 manpower, or other resources than we do. Some new market entrants may acquire market share by leveraging existing business relationships and acquiring new technologies from third parties. Our competitors may also be more responsive to changes in technologies or customer requirements, or offer similar products or services at lower prices. All of the foregoing factors may intensify market competition, and we may face pressure in product and service pricing and competition for orders. Any adverse or unforeseeable change in our competitive environment may have a material and adverse effect on our business, prospects, results of operation and financial position.

There are uncertainties regarding the interpretation and enforcement of PRC laws and regulations

The Company’s operating subsidiary is principally based in the PRC and is subject to the laws and regulations of the PRC. The PRC legal system is based 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.
