Company agreed to change the repayment date of the unsecured promissory note to March 31, 2008.

Both notes were repaid in full by the Company on March 31, 2008.

In August 2008, December 2008, January 2009 and April 2009 the Company issued unsecured promissory notes of $150,000, $150,000, $200,000 and $200,000, respectively, to 2020 International Capital Group Limited, a company controlled by certain directors and executive officers of the Company. The notes payable are non-interest bearing and are due in August and December 2009, and January and April 2010, respectively, or at which time 2020 International Capital Group Limited demands full or partial payment of any balance outstanding. The proceeds from the notes have been used by the Company for working capital purposes.

Subsequent to June 30, 2009, the Company reached an agreement with 2020 International Capital Group Limited to extend the due date of the first $150,000 promissory note mentioned above from August 1, 2009 to December 31, 2009.

Note 6 — Related Party Transactions

Lease from Related Party

The Company presently occupies office space provided by a company owned by the Company’s Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer and President. Such entity has agreed that, until the Company consummates a Business Combination, it will make such office space, as well as utilities, administrative, technology and secretarial services, available to the Company, as may be required by the Company from time to time. The Company has agreed to pay such entity $7,500 per month for such services commencing on November 8, 2007. The Company has incurred $45,000 for each of the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and $150,000 from August 21, 2006 (date of inception) to June 30, 2009.

Note 7 — Preferred Stock

The Company is authorized to issue 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock with such designations, voting and other rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by the Board of Directors. As of June 30, 2009, no preferred stock is issued or outstanding. The agreement with the underwriters prohibits the Company, prior to a Business Combination, from issuing preferred stock that participates in the proceeds of the Trust Account or that votes as a class with the Common Stock on a Business Combination.

As of June 30, 2009, unused net operating losses equal to approximately $1,055,000 are available to offset federal taxable income for future years through 2028. SFAS 109 requires that the tax benefit of such net operating losses be recorded using current tax rates as an asset to the extent management assesses the utilization of such net operating losses to be more likely than not. Based on the Company’s current status as a special purpose acquisition company, the Company provided a full valuation allowance against the deferred tax asset at June 30, 2009.

Note 9 — Amount of Equity Subject to Possible Redemption

The Company is required to obtain shareholder approval for any business combination of a target business. In the event that public stockholders owning 30% or more of the shares sold in the Offering vote against a Business Combination, the Company will not proceed with a Business Combination if the public stockholders exercise their redemption rights. That is, the Company can still effect a Business Combination if the public stockholders owning up to approximately 29.99% of the shares sold in the Offering exercise their redemption rights.

This redemption obligation with respect to up to 29.99% of the shares sold in the Offering will exist regardless of how a Business Combination is structured. That is, the Company would be required to redeem up to an amount equal to the product of approximately 29.99% of the 8,625,000 ordinary shares sold in the Offering (or 2,586,638 ordinary shares) multiplied by an initial cash per-share redemption price of $7.92, per share, which amount represents $7.64 per share from the proceeds of the offering and $0.28 per unit of deferred underwriters’ fees. The actual per-share redemption price will be equal to the quotient of the amount in the Trust Account plus all accrued interest not previously released to the Company, as of two business days prior to the proposed consummation of the Business Combination, divided by 8,625,000 shares of common stock. However, the ability of stockholders to receive $7.92 per unit is subject to any valid claims by the Company’s creditors which are not covered by amounts held in the Trust Account or the indemnities provided by the Company’s officers and directors. The expected redemption price per share is greater than each stockholder’s initial pro rata share of the Trust Account of approximately $7.64 per share. Of the excess redemption

price, approximately $0.28 per share represents a portion of the underwriters’ contingent fee, which they have agreed to forego for each share that is redeemed. Accordingly, the total deferred underwriting compensation payable to the underwriters in the event of a business combination will be reduced by approximately $0.28 for each share that is redeemed. The balance will be paid from proceeds held in the Trust Account, which are payable to the Company upon consummation of a business combination. Even if less than 30% of the stockholders exercise their redemption rights, the Company may be unable to consummate a business combination if such redemption leaves the Company with funds insufficient to acquire or merge with a business with a fair market value greater than 80% of the Company’s net assets at the time of such acquisition, which would be in violation of a condition to the consummation of the Company’s initial business combination, and as a consequence, the Company may be forced to find additional financing to consummate such a business combination, consummate a different business combination or liquidate.

Accordingly, under the provision of EITF D-98, Classification and Measurement of Redeemable Securities, the Company has classified 29.99% of the net proceeds from the Offering, or $19,761,913, outside permanent equity.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2009, the Company corrected the overstatement of the Company’s redemption obligation of the common stock, subject to possible redemption and additional paid-in capital in accordance to the terms thereof. The overstatement amounted to approximately $724,000, which represents $0.28 per share of the 2,586,638 ordinary shares sold in the Offering. As a result, the Company’s redemption obligation was reduced by approximately $724,000, and additional paid-in capital was increased by the same amount. Under Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) 99, Materiality, and SAB 108, Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements, the Company evaluated the quantitative and qualitative aspects of the adjustment and determined the correction was not material. There was no impact on the cash held in trust fund as of December 31, 2008, and the Company’s results of operations or cash flow statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008. The effect of this change was to increase additional paid-in capital and decrease the redemption obligation by $724,000 as of December 31, 2008 in the accompanying balance sheet.

Note 10 — Agreement to Acquire Windrace International Company Limited

On May 11, 2009, the Company issued a press release announcing that it and its wholly-owned subsidiary Exceed, had entered into a definitive share purchase agreement with Windrace. Windrace is one of the largest branded sportswear companies in China that is engaged in the design, manufacturing, trading and distribution of sporting goods, including footwear, apparel and accessories, in the PRC. As a result of the transaction, Exceed will merge with the Company with Exceed as the surviving entity and Windrace will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Exceed. Windrace’s current management team will remain in place to run the business following consummation of the acquisition.

Windrace designs, develops and engages in wholesale of footwear, apparel and accessories under its own brand, XIDELONG, in China. It is one of the leading PRC sports and leisurewear brands in China in terms of market share by sales revenue. Since operations began in 2002, Windrace has experienced significant growth in the mass market concentrated in the second and third tier cities in China and has established a market leading position as one of the top five PRC sportswear brands. Windrace has three principal categories of products: (i) footwear, which comprises running, leisure, basketball, skateboarding and canvas footwear, (ii) apparel, which mainly comprises sports tops, pants, jackets, track suits and coats, and (iii) accessories, which mainly comprise bags, socks, hats and caps. Windrace’s primary footwear offering is running footwear, which represented over 23% of total revenue in 2008, the market for which has been rapidly growing in China due to the increasing demand for lifestyle and leisure products and heightened interest in health consciousness among Chinese customers. Windrace’s footwear is primarily manufactured at its own production

facility in Jinjiang, Fujian province, China. Products are sold through independent distributors who operate, directly or indirectly via third parties, retail stores and outlets.

A summary of the material items of acquisition was also stated in the Form S-4 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, as amended, containing a prospectus for the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement and a proxy for the special meeting of the Company’s stockholders to vote on the proposed business combination. The Company will not be able to mail the registration statement to its stockholders and schedule the special stockholder meeting to consider the business combination until the SEC declares the Form S-4 registration statement effective.

Note 11 — Commitments

The Company presently occupies office space provided by a company owned by the Company’s Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer and President. Such entity has agreed that, until the Company consummates a Business Combination, it will make such office space, as well as utilities, administrative, technology and secretarial services, available to the Company, as may be required by the Company from time to time. The Company has agreed to pay such entity $7,500 per month for such services commencing on November 8, 2007.

Pursuant to letter agreements between each of the Initial Stockholders, the Company and Morgan Joseph, the Initial Stockholders have waived their rights to receive distributions with respect to the 1,875,000 founding shares in the event the Company is liquidated in accordance with its Articles of Incorporation on November 8, 2009.

Note 12 — Subsequent Events

On July 27, 2009, Windrace entered into an Investment Agreement (the “Investment Agreement”) and an Escrow Agreement (the “Escrow Agreement”) with Wisetech Holdings Limited (“Wisetech”), Windtech Holdings Limited (“Windtech” and, collectively with Wisetech, the “Investors”) and Shuipan Lin, the CEO and a principal stockholder of Windrace (“Lin”). Pursuant to the terms of the Investment Agreement, the Investors will invest an aggregate of $30,000,000 in Windrace in two installments:

An initial investment of $2,500,000, paid into escrow pursuant to the Escrow Agreement.
A subsequent investment of $27,500,000 payable upon the closing of the Investment Agreement (the “Closing”).

The Closing of the Investment Agreement is conditioned upon the satisfaction of the conditions for closing the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement. On the Closing, Exceed shall issue to the Investors that number of Exceed ordinary shares equal to $27,500,000 divided by $7.58 per share. On the date being six months after the date of the Closing, Windrace shall sell to the Investors up to 2,500,000 warrants for the purchase of common stock of the Company (“Warrants”), which Windrace has purchased in the open market. The sale of Warrants to the Investors shall be paid for using the initial investment installment of $2,500,000. In the event that less than 2,500,000 Warrants are sold to the Investors or there is a residual balance of the initial investment installment after the sale of the Warrants to the Investors, Exceed shall issue to the Investors that number of Exceed ordinary shares equal to the balance of unused funds divided by $7.58 per share. The maximum amount of Exceed ordinary shares issuable to the Investors assuming no purchase of Warrants by the Investors, is 3,957,784 shares ($30,000,000/$7.58).

On July 27, 2009, the Company, Exceed, Windrace and the Sellers entered into a Supplemental Agreement to Agreement for Sale and Purchase of Windrace (the “Supplemental Agreement”) amending the Purchase Agreement in two respects:

The Supplemental Agreement limits the maximum number of New Investor Shares (as defined below) issuable under the Purchase Agreement to approximately 3,957,784 shares. The Purchase Agreement provided that if, subsequent to the execution of the Purchase Agreement, Windrace sells to third parties, and has received consideration for, any of its ordinary shares, at closing Exceed will issue to such third parties Exceed ordinary shares (the “New Investor Shares”). The Supplemental Agreement further provides that the amount of shares to be issued to such new shareholders will be equal to the aggregate amount paid for shares of Windrace divided by the lowest of the closing price of the Company on each of the last trading days of March, April and May 2009, which is determined to be $7.58 per share.

The Supplemental Agreement also provides that the Sellers, who will control Exceed upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, will cause Exceed to promptly register for resale under the federal securities laws all outstanding ordinary shares of Exceed excluding the shares that will be held in escrow at closing.

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Windrace International Company Limited and its subsidiaries

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Windrace International Company Limited (the Company) and its subsidiaries (collectively the “Group”) as of December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, and the related consolidated income statements, statements of changes in equity, comprehensive income and cash flow statements for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2008.

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) and International Standards on Auditing.

The Group is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting.

Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances.

We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the related income statements, statements of changes in equity, comprehensive income and cash flow statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Windrace International Company Limited and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2008 in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the Six Months Ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 (Unaudited) and
the Years Ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006

1. CORPORATE INFORMATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Corporate information:

Xdlong International Company Limited (“Xdlong”) is a limited liability company incorporated in the Cayman Islands. Xdlong’s registered office is located at Cricket Square, Hutchins Drive, PO Box 2681, Grand Cayman, KY1-1111, Cayman Islands, and its principal place of business is situated at Xidelong Industrial Zone, Jinjiang, Fujian Province, People’s Republic of China. Pursuant to a group reorganization effective April 28, 2008, Xdlong became the holding company of certain subsidiaries, as described below. Pursuant to a special resolution passed on April 28, 2009, Xdlong changed its name to Windrace International Company Limited. Unless the context indicates otherwise, the “Company” refers to Windrace International Company Limited and its subsidiaries, as described below, as the “Group.” Mr, Lin Shuipan and Ms. Chen Xiayu continues to govern the financial and operating policies and activities of such entities following ownership interest held by third parties since March 2008. Accordingly, such entities were under the common control of Mr. Lin Shuipan and Ms. Chen Xiayu for all periods presented herein.

Basis of presentation

The reorganization of the Group involved a combination of entities under the common control of Mr. Lin Shuipan and Ms. Chen Xiayu. Accordingly, under paragraphs 10 through 13 of IFRS 3, “Business Combinations” (“IFRS 3”), a combination of entities under common control is deemed to be outside the scope of IFRS 3. Since the reorganization of the Group did not result in any change in the effective control of the Group or the relative shareholder interests before and after the reorganization, the accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a consolidated basis at historical cost for all periods presented. On this basis, the Company has been treated as the holding company of its subsidiaries for all periods presented.

The consolidated income statements, consolidated statements of changes in equity and consolidated cash flow statements of the Group include the results of operations and cash flows of its subsidiaries now comprising the Group and have been prepared as if the current group structure had been in existence as of the beginning of the each of the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 and the three years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006 (the “Relevant Periods”), or since the respective dates of their incorporation or establishment, whichever is shorter. The consolidated balance sheets of the Group as of June 30, 2009 and 2008 and December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006 have been prepared to present the assets and liabilities of the Group as of the respective dates as if the current group structure had been in existence at those dates.

All intra-group transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation.

the Years Ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006

2.1. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES  – (continued)

The financial statements as of June 30, 2009 and 2008 and for the periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 have been prepared by the Group and are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal accrual and recurring items) necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Group as of June 30, 2009 and 2008 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the periods ended June 30 2009 and 2008, have been made. Operating results presented for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any other interim periods or for the respective years.

Subsidiaries

A subsidiary is an entity whose financial and operating policies the Group controls, directly or indirectly, so as to obtain benefits from its activities.

Related parties

A party is considered to be related to the Group if:

(a) the party, directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, (i) controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with, the Group; (ii) has an interest in the Company that gives it significant influence over the Group; or (iii) has joint control over the Group;
(b) the party is a member of the key management personnel of the Group;
(c) the party is a close member of the family of any individual referred to in (a) or (b);
(d) the party is an entity that is controlled, jointly controlled or significantly influenced by or for which significant voting power in such entity resides with, directly or indirectly, any individual referred to in (b) or (c); or
(e) the party is a post-employment benefit plan for the benefit of the employees of the Group, or of any entity that is a related party of the Group.

Impairment of non-financial assets

Where an indication of impairment exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required (other than inventories, deferred tax assets and financial assets), the asset's recoverable amount is estimated. An asset's recoverable amount is the higher of the asset's or cash-generating unit's value in use and its fair value less costs to sell, and is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets, in which case the recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

An impairment loss is recognized only if the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. An impairment loss is charged to the consolidated income statements in the period in which it arises.

An assessment is made at each reporting date as to whether there is any indication that previously recognized impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount is estimated. A previously recognized impairment loss of an asset is reversed only if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount of that asset, but not to an amount higher than the carrying amount that would have been determined (net of any depreciation/amortization) had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior periods. A reversal of such impairment loss is credited to the consolidated income statements in the period in which it arises.

the Years Ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006

2.1. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES  – (continued)

Property, plant and equipment and depreciation

Property, plant and equipment, other than construction in progress, are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairment losses.

The costs of property, plant and equipment comprise purchase prices and any directly attributable costs of bringing the assets to their working condition and location for intended use. Expenditures incurred after property, plant and equipment have been put into operation, such as repairs and maintenance, are normally charged to the consolidated income statements in the period in which they are incurred. In situations where it can be clearly demonstrated that the expenditures have resulted in increases in the future economic benefits expected to be obtained from the use of property, plant and equipment, and where the costs can be measured reliably, the expenditures are capitalized as additional costs of the assets or as replacements.

Depreciation is calculated on the straight-line basis to reduce the costs of property, plant and equipment to their residual value over estimated useful lives. The estimated useful lives used for this purpose are as follows:

 
Buildings   Over the shorter of lease terms or 20 years
Leasehold improvements   5 years
Plant and machinery   5 to 10 years
Motor vehicles   5 years
Furniture, fixtures and office equipment   5 years

Where components of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, the costs are allocated on a reasonable basis among the components and each component is depreciated separately.

Residual values, useful lives and the depreciation method are reviewed by management, and adjusted, if appropriate, at each balance sheet date.

Property, plant and equipment are derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from their use or disposal. Any gains or losses on disposal or retirement recognized in the consolidated income statements in the year the assets are derecognized are the differences between the net sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the relevant assets.

Construction in progress represents buildings under construction, which is stated at cost less any impairment losses, and is not depreciated. Cost comprises the direct costs of construction during the period of construction. Construction in progress is reclassified to the appropriate category of property, plant and equipment when completed and ready for use.

Research and development costs

All research and development costs are charged to the consolidated income statements as incurred.

Expenditures incurred on projects to develop new products are capitalized or deferred only when the Group can demonstrate the technical feasibility of completed products so that they will be available for internal use or sale, the Group has the intention and its ability to complete, use or sell the assets, the assets are expected to generate future economic benefits, resources are available for the Group to complete the projects and the Group has the ability to measure reliably the expenditures during the development stage. Product development expenditures which do not meet these criteria are expensed when incurred.

2.1. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES  – (continued)

Financial assets

Financial assets within the scope of IAS 39 “Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurements” are classified as loans and receivables. When financial assets are recognized initially, they are measured at fair value. The Group assesses whether a financial asset contains an embedded derivative when the Group first becomes a party to it and whether the embedded derivatives is required to be recognized separately from their host financial asset when the analysis shows that the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivatives are not closely related to those of the host financial asset. Reassessment only occurs if there is a change in the terms of the financial asset that significantly modifies the cash flows that would otherwise be required under the financial asset.

The Group determines the classification of financial assets upon the initial recognition and, where allowed and appropriate, re-evaluates the classification at the balance sheet date reported.

All regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognized on the trade dates, that is, the dates when the Group commits to purchase or sell the assets. Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within the period generally established by regulation or convention in the marketplace.

Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Such assets are subsequently carried at amortized cost using the effective interest method less any allowance for impairment. Amortized cost is calculated taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and includes fees that are an integral part of the effective interest rate and transaction costs. Gains and losses are recognized in the consolidated income statements when the loans and receivables are derecognized or impaired, as well as through the amortization process.

Impairment of financial assets

The Group assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is any objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets are impaired.

Assets carried at amortized cost

If there is objective evidence that impairment loss on loans and receivables carried at amortized cost has occurred, the amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows (excluding future credit losses that have not been incurred) discounted at the financial asset's original effective interest rate (i.e., the effective interest rate computed at initial recognition). The carrying amount of the asset is reduced either directly or through the use of an allowance account. The amount of the impairment loss is recognized in the consolidated income statements in the period when it occurs. Loan and receivables together with any associated allowances are written off when there is no realistic prospect of future recovery.

If, subsequent to the recognition of the impairment loss, management determines that the amount of the impairment loss has decreased and the decrease can be attributed objectively to an event occurring after the impairment is recognized, the previously recognized impairment loss is reversed by adjusting the allowance account in the consolidated income statements in the period when the reversal is recognized, to the extent that the carrying value of the asset does not exceed its amortized cost at the reversal date.

In relation to trade receivables, an impairment allowance is made when there is objective evidence (such as the probability of insolvency, significant financial difficulties of the debtor or significant changes in the technological, market economic or legal environment that have an adverse effect on the debtor) that the Group

will not be able to collect all of the amounts due under the original terms of an invoice. The carrying amount of the receivables is reduced through the use of an allowance account. Impaired receivables are derecognized when they are assessed as uncollectible.

Derecognition of financial assets

A financial asset (or, when applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is derecognized where:

the rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired;
the Group retains the rights to receive cash flows from the asset, but has assumed an obligation to pay the assets in full without material delay to a third party under a “pass-through” arrangement; or
the Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset and either (a) has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset.

Where the Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from an asset and has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset nor transferred control of the asset, the asset is recognized to the extent of the Group's continuing involvement in the asset. Continuing involvement that takes the form of a guarantee over the transferred asset is measured at the lower of the original carrying amount of the asset and the maximum amount of consideration that the Group could be required to repay.

Derecognition of financial liabilities

A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires.

Where an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as a derecognition of the original liability and a recognition of a new liability, and the difference between the carrying amounts of existing and new financial liabilities is recognized in the consolidated income statements.

Financial liabilities at amortized cost (including interest-bearing loans and borrowings)

Financial liabilities including trade and bills payables, interest-bearing borrowings and other monetary liabilities are initially stated at fair value less directly attributable transaction costs and subsequently measured at amortized cost, using the effective interest method unless the effect of discounting would be immaterial, in which case they are stated at cost. The related interest expense is recognized in finance costs in the consolidated income statements.

Gains and losses are recognized in the consolidated income statements when the liabilities are derecognized as well as through the amortization process.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value after making due allowances for obsolete or slow moving items. Cost is calculated using the weighted average cost method and comprises all costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition.

Net realizable value is based on the estimated selling prices less any estimated costs to be incurred for completion of the production process and disposal upon delivery of finished goods to distributors.

When inventories are sold, the carrying amount of those inventories is recognized as cost of sales in the period in which the related sales are recognized.

2.1. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES  – (continued)

Leases

Leases where substantially all the rewards and risks of ownership of assets remain with the lessor are accounted for as operating leases. Where the Group is the lessee, rentals payable under the operating leases are charged to the consolidated income statements on the straight-line basis over the lease terms.

Prepaid land lease payments

Prepaid land lease payments under PRC land use right arrangements are initially stated at cost and subsequently amortized on the straight-line basis over the lease terms.

Cash and cash equivalents

For the purpose of the consolidated cash flow statements, cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and demand deposits, and short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash, are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value, and have a short maturity of generally within six months when acquired, less bank overdrafts which are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the Group's cash management.

For the purpose of the consolidated balance sheets, cash and bank balances comprise cash on hand and at banks, including term deposits, which are not restricted as to use.

Provisions

A provision is recognized when a present obligation (legal or constructive) has arisen as a result of a past event and it is probable that a future outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, provided that a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

When the effect of discounting is material, the amount recognized for a provision is the present value at the balance sheet date of the future expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation. The increase in the discounted present value amount arising from the passage of time is included in finance costs in the consolidated income statements.

Income tax

Income tax comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax is recognized in the consolidated income statements, or in equity if it relates to items that are recognized in the same or a different period directly in equity.

Current tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authority.

Deferred tax is provided, using the liability method, on all temporary differences at the balance sheet date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences, except:

where the deferred tax liability arises from goodwill or from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; and
in respect of taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, where the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

the Years Ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006

2.1. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES  – (continued)

Deferred tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences, carryforward of unused tax credits and tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, and the unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilized, except:

where the deferred tax asset relating to the deductible temporary differences arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; and
in respect of deductible temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, deferred tax assets are only recognized to the extent that it is probable that the temporary differences will reverse in the foreseeable future and future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date and, where appropriate, reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax assets to be utilized. Conversely, previously unrecognized deferred tax assets are reassessed at each balance sheet date and are recognized to the extent that it is probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilized.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realized or the liability is settled. The expected rates are projected based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when the Group has a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the Group intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized when there is probable economic benefits to the Group and when the revenue can be measured reliably, on the following bases:

(a) from sale of goods, when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the buyer, provided that the Group maintains neither managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership, nor effective control over the goods sold; which usually occurs when the product is sold and delivered to the distributors with all transportation and handling costs for delivery of products borne and paid directly by the distributors, and
(b) interest income, on an accrual basis using the effective interest method by applying the rate that discounts the estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial instruments to their net carrying amount.

In addition, the Group utilizes preliminary purchase orders received from consultations with customers at sales fairs to prepare sales estimates and formulate production schedules for upcoming seasons. Purchase order quantities may be subsequently adjusted upward or downward by amounts ranging from 10% to 15% before finalization. Once a purchase order is finalized, the Group re-confirms the delivery schedule of sales orders with each distributor before shipment. Distributors are invoiced and sales are recognized by the Group only at the time that products are ultimately delivered to distributors.

Although the Group’s policy is to recognise product returns as a reduction of revenue, the Group has not deemed it necessary to accrue for returns at the time when sales are recorded, as the Group has not had any

significant product returns or similar claims. Management periodically reviews this matter and will consider making such accruals, when there are indications of significant sales returns or similar claims in future periods.

Although the Group accepts returns of defective products from distributors, distributors generally choose to sell any defective products at a discount rather than to return such defective products to the Group. Since distributors are required to comply with the Group’s pricing policy, prior written consent must be obtained from the Group before any products are sold at a discount to the suggested retail price, which is determined on a case-by-case basis. The Group does not provide any compensation to distributors for defective products. To date, the number and value of defective products has been minimal.

The Group does not have any arrangements with distributors to accept returns of out-of-season stock. When in-season new products arrives, the current products on shelves become out-of-season stock.

The Group does not provide volume-based discount programs or discounts for early payment.

The Group closely monitors inventories and sales by distributors by requiring distributors to provide monthly inventory reports since 2008 and quarterly inventory reports prior to 2008, and by reviewing local market condition reports provided by the Group’s regional sales managers. The monitoring of market information through the regional sales managers assists the Group in collecting sales and inventory data to arrange production schedules and maintain optimum inventory levels. The Group also carries out random on-site inspections of distributors and authorised retail stores to track inventories and sales performance.

The Group encourages distributors to clear their out-of-season inventory levels. An authorised retailer with excess inventory at the end of a season may attempt to sell such excess inventory through regular and special end-of-season sales. Since distributors must strictly comply with the Group’s suggested retail pricing policy, prior written consent must be obtained from the Group before a distributor may conduct any promotional events or sell any of the Group’s products to consumers at a discount to the suggested retail price. The distributors bear the costs of any sales discounts and the Group is not required to provide credits or subsidies to distributors for their seasonal clearance activities.

In order to facilitate the operation and development of its business, including promoting brand recognition and building a nationwide brand image, the Group provides selective industry-standard post-sales assistance and guidance to distributors, including training of distributors’ employees and promotional equipment and marketing brochures. Distributors are required to sell the Group’s products on an exclusive basis to be eligible for such assistance and guidance.

To encourage distributors to expand sales to authorised retail stores and to create a uniform high-quality store image nationwide, the Group provides certain build-out and renovation subsidies to qualified authorised retail stores. Depending on the category of the authorised retail stores, the Group has different sets of criteria and standards for determining whether a store qualifies for the subsidies, including location, size and rent for the authorised retail stores, as well as compliance with the Group’s standards.

Build-out and renovation subsidies are provided to distributors who have qualified authorised retail stores within their designated sales regions. Where a particular authorised retail store is operated by a third-party retailer, such subsidies are provided to the retailer through the distributor.

Such subsidies are granted and paid when a new or renovated store is approved, and are charged to operations when payments are made. The Company provided subsidies of RMB32,258,000 and RMB40,266,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 and RMB71,522,000, RMB34,699,000 and

2.1. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES  – (continued)

RMB22,765,000, for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively. These amounts were included in selling and distribution costs.

Finance costs

Finance costs are recognized as expenses in the consolidated income statements in the period in which they are incurred.

Purchasing, receiving and warehousing costs

Costs incurred in purchasing, receiving and warehousing of raw materials and finished goods are charged to cost of sales.

Government grants

Government grants are recognized at their fair value where there is reasonable assurance that the grants will be received and the Group is able to comply all conditions attached to the grants. When a grant relates to an expense item, it is recognized as income over the period that matches the period over which the related expense is incurred. Where the grant relates to an asset, the fair value is deducted from the carrying amount of the asset and released to the consolidated income statements by way of a reduced depreciation charge.

Employee benefits

Pension schemes

The employees of the Group's subsidiaries which operate in Mainland China are required to participate in publicly administered pension schemes operated by the local municipal government. The subsidiaries are required to contribute certain percentages of their payroll costs to the central pension schemes. The Group has no further payment obligations once the contributions have been paid. The contributions are charged to the consolidated income statements as they become payable in accordance with the rules of the central pension scheme.

Other benefits

The Group contributes on a monthly basis to defined contribution housing, medical and other benefit plans organized by the PRC government. The PRC government assumes the obligations to all existing and retired employees under these plans. Contributions to these plans by the Group are expensed as incurred. The Group has no further obligations beyond the required contributions under these plans.

Foreign currencies

These financial statements are presented in RMB. Each entity in the Group determines its own functional currency and items included in the financial statements of each entity are measured using that functional currency. Foreign currency transactions are initially recorded using the functional currency rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the functional currency rates of exchange prevailing at the balance sheet date. All differences at settlement from the initial recognition are taken to the consolidated income statements. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the dates of the initial transactions. Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value was determined.

The functional currencies of certain overseas subsidiaries are currencies other than RMB. As of the balance sheet date, the assets and liabilities of these entities are translated into the presentation currency of the Group at exchange rates ruling at the balance sheet date and, their income statements are translated into RMB

at the weighted average exchange rates for the period. The resulting exchange differences are included in a separate component of equity, the exchange fluctuation reserve. On disposal of a foreign entity, the deferred cumulative amount recognized in equity relating to that particular foreign operation is recognized in the consolidated income statements.

For the purpose of the consolidated cash flow statements, the cash flows of foreign subsidiaries are translated into RMB at the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the cash flows. Frequently recurring cash flows of overseas subsidiaries which arise throughout the period are translated into RMB at the weighted average exchange rates for the period.

2.2. IMPACT OF ISSUED BUT NOT YET EFFECTIVE INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS

The Group has not applied the following new and revised IFRSs, that have been issued but are not yet effective, in the financial statements.

 
IFRS 3 (Revised)   Business Combination(1)
IAS 27 (Revised)   Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements(1)
IAS 39 Amendments   Amendments to IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement — Eligible Hedged Items(1)
IAS 39 and IFRIC 9 Amendments   Amendments to IFRIC 9 “Reassessment of Embedded Derivatives” and IAS 39 “Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement”(2)

Apart from the above, the IASB has also issued Improvements to IFRSs* which sets out amendments to a number of IFRSs primarily with a view to removing inconsistencies and clarify wording.

(1) Effective for annual periods beginning on or after July 1, 2009
(2) Effective for annual periods beginning on or after June 30, 2009
* Improvements to IFRSs contains amendments to IFRS 5, IAS38, IFRS 2, IFRIC Int 9, IFRIC Int 16 (all effective for annual periods beginning on or after July 1, 2009) and IAS 1, IAS 7, IAS 17, IAS 36, IAS39, IFRS 5 and IFRS 8 (all effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2010).

The Group is in the process of assessing the impact of these new and revised IFRSs upon initial application. So far, it has concluded that these new and revised IFRSs are unlikely to have a significant impact on the Group's results of operations and financial position upon adoption.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENT AND ESTIMATES

In the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies, management has made estimates and assumptions in determining certain amounts recognized in the financial statements, some of the estimates and assumptions are based on expected outcome of future events. These estimates may not necessarily be indicative of the actual outcome. The significant estimates and assumptions are discussed below.

Accounting treatment of preferred shares

The Group recognized a financial liability during the year ended December 31, 2008 in respect of the obligation to repay the GS Investor (as defined in Note 22) pursuant to a redemption option granted to the GS Investor. The Group’s management has assessed the terms of the Subscription Agreement and the Share Purchase Agreement (as defined in Note 22) and the related facts and circumstance, and concluded that the funds contributed by the GS Investor should be classified as a financial liability. The financial liability was

recognized initially at fair value plus transaction costs that are directly attributable to the financial liability. After initial recognition, the financial liability is measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.

Useful lives of property, plant and equipment

The Group determines the estimated useful lives and related depreciation charges for its property, plant and equipment based on the historical experience of the actual useful lives of property, plant and equipment of similar nature and functions. Management will revise the depreciation period where actual useful lives are different from those previously estimated, it will write off or write down the value of obsolete or non-strategic assets that have been abandoned.

Net realizable value of inventories

Net realizable value of inventories is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less estimated selling expenses. The net realizable value is estimated based on the current market conditions and historical experience of selling merchandise of similar nature. The estimates can change significantly as a result of changes in customer taste or competitor actions. The Group reassesses these estimates at each balance sheet date.

Impairment allowances for trade and other receivables

The Group estimates the impairment allowances for trade and other receivables by assessing the collectability of the receivables based on the related customers’ credit history and prevailing market conditions. Allowances are applied to trade and other receivables where events or changes in circumstances indicate that the balances may not be collectible. Where the expectation is different from the initial estimate, the difference is recognized as an impairment loss in the period in which such estimate is changed. The Group reassesses the impairment allowances at each balance sheet date.

Historically, the Group has no experience of bad debts. All the customers who wish to trade on credit terms are subject to credit verification procedures. In addition, receivable balances are monitored on an ongoing basis and the Group has the sole discretion to cease business with customers who fail to pay within the credit period. Despite the recent fluctuations in the economic environment since the second half of 2008, we have closely monitored the trade receivables balance overdue 30 days and assessed the intention of the repayment from the distributors.

We will not make any provision of the overdue balance if (1) we have continuous trading with the distributor; (2) we receive continuous repayment from the distributor; and (3) we have no dispute on the overdue balance with the distributor.

The Group will make full provision on such balances if they are considered not recoverable by the Group.

Up to July 2009, all the distributors were able to settle all trade receivable balance on time and no balance was past due, there is no indication of deterioration in the creditworthiness of the Group’s distributor.

4. SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Group is principally engaged in the manufacture and sale of sportswear, including footwear, apparel and accessories. All of the Group’s products are of a similar nature and subject to similar risks and returns. Accordingly, the Group’s operating activities are attributable to a single business segment. The Group considers that the major product lines (being footwear, apparel and accessories) can be combined as a single business segment as they exhibit similar long term financial performance and they are similar in terms of

10. TAX

No tax provision for Hong Kong profits has been made as the Group did not generate any assessable profits arising in Hong Kong during the Relevant Periods. Taxes on profits assessable in the PRC have been calculated at the prevailing rates, based on existing legislation, interpretations and practices in respect thereof.

Current tax – Mainland China Charge for the period     85       578       582       2,181       21,783       9,974  

According to the Income Tax Law of the PRC for Foreign Investment Enterprises and Foreign Enterprises and as approved by relevant PRC tax authorities, XDLong Fujian, a foreign-invested enterprise, was exempted from the PRC corporate income tax for its first two profitable years, commencing from January 1, 2003, and thereafter is entitled to a 50% reduction in the PRC corporate income tax for the subsequent three years from January 1, 2005 to December 31, 2007. The applicable tax rate for XDLong Fujian is 27% from the date of incorporation to December 31, 2007.

XDLong China, a foreign-invested enterprise, was also exempted from the PRC corporate income tax for its first two profitable years, commencing from January 1, 2008, and thereafter is entitled to a 50% reduction in the PRC corporate income tax for the subsequent three years from January 1, 2010 to December 31, 2012. No provision for the PRC corporate income tax has been made for XDLong China in 2006 and 2007 as it has not yet generated any assessable profits.

Under the new PRC Corporate Income Tax Law (the ''New Corporate Income Tax Law'') and its Implementation Rules (effective on January 1, 2008), the PRC corporate income tax rate for domestic-invested and foreign-invested enterprises is unified to 25%. Also, a foreign-invested enterprise established before the New Corporate Income Tax Law was promulgated is entitled to foreign-invested enterprise income tax holiday and can continue to enjoy the existing tax holiday until its expiration subject to a 5-year period restriction. Consequently, XDLong China can continue to enjoy its tax holiday, commencing from its first profitable year but expiring within 5 years from January 1, 2008. With effect from January 1, 2008, the applicable tax rate for XDLong Fujian and XDLong China is 25%.

       1,197       8,186       8,186       8,186       8,186       1,459  

No deferred tax asset has been recognised in respect of tax losses due to unpredictability of future profit streams and the fact that utilization of these losses is subject to approval by the tax authority in the PRC.

There is no difference between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit, and there is no taxable difference arising on investments in subsidiaries. Accordingly, there is no deferred tax liability at the balance sheet dates.

The Group's prepayment of land use rights premiums is for medium term land located in Mainland China.

As of June 30 2009 and 2008, and December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, land use rights with carrying amount of approximately RMB30,157,000 (unaudited), and RMB 12,048,000 (unaudited), RMB11,924,000, RMB5,830,000 and RMB5,952,000, respectively, were pledged to secure general banking facilities granted to the Group (Note 20).

XDLong China owned and occupied a parcel of land with an aggregate site area of approximately 38,784 square meters together with buildings on such land. The buildings consist of the Group’s production facility, a research and development center, an office facility, staff quarters, and recreation center and sports facility, with an aggregate gross floor area of approximately 99,024 square meters. The Group has obtained the land use rights certificate in relation to the land and the property ownership certificates for the buildings. The land use rights were granted for industrial use for a term of 50 years from December 25, 2006.

XDLong Fujian owns a parcel of land located within the Group’s production complex in Jinjiang which has an aggregate site area of approximately 15,277 square meters. Pursuant to the State-owned Land Use Right Transfer Contract, construction on this land was required to commence by February 28, 2006. However, XDLong Fujian did not commence construction by such date because the Group decided to construct its production facilities on another larger parcel of land owned by XDLong China. Currently, the Group has plans to construct additional production facilities on the XDLong Fujian parcel of land. XDLong Fujian is applying to relevant local government agency for postponing construction on the land. However, there is a risk that the local government may repossess the land before XDLong Fujian obtains an approval to postpone construction. On May 14, 2008, XDLong Fujian applied to the relevant local government agency for the approval to postpone construction on the land. The local government agency has verbally confirmed that the local government

does not intend to repossess the parcel of land held for use by XDLong Fujian, or otherwise cancel the underlying contract. Management of the Group has concluded that the possibility of incurring an impairment in value or loss of land use is remote. Management based its conclusion on the fact that the local government has been advised that the Group intends to commence construction on the parcel of land and that local government officials have provided verbal assurances that they do not intend to take punitive action for the Group’s failure to commence construction. Consistent with the objectives of the local government, the construction of the additional production facilities in the Jinjiang area will inject capital into the local economy and result in an expansion of the Group’s local workforce. The carrying amounts of this piece of land were RMB5,645,000 (unaudited), RMB5,768,000 (unaudited), RMB 5,707,000, RMB 5,829,000 and RMB5,952,000 respectively as of June 30, 2009 and 2008, and December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Receivables that were past due but not impaired relate to a number of independent customers that have a good repayment record with the Group. Based on past experience, the directors of the Company are of the opinion that no impairment allowance is necessary in respect of these balances as there has not been a significant change in credit quality and the balances are still considered fully recoverable. The Group does not hold any collateral or other credit enhancements over these balances.

The carrying amounts of trade receivables approximate their fair values.

Other payables and value added tax payables are non-interest-bearing and have an average term of three months.

Deposits received primarily relate to deposits made by distributors in accordance with the distributorship agreements. Each distributor must pay the Group a fixed sum of RMB500,000 as security for the performance of their obligations under the distributorship agreement. The Group has the right not to refund the deposit to the distributors if they do not comply with the terms stipulated in the distributorship agreements. The Group will refund the deposit to a distributor upon the expiration of the distributorship agreement should either party decides not to renew the agreement. During the term of the distribution agreement, the Group has the right to terminate the distribution agreement, at its sole discretion and at anytime, if the distributions cannot meet certain sales target and payment requirements. Accordingly, management considers it more appropriate to classify the deposits from our distributors as a current liability.

On March 28, 2008, Mr. Lin Shuipan, RichWise International Investment Group Limited (“RichWise”), Mr. Shi Jinlei (the sole beneficial owner of RichWise), the Company and GS Investor entered into a share purchase agreement (the “SPA”) under which Mr. Lin Shuipan and RichWise agreed to transfer 2,000 and 3,500 preferred shares (the “sale shares”) representing 2.0% and 3.5%, respectively, of the issued share capital of the Company as enlarged by the Subscription by GS Investor. The consideration for the acquisition of the sale shares under the SPA amounting to HK$210.56 million (equivalent to RMB189,504,000), was made to Mr. Lin Shuipan and Richwise. Therefore, the amount was treated as a form of distribution to Mr. Lin Shuipan and Richwise and was charged to the stockholders’ equity by debiting “other reserve” account.

On May 8, 2009, a letter agreement was signed in which all of the outstanding preferred shares of the Company will be redeemed simultaneously with the Acquisition (as defined in Note 22). The details of the letter agreement is disclosed in Note 23.

Pursuant to the SPA, Mr. Lin Shuipan and RichWise (collectively, the “Sellers”) but not the Company granted GS Investor certain rights for the adjustment of the total consideration and/or consideration per share upon the occurrence of certain adjustment events.

Pursuant to the Subscription Agreement and SPA, the preferred shares:

(i) are convertible at the option of GS Investor into the ordinary shares of the Company on an one-to-one basis (the “Conversion Ratio”), subject to the adjustment under the anti-dilution clause.
(ii) will be converted automatically into ordinary shares of the Company at the Conversion Ratio immediately upon the completion of the global offering of the Group; and
(iii) are redeemable at the option of the GS Investor if one of the following events occurs:
(1) any event has occurred giving rise to a right to terminate the Subscription Agreement and SPA; or
(2) the Company does not complete a public offering satisfying certain conditions in relation to the venue of listing, market capitalization of at least US$650 million or a deemed satisfaction with the market capitalization requirement by GS Investor and the percentage of public float prior to December 31, 2009.

GS Investor shall have the right to require the Company to redeem any part or all of the preferred shares in cash for an amount equal to the consideration as stated in the Subscription Agreement. In addition, pursuant to the SPA, upon the redemption of the preferred shares, the Sellers will make a payment to GS Investor in respect of the sum of the issue price for each preferred share, plus 12% of internal rate of return (“IRR”) from the initial issuance date until redemption date of the preferred shares.

22. PREFERRED SHARES  – (continued)

As the issuance currency of the preferred shares (HK$) is not the same as the functional currency of the Group (RMB), the ‘fixed for fixed’ requirement is violated, the fixed amount of the issuance currency of the preferred shares is distinguished and the conversion option for the classification of derivative component as equity is precluded. The preferred shares are classified as financial liability under IAS 32 and are subject to IAS 39 for recognition and measurement.

Although it may be within the Company’s control to determine whether the IPO should be attempted, market and regulatory forces will determine whether the attempt will be successful. These forces are beyond the control of the Company, therefore the redemption upon IPO event not occurring meets the definition of a contingent settlement event in accordance with paragraph 25 of IAS32 paragraph 25 and results in the PS being classified as a financial liability from inception.

The 12% IRR represents the market interest rate or covers the market interest rate. The carrying value of the preferred shares of RMB272,432,000 represents the fair value of the financial liability at the insurance date, at December 31, 2008 and subsequent periods, adjusted only for foreign exchange rate changes.

Per the Subscription Agreement and the SPA executed by the Company, the GS Investor and the Sellers, upon redemption of the preferred share, the Sellers will make a payment to the GS Investor at 12% IRR on the preferred shares. Accordingly, the payment of the interest by the Sellers, who are also stockholders of the Company, will be treated as a form of capital contribution. The monthly interest accrual of the 12% IRR is credited to other payable. During the year ended December 31, 2008, interest of RMB21,795,000 has been credited to other payable.

Details of the net proceeds received from the issue of the preferred shares are analyzed as follows:

   
Preferred Shares   US$’000   RMB’000

Pursuant to the letter agreement dated May 8, 2009, all of the outstanding preferred shares of the Company will be redeemed simultaneously with the Acquisition (as defined below). As consideration for the redemption of the preferred shares, the sole preferred shareholder, Elevatech, will receive a promissory note from the Company providing for (i) the payment of HK$306.2 million (RMB272.5 million) on the earlier of the fifth business day following the date of issue of the promissory note and October 31, 2009 and (ii) an additional payment of US$1.0 (RMB 6.9 million) million on June 30, 2010. Following the issuance of the promissory note, the original terms of the preferred shares will be superseded by the terms of the promissory note, and the Company’s due payment thereunder will represent a full settlement of its obligations under the preferred shares. However, if the Company defaults on its payment obligations under the promissory note, Elevatech will have the option to convert the overdue amount into preference shares with the same terms as the preferred shares. Further, if the Acquisition is consummated on or prior to October 31, 2009,any preferred shares or preference shares issued and outstanding following the consummation of the Acquisition will be immediately redeemable under their original terms at the option of Elevatech. Finally, if the Acquisition is not consummated by October 31, 2009, the letter agreement will have no further effect, and the preferred shares will remain outstanding under their original terms.

In addition, Mr. Lin Shuipan and RichWise agreed to enter into a guarantee in respect of the obligations of the Company to pay US$1.0 million (RMB 6.9 million) and any interest at a rate of 8.25% per annum on the overdue principal amount under the promissory note issued by the Company to the GS Investor. However, any obligation to pay under the guarantee only covers the portion of the amounts the Company has defaulted. Moreover, any obligation to pay the unpaid portion of the US$1.0 million (RMB 6.9 million) under the guarantee will be several and not joint and will be allocated between Mr. Lin Shuipan and RichWise at the ratio of 0.5625 to 0.4375. Further any obligation to pay the unpaid interest under the guarantee will be limited to Mr. Lin Shuipan only. RichWise will not be obligated to pay the unpaid interest under the guarantee.

On May 8, 2009, the Company, all the original ordinary shareholders (the “Original Shareholders”), 2020 Chinacap Acquirco, Inc. (“2020”) and Exceed Company Ltd. (“Exceed”) (a wholly-owned subsidiary of 2020 which was established under the laws of the British Virgin Islands) entered into the sales and purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) in which Exceed will acquire all of the issued ordinary shares in the Company from the Original Shareholders (“Acquisition”) in consideration of Exceed issuing and allotting an aggregate of 17,008,633 new ordinary shares (“Additional Shares”) to the Original Shareholders and/or their respective nominee(s).

the Years Ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006

29. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS BY CATEGORY

Financial assets

All the Group's financial assets as of June 30, 2009 and 2008 (unaudited) and December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, including trade receivables, deposits and other receivables, pledged bank deposits and cash and bank balances, are categorized as loans and receivables.

Financial liabilities

All the Group's financial liabilities as of June 30, 2009 and 2008 (unaudited) and December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, including trade and bills payables, other payables, interest-bearing bank borrowings, amount due to a director and tax payable, are categorized as financial liabilities at amortized cost.

30. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES

The Group's principal financial instruments comprise bank borrowings and cash and bank balances. The main purpose of these financial instruments is to fund the Group's operations. The Group has various financial assets and liabilities such as trade receivables and trade and bills payables, which arise directly from its operations.

It is, and has been, throughout the Relevant Periods, the Group's policy that no trading in financial instruments shall be undertaken.

The main risks arising from the Group's financial instruments are foreign currency risk, credit risk, interest rate risk, commodity price risk and liquidity risk. The board of directors reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks and they are summarized below:

Foreign currency risk

The Group mainly operates in Mainland China with most of the transactions settled in RMB. The Group's assets and liabilities, and transactions arising from its operations are mainly denominated in RMB. The Group has not used any forward contract or currency borrowing to hedge its exposure as foreign currency risk is considered minimal.

Credit risk

The Group trades only with recognized and creditworthy customers. It is the Group's policy that all customers who wish to trade on credit terms are subject to credit verification procedures. In addition, receivable balances are monitored on an ongoing basis and the Group's exposure to bad debts is not significant.

Since the Group trades only with recognized and creditworthy third parties, there is no requirement for collateral.

The credit risk of the Group's other financial assets, which comprise deposits, other receivables, pledged bank deposits and cash and bank balances, arises from potential default of the counterparties, with a maximum exposure equal to the carrying amounts of these instruments.

The Group’s exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer. The default risk of the overall industry in which customers operate also has an influence on credit risk but to a lesser extent. At the balance sheet date, the Group is exposed to certain credit risks as 43.45% (June 30, 2008: 48.05%; December 31, 2008: 41.55%; December 31, 2007: 41.77%; December 31, 2006: 33.94%) of the total trade and other receivables were due from the Group’s five largest customers.

The maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by the carrying amount of each financial asset. The Group does not provide any guarantees which would expose the Group or the Company to credit risk.

30. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES  – (continued)

Further quantitative disclosures in respect of the Group’s exposure to credit risk arising from trade receivables are set out in Note 15.

Interest rate risk

The Group does not have any significant exposure to risk of changes in market interest rates as the Group's debt obligations were all with fixed interest rates.

Commodity price risk

The major raw materials used in the production of the Group's products included rubber and plastics. The Group is exposed to fluctuation in the prices of these raw materials which are influenced by global as well as regional supply and demand conditions. Fluctuations in the prices of raw materials could adversely affect the Group's financial performance. The Group historically has not entered into any commodity derivative instruments to hedge the potential commodity price changes.

Liquidity risk

The Group monitors risk of a shortage of funds by considering the maturity of both its financial assets and projected cash flows from operations. The Group's objective is to maintain a balance between continuity of funding and flexibility through use of bank borrowings and other borrowings to meet its working capital requirements.

The table below summarizes the maturity profile of the Group’s financial liabilities as of June 30, 2009 and 2008 (unaudited) and December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006 based on contractual undiscounted cash flow.

In rendering this opinion, we have assumed with your approval the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of all natural persons, the legal authority of all entities, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as copies, and the completeness and accuracy of the documents reviewed by us.

This opinion is based upon the existing provisions of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, published United States Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) revenue rulings and revenue procedures, and judicial decisions in effect on the date hereof. Any such authority is subject to change, and any change may be retroactive in effect and may affect our opinion as set forth herein. Our opinion is based on the facts and assumptions set forth in the Registration Statement and this opinion. If any of the facts or assumptions is not true, correct or complete, our opinion may not be applicable. We undertake no responsibility to update this opinion or to advise you of any developments or changes as a result of a change in legal authority, fact, assumption or document, or any inaccuracy in any fact, representation or assumption, upon which this opinion is based, or otherwise.

This opinion is issued in connection with the Registration Statement, and may not be relied on for any other purpose without our prior written consent.

This Clause shall survive the resignation or removal of the Escrow Agent or the termination of this Agreement.
5.9 The Escrow Agent may take and instruct any delegate to take any action which it in its sole discretion considers appropriate so as to comply with any applicable law, regulation, request of a public or regulatory authority which relates to the prevention of fraud, money laundering, terrorism or other criminal activities or the provision of financial and other services to sanctioned persons or entities. In certain circumstances, such action may delay or prevent the processing of any instructions or the Escrow Agent’s performance of its obligations under this Agreement.

The Escrow Agent shall not be obligated to take any action including any legal or other proceedings hereunder which might, in its sole judgement, involve any expense or liability of any kind unless it shall have been furnished with a full indemnity therefor which is satisfactory to the Escrow Agent in it’s sole opinion. The Parties acknowledge that the foregoing indemnities shall survive the resignation or removal of the Escrow Agent or the termination of this Agreement.
5.11  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Escrow Agent shall not in any event be liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement if it is prevented from so performing its obligations by any existing or future law, order or regulation of a governmental, supranational or regulatory body, regulation of the banking or securities industry, any existing or future act of governmental authority, Act of God, flood, war (whether declared or undeclared), terrorism, riot, rebellion, civil commotion, strike, lockout, other industrial action, general failure of electricity or other supply, aircraft collision, technical failure, accidental or mechanical or electrical breakdown, computer failure or failure of any telecommunication or money transmission system or any reason which is beyond the control of the Escrow Agent.

9.1 In the event of any inconsistency or conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and any other agreement or contract among the Sellers and the Purchaser, this Agreement shall, as among the Escrow Agent, the Sellers and the Purchaser, prevail.
9.2 In the event of any ambiguity or uncertainty under this Agreement or in any notice, instruction or other communication received by the Escrow Agent under this Agreement, the Escrow Agent may, in its sole discretion, refrain from taking any action other than to retain possession of all property held in escrow, unless the Escrow Agent receives written instructions, signed by all the Sellers and the Purchaser, which eliminates such ambiguity or uncertainty.
9.3 In the event of any dispute or conflicting claims between the Sellers and the Purchaser and any other person or entity with respect to any property held in escrow, the Escrow Agent shall be entitled, in its sole discretion, to refuse to comply with any and all claims, demands or instructions with respect to such property held in escrow so long as such dispute or conflict shall continue, and the Escrow Agent shall not be or become liable in any way to the Sellers and the Purchaser or any other person or entity for failure or refusal to comply with such disputed or conflicting claims, demands or instructions. The Escrow Agent shall be entitled to refuse to act until, in its sole discretion, either (i) such conflicting or disputed claims or demands shall have been determined by a final order, judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction, which order, judgment or decree is not subject to appeal, or settled by agreement between the conflicting parties as evidenced in writing that is satisfactory to the Escrow Agent or (ii) the Escrow Agent shall have received security or indemnity satisfactory to it sufficient to hold it harmless from and against any and all losses which it may incur by reason of so acting.

10.3 Subject to Clauses 3, 9 and 10.2, if there shall remain any Share Certificates upon termination of this Agreement, the Escrow Agent shall apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for direction and release such Share Certificates in accordance with the direction of a final court order.

In particular fees and expenses will be calculated up to the date on which the Escrow Agent no longer holds any Share Certificates. All remedies under this Agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

1 Share Certificates
1.1 Every person whose name is entered as a member in the share register, being the holder of registered shares, shall without payment be entitled to a share certificate in the following circumstances:
(a) on the issuance of such shares to such member;
(b) on the transfer of such shares to such member;
(c) on a re-designation or conversion of such shares with the effect that the certificate previously issued no longer properly describes such shares; and
(d) at the discretion of the directors (who may levy a reasonable charge), on notice to the Company of a change of name of the member.
1.2 Such certificate shall be signed by a director or under the common seal of the Company (which the registered agent of the Company is authorised to affix to such certificate) with or without the signature of any director or officer of the Company specifying the share or shares held and the par value thereof (if the Company is authorised at the relevant time to issue shares with a par value), provided that in respect of shares held jointly by several persons, the Company shall not be bound to issue more than one certificate and delivery of a certificate for a share to one of several joint holders shall be sufficient delivery to all.
1.3 If a certificate is worn out or lost it may, subject to the prior written consent of any mortgagee or chargee whose interest has been noted on the register of members, be renewed on production of the worn out certificate, or on satisfactory proof of its loss together with such indemnity as the directors may reasonably require. Any member receiving a share certificate shall indemnify and hold the Company and its officers harmless from any loss or liability which it or they may incur by reason of wrongful or fraudulent use or representation made by any person by virtue of the possession of such a certificate.
2 Issue of Shares
2.1 Subject to the provisions of these Articles, the unissued shares of the Company (whether forming part of the original or any increased authorised shares) shall be at the disposal of the directors who may offer, allot, grant options over or otherwise dispose of them to such persons at such times and for such consideration, being not less than the par value (if any) of the shares being disposed of, and upon such terms and conditions as the directors may determine. Such consideration may take any form acceptable to the directors, including money, a promissory note, or other written obligation to contribute money or property, real property, personal property (including goodwill and know-how), services rendered or a contract for future services. Before issuing shares for a consideration other than money, the directors shall pass a Resolution of Directors stating:
(a) the amount to be credited for the issue of the shares;
(b) their determination of the reasonable present cash value of the non-money consideration for the issue; and

F-6


 
 

TABLE OF CONTENTS

(c) that, in their opinion, the present cash value of the non-money consideration for the issue is not less than the amount to be credited for the issue of the shares.
2.2 Subject to the provisions of the Act in this regard, shares may be issued on the terms that they are redeemable, or at the option of the Company be liable to be redeemed on such terms and in such manner as the directors before or at the time of the issue of such shares may determine. At any time after the consummation of a Business Combination (as defined in these Articles), the directors may issue options, warrants or convertible securities or securities of similar nature conferring the right upon the holders thereof to subscribe for, purchase or receive any class of shares or securities in the Company on such terms as it may from time to time determine. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the directors may issue options, warrants or convertible securities in connection with the Company’s initial public offering.
2.3 The Company may issue bonus shares, partly paid shares and nil paid shares.
2.4 The directors may redeem any share issued by the Company at a premium.
2.5 Except as otherwise expressly provided in the resolution or resolutions providing for the establishment of any class or series of preferred shares, no vote of the holders of preferred shares or of the holders of ordinary shares shall be a prerequisite to the issuance of any shares of any class or series of the preferred shares authorized by and complying with the conditions in the Memorandum or these Articles.
2.6 Except as required by the Act, and notwithstanding that a share certificate may refer to a member holding shares “as trustee” or similar expression, no person shall be recognised by the Company as holding any share upon any trust, and the Company shall not be bound by or be compelled in any way to recognise (even when having notice thereof) any equitable, contingent, future or partial interest in any share or any interest in any fractional part of a share or (except as provided by these Articles or by the Act) any other rights in respect of any share except any absolute right to the entirety thereof by the registered holder.
3 Forfeiture of Shares
3.1 The Company may, at any time after the due date for payment, serve on a member who has not paid in full for shares registered in the name of that member, a written notice of call (“Notice of Call”) specifying a date for payment to be made. The Notice of Call shall name a further date not earlier than the expiration of 14 days from the date of service of the Notice of Call on or before which the payment required by the Notice of Call is to be made and shall contain a statement that in the event of non-payment at or before the time named in the Notice of Call the shares, or any of them, in respect of which payment is not made will be liable to be forfeited.
3.2 Where a written Notice of Call has been issued under the foregoing Article and the requirements of the Notice of Call have not been complied with, the directors may, at any time before tender of payment, forfeit and cancel the shares to which the Notice of Call relates. The Company is under no obligation to refund any moneys to the member whose shares have been cancelled pursuant to this Article and that member shall be discharged from any further obligation to the Company.
4 Transfer of Shares
4.1 Shares in the Company shall be transferred by a written instrument of transfer signed by the transferor and containing the name and address of the transferee. The instrument of transfer shall also be signed by the transferee if registration as a holder of the shares imposes a liability to the Company on the transferee. The instrument of transfer of a registered share shall be sent to the Company for registration.
4.2 Subject to the Memorandum of Association, these Articles and to section 54(5) of the Act, the Company shall, on receipt of an instrument of transfer, enter the name of the transferee of the share in the register of members unless the directors resolve to refuse or delay the registration of the

F-7


 
 

TABLE OF CONTENTS

transfer for reasons that shall be specified in the resolution. Where the directors pass such a resolution, the Company shall send to the transferor and the transferee a notice of the refusal or delay. Notwithstanding anything contained in the Memorandum or Articles, the directors shall not decline to register any transfer of shares, nor may they suspend registration thereof where such transfer is:
(a) to any mortgagee or chargee whose interest has been noted on the register of members;
(b) by any such mortgagee or chargee, pursuant to the power of sale under its security; or
(c) by any such mortgagee or chargee in accordance with the terms of the relevant security document.
4.3 The transfer of a registered share is effective when the name of the transferee is entered in the register of members.
5 Mortgages of Shares and Charges over Shares
5.1 Members may mortgage or create a charge or other form of security over their shares.
5.2 The directors shall, at the written request of a member who has mortgaged or created a charge over his shares, enter in the register of members of the Company:
(a) a statement that such shares are mortgaged or charged;
(b) the name of the mortgagee or chargee (where such information has been stated by the member); and
(c) the date on which the statement and name are entered in the register of members.
6 Transmission of Shares
6.1 Subject to sections 52(2) and 53 of the Act, the executor or administrator of a deceased member, the guardian of an incompetent member or the trustee of a bankrupt member shall be the only person recognised by the Company as having any title to his share, save that and only in the event of death, incompetence or bankruptcy of any member or members of the Company as a consequence of which the Company no longer has any directors or members, then upon the production of any documentation which is reasonable evidence of the applicant being entitled to:
(a) a grant of probate of the deceased’s will, or grant of letters of administration of the deceased’s estate, or confirmation of the appointment as executor or administrator (as the case may be, or analogous position in the relevant jurisdiction), of a deceased member’s estate;
(b) the appointment of a guardian (or analogous position in the relevant jurisdiction) of an incompetent member;
(c) the appointment as trustee (or analogous position in the relevant jurisdiction) of a bankrupt member; or
(d) upon production of any other reasonable evidence of the applicant’s beneficial ownership of, or entitlement to the shares,

to the Company’s registered agent in the British Virgin Islands together with (if so requested by the registered agent) a notarised copy of the share certificate(s) of the deceased, incompetent or bankrupt member, an indemnity in favour of the registered agent and/or appropriate legal advice in respect of any document issued by a foreign court, then the administrator, executor, guardian or trustee in bankruptcy (as the case may be) notwithstanding that their name has not been entered in the share register of the Company, may by written resolution of the applicant, endorsed with written approval by the registered agent, be appointed a director of the Company and/or entered in the share register as the legal and/or beneficial owner of the shares.

F-8


 
 

TABLE OF CONTENTS

6.2 Without limiting the foregoing, the production to the Company of any document which is reasonable evidence of:
(a) a grant of probate of the will, or grant of letters of administration of the estate, or confirmation of the appointment as executor (or analogous position in the relevant jurisdiction), of a deceased member;
(b) the appointment of a guardian (or analogous position in the relevant jurisdiction) of an incompetent member;
(c) the trustee (or analogous position in the relevant jurisdiction) of a bankrupt member; or
(d) the applicant’s legal and/or beneficial ownership of the shares,

shall be accepted by the Company even if the deceased, incompetent member or bankrupt member is resident and/or domiciled outside the British Virgin Islands if the document is issued by a foreign court which had competent jurisdiction in the matter. For the purposes of establishing whether or not a foreign court had competent jurisdiction in such a matter the directors may obtain appropriate legal advice. The directors may also require an indemnity to be given by the executor, administrator, guardian, trustee in bankruptcy or the applicant.

6.3 Any person becoming entitled by operation of law or otherwise to a share or shares in consequence of the death, incompetence or bankruptcy of any member may be registered as a member upon such evidence being produced as may reasonably be required by the directors. An application by any such person to be registered as a member shall for all purposes be deemed to be a transfer of shares of the deceased, incompetent or bankrupt member and the directors shall treat it as such.
6.4 Any person who has become entitled to a share or shares in consequence of the death, incompetence or bankruptcy of any member may, instead of being registered himself, request in writing that some person to be named by him be registered as the transferee of such share or shares and such request shall likewise be treated as if it were a transfer.
6.5 What amounts to incompetence on the part of a person is a matter to be determined by the court having regard to all the relevant evidence and the circumstances of the case.
7 Acquisition of Own Shares
7.1 Subject to Article 27 of these Articles, the directors may, on behalf of the Company, purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire any of the Company’s own shares for such consideration as the directors consider fit, and either cancel or hold such shares as treasury shares. Shares may be purchased or otherwise acquired in exchange for newly issued shares in the Company.
7.2 The directors shall not, unless permitted pursuant to the Act, purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire any of the Company’s own shares unless immediately after such purchase, redemption or other acquisition:
(a) the value of the Company’s assets exceeds it liabilities; and
(b) the Company is able to pay its debts as they fall due.
7.3 Sections 60 and 61 of the Act shall not apply to the Company.
8 Treasury Shares
8.1 Shares may only be held as treasury shares by the Company to the extent that the number of treasury shares does not exceed 50% of the shares of that class previously issued by the Company, excluding shares that have been cancelled.
8.2 The directors may dispose of any shares held as treasury shares on such terms and conditions as they may from time to time determine.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

9 Notice of Meetings of Members
9.1 The directors may convene meetings of the members of the Company at such times and in such manner and places (within or outside the British Virgin Islands) as the directors consider necessary or desirable, and they shall convene such a meeting upon the written request of members entitled to exercise at least thirty (30) percent of the voting rights in respect of the matter for which the meeting is requested. Meetings of members shall take place at least annually (the “Annual Meeting”).
9.2 Not less than seven (7) days’ notice specifying at least the place, the day and the hour of the meeting and general nature of the business to be conducted shall be given in the manner hereinafter mentioned to such persons whose names on the date the notice is given appear as members in the share register of the Company and are entitled to vote at the meeting. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a meeting of members held in contravention of the requirement to give notice is valid if members holding a ninety (90) percent majority of:
(a) the total voting rights on all the matters to be considered at the meeting; or
(b) the votes of each class or series of shares where members are entitled to vote thereon as a class or series together with an absolute majority of the remaining votes,

have waived notice of the meeting and, for this purpose, the presence of a member at the meeting shall be deemed to constitute waiver on his part (unless such member objects in writing before or at the meeting).

9.3 The inadvertent failure of the directors to give notice of a meeting to a member or the fact that a member has not received a notice that has been properly given, shall not invalidate the meeting.
10 Proceedings at Meetings of Members
10.1 No business shall be transacted at any meeting of members unless a quorum of members is present at the time when the meeting proceeds to business. A quorum shall consist of the holder or holders present in person or by proxy entitled to exercise at least fifty (50) percent of the voting rights of the shares of each class or series of shares entitled to vote as a class or series thereon and the same proportion of the votes of the remaining shares entitled to vote thereon.
10.2 A member of the Company shall be deemed to be present at a meeting of members if:
(a) he or his proxy participates by telephone or other electronic means; and
(b) all members and proxies participating in the meeting are able to hear each other.
10.3 If, within half an hour from the time appointed for the meeting, a quorum is not present, the meeting shall be dissolved.
10.4 A member may attend a meeting of members personally or be represented by a proxy who may speak and vote on behalf of the member.
10.5 The instrument appointing a proxy shall be produced at the place appointed for the meeting before the time for holding the meeting at which the person named in such instrument proposes to vote. An instrument appointing a proxy shall be in such form as the Chairman of the meeting shall accept as properly evidencing the wishes of the member appointing the proxy, but must be in writing under the hand of the appointer unless the appointer is a corporation or other form of legal entity (other than one or more individuals holding as joint owner) in which case the instrument appointing a proxy shall be in writing under the hand of an individual duly authorised by such corporation or legal entity to execute the same.
10.6 At every meeting the members present shall choose someone of their number to be the chairman (the “Chairman”). If the members are unable to choose a Chairman for any reason, then the person representing the greatest number of voting shares present at the meeting shall preside as Chairman.

F-10


 
 

TABLE OF CONTENTS

10.7 The Chairman may, with the consent of the meeting, adjourn any 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.

10.10 If a poll is duly demanded it shall be taken in such manner as the Chairman directs, and the result of the poll shall be deemed to be the resolution of the meeting at which the poll was demanded. The demand for a poll may be withdrawn, at the discretion of the Chairman.

13 Appointment and Removal of Directors
13.1 The first director or directors shall be appointed by the registered agent of the Company. Thereafter, the directors shall be appointed as follows:
(a) subject to the provisions of Article 27, any existing director(s) shall be designated as a Class C Director for a term expiring at the Company’s third Annual Meeting of Members. The Class C director shall then appoint additional Class A, Class B and Class C directors, as necessary. The directors in Class A shall be elected for a term expiring at the first Annual Meeting of Members, the directors in Class B shall be elected for a term expiring at the second Annual Meeting of Members and the directors in Class C shall be elected for a term expiring at the third Annual Meeting of Members. Commencing at the first Annual Meeting of Members, and at each annual meeting thereafter, directors elected to succeed those directors whose terms expire shall be elected for a term of office to expire at the third succeeding annual meeting of members after their election. Except as the Act may otherwise require, in the interim between annual meetings of members or special meetings of members called for the election of directors and/or the removal of one or more directors and the filling of any vacancy in that connection, newly created directorships and any vacancies in the board of directors, including unfilled vacancies resulting from the removal of directors for cause, may be filled by the vote of a majority of the remaining directors then in office, although less than a quorum, or by the sole remaining director;
(b) all directors shall hold office until the expiration of their respective terms of office and until their successors shall have been elected and qualified. A director elected to fill a vacancy resulting from the death, resignation or removal of a director shall serve for the remainder of the full term of the director whose death, resignation or removal shall have created such vacancy and until his successor shall have been elected and qualified; and
(c) following the consummation of a Business Combination the provisions contained in Article 13.1(a) and (b) above shall terminate and the directors shall be appointed and removed by resolution of directors or resolution of members for such terms as the directors or members may so determine. Sections 114(2) and 114(3) of the Act shall not apply to the Company.
13.2 Except as the Act may otherwise require, newly created directorships and any vacancies in the board of directors, including unfilled vacancies resulting from the removal of directors for cause, may be filled by the vote of a majority of the remaining directors then in office, although less than a quorum (as defined in these Articles), or by the sole remaining director.
13.3 A director elected to fill a vacancy resulting from the death, resignation or removal of a director shall serve for the remainder of the full term of the director whose death, resignation or removal shall have created such vacancy and until his successor shall have been elected and qualified.

14 Alternate and Reserve Directors
14.1 A director, by written instrument deposited at the registered office of the Company, may from time to time appoint another director or another person to be his alternate. Every such alternate shall be entitled to be given notice of meetings of the directors and to attend and vote as a director at any such meeting at which the director appointing him is not personally present (and to vote on a Written Resolution) and generally at such meeting (or in connection with such Written Resolution) to have and exercise all the powers, rights, duties and authorities of the director appointing him. Every such alternate shall be deemed to be an officer of the Company and shall not be deemed to be an agent of the director appointing him. Unless stated otherwise in the notice of the appointment of the alternate, if undue delay or difficulty would be occasioned by giving notice to a director of a resolution of which his approval is sought in accordance with these Articles his alternate (if any) shall be entitled to signify approval of the same on behalf of that director. The remuneration of an alternate shall be payable out of the remuneration payable to the director appointing him, as agreed between such alternate and the director appointing him. A director, by writing under his hand deposited at the registered office of the Company, may at any time vary or revoke the appointment of an alternate appointed by him. If a director shall die or cease to hold the office of director, the appointment of his alternate shall thereupon cease and terminate.
14.2 Where the Company has only one member with voting rights who is an individual and that member is also the sole director of the Company (the “sole member/director”), that sole member/director may, by instrument in writing, nominate a person who is not disqualified from being a director of the Company under section 111(1) of the Act as a reserve director of the Company to act in the place of the sole director in the event of his death. A person shall not be nominated as a reserve director unless he has consented in writing to be nominated as a reserve director. The nomination of a person as a reserve director of the Company ceases to have effect if:
(a) before the death of the sole member/director who nominated him:
(i) he resigns as reserve director, or
(ii) the sole member/director revokes the nomination in writing; or
(b) the sole member/director who nominated him ceases to be the sole member/director of the company for any reason other than his death.

15.7 A director may be or become a director or officer of, or otherwise be interested in any company promoted by the Company, or in which the Company may be interested, as a member or otherwise and no such director shall be accountable for any remuneration or other benefits received by him as director or officer or from his interest in such other company.

(b) A disclosure to the board to the effect that a director is a member, director, officer or trustee of another named company or other person and is to be regarded as interested in any transaction which may, after the date of the entry or disclosure, be entered into with that company or person, is a sufficient disclosure of interest in relation to that transaction. Such a disclosure is not made to the board unless it is made or brought to the attention of every director on the board.

A director shall be given not less than three (3) business days’ (being full business days in the place of the director’s residence) notice of a meeting of the directors, save that a meeting of directors held on less notice is valid if a majority of the directors entitled to vote at the meeting have waived the notice of the meeting; and, for this purpose, the presence of a director at the meeting shall be deemed to constitute waiver on his part (unless he objects in writing before or at the meeting).
18.3 The inadvertent failure to give notice of a meeting to a director, or the fact that a director has not received the notice, shall not invalidate the meeting.
18.4 Any director who is a body corporate may appoint any person its duly authorised representative for the purpose of representing it at meetings of the directors and of transacting any of the business of the directors.
18.5 A meeting of the directors is duly constituted for all purposes if at the commencement of the meeting there are present in person or by alternate not less than one-third of the total number of directors with a minimum of two (2).
18.6 If within half an hour from the time appointed for the meeting a quorum is not present, the meeting shall be dissolved.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

18.11 If the Company shall have only one director, the foregoing provisions for meetings of the directors shall not apply but such sole director shall have full power to represent and act for the Company in all matters and in lieu of minutes of a meeting shall record in writing and sign a note of memorandum of all matters requiring a resolution of the directors. Such note or memorandum shall constitute sufficient evidence of such resolution for all purposes.

19.1 Subject to the provisions of the Act and the subsequent provisions of this Article, the Company may indemnify against all expenses, including legal fees, and against all judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement and reasonably incurred in connection with legal, administrative or investigative proceedings any person who:

The Company shall not indemnify a person who has not so acted, and any indemnity given to such a person is void and of no effect. A director acts in the best interests of the Company if he acts in the best interests of:
(a) the Company’s holding company; or
(b) a shareholder or shareholders of the Company;

in either case, in the circumstances specified in the sub-Articles below, as the case may be:

19.3 The termination of any proceedings by any judgement, order, settlement, conviction or the entering of a nolle prosequi does not, by itself, create a presumption that the person did not act honestly and in good faith and with a view to the best interests of the Company or that the person had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.
19.4 Expenses, including legal fees, incurred by a director in defending any legal, administrative or investigative proceedings may be paid by the Company in advance of the final disposition of such proceedings upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director to repay the amount if it shall ultimately be determined that the director is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company in accordance with this Article.
19.5 Expenses, including legal fees, incurred by a former director in defending any legal, administrative or investigative proceedings may be paid by the Company in advance of the final disposition of such proceedings upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the former director to repay the amount if it shall ultimately be determined that the former director is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company in accordance with this Article and upon such other terms and conditions, if any, as the Company deems appropriate.
19.6 The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this Article is not exclusive of any other rights to which the person seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under any agreement, resolution of members, resolution of disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to acting in the person’s official capacity and as to acting in another capacity while serving as a director of the Company.
19.7 The Company may purchase and maintain insurance in relation to any person who is or was a director of the Company, or who at the request of the Company is or was serving as a director of, or in any other capacity is or was acting for, another body corporate or a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against any liability asserted against the person and incurred by the person

20.3 Notwithstanding the foregoing Article, an instrument is validly executed by the Company as a deed, or an instrument under seal, if it is either:
(a) sealed with the common seal of the Company and witnessed by a director of the Company and/or such other person who is authorised by the Memorandum or Articles to witness the application of the Company’s seal; or
(b) expressed to be, or is expressed to be executed as, or otherwise makes clear on its face that it is intended to be, a deed and it is signed by a director and/or by a person acting under the express or implied authority of the Company.
21 Distributions
21.1 Subject to the provisions of the Act, the directors of a Company may, by Resolution of Directors, authorise a distribution by the Company at a time, and of an amount, and to any members they think fit if they are satisfied, on reasonable grounds that, immediately after the distribution, the value of the Company’s assets will exceed the Company’s liabilities and the Company is able to pay its debts as they fall due.
21.2 No distribution shall be paid on those shares which are held by the Company as treasury shares at the date of declaration of the distribution.
21.3 The directors may, before recommending any distribution, set aside out of the profits of the Company such sums as they think proper as a reserve or reserves which shall, at their discretion, either be employed in the business of the Company or be invested in such investments as the directors may from time to time think fit.
21.4 If several persons are registered as joint holders of any share, any of them may give effectual receipt for any distribution or other monies payable on or in respect of the share.
21.5 Notice of any distribution that may have been declared shall be given to each member in manner hereinafter mentioned and all distributions unclaimed for three years after having been declared may be forfeited by the directors for the benefit of the Company.

27 Business Combination
27.1 This Article 27 and, for the avoidance of doubt, the provisions contained in Articles 27.1 through 27.5 and Article 13.1(a) and (b) shall terminate upon the consummation of any “Business Combination,” and may not be amended during the “Target Business Acquisition Period” without the affirmative vote of at least 95% of the holders of IPO Shares (defined below). A “Business Combination” shall mean the acquisition by the Company, whether by merger, share capital exchange, asset or share acquisition or other similar type of transaction, of an operating business or businesses having collectively a fair market value of the Company’s net assets at the time of the acquisition (provided that any acquisition of multiple operating businesses shall occur contemporaneously with one another) which (i) is located in the People’s Republic of China, the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region or the Macau Special Administrative Region (collectively, “China”); (ii) has it principal operations located in China; or (iii) in the view of the board of directors of the Company, would benefit from establishing operations in China (“Target Business”). The “Target Business Acquisition Period” shall mean the period commencing from the effectiveness of the registration statement filed in connection with the initial public offering (“IPO”) of the Company’s parent corporation, 2020 ChinaCap Aquirco, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“ChinaCap”) up to and including the first to occur of (a) a Business Combination; or (b) the Termination Date. The “Termination Date” shall mean the date that is twenty-four (24) months after the dateon which the registration statement on Form S-! filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission with respect to ChinCap’s IPO (the “Registration Statement”) becomes effective.
27.2 Prior to the consummation of any Business Combination, the Company shall submit such Business Combination to its shareholders for approval regardless of whether the Business Combination is of a type which normally would require such shareholder approval under the Act. In the event that a majority of the IPO Shares (defined below) cast at the meeting to approve the Business Combination are voted for the approval of such Business Combination, the Company shall be authorized to consummate the Business Combination; provided that the Company shall not consummate any Business Combination if the holders of 30% or more of the IPO Shares exercise their redemption rights described in Article 27.3 below.
27.3 In the event that a Business Combination is approved in accordance with the above Article 27.2 and is consummated by the Company, any shareholder of the Company holding Ordinary Shares in the IPO (“IPO Shares”) who voted against the Business Combination may, contemporaneously with such vote, demand that the Company redeem his IPO Shares into cash. If so demanded, the Company shall, promptly after consummation of the Business Combination, redeem such shares into cash at a per share redemption price equal to the quotient determined by dividing (i) the amount in the Trust Account (as defined below), inclusive of any interest thereon, calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, by (ii) the total number of IPO Shares. “Trust Account” shall mean the trust account established by ChinaCap at the consummation of ChinaCap’s IPO and into which a certain amount of the net proceeds of the IPO are deposited.
27.4 In the event that the Company does not consummate a Business Combination prior to the Termination Date, the officers of the Company shall take all such action necessary to liquidate and dissolve the Company as soon as reasonably practicable. In the event that the Company is so wound-up and subsequently liquidated, only the holders of IPO Shares shall be entitled to receive pro rata liquidating distributions and the Company shall pay no liquidating distributions with respect to any other shares of the Company.
27.5 A holder of IPO Shares shall be entitled to receive distributions from the Trust Account only in the event of a liquidation of the Company or in the event he demands redemption of his shares in accordance with Article 27.3 above. In no other circumstances shall a holder of IPO Shares have any right or interest of any kind in or to the Trust Account.

ANNEX G

SECTION 262 OF THE DELAWARE GENERAL CORPORATION LAW

APPRAISAL RIGHTS. — (a) Any stockholder of a corporation of this State who holds shares of stock on the date of the making of a demand pursuant to subsection (d) of this section with respect to such shares, who continuously holds such shares through the effective date of the merger or consolidation, who has otherwise complied with subsection (d) of this section and who has neither voted in favor of the merger or consolidation nor consented thereto in writing pursuant to Section 228 of this title shall be entitled to an appraisal by the Court of Chancery of the fair value of the stockholder’s shares of stock under the circumstances described in subsections (b) and (c) of this section. As used in this section, the word “stockholder” means a holder of record of stock in a stock corporation and also a member of record of a nonstock corporation; the words “stock” and “share” mean and include what is ordinarily meant by those words and also membership or membership interest of a member of a nonstock corporation; and the words “depository receipt” mean a receipt or other instrument issued by a depository representing an interest in one or more shares or fractions thereof, solely of stock of a corporation, which stock is deposited with the depository.

(b) Appraisal rights shall be available for the shares of any class or series of stock of a constituent corporation in a merger or consolidation to be effected pursuant to Section 251 (other than a merger effected pursuant to Section 251 (g) of this title), Section 252, Section 254, Section 257, Section 258, Section 263 or Section 264 of this title:

(1) Provided, however, that no appraisal rights under this section shall be available for the shares of any class or series of stock, which stock, or depository receipts in respect thereof, at the record date fixed to determine the stockholders entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the meeting of stockholders to act upon the agreement of merger or consolidation, were either (i) listed on a national securities exchange or designated as a national market system security on an interdealer quotation system by the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. or (ii) held of record by more than 2,000 holders; and further provided that no appraisal rights shall be available for any shares of stock of the constituent corporation surviving a merger if the merger did not require for its approval the vote of the stockholders of the surviving corporation as provided in subsection (f) of Section 251 of this title.
(2) Notwithstanding paragraph (1) of this subsection, appraisal rights under this section shall be available for the shares of any class or series of stock of a constituent corporation if the holders thereof are required by the terms of an agreement of merger or consolidation pursuant to Sections 251, 252, 254, 257, 258, 263 and 264 of this title to accept for such stock anything except:

(a) Shares of stock of the corporation surviving or resulting from such merger or consolidation, or depository receipts in respect thereof;

(b) Shares of stock of any other corporation, or depository receipts in respect thereof, which shares of stock (or depository receipts in respect thereof) or depository receipts at the effective date of the merger or consolidation will be either listed on a national securities exchange or designated as a national market system security on an interdealer quotation system by the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. or held of record by more than 2,000 holders;

(c) Cash in lieu of fractional shares or fractional depository receipts described in the foregoing subparagraphs a. and b. of this paragraph; or

(d) Any combination of the shares of stock, depository receipts and cash in lieu of fractional shares or fractional depository receipts described in the foregoing subparagraphs a., b. and c. of this paragraph.

(3) In the event all of the stock of a subsidiary Delaware corporation party to a merger effected under Section 253 of this title is not owned by the parent corporation immediately prior to the merger, appraisal rights shall be available for the shares of the subsidiary Delaware corporation.

(c) Any corporation may provide in its certificate of incorporation that appraisal rights under this section shall be available for the shares of any class or series of its stock as a result of an amendment to its certificate

TABLE OF CONTENTS

of incorporation, any merger or consolidation in which the corporation is a constituent corporation or the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the corporation. If the certificate of incorporation contains such a provision, the procedures of this section, including those set forth in subsections (d) and (e) of this section, shall apply as nearly as is practicable.

(d) Appraisal rights shall be perfected as follows:

(1) If a proposed merger or consolidation for which appraisal rights are provided under this section is to be submitted for approval at a meeting of stockholders, the corporation, not less than 20 days prior to the meeting, shall notify each of its stockholders who was such on the record date for such meeting with respect to shares for which appraisal rights are available pursuant to subsections (b) or (c) hereof that appraisal rights are available for any or all of the shares of the constituent corporations, and shall include in such notice a copy of this section. Each stockholder electing to demand the appraisal of such stockholder’s shares shall deliver to the corporation, before the taking of the vote on the merger or consolidation, a written demand for appraisal of such stockholder’s shares. Such demand will be sufficient if it reasonably informs the corporation of the identity of the stockholder and that the stockholder intends thereby to demand the appraisal of such stockholder’s shares. A proxy or vote against the merger or consolidation shall not constitute such a demand. A stockholder electing to take such action must do so by a separate written demand as herein provided. Within 10 days after the effective date of such merger or consolidation, the surviving or resulting corporation shall notify each stockholder of each constituent corporation who has complied with this subsection and has not voted in favor of or consented to the merger or consolidation of the date that the merger or consolidation has become effective; or
(2) If the merger or consolidation was approved pursuant to Section 228 or Section 253 of this title, each constituent corporation, either before the effective date of the merger or consolidation or within ten days thereafter, shall notify each of the holders of any class or series of stock of such constituent corporation who are entitled to appraisal rights of the approval of the merger or consolidation and that appraisal rights are available for any or all shares of such class or series of stock of such constituent corporation, and shall include in such notice a copy of this section; provided that, if the notice is given on or after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, such notice shall be given by the surviving or resulting corporation to all such holders of any class or series of stock of a constituent corporation that are entitled to appraisal rights. Such notice may, and, if given on or after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, shall, also notify such stockholders of the effective date of the merger or consolidation. Any stockholder entitled to appraisal rights may, within 20 days after the date of mailing of such notice, demand in writing from the surviving or resulting corporation the appraisal of such holders’ shares. Such demand will be sufficient if it reasonably informs the corporation of the identity of the stockholder and that the stockholder intends thereby to demand the appraisal of such holder’s shares. If such notice did not notify stockholders of the effective date of the merger or consolidation, either (i) each such constituent corporation shall send a second notice before the effective date of the merger or consolidation notifying each of the holders of any class series of stock of such constituent corporation that are entitled to appraisal rights of the effective date of the merger or consolidation or (ii) the surviving or resulting corporation shall send such a second notice to all such holders on or within 10 days after such effective date; provided, however, that if such second notice is sent more than 20 days following the sending of the first notice, such second notice need only be sent to each stockholder who is entitled to appraisal rights and who has demanded appraisal of such holder’s shares in accordance with this subsection. An affidavit of the secretary or assistant secretary or of the transfer agent of the corporation that is required to give either notice that such notice has been given shall, in the absence of fraud, be prima facie evidence of the facts stated therein. For purposes of determining the stockholders entitled to receive either notice, each constituent corporation may fix, in advance, a record date that shall be not more than 10 days prior to the date the notice is given, provided, that if the notice is given on or after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, the record date shall be such effective date. If no record date is fixed and the notice is given prior to the effective date, the record date shall be the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the notice is given.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

(e) Within 120 days after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, the surviving or resulting corporation or any stockholder who has complied with subsections (a) and (d) hereof and who is otherwise entitled to appraisal rights, may file a petition in the Court of Chancery demanding a determination of the value of the stock of all such stockholders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time within 60 days after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, any stockholder shall have the right to withdraw such stockholder’s demand for appraisal and to accept the terms offered upon the merger or consolidation. Within 120 days after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, any stockholder who has complied with the requirements of subsections (a) and (d) hereof, upon written request, shall be entitled to receive from the corporation surviving the merger or resulting from the consolidation a statement setting forth the aggregate number of shares not voted in favor of the merger or consolidation and with respect to which demands for appraisal have been received and the aggregate number of holders of such shares. Such written statement shall be mailed to the stockholder within 10 days after such stockholder’s written request for such a statement is received by the surviving or resulting corporation or within 10 days after expiration of the period for delivery of demands for appraisal under subsection (d) hereof, whichever is later.

(f) Upon the filing of any such petition by a stockholder, service of a copy thereof shall be made upon the surviving or resulting corporation, which shall within 20 days after such service file in the office of the Register in Chancery in which the petition was filed a duly verified list containing the names and addresses of all stockholders who have demanded payment for their shares and with whom agreements as to the value of their shares have not been reached by the surviving or resulting corporation. If the petition shall be filed by the surviving or resulting corporation, the petition shall be accompanied by such a duly verified list. The Register in Chancery, if so ordered by the Court, shall give notice of the time and place fixed for the hearing of such petition by registered or certified mail to the surviving or resulting corporation and to the stockholders shown on the list at the addresses therein stated. Such notice shall also be given by 1 or more publications at least 1 week before the day of the hearing, in a newspaper of general circulation published in the City of Wilmington, Delaware or such publication as the Court deems advisable. The forms of the notices by mail and by publication shall be approved by the Court, and the costs thereof shall be borne by the surviving or resulting corporation.

(g) At the hearing on such petition, the Court shall determine the stockholders who have complied with this section and who have become entitled to appraisal rights. The Court may require the stockholders who have demanded an appraisal for their shares and who hold stock represented by certificates to submit their certificates of stock to the Register in Chancery for notation thereon of the pendency of the appraisal proceedings; and if any stockholder fails to comply with such direction, the Court may dismiss the proceeding as to such stockholder.

(h) After determining the stockholders entitled to an appraisal, the Court shall appraise the shares, determining their fair value exclusive of any element of value arising from the accomplishment or expectation of the merger or consolidation, together with a fair rate of interest, if any, to be paid upon the amount determined to be the fair value. In determining such fair value, the Court shall take into account all relevant factors. In determining the fair rate of interest, the Court may consider all relevant factors, including the rate of interest which the surviving or resulting corporation would have had to pay to borrow money during the pendency of the proceeding. Upon application by the surviving or resulting corporation or by any stockholder entitled to participate in the appraisal proceeding, the Court may, in its discretion, permit discovery or other pretrial proceedings and may proceed to trial upon the appraisal prior to the final determination of the stockholder entitled to an appraisal. Any stockholder whose name appears on the list filed by the surviving or resulting corporation pursuant to subsection (f) of this section and who has submitted such stockholder’s certificates of stock to the Register in Chancery, if such is required, may participate fully in all proceedings until it is finally determined that such stockholder is not entitled to appraisal rights under this section.

(i) The Court shall direct the payment of the fair value of the shares, together with interest, if any, by the surviving or resulting corporation to the stockholders entitled thereto. Interest may be simple or compound, as the Court may direct. Payment shall be so made to each such stockholder, in the case of holders of uncertificated stock forthwith, and the case of holders of shares represented by certificates upon the surrender to the

TABLE OF CONTENTS

corporation of the certificates representing such stock. The Court’s decree may be enforced as other decrees in the Court of Chancery may be enforced, whether such surviving or resulting corporation be a corporation of this State or of any state.

(j) The costs of the proceeding may be determined by the Court and taxed upon the parties as the Court deems equitable in the circumstances. Upon application of a stockholder, the Court may order all or a portion of the expenses incurred by any stockholder in connection with the appraisal proceeding, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and the fees and expenses of experts, to be charged pro rata against the value of all of the shares entitled to an appraisal.

(k) From and after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, no stockholder who has demanded appraisal rights as provided in subsection (d) of this section shall be entitled to vote such stock for any purpose or to receive payment of dividends or together distributions on the stock (except dividends or other distributions payable to stockholders of record at a date which is prior to the effective date of the merger or consolidation); provided, however; that if no petition for an appraisal shall be filed within the time provided in subsection (e) of this section, or if such stockholder shall deliver to the surviving or resulting corporation a written withdrawal of such stockholder’s demand for an appraisal and an acceptance of the merger or consolidation, either within 60 days after the effective date of the merger or consolidation as provided in subsection (e) of this section or thereafter with the written approval of the corporation, then the right of such stockholder to an appraisal shall cease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no appraisal proceeding in the Court of Chancery shall be dismissed as to any stockholder without the approval of the Court, and such approval may be conditioned upon such terms as the Court deems just.

(l) The shares of the surviving or resulting corporation to which the shares of such objecting stockholders would have been converted had they assented to the merger or consolidation shall have the status of authorized and unissued shares of the surviving or resulting corporation. (last amended by Ch. 339, L. ’98. Eff. 7-1-98.)
