 be sufficient to provide us with competitive advantages. In the event that we resort to litigation to enforce our intellectual property rights, such litigation could result in substantial costs and a diversion of our managerial and financial resources. We cannot assure that we will prevail in such litigation. In addition, our trade secrets may be leaked or otherwise become available to, or be independently discovered by, our competitors. To the extent that our employees or consultants use intellectual property owned by others in their work for us, disputes may arise as to the rights in related know-how and inventions. Any failure in protecting or enforcing our intellectual property rights could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Labor or other disruptions at ports of our materials suppliers or manufacturing services suppliers may adversely affect our business. Our business depends on our ability to source and distribute products in a timely and cost-effective manner. As a result, we rely on the free flow of goods through open and operational ports worldwide and on a consistent basis from our materials suppliers and manufacturing services suppliers. Labor disputes and disruptions at various ports or at our materials suppliers or manufacturing services suppliers could create significant risks for our business, particularly if these disputes result in work slowdowns, decreased operations, lockouts, strikes or other disruptions during our peak importing or manufacturing seasons. For example, COVID-19 has resulted in delays and disruptions at ports due to workforce decreases, shipping backlogs and capacity constraints, container shortages and other disruptions. This has resulted, and may continue to result, in slower than planned deliveries of inventory and delayed sales to customers. If we experience significant delays or disruption in receiving and distributing our products, this could have an adverse effect on our business, potentially resulting in cancelled orders by customers, unanticipated inventory accumulation or shortages, increased expense (including air freight) to deliver our products and reduced net revenues and net income or higher net loss. We face fierce competition from other players in the industry in which we operate. The reflective materials industry is highly fragmented and competitive due to the presence of numerous small to medium-sized players. We face keen competition from numerous competitors operating on different scales in the reflective materials market. In view of the fierce competition, we may have to adjust our profit margin and adopt a more competitive pricing strategy in order to maintain our position in the market. In the event that we fail to differentiate ourselves from our competitors both locally and/or globally, we may not be able to maintain our customer base and market share and our business, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected. We may not be
