# We may be adversely affected if our competitors consolidate or enter into strategic alliances.

Our industry is capital intensive and requires substantial investments in manufacturing, machinery, research and development, product design, engineering, technology and marketing in order to meet both consumer demands and regulatory requirements. Large companies are able to benefit from economies of scale by leveraging their investments and activities on a global basis across brands. If our competitors consolidate or enter into strategic alliances, they may be able to benefit more from larger economies of scale. In addition, our competitors could use consolidation or alliances as a means of enhancing their competitiveness or liquidity position. Any such consolidation or strategic alliance by our competitors could materially and adversely affect our business and prospects.

# Any negative impact on the transportation of our products and raw materials could adversely affect our business and operational condition.

We depend on a combination of sea and land transportation to obtain our raw materials and deliver products to our customers. If we cannot secure sea and land transportation necessary for the delivery of raw materials to us and our products to our customers, or if we are unable to secure economically-feasible alternative methods to transport our products and raw materials during disruptions of transportation systems which are beyond our control, our results of operations may be adversely affected. Any disruption of raw material supply may interrupt our production and could have a negative effect on the competitiveness of our products and our financial condition.

# Our labor costs may increase for reasons such as the implementation of more stringent requirements regarding fixed-term employment, the minimum wage and paid annual leave.

In 2011, 2012, 2013 and the six months ended June 30, 2014, our labor costs in cost of sales were RMB68.2 million, RMB153.2 million, RMB520.4 million and RMB706.0 million, respectively, accounting for 3.6%, 4.2%, 4.2% and 3.3% of our cost of sales for the same periods.

There have been instances of shortages in the labor supply in industries, including manufacturing, in the PRC. In the event of future labor shortages, we may have difficulties recruiting or retaining labor for our production facilities or may face increasing labor costs. In such event, our business and results of operations may be adversely affected. If there is a shortage of labor, or for any reason labor costs in the PRC rise significantly, our expenses are likely to increase, which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

In addition, labor costs in the PRC are generally expected to increase. As a result of the PRC Labor Contract Law ( ) which became effective on January 1, 2008, the requirements on employers in relation to entry into fixed and non-fixed term employment contracts, and dismissal of employees and the minimum wage requirement became more stringent. In addition, the National Leisure and Tourism Outline 2013-2020 ( ) (the “Tourism Outline”) which became effective on February 2, 2013 sets a more detailed timetable regarding the mandatory annual leave requirement introduced by the Regulations on Paid Annual Leave for Employees ( ), which became effective on January 1, 2008, and according to the Tourism Outline, all workers in the PRC must be provided with paid annual leave by 2020.

# Our manufacturing and other operational activities may be adversely affected if there are failures in, or inefficient management of, our information technology system.

Our information technology system forms a key part of our production, sales and marketing process and any disruptions to it will likely have a negative impact on our operations. We cannot
