Explanation of Change


This Amendment No. 2 to the previously amended Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011(“Form 20-F”), is being filed to correct the biography of Ms. Jerry Zhang set forth in Item 6 of the Form 20-F and to update the shareholders table in Item 6 of the Form 20-F to reflect that Mr. Wang is the controlling person of Unionway Resources Limited, the record owner, and therefore the shareholding of Mr. Wang should not be separated but indicated under Unionway Resources Limited with a change in the footnote to indicate Mr. Wang’s controlling position.

C.  Board Practices

Terms of Directors and Executive Officers

Our board consists of five directors.  Our directors are not subject to a term of office limitation, and hold office until the next annual meeting of members or until such director’s earlier resignation, removal from office, death or incapacity.  Any vacancy on our board resulting from death, resignation, removal or other cause, and any newly created directorship resulting from any increase in the authorized number of directors between meetings of members, may be filled either by the affirmative vote of a majority of all the directors then in office (even if less than a quorum) or by a resolution of members.

Our executive officers are appointed by our board.  The executive officers shall hold office until their successors are duly elected and qualified, but any officer elected or appointed by the directors may be removed at any time, with or without cause, by resolution of directors.  Any vacancy occurring in any office may be filled by resolution of directors.

Independence of Directors

We have elected to follow the rules of NASDAQ to determine whether a director is independent.  Our board will also consult with counsel to ensure that our board’s determinations are consistent with those rules and all relevant securities and other laws and regulations regarding the independence of directors.  Rule 5605(a)(2) of Listing Rules of The Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc., or the Nasdaq Listing Rules, defines an “independent director” generally as a person, other than an officer of the Company, who does not have a relationship with the Company that would interfere with the director’s exercise of independent judgment. Consistent with these considerations, our board has affirmatively determined that, Messrs. Colin Sung, Jerry Zhang, Jianyun Chai and Qingtai Chen are our independent directors.

Board Committees
 
Our board has established an audit committee, a compensation committee and a corporate governance and nominating committee.  Each committee is comprised solely of independent directors within the meaning of Rule 5605(a)(2) of the Nasdaq Listing Rules, and meet the criteria for independence set forth in Rule 10A-3(b)(1) of the Exchange Act.

Audit Committee

Our audit committee consists of Messrs. Colin Sung, Qingtai Chen and Jerry Zhang with Mr. Sung serving as the Chair.  Our board has determined that all of our audit committee members are independent directors within the meaning of applicable NASDAQ listing rules, and meet the criteria for independence set forth in Rule 10A-3(b)(1) of the Exchange Act.

 
 

 
 
Our board has determined that each of Messrs. Sung, Chen and Zhang has an understanding of generally accepted accounting principles and financial statements, the ability to assess the general application of such principles in connection with our financial statements, including estimates, accruals and reserves, experience in analyzing or evaluating financial statements of similar breadth and complexity as our financial statements, an understanding of internal controls and procedures for financial reporting, and an understanding of audit committee functions.

Our board believes that Mr. Sung qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” within the meaning of all applicable rules.  Our board believes that Mr. Sung has financial expertise from his degrees in business, his activities as a chief executive officer and chief financial officer of various companies, and his consulting activities in the areas of accounting, corporate finance, capital formation and corporate financial analysis.

We adopted an audit committee charter under which the committee is responsible for reviewing the scope, planning and staffing of the audit and preparation of the financial statements.  This includes consultation with management, the auditors and other consultants and professionals involved in the preparation of the financial statements and reports.  The committee is responsible for performing oversight of relationship with our independent auditors.  The committee also has a general compliance oversight role in assuring that our directors, officers and management comply with our code of ethics, reviewing and approving of related party transactions, dealing with complaints regarding accounting, internal controls and auditing matters, and complying with accounting and legal requirements applicable to us.
 
Pursuant to the terms of its charter, the audit committee’s responsibilities include, among other things:
 
 
·
selecting our independent auditors and pre-approving all auditing and non-auditing services permitted to be performed by our independent auditors;
 
 
·
reviewing with our independent auditors any audit problems or difficulties and management’s response;

 
·
reviewing and approving all proposed related-party transactions;
 
 
·
discussing the annual audited financial statements with management and our independent auditors;
 
 
·
reviewing major issues as to the adequacy of our internal controls and any special audit steps adopted in light of significant internal control deficiencies;
 
 
·
annually reviewing and reassessing the adequacy of our audit committee charter;
 
 
·
such other matters that are specifically delegated to our audit committee by our board of directors from time to time;
 
 
·
meeting separately and periodically with management and our internal and independent auditors; and
 
 
·
reporting regularly to the full board of directors.
 
Compensation Committee

Our compensation committee consists of Messrs. Jerry Zhang, Jianyun Chai and Colin Sung, with Jerry Zhang serving as its Chair.  Our board has determined that all of our compensation committee members are independent directors within the meaning of applicable NASDAQ listing rules, and meet the criteria for independence set forth in Rule 10A-3(b)(1) of the Exchange Act.

 
 

 
 
Our compensation committee assists the board in reviewing and approving the compensation structure of our executive officers, including all forms of compensation to be provided to our executive officers.  Our chief executive officer may not be present at any committee meeting during which his compensation is deliberated.  The Compensation Committee is responsible for, among other things:

 
·
approving and overseeing the compensation package for our executive officers;

 
·
reviewing and approving corporate goals and objectives relevant to the compensation of our chief executive officer, evaluating the performance of our chief executive officer in light of those goals and objectives, and setting the compensation level of our chief executive officer based on this evaluation;

 
·
reviewing periodically and making recommendations to the Board regarding any long-term incentive compensation or equity plans, programs or similar arrangements, annual bonuses, employee pension and welfare benefit plans; and

 
·
reviewing and making recommendations to the Board regarding succession plans for the chief executive officer and other senior officers.

Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee

Our corporate governance and nominating committee consists of Messrs. Jerry Zhang, Jianyun Chai and Colin Sun, each of whom is “independent” as that term is defined under the Nasdaq listing standards.  The corporate governance and nominating committee assists the board of directors in identifying individuals qualified to become our directors and in determining the composition of the board and its committees.  The corporate governance and nominating committee is responsible for, among other things:

 
·
identifying and recommending to the Board nominees for election or re-election to the board, or for appointment to fill any vacancy;

 
·
reviewing annually with the board the current composition of the board in light of the characteristics of independence, age, skills, experience and availability of service to us;

 
·
identifying and recommending to the board the directors to serve as members of the board’s committees; and

 
·
monitoring compliance with our Corporate Governance Guidelines.

D.  Employees

We had 3,106, 2,185 and 1,736 employees as of June 30, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.  Substantially all of our employees are located in China.  The following table sets forth our employees as of June 30, 2011 based on their functional area within the Company:
