Risk Factors (cont.)
Risks Related to the Operations of Our Business (cont.)
• Our ability to generate revenue will be diminished if we are unable to compete with substitutions for copper.
•
We are reliant on third parties to conduct independent analyses with respect to our business, and any inaccuracies in such analyses could have a material adverse effect on our
collection and development objectives.
•
We may become involved in litigation that may adversely affect us.
We may be required to take write-downs or write-offs, restructurings and impairments or other charges that could have a significant negative effect on our financial condition,
results of operations and the share price of our securities, which could cause you to lose some or all of your investment.
• The outbreak of highly contagious diseases all over the world, such as the ongoing coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19), may affect our operations, sales channels and cash flows as
well as lead to greater volatility in global capital markets and result in negative pressure on the global economies, and thereby adversely impact the trading market of our shares.
The pandemic may also significantly increase the adverse effects of other risk factors described in this section.
Our results could be adversely affected by natural disasters, public health crises, political crises or other catastrophic events.
Failures in our control systems, policies and procedures may expose us to unexpected or unpredicted risks, which may adversely affect our business. Our internal controls, systems,
policies and procedures, in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, may not be sufficient and/or fully effective to detect inappropriate practices, errors or fraud.
Our shareholders may not receive dividends.
• We may face potential conflicts of interest by entering into indemnity contracts and agreements with related-parties.
Unfavorable decisions against our company, our subsidiaries, management, and/or controlling shareholders in legal and administrative proceedings may adversely affect our results
of operation, cash flow and financial condition.
•
We may fail to protect our intellectual property assets (including trademarks, domain names, software and patents), and any infringement of our intellectual property rights or our
eventual violation of intellectual property rights of third parties may adversely affect our results of operations.
•
Our business and operations could be negatively affected if it becomes subject to any securities litigation, shareholder activism, regulatory actions or compliance issues which
could cause us to incur significant expense, hinder execution of business and growth strategy, including by distraction of management and impact its stock price.
•
We may not be able to renew our current financing sources or access new financing, discount receivables or issue securities on capital markets on attractive terms, which may
cause a material adverse effect on our company.
•
If we are unable to comply with the restrictions and covenants in our financing agreements, there could be a default under the terms of these agreements, which could result in an
acceleration of payment of funds that we have borrowed and materially affect our liquidity. We may not be able to detect behaviors that violate applicable law and regulation, as
well as our ethics and conduct standards, which can materially and adversely affect our businesses, financial condition, results of operations and the trading price of our ordinary
shares.
Changes in tax legislation and the modification, suspension or cancellation of tax benefits may adversely affect our results of operations.
If we need to obtain additional capital in the future through the issuance of securities, it may result in the dilution of the interest of our ordinary shareholders.
We are subject to anti-corruption, anti-bribery, anti-money laundering, economic and trade sanctions and similar laws, and non-compliance with such laws can subject us to
criminal or civil liability and harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.
• The estimates and assumptions on which our financial projections are based may prove to be inaccurate, which may cause our actual results to materially differ from such
projections, and which may adversely affect our future profitability, cash flows and market price of our ordinary shares.
Increased regulation and/or taxation could adversely affect us.
