ITEM 1.2

TERMINATION OF A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT


On April 1, 2012, the Registrant, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Hippo Lace Limited (“HLL”) entered into an agreement with Sino Wish Limited, a Hong Kong corporation (“Sino Wish”), to terminate the Franchise Agreement between HLL and Sino Wish dated March 1, 2010.  The original franchise agreement was signed by HLL for and on behalf of its affiliate, Legend Sun Limited (“Legend Sun”), and authorized Legend Sun, as  subfranchisor, to grant the right to Sino Wish, as subfranchisee, to operate a café restaurant carrying the name and trademark of Caffé Kenon at Shop # 208-209, Tai Yan Plaza, 181 Johnston Road, Wanchai, Hong Kong for a term of three years commencing from March 1, 2010 to February 28, 2013.  The Franchise Agreement was previously filed with the SEC as Exhibit 10.5 to the Registrant’s report on Form 8-K/A Amendment No. 1, filed on May 13, 2011.  


The Registrant made the decision to terminate the franchise agreement after its wholly-owned subsidiary, HLL, acquired all of the issued and outstanding common stock of Sino Wish pursuant to the terms of a Stock Purchase Agreement dated March 29, 2012.  The Stock Purchase Agreement was previously filed with the SEC as Exhibit 10.12 to the Registrant’s report on Form 8-K, filed on April 4, 2012.  


As a result of termination of its franchise agreement with HLL, Sino Wish was not required to pay the annual subfranchise fee that otherwise would have been due and payable to Legend Sun in April, 2012.  However, following termination of the franchise agreement with HLL, Sino Wish continued, as a wholly-owned subsidiary of HLL, to operate the same Caffe Kenon coffee shop under the terms of the Supplementary Franchise Agreement between HLL and Sizegenic Holdings Limited dated March 1, 2010.  As a result, HLL was still required to pay Sizegenic Holdings Limited the annual franchise fee due and payable pursuant to the terms of the Supplementary Franchise Agreement for the period from March 1, 2012 February 28, 2013.   The Supplementary Franchise Agreement was previously filed with the SEC as Exhibit 10.4 to the Registrant’s report on Form 8-K/A Amendment No. 1, filed on May 13, 2011.
