In relation to the Resumption Condition relating to the PRC Investigation, the Company wishes to update its Shareholders and potential investors that, according to the website of the Shanghai Court Litigation Service Website (上海法院訟訴服務網), a criminal hearing against Mr. Lin and Nanpu Food (Group) Co.,Ltd. et al was listed to take place from 29 June 2020 to 1 July 2020. It is also noted that no companies in the Group were included as defendants. The Company does not have any further information on the hearing. The Board maintains its view on this Resumption Condition as set out in the Company's announcement dated 13 February 2020, inter alia, that there was no evidence that Mr. Lin's investigation in the PRC is related to the Group and having considered his removal from the Board, the Resumption Condition in respect of his PRC investigation should be viewed as having been fulfilled.

Further to the Company's announcement dated 13 February 2020 and in relation to Financial Assistance, the Shanghai Third Intermediate People's Court has accepted Tenwow Food's application for bankruptcy liquidation of Tiansheng Warehouse and the first creditors' meeting was held on 23 June 2020.

Business operation

Due to the outbreak of COVID-19, various restrictive measures on business operations had been imposed by local governments in Wuhan and Shanghai and the production of the Group was mostly halted during the first quarter of 2020. Sales of the Group was affected because of the lockdown measures. Following the resumption of work and gradual relaxation of lockdown measures in March/April 2020, the Group has seen recovery in its business. Internal preliminary records indicated that during the second quarter of 2020, the Group received sales orders of approximately RMB200 million.

Restructuring

The Company wishes to update the Shareholders and the potential investors that three subsidiaries of the Group in Wuhan, which are expected to be retained in the Restructured Group, had been put into bankruptcy liquidation to facilitate a court supervised restructuring of the subsidiaries. The first creditors' meeting of the three subsidiaries in bankruptcy liquidation was held on 5 August 2020, where the bankruptcy administrators provided an account of the work performed to date and latest operation status and financial position of the three subsidiaries.
