The Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Trunkbow, was established in the British Virgin Islands (“BVI”) on July 17, 2009, with no significant business operations and assets other than holding of equity interests in its subsidiaries and variable interest entities (“VIEs”).

Trunkbow Hong Kong established two wholly foreign owned subsidiaries in the PRC, Trunkbow Asia Pacific (Shandong) Company, Limited (“Trunkbow Shandong”) which was established on December 10, 2007 in Jinan, Shandong Province and Trunkbow Asia Pacific (Shenzhen) Company, Limited (“Trunkbow Shenzhen”) which was established on June 7, 2007 in Shenzhen, Guangdong Province.

Trunkbow Technologies (Shenzhen) Company, Limited (“Trunkbow Technologies”) was established as a limited liability company on December 4, 2001 in Shenzhen, Guangdong Province, the PRC. Trunkbow Technologies was formerly engaged in research and development of application platforms for mobile operators in China as well as wireless application systems for the international market. Beijing Delixunda Technology Co., Ltd (“Delixunda”) was established as a limited liability company on December 1, 2009 in Beijing, the PRC.

In December 2007, a series of agreements were entered into amongst Trunkbow Shandong, Trunkbow Technologies and its controlling shareholders, providing Trunkbow Shandong the ability to control Trunkbow Technologies, including its financial interest. In March 2011, a series of agreements were entered into amongst Trunkbow Shandong, Delixunda and its controlling shareholders, providing Trunkbow Shandong the ability to control Delixunda, including its financial interest. As a result of these contractual arrangements, which assigned all of Trunkbow Technologies and Delixunda’s equity owners’ rights and obligations to Trunkbow Shandong resulting in the equity owners lacking the ability to make decisions that have a significant effect on Trunkbow Technologies and Delixunda’s operations and Trunkbow Shandong’s ability to extract the profits from the operation of Trunkbow Technologies and Delixunda, and assume the Trunkbow Technologies and Delixunda’s residual benefits.
