Risk Factors Relating to Our Business
We generate a large percentage of our revenues from a limited number of customers and our business will suffer if sales to such customers decline. Our five largest customers, namely Foshan City Jundian Ceramics Co., Ltd., Xiamen Tongying Trading Co., Ltd., Beijing Zhihe Construction Industry Trading Co., Ltd., Liaoning Yatong Logistics Co. Ltd. and Chengdu City Dehui Construction Materials Co., Ltd. accounted for an aggregate of 31.5%, 25.0%, and 18.0% of our total revenue in fiscal years 2008, 2009 and 2010 respectively. We are particularly exposed to the credit risks of these customers as defaults in payment by our major customers would have a significant impact on our cash flows and financial results. Our agreements with our major customers do not specify minimum sales volume. There is no assurance that we will continue to retain these customers or that they will continue to purchase our products at their current levels in the future. If there is any reduction or cancellation of purchase orders by these customers for any reason, including a fall in demand from our customers’ downstream developer clients, or a termination of relationship with these customers, our revenues will be negatively impacted.
Payment defaults by the customers to whom we extend credit would harm our cash flows and results.
Our financial position and profitability is dependent on the creditworthiness of our customers. We are exposed to the credit risks of our customers and this risk increases the larger the orders are. We usually offer our customers credit terms of approximately 90 days. Although there has not been any material collection problem for trade receivables or bad debts in the last three fiscal years, there is no assurance that we will not encounter doubtful or bad debts in the future. We have not established any bad debt reserves to mitigate the financial impact of uncollected accounts receivable. Should we experience any unexpected delay or difficulty in collecting receivables from our customers, our cash flows and financial results may be adversely affected. 4
