 locations and overall dining experience. Many of our competitors are chain restaurant operators who possess an abundance of financial and operational resources, enjoy economies of scale and have established prominent market position and brand recognition, with which they can significantly boost their competitive advantage. Any failure to compete favorably against them on those fronts would have an adverse impact on our business, operational results and financial position. In addition, with the plethora of dining options available to customers for specialty hotpot, including a greater variety of broths, sauces and dishes, gaining an edge in the industry has become more difficult. We may need to modify or include new items in our menu to enrich our offerings from time to time. However, there is no guarantee that such attempts will be successful or will not reduce our profitability. Our business may be affected by a lack of new suitable locations on commercially viable terms, or any increase in rental costs of the existing tenancy agreements of our leased properties, a failure to renew the same, or our current restaurant locations may become unattractive.

In view of our stringent criteria in selecting restaurant locations, commercially viable choices in Malaysia or other jurisdictions that we may have operations in the future may be limited. In addition, the demographics or economic conditions of the communities where our restaurant outlets are currently operating in could change in the future, potentially resulting in reduced sales in these locations. If we cannot relocate or secure new premises at desirable locations at prices within our budget, our ability to implement our growth strategy will be strained. 14 Our results of operations may fluctuate due to seasonality. We experience certain levels of seasonal fluctuations. For instance, we normally record higher customer traffic and revenues during Chinese New Year and other public holidays due to customs of the Chinese community of family gathering. As we expand our network of restaurant outlets to various
