RISK FACTORS
Risks Associated With Our Business
Our limited operating history may not serve as an adequate basis to judge our future prospects and results of operations.
Our operating results may fluctuate, which makes our results difficult to predict and could cause our results to fall short of expectations.
We are dependent on a single product for substantially all of our revenues.
Because of the capital-intensive nature of our business, we may have to incur additional indebtedness or issue new equity securities, and if we are not able to obtain additional capital our ability to operate or expand our business may be impaired and our results of operations could be adversely affected.
Our revenues are highly dependent on a limited number of customers and the loss of any one of our major customers could materially and adversely affect our growth and our revenues.
We do not have any current sales contracts with our customers.
We may not be able to attract and retain a sufficient number of clients to maintain or expand our business.
If we do not continue to develop new products or if our products do not continue to appeal to the market, we may not remain competitive, and our revenues and operating results could suffer.
We may be unable to make acquisitions or enter into joint ventures, which could impair our growth prospects, and we may be unable integrate, operate or realize the anticipated benefits of such businesses.
We may not obtain the government approvals necessary to build our planned manufacturing facility in Karamai, which could impair our future growth prospects.
We face competition from other research and development companies and timber processing companies which could erode our market share, brand recognition and profitability.
Third parties may infringe on our brand and other intellectual property rights, and we may be unable to protect ourselves against such infringement for competitive and legal reasons, any of which could have a material adverse impact on our business.
We may be sued by third parties who claim that our products, and formulations, methods of manufacture or methods of use infringe on their intellectual property rights.
If we fail to effectively manage our anticipated growth, our business and operating results could be adversely effected.
We depend on key personnel and our business may be severely disrupted if we lose the services of our key executives and employees.
We rely on highly skilled personnel and if we are unable to retain or motivate key personnel or hire qualified personnel, we may not be able to grow effectively.
We rely on third party service or product providers and research partners and the failure of these third parties to deliver high level of service and support required in our business or the loss of a relationship with them will adversely impact our business and future operating prospects.
Because we may not be able to obtain business insurance in the PRC, we may not be protected from risks that are customarily covered by insurance in the United States.
We could be subject to claims related to health or safety risks.
If we fail to establish and maintain an effective system of internal controls, we may not be able to report our financial results accurately or to prevent fraud. Any inability to report and file our financial results accurately and timely could harm our business and adversely impact the trading price of our common stock.
The legal requirements associated with being a public company, including those contained in and issued under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, may make it difficult for us to retain or attract qualified officers and directors, which could adversely affect the management of our business and our ability to obtain or retain listing of our common stock.
Our business will suffer if we cannot obtain, maintain or renew necessary permits or licenses.
There are unique risks in the MDF industry that we may not face in the seedling and harvesting industries.
Risks Relating to the Our Corporate Structure
We are a holding company that depends on cash flow from its subsidiaries to meet our obligations.
Our controlling shareholder has potential conflicts of interest with our company which may adversely affect our business.
Risks Associated With Doing Business in China
Our operations and assets in China are subject to significant political and economic uncertainties over which we have little or no control, and we may be unable to alter our business practice in time to avoid the possibility of reduced revenues.
We derive all of our sales in China and a slowdown or other adverse developments in the PRC economy may materially and adversely affect our business.
The Chinese government exerts substantial influence over the manner in which we must conduct our business activities.
If relations between the United States and China worsen, investors may be unwilling to hold or buy our stock and our stock price may decrease.
Inflation in China may inhibit our ability to conduct business in China.
Currency fluctuations and restrictions on currency exchange may adversely affect our business, including limiting our ability to convert Chinese Renminbi into foreign currencies and, if Chinese Renminbi were to decline in value, reducing our revenue in U.S. dollar terms.
The State Administration of Foreign Exchange (“SAFE”) restrictions on currency exchange may limit our ability to receive and use our sales revenue effectively and to pay dividends.
Because our principal assets are located outside of the United States and a majority of our directors and our officers will reside outside of the United States, it may be difficult for you to enforce your rights based on the United States federal securities laws against us and our officers and directors in the United States or to enforce judgments of United States courts against us or them in the PRC.
Because the assets of our wholly-owned subsidiaries are located overseas, stockholders may not receive distributions that they would otherwise be entitled to if we were declared bankrupt or insolvent.
The PRC legal system contains uncertainties which could limit the legal protections available to us and you, or could lead to penalties on us.
We may have limited legal recourse under the PRC laws if disputes arise under our contracts with third parties.
PRC regulations relating to acquisitions of PRC companies by foreign entities may create regulatory uncertainties that could restrict or limit our ability to operate.
Our partial payment of the acquisition price for Liaoning Shengsheng creates regulatory restrictions that limit Liaoning Shengsheng’s ability to pay dividends to us and may result in other regulatory restrictions.
The Company may not be allowed by PRC regulatory authorities to consolidate Liaoning Shengsheng’s equity and assets into its consolidated financial statements before the Company has paid the acquisition price in full.
Our labor costs are likely to increase as a result of changes in Chinese labor laws.
We must comply with the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.
If we make equity compensation grants to persons who are PRC citizens, they may be required to register with SAFE. We may also face regulatory uncertainties that could restrict our ability to adopt equity compensation plans for our directors and employees and other parties under PRC laws.
Due to various restrictions under PRC laws on the distribution of dividends by our PRC operating companies, we may not be able to pay dividends to our shareholders.
As all of our operations and personnel are in the PRC, we may have difficulty establishing adequate western style management, legal and financial controls.
An outbreak of a pandemic avian influenza, SARS or other contagious disease may have an adverse effect on the Chinese economy which may adversely affect our results of operations.
Our bank accounts are not insured or protected against loss.
Under the PRC EIT Law, we may be classified as a “resident enterprise” of the PRC. Such classification could result in PRC tax consequences to us and our non-PRC resident enterprise shareholders.
Risks Associated With Our Common Stock
Shares of our common stock lack a significant trading market.
The market price for our stock may be volatile.
The future sale of a substantial amount of outstanding stock in the public marketplace could reduce the price of our common stock.
We may issue additional shares of our capital stock or debt securities to raise capital or complete acquisitions, which would reduce the equity interest of our stockholders.
Our management and directors own a significant amount of our common stock or options to purchase a significant amount of our common stock, giving them influence or control in corporate transactions and other matters, and their interests could differ from those of other stockholders.
Risks Related to an Investment in Our Securities
No cash dividends on our common stock are expected to be paid in the foreseeable future.
Volatility in our common share price may subject us to securities litigation.
Our common stock may be thinly traded and you may be unable to sell at or near ask prices or at all if you need to sell your shares to raise money or otherwise desire to liquidate your shares.
The elimination of liability of our directors, officers and employees under Delaware law and the existence of indemnification rights to our directors, officers and employees may result in substantial expenditures by our company and may discourage lawsuits against our directors, officers and employees.
Shares eligible for future sale may adversely affect the market.
