NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1 — Organization and Plan of Business Operations

China Growth Equity Investment Ltd. (the “Company”) is a Cayman Islands limited life exempted company organized as a blank check company for the purpose of acquiring, through a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, plan of arrangement, recapitalization, reorganization or similar business combination, an operating business, or control of an operating business through contractual arrangements, that has its principal business and/or material operations located in the People’s Republic of China.

The accompanying condensed financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principals for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principals generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the accompanying condensed financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals and adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company at the dates and for the periods indicated. The interim results for the period ended June 30, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full 2011 fiscal year or any other future interim periods, as more fully described in the annual report elsewhere in this registration statement.

Note 2 — Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Geographical Risk

The Company’s operations, if a Business Combination is consummated outside the United States, will be subject to local government regulations and to the uncertainties of the economic and political conditions of those areas.

Investments Held in Trust

Investments held in trust are comprised of U.S. Treasury Bills and are classified as held to maturity and carried at amortized cost as management has the positive intent and ability to hold them to maturity. Interest income is recognized on the amortization of the purchase premium or discount on the level-yield basis.

- 6 -

Income Taxes

The Company was incorporated as a Cayman Island exempted company and therefore the Company is not currently subject to income tax. Upon consummation of an acquisition as contemplated, the Company may be subject to income tax depending on the jurisdiction of the merged entity’s operations.

Redeemable Common Stock

The Company accounts for redeemable common stock in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 480-10-S99 “Classification and Measurement of Redeemable Securities” which provides that securities that are redeemable for cash or other assets are classified outside of permanent equity if they are redeemable at the option of the holder. In addition, if the redemption causes a liquidation event, the redeemable securities should not be classified outside of permanent equity.

Although the Company does not specify a maximum redemption threshold, its Amended and Restated Articles Incorporation provides that in no event will the Company redeem its public shares in an amount that would cause its shareholders’ equity to be less than $5,000,001. The Company recognizes changes in the redemption value immediately as they occur and adjusts the carrying value of the redeemable common stock to equal its redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Increases or decreases in the carrying amount of redeemable common stock shall be affected by charges against paid-in capital. Accordingly, 4,360,086 shares of common stock sold in the offering are classified outside of permanent equity at redemption value.

Basic and Diluted Loss per Share

Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share is computed similarly to basic loss per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional ordinary shares that would have been outstanding if the potential ordinary shares had been issued and if the additional ordinary shares were dilutive. For all periods presented 8,966,667 warrants to purchase ordinary shares have been excluded from the computation of potentially dilutive securities as they are antidilutive.

The 1,955,000 ordinary shares issued to the Company’s Initial Shareholders were issued for $25,000, which is considerably less than the Offering per share price; such shares have been assumed to be retroactively outstanding for the period since inception.

Note 3 — Initial Public Offering

The registration statement for the Company's initial public offering (the "Offering") was declared effective on May 26, 2011. On June 2, 2011, the Company sold 5,000,000 Units, at an Offering price of $10.00 per unit, generating gross proceeds of $50,000,000. Each Unit consists of one ordinary share, $0.001 par value, of the Company and one Redeemable Purchase Warrant (“Warrant”). Each Warrant will entitle the holder to purchase from the Company one ordinary share at an exercise price of $12.00 commencing upon the consummation of a business combination with an operating business that has its principal business and/or material operations located in the People's Republic of China (the "Business Combination") and expiring five years from the consummation of a Business Combination. The Company may redeem the Warrants, at a price of $.01 per Warrant upon 30 days notice while the Warrants are exercisable, only in the event that the last sale price of the ordinary shares is at least $18.00 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30 trading day period ending on the third day prior to the date on which notice of redemption is given. In accordance with the warrant agreement relating to the Warrants to be sold and issued in the Offering, the Company is only required to use its best efforts to maintain the effectiveness of the registration statement covering the Warrants. The Company will not be obligated to deliver securities, and there are no contractual penalties for failure to deliver securities, if a registration statement is not effective at the time of exercise. Additionally, in the event that a registration is not effective at the time of exercise, the holder of such Warrant shall not be entitled to exercise such Warrant and in no event (whether in the case of a registration statement not being effective or otherwise) will the Company be required to net cash settle the warrant exercise. Consequently, the Warrants may expire unexercised and unredeemed.

- 7 -

In connection with the Offering the Company granted the underwriters a 45-day option to purchase up to 750,000 additional Units solely to cover over-allotments. On July 28, 2011 the underwriters did not exercise the over-allotment option and it expired.

The total underwriting fee will be 7.0%; 2.5% was paid upon completion of the Offering and 4.5% comprised of (1) 2.25% of the gross proceeds of the Offering reduced by the aggregate redemption price of the public shares redeemed in connection with the consummation of the Company’s initial Business Combination, up to $1,125,000 will be automatically released to the underwriters upon completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination, and (2) up to 2.25% of the gross proceeds of this offering, up to a maximum of $1,125,000 payable to the underwriters at the Company’s sole discretion.

On June 2, 2011, certain of the initial stockholders purchased an aggregate of 3,966,667 warrants (the “Insider Warrants”) from the Company in a private placement pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Insider Warrants were sold for a total purchase price of $2,975,000 or $0.75 per warrant. The private placement took place simultaneously with the consummation of the Offering. All of the proceeds received from this purchase were placed in the Trust Account. The Insider Warrants are identical to the Warrants in the Offering except that the Insider Warrants may be exercisable for cash or on a cashless basis, at the holder’s option, and will not be redeemable by the Company, in each case so long as such securities are held by the Insiders or their affiliates. Additionally, all Insiders have waived their rights to receive distributions upon the Company’s liquidation prior to a Business Combination with respect to the Insider Shares. Furthermore, all Insiders have agreed that the Insider Warrants will not be sold or transferred until 30 days after the Company has completed its initial Business Combination.

Note 4 — Investments Held in Trust

A total of $50,250,000, which includes $47,275,000 of the net proceeds from the Public Offering and $2,975,000 from the private placement, was placed in the Trust Account.

As of June 30, 2011, investment securities in the Company’s Trust Account consist of $50,249,801 in U.S. government treasury bills with a maturity of September 1, 2011 and another $199 of cash. The carrying amount, excluding accrued interest income, gross unrealized holding gains and fair value of held-to-maturity securities at June 30, 2011 are as follows:

			Gross
			Unrealized
	Carrying		Holding
	Amount		Gains		Fair Value
Cash	$	199	$		$	199

Note 5 — Related Party

The Company entered into an unsecured promissory note with an officer of the Company in an aggregate principal amount of $200,000. The note did not bear interest and was payable upon the completion of the Proposed Offering. $19,900 of interest was imputed on the note at 7% and charged to additional paid-in capital. The discount was amortized to interest expense on a monthly basis. Interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 was $4,421 and $3,449, respectively. Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and the periods from January 18, 2010 (inception) to June 30, 2010 and June 30, 2011 was $7,739, $5,749, and $19,900, respectively. The loan was repaid in full in June 2011 with proceeds from the Offering.

The Company has agreed to pay Chum Capital Group Limited a total of $10,000 per month for office space, utilities, secretarial and general and administrative services for a period commencing June 2, 2011 and ending on the earlier of the consummation by the Company of an initial Business Combination or the Company’s liquidation. Chum Capital Group Limited is an affiliate of Xuesong Song, Jin Shi and Michael W. Zhang, the Company’s executives. Total expenses related to office space, utilities, secretarial and general and administrative services for the six months ended June 30, 2011 was $10,000.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

References to the “Company,” “us” or “we” refer to China Growth Equity Investment Ltd. The following discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the condensed financial statements and the notes thereto contained elsewhere in this report. Certain information contained in the discussion and analysis set forth below includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties.

Overview

We are a Cayman Islands limited life exempted company formed on January 18, 2010 and organized as a blank check company for the purpose of acquiring, through a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, plan of arrangement, recapitalization, reorganization or similar business combination, an operating business, or control of an operating business through contractual arrangements, that has its principal business and/or material operations located in the People’s Republic of China.

Results of Operations

Through June 30, 2011, our efforts have been limited to organizational activities, activities relating to our initial public offering, activities relating to identifying and evaluating prospective acquisition candidates and activities relating to general corporate matters. We have not generated any revenues, other than interest income earned on the proceeds held in the Company’s trust account (the “Trust Account”). As of June 30, 2011, $50,250,000 was held in the Trust Accountt (including $2,250,000 of deferred underwriting discounts and commissions and $2,975,000 from the sale of the Insider Warrants) and we had cash outside of trust of $971,055 and $151,982 in accounts payable and accrued expenses. Through June 30, 2011, we had not withdrawn any funds from interest earned on the proceeds in trust. Other than the deferred underwriting discounts and commissions, no amounts are payable to the underwriters of our initial public offering in the event of a business combination. For the period from January 18, 2010 (inception) through June 30, 2011, we had a net loss of $116,093.

We have agreed to pay Chum Capital Group, an entity owned and controlled by our Chairman and Chief Financial Officer, a total of $10,000 per month for office space, administrative services and secretarial support. For the period from January 18, 2010 (inception) to June 30, 2011 we have incurred $10,000 for these costs.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of June 30, 2011, we had cash of $971,055 and $50,250,000 investment held in trust. Until the consummation of our initial public offering our only source of liquidity was the initial purchase of our ordinary shares by Chum Capital Group and two of our directors, Mr. Xuechu He and Mr. Teng Zhou, (the “Founders”) and an advance of $200,000 made by Chum Capital Group (the “Sponsor”) pursuant to a promissory note.

On June 2, 2011, we consummated our initial public offering of 5,000,000 units at a price of $10.00 per unit. Simultaneously with the consummation of our initial public offering, we consummated the private sale of 3,966,667 warrants (the “Insider Warrants”) to certain of our Founders for $2,975,000. We received net proceeds from our initial public offering and the sale of the Insider Warrants of approximately $51,145,172, net of the non-deferred portion of the underwriting commissions of $1,250,000 and offering costs and other expenses of approximately $579,828

We will depend on sufficient interest being earned on the proceeds held in the Trust Accountt to provide us with additional working capital we may need to identify one or more target businesses, conduct due diligence and complete our initial business combination, as well as to pay any franchise and income taxes that we may owe. As described elsewhere in this Report, the amounts in the Trust Account may be invested only in U.S. government treasury bills with a maturity of 180 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act. The current low interest rate environment may make it more difficult for such investments to generate sufficient funds, together with the amounts available outside the Trust Account, to locate, conduct due diligence, structure, negotiate and close our Initial Business Combination. If we are required to seek additional capital, we would need to borrow funds from our Founders or management team to operate or may be forced to liquidate. Neither our Founders nor our management team is under any obligation to advance funds to us in such circumstances. Any such loans would be repaid only from funds held outside the Trust Account or from funds released to us upon completion of our Initial Business Combination. If we are unable to complete our Initial Business Combination because we do not have sufficient funds available to us, we will be forced to cease operations and liquidate the Trust Account.

Off-balance sheet financing arrangements

We have no obligations, assets or liabilities which would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements. We do not participate in transactions that create relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, often referred to as variable interest entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements.

We have not entered into any off-balance sheet financing arrangements, established any special purpose entities, guaranteed any debt or commitments of other entities, or entered into any non-financial assets.

Contractual obligations

We do not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations or long-term liabilities other than a monthly fee of $10,000 for office space, administrative services and secretarial support payable to Chum Capital Group, an entity owned and controlled by the Company’s Chairman and Chief Financial Officer. We began incurring this fee on June 2, 2011 and will continue to incur this fee monthly until the earlier of the completion of the Business Combination and the Company’s liquidation.

Recent accounting pronouncements

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We were incorporated in the Cayman Islands on January 18, 2011 for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more operating businesses in China. We were considered in the development stage at June 30, 2011 and had not yet commenced any operations. All activity through June 30, 2011 relates to our formation, our initial public offering and seeking a target business. We did not have any financial instruments that were exposed to market risks at June 30, 2011.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.

Use of Proceeds from our Public Offering

On June 2, 2011, we consummated our Public Offering of 5,000,000 units, with each unit consisting of one share of our common stock and one warrant to purchase one share of our common stock at an exercise price of $12.00 per share. The warrants will become exercisable on the later of (i) 30 days after the completion of the Business Combination and (ii) 12 months from the closing of the Public Offering. The warrants expire five years after the completion of the Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation. Once the warrants become exercisable, the warrants will be redeemable in whole and not in part at a price of $0.01 per warrant upon a minimum of 30 days’ notice if, and only if, the last sale price of our common stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30 trading day period ending on the third business day before we send the notice of redemption. The units in the public offering were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per unit, generating total gross proceeds of $50,000,000. Deutsche Bank Securities, acted as sole book running manager and as representative of Morgan Joseph TriArtisan and Rodman & Renshaw, LLC (together, the “Underwriters”). The securities sold in the offering were registered under the Securities Act on a registration statement on Form S-1 (No. 333-173323). The SEC declared the registration statement effective on May 26, 2011.

We paid a total of $3,500,000 in underwriting discounts and commissions and approximately $579,828 for other costs and expenses related to the offering. In addition, the Underwriters agreed to defer $2,250,000 in underwriting discounts and commissions, which amount will be payable upon consummation of the Business Combination if consummated. We also repaid Chum Capital Group $200,000 in satisfaction of an outstanding promissory note after the closing of our initial public offering.

We also consummated the simultaneous private sale of 3,966,667 Insider Warrants to certain of our Founders at a price of $0.75 per warrant (for an aggregate purchase price of $2,975,000). The Insider Warrants (including the common stock issuable upon exercise of the Insider Warrants) are not transferable, assignable or salable until 30 days after the completion of the Business Combination (except, among certain other limited exceptions, to our officers and directors and other persons or entities affiliated with the members of our Insider) and they will not be redeemable by the Company so long as they are held by members of our Insider or their permitted transferees. Otherwise, the Insider Warrants have terms and provisions that are identical to those of our warrants traded publicly, except that the Insider Warrants may be exercised by the holders on a cashless basis. The sale of the Insider Warrants was made pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.

After deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions (excluding the deferred portion of $2,250,000 in underwriting discounts and commissions, which amount will be payable upon consummation of the Business Combination if consummated) and the estimated offering expenses, the total net proceeds from our Public Offering and the private placement of Insider Warrants was approximately $51,145,172 of which $50,250,000 (or approximately $10.05 per unit sold in the Public Offering) was placed in the Trust Account.
