<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"><FONT STYLE="font-family: Times New Roman, Times, Serif; font-size: 10pt">The
spread of the novel coronavirus (&ldquo;COVID-19&rdquo;), which was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization in March
2020, has caused different countries and cities to mandate curfews, including &ldquo;shelter-in-place&rdquo; and closures of most
non-essential businesses as well as other measures to mitigate the spread of the virus. All of our operating subsidiaries are
located in China. All of our employees and substantially all of our customers and suppliers are also located in China. The pandemic
caused disruptions to our operations during the first quarter of 2020 and our business and operations fully resumed during the
second quarter of 2020. However, the extent of the long-term adverse impact of COVID-19 on our business and operations is highly
uncertain and depends on several factors, such as the duration, severity, and geographic spread of the pandemic, development of
the testing and treatment and stimulus measures of the government, all of which are out of our control.</FONT></P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"><FONT STYLE="font-family: Times New Roman, Times, Serif; font-size: 10pt">Given
the uncertainty of the outbreak, the spread of COVID-19 may be prolonged and worsened, and we may be forced to scale back or even
suspend our operations. As COVID-19 spreads outside China, the global economy is suffering a noticeable slowdown. As this outbreak
persists, commercial activities throughout the world have been curtailed with decreased consumer spending, business operation
disruptions, interrupted supply chain, difficulties in travel and reduced workforces. The duration and intensity of disruptions
resulting from the COVID-19 outbreak is uncertain. It is unclear as to when the outbreak will be contained, and we also cannot
predict if the impact will be short-lived or long-lasting. The extent to which outbreak impacts our long-term financial results
will depend on its future developments. If the COVID-19 pandemic is not effectively controlled in a short period of time, our
long-term business operation and financial condition may be materially and adversely affected as a result of any slowdown in economic
growth, operation disruptions or other factors that we cannot predict.</FONT></P>

February 20, 2020, we received notice from the Listing Qualifications Department of The NASDAQ Stock Market (&ldquo;Nasdaq&rdquo;)
indicating that, for the last 30 consecutive business days, the bid price for the Company&rsquo;s common stock had closed below
the minimum $1.00 per share and as a result, the Company was no longer in compliance with the NASDAQ Listing Rule 5550(a)(2).

cannot assure you that the Company will continue to comply with the requirements for continued listing on the NASDAQ Capital Market
in the future. If our common stock loses its status on the NASDAQ Capital Market, our common stock would likely trade in the over-the-counter
market. If our shares were to trade on the over-the-counter market, selling our common stock could be more difficult because smaller
quantities of shares would likely be bought and sold, transactions could be delayed, and security analysts&rsquo; coverage of
us may be reduced. In addition, in the event our common stock is delisted, broker-dealers have certain regulatory burdens imposed
upon them, which may discourage broker-dealers from effecting transactions in our common stock, further limiting the liquidity
of our common stock. These factors could result in lower prices and larger spreads in the bid and ask prices for our common stock.
Such delisting from the NASDAQ Capital Market and continued or further declines in our share price could also greatly impair our
ability to raise additional necessary capital through equity or debt financing and could significantly increase the ownership
dilution to shareholders caused by our issuing equity in financing or other transactions.</FONT></P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"><FONT STYLE="font-family: Times New Roman, Times, Serif; font-size: 10pt">Delisting
from NASDAQ may cause our common stock to become subject to the SEC&rsquo;s &ldquo;penny stock&rdquo; rules. The SEC generally
defines a penny stock as an equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less
than $5.00 per share, subject to specific exemptions. One such exemption is to be listed on NASDAQ. Therefore, were we to be delisted
from NASDAQ, our common stock may become subject to the SEC&rsquo;s &ldquo;penny stock&rdquo; rules. These rules require, among
other things, that any broker engaging in a purchase or sale of our securities provide its customers with: (i) a risk disclosure
document, (ii) disclosure of market quotations, if any, (iii) disclosure of the compensation of the broker and its salespersons
in the transaction, and (iv) monthly account statements showing the market values of our securities held in the customer&rsquo;s
accounts. A broker would be required to provide the bid and offer quotations and compensation information before effecting the
transaction. This information must be contained on the customer&rsquo;s confirmation. Generally, brokers are less willing to effect
transactions in penny stocks due to these additional delivery requirements. These requirements may make it more difficult for
shareholders to purchase or sell our common stock. Because the broker, not us, prepares this information, we would not be able
to assure that such information is accurate, complete or current.</FONT></P>

of these factors may result in large and sudden changes in the volume and price at which our common stock will trade. We cannot
give any assurance that these factors will not occur in the future again. In addition, the securities market has, from time to
time, experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that are not related to the operating performance of particular companies.
These market fluctuations may also have a material adverse effect on the market price of our common stock. In the past, following
periods of volatility in the market price of their stock, many companies have been the subject of securities class action litigation.
If we become involved in similar securities class action litigation in the future, it could result in substantial costs and diversion
of our management&rsquo;s attention and resources and could harm our stock price, business, prospects, financial condition and
results of operations.</FONT></P>

selling&nbsp;is the practice of&nbsp;selling&nbsp;securities that the seller does not own but rather has borrowed from a third
party with the intention of buying identical securities back at a later date to return to the lender. The&nbsp;short&nbsp;seller
hopes to profit from a decline in the value of the securities between the sale of the borrowed securities and the purchase of
the replacement shares, as the&nbsp;short&nbsp;seller expects to pay less in that purchase than it received in the sale. As it
is in the&nbsp;short&nbsp;seller&rsquo;s interest for the price of the security to decline, many&nbsp;short&nbsp;sellers publish,
or arrange for the publication of, negative opinions regarding the relevant issuer and its business prospects in order to create
negative market momentum and generate profits for themselves after&nbsp;selling&nbsp;a security&nbsp;short. These&nbsp;short&nbsp;attacks
have, in the past, led to&nbsp;selling&nbsp;of shares in the market.</FONT></P>

companies that have substantially all of their operations in China have been the subject of&nbsp;short selling. Much of the scrutiny

in financial and accounting irregularities and mistakes, inadequate corporate governance policies or a lack of adherence thereto
and, in many cases, allegations of fraud. As a result, a number of targets of such efforts are now conducting internal and external

defend against any such&nbsp;short&nbsp;seller attacks, we may be constrained in the manner in which we can proceed against the
relevant&nbsp;short&nbsp;seller by principles of freedom of speech, applicable state law or issues of commercial confidentiality.
Such a situation could be costly and time-consuming, and could distract our management from growing our business. Even if such

Acquisition of Controlling Interest Statute, prohibits an acquiror, under certain circumstances, from voting shares of a target

outstanding voting power. Once an acquiror crosses one of these thresholds, shares which it acquired in the transaction exceeding
