forward-looking statements, based upon the current beliefs and expectations of
our management, are subject to risks and uncertainties, which could cause
actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements,
including but not limited to, the risk that: inclement weather conditions

intellectual property dispute, we may be forced to spend considerable
resources resolving such dispute; a decrease in the rate of growth of China's
industry and economy may lead to a decrease in our revenues because industrial
