Dear Sirs

 

China Advanced Construction Materials Group, Inc. (the “Company”)

We have acted as Cayman Islands counsel to the Company, an exempted company incorporated in the Cayman Islands, and have been requested to provide this legal opinion in connection with the Company’s registration statement on Form F-4, including all amendments or supplements thereto, as originally filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission ”) under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act ”) on 20 September 2018 (File No. 333-226308) (the “Registration Statement”), in respect of the 5,488,649 ordinary shares with a nominal or par value of US$0.001 per share in the capital of the Company (the “Shares”) to be issued by the Company in connection with that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger between the Company and China Advanced Construction Materials Group, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Merger Agreement”).

We are Attorneys-at-Law in the Cayman Islands and express no opinion as to any laws other than the laws of the Cayman Islands in force and as interpreted at the date hereof.

1Documnts Reviewed

We have reviewed originals, copies, drafts or conformed copies of the following documents and such other documents or instruments as we deem necessary:

1.1the Certificate of Incorporation of the Company dated 28 June 2018, and the Memorandum of Association and Articles of Association of the Company as registered on 28 June 2018 and the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association of the Company as conditionally adopted by Special Resolution passed on 20 September 2018 (the “Memorandum and Articles”);
1.2the written resolutions of the board of directors of the Company dated 20 September 2018 (the “Resolutions”) and the corporate records of the Company maintained at its registered office in the Cayman Islands;

1.3the shareholder resolutions of the Company dated 20 September 2018 (the “Shareholder Resolutions”);
1.4the register of members of the Company maintained at its registered office in the Cayman Islands (the “Register of Members”);
1.5a certificate from a director of the Company dated 20 September 2018, a copy of which is attached hereto (the “Director’s Certificate”);
1.6the Merger Agreement; and
1.7the Registration Statement.
2Assumptions

The following opinions are given only as to, and based on, circumstances and matters of fact existing and known to us on the date of this opinion. This opinion only relates to the laws of the Cayman Islands which are in force on the date of this opinion. In giving this opinion we have relied (without further verification) upon the completeness and accuracy of the factual confirmations contained in the Director’s Certificate. We have also relied upon the following assumptions, which we have not independently verified:

 

2.1copies of documents, conformed copies or drafts of documents provided to us are true and complete copies of, or in the final forms of, the originals, and translations of documents provided to us are complete and accurate;

  

 

  

2.2all signatures, initials and seals are genuine;
2.3there is nothing under any law (other than the laws of the Cayman Islands) which would or might affect the opinions expressed herein;
2.4the Shares to be offered and issued by the Company pursuant to the Merger Agreement and the Registration Statement will be issued by the Company against payment in full, of the consideration, in accordance with the Merger Agreement and be duly registered in the Company’s register of members; and
2.5there is no contractual or other prohibition (other than as arising under Cayman Islands law) binding on the Company prohibiting it from entering into and performing its obligations under the Registration Statement or the Merger Agreement.
3Opinions

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:

 

3.1The Company has been duly incorporated as an exempted company with limited liability and is validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the Cayman Islands.
3.2The issue of the Shares to be issued by the Company as contemplated by the Merger Agreement and the Registration Statement has been authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Company.
3.3When issued in the manner described in the Merger Agreement and the Registration Statement and in accordance with the resolutions adopted by the board of directors of the Company, the Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
4Qualifications

We make no comment with respect to any representations and warranties which may be made by or with respect to the Company in any of the documents or instruments cited in this opinion or otherwise with respect to the commercial terms of the transactions the subject of this opinion.

In this opinion, the phrase “non-assessable” means, with respect to the Shares, that a shareholder shall not, solely by virtue of its status as a shareholder, be liable for additional assessments or calls on the Shares by the Company or its creditors (except in exceptional circumstances, such as involving fraud, the establishment of an agency relationship or an illegal or improper purpose or other circumstance in which a court may be prepared to pierce or lift the corporate veil).

To maintain the Company in good standing under the laws of the Cayman Islands, annual filing fees must be paid and returns made to the Registrar of Companies within the time frame prescribed by law.

This opinion is provided solely for your benefit and use and may not be quoted in whole or in part or otherwise referred to or filed with any government agency or any other person without our prior express written consent, and no person other than the Company is entitled to rely on this opinion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we hereby consent to filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement and to the reference to our name under the heading "Background and Reasons for the Merger" included in the Registration Statement. In giving our consent, we do not thereby admit that we are in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Act or the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder.

Yours faithfully
