Item 5.  Ownership of Five Percent or Less of a Class.

 

If this statement is being filed to report the fact that as of the date hereof the reporting person has ceased to be the beneficial owner of more than five percent of the class of securities, check the following     .

 

Item 6.  Ownership of More than Five Percent on Behalf of Another Person.

 

The Shares are owned directly by Ariose China Growth Fund (the "Private Fund") and a separately managed account (the "Separately Managed Account" and together with the Private Fund, the "Accounts") that are managed and advised by the Manager and the Adviser, respectively. The Private Fund owns 2,549,475 Shares and the Separately Managed Account owns 350,010 Shares. The Accounts have the right to receive dividends from, as well as the proceeds from the sale of, the Shares.

 

Each of the Manager and the Adviser may be deemed to be a beneficial owner under Rule 13d-3 of the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "1934 Act"), of the Shares held by the Accounts, as, in their respective capacities as manager and adviser of the Accounts, they have the power to vote and dispose of, or direct the voting and disposition of, the Shares.

 

With respect to the Accounts, the Manager has delegated certain of its investment functions, duties, powers and discretion to the Adviser; however, the Manager may still be deemed to beneficially own the Shares under Rule 13d-3 of the 1934 Act. The Adviser is wholly-owned by the Manager, which in turn is wholly-owned by Mr. Yi Xin. As the sole shareholder and director of the Manager, Mr. Yi Xin may be deemed to beneficially own the Shares under Rule 13d-3 of the 1934 Act.
