BABA’s financial statements, which include items (i) and (ii) of this Section 2.6 (the “Financial Statements”), have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applicable in the United States of America (“GAAP”) applied on a consistent basis throughout the periods indicated, except with respect to footnotes in unaudited Financial Statements to the extent not required by GAAP. The audited balance sheet presents fairly and accurately, as of its date, the financial condition of BABA.

The books of account of BABA have been kept accurately in all material respects in the ordinary course of business, the transaction entered therein represent bona fide transactions, and the revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities of BABA have been properly recorded therein in all material respects. The Financial Statements fairly and accurately present the financial condition and operating results of BABA as of the dates, and for the periods, indicated therein, subject to normal year-end audit adjustments.

None of the Public Reports, as of their respective dates, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary to make the statements made therein not misleading. There is no event, fact or circumstance that would cause any certification signed by any officer of BABA in connection with any Public Report pursuant to the Sarbanes/Oxley Act to be untrue, inaccurate or incorrect in any respect. There is no revocation order, suspension order, injunction or other proceeding or law affecting the trading of BABA’s Common Stock, it being acknowledged that none of BABA’s securities are approved or listed for trading on any exchange or quotation system.
