CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK AND OTHER RISKS

Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other receivable, and advances to suppliers. The Company maintains cash and cash equivalents with several financial institutions. It invests with high credit quality financial institutions and, by policy, limits the amount of credit exposure to any one financial institution. Receivables are from customers and suppliers concentrated in the People's Republic of China. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and suppliers. The Company generally does not require collateral, but in most cases can place liens against the property, plant, or equipment constructed or terminate the contract if a material default occurs. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts which has been within management's expectations.

- Definition

This disclosure informs financial statement users about the general nature of the risk associated with the concentration, and may indicate the percentage of concentration risk as of the balance sheet date.
