OPERATING RISK - Note 26

NOTE 26 - OPERATING RISK

• Industry risk

The industry in which we compete is a rapidly evolving, highly competitive and fragmented market driven by consumer preferences and quickly evolving technology. Increased competition may result in price reductions, reduced gross margin and loss of market share. Failure to compete successfully against current or future competitors could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, operating results and financial condition.

• Exchange risk

The Company cannot guarantee the Renminbi and USD exchange rate will remain steady; therefore, the Company could post the same profit for two comparable periods and post higher or lower profit depending on exchange rate of Renminbi and USD. The exchange rate could fluctuate depending on changes in the political and economic environments without notice.

• Operating risk

The Company is contingently liable for a total of $4 million (RMB 25.2 million), for notes received from customers that are endorsed or discounted or pledged but not matured as of March 31, 2012.

• Political risk

Currently, PRC is in a period of growth and is openly promoting business development in order to bring more business into PRC. Additionally PRC currently allows a Chinese corporation to be owned by a United States corporation. If the laws or regulations relating to ownership of a Chinese corporation are changed by the PRC government, the Company's ability to operate the PRC subsidiaries could be affected.

• Interest risk

The Company is exposed to interest rate risk arising from short-term variable rate borrowings from time to time. The Company's future interest expense will fluctuate in line with any change in borrowing rates. The Company does not have any derivative financial instruments as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 and believes its exposure to interest rate risk is not material.
