• | competition in the collectibles, gift and toy industries is expected to continue to exert price pressure and we also may face continued pressure from retailers to reduce our margins, unfavorably affecting our net sales; | ||
• | we need additional capital to effect our business plan and to make additional investment in product development and growth activities and the cost of capital may reduce our profitability and any inability to raise additional capital may limit our growth; | ||
• | we may face increased costs relating to licensing of entertainment franchises and we may not be able to obtain licenses for popular entertainment franchises in the future, either of which could negatively affect our sales and profitability; | ||
• | our expenses may increase due to increased manufacturing costs, including higher labor and raw materials costs such as Zinc for our die-cast products; | ||
• | product costs and profit margins may be unfavorably affected due to foreign currency fluctuations, particularly the appreciation of the Renminbi against the U.S. Dollar and the British Pound; |

• | changes in accounting standards, such as recognition of compensation costs relating to employee stock option plans in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share Based Payment”, will increase our operating expenses; | ||
• | we may be required to record goodwill impairment charges relating to our previous or future acquisitions, such as the $18.8 million goodwill impairment charge taken in the year ended March 31, 2006; | ||
• | changes in regulatory law or taxes in China or changes in the overall political conditions of China may cause an increase in our operating expenses; and | ||
• | many of our expenses are relatively fixed, and cannot be reduced quickly if actual revenues are lower than expected. As a result of such fixed expenses, revenue shortfalls could result in lower profitability or in greater losses than anticipated for any given period, which could have a negative impact on our share price. |
