APPLICATION OF HOME COUNTRY PRACTICE RULES

This current report on Form 6-K is being filed to disclose the Company has now elected to rely on the home country rule exemption under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5615(a)(3) with respect to the following matters.

As a company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands that is listed on Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”), the Company is subject to Nasdaq corporate governance listing standards. Under Nasdaq rules, a foreign private issuer may, in general, follow its home country corporate governance practices in lieu of some of the Nasdaq corporate governance requirements. Pursuant to the home country rule exemption set forth under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5615(a)(3)(A), which provides (with certain exceptions not relevant to the conclusions expressed herein) that a Foreign Private Issuer may follow its home country practice in lieu of the requirements of the Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5600 Series, we elected to be exempt from the requirements as follows:

(i) Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5635(a) which sets forth the circumstances under which shareholder approval is required prior to an issuance of securities of the Company in connection with the acquisition of the stock or assets of another company;

(ii) Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5635(b) which sets forth the circumstances under which shareholder approval is required prior to an issuance of securities of the Company that will result in a change of control of the company;

(iii) Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5635(c) which sets forth the circumstances under which shareholder approval is required prior to an issuance of securities of the Company in connection with equity-based compensation of officers, directors, employees or consultants; and

(iv) Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5635(d) which sets forth the circumstances under which shareholder approval is required prior to an issuance of securities, other than in a public offering, equal to 20% or more of the voting power outstanding at a price that is less than the minimum price defined therein.

Except for the foregoing, there is no significant difference between our corporate governance practices and what the Nasdaq requires of domestic U.S. companies.
