2.13	The completeness and accuracy of the Register of Members.
2.14	There is nothing under any law (other than the laws of the British Virgin Islands) which would or might affect the opinions set out below. We have not made any investigation of the laws, rules or regulations of any jurisdiction other than the laws of the British Virgin Islands.

3 Opinions

Based upon, and subject to, the foregoing assumptions and the qualifications set out below, and having regard to such legal considerations as we deem relevant, we are of the opinion that:

3.1	The Company is a company limited by shares incorporated with limited liability under the BVI Business Companies Act (as amended) (the “Act”), is in good standing at the Registry of Corporate Affairs, is validly existing under the laws of the British Virgin Islands and possesses the capacity to sue and be sued in its own name.
3.2	Based solely on our review of the Memorandum and Articles, the Company is currently authorised to issue an unlimited number of shares of a single class with a par value of US$0.001 each.
3.3	Upon the issuance of any Ordinary Shares and payment of the consideration in accordance with the Securities Purchase Agreement, such Ordinary Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
3.4	The Ordinary Shares will be deemed to be issued when the name of the registered holder(s) is entered in the register of members of the Company as the registered holder(s) of the Ordinary Shares.

We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion letter as an exhibit to the Registration Statement and to all references made to our firm in the Registration Statement. In giving this consent, we do not thereby admit that we are in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the United States Securities Act of 1933 or the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

4 Qualifications

The opinions expressed above are subject to the following qualifications:

4.1	To maintain the Company in good standing under the laws of the British Virgin Islands, annual filing fees must be paid to the Registry of Corporate Affairs.
4.2	The obligations of the Company may be subject to restrictions pursuant to United Nations sanctions as implemented under the laws of the British Virgin Islands and/or restrictive measures adopted by the European Union Council for Common Foreign and Security Policy extended to the British Virgin Islands by the Order of Her Majesty in Council.
4.3	Under section 42 of the Act, the entry of the name of a person in the register of members of a company as a holder of a share in a company is prima facie evidence that legal title in the share vests in that person. A third party interest in the shares in question would not appear. An entry in the register of members may yield to a court order for rectification (for example, in the event of inaccuracy or omission).
4.4	In this opinion, the phrase “non-assessable” means, with respect to the issuance of shares, that a shareholder shall not, in respect of the relevant shares and in the absence of a contractual arrangement, or an obligation pursuant to the memorandum and articles of association, to the contrary, have any obligation to make further contributions to the Company’s assets (except in exceptional circumstances, such as involving fraud, the establishment of an agency relationship or an illegal or improper purpose or other circumstances in which a court may be prepared to pierce or lift the corporate veil).

The opinions in this opinion letter are strictly limited to the matters contained in the opinions section above and do not extend to any other matters or documents not referred to herein or any circumstance, fact or event that occurs after the date of this legal opinion that may alter, affect or modify the opinions expressed herein.

This opinion letter is addressed to and for the benefit solely of the addressee.

Yours faithfully
