Unit F, 12/F, Kaiser Estate Phase 1,

41 Man Yue Street, Hung Hom,

Kowloon, Hong Kong

Dear Sirs,

Re： | Consent of Long An & Lam LLP |

| 1. | We have acted as the Hong Kong counsel to Ctrl Group Limited (the “Company”), a company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands, in connection with: -

| (a) | the Company’s proposed initial public offering (the “IPO”) of [*] ordinary shares with a par value of $[*] per share of the Company (the “Ordinary Shares”), as set forth in the Company’s registration statement on Form F-1, including all amendments or supplements thereto (collectively, the “Registration Statement”) to be filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the U.S. Securities Act 1933, as amended (the “Act”) in relation to the IPO; and

| (b) | the Company’s proposed listing of the Ordinary Shares with the NASDAQ Capital Market.

| 2. | We have also acted as the Hong Kong counsel CTRL Media Limited (“CTRL HK”; and collectively with the Company, the “Group”), a subsidiary and the operating entity of the Company incorporated with limited liability in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People’s Republic of China (“Hong Kong”).

| 3. | We confirm that we are lawyers qualified to practice in Hong Kong and to give this legal opinion (the “Opinion”).

| 4. | For the purpose of this Opinion, we have carried out due diligence on CTRL HK, reviewed and examined copies of the Registration Statement, and such other documents as we have considered necessary or advisable for the purpose of rendering this Opinion, provided to us by the Company and CTRL HK or obtained through public searches (collectively the “Documents”). Where certain facts were not independently established and verified by us, we have relied upon statements made by, among others, appropriate representatives of the Company or CTRL HK.

| 5. | This Opinion is limited to and is given on the basis on the current laws of Hong Kong as at the date hereof. We have not made any investigation of, and do not express or imply any opinion on, the laws of any other jurisdiction other than the laws of Hong Kong as at the date hereof.

| 6. | Based on the due diligence results, CTRL HK has not passed a voluntary winding up resolution and no petition has been presented to or order made by any courts in Hong Kong for the winding up or administration of CTRL HK and that no receiver has been appointed in relation to CTRL HK or any of its assets or revenues.

| 7. | Subject to the Assumptions and Qualifications listed in the Schedule hereto and subject to any matters not disclosed to us, and having regard to such considerations of the laws of Hong Kong in force as at the date of this Opinion as we consider relevant, we are of the opinion that:

| (a) | the description of Hong Kong laws and the legal matters relating to the Company’s business activities in Hong Kong under the captions “PROSPECTUS SUMMARY”, “RISK FACTORS”, “BUSINESS”, “ENFORCEABILITY OF CIVIL LIABILITIES”, “REGULATION”, “TAXATION” and “LEGAL MATTERS” correctly and fairly summarize and describe the matters referred to therein as at the date hereof and are true and accurate in all material respects;

| (b) | nothing has been omitted from such description which would make the same misleading in any material aspect; and

| (c) | in relation to the enforceability of People's Republic of China (the “PRC”) national laws in Hong Kong:

| (i) | As disclosed in the Registration Statement, Hong Kong is a special administrative region of the PRC and the basic policies of the PRC regarding Hong Kong are reflected in the Basic Law of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (the “Basic Law”), which is a national law of the PRC and constitutional document for Hong Kong. The Basic Law provides Hong Kong with a high degree of autonomy and executive, legislative and independent judicial powers, including that of final adjudication under the principle of “one country, two systems.

2

| (ii) | Pursuant to the Basic Law, national laws of the PRC shall not be applied in Hong Kong except for those listed in Annex III of the Basic Law and applied locally by promulgation or local legislation. The Basic Law expressly provides that the national laws of the PRC which may be listed in Annex III of the Basic Law shall be confined to those relating to defense and foreign affairs as well as other matters outside the autonomy of Hong Kong. Whilst the National People’s Congress of the PRC has the power to amend the Basic Law, the Basic Law also expressly provides that no amendment to the Basic Law shall contravene the established basic policies of the PRC regarding Hong Kong. As a result, national laws of the PRC not listed in Annex III of the Basic Law, including but not limited to, the PRC Data Security Law, the Trial Administrative Measures of Overseas Securities Offering and Listing by Domestic Companies, and the PRC Personal Information Protection Law do not apply to our Hong Kong-based businesses. Therefore, these regulatory actions should not have material effect on the operations of CTRL HK and the Group as a whole.

| (iii) | Whilst we acknowledge the regulatory uncertainty with respect to the implementation and interpretation of the laws and regulations of the PRC and the risks that the PRC government may exert more control over the affairs of Hong Kong through long arm provisions under the current laws and regulations and future legislations, as disclosed in the Registration Statement, could materially affect the operations of CTRL HK and the Group as a whole if they become applicable to CTRL HK. However, such risks should be assessed in the context of the Basic Law and the restrictions imposed on Annex III thereto, as explained above.

| (iv) | In summary, PRC national laws do not apply to Hong Kong unless specifically set out in Annex III of the Basic Law of Hong Kong.

| 8. | This Opinion is delivered solely for the purpose of and in connection with the Registration Statement publicly filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on the date of this Opinion and may not be used for any other purpose without our prior written consent.

| 9. | We hereby consent to the use of this Consent Letter in, and the filing hereof as an exhibit to, the Registration Statement, and to the reference to our name in such Registration Statement. In giving such consent, we do not thereby admit that we come within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Act, or the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

Yours faithfully,

/s/ LONG AN & LAM LLP
