("TRIN"), a public reporting company currently marshaling strategic relationships in preparation for its Form S-1 Registration under the Act and seeking FINRA application for ticker and acceptance on the NASDAQ. This Appendix A shall be considered fully integrated with the Merger, Acquisition and Financing via Stock Exchange Agreement (the "Stock Swap Agreement").

Notes:
i. Basis of stock swap ratio: TRIN and EW will commission an independent appraisal company to conduct an appraisal for the purpose of determining the stock swap ratio. The parties to the Stock Swap Agreement agreed on the above ratio following negotiations after both parties had carefully studied the methods used for and results of the appraisal.
ii. Results, method and basis of third-party institution appraisal: The Appraisal Company will calculate the swap ratio for TRIN and EW stock after making a comprehensive appraisal using market price and discounted cash flow methods.
iii. New shares to be issued for swap and their allocation
: TRIN will issue common stock for the stock swap. Together with common treasury shares held by TRIN, by this strategy, TRIN will allocate common stock to all shareholders registered in EW's Shareholders List (including beneficial shareholders) on the day prior to the effective date of the stock swap. EW shareholders will receive 1 TRIN common stock per one common share of EW stock. EW's common stock held by TRIN will not be part of the allocation.3. STOCK SWAP SUBSIDIZATION
TRIN will make no subsidization payments in the stock swap. TRIN will agree to provide supplemental or expansion capitalization to EW as needed and approved by the TRIN Board of Directors.
4. LISTING AFTER STOCK SWAP
TRIN will maintain its stock exchange listing after it becomes the full parent company through the stock swap. EW will become a wholly-owned subsidiary through the stock swap.
5. POST-STOCK SWAP STATUS
There are no current plans to make any changes to company names, type of business, head office location or authorized capital after the stock swap.
6. ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES APPLIED (GAAP STANDARD)
The stock swap is expected to be classified as a transaction between companies under common control. The goodwill amortization is to be calculated over a five-year period for a yet-to-be determined value (excluding that corresponding to cost of stock transfer).
7. IMPACT ON CONSOLIDATED RESULTS
EW will become a consolidated subsidiary of TRIN and so the stock swap is forecast to produce a significant impact on TRIN's consolidated or unconsolidated results after fiscal 2012.
