 and brands that may give rise to potential
infringement claims against them. There may also be intellectual property rights granted to us by the relevant brand owners and relied
on by us that are subject to infringement or other corresponding allegations or claims by third parties. Any disputes or disagreements
arising between us and the owner of such rights could negatively impact our sales and prospects, which lead to the decline in our business
profitability.

We
may not be able to prevent others from unauthorized use of our intellectual property, which could harm our business and competitive position.

We
regard our trademarks, copyrights, domain names, know-how and similar intellectual property as critical to our success, and we rely on
patents, trademarks, copyrights and trade secret law to protect our intellectual property rights. As of the date of this Annual Report,
we own a trademark in Hong Kong. See “ Business - Intellectual Property.” Despite these measures, any of our intellectual
property rights could be challenged, invalidated, circumvented or misappropriated, or such intellectual property may not 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.

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
