REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED

PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND SHAREHOLDERS OF CHINA ENTERPRISES LIMITED

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of China Enterprises Limited (“Company”) and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss), changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2018, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2018, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

/s/ Centurion ZD CPA & Co.

Centurion ZD CPA & Co. (as successor to Centurion ZD CPA Limited)

We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2016.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Amounts in thousands, except number of shares, per share data and unless otherwise stated)

1.	ORGANIZATION AND PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES

China Enterprises Limited (the “Company”) was incorporated in Bermuda on January 28, 1993. Its common stock trades on the OTC (Over-the-Counter) Securities Marketplace in the United States of America (the “US”).

The accompanying financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries which primarily consist of Million Good Limited (“Million Good”, incorporated in the British Virgin Islands, “BVI”, principally engaged in investment holding), Wealth Faith Limited (“Wealth Faith”, incorporated in the BVI, principally engaged in investment holding), Cosmos Regent Limited (“Cosmos Regent”, incorporated in the BVI, principally engaged in investment holding), Cyber Generation Limited (“Cyber Generation”, incorporated in the BVI, principally engaged in investment holding). The Company and all of its subsidiaries are collectively referred to as the “Group”.

Based in Hong Kong, the Company has historically been engaged in tire manufacturing, trading and related businesses, and actively participated in the management of China-based companies in a variety of industries for strategic operating purposes.

As of January 1, 2010, the Company had a 26% equity interest in Hangzhou Zhongce Rubber Co., Limited (“HZ”, located in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, the PRC). HZ and its consolidated subsidiaries (the “PRC entities”) are engaged in the manufacture of rubber tires in the PRC.

On November 28, 2011, the Company sold all of its ownership interests in HZ to CZ Tire Holdings Limited, an independent third party company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands.

Following the disposal of all of its interest in the tire business in 2011, the Company had no revenue producing businesses and began actively seeking new investment opportunities, including entering into an agreement through its wholly owned subsidiary to purchase a 40% equity interest in Million Cube Limited (“Million Cube”) in 2012. Million Cube has acquired a 45% equity interest and corresponding shareholder loans of Paragon Winner Company Limited (“Paragon”). Paragon was formed to invest in a joint venture that is developing a golf course, hotel and resort complex at Sanya City in the PRC. On March 27, 2015, the Company closed on the acquisition of Million Cube.

The Company has continued to seek new strategic investment opportunities in the PRC, including Hong Kong. Apart from the golf resort business, the Company is also looking at other potential investments and has a long term goal to build a platform of value-added and productive businesses under the strategic direction of the Company whereby it can exercise significant influence over the financial and operating decisions of its investees for financial returns.

(Amounts in thousands, except number of shares, per share data and unless otherwise stated)

2.	SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a)

Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).

(b)

Basis of Consolidation

The Company consolidates all entities in which it is the primary beneficiary of variable interests in variable interest entities and entities in which it has a controlling financial interest. The Company did not have a variable interest in any variable interest entity during the periods presented.

The consolidated financial statements include the assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated on consolidation.

(c)

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers cash on hand, demand deposits with banks, and highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less when purchased to be cash and cash equivalents.

(d)

Marketable Securities

The Company’s marketable equity securities are publicly traded stocks measured at fair value and classified within Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy because it uses quoted prices for identical assets in active markets. The classification of marketable securities is based on the Company’s intent, which is re-evaluated periodically, with respect to those securities. The Company classifies those marketable equity securities in current assets when these securities are bought and held principally for the purpose of selling them in the near term and represent investments of cash available for current operations. These investments are reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses included in earnings.

Prior to January 1, 2018, the Company accounted for marketable equity securities that were not designated as trading securities as available-for- sale securities. They were held at fair value with unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, reported in accumulated other comprehensive gain or losses. Any unrealized losses that were deemed other-than-temporary were included in current period earnings and removed from accumulated other comprehensive gain or losses.

On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU 2016-01. The carrying value of the Company’s marketable equity securities is adjusted to fair value for observable transactions for identical or similar investments of the same issuer or impairment (referred to as the measurement alternative). All gains and losses on marketable equity securities, realized and unrealized, are recognized in non-operating income (expenses).

The Company adopted ASU 2016-01 prospectively on its marketable securities. Upon adoption, the Company reclassified RMB1,951 net unrealized gains related to marketable equity securities from accumulated other comprehensive income to opening accumulated deficit.

No impairment loss had been recorded for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017.

(e)

Non-marketable Investment

The Company’s non-marketable equity securities are investments in privately held companies without readily determinable fair values. The Company does not have significant influence over these investees.

Prior to January 1, 2018, the Company accounted for its non-marketable equity securities at cost and only adjusts for other-than-temporary declines in fair value and distributions of earnings. An impairment loss was recognized in the consolidated statements of operations equal to the excess of the investment’s cost over its fair value at the balance sheet date of the reporting period for which the assessment was made. The fair value would then become the new cost basis of investment.

On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU 2016-01 which changed the way it accounts for non-marketable securities. The carrying value of the Company’s non-marketable equity securities is adjusted to fair value for observable transactions for identical or similar investments of the same issuer or impairment (referred to as the measurement alternative). All gains and losses on non-marketable equity securities, realized and unrealized, are recognized in non-operating income (expenses).

The Company adopted ASU 2016-01 prospectively on its non-marketable investment, which did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.

No impairment loss had been recorded for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017.

Income Taxes

Deferred income taxes are recognized for temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements and unutilized tax loss carry forwards by applying enacted statutory tax rates applicable to future years. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Current income taxes are provided in accordance with the laws of the relevant taxing authorities.

The Company adopted ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes, which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements. The interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. ASC Topic 740 also provides accounting guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition.

(g)

Foreign Currencies

The functional currency of the Company and its Hong Kong domiciled subsidiaries is Hong Kong dollars. The Company has elected Renminbi as its reporting currency.

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currencies of the Company and its subsidiaries at the applicable exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into functional currencies using the applicable exchange rates prevailing at the respective balance sheet dates. Exchange differences are included in the consolidated statements of operations.

Assets and liabilities of the Company and its subsidiaries domiciled in Hong Kong have been translated into Renminbi at the rates of exchange prevailing at the balance sheet dates and all income and expense items are translated into Renminbi at the average rates of exchange over the year. Exchange differences resulting from the translation have been recorded as a component of comprehensive losses.

The translation of Renminbi amounts into US$ amounts are included solely for the convenience of readers and have been made at US$1.00 = RMB6.8755, the noon buying rate from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York on December 31, 2018. No representation is made that the Renminbi amounts could have been, or could be, converted into United States dollar at that rate or at any other rate.

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the year. The Company did not have dilutive potential common share equivalents during fiscal 2016, 2017 and 2018.

(i)

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the years presented. Actual results may differ from those estimates. Significant estimates in these financial statements that are susceptible to change as more information becomes available are collectability of receivables, valuation allowances for deferred tax assets and impairment with respect to i) marketable securities and ii) non-marketable investment.

(j)

Financial Instruments

The Company recognizes all derivative instruments on the balance sheet at fair value with changes in fair values reported in the consolidated statements of operations.

The Company’s financial instruments that are exposed to concentration of credit risk consist primarily of its cash and cash equivalents, and amounts due from related parties. The Company has reviewed the credit worthiness and financial position of its related parties for credit risks associated with amounts due from them. These entities have good credit standing and the Company does not expect to incur significant losses on advances provided to these entities.

(k)

Comprehensive Income

Comprehensive income represents changes in equity resulting from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources. Comprehensive income consists of net income (loss) and the foreign exchange differences arising from translation to the reporting currency and unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2016- 02, Leases (Topic 842). The new standard establishes a right-of- use (“ROU”) model that requires a lessee to record a ROU asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. A modified retrospective transition approach is required for lessees for capital and operating leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements, with certain practical expedients available. The adoption of this ASU did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326), which requires entities to measure all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. This replaces the existing incurred loss model and is applicable to the measurement of credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Early application will be permitted for all entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. The adoption of this ASU did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. ASU 2016-15 clarifies the presentation and classification of certain cash receipts and cash payments in the statement of cash flows. The amendments are an improvement to U.S. GAAP because they provide guidance for each of the eight issues, thereby reducing the current and potential future diversity in practice. This ASU is effective for public business entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company has adopted the guidance retrospectively to each period presented. The adoption does not have any material effect on the presentation of its consolidated statements of cash flows.

In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-16, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory. This ASU improves the accounting for the income tax consequences of intra-entity transfers of assets other than inventory. For public business entities, the amendments in this update are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. The adoption of this ASU did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements — continued

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash. The guidance requires that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. Therefore, amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of- period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim period within those fiscal years. The Company has adopted the guidance retrospectively to each period presented. The adoption does not have any material effect on the presentation of its consolidated statements of cash flows.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business, which clarifies the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions or disposals of assets or businesses. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company has adopted the guidance effective January 1, 2018. The Company will evaluate the impact of adopting this standard prospectively upon any transactions of acquisitions or disposals of assets or businesses.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. The guidance removes Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test, which requires a hypothetical purchase price allocation. A goodwill impairment will now be the amount by which a reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. The guidance should be adopted on a prospective basis for the annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. The adoption of this ASU did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

As of the end of reporting period, the Company considers the declines in market value of its marketable securities in its investment portfolio not to be other than temporary in nature, therefore no impairment is recorded. Fair values were determined using closing prices of each individual security in the investment portfolio. When evaluating an investment for other-than- temporary impairment, the Company reviews factors such as the length of time and extent to which fair value has been below its cost basis, the financial condition of the issuer and any changes thereto, and the Company’s intent to sell, or whether it is more likely than not it will be required to sell, the investment before recovery of the investment’s cost basis. No impairment loss was recognized for the years presented.

4.	NON-MARKETABLE INVESTMENT

On March 27, 2015, the Company closed on the acquisition of 40% interests in Million Cube. Million Cube is essentially an investment vehicle and without substantive operating activities of its own. Million Cube has only one investment in 45% of the issued capital and corresponding shareholder loans of Paragon, which was acquired in 2012 from ITC Properties Group Limited, a company incorporated in Bermuda and listed on the HKSE (“ITC Properties”). Paragon was incorporated in the BVI and engages in the development and operation of Sanya Sun Valley Golf Resort in Yalong Bay, Sanya China, PRC. Through the investments, the Company has effective held approximately 18% of interests in Paragon after the completion of its purchasing of 40% interest in Million Cube.

Although Wealth Faith had appointed one director to Million Cube’s board of directors, as there are no other operating activities in Million Cube, the Company has no significant influence over its investment in Million Cube and the substantive investment, which is the Company’s secondary investment in Paragon. As such, the Company records the investment in Million Cube at cost and adjusts for other-than-temporary declines in fair value and distributions of earnings. As of December 31, 2018, the carrying amount of the non-marketable investment was RMB175,680 (HK$200,000).

The management of the Company considered that no impairment was required on its long-term investment because there was a significant appreciation of the underlying asset, a piece of land in Yalong Bay, held by Paragon.

The Company appointed a third party professional valuer to re-assess the current market value of that piece of land in Yalong Bay. In the opinion of the Company’s management, no impairment on the investment in non-marketable investment was required by the Company as of December 31, 2017 and 2018.

Bermuda

The Company is incorporated under the laws of Bermuda and, under current Bermuda law, is not subject to tax on income or on capital gains. The Company has received an undertaking from the Ministry of Finance of Bermuda pursuant to the provisions of the Exempted Undertakings Tax Protection Amendment Act, 2011, as amended, that in the event that Bermuda enacts any legislation imposing tax computed on profits or income, including any dividend or capital gains withholding tax, or computed on any capital asset, gain or appreciation, or any tax in the nature of estate duty or inheritance tax, then the imposition of any such tax shall not be applicable to the Company or to any of its operations or the shares, debentures or other obligations of the Company until March 31, 2035. This undertaking is not to be construed so as to (i) prevent the application of any such tax or duty on such person as an ordinary resident in Bermuda; or (ii) prevent the application of any tax payable in accordance with the provision of the Land Tax Act, 1967 or otherwise payable in relation to any land leased to the Company in Bermuda.

British Virgin Islands (“BVI”)

The Company has certain of its subsidiaries incorporated under the laws of the BVI. Pursuant to the rules and regulations of the BVI, these subsidiaries are not subject to any income tax in the BVI.

Under the International Business Companies Act of the BVI as currently in effect, a holder of common stock who is not a resident of the BVI is exempt from BVI income tax on dividends paid with respect to the common stock and all holders of common stock are not liable for BVI income tax on gains realized during that year on sale or disposal of such shares; the BVI does not impose a withholding tax on dividends paid by a company incorporated under the International Business Companies Act.

There are no capital gains, gift or inheritance taxes levied by the BVI on companies incorporated under the International Business Companies Act. In addition, the common stock is not subject to transfer taxes, stamp duties or similar charges.

There is no income tax treaty or convention currently in effect between the United States and the BVI.

Hong Kong

The Company and certain of its subsidiaries are operating in Hong Kong and their income taxes have been calculated by applying a profits tax rate of 16.5% to the estimated taxable income earned in or derived from Hong Kong.

The tax positions for the years 2011 to 2018 may be subject to examination by the Hong Kong tax authorities.

PRC

The Company adopted the provisions of ASC Topic 740 effective January 1, 2007. The Group has made its assessment of the level of tax authority for each tax position (including the potential application of interest and penalties) based on the technical merits, and has measured the unrecognized tax benefits associated with the tax positions. Based on the evaluation by the Company, it is concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in the financial statements.

The Company has no material unrecognized tax benefit which would favorably affect the effective income tax rate in future periods and does not believe that there will be any significant increases or decreases of unrecognized tax benefits within the next twelve months. The Company classifies interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. As of December 31, 2017 and 2018, there is no interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions.

According to the PRC Tax Administration and Collection Law, the statute of limitations is three years if the underpayment of taxes is due to computational errors made by the taxpayer or its withholding agent. The statute of limitations extends to five years under special circumstances, which are not clearly defined. In the case of a related party transaction, the statute of limitations is ten years. There is no statute of limitations in the case of tax evasion.

The Company did not issue any Common Stock for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2017 and 2018.

8.	FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Effective from January 1, 2008, the Company adopted ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures, for all financial assets and liabilities and nonfinancial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the consolidated financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). ASC Topic 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell the asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e. the “exit price”) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and also considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability.

Fair Value Hierarchy

ASC Topic 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. ASC Topic 820 establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.

Level 3 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

RELATED PARTY BALANCES, TRANSACTIONS AND ARRANGEMENTS

Parties are considered to be related to the Company if the parties, directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries, control, are controlled by, or are under common control with the Company. Related parties also include principal owners of the Company, its management, members of the immediate families of principal owners of the Company and its management and other parties with which the Company may deal if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests. A party which can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the transacting parties or if it has an ownership interest in one of the transacting parties and can significantly influence the other to an extent that one or more of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests is also a related party.

Other than those disclosed elsewhere in the consolidated financial statements, the Company had the following related party balances:

CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

As of December 31, 2017 and 2018, approximately 98.8% and 99.3%, respectively, of the Company’s cash is maintained with one bank in Taiwan. To protect the interest of depositors, Taiwan introduced deposit insurance which provides maximum compensation of NT$3,000 (approximately RMB652) per depositor if a bank becomes bankrupt. The Company has historically not experienced any losses due to the bank failure and monitors the soundness and the credit ratings of the bank on a periodic basis. Thus, the Company believes it is currently not exposed to any material risks on its bank deposits with the bank.

15.

MARKET RATE RISK

On August 11, 2015, the People’s Bank of China (“PBOC”) has cut the RMB’s reference rate by 1.9%, sparking the sharpest fall in the currency since the dollar peg ended a decade ago. The move by the PBOC comes amid growing signs of a deepening slowdown in the mainland economy. The PBOC said that the reference rate move was a one-time adjustment, and it will strengthen the market’s role in the fixing of the rate and promote the convergence of the onshore and offshore rates. Through 2016 the RMB continued its significant depreciation. This depreciation halted in 2017, and the RMB appreciated against the U.S. dollar during this one-year period. In 2018, the RMB exchange rate against the U.S. dollar depreciated significantly, mainly due to changes in political and economic conditions, including trade friction between China and the U.S. The exchange rates of the RMB against U.S. Dollar as of December 31, 2018 and 2017 were 6.8755 and 6.5063, respectively. With the development of the foreign exchange market and progress towards interest rate liberalization and Renminbi internationalization, the PRC government may in the future announce further changes to the exchange rate system and there is no guarantee that the RMB will not appreciate or depreciate significantly in value against the U.S. dollar in the future. It is difficult to predict how market forces or PRC or U.S. government policy may impact the exchange rate between the RMB and the U.S. dollar in the future.
