 on statutory laws. Under this system, prior court decisions may be cited for reference but do not have binding precedential effect. Since 1979, the PRC government has been developing a comprehensive legal system and considerable progress has been made in the promulgation of laws and regulations dealing with economic matters, such as corporate organization and governance, property title, foreign investment, commerce, taxation and trade. As these laws and regulation are relatively new and evolving, and because of the limited volume of published cases and judicial interpretations, and the non-binding nature of prior court decisions, the interpretation and enforcement of these laws and regulations involves some uncertainties. Such uncertainties may lead to difficulties in enforcing the Company’s rights and in resolving disputes with any persons and could result in unanticipated costs and liabilities.

The success of our business relies heavily on brand image, reputation, and product quality.

It is important that we maintain and improve the image and reputation of our existing brands and products. Concerns about product quality, even when unsubstantiated, could be harmful to our image and reputation of our brands and products. While we have quality control programs in place, in the event we experienced an issue with product quality, we may experience recalls or liability in addition to business disruption which could further negatively impact brand image and reputation and negatively affect our sales. Our brand image and reputation may also be more difficult to protect due to less oversight and control as a result of the outsourcing of some of our operations. We also could be exposed to lawsuits relating to product liability or marketing or sales practices. Deterioration to our brand equity may be difficult to combat or reverse and could have a material effect on our business and financial results.

Uncertainty about future market prices (interest rates, exchange rates, stock prices and commodity prices) can adversely affect our business.

Market risks can be divided into interest rate risks, exchange rate risks, stock price risks and commodity price risks. These market factors may directly affect our production, or competitors, suppliers or consumers may indirectly affect our business. Our business model may be suppressed if substitutes emerge in the market for our products, which are other products that can achieve the same function. The threat of alternatives is threefold:

1. The competitiveness of substitutes in price;

2. Satisfaction with the quality and performance of substitutes;

3. How easy it is for customers to switch to substitutes.

At present, there is no substitute for the product itself, unless it is an industry substitute or a new technology emerges. For example, the emergence of new energy vehicles
