 independent registered public accounting firm is unable to express an opinion as to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, investors may lose confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports, the market price of our ADSs could be adversely affected and we could become subject to litigation or investigations by the stock exchange on which our securities are listed, the SEC or other regulatory authorities, which could require additional financial and management resources.

Fulfilling our obligations as a public company, including with respect to the requirements of and related rules under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, and the Dodd-Frank Act, is expensive and time-consuming.

We are subject to the reporting, accounting and corporate governance requirements of the NYSE and the Exchange Act, Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and Dodd-Frank that apply to issuers of listed equity, which impose certain compliance requirements, costs and obligations upon us. The expenses associated with being a public company include those related to auditing, accounting and legal fees, investor relations, directors’ fees and director and officer liability insurance costs, registrar and transfer agent fees and listing fees, as well as other expenses. In addition, if we are unable to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting, we may be unable to report our financial condition or financial results accurately or to report them within the timeframes required by the SEC.

As a public company, we are required, among other things, to have in place comprehensive governance, financial reporting, compliance and investor relations functions, subject to any exemptions that may apply to us as a “foreign private issuer” and a “controlled company” under applicable NYSE rules and regulations. Failure to comply with any applicable requirements of being a public company listed in the U. S. could subject us to sanctions or investigations by the SEC, NYSE or other regulatory authorities and could potentially cause investors to lose confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports.
