CHINA XD PLASTICS COMPANY LIMITED AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1 - Basis of presentation, significant concentrations and risks

(a) Basis of presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted as permitted by rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2016 was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements of China XD Plastics Company Limited ("China XD") and subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company"). The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of December 31, 2016, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the year then ended, included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 16, 2017.

In the opinion of the management, all adjustments (which include normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present a fair statement of the financial position as of March 31, 2017, the results of operations and cash flows for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, have been made.

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include the recoverability of the carrying amounts of property, plant and equipment, the realizability of inventories, the useful lives of property, plant and equipment, the collectability of accounts receivable, the fair values of stock-based compensation awards, and the accruals for tax uncertainties and other contingencies. The current economic environment has increased the degree of uncertainty inherent in those estimates and assumptions.

(b) Significant concentrations and risks

Sales concentration

The Company sells its products primarily through approved distributors in the People's Republic of China (the "PRC"). The Company's sales are highly concentrated. Sales to distributors individually exceeded 10% of the Company's revenues for the three month periods ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, are as follows:

	For the Three-Month Period Ended March 31,
	2017					2016
	US$		%			US$		%
Distributor A, located in PRC		42,217,833		17.8	%		35,105,615		16.3	%
Distributor B, located in PRC		28,510,327		12.0	%		35,809,554		16.7	%
Distributor C, located in PRC		22,231,697		9.3	%		28,460,900		13.2	%
Distributor D, located in PRC		21,241,225		8.9	%		21,908,999		10.2	%
Distributor E, located in PRC		18,332,720		7.7	%		25,485,848		11.9	%
Distributor F, located in PRC		-		0.0	%		22,202,126		10.3	%
Total		132,533,802		55.7	%		168,973,042		78.6	%

The Company expects revenues from these distributors to continue to represent a substantial portion of its revenue in the future. Any factor adversely affecting the automobile industry in the PRC or the business operations of these customers will have a material effect on the Company's business, financial position and results of operations.

Purchase concentration of raw materials and equipment

The principal raw materials used for the Company's production of modified plastics products are plastic resins, such as polypropylene, ABS and nylon. The Company purchases substantially all of its raw materials through a limited number of distributors. Raw material purchases from these distributors, which individually exceeded 10% of the Company's total raw material purchases, accounted for approximately 40.4% (three distributors), and 76.9% (five distributors) , of the Company's total raw material purchases for the three-month period ended March 31 2017 and 2016, respectively. Management believes that other suppliers could provide similar raw materials on comparable terms. A change in suppliers, however, could cause a delay in manufacturing and a possible loss of sales, which would adversely affect the Company's business, financial position and results of operations.

The Company purchased equipment from two equipment distributors, which accounted for nil and 99.9% of the Company's total equipment purchases for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Management believes that other suppliers could provide similar equipment on comparable terms. A change in suppliers, however, could cause a delay in manufacturing and a possible loss of sales, which could adversely affect the Company's business, financial position and results of operations.

Cash concentration

Note 10– Income tax

Pursuant to an approval from the local tax authority in July 2013, Sichuan Xinda, a subsidiary of China XD, became a qualified enterprise located in the western region of the PRC, which entitled it to a preferential income tax rate of 15% from January 1, 2013 to December 31, 2020. Under the current laws of Dubai, Dubai Xinda, a subsidiary of China XD, is exempted from income taxes.

The effective income tax rates for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 were 26.4% and 28.5%, respectively. The effective income tax rate reduced from 28.5% for the three-month period ended March 31, 2016 to 26.4% for the three-month period ended March 31, 2017, primarily due to more profit generated by Sichuan Xinda, which enjoys preferential tax rate and the increase of super deduction of R&D expense. The effective income tax rate for the three-month period ended March 31, 2017 differs from the PRC statutory income tax rate of 25% primarily due to the effect of tax rate differential on entities not subject to PRC income tax and the effect of non-deductible expenses.

As of March 31, 2017, the unrecognized tax benefits were US$26,945,584 and the interest relating to unrecognized tax benefits was US$6,631,408.

In addition, the Company has received RMB111.6 million (equivalent to US$16.2 million) from Shunqing Government and RMB6.4 million (equivalent to US$0.9 million) from Ministry of Finance of the People's Republic of China to support the construction and RMB1.3 million (equivalent to US$0.2 million) special funds of ministerial key research projects from Ministry of Science and Technology of PRC as of March 31, 2017.

The Company and certain of its officers were named as defendants in two putative securities class action lawsuits filed on July 15, 2014 and July 16, 2014 in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. On March 23, 2016, the Court issued an Opinion and Order dismissing the Consolidated Class Action Complaint without prejudice. On May 6, 2016, the lead plaintiffs moved the Court for leave to amend the Consolidated Class Action Complaint. On June 24, 2016, the Company filed its opposition to the lead plaintiffs' motion. On August 8, 2016, in conjunction with filing the reply brief in support of their motion, the lead plaintiffs moved to strike certain documents referred to in the Company's opposition. The Company filed its opposition to the lead plaintiffs' motion to strike on September 16, 2016. On March 8, 2016, the Court entered an Order in the Company's favor denying the lead plaintiffs' motion for leave to amend and denying the lead plaintiffs' motion to strike. The lead plaintiffs have until May 10, 2017 to appeal the dismissal of their lawsuits. The Company, after consultation with its legal counsel, continues to believe that the lawsuits are without merit and will continue to vigorously defend against them. Nevertheless, there is a possibility that a loss may have been incurred. In accordance with ASC Topic 450, no loss contingency was accrued as of March 31, 2017 since the possible loss or range of loss cannot be reasonably estimated.

Revenues

Revenues were US$237.8 million in the first quarter ended March 31, 2017, an increase of US$22.8 million, or 10.6%, compared to US$215.0 million in the same period of last year, as a result of an increase of 11.3% in sales volume and an increase of 4.8% in the average RMB selling price of our products, as compared with those of last year.

According to the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers, Automobile production in China increased by 8.0% for the first quarter of 2017 as compared to the same period of 2016.

An improvement in macroeconomic conditions since 2016 has improved business conditions and ease pricing pressures.

Driven by increased growth of 104.2% in South China, 50.2% in Central China, 30.2% in Southwest China and 14.2% in North China, domestic sales during the first quarter of 2017 increased by 10.6% as compared to the same period of the prior year

As for the RMB selling price, the increase was mainly due to higher-end product of modified PA66, Plastic Alloy, PLA and PPO in China.

Overseas sales in 2017 was suspended due to account receivable balance overdue situation with the existing ROK customer.

On April 1, 2017, the Company and the ROK customer have reached an agreement on the credit payment and product refining costs. We expect the supply to the ROK customer to resume after its payment obligations arising from the raw material purchase transaction is completely fulfilled in the second quarter of 2017. The customer has made payment of US$41.0 million in the first quarter of 2017 with unpaid balance of US$33.6 million.

R&D expenses were US$5.9 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2017 compared with US$4.9 million during the same period in 2016, an increase of US$1.0 million, or 20.4%. This increase was primarily due to i) elevated Research and development activities to meet the higher quality requirements of potential customers from Europe; ii) increased efforts directed towards applications in new electrical equipment and electronics, alternative energy applications, power devices, aviation equipment and ocean engineering, in addition to other new products primarily for advanced industrialized applications in the automobile sector and in new verticals such as ships, airplanes, high-speed rail, 3D printing materials, biodegradable plastics, and medical devices; and iii) an increase in depreciation expenses after additional R&D equipment was put into use at Sichuan Xinda.

As of March 31, 2017, the number of ongoing research and development projects was 255. We expect to complete and commence to realize economic benefits on approximately 25% of the projects in the near term. The remaining projects are expected to be carried out for a longer period.

Operating Income

Total operating income was US$21.3 million in the first quarter ended March 31, 2017 compared to $24.5 million in the same period of 2016, representing a decrease of 13.1% or US$3.2 million. This decrease is primarily due to stable gross profit, and higher G&A expenses and higher research and development expenses.

The effective income tax rates for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 were 26.4% and 28.5%, respectively. The effective income tax rate for the three-month period ended March 31, 2017 differs from the PRC statutory income tax rate of 25% primarily due to (i) operating losses of entities not subject to income tax decreased the consolidated income before income taxes for the three-month ended March 31, 2017; (ii) non-deductible expenses incurred in the PRC operating entities; partially offset by (iii) R&D additional deduction of the major PRC operating entities; and (iv) Sichuan Xinda's preferential income tax rate.

Our PRC and Dubai subsidiaries have US$282.0 million of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and time deposits as of March 31, 2017, which are planned to be indefinitely reinvested in the PRC and Dubai. The distributions from our PRC and Dubai subsidiaries are subject to the U.S. federal income tax at 34%, less any applicable foreign tax credits. Due to our policy of indefinitely reinvesting our earnings in our PRC business, we have not provided for deferred income tax liabilities related to PRC withholding income tax on undistributed earnings of our PRC subsidiaries. In addition, due to our policy of indefinitely reinvesting our earnings in Dubai, UAE, we have not provided for deferred income tax liabilities related to Dubai Xinda in Dubai, UAE, on undistributed earnings.

Net Income

Our financial condition continued to improve as measured by an increase of 2.2% in stockholders' equity as of March 31, 2017 as compared to that of December 31, 2016. Cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and time deposits decreased by 37.8% or US$172.6 million due to the operating cash outflows. Inventories increased by 30.9% as a result of more purchases of the raw materials and the Company's strategy to stock up the finished goods for the upcoming order. Prepayment to equipment and construction suppliers increased by 2,583.1% mainly because advance to purchases for the Nanchong Project. The aggregate short-term and long-term bank loans increased by 18.9% due to the utilization of existing lines of credit. We define the manageable debt level as the sum of aggregate short-term and long-term loans, and notes payable over total assets.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Historically, our primary uses of cash have been to finance working capital needs and capital expenditures for new production lines. We have financed these requirements primarily from cash generated from operations, bank borrowings and the issuance of our convertible preferred stocks and debt financings. As of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, we had US$57.7 million and US$168.1 million, respectively, in cash and cash equivalents which were primarily deposited with banks in China (including Hong Kong and Macau SAR), UAE and U.S. As of March 31, 2017, we had US$637.9 million outstanding short-term bank loans (including the current portion of long-term bank loans), including US$389.4 million unsecured loan and US$50.7 million loans secured by accounts receivable, US$56.9 million loans secured by restricted cash, and US$141.0 long-term bank loans that due in one year. We also had US$187.7 million long-term bank loans (excluding the current portion), including US$57.3 million unsecured loan and US$130.4 million syndicate loan facility. Short-term and long-term bank loans in total bear a weighted average interest rate of 3.9% per annum and do not contain any renewal terms. We have historically been able to make repayments when due. As of March 31, 2017, our current ratio was 0.8 as compared to 1.2 as of December 31, 2016. The decrease of current ratio was primarily because the Company had a decreased cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and time deposits by 37.8%, and an increased short-term loans by 43.4% to meet the need of the increased prepayment to equipment suppliers to meet the Company's new Nanchong Project.

We have historically been able to make repayments when due. As of March 31, 2017, we have contractual obligations to pay (i) lease commitments in the amount of US$3.1 million, including US$1.2 million due in one year; (ii) equipment acquisition and facility construction in the amount of US$136.5 million; and (iii) long-term bank loan in the amount of US$352.1 million (including principals and interests).

We expect that we will be able to meet our needs to fund operations, capital expenditures and other commitments in the next 12 months primarily with our cash and cash equivalents, operating cash flows and bank borrowings.

We may, however, require additional cash resources due to changes in business conditions or other future developments. If these sources are insufficient to satisfy our cash requirements, we may seek to sell additional equity or debt securities or obtain a credit facility. The sale of additional equity or equity-linked securities could result in additional dilution to stockholders. The incurrence of indebtedness would result in increased debt service obligations and could result in operating and financial covenants that would restrict operations. Financing may not be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, or at all.

The following table sets forth a summary of our cash flows for the periods indicated.

	Three-Month Period Ended March 31,
(in millions US$)	2017			2016
Net cash used in operating activities		(57.6	)		(25.4	)
Net cash used in investing activities		(148.2	)		(86.3	)
Net cash provided by financing activities		94.3			34.7
Effect of foreign currency exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents		1.1			0.2
Net decrease in cash and cash equivalents		(110.4	)		(76.8	)
Cash and cash equivalents at the beginning of period		168.1			119.9
Cash and cash equivalents at the end of period		57.7			43.1

Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities increased to US$57.6 million cash outflow for the three-month period ended March 31, 2017 from net cash outflow by operating activities of US$25.4 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2016, primarily due to (i) the increase of approximately US$197.8 million in cash operating payments, including raw material purchases, rental and personnel costs, (ii) the decrease of approximately US$8.7 million released from restricted cash, (iii) the decrease of US$2.1 million received from government grant, and (iv) the decrease of US$0.9 million in interest income received, partially offset by (v) the increase of approximately US$169.5 million in cash collected from our customers for the three-month period ended March 31, 2017, (vi) the decrease of US$5.9 million interest payments, (vii) the decrease of US$1.8 million in income tax payments for the three-month period ended March 31, 2017.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in the investing activities was US$148.2 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2017 as compared to US$86.3 million for the same period of last year, mainly due to (i) the increase of US$301.0 million purchase of property, plant and equipment, (ii) the increase of US$3.0 million acquisition of land use right, and (iii) the decrease of US$2.1 million government grant related to the construction of Sichuan plant, partially offset by (iv) the decrease of US$95.5 million purchase of time deposits, (v) the increase of US$73.7 million proceeds from maturity of time deposits and (vi) the increase of US$75.1 million refund of deposit from an equipment supplier for the three-month period ended March 31, 2017.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by the financing activities was US$94.3 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2017, as compared to US$34.7 million for the same period of last year, primarily as a result of (i) the increase of US$149.7 million borrowings of bank loans, partially offset by (ii) the increase of US$56.4 million repayments of bank borrowings for the three-month period ended March 31, 2017, (iii) the increase of US$18.6 million of placement of restricted cash as collateral for bank borrowings and (iv) the decrease of US$15.0 million release from restricted cash as collateral for bank borrowings.

As of March 31, 2017, our cash and cash equivalents balance was US$57.7 million, compared to US$168.1 million at December 31, 2016.

Days Sales Outstanding ("DSO") has increased from 96 days for the year ended December 31, 2016 to 113 days for the quarter ended March 31, 2017 as a result of slow AR collection of the customer in ROK.

It takes longer to collect from our customers. We believe that our DSO is still well below industry average Industry Standard Customer and Supplier Payment Terms (days) as below:

	Three-month period ended March 31, 2017	Year ended December 31, 2016
Customer Payment Term	Payment in advance/up to 90 days	Payment in advance/up to 90 days
Supplier Payment Term	Payment in advance/up to 90 days	Payment in advance/up to 90 days

Inventory turnover days has increased from 109 days for the year ended December 31, 2016 to 144 days for the quarter ended March 31, 2017. Turnover days of payables have decreased from 109 days for the year ended December 31, 2016 to 105 days for the quarter ended March 31, 2017.

Based on past performance and current expectations, we believe our cash and cash equivalents provided by operating activities and financing activities will satisfy our working capital needs, capital expenditures and other liquidity requirements associated with our operations for at least the next 12 months.

The majority of the Company's revenues and expenses were denominated primarily in Renminbi ("RMB"), the currency of the People's Republic of China. There is no assurance that exchange rates between the RMB and the U.S. Dollar will remain stable. Inflation has not had a material impact on the Company's business.

Legal Proceedings

The Company and certain of its officers and directors have been named as defendants in two putative securities class action lawsuits filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. These actions, which allege violations of Section 10(b) and Section 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, were filed on July 15, 2014 and July 16, 2014 and are captioned Yang v. Han, et al., No. 14-cv-5308 (GBD) and Tompkins v. China XD Plastics Company Ltd., et al., No. 14-cv-5359 (GBD), respectively. On November 21, 2014, the Court consolidated the actions and appointed lead plaintiffs. On February 17, 2015, the lead plaintiffs filed a Consolidated Class Action Complaint on behalf of a class of all persons other than the defendants who purchased the common stock of China XD Plastics Company Limited between March 25, 2014 and July 10, 2014, both dates inclusive. Specifically, the lead plaintiffs alleged that the Company and two of its officers made false or misleading statements and/or omitted material facts in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 and the Company's Form 10-Q for the first quarter ended March 31, 2014. They also asserted that the individual defendants are liable because they allegedly controlled the Company during the time the allegedly false and misleading statements and omissions were made. The lead plaintiffs sought damages in unspecified amounts. On April 3, 2015, the Company moved to dismiss the Consolidated Class Action Complaint. On March 23, 2016, the Court entered an Opinion and Order dismissing the Consolidated Class Action Complaint without prejudice. On May 6, 2016, the lead plaintiffs moved the Court for leave to amend the Consolidated Class Action Complaint. On June 24, 2016, the Company filed its opposition to the lead plaintiffs' motion. On August 8, 2016, in conjunction with filing the reply brief in support of their motion, the lead plaintiffs moved to strike certain documents referred to in the Company's opposition. The Company filed its opposition to the lead plaintiffs' motion to strike on September 16, 2016. The lead plaintiffs filed their reply on October 7, 2016. On March 8, 2016, the Court entered an Order in the Company's favor denying the lead plaintiffs' motion for leave to amend and denying the lead plaintiffs' motion to strike. The lead plaintiffs have until May 10, 2017 to appeal the dismissal of their lawsuits.

Of-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have not engaged in any off-balance sheet transactions.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risks

Interest Rate Risk

We are exposed to interest rate risk primarily with respect to our short-term loans, long-term bank loans, notes payable, cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and time deposits. Although the interest rates, which are based on the banks' prime rates are fixed for the terms of the loans and deposits, increase in interest rates will increase our interest expense.

A hypothetical 1.0% increase in the annual interest rate for all of our credit facilities under which we had outstanding borrowings as of March 31, 2017 would decrease income before income taxes by approximately US$2.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2017. Management monitors the banks' prime rates in conjunction with our cash requirements to determine the appropriate level of debt balances relative to other sources of funds. We have not entered into any hedging transactions in an effort to reduce our exposure to interest rate risk.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rates

The majority of our revenues are collected in and our expenses are paid in RMB. We face foreign currency rate translation risks when our results are translated to U.S. dollars.

The RMB was relatively stable against the U.S. dollar at approximately 8.28 RMB to the US$1.00 until July 21, 2005 when the Chinese currency regime was altered resulting in a 2.1% revaluation versus the U.S. dollar. From July 21, 2005 to June 30, 2010, the RMB exchange rate was no longer linked to the U.S. dollar but rather to a basket of currencies with a 0.3% margin of fluctuation resulting in further appreciation of the RMB against the U.S. dollar. Since June 30, 2009, the exchange rate had remained stable at 6.8307 RMB to 1.00 U.S. dollar until June 30, 2010 when the People's Bank of China allowed a further appreciation of the RMB by 0.43% to 6.798 RMB to 1.00 U.S. dollar. The People's Bank of China allowed the RMB and U.S. dollar exchange rate to fluctuate within 1% on April 16, 2012 and 2% on March 17, 2014, respectively. On March 31, 2017, the RMB traded at 6.8993 RMB to 1.00 U.S. dollar.

There remains international pressure on the Chinese government to adopt an even more flexible currency policy and the exchange rate of RMB is subject to changes in China's government policies which are, to a large extent, dependent on the economic and political development both internationally and locally and the demand and supply of RMB in the domestic market. There can be no assurance that such exchange rate will continue to remain stable in the future amongst the volatility of currencies, globalization and the unstable economies in recent years. Since (i) our revenues and net income of our PRC operating entities are denominated in RMB, and (ii) the payment of dividends, if any, will be in U.S. dollars, any decrease in the value of RMB against U.S. dollars would adversely affect the value of the shares and dividends payable to shareholders, in U.S. dollars.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company's management has evaluated, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of the design and operations of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Securities Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e)), as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective because of material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting as disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016.

Notwithstanding management's assessment that our internal control over financial reporting was ineffective as of March 31, 2017. We believe that our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report present fairly our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2017 in all material respects.

(b) Changes in internal controls.

During the three-month ended March 31, 2017, our efforts to improve our internal controls over financial reporting include (1) adopting procedures to evaluate and assess performance of directors, officers and employees of the Company, (2) internal meetings, discussions, trainings and seminars periodically to review and improve our internal control procedures. We plan to improve on the above-referenced weakness by the end of the fiscal year ending December 31, 2017.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

Item 1A. Risk Factors

"Part I. Item 1A. Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 includes a detailed discussion of risks and uncertainties which could adversely affect our future results. We operate in a changing environment that involves numerous known and unknown risks and uncertainties that could materially affect our operations. The risks, uncertainties and other factors set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K may cause our actual results, performances and achievements to be materially different from those expressed or implied by our forward-looking statements. If any of these risks or events occurs, our business, financial condition or results of operations may be adversely affected. Except as set forth below, during the three months ended March 31, 2017, there have been no material changes to the Risk Factors disclosed in "Part I. Item 1A. Risk Factors" of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016.

We may not be able to manage our business expansion effectively, which could harm our business.

We have expanded rapidly by making substantial investments in new markets and geographic regions. For example, on March 17, 2017, we entered into a definitive agreement with People's Government of Shunqing District, Nanchong City of Sichuan Province for the production of 300,000 metric tons of bio-composite materials and additive manufacturing and 20,000 metric tons of functional masterbatch, a high-end color additive process in plastics manufacturing. For details, see "Item 1. Financial Statements – Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements - Note 6 – Prepayments to equipment and construction suppliers." We anticipate continuous expansion in our business by entering into new markets serving different industries and geographic regions. Such business expansion requires significant local management resources and personnel, knowledges and expertise in new markets and geographies and building relationship with local suppliers and clients. In order to manage the planned business expansion, we will be required to expand, train and manage our growing employee base. Further our management will be required to learn new markets and geographies and build relationship with local suppliers and clients. We cannot assure you that our current resources, knowledges and business relationships will be adequate to support our current expansion plans. If we are not successful in expanding our personnel, acquiring knowledge and expertise in the new markets and geographies and building relationship with local suppliers and clients, our business may be materially and adversely affected.
