Kandal M Venture Limited

Cricket Square Hutchins Drive

PO Box 2681

Grand Cayman KY1-1111

Cayman Islands

 

Dear Sirs,

 

Re: Project Pocketbook

 

We have acted as Cambodian counsel for Kandal M Venture Limited, a company incorporated in the Cayman Islands, in connection with a registration statement on form F-1 to be filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (on or about the date hereof) (the “Registration Statement”) for the proposed listing of the shares of Kandal M Venture Limited on the NASDAQ Stock Market (the “Proposed Listing”) wherein we have been instructed to provide a legal opinion on its subsidiary, FMF Manufacturing Co., Ltd. (the “Company”), incorporated under the laws of the Kingdom of Cambodia, regarding the Company’s incorporation and certain other Cambodian law matters related to the Company, as stated herein (the “Legal Opinion”).

 

1.Basis of Opinion

 

(a)This Legal Opinion is limited to the laws of the Kingdom of Cambodia of general application at the date of this Legal Opinion, as currently applied by the courts and regulatory authorities of the Kingdom of Cambodia and is given on the basis that it will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Kingdom of Cambodia. We have made no investigation of, and do not express or imply any views on, the laws of any country other than the Kingdom of Cambodia. There is no guarantee that any laws of the Kingdom of Cambodia, or the interpretation or enforcement thereof, will not be changed, amended or replaced in the immediate future or in the longer term with or without retrospective effect.

 

(b)Our opinion is limited to matters concerning the Company and we express no opinion on any matters relating to Kandal M Venture Limited.

 

(c)For the purposes of rendering this Legal Opinion, we have examined only the following documents (together, the “Information Sources”):

 

(i)a copy of the documents as disclosed to us by the Company as set out in Annex 1 attached to this Legal Opinion (collectively, the “Related Documents”);

 

(ii)the results of an online corporate search obtained on the Company’s particulars registered in the online database of the Ministry of Commerce (the “MOC”) on 23 October 2024 (the “Online Company Search”); and

 

 

Page 2

 

(iii)the results of an online search of secured transactions registered against the Company with the Secured Transaction Filing Office (the “STFO”) on 23 October 2024 (the “Online STFO Search”);

 

(d)We have not undertaken any searches or enquiries, other than the Online Company Search and the Online STFO Search and we have not undertaken any physical inspection of any object, asset or property of the Company.

 

(e)For the purposes of this Legal Opinion, we have reviewed and examined the Information Sources and we have considered such laws, regulations and practices as we have deemed necessary to consider in this regard.

 

2.Assumptions

 

In giving this Legal Opinion, we have made the following assumptions (which we have not independently verified or made any investigation thereof) that:

 

(a)the execution, delivery and performance of the Related Documents and the transaction arising therefrom are within the capacity and powers of the relevant parties and have been validly authorised, executed and delivered, by each of the parties thereto under the laws of their respective jurisdiction of incorporation or registration, as the case may be;

 

(b)the relevant parties have the power and the corporate authorisations to perform its obligations under the Related Documents and the transaction arising therefrom and to enforce the Related Documents under the laws of their respective jurisdiction of incorporation, as the case may be;

 

(c)the genuineness of all signatures, seals, stamps and markings on all documents and the completeness, and all Related Documents provided to us as copies (including electronic copies) conform to the originals;

 

(d)all Related Documents are authentic and that the information therein remains current, true and correct, and there is no information or material relevant to the Company other than the Related Documents;

 

(e)the Related Documents have not been entered into by reason or in consequence (whether wholly or in part) of fraud, mistake, duress, undue influence, misrepresentation or any other similar act, matter or thing which would or might vitiate or prejudicially affect the Related Documents, or otherwise entitle the parties thereto to avoid, rescind or have rectified the Related Documents to which they are a party or any of its obligations under the Documents to which they are a party;

 

(f)the obligations of each party under the Related Documents are valid and legal obligations binding on such party and are not subject to any avoidance by any person under any applicable laws and insofar as the said documents relate to actions to be performed in any jurisdiction other than the Kingdom of Cambodia, such performance will not be illegal or ineffective by reason of the laws of that jurisdiction;

(i)that all other documents or agreements referred to in the Related Documents which may affect the legality, validity and enforceability of the Related Documents are themselves legal, valid and enforceable on their respective terms;

 

(j)there is no other agreement, instrument or other arrangement between any of the parties to the Related Documents which modifies or supersedes the Related Documents respectively and there are no facts or other circumstances or acts or omissions in relation to any Related Document or in respect of any party to a Related Document that may render a Related Document or any part of it void or voidable or affect any of its terms;

(t)there is no discharge of hazardous waste and pollution from the Company’s factory and all waste disposal and discharge complies with all technical requirements and restrictions set out in all applicable environmental protection regulations and the environmental impact assessment approved by the relevant government authorities;

 

(u)the records of the Company on file and available for inspection in the MOC’s online system are accurate, that the information disclosed by the Online Company Search is true and complete, that such information has not since then been altered and that such search did not fail to disclose any information or matter that has been delivered for registration but did not appear on the MOC’s online database at the date of the search;

 

(v)the records on file and available for inspection at the STFO are accurate, that the information disclosed by the Online STFO Search is true and complete, that such information has not since then been altered and that such search did not fail to disclose any information or matter that has been delivered for registration but did not appear on the STFO’s database at the date of the search;

 

(w)in relation to the Leased Property (as defined below):

 

(i)the certificates of title for the Leased Property have been validly issued by the relevant land authority and the relevant lessors under the lease agreement dated 2 January 2017 listed as item 15 of Annex 1 (the “Lease”), are duly recorded in the relevant land office’s records as the registered land owners of the Leased Property;

The making of each of the above assumptions indicates that we have assumed that the subject of each assumption is true, correct, and complete in every way. The assumptions that we have made in this Legal Opinion do not imply that we have made any enquiry to verify an assumption, but we confirm nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe any of the assumptions is not true, correct, or complete. No assumption is limited by any other assumption.

 

3.Opinion

 

Based solely on our review of the Information Sources, on the basis of the foregoing and subject to the qualifications set out below, we are of the opinion that:

 

(a)the Company is duly incorporated under the laws of the Kingdom of Cambodia as a single member private limited company on 5 April 2017, and is validly and continuously existing under the laws of the Kingdom of Cambodia;

 

(b)the Company is a separate legal person with the capacity to take legal action in its own name and be sued in its own name under the laws of the Kingdom of Cambodia;

 

(c)the M&A has been duly endorsed by the Council for the Development of Cambodia (“CDC”) on 9 May 2018 and by the MOC on 7 June 2018, and the M&A is in compliance with the Cambodian Law on Commercial Enterprises dated 19 June 2005 (the “LCE”);

 

 

Page 6

 

(d)the Company was granted a final registration certificate for its qualified investment project from the CDC on 12 April 2017;

 

(e)according to the M&A and the extract of Company’s information from the MOC’s website no. MOC-B2460798 dated 16 January 2024 (item 3 of Annex 1) (the “Company Extract”), the registered share capital of the Company is United States Dollar One Million (USD1,000,000), comprising of one thousand (1,000) shares each having a par value of United States Dollar One Thousand (USD1,000), all of which were, at incorporation of the Company, issued to Prospect Focus Limited and as at the date of this Legal Opinion, have been fully paid;

 

(f)under Article 146 of the LCE, a share shall not be issued until the share is fully paid in cash, in kind or past services and, apart from the full payment of the registered capital, there is no explicit requirement under Cambodian law for the shareholder of a limited liability company registered in the Kingdom of Cambodia to pay for its share capital within a particular timeframe;

 

(g)according to the M&A and the Company Extract, the registered business objective of the Company is investment in bag factory and the business activities include tanning and dressing of leather, manufacture of other luggage, handbags, ureau, and harness and dressing and dyeing of fur (the “Business Activity”);

 

(h)the Company has the legal right, power and authority to lease its properties and own, lease and operate its assets (excluding land) and conduct the Business Activity;

 

(i)the Company has obtained the material licences, consents, approvals, authorisations, certificates and permits necessary to undertake the Business Activity, as listed in item 9 to 14 of Annex 1, and those licences, consents, approvals, authorisations, certificates and permits are valid as at the date of this Legal Opinion;

 

(j)based on the Related Documents, the Company in conducting the Business Activity will not in all material respects conflict with, or constitute a default under or violate a Cambodian law;

 

(k)in accordance with the provisions of the Lease in relation to the leased of plots of land located at Battachi Village, Prekho Commune, Takhmao Municipality, Kandal Province, Kingdom of Cambodia with a total land size of Thirteen Thousand Seven Hundred Fifty Nine (13,759) square meter which also consists of two (2) factory buildings (the “Leased Property”) and to the extent permitted by applicable Cambodian law, during the term of the Lease, the Company, as lessee, has exclusive possession of the Leased Property and is not prohibited from using the Leased Property as an office and/or for factory and/or production facilities and/or any other activities in relation to the Business Activity and neither is such use prohibited under Cambodian law;

(o)the description of applicable Cambodian laws and material contracts as entered into by the Company in the Registration Statement is accurate.

 

4.Qualifications

 

This Legal Opinion is subject to and modified by the following qualifications. All the qualifications reflected below shall apply to this Legal Opinion:

 

(a)the opinions expressed in this Legal Opinion are based only on matters disclosed to us through the Related Documents;

 

(b)certain opinions expressed in this Legal Opinion are based, whether wholly or in part, on the information obtained during the Online Company Search and the Online STFO Search and should only be relied on as at the date such searches were undertaken;

 

(c)documents and information obtained through the Online Company Search and the Online STFO Search may not be accurate, complete or up to date as at the date of those searches and any reliance placed on them (including in this Legal Opinion) is subject to this qualification and additionally, the results of the Online STFO Search are limited to only the STFO filings which have been registered since the new STFO website was upgraded in early 2016 and do not capture any prior STFO filings or notices;

 

(d)in respect of the continuing existence of the Company, we have relied on the search carried out at the online system of the MOC wherein limited corporate information of the Company will be revealed and such search will not reveal whether or not a winding-up petition has been presented against the Company other than the fact that the Company has yet to be struck out from the records of the MOC;

 

(e)there is no public registry or composite records available to be searched on winding up proceedings and/orders in the Kingdom of Cambodia and it is not possible to conduct searches to ascertain definitively whether a winding up application has been submitted or processed in the Kingdom of Cambodia;

 

 

Page 8

 

(f)the concept of “good standing” does not exist within the legal framework of the Kingdom of Cambodia and there is no centralized measure to conduct searches to confirm whether a company has complied with all the regulatory requirements and obtained all relevant permits, approvals or licenses issued by the Royal Government of Cambodia or the relevant Cambodian authorities and that such permits, approvals and licenses have not been revoked, suspended or amended;

 

(g)there is no centralized or other public database or information source to conduct court searches in the Kingdom of Cambodia (which are not, therefore, a matter of public record);

 

(h)with respect to the registration procedures applicable to the licensing of corporate matters by the Cambodian authorities, such procedures may not be relied upon as formal standardized procedures and may vary over time and change without notice. In practice, specific restrictions may also apply from time to time to registration or notification procedures, subject to interpretation of Cambodian laws and regulations by Cambodian authorities or institutions, or upon the establishment of new procedures or administrative regulations;

 

(i)while there is typically an official timeline for each governmental authority to issue licences, consents, approvals, authorisations, certificates and/or permits, the actual approval timeline is subject to the sole discretion of the competent authority. Similarly, the competent authority may, from time to time and on a case by case basis, require an applicant to submit documents that are not part of the standard application documents;

 

(j)we express no opinion in respect of the conduct of the actual business activities carried out by the Company or on the Company’s products or services to confirm their compliance with the relevant laws and regulations;

 

(k)under Cambodian law, there is no distinction between land and buildings. Under Cambodian law, land includes all buildings, structures and fixtures attached to land. Consequently, no separate certificate of title is issued for any building attached to land;

 

(l)the Ministry of Land Management, Urban Planning and Construction and relevant competent authorities exercise a significant degree of discretion in interpreting construction regulations and determining whether a building complies with all technical requirements and restrictions;

 

(m)the Ministry of Environment and the relevant competent authorities exercise a significant degree of discretion in interpreting environmental regulations and determining whether a company is subject to the environmental impact assessment requirements;

 

(n)we have not carried out any tax due diligence or audit on the Company and are not in a position to verify whether the Company has complied with all tax obligations under Cambodian laws;

 

 

Page 9

 

(o)the opinions expressed in this Legal Opinion are based on publicly available Cambodian laws and regulations as at the date of this Legal Opinion and on our understanding of established practices of relevant Cambodian governmental authorities;

 

(p)the laws of the Kingdom of Cambodia is not always published or publicly available and may from time to time be amended, modified, replaced or supplemented by unpublished regulations or executive decisions;

 

(q)any governmental applied practice may at times be inconsistent with the express words of the laws of the Kingdom of Cambodia, or the reasonable interpretation of the laws of the Kingdom of Cambodia, and may change over time. Applied practice is not generally reduced to writing, thus a practice may be currently in effect, and we may not have access to or knowledge of this guidance;

 

(r)the decisions of courts or official bodies are generally not published or written. Thus, it is possible that a law of the Kingdom of Cambodia may be interpreted by a court or official body, but we would have no access to or knowledge of this guidance;

 

(s)the expressions “valid and binding” and “enforceable” as used above mean that the obligations assumed or to be assumed by the Company under the Related Documents are of a type which the courts of the Kingdom of Cambodia will generally treat as valid and binding, and will generally enforce. It does not mean that those obligations will necessarily be enforced in all circumstances in accordance with their terms and we express no opinion with respect to the prospects of any claim or proceeding by or against the Company;

 

(t)the question whether any term or condition of the Related Documents which is invalid or unenforceable may be severed from other provisions is determined at the discretion of the courts;

 

(u)a certificate, determination, notification or opinion of the parties may be held by the Cambodian courts not to be conclusive if it could be shown to have an unreasonable or arbitrary basis or in the event of manifest error;

 

(v)any provision of the Related Documents that provides for certain calculations, determinations or certificates will be conclusive and binding will not apply if such calculations, determinations or certificates are incorrect, unreasonable, arbitrary or have not been made in good faith;

 

(w)a provision that any statement, opinion, determination or other matter is final and conclusive will not necessarily prevent judicial enquiry into the merits of a claim by an aggrieved party;

 

(x)if any obligation is to be performed in a jurisdiction outside the Kingdom of Cambodia, it may not be enforceable in the Kingdom of Cambodia to the extent that performance would be illegal or contrary to public policy under the laws of the other jurisdiction and a court in the Kingdom of Cambodia may take into account the law of the place of performance in relation to the manner of performance and to the steps to be taken in the event of defective performance;

 

 

Page 10

 

(y)in accordance with the Civil Code of Cambodia, a contract is considered null and void if its content is inconsistent with mandatory provisions of law, public order and good customs. These concepts are not clearly defined under Cambodian law and we are not aware of any case law on this issue;

 

(z)although Cambodian laws do not impose any restriction on the choice of law governing an agreement or transaction, current judicial practice indicates that Cambodian courts may be unwilling or unable to recognize or give effect to the laws of any jurisdiction other than Cambodia;

 

(aa)we express no opinion on any provision which provides that oral or other modifications, amendments or waivers could not effectively be agreed upon or granted between or by the parties;

 

(bb)we have not made any independent investigation with respect to the factual matters which are subject to any assumption in this opinion or any statement of fact or status set out in this Legal Opinion;

 

(cc)we express no opinion as to any agreement, instrument or other document other than as specified in this Legal Opinion;

 

(dd)our reviews are specific to the opinions stated herein, which is limited to legal aspects only. We have only considered the laws and regulations stated in this Legal Opinion and the facts given to us when rendering our opinion herein and specifically we express no opinion as to:

 

(i)matters of fact, except as specifically addressed above;

 

(ii)the existence of rights of set-off, counterclaims, liens, charges and encumbrances, except as noted in the Online STFO Search;

 

(iii)tax or financial matters and all other matters which are within the scope of expertise of other advisers, such as auditors, accountants, merchant bankers, tax advisors and environmental specialists;

 

(iv)whether any provisions in a document regarding the effectiveness of deemed notices would be enforceable where the person relying on such provisions is aware that such notice has not in fact been delivered or received; or

 

(v)the enforceability of concepts, terminology, formulations and approaches which have no direct equivalent under the laws of the jurisdiction in or under which the obligation is to be performed;

 

(ee)we are qualified to practice law in the Kingdom of Cambodia and do not purport to be an expert on, or express any opinion as to any law outside the Kingdom of Cambodia; and

 

(ff)we have not considered nor made any undertaking to update this opinion, for any information or any laws of Kingdom of Cambodia or applied practice that may come into effect or may become generally available knowledge after the date of this Legal Opinion.

 

 

Page 11

 

5.Benefit:

 

This Legal Opinion is addressed to Kandal M Venture Limited and is solely for Kandal M Venture Limited’s benefit. It is not to be transmitted to, nor is it to be relied upon, by any other person or for any other purpose or quoted or referred to in any public document or filed with any governmental agency or other person without our prior written consent.

 

Notwithstanding the above, we hereby consent for Kandal M Venture Limited to:

 

(a)provide copies of this Legal Opinion to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with the Proposed Listing, if so requested by U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission; and/or

 

(b)file this Legal Opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement,

 

strictly on the basis that (i) we do not assume any duty or liability to any person or entity to whom such copy is provided, (ii) such person or entity agrees not to further disclose this opinion or its contents to any other person or entity without our prior written consent and (iii) there is no legal obligation and undertaking for us to update this opinion for any change of information or laws of the Kingdom of Cambodia or applied practice which occurs or becomes known to us or came into force after the date of this Legal Opinion.

 

This opinion is strictly limited to the matters stated in it and does not apply by implication to any other matter.

 

Yours faithfully
