OUR FUTURE REVENUES DEPEND UPON CONTINUED MARKET ACCEPTANCE OF OUR STEVIOSIDE PRODUCTS AND APPLICATION OF STEVIOSIDE IN MAINSTREAM CONSUMER PRODUCTS.
Currently we derive a majority of our revenue from the sale of stevioside and stevioside based products, and we expect this will continue for the foreseeable future. If manufacturers and producers of products that use stevioside as a sweetener do not increase their purchases and the market does not continue to accept these products, our revenues will continue decline significantly, which would negatively affect our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
Factors that may affect the market acceptance of our stevioside based sweetener products include the taste, price, availability of supply, competing products, the development of stevioside-based flavors, and its applications in mainstream consumer products. Many of these factors, especially research and development activities related to stevioside-based flavors and mainstream consumer products, are beyond our control. |
