 which may cause a material adverse effect on our financial
condition and results of operations.

Our
main products are our vegetable oils derived from oil seeds, which may be recognized by governments and regulators as one of the essential
daily goods purchased by common people. When domestic and international market prices of edible vegetable oil rises sharply and cause
serious impact on consumption, governmental authorities may consider conducting price controls in the form of fixed retail prices or
retail price ceilings. If this were to happen in Australia, we may face operational pressure for increasing costs, and our profit level
may be likely lowered. Any future price controls or government mandated price reductions may have a material adverse effect on our financial
condition and results of operations, including significantly reducing our revenue and profitability.

Our
business requires a number of permits and licenses in order to carry on our business.

Food
manufacturers in Australia are required to obtain certain permits and licenses from various governmental authorities, including Food
Standards Australia New Zealand (“ FSANZ”). All foods sold in Australia must also comply with a range of laws designed to
protect consumer, plant, and animal health and we are subject to regulations pertaining to the agricultural and forestry industry. We
have obtained licenses currently required, including for the manufacture and operation of edible vegetable oil.

However,
we cannot assure you that we can maintain all required licenses and certificates to carry on our business at all times, and in the past
from time to time we may not have been in compliance with all such required licenses or certificates. Moreover, these licenses and certificates
are subject to periodic renewal and/or reassessment by the relevant governmental authorities and the standards of such renewal or reassessment
may change from time to time. We intend to apply for the renewal of these licenses and certificates when required by then applicable
laws and regulations. Any failure by us to obtain and maintain all licenses or certificates necessary to carry on our business at any
time could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, any inability
to renew these licenses and certificates could severely disrupt our business and prevent us from continuing to carry on our business.
Any changes in the standards used by governmental authorities in considering whether to renew or reassess our business licenses, as well
as any enactment of new regulations that may restrict the conduct of our business, may also decrease our revenue and/or increase our
costs and materially reduce our profitability and prospects. Furthermore, if the interpretation or implementation of existing laws and
regulations changes or if new regulations
