Dear Sir/Madam:
We are a firm of lawyers qualified to practice and practicing in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”), and have acted as Chinese Legal Counsel to Chine Victory Profit Limited (“CVP”); its subsidiary, Simply Good Limited (“SG”) and its affiliates, Xxxxx International Limited (“Xxxxx”), Linyi Lanshan District Guangsha Wood Industry Co. Ltd.(“Guangsha”), and Linyi Xxxx Xxxxx Xxxx Co., Ltd. (“Xxxx Xxxxx”, with CVP, SG, Xxxxx, Guangsha collectively the “CVP Companies”). We have been requested by CVP to render an Opinion with respect to the PRC law compliance of the CVP Companies.
For the purpose of giving this Opinion, we have examined both of the government registered documents as well as the companies’ documents, including the latest Business Licenses, Certificate of Approvals, Articles of Associations, Board Resolutions, as well as certain contractual arrangements regarding the corporate structure.
For the purpose of this opinion we have assumed:
(a)

the genuineness of all signatures and seals, the conformity to originals of all Documents purporting to be copies of originals and the authenticity of the originals of such documents;
|
(b)
|
all the obligations under the documents of each party thereto other than the Companies are legal, valid and binding on that party in accordance with the terms;
|
(c)
|
the due compliance with all matters (including, without limitation, the obtaining of necessary consents, licenses and approvals, and the making of necessary fillings and registrations) required under any laws other than the laws of PRC and compliance with the provisions of such laws as are applicable to the Documents and the parties thereto and the legality, validity and enforceability of the Documents under such laws;
|
(d)
|

|
(e)
|
the accuracy and completeness of all factual representations (if any) made in the Documents;

|
-53-
(g)

that the information disclosed by the company searches referred to above is accurate and complete as at the time of this opinion and conforms to records maintained by the Companies and that, in the case of the company search, the search did not fail to disclose any information which had been filed with or delivered to the Companies Registry in the People’s Republic of China, as the case may be, but had not been processed at the time when the search was conducted.
|
Based upon and subject to the foregoing and further subject to the qualifications set forth below, we are of the opinion that as at the date hereof:
A. Corporate structure: (Exhibit One)

On March 24, 2010 YE, Xiaoling, as a PRC citizen, entered into a call option agreement (the “Call Option Agreement”) with XXX, Xxxxxxx, a Hong Kong Passport Holder (“Foreign Passport Holder”), under which, YE Xiaoling would receive 100% shares of Well Asia Group Limited within three years.

-54-
LI Zhikang currently owns 100% of Xxxxx and serves as the sole director of Xxxxx.
On Xxxxx 0, 0000, XX Xxxxxxx executed a Declaration of Trust (“Declaration of Trust”), pursuant to which, LI Zhikang held the shares of Xxxxx as a nominee of and in trust for CVP.
IV. Guangsha (Exhibit Five)
Linyi Lanshan District Guangsha Wood Industry Co. Ltd. (“Guangsha”) was incorporated on August 13, 2004, under laws of China, with its registered address at Daizhuang Industry Park, Yitang Town, Lanshan District, Linyi City, Shangdong Province, China.
YE Xiaoling and ZHAO Yunhu currently own 60% and 40% of Guangsha.
YE Xiaoling currently serves as the executive director of Guangsha.

Linyi Xxxx Xxxxx Wood Co., Ltd. (“Xxxx Xxxxx”) was incorporated on March 21, 2006 under the laws of China, with its registered address at Daizhuang Industry Park, Lanshan District, Linyi City, Shangdong Province, China.

According to a Trust Agreement among CVP, Xx. Xx and Guangsha dated February 21, 2006, Guangsha holds equity interests of Xxxx Xxxxx in trust for CVP (“CVP Trust”).
LI, Zhikang, CHEN, Xxxxx Xx, and XXXX, Yunhu, are current members of the board of directors of Xxxx Xxxxx. LI, Zhikang currently serves as the Chairman of the Board.
B. PRC law compliance
I. Notice 75 and Circular 106
On October 21, 0000, Xxxxx’s State Administration for Foreign Exchange (“SAFE”) issued “The circular of the State Administration of foreign exchange concerning relevant issues on the foreign exchange administration of raising funds through Overseas Special Purpose Vehicles and investing back in China by domestic residents" (“Notice 75”), which became effective as of November 1, 2005. SAFE Notice 75 requires the owners of any Chinese companies to obtain SAFE’s approval before establishing any offshore holding company structure for foreign financing as well as subsequent acquisition matters in China.
On May 31, 2007, China State Administration of Foreign Exchange (“SAFE”) issued an official notice known as "Circular 106", to implement Notice 75.
-55-
Both Notice 75 and Circular 106 are applicable to the situation when an owner of a Chinese domestic company becomes the owner of the offshore company, for the purpose of overseas financing for his or her Chinese company.
Since none of CVP and SG is owned by Chinese citizens, and LI Zhikang, the owner of Xxxxx, does not own any equity of either Guangsha or Xxxx Xxxxx, Notice 75 and Circular 106, therefore, are not applicable to CVP, SG and Xxxxx.
II. Trust Agreement
According to CVP Trust, the execution and performance of Declaration of Trust by LI Zhikang are governed by and be construed in all respects in accordance with the laws of Hong Kong. Such execution and performance have not and will not result in a violation of, or constitute a violation of any applicable law, rule or regulation of the PRC.
C. Conclusion
Each of CVP, SG and Xxxxx is a business entity duly incorporated and validly existing under the laws of British Virgin Islands. Each of Xxxx Xxxxx and Guangsha has been duly established and validly existing under the laws of the PRC.
Each of Xxxx Xxxxx and Guangsha has been in good standing under Chinese laws. Each of these companies has the requisite corporate power to own, lease and operate its properties and to conduct its business.
None of CVP, SG, Xxxxx, Xxxx Xxxxx and Guangsha is applicable to Notice 75 and Circular 106 since all of them are not qualified as overseas special vehicle under the Notice 75 and Circular 106.
D. Certain Limitations and Qualifications
The opinions expressed above are based on the documents provided by the CVP Companies and our interpretation of Chinese laws and regulations, which, in our experience, are applicable. We note, however, that the laws and the regulations in China have been subject to substantial and frequent revision in recent years. We cannot assure that any future interpretations or amendments of Chinese laws and regulations by relevant authorities, administrative pronouncements, or court decisions, or future positions taken by these authorities would not adversely impact or affect the opinions set forth in this letter.
Our above opinions are also subject to the qualification that they are confined to and given on the basis of the published and publicly available laws and regulations of the PRC (excluding the laws of Hong Kong for the purpose of this opinion) effective as of the date hereof.
This Opinion has been prepared solely for your use of reference and may not be quoted in whole or in part or otherwise referred to in any documents, or disclosed to any third party, or filed with or furnished to any governmental agency, or other party without the express prior written consent of this firm.

Based solely upon a representation from the Acquiror Company and/or the Acquiror Company Principal Shareholder, we believe that all issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock have been duly authorized and validly issued, are fully paid and nonassessable and have not been issued in violation of any preemptive right of stockholders.

Whenever a statement herein is qualified by “known to us,” “we are not aware,” “to our knowledge,” or similar phrase, it is intended to indicate that, we have made all reasonable inquiries and have used our best endeavors to ensure that the statement is true, complete and accurate in all respects, but despite the aforesaid, during the course of our representation described in the introductory paragraph of this opinion letter.
To the extent that we opine as to the enforceability of any agreement, (1) the enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy or other laws now or hereafter in effect relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally, (ii) the remedy of specific performance and injunctive and other forms of equitable relief may be subject to equitable defenses and to the discretion of the court before which any proceedings therefore may be brought, and (iii) the enforceability of the indemnification and contribution provisions in the agreement may be limited by the state and federal securities laws and public policy and we assume the agreement is enforceable against all parties other than the Acquiror Company.
This opinion is rendered to you solely for the benefit of the parties to whom it is addressed and their permitted assigns, in connection with the Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby.

RESOLVED, that pursuant to the authority vested in the Board of Directors of the Company, the provisions of its Articles of Incorporation, and in accordance with the Nevada Revised Statutes, the Board of Directors hereby authorizes the filing of a Certificate of Designations, Preferences and Rights of Series M Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company. Accordingly, the Company is authorized to issue Series M Convertible Preferred Stock with par value of $0.0001 per share, which shall have the powers, preferences and rights and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof, as follows:
1. Designation and Rank. The designation of such series of the Preferred Stock shall be the Series M Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Series M Preferred Stock”). The maximum number of shares of Series M Preferred Stock shall be 500,000 shares. The Series M Preferred Stock shall rank pari passu to the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), and junior to all other classes and series of equity securities of the Company which by their terms do not rank pari passu, including the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. The Series M Preferred Stock shall be subordinate to and rank junior to all indebtedness of the Company now or hereafter outstanding.
2. Dividends.
The Series M Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to a dividend; provided that no cash dividends or distributions shall be declared or paid or set apart for payment on the Common Stock unless such cash dividend or distribution is likewise declared, paid or set apart for payment on the Series M Preferred Shares.
3. Voting Rights. Holders of the Series M Preferred Stock shall vote on an “as converted” basis, together as a single class, with the Common Stock, on all matters requiring the approval, ratification or consent of holders of Common Stock of the Company.

-59-
4. Conversion. The holder of Series M Preferred Stock shall have the following conversion rights (the “Conversion Rights”):
(a) Mandatory Conversion. On or after the date of issuance of the Series M Preferred Stock, at such time when the Company conducts the Reverse Stock Split and such Reverse Stock Split is declared effective, the holder of any such shares of Series M Preferred Stock shall automatically convert (a “Mandatory Conversion”) all of the shares of Series M Preferred Stock held by such person into a number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock equal to the product of (i) the number of shares of Series M Preferred Stock; and (ii) the Conversion Multiple (as defined in Section 4(c) below).
For purposes of this Section 4, “Reverse Stock Split” shall mean the reverse stock split that the Company is obligated to undertake pursuant to Section 7.4 of the Share Exchange Agreement dated September 29, 2010 and whereby such recapitalization will result in the number of shares outstanding on a fully-diluted basis (not including any securities related to a financing) being equal to ten million (10,000,000).
(b) Mechanics of Mandatory Conversion. The Mandatory Conversion of Series M Preferred Stock shall be conducted in the following manner:
(i) Holder's Delivery Requirements. Upon the Mandatory Conversion, the holder thereof shall surrender to a common carrier for delivery to the Company’s designated transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”) as soon as practicable following such Mandatory Conversion the original certificates representing the shares of Series M Preferred Stock being converted (or an indemnification undertaking with respect to such shares in the case of their loss, theft or destruction) (the “Preferred Stock Certificates”).
(ii) Company's Response and Common Stock Issuance. Upon the Mandatory Conversion, the Company shall immediately send, via facsimile, a confirmation of receipt of such Preferred Stock Certificates to such holder. Upon receipt by the Transfer Agent of the Preferred Stock Certificates, the Company shall, within three (3) trading days following the later of the (x) Mandatory Conversion, and (y) date of receipt of the Preferred Stock Certificates by the Transfer Agent, issue and deliver to the holder certificates registered in the name of the holder or its designee, representing the number of shares of Common Stock to which the holder shall be entitled.
(iii) Record Holder. The person or persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon a conversion of the Series M Preferred Stock shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock from and after the Conversion Date.
(c) Conversion Price.
(i) The term “Conversion Multiple” shall mean 10,000 subject to adjustment under Section 4(c)(ii) hereof.
-60-
(ii) Adjustments for Stock Splits and Combinations. If the Company shall, at any time or from time to time after the date of issuance, effect a split of the outstanding Common Stock (including the Reverse Stock Split), the Conversion Multiple shall be proportionately adjusted. If the Company shall, at any time or from time to time after the date of issuance, combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Multiple shall be proportionately adjusted. Any adjustments under this Section 5(d)(i) shall be effective at the close of business on the date the stock split or combination becomes effective.
(d) No Impairment. The Company shall not, by amendment of its Articles of Incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder, but shall at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Section 4 and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the Conversion Rights of the holders of the Series M Preferred Stock against impairment.
(e) Issue Taxes. The Company shall pay any and all issue and other taxes, excluding federal, state or local income taxes, that may be payable in respect of any issue or delivery of shares of Common Stock on conversion of shares of Series M Preferred Stock pursuant hereto; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to pay any transfer taxes resulting from any transfer requested by any holder in connection with any such conversion.
(f) Notices. All notices and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed given if delivered personally or by facsimile or three (3) business days following being mailed by certified or registered mail, postage prepaid, return-receipt requested, addressed to the holder of record at its address appearing on the books of the Company.

In lieu of any fractional shares to which the holder would otherwise be entitled, the Company shall round the number of shares to be issued upon conversion up to the nearest whole number of shares.
(h) Retirement of Series M Preferred Stock. Conversion of Series M Preferred Stock shall be deemed to have been effected on a Mandatory Conversion.
5. No Preemptive Rights.

Upon receipt by the Company of evidence satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any Preferred Stock Certificates representing the shares of Series M Preferred Stock, and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, of any indemnification undertaking by the holder to the Company and, in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of the Preferred Stock Certificate(s), the Company shall execute and deliver new preferred stock certificate(s) of like tenor and date; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to re-issue Preferred Stock Certificates if the holder contemporaneously requests the Company to convert such shares of Series M Preferred Stock into Common Stock.
8. Remedies, Characterizations, Other Obligations, Breaches and Injunctive Relief. The remedies provided in this Certificate of Designation shall be cumulative and in addition to all other remedies available under this Certificate of Designation, at law or in equity (including a decree of specific performance and/or other injunctive relief), no remedy contained herein shall be deemed a waiver of compliance with the provisions giving rise to such remedy and nothing herein shall limit a holder's right to pursue actual damages for any failure by the Company to comply with the terms of this Certificate of Designation. Amounts set forth or provided for herein with respect to payments, conversion and the like (and the computation thereof) shall be the amounts to be received by the holder thereof and shall not, except as expressly provided herein, be subject to any other obligation of the Company (or the performance thereof). The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the holders of the Series M Preferred Stock and that the remedy at law for any such breach may be inadequate. The Company therefore agrees that, in the event of any such breach or threatened breach, the holders of the Series M Preferred Stock shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an injunction restraining any breach, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.
9. Specific Shall Not Limit General; Construction. No specific provision contained in this Certificate of Designation shall limit or modify any more general provision contained herein. This Certificate of Designation shall be deemed to be jointly drafted by the Company and all initial purchasers of the Series M Preferred Stock and shall not be construed against any person as the drafter hereof.
10. Failure or Indulgence Not Waiver. No failure or delay on the part of a holder of Series M Preferred Stock in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other right, power or privilege.
