The company is exposed to fluctuations in the prices and quantity of available safety equipment and industrial grade hardware. Any delays or shortages in obtaining sufficient quantity of products, or inability to source products at acceptable prices, may negatively impact profitability. The company is also subject to supply chain interruptions from third-party logistic providers, including interruptions to delivery capabilities, failure of third-party service providers to meet standards, and increasing transportation costs.

The company faces risks from regional and worldwide political, regulatory, social, and economic conditions in the jurisdictions in which it and its customers and suppliers operate. Any economic downturn, changes in policies, currency and interest rate fluctuations, capital controls, labor laws, changes in environmental protection laws, duties and taxation, and limitations on imports and exports may materially and adversely affect the business.

The company is dependent on its Executive Director, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Zhang Jian, who has been instrumental in expanding the business since 1997 and has developed working and business relationships with main suppliers and customers over the past two decades. The company does not have any key man life insurance policies on Mr. Zhang or any other key personnel, so the loss of his services could materially and adversely affect the business. The company is exposed to credit risks from customers, with average accounts receivable turnover days of approximately 114 days ¹³ for fiscal year 2026, and customers may be unable to meet contractual payment obligations due to insolvency, bankruptcy, or insufficient financing. The company is also subject to supply chain interruptions, as it relies on third-party logistic providers for import, export, and transportation of safety equipment, and any increased costs from delays, cancellations, or disruptions could affect revenue and profitability. Additionally, the company faces risks from fluctuations in the prices and quantity of available safety equipment, and any inability to source products at acceptable prices or in sufficient quantities may negatively impact profitability.

Management's message emphasizes the company's long-standing presence in the safety equipment business since 1997, when the Executive Director, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Zhang Jian, expanded the business from industrial grade hardware to a wide range of safety equipment and electrical products. The strategic priorities for the period ahead include maintaining a wide range of safety equipment relevant to customers' needs, adapting products to evolving customer specifications driven by technological developments and regulatory changes, and diversifying supply chains by sourcing more products from manufacturers and suppliers outside of the PRC. Management also highlights the importance of retaining key management personnel, particularly Mr. Zhang Jian, whose network and contacts built over the past two decades are critical for sourcing new safety equipment and maintaining relationships with suppliers and customers.
