RISK FACTORS
Risks Related to Our Business
Industry cyclicality can affect our earnings, especially due to fluctuations in commodity prices of feed ingredients and duck meat.
Outbreaks of avian disease, such as avian influenza, or the perception that outbreaks may occur, can significantly restrict our ability to conduct our operations.
Competition in the duck industry with other duck companies, especially companies with greater resources, may make us unable to compete successfully in this industry, which could adversely affect our business.
We conduct substantially all of our operations through Jinzheng, and our performance will depend upon the performance of Jinzheng.
Due to our growth in recent years, our past results may not be indicative of our future performance so evaluating our business and prospects may be difficult.
Our revenues are all generated in China, and our business will be harmed if demand in China decreases.
Inclement weather, such as excessive heat or storms, could hurt our flocks, which could in turn have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.
We may not be able to effectively control and manage our growth.
Shortages or disruptions in the availability of raw materials could have a material adverse effect on our business.
We depend on the availability of, and good relations with, our contracted farmer family growers.
We depend on a few suppliers for a significant portion of our principal raw materials and we do not have any long-term supply contracts, which makes us susceptible to increased operating costs, production delays or shortages and quality control risks. Interruptions of production at our key suppliers may affect our results of operations and financial performance.
Increases in raw materials prices may increase credit and default risk with respect to our customers.
If our duck products become contaminated, we may be subject to product liability claims and product recalls.
We are exposed to risks relating to product liability, product recalls, property damage and injuries to persons, for which insurance coverage is expensive, limited and potentially inadequate.
Since there is no assurance that we will complete the acquisition or construction of a new facility, we may not be able to expand our production capacity as planned and our business and prospects would be adversely affected if we fail to do so.
Our business would be adversely affected if we expand by acquiring other businesses or by building new processing plants, but fail to successfully integrate the acquired business or run a new plant efficiently.
Current and future governmental regulations or changes in the enforcement of existing laws may materially affect our business.
We may be affected by global climate change or by legal, regulatory, or market responses to such change.
Potential environmental liability could have a material adverse effect on our operations and financial condition.
We rely on key personnel in order to grow our business.
We may need additional financing, which may not be available on satisfactory terms or at all.
Risks Related to Our Corporate Structure
Our contractual arrangements with Jinzheng and its shareholders may not be as effective in providing control over these entities as direct ownership.
Our contractual arrangements with Jinzheng may result in adverse tax consequences to us.
The principal shareholder of Jinzheng has potential conflicts of interest with us, which may adversely affect our business.
PRC laws and regulations governing our businesses and the validity of certain of our contractual arrangements are uncertain. If we are found to be in violation of such PRC laws and regulations, our business may be negatively affected.
Risks Associated With Doing Business In China
Our operations and assets in China are subject to significant political and economic uncertainties.
We derive a substantial portion of our sales from China and a slowdown or other adverse developments in the PRC economy may materially and adversely affect our customers, demand for our services and our business.
Currency fluctuations and restrictions on currency exchange may adversely affect our business, including limiting our ability to convert Chinese Renminbi, or RMB, into foreign currencies and, if the RMB were to decline in value, reducing our revenue in U.S. dollar terms.
The application of PRC regulations relating to the overseas listing of PRC domestic companies is uncertain, and we may be subject to penalties for failing to request approval of the PRC authorities prior to listing our shares in the U.S.
Recent PRC regulations relating to the establishment of offshore special purpose companies by PRC residents may subject our PRC resident shareholders or our PRC subsidiaries to penalties, limit our ability to distribute capital to our PRC subsidiaries, limit our PRC subsidiaries’ ability to distribute funds to us, or otherwise adversely affect us.
Failure to comply with PRC regulations regarding the registration requirements for employee stock ownership plans or share option plans may subject our PRC stock incentive plan participants or us to fines and other legal or administrative sanctions.
Because our principal assets are located outside of the United States and with the exception of one director, our directors and all our officers 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.
We may have limited legal recourse under PRC law if disputes arise under our contracts with third parties.
We may be exposed to liabilities under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, and any determination that we violated the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act could have a material adverse effect on our business.
We face uncertainty from the Circular on Strengthening the Administration of Enterprise Income Tax on Non-resident Enterprises’ Share Transfer (“Circular 698”) released in December 2009 by China’s State Administration of Taxation, or the SAT, effective as of January 1, 2008.
Changes in foreign exchange regulations in the PRC may affect our ability to pay future dividends in foreign currency or conduct other foreign exchange business.
The Chinese government exerts substantial influence over the manner in which we must conduct our business activities.
We may have difficulty establishing adequate management, legal and financial controls in the PRC.
It may be difficult to protect and enforce our intellectual property rights under PRC law.
Under PRC law, we are required to obtain permits and business licenses, and our failure to do so would adversely impact our ability to conduct business in China.
New labor laws in the PRC may adversely affect our results of operations.
Our failure to fully comply with PRC labor laws exposes us to potential liability.
If our land use rights are revoked, we would have no operational capabilities.
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 are subject to the environmental protection law of China.
Any recurrence of severe acute respiratory syndrome, or SARS, or another widespread public health problem, could adversely affect our operations.
Risks Related to Our Securities and this Offering
No market currently exists for our common stock, and we cannot assure you that an active trading market will develop for our common stock.
The market price for our common stock may be subject to wide fluctuations and our common stock may trade below the initial public offering price.
Restrictions under Nevada law may limit our ability to pay dividends
Chinese restrictions on the dividend distribution and foreign exchange may limit our ability to pay future dividends.
We have considerable discretion in the use of proceeds from this offering and we may use these proceeds in ways with which you may not agree.
You will experience immediate and substantial dilution in the net tangible book value of your investment and may experience further dilution in the future.
We may need additional capital and may sell additional securities or other equity securities or incur indebtedness, which could result in additional dilution to our shareholders or increase our debt service obligations.
Substantial future sales of our common stock in the public market, or the perception that these sales could occur, could cause the price of our securities to decline.
NASDAQ may delist our securities from quotation on its exchange which could limit investors’ ability to make transactions in our securities and subject us to additional trading restrictions.
Our costs will increase significantly as a result of operating as a public company, and our management will be required to devote substantial time to complying with public company regulations.
Failure to achieve and maintain effective internal controls in accordance with Section 404 of Sarbanes-Oxley could have a material adverse effect on our business and stock price.
If our shares of common stock become subject to the SEC’s penny stock rules, broker-dealers may experience difficulty in completing customer transactions and trading activity in our securities may be adversely affected.
Our chairman and chief executive officer exercises control over most matters submitted to a shareholder vote and may have interests that differ from other shareholders. He may, therefore, take actions that are not in the interests of our other shareholders.
The issuance of preferred stock could discourage, delay or prevent a change of control of our company and may result in an entrenchment of management and diminish the value of our common stock.
