PRELIMINARY PROSPECTUS DATED [•], 2023

[] Class A Ordinary Shares

KINGTITAN TECHNOLOGY LIMITED

This is an initial public offering of our Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share (“Class A Ordinary Shares”). The offering of our Class A Ordinary Shares is being conducted on a firm commitment basis by Cathay Securities, Inc. See “Underwriting.” Prior to this offering, there has been no public market for our Class A Ordinary Shares or Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share (“Class B Ordinary Shares”). We currently expect that the initial public offering price for our Class A Ordinary Shares will be in the range of $[•] to $[•] per share.

Our authorized share capital is $50,000 divided into 400,000,000 Class A Ordinary Shares and 100,000,000 Class B Ordinary Shares, and we have 16,609,201 Class A Ordinary Shares and 3,390,799 Class B Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding, respectively. Holders of Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares have the same rights except for voting and conversion rights. In respect of matters requiring a vote of all shareholders, each holder of Class A Ordinary Shares will be entitled to one (1) vote per one Class A Ordinary Share and each holder of Class B Ordinary Shares will be entitled to thirty (30) votes per one Class B Ordinary Share. The Class A Ordinary Shares are not convertible into Class B Ordinary Shares under any circumstances. The Class B Ordinary Shares are convertible into Class A Ordinary Shares at any time after issuance at the option of the holder on a one-to-one basis. Upon any transfer or disposition of Class B Ordinary Shares by a holder thereof to any person or entity which is not an affiliate of such holder, such Class B Ordinary Shares validly transferred to the new holder shall be automatically and immediately converted into such number of Class A Ordinary Shares on a one-to-one basis.

Unless otherwise stated, as used in this prospectus, the terms “KTA Cayman,” “we,” “us,” “our Company,” and the “Company” refer to KINGTITAN TECHNOLOGY LIMITED, an exempted company with limited liability incorporated under the laws of Cayman Islands; “KTA BVI” refers to KINGTITAN (BVI) LIMITED, a company formed under the laws of the British Virgin Islands, which is wholly owned by KTA Cayman; “KTA HK” refers to KINGTITAN (HK) LIMITED, a Hong Kong corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of KTA BVI; “KTA WFOE” refers to Kingtitan Technology (Luchuan) Co., Ltd., a limited liability company organized under the laws of the PRC, which is wholly owned by KTA HK; the “Operating Entity” or “Yulin KTA” refers to Guangxi Yulin Kingtitan Technology Co., Ltd., a limited liability company organized under the laws of the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”), which is 88.24% owned by KTA WFOE; and the “PRC subsidiaries” refers to KTA WFOE and the Operating Entity, collectively.

We have reserved the symbol “KTA” for purposes of listing our Class A Ordinary Shares on the [Nasdaq Capital Market] (“Nasdaq”) and will apply to list our Class A Ordinary Shares on Nasdaq. At this time, Nasdaq has not yet approved our application to list our Class A Ordinary Shares. The closing of this offering is conditioned upon Nasdaq’s final approval of our listing application, and there is no assurance that our Class A Ordinary Shares will be approved for listing on Nasdaq.

Investing in our Class A Ordinary Shares involves a high degree of risk, including the risk of losing your entire investment. See “Risk Factors” beginning on page 15 to read about factors you should consider before buying our Class A Ordinary Shares.

We are a holding company incorporated in the Cayman Islands with no material operations of our own and not a Chinese operating company. We conduct a substantial majority of our operations through the Operating Entity established in the PRC. The Class A Ordinary Shares offered in this prospectus are shares of the Cayman Islands holding company instead of shares of the Operating Entity in the PRC. Holders of our Class A Ordinary Shares do not directly own any equity interests in the Operating Entity, but will instead own shares of the Cayman Islands holding company. We directly hold equity interests in the PRC subsidiaries and do not utilize variable interest entity (“VIE”) contractual agreements among the entities that may adversely affect investors or the value of their investment. The Chinese regulatory authorities could disallow our corporate

structure, which would likely result in a material change in our operations and/or a material change in the value of our Class A Ordinary Shares, including that it could cause the value of our Class A Ordinary Shares to significantly decline or become worthless. See “Risk Factors — Risks Relating to Doing Business in the PRC — The PRC government has significant authority to exert influence on our operations in mainland China.”

We are subject to certain legal and operational risks associated with the business operations of the PRC subsidiaries being based in China, which could cause the value of our securities to significantly decline or become worthless. Applicable PRC laws and regulations governing such current business operations are sometimes vague and uncertain, and as a result, these risks may result in material changes in the operations of the PRC subsidiaries, significant depreciation of the value of our Class A Ordinary Shares, or a complete hindrance of our ability to offer, or continue to offer, our securities to investors. Recently, the PRC government adopted a series of regulatory actions and issued statements to regulate business operations in China with little advance notice, including cracking down on illegal activities in the securities market, adopting new measures to extend the scope of cybersecurity reviews, and expanding the efforts in anti-monopoly enforcement. On December 28, 2021, 13 governmental departments of the PRC, including the Cyberspace Administration of China (the “CAC”), issued the Cybersecurity Review Measures, which became effective on February 15, 2022. As of the date of this prospectus, we have not received any notice from any authorities identifying our PRC subsidiaries as critical information infrastructure operators (“CIIOs”) or requiring us to go through cybersecurity review by the CAC. As confirmed by our PRC counsel, AllBright Law Offices (Fuzhou) (“AllBright”), neither the operations of our PRC subsidiaries, nor our listing are expected to be affected, and that we are not subject to cybersecurity review by the CAC under the Cybersecurity Review Measures, given that Yulin KTA is not a CIIO or online platform operator with personal information of more than one million users. See “Risk Factors — Risks Relating to Doing Business in the PRC — The impact of the CAC’s increasing oversight over data security remains highly uncertain, particularly for companies with substantial China operations seeking to list on a foreign stock exchange.”

On February 17, 2023, the China Securities Regulatory Commission (the “CSRC”) promulgated the Trial Administrative Measures of Overseas Securities Offering and Listing by Domestic Companies (the “Trial Measures”) and five supporting guidelines, which came into effect on March 31, 2023. We are required to file with the CSRC for this offering pursuant to the Trial Measures. As of the date of this prospectus, we have been preparing the necessary documents required for filing with the CSRC, in order to fully comply with the required filing procedure pursuant to the Trial Measures, and we have not received any formal inquiry, notice, warning, sanction, or objection from the CSRC with respect to this offering. Other than the foregoing, according to AllBright, as of the date of this prospectus, neither we and nor our subsidiaries are required to obtain any other permissions from any PRC authorities to operate or to issue our Class A Ordinary Shares to foreign investors or otherwise relating to our Class A Ordinary Shares. In addition, neither we nor our PRC subsidiaries have received any approvals or denials for our operations or the issuance of our Class A Ordinary Shares with respect to this offering. Since these statements and regulatory actions are newly published, however, government actions in the future, including any decision to intervene or influence the operations of the PRC subsidiaries at any time or to exert control over an offering of securities conducted overseas and/or foreign investment in China-based issuers, may cause us to make material changes to the operations of the PRC subsidiaries, may limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors, and/or may cause the value of such securities to significantly decline or be worthless. See “Risk Factors — Risks Relating to Doing Business in the PRC — The filing with the CSRC is required in connection with this offering, and we cannot predict whether we will be able to complete such filing.”

On February 24, 2023, the CSRC, Ministry of Finance of the PRC, National Administration of State Secrets Protection and National Archives Administration of China jointly revised the Provisions on Strengthening Confidentiality and Archives Administration in Overseas Issuance and Listing of Securities (the “Confidentiality and Archives Administration Provisions”), which came into effect on March 31, 2023. The Confidentiality and Archives Administration Provisions require that, overseas listed PRC domestic enterprises, as well as those to be listed, shall establish the confidentiality and archives system, and shall complete approval and filing procedures with competent authorities, if such PRC domestic enterprises or their overseas listing entities provide or publicly disclose documents or materials involving state secrets and work secrets of PRC government agencies to relevant securities companies, securities service institutions, overseas regulatory agencies and other entities and individuals. We believe that this offering does not involve the disclosure of any state secret or confidential information of government agencies, nor does it harm national security and public interests. As of the date of this prospectus, we have not received any formal inquiry, notice, warning, sanction, or objection from the CSRC with respect to this offering. As the Trial Measures and the Confidentiality and Archives Administration Provisions were newly published and there exists uncertainty

 

Table of Contents

with respect to the filing requirements and their implementation, we cannot be sure that we will be able to complete such filings in a timely manner, or at all. Any failure or perceived failure of us to fully comply with such new filing requirements under the Trial Measures may result in forced rectification, warnings and fines against us and could significantly hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer securities.

In addition, our Class A Ordinary Shares may be prohibited from trading on a national exchange under the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act (the “HFCA Act”), if the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (the “PCAOB”) is unable to inspect our auditors for two consecutive years. On December 16, 2021, the PCAOB issued a report on its determinations that it was unable to inspect or investigate completely PCAOB-registered public accounting firms headquartered in mainland China and in Hong Kong, because of positions taken by PRC authorities in those jurisdictions. Our auditor, TPS Thayer, LLC, is headquartered in Sugar Land, Texas, and has been inspected by the PCAOB on a regular basis, with the last inspection in September 2022. The PCAOB currently has access to inspect the working papers of our auditor and our auditor is not subject to the determinations announced by the PCAOB on December 16, 2021. If trading in our Class A Ordinary Shares is prohibited under the HFCA Act in the future because the PCAOB determines that it cannot inspect or fully investigate our auditor at such future time, Nasdaq may determine to delist our Class A Ordinary Shares and trading in our Class A Ordinary Shares could be prohibited. On August 26, 2022, the CSRC, the Ministry of Finance of the PRC (the “MOF”), and the PCAOB signed a Statement of Protocol (the “Protocol”), governing inspections and investigations of accounting firms based in mainland China and Hong Kong, taking the first step toward opening access for the PCAOB to inspect and investigate registered public accounting firms headquartered in mainland China and Hong Kong. Pursuant to the fact sheet with respect to the Protocol disclosed by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), the PCAOB shall have independent discretion to select any issuer audits for inspection or investigation and has the unfettered ability to transfer information to the SEC. On December 15, 2022, the PCAOB determined that the PCAOB was able to secure complete access to inspect and investigate registered public accounting firms headquartered in mainland China and Hong Kong and voted to vacate its previous determinations to the contrary. However, should PRC authorities obstruct or otherwise fail to facilitate the PCAOB’s access in the future, the PCAOB will consider the need to issue a new determination. On June 22, 2021, the U.S. Senate passed the Accelerating Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act, and on December 29, 2022, legislation entitled “Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023” (the “Consolidated Appropriations Act”) was signed into law by President Biden, which contained, among other things, an identical provision to the Accelerating Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act, and amended the HFCA Act by requiring the SEC to prohibit an issuer’s securities from trading on any U.S. stock exchanges if its auditor is not subject to PCAOB inspections for two consecutive years instead of three, thus reducing the time period for triggering the prohibition on trading in our securities if the PCAOB is unable to inspect our accounting firm at such future time. See “Risk Factors — Risks Relating to Doing Business in the PRC — Recent joint statement by the SEC and the PCAOB, rule changes by Nasdaq, and the HFCA Act all call for additional and more stringent criteria to be applied to emerging market companies upon assessing the qualification of their auditors, especially the non-U.S. auditors who are not inspected by the PCAOB. These developments could add uncertainties to our continued listing or future offerings of our securities in the U.S.

As of the date of this prospectus, none of our subsidiaries have made any dividends or distributions to our Company and our Company has not made any dividends or distributions to our shareholders. We intend to keep any future earnings to finance the expansion of our business, and we do not anticipate that any cash dividends will be paid in the foreseeable future. If we determine to pay dividends on any of our Class A Ordinary Shares in the future, as a holding company, we will be dependent on receipt of funds from our Hong Kong subsidiary, KTA HK. KTA HK will rely on payments made from KTA WFOE, which will in turn rely on payments made from Yulin KTA as dividends. However, as the PRC government imposes control over currency conversion, it has the authority to conduct exchange transfer reviews, which may impose certain limitations on our ability to transfer cash among our Company, our subsidiaries, and our investors, primarily reflected in the following aspects: (i) we are restricted from injecting capital in, or providing loans to, PRC subsidiaries, which may adversely affect the operations of our PRC subsidiaries; (ii) our PRC subsidiaries may be restricted from paying dividends to us; and (iii) if we are unable to obtain dividends from our PRC subsidiaries, it may adversely impact our dividends distribution to investors. See “Risk Factors — Risks Relating to Doing Business in the PRC — We may rely on dividends and other distributions on equity paid by our PRC subsidiaries to fund any cash and financing requirements we may have, and any limitation on the ability of our PRC subsidiaries to make payments to us could have a material and adverse effect on our ability to conduct the business.” Further, to the extent cash or assets in the business are in the PRC/Hong Kong or a PRC/Hong Kong entity, the funds or assets may not be available to fund operations or for other use outside of the PRC/Hong Kong due to interventions in or

 

Table of Contents

the imposition of restrictions and limitations on the ability of our Company or our subsidiaries by the PRC government to transfer cash or assets. There is no assurance the PRC government will not intervene in or impose restrictions on the ability of our Company or our subsidiaries to transfer cash or assets. As of the date of this prospectus, we do not have any cash management policies or procedures that dictate how funds are transferred within our organization. As of the date of this prospectus, no cash transfer or transfer of other assets has occurred between our Company and our subsidiaries. See “Prospectus Summary — Asset Transfers Between Our Company and Our Subsidiaries,” “Prospectus Summary — Dividends or Distributions Made to Our Company and U.S. Investors and Tax Consequences,” and our audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2023 and 2022.

We are an “emerging growth company” as defined under the federal securities laws and will be subject to reduced public company reporting requirements. Please read the disclosures beginning on page 9 of this prospectus for more information.

Following the completion of this offering, Mr. Bing Wang, our CEO and Chairman of the Board of Directors, will beneficially own [•]% of the aggregate voting power of our issued and outstanding Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares, as a group, assuming no exercise of the over-allotment option, or approximately [•]%, assuming full exercise of the over-allotment option, in each case excluding the number of Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Representative’s Warrants (as defined below). As such, we will be deemed to be a “controlled company” under Nasdaq Marketplace Rules 5615(c). However, even if we are deemed to be a “controlled company,” we do not intend to avail ourselves of the corporate governance exemptions afforded to a “controlled company” under the Nasdaq Marketplace Rules. See “Risk Factors — Risks Relating to this Offering and the Trading Market — Since we are a ‘controlled company’ within the meaning of the Nasdaq listing rules, we may follow certain exemptions from certain corporate governance requirements that could adversely affect our public shareholders.

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

The following summary is qualified in its entirety by, and should be read in conjunction with, the more detailed information and financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus. In addition to this summary, we urge you to read the entire prospectus carefully, especially the risks of investing in our Class A Ordinary Shares, discussed under “Risk Factors,” before deciding whether to buy our Class A Ordinary Shares.

Our Corporate Structure

We are a holding company incorporated in the Cayman Islands with no material operations of our own and not a Chinese operating company. We conduct a substantial majority of our operations through the Operating Entity established in the PRC. The Class A Ordinary Shares offered in this prospectus are shares of the Cayman Islands holding company instead of shares of the Operating Entity in the PRC. Holders of our Class A Ordinary Shares do not directly own any equity interests in the Operating Entity, but will instead own shares of the Cayman Islands holding company. We directly hold equity interests in the PRC subsidiaries and do not utilize VIE contractual agreements among the entities that may adversely affect investors or the value of their investment. The Chinese regulatory authorities could disallow our corporate structure, which would likely result in a material change in our operations and/or a material change in the value of our Class A Ordinary Shares, including that it could cause the value of our Class A Ordinary Shares to significantly decline or become worthless. See “Risk Factors — Risks Relating to Doing Business in the PRC — The PRC government has significant authority to exert influence on our operations in mainland China.”

The following diagram illustrates our corporate structure as of the date of this prospectus and upon the completion of this offering, assuming the sales of all of the Class A Ordinary Shares we are offering at an assumed public offering price of $[•] per share. All percentages in the diagram reflect the voting ownership interests instead of the equity interests held by each of our shareholders, since each holder of Class B Ordinary Shares will be entitled to 30 votes per one Class B Ordinary Share and each holder of Class A Ordinary Shares will be entitled to one vote per one Class A Ordinary Share. For more details on our corporate history, please refer to “Corporate History and Structure.”

COVID-19 Impact

From 2020 to 2022, the COVID-19 pandemic had some negative impacts on Yulin KTA’s business operations in China. During such period, many of Yulin KTA’s suppliers, customers, and business partners went out of business and domestic consumption slowed. Since Yulin KTA started mass production when the COVID-19 virus began to spread in the beginning of 2020, we do not have quantifiable data to show our financial performance prior to the COVID-19 pandemic or demonstrate the extent of the impact of the COVID-19 on Yulin KTA’s business. However, Yulin KTA did experience delays in collecting account receivables, a lack of market demand and difficulties in market expansion as a result of restricted public activities during the COVID-19 pandemic. As of the date of this prospectus, the Chinese government has eased the COVID-19 restrictions. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — The Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic” and “Risk Factors — Risks Relating to Our Business and Industry — Yulin KTA must successfully manage the demand, supply and operational challenges associated with the effects of a disease outbreak, including epidemics, pandemics or similar widespread public health concerns.”

Permissions or Approval Required from the PRC Authorities for Operations and this Offering

Our PRC legal counsel, AllBright, has advised us that, in order to operate our business activities as currently conducted in China, the PRC subsidiaries are required to obtain a business license from the State Administration for Market Regulation (“SAMR”). As of the date of this prospectus, as confirmed by AllBright, each of our PRC subsidiaries has obtained a valid business license from the SAMR and no application for any such license has been denied. However, it is uncertain whether we or our PRC subsidiaries will be required to obtain additional approvals, licenses, or permits in connection with our business operations pursuant to evolving PRC laws and regulations, and whether we will be able to obtain or renew any such additional approvals on a timely basis or at all is not assured. Failing to do so could result in a material change in our operations, and the value of our Class A Ordinary Shares could depreciate significantly or become worthless. As of the date of this prospectus, AllBright has advised us that neither we nor any of the PRC subsidiaries (1) is subject to approval requirements from the CAC, or any other entity to approve our operations, and (2) has been denied such permissions by any PRC authorities.

Table of Contents

We are subject to certain legal and operational risks associated with the business operations of the PRC subsidiaries being based in China, which could cause the value of our securities to significantly decline or become worthless. Applicable PRC laws and regulations governing such current business operations are sometimes vague and uncertain, and as a result, these risks may result in material changes in the operations of the PRC subsidiaries, significant depreciation of the value of our Class A Ordinary Shares, or a complete hindrance of our ability to offer, or continue to offer, our securities to investors. Recently, the PRC government adopted a series of regulatory actions and issued statements to regulate business operations in China with little advance notice, including cracking down on illegal activities in the securities market, adopting new measures to extend the scope of cybersecurity reviews, and expanding the efforts in anti-monopoly enforcement. On December 28, 2021, 13 governmental departments of the PRC, including the Cyberspace Administration of China (the “CAC”), issued the Cybersecurity Review Measures, which became effective on February 15, 2022. As of the date of this prospectus, we have not received any notice from any authorities identifying our PRC subsidiaries as critical information infrastructure operators (“CIIOs”) or requiring us to go through cybersecurity review by the CAC. As confirmed by our PRC counsel, AllBright Law Offices (Fuzhou) (“AllBright”), neither the operations of our PRC subsidiaries, nor our listing are expected to be affected, and that we are not subject to cybersecurity review by the CAC under the Cybersecurity Review Measures, given that Yulin KTA is not a CIIO or online platform operator with personal information of more than one million users. See “Risk Factors — Risks Relating to Doing Business in the PRC — The impact of the CAC’s increasing oversight over data security remains highly uncertain, particularly for companies with substantial China operations seeking to list on a foreign stock exchange.”

On February 17, 2023, the China Securities Regulatory Commission (the “CSRC”) promulgated the Trial Administrative Measures of Overseas Securities Offering and Listing by Domestic Companies (the “Trial Measures”) and five supporting guidelines, which came into effect on March 31, 2023. We are required to file with the CSRC for this offering pursuant to the Trial Measures. As of the date of this prospectus, we have been preparing the necessary documents required for filing with the CSRC, in order to fully comply with the required filing procedure pursuant to the Trial Measures, and we have not received any formal inquiry, notice, warning, sanction, or objection from the CSRC with respect to this offering. Other than the foregoing, as of the date of this prospectus, according to AllBright, we and our subsidiaries are currently not required to obtain any other permission from any PRC authorities to operate or to issue our Class A Ordinary Shares to foreign investors or otherwise relating to our Class A Ordinary Shares. In addition, neither we nor our PRC subsidiaries have received any approvals or denials for our operations or the issuance of our Class A Ordinary Shares with respect to this offering. Since these statements and regulatory actions are newly published, however, government actions in the future, including any decision to intervene or influence the operations of the PRC subsidiaries at any time or to exert control over an offering of securities conducted overseas and/or foreign investment in China-based issuers, may cause us to make material changes to the operations of the PRC subsidiaries, may limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors, and/or may cause the value of such securities to significantly decline or be worthless. See “Risk Factors — Risks Relating to Doing Business in the PRC — The filing with the CSRC is required in connection with this offering, and we cannot predict whether we will be able to complete such filing.”

In addition, our Class A Ordinary Shares may be prohibited from trading on a national exchange under the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act (the “HFCA Act”), if the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (the “PCAOB”) is unable to inspect our auditors for two consecutive years. On December 16, 2021, the PCAOB issued a report on its determinations that it was unable to inspect or investigate completely PCAOB-registered public accounting firms headquartered in mainland China and in Hong Kong, because of positions taken by PRC authorities in those jurisdictions. Our auditor, TPS Thayer, LLC, is headquartered in Sugar Land, Texas, and has been inspected by the PCAOB on a regular basis, with the last inspection in September 2022. The PCAOB currently has access to inspect the working papers of our auditor and our auditor is not subject to the determinations announced by the PCAOB on December 16, 2021. If trading in our Class A Ordinary Shares is prohibited under the HFCA Act in the future because the PCAOB determines that it cannot inspect or fully investigate our auditor at such future time, Nasdaq may determine to delist our Class A Ordinary Shares and trading in our Class A Ordinary Shares could be prohibited. On August 26, 2022, the CSRC, the Ministry of Finance of the PRC (the “MOF”), and the PCAOB signed a Statement of Protocol (the “Protocol”), governing inspections and investigations of accounting firms based in mainland China and Hong Kong, taking the first step toward opening access for the PCAOB to inspect and investigate registered public accounting firms headquartered in mainland China and Hong Kong. Pursuant to the fact sheet with

7

Table of Contents

respect to the Protocol disclosed by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), the PCAOB shall have independent discretion to select any issuer audits for inspection or investigation and has the unfettered ability to transfer information to the SEC. On December 15, 2022, the PCAOB determined that the PCAOB was able to secure complete access to inspect and investigate registered public accounting firms headquartered in mainland China and Hong Kong and voted to vacate its previous determinations to the contrary. However, should PRC authorities obstruct or otherwise fail to facilitate the PCAOB’s access in the future, the PCAOB will consider the need to issue a new determination. On June 22, 2021, the U.S. Senate passed the Accelerating Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act, and on December 29, 2022, legislation entitled “Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023” (the “Consolidated Appropriations Act”) was signed into law by President Biden, which contained, among other things, an identical provision to the Accelerating Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act and amended the HFCA Act by requiring the SEC to prohibit an issuer’s securities from trading on any U.S. stock exchanges if its auditor is not subject to PCAOB inspections for two consecutive years instead of three, thus reducing the time period for triggering the prohibition on trading in our securities if the PCAOB is unable to inspect our accounting firm at such future time. See “Risk Factors — Risks Relating to Doing Business in the PRC — Recent joint statement by the SEC and the PCAOB, rule changes by Nasdaq, and the HFCA Act all call for additional and more stringent criteria to be applied to emerging market companies upon assessing the qualification of their auditors, especially the non-U.S. auditors who are not inspected by the PCAOB. These developments could add uncertainties to our continued listing or future offerings of our securities in the U.S.

Asset Transfers Between Our Company and Our Subsidiaries

As of the date of this prospectus, no cash transfer or transfer of other assets has occurred between our Company and our subsidiaries. We currently do not have other cash management policies or procedures that dictate how funds are transferred within our organization.

Dividends or Distributions Made to Our Company and U.S. Investors and Tax Consequences

As of the date of this prospectus, none of our subsidiaries has made any dividends or distributions to our Company and our Company has not made any dividends or distributions to our shareholders. We intend to keep any future earnings to finance the expansion of our business, and we do not anticipate that any cash dividends will be paid in the foreseeable future. Subject to the passive foreign investment company (“PFIC”) rules, the gross amount of distributions we make to investors with respect to our Class A Ordinary Shares (including the amount of any taxes withheld therefrom) will be taxable as a dividend, to the extent that the distribution is paid out of our current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles.

Under the Cayman Islands law, a Cayman Islands company may pay a dividend on its shares out of either profit or share premium amount, provided that in no circumstances may a dividend be paid out of share premium if this would result in the company being unable to pay its debts as they fall due in the ordinary course of business.

If we determine to pay dividends on any of our Class A Ordinary Shares in the future, as a holding company, we will be dependent on receipt of funds from our Hong Kong subsidiary, KTA HK. However, as the PRC government imposes control over currency conversion, it has the authority to conduct exchange transfer reviews, which may impose certain limitations on our ability to transfer cash among our Company, our subsidiaries, and our investors, primarily reflected in the following aspects: (i) we are restricted from injecting capital in, or providing loans to, our PRC subsidiaries, which may adversely affect the operations of our PRC subsidiaries; (ii) our PRC subsidiaries may be restricted from paying dividends to us; and (iii) if we are unable to obtain dividends from our PRC subsidiaries, it may adversely impact our dividends distribution to investors. Further, to the extent cash or assets in the business are in the PRC/Hong Kong or a PRC/Hong Kong entity, the funds or assets may not be available to fund operations or for other use outside of the PRC/Hong Kong due to interventions in or the imposition of restrictions and limitations on the ability of our Company or our subsidiaries by the PRC government to transfer cash or assets. There is no assurance the PRC government will not intervene in or impose restrictions on the ability of our Company or our subsidiaries to transfer cash or assets. See “Risk Factors — Risks Relating to Doing Business in the PRC — We may rely on dividends and other distributions on equity paid by our PRC subsidiaries to fund any cash and financing requirements we may have, and any limitation on the ability of our PRC subsidiaries to make payments to us could have a material and adverse effect on our ability to conduct the business.”

Table of Contents

Current PRC regulations permit KTA WFOE to pay dividends to KTA HK only out of its accumulated profits, if any, determined in accordance with Chinese accounting standards and regulations. The PRC government also imposes controls on the conversion of RMB into foreign currencies and the remittance of currencies out of the PRC. For instance, the Circular on Promoting the Reform of Foreign Exchange Management and Improving Authenticity and Compliance Review, or “SAFE Circular 3,” issued on January 26, 2017, provides that banks shall, when dealing with dividend remittance transactions from a domestic enterprise to its offshore shareholders of more than $50,000, review the relevant board resolutions, original tax filing form, and audited financial statements of such domestic enterprise based on the principle of genuine transaction. Furthermore, if KTA WFOE and its subsidiary, Yulin KTA, incur debt on their own in the future, the instruments governing the debt may restrict their ability to pay dividends or make other payments. If we or our PRC subsidiaries are unable to receive all of the revenue from its operations, we may be unable to pay dividends on our Class A Ordinary Shares.

Cash dividends, if any, on our Class A Ordinary Shares will be paid in U.S. dollars. KTA HK may be considered a non-resident enterprise for tax purposes, so that any dividends KTA WFOE pays to KTA HK may be regarded as China-sourced income and as a result may be subject to PRC withholding tax at a rate of up to 10%. See “Material Income Tax Consideration — People’s Republic of China Enterprise Taxation.”

Pursuant to the Arrangement between Mainland China and the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region for the Avoidance of Double Taxation and Tax Evasion on Income (the “Double Tax Avoidance Arrangement”), the 10% withholding tax rate may be lowered to 5% if a Hong Kong resident enterprise owns no less than 25% of a PRC project. The 5% withholding tax rate, however, does not automatically apply and certain requirements must be satisfied, including without limitation that (a) the Hong Kong project must be the beneficial owner of the relevant dividends; and (b) the Hong Kong project must directly hold no less than 25% share ownership in the PRC project during the 12 consecutive months preceding its receipt of the dividends. In current practice, a Hong Kong project must obtain a tax resident certificate from the Hong Kong tax authority to apply for the 5% lower PRC withholding tax rate. As the Hong Kong tax authority will issue such a tax resident certificate on a case-by-case basis, we cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain the tax resident certificate from the relevant Hong Kong tax authority and enjoy the preferential withholding tax rate of 5% under the Double Taxation Arrangement with respect to any dividends paid by KTA WFOE to their immediate holding company, KTA HK. As of the date of this prospectus, we have not applied for the tax resident certificate from the relevant Hong Kong tax authority. KTA HK intends to apply for the tax resident certificate if and when KTA WFOE plans to declare and pay dividends to KTA HK. See “Risk Factors — Risks Relating to Doing Business in the PRC — We may rely on dividends and other distributions on equity paid by our PRC subsidiaries to fund any cash and financing requirements we may have, and any limitation on the ability of our PRC subsidiaries to make payments to us could have a material and adverse effect on our ability to conduct the business.”

Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company

As a company with less than $1.235 billion in revenue during our last fiscal year, we qualify as an “emerging growth company” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, or the “JOBS Act.” An “emerging growth company” may take advantage of reduced reporting requirements that are otherwise applicable to larger public companies. In particular, as an emerging growth company, we:

        may present only two years of audited financial statements and only two years of related Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations;

        are not required to provide a detailed narrative disclosure discussing our compensation principles, objectives and elements and analyzing how those elements fit with our principles and objectives, which is commonly referred to as “compensation discussion and analysis”;

        are not required to obtain an attestation and report from our auditors on our management’s assessment of our internal control over financial reporting pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002;

        are not required to obtain a non-binding advisory vote from our shareholders on executive compensation or golden parachute arrangements (commonly referred to as the “say-on-pay,” “say-on frequency,” and “say-on-golden-parachute” votes);

9

Table of Contents

        are exempt from certain executive compensation disclosure provisions requiring a pay-for-performance graph and CEO pay ratio disclosure;

        are eligible to claim longer phase-in periods for the adoption of new or revised financial accounting standards under §107 of the JOBS Act; and

        will not be required to conduct an evaluation of our internal control over financial reporting until our second annual report on Form 20-F following the effectiveness of our initial public offering.

We intend to take advantage of the above-described reduced reporting requirements and exemptions, including the longer phase-in periods for the adoption of new or revised financial accounting standards under §107 of the JOBS Act until we no longer meet the definition of an emerging growth company. Our election to use the phase-in periods may make it difficult to compare our financial statements to those of non-emerging growth companies and other emerging growth companies that have opted out of the phase-in periods under §107 of the JOBS Act.

The JOBS Act provides that we would cease to be an “emerging growth company” at the end of the fiscal year in which the fifth anniversary of our initial sale of common equity pursuant to a registration statement declared effective under the Securities Act occurred, if we have more than $1.235 billion in annual revenue, have more than $700 million in market value of our Class A Ordinary Shares held by non-affiliates, or issue more than $1 billion in principal amount of non-convertible debt over a three-year period.

Foreign Private Issuer Status

We are a foreign private issuer within the meaning of the rules under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). As such, we are exempt from certain provisions applicable to United States domestic public companies. For example:

        we are not required to provide as many Exchange Act reports, or as frequently, as a domestic public company;

        for interim reporting, we are permitted to comply solely with our home country’s requirements, which are less rigorous than the rules that apply to domestic public companies;

        we are not required to provide the same level of disclosure on certain issues, such as executive compensation;

        we are exempt from provisions of Regulation FD aimed at preventing issuers from making selective disclosures of material information;

        we are not required to comply with the sections of the Exchange Act regulating the solicitation of proxies, consents, or authorizations in respect of a security registered under the Exchange Act; and

        we are not required to comply with Section 16 of the Exchange Act requiring insiders to file public reports of their share ownership and trading activities and establishing insider liability for profits realized from any “short-swing” trading transaction.

Controlled Company

Upon completion of this offering, Mr. Bing Wang, our CEO and Chairman of the Board of Directors, will beneficially own approximately [•]% of the aggregate voting power of our outstanding Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares, as a group, assuming no exercise of the over-allotment option, or [•]%, assuming full exercise of the over-allotment option, in each case excluding the number of Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Representative’s Warrants. As a result, we will be deemed to be a “controlled company” for the purpose of the Nasdaq listing rules. As a controlled company, we are permitted to elect to rely on certain exemptions from the obligations to comply with certain corporate governance requirements, including:

        the requirement that our director nominees be selected or recommended solely by independent directors; and

10

Table of Contents

        the requirement that we have a nominating and corporate governance committee and a compensation committee that are composed entirely of independent directors with a written charter addressing the purposes and responsibilities of the committees.

Although we do not intend to rely on the controlled company exemptions under the Nasdaq listing rules even if we are deemed to be a controlled company, we could elect to rely on these exemptions in the future, and if so, you would not have the same protection afforded to shareholders of companies that are subject to all of the corporate governance requirements of Nasdaq.

RISK FACTORS

An investment in our Class A Ordinary Shares involves a high degree of risk. Before deciding whether to invest in our Class A Ordinary Shares, you should consider carefully the risks described below, together with all of the other information set forth in this prospectus, including the section titled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and our consolidated financial statements and related notes. If any of these risks actually occurs, our Operating Entity’s business, and our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flow could be materially and adversely affected, which could cause the trading price of our Class A Ordinary Shares to decline, resulting in a loss of all or part of your investment. The risks described below and discussed in other parts of this prospectus are not the only ones that we face. Additional risks not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also affect us. You should only consider investing in our Class A Ordinary Shares if you can bear the risk of loss of your entire investment.

Risks Relating to Doing Business in the PRC

The filing with the CSRC is required in connection with this offering, and we cannot predict whether we will be able to complete such filing.

On July 6, 2021, the General Office of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the General Office of the State Council jointly issued the Opinions on Severely Cracking Down on Illegal Securities Activities, or the Opinions, which emphasized the need to strengthen administration over illegal securities activities and supervision of overseas listings by China-based companies. The Opinions proposed promoting regulatory systems to deal with risks facing China-based overseas-listed companies, and provided that the State Council will revise provisions regarding the overseas issuance and listing of shares by companies limited by shares and will clarify the duties of domestic regulatory authorities.

On February 17, 2023, the CSRC released the Trial Measures, and five supporting guidelines, which took effect on March 31, 2023. Pursuant to the Trial Measures, domestic companies that seek to list overseas, both directly and indirectly, should fulfill the filing procedure and report relevant information to the CSRC. Where a domestic company seeks to conduct indirect overseas offerings and listings, the issuer shall designate a major domestic operating entity. This entity shall act as the domestic responsible entity and be responsible for filing with the CSRC. If a domestic company fails to complete the filing procedure or conceals any material fact or falsifies any major content in its filing documents, such domestic company may be subject to administrative penalties, such as orders to rectify, warnings, fines, and its controlling shareholders, actual controllers, the person directly in charge, and other directly liable persons may also be subject to administrative penalties, such as warnings and fines.

According to the relevant PRC laws and regulations as of the date of this prospectus, our offering will be deemed to be an indirect overseas listing by a domestic company by the CSRC. We shall fulfill the filing procedure with the CSRC in accordance with the Trial Measures. We will complete the filing procedure with the CSRC before the listing of this offering. As of the date of this prospectus, we have been preparing the necessary documents required for filing with the CSRC, in order to fully comply with the required filing procedure pursuant to the Trial Measures, and we have not received any formal inquiry, notice, warning, sanction, or objection from the CSRC with respect to this offering.

However, since the Trial Measures are newly promulgated, the interpretation, application and enforcement of Trial Measures remain unclear. If the filing procedure with the CSRC under the Trial Measures is required for any future offerings or any other capital raising activities, it is uncertain whether it would be possible for us to complete the filing, or how long it will take us to do so. Failure to complete the required filing may result in an investigation by the relevant authorities, as well as fines or penalties, and could lead to an order prohibiting us from conducting an offering. These risks have the potential to cause a material adverse change in our operations and the value of our Class A Ordinary Shares. Moreover, they could significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors, or cause such securities to significantly decline in value or become worthless.

On February 24, 2023, the CSRC jointly with other relevant governmental authorities, promulgated the Provisions on Strengthening Confidentiality and Archives Administration of Overseas Securities Offering and Listing by Domestic Companies, or the Confidentiality and Archives Administration Provisions, which took effect on March 31, 2023. According to the Confidentiality and Archives Administration Provisions, domestic companies, whether offering and listing securities overseas directly or indirectly, must strictly comply with the applicable laws and regulations when providing or publicly disclosing, either directly or through their overseas listed entities, documents and materials to securities services

15

Table of Contents

providers, such as securities companies and accounting firms or overseas regulators in the process of their overseas offering and listing. If such documents or materials contain any state secrets or government authorities’ work secrets, domestic companies must obtain the approval from competent governmental authorities according to the applicable laws, and file with the secrecy administrative department at the same level with the approving governmental authority. Furthermore, the Confidentiality and Archives Administration Provisions provide that securities companies and securities service providers shall fulfill the applicable legal procedures when providing overseas regulatory institutions and other relevant institutions and individuals with documents or materials containing any state secrets or government authorities work secrets or other documents or materials that, if divulged, will jeopardize national security or public interest. Since the Confidentiality and Archives Administration Provisions were promulgated recently, substantial uncertainties still exist with respect to the interpretation and implementation of such provisions and how they will affect us.

If it is determined that we are subject to the approval of the CSRC for this offering, we may fail to obtain such approval, filing or meet such requirements in a timely manner or at all, or approval could be rescinded. Any failure to obtain or delay in obtaining such approval, filing or completing such procedures for this offering, or a rescission of any such approval or filing obtained by us, would subject us to sanctions by the CSRC or other PRC regulatory authorities. These regulatory authorities may impose fines and penalties on our operations in China, limit our ability to pay dividends outside of China, limit our operating privileges in China, delay or restrict the repatriation of the offering or future capital raising activities into China, or take other actions that could materially and adversely affect Yulin KTA’s business, our financial condition, results of operations and prospects, as well as this offering and the listing of our Class A Ordinary Shares.

The CSRC or other PRC regulatory authorities may also take actions requiring us, or making it advisable for us, to halt this offering or future capital raising activities before settlement and delivery of our Class A Ordinary Shares we are offering hereby. Consequently, if you engage in market trading or other activities in anticipation of and prior to settlement and delivery, you do so at the risk that settlement and delivery may not occur. In addition, if the CSRC or other regulatory authorities later promulgate new rules or explanations requiring that we obtain their approvals or accomplish the required filing or other regulatory procedures for this offering or future capital raising activities, we may be unable to obtain a waiver of such approval requirements, if and when procedures are established to obtain such a waiver. Such procedures for obtaining the waiver remain unclear. Any uncertainties or negative publicity regarding such approval, filing or other requirements could materially and adversely affect our prospects, financial condition, reputation, and this offering and the listing of our Class A Ordinary Shares.

The impact of the CAC’s increasing oversight over data security remains highly uncertain, particularly for companies with substantial China operations seeking to list on a foreign stock exchange.

On December 28, 2021, 13 governmental departments of the PRC, including the CAC, issued the Cybersecurity Review Measures, which became effective on February 15, 2022. Pursuant to the Cybersecurity Review Measures, critical information infrastructure operators that intend to purchase internet products and services which have or may have an adverse effect on national security must apply for cybersecurity review, and online platform operators holding personal information of over one million users that intend to list their securities on a foreign stock exchange must apply for cybersecurity review. In the meantime, the governmental authorities have the discretion to initiate a cybersecurity review on any data processing activity if they deem such a data processing activity affects or may affect national security.

As of the date of this prospectus, we have not received any notice from any PRC regulatory authority identifying our PRC subsidiaries as CIIOs or requiring us to go through cybersecurity review pursuant to the Cybersecurity Review Measures. According to the Cybersecurity Review Measures, we do not expect to become subject to cybersecurity review by the CAC for this offering, given that: (i) the data handled in the business operations of Yulin KTA, either by its nature or in scale, do not normally trigger significant concerns over PRC national security and (ii) we have not processed, and do not anticipate to process in the foreseeable future, personal information of more than one million users or persons. Based on the above and the information currently available, we believe the impact of the CAC’s increasing oversight over data security on us is immaterial as of the date of this prospectus.

However, there remains uncertainty as to how the Cybersecurity Review Measures will be interpreted or implemented and whether the PRC regulatory authorities may adopt new laws, regulations, rules, or detailed implementation and interpretation in relation, or in addition to the Cybersecurity Review Measures. While we intend to closely monitor the evolving laws and regulations in this area and take all reasonable measures to mitigate compliance risks, we cannot guarantee that our operations will not be adversely affected by the potential impact of the Cybersecurity Review Measures or other laws and regulations related to privacy, data protection and information security.

We may be influenced by changes in the political and economic policies of the PRC government.

A substantial portion of our assets and operations are currently located in mainland China. Accordingly, we may be influenced to a significant degree by political and social conditions in China generally. The Chinese economy differs from the economies of most developed countries in many respects, including the level of government involvement, level of development, growth rate, control of foreign exchange and allocation of resources. Although the Chinese government has implemented measures emphasizing the utilization of market forces for economic reform, the reduction of state ownership of productive assets, and the establishment of improved corporate governance in business enterprises, a substantial portion of productive assets in China is still owned by the government. In addition, the Chinese government continues to play a significant role in regulating industry development by imposing industrial policies. The Chinese government also exercises significant control over China’s economic growth by allocating resources, controlling payment of foreign currency-denominated obligations, setting monetary policy, and providing preferential treatment to companies in particular industries or regions. While the Chinese economy has experienced significant growth over past decades, growth has been uneven, both geographically and among various sectors of the economy. Any adverse changes in economic conditions in China, in the policies of the Chinese government or in the laws and regulations in China could have a material adverse effect on the overall economic growth of China. Such developments could adversely affect our results of operations, lead to a reduction in demand for our future products and adversely affect our competitive position.

Uncertainties with respect to the enforcement of laws, and changes in laws and regulations in China with little advance notice, could materially and adversely affect us.

Our operations in mainland China are conducted by Yulin KTA and are governed by PRC laws and regulations. The PRC legal system is a civil law system based on written statutes. Unlike the common law system, prior court decisions may be cited for reference but do not have binding authority. There are substantial uncertainties regarding the interpretation and application of PRC laws and regulations including, but not limited to, the laws and regulations governing Yulin KTA’s business and the enforcement and performance of Yulin KTA’s business arrangements in certain circumstances. The laws and regulations are sometimes vague and may be subject to future changes, and their official interpretation and enforcement could be unpredictable, with little advance notice. The effectiveness and interpretation of newly enacted laws or regulations, including amendments to existing laws and regulations, may be delayed, and Yulin KTA’s business may be affected if Yulin KTA relies on laws and regulations which are subsequently adopted or interpreted in a manner different from its current understanding of these laws and regulations. New laws and regulations that affect existing and proposed future businesses may also be applied retroactively. We cannot predict what effect the interpretation of existing or new PRC laws or regulations may have on Yulin KTA’s business.

Since late 1970s, the PRC government has been developing a comprehensive system of laws and regulations governing economic matters in general. The overall effect of legislation over the past several decades has significantly enhanced the protections afforded to various forms of foreign investments in China. However, China has not developed a fully integrated legal system, and recently enacted laws and regulations may not sufficiently cover all aspects of economic activities in China. In particular, because these laws and regulations are relatively new, and because of the limited volume of published decisions and their nonbinding nature, the interpretation and enforcement of these laws and regulations involve uncertainties. In addition, the PRC legal system is based in part on government policies and internal rules, some of which may not be published on a timely basis or at all, and some of which may have a retroactive effect. As a result, Yulin KTA may not be aware of its violation of these policies and rules until sometime after the violation. Any administrative and court proceedings in China may be protracted, resulting in substantial costs and diversion of resources and management attention. However, since PRC administrative and court authorities have significant discretion in interpreting and implementing statutory and contractual terms, it may be more difficult to evaluate the outcome of administrative and court proceedings and the level of legal protection than in more developed legal systems. These uncertainties may also impede Yulin KTA’s ability to enforce the contracts it has entered into. As a result, these uncertainties could materially and adversely affect Yulin KTA’s business and our results of operations.

The PRC government has significant authority to exert influence on our operations in mainland China.

The PRC government has significant authority to exert influence on our business operations in mainland China, which are conducted by Yulin KTA. Therefore, uncertainties in the PRC legal system and the interpretation and enforcement of PRC laws and regulations could limit the legal protection available to you and us, hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer our Class A Ordinary Shares, result in a material adverse effect on our operations, and damage

17

our reputation, which might further cause our Class A Ordinary Shares to significantly decline in value or become worthless. Changes in China’s economic, political or social conditions, or government policies could materially and adversely affect Yulin KTA’s business, and our financial condition and results of operations.

The economic, political and social conditions in the PRC differ from those in more developed countries in many respects, including structure, government involvement, level of development, growth rate, control of foreign exchange, capital reinvestment, allocation of resources, rate of inflation and trade balance position. Before the adoption of its reform and opening up policies in 1978, the PRC was primarily a planned economy. In recent years, the PRC government has been reforming the PRC economic system and government structure. For example, the PRC government has implemented economic reform and measures emphasizing the utilization of market forces in the development of the PRC economy in the past three decades. These reforms have resulted in significant economic growth and social prospects. Economic reform measures, however, may be adjusted, modified or applied inconsistently from industry to industry or across different regions of the country.

We cannot predict whether the resulting changes will have any adverse effect on Yulin KTA’s current or future business, and our financial condition or results of operations. Despite these economic reforms and measures, the PRC government continues to play a significant role in regulating industrial development, allocation of natural and other resources, production, pricing and management of currency, and there can be no assurance that the PRC government will continue to pursue a policy of economic reform or that the direction of reform will continue to be market friendly. Yulin KTA’s ability to successfully expand the business operations in the PRC depends on a number of factors, including macro-economic and other market conditions. Demand for Yulin KTA’s future products in the Chinese market, Yulin KTA’s business, and our financial condition and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected by the following factors:

        changes in political or social conditions of the PRC;

        changes in laws, regulations, and administrative directives or the interpretation thereof;

        measures which may be introduced to control inflation or deflation; and

        changes in the rate or method of taxation.

These factors are affected by a number of variables which are beyond our control.

Recent negative publicity surrounding China-based companies listed in the United States may negatively impact the trading price of our Class A Ordinary Shares.

We believe that recent negative publicity surrounding companies with operations in China that are listed in the United States have negatively impacted the stock prices of these companies. Certain politicians in the United States have publicly warned investors to shun China-based companies listed in the United States. The SEC and the PCAOB, also issued a joint statement on April 21, 2020, reiterating the disclosure, financial reporting and other risks involved in the investments in companies that are based in emerging markets as well as the limited remedies available to investors who might take legal action against such companies.

Furthermore, various equity-based research organizations have recently published reports on China-based companies after examining their corporate governance practices, related party transactions, sales practices and financial statements, and these reports have led to special investigations and listing suspensions on U.S. national exchanges. Any similar scrutiny on us, regardless of its lack of merit, could cause the market price of our Class A Ordinary Shares to fall, divert management resources and energy, and cause us to incur expenses in defending ourselves against rumors.

PRC regulation of loans to, and direct investments in, PRC entities by offshore holding companies may delay or prevent us from making loans or additional capital contributions to our PRC subsidiaries and thereby prevent us from funding Yulin KTA’s business.

As an offshore holding company with PRC subsidiaries, we may transfer funds to our PRC subsidiaries by means of loans or capital contributions. Any loans to our Operating Entity, Yulin KTA, cannot exceed statutory limits based on the difference between the amount of our investments and registered capital in such subsidiary, and shall be registered with the State Administration of Foreign Exchange (“SAFE”), or its local counterparts. Furthermore, at this stage, any capital increase contributions we make to Yulin KTA, shall be registered with the SAMR or its local

18

Table of Contents

counterparts, and reported to the Ministry of Commerce or its local counterparts. In addition, the PRC government also restricts the convertibility of foreign currencies into RMB and use of the proceeds. Furthermore, SAFE promulgated a series of rules and regulations, including Notice on Reforming the Management Method for the Settlement of Foreign Exchange Capital of Foreign-invested Enterprises, the Circular on Reforming and Regulating Policies on the Management of Foreign Exchange Settlement of Capital Accounts, and the Circular to Further Facilitating Cross-border Trade and Investment, to further regulate all the foreign-invested companies to use RMB converted from foreign currency-denominated capital for equity investments in China.

In light of the various requirements imposed by PRC regulations on loans to, and direct investment in, PRC entities by offshore holding companies, we may not be able to obtain these government registrations or approvals on a timely basis, if at all, with respect to future loans to our PRC subsidiaries or future capital contributions by us to our PRC subsidiaries. If we fail to receive such registrations or approvals, our ability to provide loans or capital to increase contributions to our PRC subsidiaries may be negatively affected, which could adversely affect their liquidity and our ability to fund and expand Yulin KTA’s business.

We may rely on dividends and other distributions on equity paid by our PRC subsidiaries to fund any cash and financing requirements we may have, and any limitation on the ability of our PRC subsidiaries to make payments to us could have a material and adverse effect on our ability to conduct the business.

We are a holding company, and we may rely principally on dividends and other distributions on equity paid by our PRC subsidiaries for our cash and financing requirements, including the funds necessary to pay dividends and other cash distributions to our shareholders and service any debt we may incur. If our PRC subsidiaries incur debt on their own behalf in the future, the instruments governing the debt may restrict their ability to pay dividends or make other distributions to us.

If we determine to pay dividends on any of our Class A Ordinary Shares in the future, as a holding company, we will be dependent on receipt of funds from our Hong Kong subsidiary, KTA HK. KTA HK will rely on payments made from KTA WFOE, which will in turn rely on payments made from Yulin KTA.

Current PRC regulations permit KTA WFOE, to pay dividends to KTA HK only out of their accumulated profits, if any, determined in accordance with Chinese accounting standards and regulations. In addition, KTA WFOE is required to set aside at least 10% of its after-tax profits each year, if any, to fund a statutory reserve until such reserve reaches 50% of its registered capital.

In addition, the PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law, and its implementation rules provide that withholding tax rate of 10% will be applicable to dividends payable by PRC companies to non-PRC-resident enterprises unless otherwise exempted or reduced according to treaties or arrangements between the PRC central government and governments of other countries or regions where the non-PRC-resident enterprises are incorporated. Pursuant to the Double Tax Avoidance Arrangement, the 10% withholding tax rate may be lowered to 5% if a Hong Kong resident enterprise owns no less than 25% of a PRC project. The 5% withholding tax rate, however, does not automatically apply and certain requirements must be satisfied, including without limitation that (a) the Hong Kong project must be the beneficial owner of the relevant dividends; and (b) the Hong Kong project must directly hold no less than 25% share ownership in the PRC project during the 12 consecutive months preceding its receipt of the dividends. In current practice, a Hong Kong project must obtain a tax resident certificate from the Hong Kong tax authority to apply for the 5% lower PRC withholding tax rate. As the Hong Kong tax authority will issue such a tax resident certificate on a case-by-case basis, we cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain the tax resident certificate from the relevant Hong Kong tax authority and enjoy the preferential withholding tax rate of 5% under the Double Taxation Arrangement with respect to any dividends paid by KTA WFOE to its immediate holding company, KTA HK. As of the date of this prospectus, we have not applied for the tax resident certificate from the relevant Hong Kong tax authority. KTA HK intends to apply for the tax resident certificate if and when KTA WFOE plans to declare and pay dividends to KTA HK.

Any limitation on the ability of our PRC subsidiaries to pay dividends or make other distributions to us could materially and adversely limit our ability to grow, make investments or acquisitions that could be beneficial to the business, pay dividends, or otherwise fund and conduct the business.

Conversion of RMB to and from other currency may be subject to governmental control in China.

Currently, the RMB cannot be freely converted into any foreign currency. The PRC government imposes controls on the convertibility of RMB into foreign currencies and, in certain cases, the remittance of currency out of China. Shortages in the availability of foreign currency may restrict the ability of our PRC subsidiaries to remit sufficient foreign currency to pay dividends or other payments to us, or otherwise satisfy their foreign currency dominated obligations. Under existing PRC foreign exchange regulations, payments of current account items, including profit distributions, interest payments, and expenditures from trade-related transactions, can be made in foreign currencies without prior approval from SAFE by complying with certain procedural requirements. However, for most capital account items, approval from or registration with appropriate government authorities is required where RMB is to be converted into foreign currency and remitted out of China to pay capital expenses such as the repayment of bank loans denominated in foreign currencies. The PRC government may also at its discretion restrict access in the future to foreign currencies for current account transactions. If the foreign exchange control system prevents us from obtaining sufficient foreign currency to satisfy our currency demands, we may not be able to pay dividends in foreign currencies to our shareholders, including holders of our Class A Ordinary Shares.

We may be negatively affected by the potential obligations to make additional social insurance and housing fund contributions.

Our PRC subsidiaries are required by PRC labor laws and regulations to make registrations for social insurance and housing funds, and to pay various statutory employee benefits, including pension insurance, medical insurance, work-related injury insurance, unemployment insurance, maternity insurance, and housing provident funds, to designated government agencies for the benefit of their employees. The relevant government agencies may examine whether our PRC subsidiaries are in compliance with the relevant labor laws and regulations. Failure to make full payment of the requisite statutory employee benefits and any potential non-compliance may subject them to late payment fees, fines, and/or other penalties.

As of the date of this prospectus, Yulin KTA has not made full contributions to social security insurance plans and housing provident fund for Yulin KTA’s employees in compliance with the relevant PRC regulations. As a result, Yulin KTA may be required to make up the contributions for these plans as well as to pay late fees and fines. As of the date of this prospectus, the aggregate amount of underpayment of employee social insurance and housing provident fund was RMB1,072,278 (approximately $156,135), with an estimated maximum penalty of approximately RMB436,612 (approximately $63,553).

As the interpretation and implementation of these regulations are evolving, employment practices of our PRC subsidiaries may not be at all times deemed in compliance with the regulations. As a result, these entities could be subject to penalties or incur significant liabilities in connection with labor disputes or investigations.

It may be difficult for overseas regulators to conduct investigations or collect evidence within the PRC.

Shareholder claims or regulatory investigation that are common in the United States generally are difficult to pursue as a matter of law or practicality in China. For example, in China, there are significant legal and other obstacles to providing information needed for regulatory investigations or litigation initiated outside China. Although the authorities in China may establish a regulatory cooperation mechanism with the securities regulatory authorities of another country or region to implement cross-border supervision and administration, such cooperation with the securities regulatory authorities in the Unities States may not be efficient in the absence of a mutual and practical cooperation mechanism. Furthermore, according to Article 177 of the PRC Securities Law, which became effective in March 2020, no overseas securities regulator is allowed to directly conduct investigation or evidence collection activities within the territory of the PRC; no organization or individual is allowed to provide documents and information related to securities business activities to overseas securities regulators without the consent of the securities regulatory authority under the State Council and the relevant competent department under the State Council; and according to the Data Security Law, which became effective from September 1, 2021, no organization or individual within the territory of the PRC may provide foreign judicial or law enforcement authorities with data stored within the territory of the PRC without the approval of the competent authorities of the PRC. While detailed interpretation of or implementation rules under these regulations have yet to be promulgated, the inability of an overseas securities regulator to directly conduct investigation or evidence collection activities within China may further increase difficulties faced by you in protecting your interests.

We may be deemed to be a PRC resident enterprise under the Enterprise Income Tax Law, and be subject to the PRC taxation on our worldwide income, which may significantly increase our income tax expenses and materially decrease our profitability.

Under the PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law, enterprises established outside of China whose “de facto management bodies” are located in China are considered to be “resident enterprises” and will generally be subject to a uniform 25% corporate income tax on their global income (excluding dividends received from “resident enterprises”). In addition, a circular issued by State Administration of Taxation, or the SAT, on April 22, 2009 and amended on January 29, 2014, sets out certain standards for determining whether the “de facto management body” of an offshore enterprise funded by Chinese enterprises as controlling shareholders is located in China. Although this circular applies only to offshore enterprises funded by Chinese enterprises as controlling shareholders, rather than those funded by Chinese or foreign individuals or foreign enterprises as controlling shareholders, the determining criteria set forth in the circular may reflect SAT’s general position on how the “de facto management body” test should be applied in determining the tax resident status of offshore enterprises, regardless of how they are funded. Substantial uncertainties remain as to whether our Company or any of our other non-PRC subsidiaries will be deemed a PRC resident enterprise for the Enterprise Income Tax purposes. If we or any of our subsidiaries registered outside the PRC are to be deemed a “resident enterprise” under the PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law, our income tax expenses may increase significantly, and our profitability could decrease materially.

We face uncertainties in the PRC with respect to indirect transfer of equity interests in our PRC subsidiaries.

Provided that our Cayman Islands holding company is not deemed to be a PRC resident enterprise, our shareholders who are not PRC residents will not be subject to PRC income tax on dividends distributed by us or gains realized from the sale or other disposition of our Ordinary Shares. However, under SAT Circular 7 and SAT Circular 37, where a non-resident enterprise conducts an “indirect transfer” by transferring taxable assets, including, in particular, equity interests in a PRC resident enterprise, indirectly by disposing of the equity interests of an overseas holding company, the non-resident enterprise, being the transferor, or the transferee or the PRC entity which directly owned such taxable assets may report to the relevant tax authority such indirect transfer. Using a “substance over form” principle, the PRC tax authority may disregard the existence of the overseas holding company if it lacks a reasonable commercial purpose and was established for the purpose of reducing, avoiding or deferring PRC tax. As a result, gains derived from such indirect transfer may be subject to PRC enterprise income tax, and the transferee or other person who is obligated to pay for the transfer is obligated to withhold the applicable taxes, currently at a rate of 10% for the transfer of equity interests in a PRC resident enterprise. However, sales of our Class A Ordinary Shares by investors through a public stock exchange where Class A Ordinary Shares are acquired on a public stock exchange are currently exempt from these indirect transfer rules under SAT Circular 7 and SAT Circular 37.

The indirect transfer of equity interest in PRC enterprises by a non-resident enterprise, is potentially subject to income tax in China at a rate of 10% on the gain if such transfer is considered not to have a commercial purpose and is carried out for tax avoidance. We also face uncertainties as to the reporting and other implications of certain past and future transactions where PRC taxable assets are involved, such as offshore restructuring, sale of the shares in our offshore subsidiaries or investments. Our Company may be subject to filing obligations or taxed if our Company is transferor in such transactions, and may be subject to withholding obligations if our Company is transferee in such transaction. For transfer of shares in our Company by investors that are non-PRC resident enterprises, our PRC subsidiaries may be requested to assist in investors’ tax filing in China. As a result, we may be required to expend valuable resources to comply with SAT Circular 7 and SAT Circular 37 or to request the relevant transferors from whom we purchase taxable assets to comply with these publications, or to establish that our Company should not be taxed under these publications, which may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

Recent joint statement by the SEC and the PCAOB, rule changes by Nasdaq, and the HFCA Act all call for additional and more stringent criteria to be applied to emerging market companies upon assessing the qualification of their auditors, especially the non-U.S. auditors who are not inspected by the PCAOB. These developments could add uncertainties to our continued listing or future offerings of our securities in the U.S.

On April 21, 2020, SEC Chairman Jay Clayton and PCAOB Chairman William D. Duhnke III, along with other senior SEC staff, released a joint statement highlighting the risks associated with investing in companies based in or have substantial operations in emerging markets including China. The joint statement emphasized the risks associated with lack of access for the PCAOB to inspect auditors and audit work papers in China and higher risks of fraud in emerging markets.

On May 18, 2020, Nasdaq filed three proposals with the SEC to (i) apply a minimum offering size requirement for companies primarily operating in a “Restrictive Market,” (ii) adopt a new requirement relating to the qualification of management or the board of directors for Restrictive Market companies, and (iii) apply additional and more stringent criteria to an applicant or listed company based on the qualifications of the company’s auditor. On October 4, 2021, the SEC approved Nasdaq’s revised proposal for the rule changes.

On May 20, 2020, the U.S. Senate passed the HFCA Act requiring a foreign company to certify it is not owned or controlled by a foreign government if the PCAOB is unable to audit specified reports because the company uses a foreign auditor not subject to PCAOB inspection. If the PCAOB is unable to inspect the company’s auditors for three consecutive years, the issuer’s securities are prohibited to trade on a national exchange. On December 2, 2020, the U.S. House of Representatives approved the HFCA Act. On December 18, 2020, the HFCA Act was signed into law.

On March 24, 2021, the SEC announced the adoption of interim final amendments to implement the submission and disclosure requirements of the HFCA Act. In the announcement, the SEC clarifies that before any issuer will have to comply with the interim final amendments, the SEC must implement a process for identifying covered issuers. The announcement also states that the SEC staff is actively assessing how best to implement the other requirements of the HFCA Act, including the identification process and the trading prohibition requirements.

On September 22, 2021, the PCAOB adopted a final rule implementing the HFCA Act, which provides a framework for the PCAOB to use when determining, as contemplated under the HFCA Act, whether the board of directors of a company is unable to inspect or investigate completely registered public accounting firms located in a foreign jurisdiction because of a position taken by one or more authorities in that jurisdiction.

On December 2, 2021, the SEC adopted amendments to finalize rules implementing the submission and disclosure requirements in the HFCA Act, which became effective on January 10, 2022. The rules apply to registrants that the SEC identifies as having filed an annual report with an audit report issued by a registered public accounting firm that is located in a foreign jurisdiction and that the PCAOB is unable to inspect or investigate completely because of a position taken by an authority in foreign jurisdictions. For example, on December 16, 2021, the PCAOB issued a report on its determinations that it is unable to inspect or investigate completely PCAOB-registered public accounting firms headquartered in mainland China and in Hong Kong, because of positions taken by PRC authorities in those jurisdictions. The Board made these determinations pursuant to PCAOB Rule 6100, which provides a framework for how the PCAOB fulfills its responsibilities under the HFCA Act.

The lack of access to the PCAOB inspection in China prevents the PCAOB from fully evaluating audits and quality control procedures of the auditors based in China. As a result, investors may be deprived of the benefits of such PCAOB inspections. The inability of the PCAOB to conduct inspections of auditors in China makes it more difficult to evaluate the effectiveness of these accounting firm’s audit procedures or quality control procedures as compared to auditors outside of China that are subject to the PCAOB inspections, which could cause existing and potential investors in our Class A Ordinary Shares to lose confidence in our audit procedures and reported financial information and the quality of our financial statements.

Our auditor, the independent registered public accounting firm that issues the audit report included elsewhere in this prospectus, as an auditor of companies that are traded publicly in the United States and a firm registered with the PCAOB, is subject to laws in the United States pursuant to which the PCAOB conducts regular inspections to assess its compliance with the applicable professional standards. Our auditor, TPS Thayer, LLC, is headquartered in Sugar Land, Texas, and has been inspected by the PCAOB on a regular basis, with the last inspection in September 2022. The PCAOB currently has access to inspect the working papers of our auditor and our auditor is not subject to the determinations announced by the PCAOB on December 16, 2021. However, the recent developments would add uncertainties to our offering and we cannot assure you whether Nasdaq or regulatory authorities would apply additional and more stringent criteria to us since we are an emerging growth company and the majority of our operations are conducted in China. Furthermore, if the PCAOB is unable to inspect our accounting firm in the future, the HFCA Act, which requires that the PCAOB be permitted to inspect an issuer’s public accounting firm within two years, as amended, will prohibit trading in our securities, and, as a result, an exchange may determine to delist our securities and trading in our securities could be prohibited.

On August 26, 2022, the CSRC, the MOF, and the PCAOB signed the Protocol governing inspections and investigations of accounting firms based in mainland China and Hong Kong, taking the first step toward opening access for the PCAOB to inspect and investigate registered public accounting firms headquartered in mainland China

and Hong Kong. Pursuant to the fact sheet with respect to the Protocol disclosed by the SEC, the PCAOB shall have independent discretion to select any issuer audits for inspection or investigation and has the unfettered ability to transfer information to the SEC. On December 15, 2022, the PCAOB determined that the PCAOB was able to secure complete access to inspect and investigate registered public accounting firms headquartered in mainland China and Hong Kong and voted to vacate its previous determinations to the contrary. However, should PRC authorities obstruct or otherwise fail to facilitate the PCAOB’s access in the future, the PCAOB will consider the need to issue a new determination.

On June 22, 2021, the U.S. Senate passed the Accelerating Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act. On December 29, 2022, the Consolidated Appropriations Act was signed into law by President Biden. The Consolidated Appropriations Act contained, among other things, an identical provision to Accelerating Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act, which reduced the number of consecutive non-inspection years required for triggering the prohibitions under the HFCA Act from three years to two.

The recent developments would add uncertainties to our offering and may result in prohibitions on the trading of our Class A Ordinary Shares on Nasdaq, if our auditors fail to meet the PCAOB inspection requirement in time.

Risks Relating to Our Business and Industry

Yulin KTA is exposed to price fluctuations of principal raw materials and cost variations arising from energy consumption.

Our Company conducts its business operations in China through Yulin KTA. Yulin KTA uses various raw materials, most significantly hardware, polyurethane, and packaging components in manufacturing its products. Yulin KTA is exposed to price fluctuations of principal raw materials. In addition, Yulin KTA’s business is susceptible to increases in other costs such as energy prices to run its manufacturing and warehousing facilities as a result of factors beyond control, including pandemics and general economic conditions. Although Yulin KTA attempts to pass on certain material price and other cost increases to its customers, there is no assurance that Yulin KTA will be able to do so in the future. Any increase in the price of principal raw materials that is not passed on to customers could result in declining margins and have a material adverse effect on Yulin KTA’s financial condition and results of operations. In addition, lower raw material costs may put downward pressure on the price of products, which could ultimately reduce margins and adversely affect Yulin KTA’s results of operations. If Yulin KTA is unable to obtain adequate sources of raw materials or energy at reasonable costs, its operations could be interrupted.

The loss of multiple suppliers may adversely affect Yulin KTA’s business.

Yulin KTA sources raw materials from various suppliers. If Yulin KTA’s suppliers are unable to provide raw materials in a timely manner, or are unable to meet Yulin KTA’s quality, quantity or cost requirements, Yulin KTA may not in all cases be able to promptly obtain substitute sources. Any extended delay in receiving critical materials could impair Yulin KTA’s ability to deliver products to its customers. The loss of multiple suppliers, the inability to establish relationships with replacement suppliers, or the inability of Yulin KTA’s suppliers to meet price, quality, quantity, and delivery requirements could have a significant adverse impact on Yulin KTA’s results of operations.

Yulin KTA is dependent on a limited number of suppliers for the provision of a majority of its raw materials.

Yulin KTA depends on a limited number of suppliers for the provision of a majority of its raw materials. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023, four suppliers accounted for 21%, 14%, 12% and 11% of the total purchase costs, respectively. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022, three suppliers accounted for 45%, 18% and 14% of the total purchase costs, respectively. If, for some reasons, Yulin KTA were to experience any material disruptions to its sourcing from any of its key suppliers or discontinue its collaboration with any of its key suppliers, Yulin KTA may not be able to switch to an alternative supplier within a short period of time or at all. Even if Yulin KTA is able to switch to an alternative supplier, Yulin KTA may not be able to do so on the same or similar terms. As a result, Yulin KTA’s business and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.

23

Table of Contents

Yulin KTA’s operations depend on its ability to maintain continuous, uninterrupted production at its manufacturing facilities, which are subject to physical and other risks that could disrupt production.

Yulin KTA is subject to inherent risks from its manufacturing activities, including but not limited to product quality, safety, licensing requirements and other regulatory issues, environmental events, and industrial accidents. A catastrophic loss of the use of all or a portion of Yulin KTA’s facilities due to accident, fire, explosion, natural disaster or any other reason, whether short or long-term, could have a material adverse effect on Yulin KTA’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

Unexpected failures of Yulin KTA’s equipment, machinery and manufacturing processes may also result in production delays, revenue loss and significant repair costs, as well as injuries to the employees. Any interruption in production capability may require Yulin KTA to make large capital expenditures to remedy the situation, which could have a negative impact on Yulin KTA’s profitability and cash flows. A temporary or long-term business disruption could result in a permanent loss of customers. If this were to occur, Yulin KTA’s future sales levels and profitability could be materially adversely affected.

Yulin KTA cooperates with third parties to manufacture certain products it sells. Any failure by or loss of multiple third-party manufacturers could result in delays and increased costs.

Besides in-house manufacturing, Yulin KTA also cooperates with third-party manufacturers to produce certain products it sells. However, there is no assurance that the third-party manufacturers will be able to meet Yulin KTA’s manufacturing requirements. There is also no assurance that Yulin KTA will be able to renew its existing agreements or be able to negotiate new agreements with the third-party manufacturers at reasonable rates or on a timely basis. Other risks include reliance on third-party manufacturers for regulatory compliance, quality assurance, limited ability to manage inventory, and possible breach of the manufacturing agreements or misappropriation of Yulin KTA’s intellectual property by third-party manufacturers. If any of these events were to occur, Yulin KTA’s business and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.

Yulin KTA faces the risks associated with relying on certain key manufacturers.

Yulin KTA relies on certain key manufacturers. For the fiscal years ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, one and two of Yulin KTA’s manufacturers independently accounted for more than 10% of the finished products by value, respectively. If any of Yulin KTA’s major third-party manufacturer suffers damage to facilities, loses benefits under material agreements, experiences power outages, encounters financial difficulties, is unable to secure necessary raw materials or suffers any other reduction in efficiency, Yulin KTA may experience significant business disruption. In the event of any such disruption, or if Yulin KTA were to discontinue its relationship with any major manufacturer for any reason, Yulin KTA will need to seek and source other qualified third-party manufacturers, which is likely to result in further delays and increased costs.

Yulin KTA’s business may face risks associated with logistics and distribution.

After production, Yulin KTA is responsible for delivering the products from its warehouse to its customers’ storage facilities. If operations at Yulin KTA’s warehouse or the customers’ storage facilities are adversely affected by factors beyond control, such as fire, natural disasters, disease outbreaks, pandemics, armed conflict, strikes and stoppages, power shortages, failures in the systems, forest fires and deforestation, and in the event that no other warehouse or storage facility is able to meet the demand of the region affected, the distribution of products to the regions supplied by the warehouse or storage facility will be impaired. Any significant interruptions, failures or changes in the logistics infrastructure that Yulin KTA uses to deliver products could prevent the timely or successful delivery of the products to the customers. If Yulin KTA is not able to expand or adjust the existing distribution networks in order to meet the supply needs, Yulin KTA’s business will be adversely affected.

Yulin KTA’s customer base is relatively concentrated.

For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023, three customers accounted for 19%, 13% and 11% of the Company’s revenues. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022, two customers accounted for approximately 21% and 13% of the Company’s revenues. Yulin KTA’s business could be adversely affected if one of its larger customers reduces, or otherwise eliminates in full, its purchases from Yulin KTA due to work stoppages or slowdowns, financial difficulties, or other reasons. There can be no assurance that Yulin KTA will be able to maintain its long-term relationships with its major customers, which could have an adverse effect on Yulin KTA’s results of operations.

Yulin KTA faces substantial competition and its market share could decline.

Yulin KTA competes against many large and small tire manufacturers, including pneumatic and non-pneumatic tire manufacturers in China, some of which are larger and have greater financial and marketing resources than Yulin KTA. Yulin KTA’s ability to compete successfully will depend, in part, on its ability to continue to innovate and manufacture the types of products demanded by customers, and to reduce costs by such means as reducing excess and high-cost capacity, improving productivity and eliminating redundancies. If Yulin KTA is unable to compete successfully, its market share may decline, materially adversely affecting its results of operations and financial condition.

There can be no assurance that Yulin KTA’s business will not be adversely affected by increased competition in Yulin KTA’s market, or that competitors will not develop products that are more effective or less expensive than Yulin KTA’s products or which could render certain products less competitive. There can be no assurance that in the future Yulin KTA’s competitors will not reduce prices or that any such reductions would not have a material adverse effect on Yulin KTA’s business.

Changes in industry trends may adversely affect Yulin KTA’s business, financial condition and operating results.

Yulin KTA operates in an industry that is subject to rapid and unpredictable changes. The tire industry may experience significant changes due to the introduction of new technologies, business models or methods of travel. As the tire industry evolves, Yulin KTA may need to provide a wider range of products to remain competitive, including products that Yulin KTA does not currently have the capability to manufacture. The demand for Yulin KTA’s products may also decline if automotive production declines and/or total vehicle miles traveled declines, including as a result of increasing fuel costs. If Yulin KTA does not accurately predict, prepare for and respond to market developments, technological innovations and changing customers and customer needs and preferences, Yulin KTA’s results of operations and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.

Significant challenges or delays in the innovation and development of new products, technologies and indications could have an adverse impact on Yulin KTA’s long-term success.

Yulin KTA’s continued success depends in part on its ability to innovate and develop new products that address the evolving needs of customers. Development of successful products and technologies is also necessary to offset revenue losses when Yulin KTA’s existing products lose market share due to factors such as competition. The innovation and development depend on many factors including the ability to: discern future needs; develop promising new strategies and technologies; secure effective intellectual property protection; obtain any required regulatory approvals on a timely basis; and, if and when they reach the market, successfully differentiate Yulin KTA’s products from competing products. New products or enhancements to existing products may not be accepted quickly or significantly in the marketplace due to product and price competition, and changes in customer preferences or purchasing patterns. Yulin KTA cannot be certain when or whether it will be able to develop products and technologies, or whether particular products will be commercially successful, which could have an adverse impact on Yulin KTA’s long-term success.

The slowing or stopping of the development or acceptance of non-pneumatic tires may adversely affect Yulin KTA’s business.

Yulin KTA generates revenue primarily through selling non-pneumatic tires. In comparison to pneumatic tires, non-pneumatic tires are a new type of product that offers a new feature; namely, the elimination of the need for air inflation. For further descriptions on Yulin KTA’s non-pneumatic tires, see “Business — Our Strengths.” Although we believe non-pneumatic tires represent the development trend for the future, the development of non-pneumatic tires is subject to a high degree of uncertainty. The utilization of non-pneumatic tires may face opposition by certain participants in the market, who may criticize non-pneumatic tires for being more expensive or demonstrating poor performance, whether or not such criticism is legitimate. If the development of non-pneumatic tires does not achieve the desired market popularity or acceptance, it may have a material adverse impact on Yulin KTA’s business and prospects.

Yulin KTA’s success depends in part on the quality of its products.

Yulin KTA’s success depends in part on the quality of its products. As of the date of this prospectus, Yulin KTA has not been subject to any significant product quality incidents, nor has it been sanctioned by any relevant government authorities for product quality issues, nor has it received any complaints from any end users about product quality issues. Yulin KTA has put measures in place to control the quality of products. See “Business — Our Products — Product Quality.”

Table of Contents

In the event of a significant product recall, product-related litigation, product misuse, negative perceptions of products, lack of recyclability or other environmental impacts, allegations of product tampering, the distribution and sale of counterfeit products and other similar events, or adverse publicity about these types of concerns relating to Yulin KTA’s brand or to the industry as a whole, whether or not legitimate, it may discourage customers from purchasing Yulin KTA’s products. If customers lose confidence in Yulin KTA’s products, Yulin KTA could experience long-term declines in sales.

If Yulin KTA is unable to conduct marketing activities in a cost-effective manner, its results of operations and financial condition may be materially and adversely affected.

Yulin KTA utilizes a broad mix of marketing programs, including online advertising and other types of advertising activities such as trade shows. There is no assurance that these marketing programs will always be well received or result in the anticipated levels of sales, that these programs will always be implemented in a cost-effective manner, that these programs will always keep pace with industry developments and consumer preferences, or that Yulin KTA will be able to recruit or retain experienced marketing employees. Failure to implement the existing marketing programs in a cost-effective manner or to introduce new branding approaches to adapt to the evolving trends could reduce Yulin KTA’s market share and cause its revenue to decline.

Increased labor costs, inability to retain suitable employees, or unfavorable labor relations may adversely affect the business, financial condition or results of operations.

Yulin KTA devotes significant resources to retaining and attracting suitable employees. Its ability to manage and control labor costs is subject to numerous external factors, including market pressures with respect to prevailing wage rates, unemployment levels, health and other insurance costs, as well as the impact of legislation or regulations governing wage and employee benefits. Any changes in these external factors could significantly increase labor costs, which would reduce Yulin KTA’s net income and cash flows.

Yulin KTA aims to motivate and retain qualified employees. If the employees are unsatisfied with what Yulin KTA offers, such as remuneration packages or working environment, Yulin KTA may not be able to retain qualified employees or replace them with personnel of appropriate skill sets and personal attributes at comparable costs. In such event, Yulin KTA may need to expend additional resources to retain or replace suitable employees.

From time to time, Yulin KTA may be subject to various employment-related claims, such as individual actions or government enforcement actions relating to wage-hour, labor standards, or healthcare and benefit issues. Such actions, if brought against Yulin KTA and successful, in whole or in part, may materially and adversely affect Yulin KTA’s business.

If Yulin KTA loses key personnel, its business may be adversely affected.

Yulin KTA depends on the continued contributions of key employees, including members of senior management team. Failure to attract, motivate and retain key employees, changes in the senior management teams, or failure to develop and implement a viable succession plan, could adversely affect Yulin KTA’s business and future success. In addition, if any member of senior management team or any other key employee joins a competitor or forms a competing company, Yulin KTA may experience difficulty in managing its business effectively. Any such disruption or difficulty in filling key management roles could adversely affect Yulin KTA’s business.

Yulin KTA leases facilities from a third party, and there is no assurance that Yulin KTA will be able to renew the leases or find suitable alternative premises upon the expiration of the relevant lease terms.

Yulin KTA constructs the manufacturing and warehousing facilities and provides lodging to its employees on leased properties. Although Yulin KTA has maintained good relationships with the third-party landowners, there is no assurance that Yulin KTA will be able to renew such leases on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. In the event that Yulin KTA is unable to renew the current leases, it will be forced to relocate and may not be able to find suitable alternative premises. Even if Yulin KTA is able to find desirable alternative locations, it may incur extraordinary relocation costs, hefty rental payments and significant managerial expenses. If any of these events occurs, Yulin KTA’s business may be materially and adversely affected.

26

Table of Contents

Yulin KTA may not be able to protect its intellectual property rights.

Yulin KTA’s success depends in part on its ability to defend its intellectual property rights. As of the date of this prospectus, Yulin KTA has registered 2 domain names, and 18 patents in China. Yulin KTA considers the invention patents are of such importance that the loss or expiration thereof would materially affect its business. The improper or unauthorized use of Yulin KTA’s intellectual property rights may decrease the brand value and cause a decline in sales. Yulin KTA could, even if by omission, fail to renew an intellectual property right in a timely manner, or third parties may challenge, and succeed in obtaining the invalidation of, any existing or future intellectual property issued to, or licensed to Yulin KTA. Monitoring the unauthorized use of intellectual property requires significant effort. There is no assurance that the steps that have been, or will be, taken to protect intellectual property rights will be sufficient or that third parties will not infringe upon or misappropriate proprietary rights. If Yulin KTA is unable to protect its proprietary rights against infringement or misappropriation, it could adversely affect Yulin KTA’s business.

Litigation may also be necessary to defend against claims of infringement or invalidity by others as Yulin KTA actively pursues product innovation and enhances the value of its intellectual property portfolio. An adverse outcome in litigation or any similar proceedings could adversely affect Yulin KTA’s business, financial condition and results of operation. In addition, the diversion of management’s attention and resources while addressing any intellectual property litigation claim, regardless of whether the claim is valid, could be significant and could materially affect Yulin KTA’s business, financial condition and results of operation.

Interruptions or failures that impair access to information technology systems could adversely affect the business of Yulin KTA.

Yulin KTA relies on information technology systems, some of which are managed by third parties, to process, transmit, and store information in relation to its operations. These information technology systems may be vulnerable to interruption due to a variety of events beyond control, including but not limited to, natural disasters, telecommunications failures, computer viruses, hacking and other security issues. Any material interruptions or failures in these information technology systems could cause disruptions in business operations and may require a significant investment to update, remediate or replace with alternate systems. The costs and potential problems associated with supporting, maintaining, remediating and upgrading the existing information technology systems, or with implementing new systems, may severely disrupt Yulin KTA’s business operations.

Adverse litigation judgments or settlements resulting from legal proceedings could reduce the profits or negatively affect Yulin KTA’s business operations.

As of the date of this prospectus, Yulin KTA is not a party to any material lawsuits and we are not aware of any threats of lawsuits against Yulin KTA that are anticipated to have a major impact on Yulin KTA’s business. Yulin KTA may, in the future, be subject to allegations, claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of its business, which may include claims by shareholders and claims by third parties, including manufacturers, distributors, business partners, or regulators. If any of these proceedings is determined adversely against Yulin KTA, or results in judgments, fines or settlements involving a payment of a material sum of money, it could materially and adversely affect Yulin KTA’s business, financial condition, and results of operations. In addition, the associated negative publicity could adversely affect Yulin KTA’s reputation and brand. Even the successful defense of these proceedings may cause Yulin KTA to incur substantial legal costs and may divert management’s attention and resources.

Yulin KTA may be subject to product liability and warranty claims.

Yulin KTA warrants its products to be free of certain defects for a certain period of time and, accordingly, may be subject, in the ordinary course of business, to product liability or product warranty claims. Losses may result or be alleged to result from defects in Yulin KTA’s products, which could subject Yulin KTA to claims for damages, including consequential damages. There can be no assurance that Yulin KTA’s insurance coverage will be adequate for liabilities actually incurred or that adequate insurance will be available on terms acceptable to Yulin KTA. Any claims relating to defective products that result in liability exceeding the insurance coverage could have a material adverse effect on Yulin KTA’s financial condition and results of operations. Further, claims of defects could result in negative publicity against Yulin KTA, which could adversely affect Yulin KTA’s business and reputation.

Table of Contents

Yulin KTA is subject to a variety of environmental laws that could be costly for it to comply with, and it could incur liability if it fails to comply with such laws or if it is responsible for releases of contaminants to the environment, which could adversely affect our Company.

Yulin KTA’s manufacturing process leads to the production of certain solid waste. Chinese laws impose various environmental controls on the management, handling, generation, manufacturing, transportation, storage, use and disposal of wastewater, solid waste and other materials used or generated in the manufacturing of products. Yulin KTA endeavors to adhere to environmental protection and governance requirements. As of the date of this prospectus, Yulin KTA has not received any formal inquiry, notice, warning, sanction, or objection from the relevant government authorities with respect to environmental protection issues.

Environmental laws could require Yulin KTA to acquire costly equipment or to incur other significant expenses in connection with its manufacturing processes. Changes in environmental laws may result in costly compliance requirements or otherwise subject Yulin KTA to future liabilities. We cannot predict with any certainty the future capital expenditure requirements because of continually changing compliance standards and environmental technology. Material future expenditures may be necessary if compliance standards change, if material unknown conditions that require remediation are discovered, or if required remediation of known conditions becomes more extensive than expected. If Yulin KTA fails to comply with any present or future environmental laws, it could be subject to fines, corrective actions, other liabilities, or the suspension of production, which could materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

Environmental regulations specific to raw materials used by Yulin KTA could adversely affect Yulin KTA’s ability to conduct its business.

The Chinese government could enact laws or regulations concerning environmental matters that increase the cost of producing, or otherwise adversely affect the demand for, raw materials used by Yulin KTA, such as polyurethane. Legislation that would prohibit, tax or restrict the sale or use of certain raw materials used by Yulin KTA, and would require diversion of solid wastes, such as packaging materials from disposal in landfills, has been or may be introduced by the Chinese government. There can be no assurance that future legislation or regulation would not have a material adverse effect on Yulin KTA’s business.

Yulin KTA is subject to a variety of fire protection laws that could be costly for it to comply with, and it could incur liability if it fails to comply with such laws, which could adversely affect our Company.

Companies operating in the PRC are required to comply with a variety of fire protection laws, such as having an examination of fire protection design, inspection and acceptance of fire protection, record-filing and random inspection of construction projects. According to relevant laws and regulations with respect to construction projects, construction projects are subject to inspection and acceptance for fire protection. Yulin KTA’s failure to comply with any such laws and regulations in connection with any construction projects could materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

Yulin KTA’s business operations are subject to risks relating to potential accidents arising from its operations, and failure to comply with safety measures and procedures and other unforeseen risks could adversely impact Yulin KTA’s business.

Yulin KTA requires employees to comply with relevant safety measures and procedures relating to operations and production, as stipulated in its internal policies. There is no assurance that such safety measures are strictly followed by employees. We cannot assure you that accidents, whether due to improper use or malfunctions of equipment or machinery or other reasons, will not occur in the future. We cannot guarantee that material workplace accidents or fatal accidents will not occur in the future. In that case, Yulin KTA may be subject to government investigations and administrative penalties. Even if such accidents were not caused by Yulin KTA’s fault or negligence, such accidents may still cause it to incur substantial costs and damage to its reputation, such as negative publicity, which could adversely

affect its business and in turn, our financial condition and operating results. If work-related accidents resulting in employee injuries or deaths occur, Yulin KTA may be liable for medical and other payments to the employees and their families, in addition to fines or penalties, which could adversely impact Yulin KTA’s business and results of operations.

Yulin KTA’s insurance coverage may not be sufficient to cover all losses and/or liabilities that may be incurred by its operations.

Yulin KTA maintains certain insurance policies to safeguard against risks and unexpected events. For example, Yulin KTA maintains employer’s liability insurance for protection against costs related to lawsuits resulting from employees’ work-related injuries or illnesses and product quality insurance for protection against risks arising from product quality assurance. However, there is no assurance that Yulin KTA’s insurance coverage will always be available or will always be sufficient to cover any damages resulting from any kind of claims. In addition, there are certain types of risks that may not be covered by Yulin KTA’s policies, such as war, force majeure or certain business interruptions. In addition, there is no assurance that when the current insurance policies expire, Yulin KTA will be able to renew them at sufficient and favorable terms. Claims that are not covered by the policies or the failure to renew the insurance policies may materially adversely affect Yulin KTA’s business.

If Yulin KTA needs to seek additional financing but is not able to do so on commercially acceptable terms, its liquidity and financial condition will be adversely affected.

As of the date of this prospectus, Yulin KTA has entered into ten loan agreements for an aggregate loan amount of $4,222,751 and the outstanding principal balance of $2,651,042 has not been settled. The viability of Yulin KTA’s business is dependent on the availability of adequate capital. Yulin KTA will need to continue to invest in its operations for the foreseeable future to carry out its business plan. If Yulin KTA does not attract customers and does not achieve the expected operating results, Yulin KTA will need to seek additional financing or revise its business plan. Yulin KTA’s ability to borrow additional funds may be impacted by financial lending institutions’ ability or willingness to lend on commercially acceptable terms. If Yulin KTA has low levels of operating cash flow together with limited access to capital or credit in the future, it could have an impact on Yulin KTA’s ability to meet its capital requirements, engage in strategic initiatives, react to changing economic and business conditions, or repay its outstanding debt. Such outcomes could have an adverse effect on Yulin KTA’s business, financial condition and operating results.

Yulin KTA may have difficulty executing its growth strategies.

Yulin KTA’s growth requires additional investment in personnel, facilities, and financial and management systems and controls and may place a significant strain on Yulin KTA’s management and resources. Such growth strategies also may subject Yulin KTA to increased legal, compliance and regulatory obligations. There is no assurance that the growth efforts will be successful. Yulin KTA may not be able to implement important strategic initiatives in accordance with its expectations, including that the strategic initiatives could result in additional unanticipated costs, which may result in an adverse impact on Yulin KTA’s business and financial results.

Uncertain economic or social conditions may adversely impact Yulin KTA’s business.

Yulin KTA’s business could be negatively impacted by reduced demand for its products related to one or more significant local, regional or global economic or social disruptions. These disruptions may include: a slow-down, recession or inflationary pressures in the general economy; reduced market growth rates; tighter credit markets for Yulin KTA’s suppliers, vendors or customers; a significant shift in government policies; significant social unrest; or the deterioration of economic relations between countries or regions. These and other economic conditions may cause Yulin KTA’s suppliers, distributors, contractors or other third-party partners to suffer financial or operational difficulties that they cannot overcome, resulting in their inability to provide Yulin KTA with the needed materials and services, in which case Yulin KTA’s business and results of operations could be adversely affected. In addition, certain geopolitical events, such as the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, increased volatility in global commodity markets, which in turn could have an adverse impact on Yulin KTA’s supply chain management and business.

Yulin KTA must successfully manage the demand, supply and operational challenges associated with the effects of a disease outbreak, including epidemics, pandemics or similar widespread public health concerns.

Yulin KTA’s business may be negatively impacted by the fear of, exposure to, or actual effects of, a disease outbreak, epidemic, pandemic or similar widespread public health concern, including travel restrictions or recommendations or mandates from governmental authorities as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the threat of the virus, or the emergence of any variants. These impacts include, but are not limited to:

        Significant reductions in demand or significant volatility in demand for one or more of Yulin KTA’s products, which may be caused by, among other things: the temporary inability of customers to purchase products due to illness, quarantine or other travel restrictions or financial hardship, shifts in demand away from Yulin KTA’s products, or stockpiling or similar pantry-loading activity. If prolonged, such impacts can further increase the difficulty of business or operations planning and may adversely impact Yulin KTA’s results of operations and cash flows;

        Inability to meet customers’ needs and achieve cost targets due to disruptions in manufacturing and supply arrangements caused by constrained workforce capacity or the loss or disruption of other essential manufacturing and supply elements, such as raw materials or other finished product components, transportation, or other manufacturing and distribution capability;

        Failure of third parties on which Yulin KTA relies, which may include suppliers, manufacturers, and external business partners, to meet their obligations to Yulin KTA, or significant disruptions in their ability to do so, which may be caused by their own financial or operational difficulties and may adversely impact Yulin KTA’s operations;

        Periods of disruption that limit the ability to access the financial markets or which increase the cost of liquidity; or

        Significant changes in the political conditions in regions in which Yulin KTA manufactures, sells or distributes products, including quarantines, price controls, or governmental or regulatory actions, closures or other restrictions that limit or close operating and manufacturing facilities, restrict Yulin KTA’s employees’ ability to travel or perform necessary business functions, or otherwise prevent third-party partners, suppliers or customers from sufficiently staffing operations, which could adversely impact Yulin KTA’s results of operations and cash flows.

From 2020 to 2022, the COVID-19 pandemic had some negative impacts on Yulin KTA’s business operations in China. During such period, many of Yulin KTA’s suppliers, customers, and business partners went out of business and domestic consumption slowed. Since Yulin KTA started mass production when the COVID-19 virus began to spread in the beginning of 2020, we do not have quantifiable data to show our financial performance prior to the COVID-19 pandemic or demonstrate the extent of the impact of the COVID-19 on Yulin KTA’s business. However, Yulin KTA did experience delays in collecting account receivables, a lack of market demand and difficulties in market expansion as a result of restricted public activities during the COVID-19 pandemic. As of the date of this prospectus, the Chinese government has eased the COVID-19 restrictions. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — The Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic.” Despite Yulin KTA’s efforts to manage and remedy the impact of COVID-19, the ultimate impact also depends on factors beyond its control, including the duration and severity of any such pandemic, as well as third-party actions taken to contain its spread and mitigate its public health effects. These factors could adversely affect Yulin KTA’s business, and, in turn, our financial condition and results of operations.

Our historical financial and operating results are not indicative of future performance and our financial and operating results may fluctuate.

In the fiscal years ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, our revenue was $807,823 and $772,199, respectively, representing a growth rate of 5%. For the same fiscal years, our net loss was $1,534,322 and $1,868,657, respectively. The results of operations may vary from period to period in response to a variety of factors beyond control, including general economic conditions, regulatory actions, changes in customer spending and preferences, as well as non-recurring charges incurred in connection with extraordinary transactions. Due to these and other factors, our historical financial performance, growth rates, profitability and operating results may not indicate future performance and you should not rely on them to predict our future performance.

Table of Contents

We had a working capital deficit for the year ended March 31, 2023, which raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern depends on being able to generate positive operating cash flows and raise additional capital significant enough to result in operating profitability.

For the year ended March 31, 2023, we had a working capital deficit of $584,884 and had an accumulated deficit of $38,973,928. Given the preceding conditions, our auditor, TPS Thayer LLC, has raised substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern depends upon our ability to generate positive operating cash flows. To support our working capital needs, we will rely on our current cash, available banking facilities, and anticipated cash receipts from sales of products. There is no assurance that we will be successful in generating positive operating cash flows and raising additional capital significant enough to result in operating profitability in the future.

If we are unable to generate and raise sufficient positive operating cash flows and additional capital to result in operating profitability in the future, there may remain substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, and investors or other financing sources may be unwilling to provide funding to us on commercially reasonable terms or at all, and we may have to discontinue operations and liquidate our assets and may be compelled to receive less than the value at which those assets are carried on our audited financial statements, which would cause the shareholders to lose a part or all of their investment.

The entry into strategic alliances, or mergers and acquisitions may expose Yulin KTA to additional risks.

As of the date of this prospectus, Yulin KTA has not identified any suitable opportunities for strategic alliances. In the future, Yulin KTA may consider potential strategic alliances that would complement the current product offerings, increase the size and geographic scope of its operations or otherwise present growth and/or other opportunities. Any such developments may entail numerous risks, including:

        competition with established competitors in new markets, who may have greater knowledge of those markets and resources to expend in those markets than Yulin KTA;

        difficulties in assimilating acquired operations or products;

        difficulties in understanding and adapting to local cultural norms, including, but not limited to, consumption patterns, seasonal effects, customer trends and preferences, as well seasonal effects;

        diversion of management’s attention from the core business;

        substantial costs, delays or other operational or financial difficulties, including difficulties in leveraging the expected synergies among the businesses to increase sales and obtain cost savings or achieve expected results;

        adverse effects on existing business relationships with suppliers and customers;

        certain other risks involved in entering markets in which Yulin KTA has limited or no prior experience; and

        reputational and other risks regarding Yulin KTA’s ability to enter new markets successfully or to implement such strategic alliances, including obtaining financing which could dilute the interests of its shareholders, result in an increase in its indebtedness, or both.

Yulin KTA’s failure to enter new markets, enter into strategic alliances or complete the integration of any new or acquired businesses successfully could have a material adverse effect on its business, prospects, financial condition, liquidity, results of operations and cash flows. In addition, there can be no assurance that Yulin KTA will be able to identify suitable candidates or consummate such transactions on favorable terms or at all.

Risks Relating to this Offering and the Trading Market

There has been no public market for our Class A Ordinary Shares prior to this offering, and you may not be able to resell our Class A Ordinary Shares at or above the price you pay for them, or at all.

Prior to this offering, there has not been a public market for our Class A Ordinary Shares. We plan to apply for the listing of our Class A Ordinary Shares on Nasdaq. An active public market for our Class A Ordinary Shares, however, may not develop or be sustained after the offering, in which case the market price and liquidity of our Class A Ordinary Shares will be materially and adversely affected.

The initial public offering price for our Class A Ordinary Shares may not be indicative of prices that will prevail in the trading market and such market prices may be volatile.

The initial public offering price for our Class A Ordinary Shares will be determined by negotiations between us and the underwriters and may not bear a direct relationship to our earnings, book value, or any other indicia of value. We cannot assure you that the market price of our Class A Ordinary Shares will not decline significantly below the initial public offering price. The financial markets in the United States and other countries have experienced significant price and volume fluctuations in the last few years. Volatility in the price of our Class A Ordinary Shares may be caused by factors outside of our control and may be unrelated or disproportionate to changes in our results of operations.

You will experience immediate and substantial dilution in the net tangible book value of Class A Ordinary Shares purchased.

The initial public offering price of our Class A Ordinary Shares is substantially higher than the (pro forma) net tangible book value per share of our Class A Ordinary Shares. Consequently, when you purchase our Class A Ordinary Shares in the offering, upon completion of the offering you will incur immediate dilution of $[•] per share, assuming an initial public offering price of $[•]. See “Dilution.” You may experience further dilution to the extent that additional Class A Ordinary Shares are issued upon exercise of outstanding options we may grant from time to time. In addition, you may experience further dilution to the extent that additional Class A Ordinary Shares are issued upon conversion of Class B Ordinary Shares or exercise of options we may grant from time to time.

If we fail to implement and maintain an effective system of internal controls or fail to remediate the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting that have been identified, we may fail to meet our reporting obligations or be unable to accurately report our results of operations or prevent fraud, and investor confidence and the market price of our Class A Ordinary Shares may be materially and adversely affected.

Prior to this offering, we have been a private company with limited accounting personnel and other resources with which to address our internal controls and procedures. Our failure to discover and address any material weaknesses or control deficiencies could result in inaccuracies in our financial statements and could also impair our ability to comply with applicable financial reporting requirements and related regulatory filings on a timely basis. As a result, our financial condition, results of operations and prospects, as well as the trading price of our Class A Ordinary Shares, may be materially and adversely affected. Moreover, ineffective internal control over financial reporting significantly hinders our ability to prevent fraud.

Upon completion of this offering, we will become a public company in the United States subject to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 will require that we include a report of management on our internal control over financial reporting in our annual report on Form 20-F beginning with our annual report for the year ending March 31, [•]. In addition, once we cease to be an “emerging growth company,” as such term is defined in the JOBS Act, our independent registered public accounting firm must attest to and report on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. Our management may conclude that our internal control over financial reporting is not effective. Moreover, even if our management concludes that our internal control over financial reporting is effective, our independent registered public accounting firm, after conducting its own independent testing, may issue a report that is qualified, if it is not satisfied with our internal controls or the level at which our controls are documented, designed, operated, or reviewed, or if it interprets the relevant requirements differently from us. In addition, after we become a public company, our reporting obligations may place a significant strain on our management, operational, and financial resources and systems for the foreseeable future. We may be unable to complete our evaluation testing and any required remediation in a timely manner.

We will incur substantial increased costs as a result of being a public company.

Upon consummation of this offering, we will incur significant legal, accounting, and other expenses as a public company that we did not incur as a private company. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as well as rules subsequently implemented by the SEC and Nasdaq, impose various requirements on the corporate governance practices of public companies.

Compliance with these rules and regulations increases our legal and financial compliance costs and makes some corporate activities more time-consuming and costlier. We incur additional costs associated with our public company reporting requirements. It may also be more difficult for us to find qualified persons to serve on our board of directors or as executive officers.

We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the JOBS Act and will remain an emerging growth company until the earlier of (1) the last day of the fiscal year (a) following the fifth anniversary of the completion of this offering, (b) in which we have total annual gross revenue of at least $1.235 billion, or (c) in which we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer, which means the market value of our Class A Ordinary Shares that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the prior September 30, and (2) the date on which we have issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt during the prior three-year period. An emerging growth company may take advantage of specified reduced reporting and other requirements that are otherwise applicable generally to public companies. These provisions include exemption from the auditor attestation requirement under Section 404 in the assessment of the emerging growth company’s internal control over financial reporting and permission to delay adopting new or revised accounting standards until such time as those standards apply to private companies.

After we are no longer an “emerging growth company,” or until five years following the completion of our initial public offering, whichever is earlier, we expect to incur significant additional expenses and devote substantial management effort toward ensuring compliance with the requirements of Section 404 and the other rules and regulations of the SEC. For example, as a public company, we will be required to increase the number of independent directors and adopt policies regarding internal controls and disclosure controls and procedures.

We are currently evaluating and monitoring developments with respect to these rules and regulations, and we cannot predict or estimate with any degree of certainty the amount of additional costs we may incur or the timing of such costs.

Substantial future sales of our Class A Ordinary Shares or the anticipation of future sales of our Class A Ordinary Shares in the public market could cause the price of our Class A Ordinary Shares to decline.

Sales of substantial amounts of our Class A Ordinary Shares in the public market after this offering, or the perception that these sales could occur, could cause the market price of our Class A Ordinary Shares to decline. An aggregate of 16,609,201 Class A Ordinary Shares are outstanding before the consummation of this offering. An aggregate of [•] Class A Ordinary Shares will be outstanding immediately after the consummation of this offering. Sales of these shares into the market could cause the market price of our Class A Ordinary Shares to decline.

We do not intend to pay dividends for the foreseeable future.

We currently intend to retain any future earnings to finance the operation and expansion of Yulin KTA’s business, and we do not expect to declare or pay any dividends in the foreseeable future. As a result, you may only receive a return on your investment in our Class A Ordinary Shares if the market price of our Class A Ordinary Shares increases.

If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or reports about us, or if they publish a negative report regarding our Class A Ordinary Shares, the price of our Class A Ordinary Shares and trading volume could decline.

Any trading market for our Class A Ordinary Shares may depend in part on the research and reports that industry or securities analysts publish about us. We do not have any control over these analysts. If one or more of the analysts who cover us downgrade us, the price of our Class A Ordinary Shares would likely decline. If one or more of these analysts cease coverage of our Company or fail to regularly publish reports on us, we could lose visibility in the financial markets, which could cause the price of our Class A Ordinary Shares and the trading volume to decline.

Additional disclosure requirements to be adopted by and regulatory scrutiny from the SEC in response to risks related to companies with substantial operations in China could increase our compliance costs, subject us to additional disclosure requirements, and/or suspend or terminate our future securities offerings.

On July 30, 2021, in response to the recent regulatory developments in China and actions adopted by the PRC government, the Chairman of the SEC issued a statement asking the SEC staff to seek additional disclosures from offshore issuers associated with China-based operating companies before their registration statements will be declared effective. As such, this offering may be subject to additional disclosure requirements and review that the SEC or other regulatory authorities in the United States may adopt for companies with China-based operations, which could increase our compliance costs, delay the consummation of this offering, subject us to additional disclosure requirements, and/or suspend or terminate our future securities offerings.

The market price of our Class A Ordinary Shares may be volatile or may decline regardless of our operating performance, and you may not be able to resell your shares at or above the initial public offering price.

The initial public offering price for our Class A Ordinary Shares will be determined through negotiations between the underwriters and us and may vary from the market price of our Class A Ordinary Shares following our initial public offering. If you purchase our Class A Ordinary Shares in our initial public offering, you may not be able to resell those shares at or above the initial public offering price. We cannot assure you that the initial public offering price of our Class A Ordinary Shares, or the market price following our initial public offering, will equal or exceed prices in privately negotiated transactions of our shares that have occurred from time to time prior to our initial public offering. The market price of our Class A Ordinary Shares may fluctuate significantly in response to numerous factors, many of which are beyond our control, including:

        actual or anticipated fluctuations in our revenue and other operating results;

        the financial projections we may provide to the public, any changes in these projections or our failure to meet these projections;

        actions of securities analysts who initiate or maintain coverage of us, changes in financial estimates by any securities analysts who follow our Company, or our failure to meet these estimates or the expectations of investors;

        announcements by us or our competitors of significant products or features, technical innovations, acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures, or capital commitments;

        price and volume fluctuations in the overall stock market, including as a result of trends in the economy as a whole;

        lawsuits threatened or filed against us; and

        other events or factors, including those resulting from war or incidents of terrorism, or responses to these events.

In addition, the stock markets have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have affected and continue to affect the market prices of equity securities of many companies. Stock prices of many companies have fluctuated in a manner unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of those companies. In the past, stockholders have filed securities class litigation following periods of market volatility. If we were to become involved in securities litigation, it could subject us to substantial costs, divert resources and the attention of management, and adversely affect us.

The price of our Class A Ordinary Shares could be subject to rapid and substantial volatility.

There have been instances of extreme stock price run-ups followed by rapid price declines and strong stock price volatility with recent initial public offerings, especially among those with relatively smaller public floats. As a relatively small-capitalization company with a relatively small public float, we may experience greater stock price volatility, extreme price run-ups, lower trading volume, and less liquidity than large-capitalization companies. In particular, our Class A Ordinary Shares may be subject to rapid and substantial price volatility, low volumes of trades, and large spreads in bid and ask prices. Such volatility, including any stock run-ups, may be unrelated to our actual or expected operating performance and financial condition or prospects, making it difficult for prospective investors to assess the rapidly changing value of our Class A Ordinary Shares.

34

Table of Contents

In addition, if the trading volumes of our Class A Ordinary Shares are low, persons buying or selling in relatively small quantities may easily influence the price of our Class A Ordinary Shares. This low volume of trades could also cause the price of our Class A Ordinary Shares to fluctuate greatly, with large percentage changes in price occurring in any trading day session. Holders of our Class A Ordinary Shares may also not be able to readily liquidate their investment or may be forced to sell at depressed prices due to low volume trading. Broad market fluctuations and general economic and political conditions may also adversely affect the market price of our Class A Ordinary Shares. As a result of this volatility, investors may experience losses on their investment in our Class A Ordinary Shares. A decline in the market price of our Class A Ordinary Shares also could adversely affect our ability to issue additional shares of Class A Ordinary Shares or other of our securities and our ability to obtain additional financing in the future. No assurance can be given that an active market in our Class A Ordinary Shares will develop or be sustained. If an active market does not develop, holders of our Class A Ordinary Shares may be unable to readily sell the shares they hold or may not be able to sell their shares at all.

The dual class structure of our ordinary shares has the effect of concentrating voting control with our Chairman, and his interest may not be aligned with the interests of our other shareholders.

We have a dual-class voting structure consisting of Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares. Under this structure, holders of Class A Ordinary Shares are entitled to one vote per one Class A Ordinary Share, and holders of Class B Ordinary Shares are entitled to 30 votes per one Class B Ordinary Share, which may cause the holders of Class B Ordinary Shares to have an unbalanced, higher concentration of voting power. Immediately prior to completion of this offering, Mr. Bing Wang, our CEO and Chairman of the Board of Directors, beneficially owns 1,955,513, or 11.77% of our issued Class A Ordinary Shares, and 3,390,799, or 100%, of our issued Class B Ordinary Shares, representing approximately 87.62% of the voting rights in our Company. After this offering, Mr. Bing Wang will hold [•] Class A Ordinary Shares and 3,390,799 Class B Ordinary Shares, representing approximately [•]% of the voting rights in our Company, assuming no exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option, or approximately [•]% assuming full exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option, in each case excluding the number of Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Representative’s Warrants. As a result, until such time as Mr. Bing Wang’s voting power is below 50%, Mr. Bing Wang as the controlling shareholder has substantial influence over our operations, including decisions regarding mergers, consolidations and the sale of all or substantially all of our assets, election of directors, and other significant corporate actions. He may take actions that are not in the best interests of us or our other shareholders. These corporate actions may be taken even if they are opposed by our other shareholders. Further, such concentration of voting power may discourage, prevent, or delay the consummation of change of control transactions that shareholders may consider favorable, including transactions in which shareholders might otherwise receive a premium for their shares. Future issuances of Class B Ordinary Shares may also be dilutive to the holders of Class A Ordinary Shares. As a result, the market price of our Class A Ordinary Shares could be adversely affected.

The dual-class structure of our ordinary shares may adversely affect the trading market for our Class A Ordinary Shares.

Several shareholder advisory firms have announced their opposition to the use of multiple class structures. As a result, the dual class structure of our ordinary shares may cause shareholder advisory firms to publish negative commentary about our corporate governance practices or otherwise seek to cause us to change our capital structure. Any actions or publications by shareholder advisory firms critical of our corporate governance practices or capital structure could adversely affect the value of our Class A Ordinary Shares.

Since we are a “controlled company” within the meaning of the Nasdaq listing rules, we may follow certain exemptions from certain corporate governance requirements that could adversely affect our public shareholders.

Following this offering, our largest shareholder will continue to own more than a majority of the voting power of our outstanding ordinary shares. Under the Nasdaq listing rules, a company of which more than 50% of the voting power is held by an individual, group, or another company is a “controlled company” and is permitted to phase in its compliance with the independent committee requirements. Although we do not intend to rely on the “controlled company” exemptions under the Nasdaq listing rules even if we are deemed to be a “controlled company,” we could elect to rely on these exemptions in the future. If we were to elect to rely on the “controlled company” exemptions, a majority of the members of our board of directors might not be independent directors and our nominating and corporate governance and compensation committees might not consist entirely of independent directors. Accordingly,

35

Table of Contents

if we rely on the exemptions, during the period we remain a controlled company and during any transition period following a time when we are no longer a controlled company, you would not have the same protections afforded to shareholders of companies that are subject to all of the corporate governance requirements of Nasdaq.

Our management has broad discretion to determine how to use the funds raised in the offering and may use them in ways that may not enhance our results of operations or the price of our Class A Ordinary Shares.

To the extent (i) our Company raises more money than required for the purposes explained in the section titled “Use of Proceeds” or (ii) our Company determines that the proposed uses set forth in that section are no longer in the best interests of our Company, our Company cannot specify with any certainty the particular uses of such net proceeds that our Company will receive from our initial public offering. Our management will have broad discretion in the application of such net proceeds, and our Company may spend or invest these proceeds in a way with which the shareholders disagree. The failure by our management to apply these funds effectively could harm the business and financial condition. Pending their use, our Company may invest the net proceeds from the initial public offering in a manner that does not produce income or that loses value.

If we cease to qualify as a foreign private issuer, we would be required to comply fully with the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act applicable to U.S. domestic issuers, and we would incur significant additional legal, accounting and other expenses that we would not incur as a foreign private issuer.

We expect to qualify as a foreign private issuer upon the completion of this offering. As a foreign private issuer, we will be exempt from the rules under the Exchange Act prescribing the furnishing and content of proxy statements, and our officers, directors and principal shareholders will be exempt from the reporting and short-swing profit recovery provisions contained in Section 16 of the Exchange Act. In addition, we will not be required under the Exchange Act to file periodic reports and financial statements with the SEC as frequently or as promptly as United States domestic issuers, and we will not be required to disclose in our periodic reports all of the information that United States domestic issuers are required to disclose. While we currently expect to qualify as a foreign private issuer immediately following the completion of this offering, we may cease to qualify as a foreign private issuer in the future, in which case we would incur significant additional expenses that could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

Because we are a foreign private issuer and may take advantage of exemptions from certain Nasdaq corporate governance standards applicable to U.S. issuers, you may have less protection than you would have if we were a domestic issuer.

Nasdaq listing rules require listed companies to have, among other things, a majority of its board members be independent. As a foreign private issuer, however, we are permitted to, and we may follow home country practice in lieu of the above requirements, or we may choose to comply with the above requirement within one year of listing. The corporate governance practice in our home country, the Cayman Islands, does not require a majority of our board to consist of independent directors. Thus, although a director must act in the best interests of our Company, it is possible that fewer board members will be exercising independent judgment and the level of board oversight on the management of our Company may decrease as a result. In addition, Nasdaq listing rules also require U.S. domestic issuers to have a compensation committee, a nominating/corporate governance committee composed entirely of independent directors, and an audit committee with a minimum of three members. We, as a foreign private issuer, are not subject to these requirements. Nasdaq listing rules may require shareholder approval for certain corporate matters, such as requiring that shareholders be given the opportunity to vote on all equity compensation plans and material revisions to those plans, certain ordinary share issuances. We intend to comply with the requirements of Nasdaq listing rules in determining whether shareholder approval is required on such matters and to appoint a nominating and corporate governance committee. We may, however, consider following home country practice in lieu of the requirements under Nasdaq listing rules with respect to certain corporate governance standards which may afford less protection to investors.

If we cannot continue to satisfy the listing requirements and other rules of Nasdaq, our securities may be delisted, which could negatively impact the price of our securities and your ability to sell them.

We plan to apply to have our Class A Ordinary Shares listed on Nasdaq upon consummation of this offering. It is a condition to the closing of this offering that our Class A Ordinary Shares qualify for listing on a national securities exchange. Following this offering, in order to maintain our listing on Nasdaq, we will be required to comply with certain

36

Table of Contents

rules of Nasdaq, including those regarding minimum stockholders’ equity, minimum share price, minimum market value of publicly held shares, and various additional requirements. Even if we initially meet the listing requirements and other applicable rules of Nasdaq, we may not be able to continue to satisfy these requirements and applicable rules. If we are unable to satisfy Nasdaq criteria for maintaining our listing, our securities could be subject to delisting.

If Nasdaq subsequently delists our securities from trading, we could face significant consequences, including:

        a limited availability for market quotations for our securities;

        reduced liquidity with respect to our securities;

        a determination that our Class A Ordinary Shares are a “penny stock,” which will require brokers trading in our Class A Ordinary Shares to adhere to more stringent rules and possibly result in a reduced level of trading activity in the secondary trading market for our Class A Ordinary Shares;

        limited amount of news and analyst coverage; and

        a decreased ability to issue additional securities or obtain additional financing in the future.

Anti-takeover provisions in our memorandum and articles of association may discourage, delay, or prevent a change in control.

Some provisions of our memorandum and articles of association, which will become effective on or before the completion of this offering, may discourage, delay, or prevent a change in control of our Company or management that shareholders may consider favorable, including, among other things, the following:

        provisions that authorize our board of directors to offer, allot, grant options over or otherwise dispose of unissued authorized shares to such persons at such times and for such consideration, and upon such terms and conditions as the board of directors may determine without any further vote or action by our shareholders; and

        provisions that limit the ability of our shareholders to call meetings and to propose special matters for consideration at shareholder meetings.

Because we are an “emerging growth company,” we may not be subject to requirements that other public companies are subject to, which could affect investor confidence in us and our Class A Ordinary Shares.

For as long as we remain an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the JOBS Act, we will elect to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not “emerging growth companies,” including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. Because of these lessened regulatory requirements, our shareholders would be left without information or rights available to shareholders of more mature companies. Further, we elected to use the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until the earlier of the date that we (1) are no longer an emerging growth company or (2) affirmatively and irrevocably opt out of the extended transition period provided in the JOBS Act. As a result, these financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with the new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates. If some investors find our Class A Ordinary Shares less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our Class A Ordinary Shares and our share price may be more volatile. See “Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company.”

The laws of the Cayman Islands may not provide our shareholders with benefits comparable to those provided to shareholders of corporations incorporated in the United States.

We are an exempted company incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands with limited liability. Our corporate affairs are governed by our memorandum and articles of association, the Companies Act (As Revised) of the Cayman Islands (the “Cayman Companies Act”), and the common law of the Cayman Islands. The rights of shareholders to take action against our directors, actions by our minority shareholders and the fiduciary duties of our directors

Table of Contents

to us under Cayman Islands law are to a large extent governed by the common law of the Cayman Islands. The common law of the Cayman Islands is derived in part from comparatively limited judicial precedent in the Cayman Islands and from the common law of England. The decisions of those courts are of persuasive authority, but are not binding on courts in the Cayman Islands. The rights of our shareholders and the fiduciary duties of our directors under Cayman Islands law are not as clearly established as they would be under statutes or judicial precedents in some jurisdictions in the United States. In particular, the Cayman Islands has a less developed body of securities laws than the United States. Therefore, our public shareholders may have more difficulty protecting their interests in the face of actions by our management, directors or controlling shareholders and their abilities to protect their rights thought the courts of the United States maybe limited than would shareholders of a corporation incorporated in a jurisdiction in the United States.

Shareholders of Cayman Islands exempted companies like us have no general rights under Cayman Islands law to inspect corporate records (other than the memorandum and articles of association and any special resolutions passed by such companies, and the register of mortgages and charges of such companies) or to obtain copies of the lists of shareholders of these companies. Our directors have discretion under our memorandum and articles of association to determine whether or not, and under what conditions, our corporate records may be inspected by our shareholders, but are not obliged to make them available to our shareholders. This may make it more difficult for you to obtain the information needed to establish any facts necessary for a shareholder motion or to solicit proxies from other shareholders in connection with a proxy contest.

As a result of all of the above, our public shareholders may have more difficulty in protecting their interests in the face of actions taken by our management, members of our board of directors or controlling shareholders than they would as public shareholders of a company incorporated in the United States. For a discussion of significant differences between the provisions of the Cayman Companies Act and the laws applicable to companies incorporated in the United States and their shareholders, see “Description of Share Capital — Differences in Corporate Law.”

You may be unable to present proposals before annual general meetings or extraordinary general meetings not called by shareholders.

Cayman Islands law provides shareholders with only limited rights to requisition a general meeting, and does not provide shareholders with any right to put any proposal before a general meeting. These rights, however, may be provided in a company’s articles of association. Our articles of association allow any of our shareholders who together hold at least 10% of the rights to vote at such general meeting to requisition a general meeting of our shareholders, in which case our directors are obliged to call such meeting. At least 21 clear days’ notice of an annual general meeting must be given to shareholders, and for any other general meeting, at least 14 clear days’ notice must be given to our shareholders. Subject to the Cayman Companies Act, a meeting may be convened on shorter notice with the consent of the shareholders who, individually or collectively, hold at least 90% of the voting rights of all those who have a right to vote at that meeting. A quorum required for a meeting of shareholders consists of at least one shareholder present in person or by proxy, representing not less than one-third of the outstanding shares carrying the right to vote at such general meeting.

If we are classified as a PFIC, United States taxpayers who own our Class A Ordinary Shares may have adverse United States federal income tax consequences.

A non-U.S. corporation such as ourselves will be classified as a PFIC, which is known as a PFIC, for any taxable year if, for such year, either

        At least 75% of our gross income for the year is passive income; or

        The average percentage of our assets (determined at the end of each quarter) during the taxable year which produce passive income or which are held for the production of passive income is at least 50%.

Passive income generally includes dividends, interest, rents and royalties (other than rents or royalties derived from the active conduct of a trade or business), and gains from the disposition of passive assets.

If we are determined to be a PFIC for any taxable year (or portion thereof) that is included in the holding period of a U.S. taxpayer who holds our Class A Ordinary Shares, the U.S. taxpayer may be subject to increased U.S. federal income tax liability and may be subject to additional reporting requirements.

38

Table of Contents

Depending on the amount of cash we raise in this offering, together with any other assets held for the production of passive income, it is possible that, for our [•] taxable year or for any subsequent year, more than 50% of our assets may be assets which produce passive income, in which case we would be deemed to be a PFIC, which could have adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences for U.S. taxpayers who are shareholders. We will make this determination following the end of any particular tax year. For purposes of the PFIC analysis, in general, a non-U.S. corporation is deemed to own its pro rata share of the gross income and assets of any entity in which it is considered to own at least 25% of the equity by value.

For a more detailed discussion of the application of the PFIC rules to us and the consequences to U.S. taxpayers if we were or are determined to be a PFIC, see “Material Income Tax Consideration — United States Federal Income Taxation — Passive Foreign Investment Company (PFIC) Consequences.”

Our pre-IPO shareholders will be able to sell their shares upon completion of this offering subject to restrictions under Rule 144 under the Securities Act.

Our pre-IPO shareholders may be able to sell their Class A Ordinary Shares under Rule 144 after the completion of this offering. See “Shares Eligible for Future Sale.” Because these shareholders have paid a lower price per Ordinary Share than participants in this offering, when they are able to sell their pre-IPO shares under Rule 144, they may be more willing to accept a lower sales price than the IPO price. This fact could impact the trading price of the Class A Ordinary Shares following the completion of the offering, to the detriment of participants in this offering. Under Rule 144, before our pre-IPO shareholders can sell their shares, in addition to meeting other requirements, they must meet the required holding period. We do not expect any of the Class A Ordinary Shares to be sold pursuant to Rule 144 during the pendency of this offering.

DISCLOSURE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This prospectus contains forward-looking statements that reflect our current expectations and views of future events, all of which are subject to risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements give our current expectations or forecasts of future events. You can identify these statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. You can find many (but not all) of these statements by the use of words such as “approximates,” “believes,” “hopes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “projects,” “intends,” “plans,” “will,” “would,” “should,” “could,” “may” or other similar expressions in this prospectus. These statements are likely to address our growth strategy, financial results and product and development programs. You must carefully consider any such statements and should understand that many factors could cause actual results to differ from our forward-looking statements. These factors may include inaccurate assumptions and a broad variety of other risks and uncertainties, including some that are known and some that are not. No forward-looking statement can be guaranteed and actual future results may vary materially. Factors that could cause actual results to differ from those discussed in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to:

        assumptions about our future financial and operating results, including revenue, income, expenditures, cash balances, and other financial items;

        our ability to execute our growth, and expansion, including our ability to meet our goals;

        current and future economic and political conditions;

        our capital requirements and our ability to raise any additional financing which we may require;

        our ability to attract clients and further enhance our brand recognition;

        our ability to hire and retain qualified management personnel and key employees in order to enable us to develop our business;

        the COVID-19 pandemic;

        trends and competition in our industry; and

        other assumptions described in this prospectus underlying or relating to any forward-looking statements.

We describe certain material risks, uncertainties and assumptions that could affect our business, including our financial condition and results of operations, under “Risk Factors.” We base our forward-looking statements on our management’s beliefs and assumptions based on information available to our management at the time the statements are made. We caution you that actual outcomes and results may, and are likely to, differ materially from what is expressed, implied or forecast by our forward-looking statements. Accordingly, you should be careful about relying on any forward-looking statements. Except as required under the federal securities laws, we do not have any intention or obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements after the distribution of this prospectus, whether as a result of new information, future events, changes in assumptions, or otherwise.

Industry Data and Forecasts

This prospectus contains data related to our industry. The industry data include projections that are based on a number of assumptions which have been derived from industry and government sources which we believe to be reasonable. Our industry may not grow at the rate projected by industry data, or at all. The failure of the industry to grow as anticipated is likely to have a material adverse effect on our Operating Entity’s business and the market price of our Class A Ordinary Shares. In addition, the rapidly changing nature of the industry subjects any projections or estimates relating to the growth prospects or future condition of our industry to significant uncertainties. Furthermore, if any one or more of the assumptions underlying the industry data turns out to be incorrect, actual results may, and are likely to, differ from the projections based on these assumptions.

ENFORCEABILITY OF CIVIL LIABILITIES

We are incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands as an exempted company with limited liability. We are incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands in order to enjoy certain benefits, such as political and economic stability, an effective judicial system, a favorable tax system, the absence of foreign exchange control or currency restrictions, and the availability of professional and support services. However, certain disadvantages accompany incorporation in the Cayman Islands. These disadvantages include: (i) the Cayman Islands has a less exhaustive body of securities laws as compared to the United States and these securities laws provide significantly less protection to investors than the United States; and (ii) Cayman Islands companies may not have standing to sue before the federal courts of the United States. Our constitutional documents do not contain provisions requiring that disputes, including those arising under the securities laws of the United States, among us, our officers, directors and shareholders, be arbitrated.

Substantially all of our assets are located in the PRC. In addition, [substantially all of our directors and officers are nationals or residents of the PRC and all or a substantial portion of their assets are located outside the United States.] As a result, it may be difficult or impossible for shareholders to effect service of process within the United States upon us or these persons, or to enforce against us or them judgments obtained in United States courts, including judgments predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state in the United States. It may also be difficult for shareholders to enforce judgments obtained in United States courts based on the civil liability provisions of the United States federal securities laws against us and our executive officers and directors.

We have appointed [•] as our agent to receive service of process with respect to any action brought against us in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York under the federal securities laws of the United States or of any state in the United States or any action brought against us in the Supreme Court of the State of New York in the County of New York under the securities laws of the State of New York.

Ogier, our legal counsel with respect to the laws of the Cayman Islands, AllBright, our counsel with respect to PRC law, have advised us, respectively, that there is uncertainty as to whether the courts of the Cayman Islands or the PRC would (i) recognize or enforce judgments of United States courts based on certain civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state in the United States or (ii) entertain original actions brought in each respective jurisdiction against us or our directors or officers predicated upon the securities laws of the United States or any state in the United States.

Ogier has advised us that it is uncertain whether the courts of the Cayman Islands will allow shareholders of our Company to originate actions in the Cayman Islands based upon securities laws of the United States. In addition, there is uncertainty with regard to Cayman Islands law related to whether a judgment obtained from the U.S. courts under civil liability provisions of U.S. securities laws will be determined by the courts of the Cayman Islands as penal or punitive in nature. If such a determination is made, the courts of the Cayman Islands will not recognize or enforce the judgment against a Cayman Islands company, such as our Company. As the courts of the Cayman Islands have yet to rule on making such a determination in relation to judgments obtained from U.S. courts under civil liability provisions of U.S. securities laws, it is uncertain whether such judgments would be enforceable in the Cayman Islands.

Ogier has further advised us that there is no statutory enforcement in the Cayman Islands of judgments obtained in the United States, although the courts of the Cayman Islands will in certain circumstances recognize and enforce a foreign judgment, without any re-examination or re-litigation of matters adjudicated upon, provided such judgment: (a) is given by a foreign court of competent jurisdiction; (b) imposes on the judgment debtor a liability to pay a liquidated sum for which the judgment has been given; (c) is final; (d) is not in respect of taxes, a fine or a penalty; (e) was not obtained by fraud; and (f) is not of a kind the enforcement of which is contrary to natural justice or the public policy of the Cayman Islands. Subject to the above limitations, in appropriate circumstances, a Cayman Islands court may give effect in the Cayman Islands to other kinds of final foreign judgments such as declaratory orders, orders for performance of contracts and injunctions.

41

Table of Contents

AllBright has further advised us that the recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments are provided for under the PRC Civil Procedure Law. PRC courts may recognize and enforce foreign judgments in accordance with the requirements of the PRC Civil Procedure Law based either on treaties between China and the country where the judgment is made or on reciprocity between jurisdictions. There are no treaties or other forms of reciprocity between China and the United States for the mutual recognition and enforcement of court judgments. AllBright has further advised us that under PRC law, PRC courts will not enforce a foreign judgment against us or our officers and directors if the court decides that such judgment violates the basic principles of PRC law or national sovereignty, security or public interest, thus making the recognition and enforcement of a U.S. court judgment in China difficult.

(2)      As of the date of this prospectus, we have not identified, or engaged in any material discussions regarding, any potential target for acquisition or any opportunities for strategic alliance.

The foregoing represents our current intentions based upon our present plans and business conditions to use and allocate the net proceeds of this offering. Our management, however, will have significant flexibility and discretion to apply the net proceeds of this offering. If an unforeseen event occurs or business conditions change, we may use the proceeds of this offering differently than as described in this prospectus. See “Risk Factors — Risks Relating to this Offering and the Trading Market — Our management has broad discretion to determine how to use the funds raised in the offering and may use them in ways that may not enhance our results of operations or the price of our Class A Ordinary Shares.”

In using the proceeds of this offering, we are permitted under PRC laws and regulations to utilize the proceeds from this offering to fund the PRC subsidiaries by making loans or additional capital contributions, subject to applicable government registration and approval requirements. We cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain these government registrations or approvals on a timely basis, if at all. See “Risk Factors — Risks Relating to Doing Business in the PRC — PRC regulation of loans to, and direct investments in, PRC entities by offshore holding companies may delay or prevent us from making loans or additional capital contributions to our PRC subsidiaries and thereby prevent us from funding Yulin KTA’s business.”

DIVIDEND POLICY

As of the date of this prospectus, none of our PRC subsidiaries has made any dividends or distributions to our Company and our Company has not made any dividends or distributions to our shareholders. We intend to keep any future earnings to finance the expansion of our business, and we do not anticipate that any cash dividends will be paid in the foreseeable future. Subject to the PFIC rules, the gross amount of distributions we make to investors with respect to our Class A Ordinary Shares (including the amount of any taxes withheld therefrom) will be taxable as a dividend, to the extent that the distribution is paid out of our current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles.

Our board of directors has complete discretion in deciding whether to distribute dividends, subject to certain restrictions under Cayman Islands law, namely that our Company may only pay dividends out of profit or share premium, and provided always that in no circumstances may a dividend be paid if this would result in our Company being unable to pay its debts as they fall due in the ordinary course of business. In addition, subject to the Cayman Companies Act, our shareholders may by ordinary resolution declare dividends in accordance with the respective rights of the shareholders, but no dividend shall exceed the amount recommended by our board of directors. Even if our board of directors decides to pay dividends, the timing, amount, and form of future dividends, if any, will depend on, among other things, our future results of operations and cash flow, our capital requirements and surplus, the amount of distributions, if any, received by us from our subsidiaries, our financial condition, contractual restrictions, and other factors deemed relevant by our board of directors. Please see the section entitled “Material Income Tax Consideration” of this prospectus for information on the potential tax consequences of any cash dividends declared.

If we determine to pay dividends on any of our Class A Ordinary Shares in the future, as a holding company, we will be dependent on receipt of funds our Hong Kong subsidiary, KTA HK. KTA HK will rely on payments made from KTA WFOE, which will in turn rely on payments made from Yulin KTA.

Current PRC regulations permit KTA WFOE, to pay dividends to KTA HK only out of their accumulated profits, if any, determined in accordance with Chinese accounting standards and regulations. In addition, KTA WFOE is required to set aside at least 10% of its after-tax profits each year, if any, to fund a statutory reserve until such reserve reaches 50% of its registered capital.

The PRC government also imposes controls on the conversion of RMB into foreign currencies and the remittance of currencies out of the PRC. For instance, SAFE Circular 3 issued on January 26, 2017, provides that banks shall, when dealing with dividend remittance transactions from a domestic enterprise to its offshore shareholders of more than $50,000, review the relevant board resolutions, original tax filing form, and audited financial statements of such domestic enterprise based on the principle of genuine transaction. Furthermore, if our PRC subsidiaries incur debt on their own in the future, the instruments governing the debt may restrict their ability to pay dividends or make other payments. If we or the PRC subsidiaries are unable to receive all of the revenue from our operations, we may be unable to pay dividends on our Class A Ordinary Shares.

Cash dividends, if any, on our Class A Ordinary Shares will be paid in U.S. dollars. KTA HK may be considered a non-resident enterprise for tax purposes, so that any dividends KTA WFOE pays to KTA HK may be regarded as China-sourced income and as a result may be subject to PRC withholding tax at a rate of up to 10%. See “Material Income Tax Consideration — People’s Republic of China Enterprise Taxation.”

Pursuant to the Double Tax Avoidance Arrangement, the 10% withholding tax rate may be lowered to 5% if a Hong Kong resident enterprise owns no less than 25% of a PRC project. The 5% withholding tax rate, however, does not automatically apply and certain requirements must be satisfied, including without limitation that (a) the Hong Kong project must be the beneficial owner of the relevant dividends; and (b) the Hong Kong project must directly hold no less than 25% share ownership in the PRC project during the 12 consecutive months preceding its receipt of the dividends. In current practice, a Hong Kong project must obtain a tax resident certificate from the Hong Kong tax authority to apply for the 5% lower PRC withholding tax rate. As the Hong Kong tax authority will issue such a tax resident certificate on a case-by-case basis, we cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain the

44

Table of Contents

tax resident certificate from the relevant Hong Kong tax authority and enjoy the preferential withholding tax rate of 5% under the Double Taxation Arrangement with respect to any dividends paid by KTA WFOE to its immediate holding company, KTA HK. As of the date of this prospectus, we have not applied for the tax resident certificate from the relevant Hong Kong tax authority. KTA HK intends to apply for the tax resident certificate if and when KTA WFOE plans to declare and pay dividends to KTA HK. See “Risk Factors — Risks Relating to Doing Business in the PRC — We may rely on dividends and other distributions on equity paid by our PRC subsidiaries to fund any cash and financing requirements we may have, and any limitation on the ability of our PRC subsidiaries to make payments to us could have a material and adverse effect on our ability to conduct the business.”

CAPITALIZATION

The following table sets forth our capitalization as of [•]:

        on an actual basis; and

        on an as adjusted basis to reflect the issuance and sale of the Class A Ordinary Shares by us in this offering at the assumed initial public offering price of $[•] per Class A Ordinary Share, which is the midpoint of the estimated initial public offering price range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, after deducting the estimated discounts to the underwriters and the estimated offering expenses payable by us and assuming no exercise of the underwriters exercise their over-allotment option.

We currently have 16,609,201 Class A Ordinary Shares and 3,390,799 Class B Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding. Holders of Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares have the same rights except for voting and conversion rights. In respect of matters requiring a vote of all shareholders, each holder of Class A Ordinary Shares will be entitled to one vote per one Class A Ordinary Share and each holder of Class B Ordinary Shares will be entitled to thirty votes per one Class B Ordinary Share. The Class A Ordinary Shares are not convertible into Class B Ordinary Shares under any circumstances. The Class B Ordinary Shares are convertible into Class A Ordinary Shares at any time after issuance at the option of the holder on a one-to-one basis. The Class B Ordinary Shares are not being converted as part of this offering.

You should read this capitalization table in conjunction with “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and the consolidated financial statements and the related notes appearing elsewhere in this prospectus.

DILUTION

If you invest in our Class A Ordinary Shares, your ownership interest will be diluted to the extent of the difference between the initial public offering price per Class A Ordinary Share and our net tangible book value per Class A Ordinary Share after this offering. Dilution results from the fact that the initial public offering price per Class A Ordinary Share is substantially in excess of the net tangible book value per Class A Ordinary Share attributable to the existing shareholders for our presently outstanding Class A Ordinary Shares.

Holders of Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares have the same rights except for voting and conversion rights. In respect of matters requiring a vote of all shareholders, each holder of Class A Ordinary Shares will be entitled to one vote per one Class A Ordinary Share and each holder of Class B Ordinary Shares will be entitled to thirty votes per one Class B Ordinary Share. The Class A Ordinary Shares are not convertible into Class B Ordinary Shares under any circumstances. The Class B Ordinary Shares are convertible into Class A Ordinary Shares at any time after issuance at the option of the holder on a one-to-one basis. Subject to our Articles of Association, upon any transfer or disposition of Class B Ordinary Shares by a holder thereof to any person or entity which is not an affiliate of such holder, such Class B Ordinary Shares validly transferred to the new holder shall be automatically and immediately converted into such number of Class A Ordinary Shares on a one-to-one basis. The Class B Ordinary Shares are not being converted as part of this offering.

Our net tangible book value as of [•], was $[•], or $[•] per ordinary share (both Class A and Class B Ordinary Share). Net tangible book value represents the amount of our total consolidated tangible assets, less the amount of our total consolidated liabilities. Dilution is determined by subtracting the net tangible book value per ordinary share (as adjusted for the offering) from the initial public offering price per Class A Ordinary Share and after deducting the estimated underwriting discounts, non-accountable expense allowance, and the estimated offering expenses payable by us.

After giving effect to our sale of [•] Class A Ordinary Shares offered in this offering based on the assumed initial public offering price of $[•] per Class A Ordinary Share, which is the midpoint of the estimated range of the initial public offering price shown on the front cover of this prospectus, after deduction of the estimated underwriting discounts, non-accountable expense allowance, and the estimated offering expenses payable by us, our as adjusted net tangible book value as of [•], would have been $[•], or $[•] per outstanding ordinary share (both Class A and Class B Ordinary Share). This represents an immediate increase in net tangible book value of $[•] per ordinary share (both Class A and Class B Ordinary Share) to the existing shareholders, and an immediate dilution in net tangible book value of $[•] per Class A Ordinary Share to investors purchasing Class A Ordinary Shares in this offering. The as adjusted information discussed above is illustrative only.

A $[•] change in the assumed public offering price of $[•] per Class A Ordinary Share would, in the case of an increase, increase and, in the case of a decrease, decrease our pro forma net tangible book value after giving effect to the offering by $[•], the pro forma net tangible book value per ordinary share (both Class A and Class B Ordinary Share) after giving effect to this offering by $[•] and the dilution in pro forma net tangible book value per Class A Ordinary Share to new investors in this offering by $[•] assuming no change to the number of Class A Ordinary Shares offered by us as set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, and after deducting underwriting discounts, non-accountable expense allowance, and estimated offering expenses. The pro forma information discussed above is illustrative only. Our net tangible book value following the completion of this offering is subject to adjustment based on the actual initial public offering price of our Class A Ordinary Shares and other terms of this offering determined at pricing.

CORPORATE HISTORY AND STRUCTURE

Our Corporate History

On November 13, 2018, we established Guangxi Yulin Kingtitan Technology Co., Ltd. (“Yulin KTA”).

On October 29, 2021, we incorporated KINGTITAN TECHNOLOGY LIMITED under the laws of the Cayman Islands as our offshore holding company to facilitate offshore financing.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this prospectus. This discussion and analysis and other parts of this prospectus contain forward-looking statements based upon current beliefs, plans and expectations that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Our actual results and the timing of selected events could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of several factors, including those set forth under “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this prospectus. You should carefully read the “Risk Factors” section of this prospectus to gain an understanding of the important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from our forward-looking statements.

Overview

The Company conducts its business operations in China through the operating entity, Yulin KTA. Yulin KTA is principally engaged in developing, manufacturing and selling non-pneumatic tires and aims to become a leading provider of non-pneumatic tires and a technology pioneer, ushering changes to the tire industry in China.

Yulin KTA’s current product portfolio comprises three main types of non-pneumatic tires categorized by applications, including sanitation industry truck tires, pan-travel tires and intelligent robot tires. In addition to selling non-pneumatic tires, Yulin KTA also generates revenue by selling other products, such as tire loading machines and wheel hubs.

Yulin KTA mainly targets middle and high-end customers of China’s commercial tire market, with pricing in the range between $2 and $139. We believe consumers choose Yulin KTA’s products mainly because of their durability, safety and eco-friendliness.

During the fiscal years ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, our revenues were $807,823 and $772,199, respectively, representing a growth rate of approximately 5%. For the same fiscal years, our net loss was $1,534,322 and $1,868,657, respectively.

Key Factors that Affect Operating Results

Our operating results and financial condition have been and are expected to continue to be affected by a number of factors, including the ability to acquire customers, the ability to develop new products, investments in technology and talent, and operational efficiencies, many of which may be beyond our control.

The ability to attract new customers and expand the customer base

Yulin KTA’s non-pneumatic tires are designed to meet the needs and preferences of middle and high-end class consumers in China. Yulin KTA is committed to increasing its brand recognition among its target customers by the following measures: (i) providing high-quality non-pneumatic tires and excellent customer experience, which is expected to drive word-of-mouth referrals and reduce customer acquisition costs, (ii) upgrading the size and efficiency of Yulin KTA’s sales network, (iii) enhancing operational efficiency, by improving production technology and efficiency and other means. In addition, Yulin KTA intends to strategically enter international markets, although as of the date of this prospectus, Yulin KTA has not taken any essential steps to enter international markets. As Yulin KTA continues to develop and launch new tire models, invest in Yulin KTA’s brand, and expand its sales and service network, we expect Yulin KTA to attract more customers and increase the revenue.

Competitiveness and continued expansion of the non-pneumatic tire product portfolio

Yulin KTA plans to introduce new models to expand its product portfolio and customer base. We anticipate that our future revenue growth will be driven in part by the continued expansion of Yulin KTA’s non-pneumatic tire product portfolio.

Yulin KTA’s non-pneumatic tires have different application scenarios. Customer acceptance of Yulin KTA’s non-pneumatic tires depends on Yulin KTA’s ability to maintain product features, including durability, safety, eco-friendliness, quality, flexibility, cost performance and other advantages, which provide a compelling value proposition in the market.

Investment in technology and talent

We believe that Yulin KTA’s strategy of focusing on innovation will differentiate Yulin KTA’s non-pneumatic tires and enhance Yulin KTA’s competitiveness in the market. Yulin KTA cultivates a professional innovation and development team, which comprises approximately 10 full-time members, representing approximately 19% of the total workforce. During the fiscal years ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, Yulin KTA incurred research and development expenses in the amount of $321,694 and $386,828, respectively. Yulin KTA intends to continue to recruit and retain talented research and development personnel as well as allocate resources to innovation to enhance its strength in key technologies.

Improvement of operational efficiency

Yulin KTA’s goal is to improve operational efficiency in product development, manufacturing, sales and marketing, as well as service delivery. Yulin KTA has strategically built a customization workshop that allows the development of new models for different purposes in a fast and low-cost manner. Yulin KTA seeks to reduce the manufacturing overhead on a per unit basis while increasing production and achieving economies of scale. With the effect of economies of scale, the gross margin of Yulin KTA is expected to increase. However, there is no assurance that anticipated operational efficiencies will be realized on the scale and timeline anticipated or, if so, whether sufficient market demand will be sufficient to increase profitability.

The Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic

From 2020 to 2022, the COVID-19 pandemic had some negative impacts on Yulin KTA’s business operations in China. During such period, many of Yulin KTA’s suppliers, customers, and business partners went out of business and domestic consumption slowed. Since Yulin KTA started mass production when the COVID-19 virus began to spread in the beginning of 2020, we do not have quantifiable data to show our financial performance prior to the COVID-19 pandemic or demonstrate the extent of the impact of the COVID-19 on Yulin KTA’s business. However, Yulin KTA did experience delays in collecting account receivables, a lack of market demand and difficulties in market expansion, as a result of restricted public activities during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on Yulin KTA’s business, and our financial condition and results of operations includes, but is not limited to, the following:

        Restricted public activities.    Yulin KTA’s staff reduced their outdoor activities during the COVID-19 pandemic. The sales personnel reduced their business travel and, as a result, Yulin KTA experienced difficulties in market expansion.

        Reduced customer demand.    Even though no customer contract has been terminated due to COVID-19, six customers among the top ten customers of Yulin KTA significantly reduced their purchase from Yulin KTA due to COVID-19 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023. Yulin KTA was able to maintain stable revenue for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023, due to the growing Chinese electric bicycle market and new customers acquired during such period.

        Extended collection time and increase in bad debts.    Yulin KTA’s customers may require additional time to pay us or failure to pay, which may necessitate recording additional allowances for doubtful accounts. In order to faithfully reflect the performance and condition of the Company, we had temporally revised our policy of allowance for doubtful accounts with additional allowances recorded. Please see our consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this prospectus. We are currently working with our customers for payments and have not experienced significant collection issues as of the date of this prospectus. We will monitor our collection closely through the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024.

Revenues

Our total revenues increased by $35,624, or 5%, to $807,823 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023, compared to $772,199 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022. This was mainly because sales channels expanded and the demand for orders increased in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023. Yulin KTA’s strategy for the fiscal years of 2023 and 2022 was to stabilize the business rather than seeking strong growth during the COVID-19 pandemic. If the effect of exchange rate fluctuations is excluded, our total revenues increased by RMB578,924, or 12%, from RMB4,955,969 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022 to RMB5,534,893 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023.

Revenues from pan-travel tires

Revenues from pan-travel tires increased from $443,108 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022, to $552,214 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023, representing an increase of $109,106, or 25%. The increase was mainly due to the increasing demand driven by the growing Chinese electric bicycle market and new customers acquired for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023.

Revenues from sanitation industry truck tires

Revenues from sanitation industry truck tires increased from $93,749 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022, to $129,978 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023, representing an increase of $36,229, or 39%. The increase was mainly because the number of Yulin KTA’s customers in need of sanitation industry truck tires increased from 44 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022, to 54 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023.

Revenues from intelligent robot tires

Revenues from intelligent robot tires decreased from $181,795 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022, to $69,754 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023, representing a decrease of $112,041, or 62%. The decrease was mainly due to the lack of market promotion. Yulin KTA concentrated on promoting pan-travel tires and sanitation industry truck tires during the fiscal year of 2023, as they have relatively higher profit margin.

Revenues from other products

Revenues from other products increased from $53,547 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022, to $55,877 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023, representing an increase of $2,330, or 4%. This was mainly due to the increasing customer demand during the fiscal year of 2023.

Cost of revenues

Cost of revenues consists of the cost of raw materials, direct labor and manufacturing overhead. During the production process, production department records the materials consumption quantity and production hours of each order. Cost of raw materials is allocated according to the consumption of the material. Direct labor and manufacturing overheads are allocated according to the rate of capacity utilization. The cost of raw materials accounts for the largest portion of our cost of revenues.

Gross profit is the difference between revenues and cost of revenues. Gross margin is gross profit divided by revenues. Gross margin is a measure used by management to indicate whether products are sold at an appropriate gross profit. Gross margin is impacted by product mix, product features, and pricing.

The gross profit for pan-travel tires increased by $40,231 to $127,102 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023, as compared to $86,871 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022. The gross margin increased from 20% for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022 to 23% for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023, as the volume of production increased and the costs per unit decreased.

The gross profit for sanitation industry truck tires increased by $3,236 to $45,989 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023, as compared to $42,753 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022. The increase in gross profit was mainly due to the increased revenues from the sale of sanitation industry truck tires.

The gross profit for intelligent robot tires decreased by $8,044 to $6,775 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023, as compared to a gross profit of $14,819 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022. The decrease in gross profit was due to the increase in costs per unit while the volume of production decreased. The gross margin remained largely stable.

The gross profit for other products decreased by $1,980 to $12,300 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023, as compared to $14,280 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022. The decrease in gross profit was due to the decreased demand for tire loading machines.

The total gross profit was $192,166 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023; an increase of $33,443, from $158,723 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022. As the volume of tires manufactured by Yulin KTA increased from approximately 91,000 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022 to approximately 98,700 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023, our gross profit margin increased by 3%, to 24% for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023, from 21% for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022.

Sales and marketing expenses decreased by $85,410, or 24%, from $270,668 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023, as compared to $356,078 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022 because of reduced logistics expense, advertising and promotional expenses and travel expenses for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023.

General and Administrative Expenses

For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023, we incurred general and administrative expenses in the amount of $1,356,595, which was mainly comprised of employee compensation of $171,242, professional services of $197,825, entertainment expense of $26,353, office expenses of $20,026, travel expenses of $8,995, depreciation and amortization expenses of $707,360, amortization of right-of-use assets of $184,783, inventory scrap loss of $29,701, provision for doubtful accounts of $3,330 and other expenses of $6,980.

General and administrative expenses decreased by $72,702, or 5%. Such decrease was primarily due to a decrease of $53,755 in depreciation and amortization expenses, mainly attributable to the effect of the exchange rate, a decrease of $45,453 in inventory scrap loss due to enhanced inventory management and improved raw materials storage and utilization, a decrease of $12,484 in amortization of right-of-use assets, a decrease of $9,191 in other expenses, an increase of $29,888 in employee compensation, job promotions and the increase in the number of management staff, an increase of $12,943 in entertainment expense, an increase of $4,012 in professional services and an increase of $6,927 in provision for doubtful accounts.

Research and development (“R&D”) expenses

R&D expenses primarily include (i) employee compensation, such as salaries, benefits and bonuses on behalf of our R&D personnel, (ii) design and development expenses, primarily including design expenses and technology R&D expenses paid to third party suppliers, outsourcing fees, (iii) materials and supplies expenses related to test materials, and (iv) other expenses. All costs related to R&D are incurred as actually incurred. R&D expenses are primarily affected by the number of R&D personnel, as well as the stage and scale of product development.

For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023, we incurred research and development expenses in the amount of $321,694, which was mainly comprised of employee compensation of $196,051, professional services of $78,854, travel expenses of $4,027, depreciation expenses of $20,777, office expenses of $18,872 and other expenses of $3,113.

For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022, we incurred research and development expenses in the amount of $386,828, which was mainly comprised of employee compensation of $210,479, professional services of $136,183, travel expenses of $2,246, depreciation expenses of $20,671, office expenses of $13,379 and other expenses of $3,870.

Table of Contents

R&D expenses decreased by $65,134, or 17%, for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023. The decrease was mainly due to the decrease in professional services during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023.

Other Income (Expenses)

Other income (expenses) mainly includes government subsidies, interest expenses and other non-operating income (expense), net. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023, the total interest expense decreased by $1,125, or 2%, other non-operating income (expense), net increased by $39,720, or 177%, and government subsidies increased by $17,899, or 7%.

Net Loss

As a result of the foregoing, we reported a net loss of $1,534,322 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023, representing a $334,335, or 18% increase from a net loss of $1,868,657 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our business requires substantial amounts of cash to cover operating expenses as well as to fund capital expenditures, working capital changes, principal and interest payments on our obligations, lease payments, to support tax payments when we generate taxable income. Recently, we have financed our capital requirements with borrowings under our existing term loan facility and cash flows from operating activities.

For the fiscal years ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, we had a net cash outflow in operating activities of $464,233 and $1,080,246, respectively. Our working capital was decreased by $1,281,180 from positive working capital of $696,296 as of March 31, 2022 to negative working capital of $584,884 as of March 31, 2023. The decrease was primarily due to the reduced financial support provided from our major shareholder for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023.

Net working capital deficit

The Company’s deficit in working capital mainly derives from the amount due to related parties and short-term bank borrowings. As of March 31, 2023, the amount due to related parties was $286,495 and the short-term bank borrowings totaled $728,055. We believe this balance of liability would not negatively affect the Company’s liquidity in the next twelve months from the issuance date of the March 31, 2023 and 2022 consolidated financial statements.

We believe revenues will continue to grow and our current cash, available banking facilities, anticipated cash receipts from sales of products, will be sufficient to meet our anticipated working capital requirements and capital expenditures for the next 12 months from the date of this prospectus. We believe our current cash, available banking facilities, anticipated cash receipts from sales of products, and anticipated proceeds from our proposed initial public offering will be sufficient to meet our anticipated working capital requirements and capital expenditures beyond the 12 months from the date of this prospectus. However, we may need additional cash resources in the future if we experience changed business conditions or other developments and may also need additional cash resources in the future if we wish to pursue opportunities for investment, acquisitions, strategic cooperation or other similar actions. If it is determined that the cash requirements exceed our amounts of cash on hand, we may seek to issue debt or equity securities or obtain a credit facility.

Long-term employee loans

Upon an employee’s requests and the Company’s approval, the Company entered into two long-term loan agreements with its employee for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023 and one long-term loan agreement with its employee for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022, respectively. All employee loans were loans with an interest rate of 3.85% advanced to the employee for the purpose of business use. For more details, please see our consolidated financial statements and the relevant notes included elsewhere in this prospectus.

Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities was $464,233 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023 and was primarily attributable to (i) a net loss of $1,534,322, (ii) adjusted by various non-cash items totaling $736,725, including provision for doubtful accounts, inventory provision, amortization of intangible assets, depreciation for property and equipment, amortization of right-of-use assets and government subsidies recognized from deferred government grants, (iii) an increase of $195,863 in accounts receivable, (iv) an increase of $59,206 in deferred IPO costs, (v) an increase of $43,824 in other receivable and (vi) a decrease of $960 in contract liabilities. These cash outflows were offset by (i) an increase of $4,365 in accounts payable, (ii) a decrease of $327,729 in inventory, (iii) an increase of $137,214 in amounts due to related parties, (iv) an increase of $44,816 in tax payables, (v) a decrease of $65,005 in deductible value added tax, or VAT, input, (vi) a decrease of $10,584 in amounts due from related parties, (vii) a decrease of $13,025 in prepayments, and (viii) an increase of $30,479 in payroll accrual.

For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023, net cash used in operating activities was $464,233, compared to $1,080,246 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022, representing a decrease of $616,013, or 57%. The decrease of cash used in operating activities was mainly due to the decrease of cash paid in relation to our proposed IPO for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities was $53,135 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023 and was attributable to the purchase of property and equipment.

For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023, cash used in investing activities was $53,135 comparing to $151,233 of cash used in investing activities for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022. The outflow decreased by $98,098, or 65%, was mainly due to the decrease in purchase of molds for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023.

Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities was $537,099 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023 and was primarily attributable to repayments to related parties of $639,265 and repayments of short-term bank borrowings of $729,755. These cash outflows were offset by (i) proceeds from short-term bank borrowings of $729,755, and (ii) advances from a related party of $102,166.

For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023, cash used in financing activities was $537,099, compared to cash provided by financing activities of $1,953,726 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022. The cash provided by financing activities decreased by $2,490,825, or 127%, which was primarily due to the decrease in a long-term related-party loan for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023.

The above leases are rent-free, pursuant to the terms of the respective lease agreements, as the local government agrees to pay the rent for the Company. The Company estimates the monthly rent based on the market prices of leasing similar properties. The lease expenses incurred are recognized as government subsidies.

As the Company bears no obligation to repay the rent and the rent-free lease is recorded as government subsidies, the Company recorded deferred government grants instead of lease liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets.

As the leases do not cover most of the underlying asset’s economic life and the residual value of the underlying assets at the end of lease term are not readily available. The Company cannot get the information from the lessor as such information considering the sensitive nature of the information to the lessor and the potential impact it could have on existing or future lease negotiations. As the rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable, management decided to choose the incremental borrowing rate as the discount rates.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires that we make estimates and assumptions. In certain circumstances, those estimates and assumptions can affect amounts reported in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes. In preparing our financial statements, we have made our best estimates and judgments of certain amounts included in the financial statements, giving due consideration to materiality. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable. Application of the accounting policies described below involves the exercise of judgment and use of assumptions as to future uncertainties and, as a result, actual results could differ from these estimates. The following is a brief discussion of our critical accounting policies and estimates.

Use of Estimates and Assumptions

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. Significant accounting estimates reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements primarily include, but are not limited to, the determination of performance obligations and allocation of transaction price to those performance obligations, allowance for doubtful accounts, lower of cost and net realizable value of inventory, assessment for impairment of long-lived assets and intangible assets, operating right-of-use assets, recoverability of receivables, valuation of deferred tax assets.

Management bases the estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Accounts receivable, net

Accounts receivable represents the Company’s right to consideration in exchange for goods and services that the Company has transferred to the customer before payment is due. Accounts receivable are stated at the carrying amount, net of an estimated allowance for uncollectible accounts. The Company reviews on a periodic basis for doubtful accounts for the outstanding trade receivable balances based on historical collection trends, ageing of receivables and other information available. In establishing the required allowance for doubtful accounts, management considers historical collection experience, aging of the receivables, the economic environment, industry trend analysis, and the credit history and financial conditions of the customers. Management reviews its receivables on a regular basis to determine if the bad debt allowance is adequate and adjusts the allowance when necessary. Delinquent account balances are written-off against allowance for doubtful accounts after all means of collection have been exhausted and that the likelihood of collection is not probable.

Inventory, net

Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value and consists of raw materials and finished goods. Cost is calculated on the weighted average basis and includes all costs to acquire and other costs to bring the inventory to their present location and condition. The Company records adjustments to inventory for excess quantities, obsolescence, or provision, when appropriate, to reflect inventory at net realizable value. Certain factors, such as changes in demand of the Company’s products or more competitors in the non-pneumatic tire manufacturing industry, could impact the net realizable value of inventory. The Company continually evaluates the recoverability based on assumptions of customer demand and market conditions. Assumptions are made on the analysis of the Company’s recent sales of its products volume and the physical condition of inventory.

Property and Equipment, Net

Property and equipment are stated at cost net of accumulated depreciation and impairment. Depreciation is provided over the estimated useful lives of the assets using the straight-line method from the time the assets are placed in service, after considering the estimated residual value which is 0% of costs.

61

Table of Contents

The Estimated useful lives are as follows:

Classification

 

Estimated
Useful Life

Production equipment

 

3 to 10 years

Motor vehicles

 

3 to 4 years

Office equipment

 

3 to 5 years

General equipment

 

3 to 10 years

Leasehold Improvement

 

3 years

The cost and related accumulated depreciation of assets sold or otherwise retired are eliminated from the accounts and any gain or loss is included in the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs, which do not materially extend the useful lives of the assets, are charged to earnings as incurred, while additions, renewals and betterments, which are expected to extend the useful life of assets, are capitalized. The Company also re-evaluates the periods of depreciation to determine whether subsequent events and circumstances warrant revised estimates of useful lives.

Intangible assets, net

Intangible assets are carried at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment, if any. Intangible assets are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives as below:

Classification

 

Useful lives

Patent rights

 

10 to 20 years

    

The Company’s intangible assets with definite useful lives primarily consist of patent rights. The Company typically amortizes its intangible assets with definite useful lives on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the contractual terms or the estimated useful lives of ten years or twenty years, which In accordance with Article 42 of the Patent Law of the people’s Republic of China, management clearly confirm that the term of patent right for invention is 20 years, and that for utility model and design patent is 10 years.

Leases

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 842, Leases, to require lessees to recognize all leases, with certain exceptions, on the balance sheets, while recognition on the statement of operations will remain similar to lease accounting under ASC 840. Subsequently, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-10, Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases, ASU No. 2018-11, Targeted Improvements, ASU No. 2018-20, Narrow-Scope Improvements for Lessors, and ASU 2019-01, Codification Improvements, to clarify and amend the guidance in ASU No. 2016-02. ASC 842 eliminates real estate-specific provisions and modifies certain aspects of lessor accounting.

The Company adopted the ASUs as of January 1, 2019 using the cumulative effect adjustment approach. Upon adoption, the Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard, which allowed the Company to carry forward the historical determination of contracts as leases, lease classification and not reassess initial direct costs for historical lease arrangements. In addition, the Company also elected the practical expedient to apply consistently to all of the Company’s leases to use hindsight in determining the lease term (that is, when considering lessee options to extend or terminate the lease and to purchase the underlying asset) and in assessing impairment of the Company’s right-of-use (“ROU”) assets.

All leases of the Company are currently classified as operating leases. Operating leases are included in operating ROU assets and deferred government grants on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2023 and 2022. Please refer to Note 11 — Leases for the disclosures regarding the Company’s leases.

Table of Contents

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Long-lived assets, including property and equipment and intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances (such as a significant adverse change to market conditions that will impact the future use of the assets) indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. The Company assesses the recoverability of the assets based on the undiscounted future cash flows the assets are expected to generate and recognize an impairment loss when estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset plus net proceeds expected from disposition of the asset, if any, are less than the carrying value of the asset. If an impairment is identified, the Company will reduce the carrying amount of the asset to its estimated fair value based on a discounted cash flows approach or, when available and appropriate, to comparable market values. For the years ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, no impairment of long-lived assets was recognized.

Fair Value Measurement

The accounting standard regarding fair value of financial instruments and related fair value measurements defines financial instruments and requires disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments held by the Company.

The accounting standards define fair value, establish a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement and enhance disclosure requirements for fair value measures. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

        Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

        Level 2 inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the assets or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instruments.

        Level 3 inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value.

Unless otherwise disclosed, the fair value of the Company’s financial instruments including cash, accounts receivable, other receivables, amounts due from (to) related parties, long-term employee loans, short-term bank borrowings, accounts payable, contract liabilities, and payroll accruals approximate their recorded values due to their short-term maturities. The fair value of longer-term leases approximates their recorded values as their stated interest rates approximate the rates currently available.

Revenue Recognition

The Company elected to adopt ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASC 606), effective as of January 1, 2019. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements for the years ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 are presented under ASC 606.

Under ASC 606, the core principle requires an entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that it expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for those goods or services recognized as performance obligations are satisfied. ASC 606 establishes principles for reporting information about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from the entity’s contracts to provide goods or services to customers. This new guidance provides a five-step analysis in determining when and how revenue is recognized. The five-step model requires that the Company:

 

Step 1:

 

Identify the contract (s) with a customer

   

Step 2:

 

Identify the performance obligations in the contract

   

Step 3:

 

Determine the transaction price

   

Step 4:

 

Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract

   

Step 5:

 

Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation

63

Table of Contents

The application of the five-step model to the revenue streams compared to the prior guidance did not result in significant changes in the way the Company records its revenue. Upon adoption, the Company evaluated its revenue recognition policy for all revenue streams within the scope of the ASU under previous standards and using the five-step model under the new guidance and confirmed that there were no differences in the pattern of revenue recognition. The Company applied practical expedient when sales taxes were collected from customers, meaning sales tax is recorded net of revenue, instead of cost of revenue, which are subsequently remitted to governmental authorities and are excluded from the transaction price.

The contract with the customer contains only one performance obligation. Companies sign different contracts with customers for different businesses, and each contract contains only one kind of performance obligation.

When either party to a contract has performed, the Company presents the contract in the statement of financial position as a contract asset or a contract liability, depending on the relationship between the entity’s performance and the customer’s payment.

A contract asset is the Company’s right to consideration in exchange for goods and services that the Company has transferred to a customer. A receivable is recorded when the Company has an unconditional right to consideration. A right to consideration is unconditional if only the passage of time is required before payment of that consideration is due.

If a customer pays consideration or the Company has a right to an amount of consideration that is unconditional, before the Company transfers a good or service to the customer, the Company presents the contract liability when the payment is made, or a receivable is recorded (whichever is earlier). A contract liability is the Company’s obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer for which the Company has received consideration (or an amount of consideration is due) from the customer. The Company’s contract liabilities primarily resulted from the multiple performance obligations identified in the product sales contract, which is recorded as deferred government grants and contract liabilities.

The Company’s revenue recognition policies effective upon the adoption of ASC 606 are as follows:

The Company’s revenues are mainly generated from sales of non-pneumatic tires. The Company’s current product portfolio mainly comprises three types of non-pneumatic tires categorized by applications, including sanitation industry truck tires, pan-travel tires and intelligent robot tires. In addition to selling non-pneumatic tires, the Company also generates revenue by selling other products, such as tire loading machines and wheel hubs.

The sales contract clearly stipulates the product sales obligations. The Company enters a contract with customers for sales of products. According to the contract, the customer is required to place orders and a certain amount of payment in advance is required after receiving the order, which means the payments are received prior to the transfer of tires. The Company records a contract liability for the allocated amount regarding those unperformed obligations. The remaining consideration shall be settled after the delivery of the products.

The standard warranty provided by the Company to the customer is accounted for in accordance with ASC 460, Guarantees, and the estimated costs are recorded as a liability when the Company transfers the control of tires to a customer.

Revenues represent the amount of consideration that the Company is entitled to in exchange for the transfer of promised goods or services in the ordinary course of the Company’s activities and is recorded net of VAT. Consistent with the criteria of ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue when the performance obligation in a contract is satisfied by transferring the control of promised goods or services to the customer.

Principal and Agent Considerations

Based on the Company’s evaluation using a control model, the Company determined that in all of its major business activities, it serves as a principal rather than an agent within their revenue arrangements in accordance with ASC 606-10-55-36 to 39. The reasons are as follows:

(a)     The Company is primarily responsible for fulfilling the promise to provide the specified goods.

(b)    The Company is the party responsible for inventory risk.

(c)     The Company is the only party to establish the contract price with customer.

Revenue and the associated costs of product sales are both reported on a gross basis within the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss.

Income Taxes

Current income taxes are recorded in accordance with the regulations of the relevant tax jurisdiction. The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method in accordance with ASC 740, Income Tax. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the tax consequences attributable to differences between carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities in the consolidated financial statements and their respective tax basis, and operating loss carry-forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss in the period of change. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce the amount of deferred tax assets if it is considered more likely than not that amount of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

Going Concern

These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies that the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. For the year ended March 31, 2023, the Company had a working capital deficit of $584,884 and had an accumulated deficit of $38,973,928. The Company incurred net losses of $1,534,322 and $1,868,657 for the years ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Net cash used in operating activities was $464,233 and $1,080,246 for the years ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The Company will rely on our current cash, available banking facilities, and anticipated cash receipts from sales of products. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its shareholders, the ability to raise equity or debt financing, and the attainment of profitable operations from the Company’s future business. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk and Credit Risk

Interest Rate Risk

We have not been exposed to material risks due to changes in market interest rates, and we have not used any derivative financial instruments to manage our interest risk exposure.

After completion of this offering, we may invest the net proceeds we receive from the offering in interest-earning instruments. Investments in both fixed rate and floating rate interest earning instruments carry a degree of interest rate risk. Fixed rate securities may have their fair market value adversely impacted due to a rise in interest rates, while floating rate securities may produce less income than expected if interest rates fall.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and accounts receivable.

The Company maintains certain bank accounts in the PRC. As of March 31, 2023 and 2022, cash balances in the PRC were $282,142 and $1,448,821, respectively. On May 1, 2015, China’s new Deposit Insurance Regulation came into effect, pursuant to which banking financial institutions, such as commercial banks, established in the PRC are required to purchase deposit insurance for deposits in RMB and in foreign currency placed with them. Such Deposit Insurance Regulation would not be effective in providing complete protection for the Company’s accounts, as its aggregate deposits are much higher than the compensation limit, which is RMB500,000 for one bank. Other than such

deposit insurance mechanism, the Company’s bank accounts are not insured by Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance or other insurance. However, the Company believes that the risk of failure of any of these Chinese banks is remote. Bank failure is uncommon in the PRC and the Company believes that those Chinese banks that hold the Company’s cash are financially sound based on public available information.

For the credit risk related to accounts receivable, the Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers. The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon estimates, factors surrounding the credit risk of specific customers and other information. The allowance amounts were immaterial for all periods presented.

Foreign Currency Risk

A majority of the Company’s expense transactions are denominated in RMB and a significant portion of the Company and its subsidiaries’ assets and liabilities are denominated in RMB. RMB is not freely convertible into foreign currencies. In the PRC, certain foreign exchange transactions are required by law to be transacted only by authorized financial institutions at exchange rates set by the People’s Bank of China (“PBOC”). It is difficult to predict how market forces or PRC or U.S. government policy may impact the exchange rate between the RMB and the U.S. dollar in the future. The change in the value of the RMB relative to the U.S. dollar may affect the Company’s financial results reported in U.S. dollar terms without giving effect to any underlying changes in the Company’s business or results of operations. Remittances in currencies other than RMB by the Company in China must be processed through the PBOC or other China foreign exchange regulatory bodies which require certain supporting documentation for the remittance.

As a result, the Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk, as revenues and results of operations may be affected by fluctuations in the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and RMB. If the RMB depreciates against the U.S. dollar, the value of RMB revenues, earnings and assets as expressed in U.S. dollar financial statements will decline. The Company has not entered into any hedging transactions in an effort to reduce its exposure to foreign exchange risk.

China’s Non-pneumatic Tire Market

Definition and Classification of China’s Non-pneumatic Tire Market

Non-pneumatic tires refer to tires that are not supported by air pressure and achieve supporting and cushioning performance with certain material and tire structural elements. Although traditional pneumatic tires have relatively high performance of riding comfort and shock absorption, they have widespread shortcomings, such as reduced durability, and greater susceptibility to punctures, air leakage and blowouts, which may cause road safety problems and major accidents. According to the Frost & Sullivan Report, in 2022, nearly 50% of traffic accidents in China were related to tires. In addition, traditional pneumatic tires may not withstand daily use in certain industry applications, such as the military and the mining industry, due to harsh driving environments. The performance of pneumatic tires may degrade significantly once they lose air pressure, and the potential for improving their safety performance is relatively limited.

According to the tire structures, non-pneumatic tires can be primarily divided into three categories; namely open-structure tires, solid tires and non-pneumatic hollow tires.

Market Drivers of China’s Non-pneumatic Tire Market

Favorable Policies:    The Chinese government has released a series of policies that focus on environmental protection and energy conservation. For instance, the Guiding Opinions on Promoting High-quality Development of Petrochemical and Chemical Industry in the 14th Five-Year Plan (《关于 十四五推动石化化工行业高质量发展的指导意见》), which was issued in March 2022, proposed to increase the proportion of green products in the tires industry. The production of traditional rubber tires generates a large amount of wastewater and waste gas, which may cause air and soil pollution, while the production of open-structure tires is based on polymer elastic materials, which are more environmentally-friendly. Approximately 20% of pneumatic tires are scrapped prematurely, due to air leakage, burst and wear, while non-pneumatic tires have much longer service life. Favorable polices on environment protection may promote the development of China’s non-pneumatic tire market. The sales volume of non-pneumatic tires in China is expected to reach approximately 102.1 million in 2027, representing a CAGR of 13.4% from 2022 to 2027, according to the Frost & Sullivan Report.

Growing Demand for Non-pneumatic Tires:    According to the Frost & Sullivan Report, the prosperity of urban retail and online catering and shopping businesses in China drives the growth of on-demand last-mile delivery services. The most widely used transportation tool for on-demand last-mile delivery services is electric two-wheeled vehicles, due to their efficiency and flexibility. As China has eased the COVID-19 restrictions, China has experienced an increase in travel and demand for transportation tools, including shared bikes and shared electric two-wheeled vehicles. These developments are expected to stimulate high demand for non-pneumatic tires, which have mature applications in medium and low speed driving scenarios, such as bikes and electric two-wheeled vehicles. Further, the improving awareness of traffic safety is anticipated to facilitate the adoption of non-pneumatic tires, due to their better safety performance.

BUSINESS

Overview

Our Company is an offshore holding company incorporated in the Cayman Islands without any material operations of its own. Our Company conducts its business operations in China through Yulin KTA. Yulin KTA commenced its operation in 2018 and is principally engaged in developing, manufacturing and selling non-pneumatic tires. Our Company, through Yulin KTA, aims to become a leading provider of non-pneumatic tires and a technology pioneer ushering changes to the tire industry in China.

Yulin KTA’s current product portfolio mainly comprises three types of non-pneumatic tires categorized by applications, including sanitation industry truck tires, pan-travel tires and intelligent robot tires. In addition to selling non-pneumatic tires, Yulin KTA also generates revenue by selling other products, such as tire loading machines and wheel hubs. Yulin KTA is able to provide standardized products with basic configurations and customized products with distinct variations to meet a wide range of customers’ specifications.

Our Company’s revenue has demonstrated growth in the previous two fiscal years. In the fiscal years ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, our revenue was $807,823 and $772,199, respectively, representing a growth rate of 5%. For the same fiscal years, our net loss was $1,534,322 and $1,868,657, respectively.

Industry Background

The market in which Yulin KTA’s products are sold is competitive. According to Frost & Sullivan, whom Yulin KTA commissioned in 2023 to produce the “China’s Tires Market Independent Market Study” (the “F&S Report”), as of December 31, 2022, there were approximately 900 tire manufacturers in China. In 2022, the sales volume of tires in China was approximately 1.2 billion and is expected to reach approximately 1.5 billion by the end of 2027, representing a compound annual growth rate (“CAGR”) of 5.1% from 2022 to 2027.

Tires can be divided into pneumatic tires and non-pneumatic tires based on tire structure. Pneumatic tires are made of reinforced rubber and inflated with compressed air, and non-pneumatic tires eliminate the need for air inflation and utilize certain materials and structures to optimize the mechanical performance and capacity. Traditionally, pneumatic tires have occupied a dominant position in the tire market in China. However, we believe non-pneumatic tires represent the development trend for the future and have the potential to transform the tire industry, because non-pneumatic tires are resistant to air leakage, punctures, blowouts, and other potential risks that lead to traffic accidents, and are expected to balance the trade-off between road safety and operational performance. According to the F&S Report, among approximately 900 tire manufacturers in China as of December 31, 2022, over 100 tire manufacturers can produce non-pneumatic tires. In 2022, the sales volume of non-pneumatic tires in China was approximately 59.3 million and is expected to reach approximately 109.2 million by the end of 2027, representing a CAGR of 13.0% from 2022 to 2027, which is higher than the estimated CAGR of 5.1% for the Chinese tire market in general for the same period.

Yulin KTA competes against many large and small tire manufacturers, including pneumatic and non-pneumatic tire manufacturers in China. According to the F&S Report, competitors that manufacture pneumatic tires include Giti, Maxxis and CST, and competitors that manufacture non-pneumatic tires include Nedong and Risingsun. We compete with other tire manufacturers on the basis of product design, performance, price and terms, reputation, and warranty terms. As new competitors enter the market, we expect competition in this market will continue to be intense. We believe the major entry barriers to this market include technological capability, capital investments and customer relationships.

Our Strengths

Product features

Yulin KTA seeks to innovate and develop a unique product portfolio of non-pneumatic tires to serve various commercial applications, promote road safety, and protect the ecological environment. We believe Yulin KTA’s non-pneumatic tires demonstrate the following features:

        Environmental Friendliness.    Yulin KTA prioritizes the use of environment-friendly raw materials in manufacturing its non-pneumatic tires. For example, one of the principal raw materials used by Yulin KTA, polyurethane, is reusable and biodegradable. In addition, Yulin KTA ensures its non-pneumatic tires undergo repeated and stringent quality and safety testing that focuses on both physical properties and chemical components of the tires.

73

Table of Contents

        Durability.    We believe polyurethane withstands various forms of abrasion and demonstrates better durability than rubber, which is widely used on pneumatic tires. By virtue of having better durability, Yulin KTA’s non-pneumatic tires reduce tire maintenance and replacement costs.

        Safety.    Yulin KTA’s non-pneumatic tires eliminate the need for air inflation and are resistant to punctures, blowouts and other similar road hazards that are specific to pneumatic tires, thereby promoting road safety.

        Heat dissipation.    Certain non-pneumatic tires adopt the traditional close structure of tires, which impedes the air flow between the internal tire structure and the air, and could lead to overheating damage and tire failure. We believe Yulin KTA’s non-pneumatic tires are distinguished from such non-pneumatic tires by virtue of their open structure, which comprises a combination of staggered tube structure, radial hollow tunnel and round-like structural design. This open structure creates the direct contact between the internal tire structure and the air, and can facilitate heat dissipation and reduce tire wear problems caused by failure of heat dissipation.

The open structure of Yulin KTA’s non-pneumatic tires

        Driving comfort.    The open structure of Yulin KTA’s non-pneumatic tires adopts staggered tube and round-like structural designs, which we believe can reduce the deformation of the tire support structure especially when the tire load increases, and promote driving comfort.

        Customized Applications.    Polyurethane, one of the principal raw materials for Yulin KTA’s non-pneumatic tires, has a watery transparency. By mixing polyurethane with colorants or luminous materials, Yulin KTA is able to produce tires with customized color or luminous features to satisfy customers’ requirements. Yulin KTA also has the manufacturing capacity to produce tires according to other customers’ specifications, such as tire speed, loading capacity, abrasion resistance, and rolling resistance.

Examples of Yulin KTA’s luminous tires

        expanding the customer base by widening the distribution of tire loading machines for Yulin KTA’s tires;

        expanding the distribution networks by establishing online sales channels and cooperating with offline distributors;

        retaining and attracting talents by improving the compensation packages and offering standardized employee training programs to enhance the employees’ skills and experience on production, sales, customer service and management; and

        investing in businesses engaged in the manufacturing of motor vehicles; although, as of the date of this prospectus, we have not identified, or engaged in any material discussions regarding, any potential target.

The capital investment funds for Yulin KTA’s growth strategies would come from the net income and the contributed capital from the shareholders, including, but not limited to, funds raised from this offering. The actual investments in the growth strategies may differ from the desired investments if this offering is unsuccessful.

Business Operations

Yulin KTA generates revenue primarily through manufacturing and selling non-pneumatic tires for various applications.

Sourcing and Production

Yulin KTA has its own manufacturing facilities and also cooperates with third-party manufacturers on an as-needed basis. Yulin KTA maintains the manufacturing qualifications as required by the relevant laws and regulations in China. Yulin KTA has the capacity of manufacturing both standardized and customized products to satisfy customers’ requirements on color, size, tire speed, loading capacity, abrasion resistance, and rolling resistance, etc. As of the date of this prospectus, Yulin KTA has sufficient manufacturing capacity to complete its orders and has not experienced any backlog of orders for its operations. For further details on Yulin KTA’s manufacturing capacity, see “— Operating Lease Right-of-Use Assets.”

Yulin KTA’s manufacturing facilities are primarily designed for mass production. When Yulin KTA receives an order for a relatively small number of products, it may determine that in-house manufacturing is not cost-effective and will then outsource to a third-party manufacturer to complete the order. For the fiscal years ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, Yulin KTA worked with eight and eight third-party manufacturers, respectively, and one and two of them independently accounted for more than 10% of the finished products by value, respectively. For the same fiscal years, Yulin KTA maintained stable relationships with all the third-party manufacturers and there have not been any manufacturing interruptions or business disputes with such manufacturers. If Yulin KTA loses any one third-party manufacturer, we believe that Yulin KTA will be able to find a replacement of appropriate manufacturing capacity at reasonable cost, due to the low concentration of third-party manufacturers. As such, we believe that the loss of any one third-party manufacturer will not have a material adverse impact on Yulin KTA’s ability to offer its products, irrespective of the size of any order.

Table of Contents

In addition, the production of Yulin KTA’s products could be affected by the cost and availability of raw materials, such as hardware, polyurethane, and packaging components. Yulin KTA sources all of its raw materials from various suppliers in China. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023, four suppliers accounted for 21%, 14%, 12% and 11% of the total purchase costs, respectively. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022, three suppliers accounted for 45%, 18% and 14% of the total purchase costs, respectively. If Yulin KTA loses any one supplier, we believe it will not have a material adverse impact on Yulin KTA’s production because of the low concentration of suppliers and the availability of raw materials. According to Yulin KTA’s assessment of market conditions, the price and supply of raw materials remained relatively stable in the fiscal years ended March 31, 2023 and 2022.

Distribution and Sale

Yulin KTA contracts with end users and distributors that sell the products to end users. Yulin KTA usually warrants the products to be free from certain defects for a certain period of time. For the fiscal years ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, Yulin KTA sold products to approximately 61 and 225 customers, respectively, and three and two of them independently accounted for more than 10% of the total revenue, respectively. For the same fiscal years, Yulin KTA maintained stable relationships with all the customers and there have not been any interruptions or business disputes with such customers. If Yulin KTA loses any one significant customer, it might adversely affect the business operations in the short term, but we believe that Yulin KTA will be able to find a suitable replacement, due to the increased popularity of its products. As such, we do not believe that the loss of any one customer would have an enduring material adverse impact on Yulin KTA’s business. In the fiscal years ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, our revenue was $807,823 and $772,199, respectively, representing a growth rate of 5%.

Logistics and Warehousing

Yulin KTA stores the products in its warehouse and delivers the products as needed by customers. Yulin KTA cooperates with a third-party transportation agency for delivery services. The risk of loss is transferred from Yulin KTA to the transportation agency once the products leave Yulin KTA’s warehouse and are received by the transportation agency. After Yulin KTA’s customers accept the products at their storage facilities, such customers are responsible for the subsequent warehousing, logistics, and the risk of loss. For Yulin KTA’s warehousing capacity, see “— Operating Lease Right-of-Use Assets.”

Our Products

Current Product Portfolio

Yulin KTA has developed a product portfolio including three main categories varied by product applications, consisting of sanitation industry truck tires, pan-travel tires, and intelligent robot tires. Yulin KTA is able to provide standardized products with basic configurations and customized products with distinct variations, allowing Yulin KTA to offer a broad spectrum of products to meet customers’ specifications.

Sanitation industry truck tires are manufactured for use on sanitation vehicles and delivery trucks. Such tires range from approximately 340mm to approximately 480mm in outside diameter and in weight from 1,745g to 6,500g. We believe the sanitation industry truck tires have high tear resistance and loading capacity. For the fiscal years ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, the sales revenue of sanitation industry truck tires was $129,978 and $93,749, respectively, representing approximately 16% and 12% of the total revenue, respectively.

Pan-travel tires are manufactured for use on vehicles, such as bikes, electric motorbikes, and electric scooters. Such tires range from approximately 153mm to approximately 610mm in outside diameter and in weight from 330g to 1,350g. We believe the pan-travel tires have high tear resistance, shock absorption, and rolling resistance. For the fiscal years ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, the sales revenue of pan-travel tires was $552,214 and $443,108, respectively, representing approximately 68% and 57% of the total revenue, respectively.

Intelligent robot tires are manufactured for use on robots and intelligent devices. Such tires range from approximately 97mm to approximately 385mm in outside diameter and in weight from 130g to 4,130g. We believe the intelligent robot tires have anti-static and non-marking properties, and have high shock absorption. For the fiscal years ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, the sales revenue of intelligent robot tires was $69,754 and $181,795, respectively, representing approximately 9% and 24% of the total revenue, respectively.

Examples of Yulin KTA’s intelligent robot tires

In addition to selling non-pneumatic tires, Yulin KTA also generates revenue by selling other products such as tire loading machines and wheel hubs. For the fiscal years ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, the sales revenue of these products was $55,877 and $53,547, respectively, representing 7% and 7% of the total revenue, respectively.

Potential Product Applications in the Future

Yulin KTA is dedicated to investing in product innovation and development and exploring additional commercial applications for its products. Potential future applications of Yulin KTA’s products include the following, and none of the following product applications have generated any revenue for our Company as of the date of this prospectus.

High-speed tires

Yulin KTA built a prototype of high-speed tires for passenger vehicles in 2018. We believe such prototype has sufficiently addressed the major issue for high-speed tires — heat dissipation. However, due to the lack of manufacturing equipment and machines, Yulin KTA is currently not able to commercialize the high-speed tires.

Small aircraft tires

Yulin KTA built a prototype of tires for small aircrafts in 2019. The prototype was tested on several test flights conducted by Yulin KTA in 2019. As of the date of this prospectus, Yulin KTA has not yet sold any tires for small aircrafts and is approaching potential customers.

Examples of Yulin KTA’s prototype of small aircraft tires

Other potential applications

Yulin KTA is developing its ability to customize its tires for special vehicles, including security patrol vehicles and small firefighting vehicles. As of the date of this prospectus, Yulin KTA has not commercialized the applications for special vehicles.

Product Pricing

The pricing of products sold to consumers is based on the universal market price determined by Yulin KTA. To determine such universal market price, Yulin KTA primarily considers product manufacturing costs. Yulin KTA’s products are sold at relatively higher prices than pneumatic tires and certain non-pneumatic tires and in the range from approximately $2 to $139. However, we believe Yulin KTA’s pricing is not a barrier to growing the business amid the market competition, because Yulin KTA’s competitive advantage depends on its ability to ensure product quality, operational performance, use value, and cost-effectiveness.

Product Quality

Yulin KTA implements comprehensive measures to maintain product quality. To ensure product quality before and during the production process, Yulin KTA carefully selects and purchases raw materials that meet the customers’ requirements, conducts testing on the physical properties of raw materials before use in the materials laboratory, performs quality evaluations on the first batch of sample products, and tests the sample products under various environments in the simulation laboratory. Yulin KTA completes all of these quality control steps before it starts the in-house manufacturing process. In addition, Yulin KTA carefully selects third-party manufacturers. All of the selected third-party manufacturers have the production qualifications. None of the third-party manufacturers have been investigated for product safety incidents or sanctioned by the relevant government authorities for product safety issues as of the date of this prospectus.

To ensure product quality after the production process, Yulin KTA adopts a product return and refund management system. According to this system, in the event that Yulin KTA’s products do not conform to customers’ specifications or do not satisfy customers’ needs, the sales personnel will walk the customers through the product return or refund process, and the quality control personnel will inspect the returned products and decide whether the products are suitable for future sales. By maintaining the product return and refund management system, Yulin KTA seeks to maintain good relationships with its customers and improve product quality.

To ensure product quality in general, Yulin KTA adopts a product quality management system to guide its production process. This system is primarily designed for open-structure tires and is certified to meet the quality management system standard of GB/T19001-2016/ISO9001: 2015. Yulin KTA subjects its non-pneumatic tires to repeated and stringent quality and safety testing. For example, Yulin KTA entrusted a third-party evaluation agency in 2023 to conduct testing on its non-pneumatic tire sample and such agency concluded that the chemical components of the tire sample meet the Directive 2011/65/EU, which sets forth the European Union’s restrictions on the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment.

80

Table of Contents

As of the date of this prospectus, Yulin KTA has not been subject to any significant product quality incidents, nor has it been sanctioned by any relevant government authorities for product quality issues, nor has it received any complaints from any end users about product quality issues.

Product Sustainability

Yulin KTA seeks to minimize the adverse environmental impact arising from its operations. Yulin KTA prioritizes the use of environment-friendly raw materials in manufacturing its products. Yulin KTA seeks to monitor and track waste management, pollution prevention, and overall environmental health in relation to its footprints. For example, Yulin KTA conducts routine internal environmental assessment audits and accepts third-party environmental inspections at its facilities. Yulin KTA also implements manufacturing safety management rules for the prevention and control of production safety accidents. As of the date of this prospectus, Yulin KTA has not been subject to any claims or punishment relating to non-compliance of relevant environmental regulations.

Sales and Marketing

As of the date of this prospectus, Yulin KTA conducts sales activities through its professional sales team, which comprises approximately 12 members. Each member has at least five years of sales experience on average. Yulin KTA’s sales team implement and review the sales strategies based on market changes and industry predictions on a regular and as-needed basis.

Yulin KTA consolidates multi-channel marketing programs to promote the products. The marketing programs are implemented through online and other types of advertising activities to increase the public awareness of the products, such as launching advertising campaigns on online platforms, websites, and mobile applications, and attending various industry events. In addition to sales and marketing activities, we believe that the key strength for Yulin KTA to retain the existing customers and attract new customers is the ability to ensure product quality and customer satisfaction.

Employees

Yulin KTA strives to attract, recruit, and retain talents through its compensation and benefit programs, as well as learning and development opportunities that support career advancement. In addition to salaries, Yulin KTA offers complementary benefits, including, among other things, pension insurance, medical insurance, unemployment insurance, work-related injury insurance and maternity insurance, as required by the applicable laws and regulations in China.

Yulin KTA enters into employment agreements with each of its employees. The employment agreements typically contain confidentiality and non-compete restrictions throughout the continuation of the employment relationships, among other restrictions. We believe that Yulin KTA maintains good working relationships with its employees, and it has not experienced any labor disputes. None of the employees are represented by labor unions.

Yulin KTA has a total of 53 full-time employees as of the date of this prospectus. Yulin KTA had 48, 49 and 62 employees as of March 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The following table sets forth the numbers of employees categorized by function as of the date of this prospectus.

On September 9, 2023, Yulin KTA entered into a lease agreement under which Yulin KTA leases an aggregate of approximately 6,250 square meters of space from an unrelated third party, which lease has an expiration date of November 30, 2033. The leased space is located in Yulin City, Guangxi Province, China and will be used for manufacturing, employee lodging and office space. Yulin KTA is in the process of, and has not completed its relocation to the new leased space as of the date of this prospectus. Yulin KTA expects to complete such relocation by December 2023.

We believe that the current facilities are adequate for the time being. There may be a need to secure additional office space as Yulin KTA’s business grows in the future.

Intellectual Property

As of the date of this prospectus, Yulin KTA has registered 2 domain names and 18 patents in China. These patents are owned by Yulin KTA and consist of (i) 2 invention patents which are protected for 20 years from the application date, (ii) 12 design patents which are protected for ten years from the application date, and (iii) 4 utility patents which are protected for ten years from the application date. Yulin KTA considers the invention patents are of such importance that the loss or expiration of any of them would materially affect its business. Yulin KTA relies on a combination of intellectual property laws and contractual restrictions on disclosure to protect its intellectual property rights. However, there is no assurance that this form of protection will be successful in any given case, particularly since the laws of the PRC do not protect proprietary rights as fully as in the United States. As of the date of this prospectus, Yulin KTA’s intellectual property rights have not been subject to any adverse claims for infringement upon third parties’ trademarks, licenses, and other intellectual property rights in China. Yulin KTA has not been involved in any litigation or other claims related to any third party’s intellectual property rights. The chart below presents information about some intellectual property that Yulin KTA has registered or applied for.

In addition, Shenzhen KTA has granted a permanent and royalty-free license to Yulin KTA to use certain of Shenzhen KTA’s intellectual property rights presented in the chart below, subject to the following restrictions: (i) the permitted uses are only for the research, development, manufacturing and sale of Yulin KTA’s products, (ii) such uses shall not damage Shenzhen KTA’s brand image or reputation, or compromise Shenzhen KTA’s interests in any regard, and (iii) such license may not be assigned or transferred by Yulin KTA to any third party without Shenzhen KTA’s prior consent, among other restrictions. Shenzhen KTA is a related party enterprise incorporated in China in which a substantial interest in the voting power is controlled by Mr. Bing Wang, our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors. We believe this license provides easier market access for Yulin KTA’s products and increases Yulin KTA’s ability to grow its business.

Seasonality

Yulin KTA’s business is not subject to seasonal fluctuations. Yulin KTA enters into business contracts with customers throughout the year.

Responses to COVID-19

From 2020 to 2022, the COVID-19 pandemic had some negative impacts on Yulin KTA’s business operations in China. During such period, many of Yulin KTA’s suppliers, customers, and business partners went out of business and domestic consumption slowed. Since Yulin KTA started mass production when the COVID-19 virus began to spread in the beginning of 2020, we do not have quantifiable data to show our financial performance prior to the COVID-19 pandemic or demonstrate the extent of the impact of the COVID-19 on Yulin KTA’s business. However, Yulin KTA did experience delays in collecting account receivables, a lack of market demand and difficulties in market expansion as a result of restricted public activities during the COVID-19 pandemic.

During the height of the COVID-19 pandemic in China from 2020 to 2022, Yulin KTA implemented measures to protect the employees’ safety, including ensuring strict compliance with the relevant government’s policy on containing COVID-19, controlling access to the manufacturing and warehousing facilities, and providing masks, thermometers and sanitizing products to the employees.

As of the date of this prospectus, the Chinese government has eased the COVID-19 restrictions. Despite Yulin KTA’s efforts to manage and remedy the impact of COVID-19, the ultimate impact also depends on factors beyond its control, including the duration and severity of any such pandemic, as well as third-party actions taken to contain its spread and mitigate its public health effects. These factors could adversely affect Yulin KTA’s business, and, in turn, our financial condition and results of operations. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — The Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic” and “Risk Factors — Risks Relating to Our Business and Industry — Yulin KTA must successfully manage the demand, supply and operational challenges associated with the effects of a disease outbreak, including epidemics, pandemics or similar widespread public health concerns.”

Material contracts

In the preceding two years from the date of this prospectus, Yulin KTA has entered into no material contracts, excluding the contracts entered into in the ordinary course of its business, other than as described in this prospectus.

Insurance

Yulin KTA maintains certain insurance policies to safeguard against risks and unexpected events. For example, Yulin KTA provides social security insurance, including pension insurance, medical insurance, unemployment insurance, work-related injury insurance, and maternity insurance for its employees in compliance with the applicable PRC laws. Yulin KTA maintains employer’s liability insurance for protection against costs related to lawsuits resulting from employees’ work-related injuries or illnesses and product quality insurance for protection against risks arising from

product quality assurance. Yulin KTA does not maintain business interruption insurance, which is not mandatory under the PRC laws. During the fiscal years ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, Yulin KTA did not make any material insurance claims in relation to its business.

Legal Proceeding

From time to time, Yulin KTA may become a party to various legal or administrative proceedings arising in the ordinary course of its business, including actions with respect to intellectual property infringement, breach of contract, and labor and employment claims. As of the date of this prospectus, Yulin KTA is not a party to any material lawsuits, and we are not aware of any threats of lawsuits against Yulin KTA that are anticipated to have a major impact on Yulin KTA’s business. Litigation or any other legal or administrative proceeding, regardless of the outcome, is likely to result in substantial cost and diversion of resources, including the management’s time and attention.

REGULATIONS

This section summarizes the principal PRC laws, rules and regulations relevant to the PRC subsidiaries’ operations. This summary does not purport to be a complete description of all laws and regulations, which apply to the PRC subsidiaries’ operations. Investors should note that the following summary is based on relevant laws and regulations in force as of the date of this prospectus, which may be subject to change.

Regulations on Foreign Investment

Foreign Investment

Investment activities in mainland China by foreign investors are principally governed by the Catalog of Industries for Encouraging Foreign Investment (2022 Edition), or the Catalog, as promulgated by the Ministry of Commerce of the People’s Republic of China (“MOFCOM”), and the National Development and Reform Commission (“NDRC”) on October 26, 2022, and the Special Administrative Measures for Access of Foreign Investment (2021 Edition), or the Negative List (2021), as promulgated on December 27, 2021. According to the Negative List (2021), our businesses operated in the PRC do not fall into the restricted or prohibited categories.

In addition, a foreign-invested enterprise in the PRC is required to comply with other regulations on its incorporation, operation and changes. On March 15, 2019, the National People’s Congress (“NPC”) adopted the Foreign Investment Law (the “FIL”), which became effective on January 1, 2020. Pursuant to the FIL, PRC will grant national treatment to foreign-invested entities, except for those foreign-invested entities that operate in industries that fall within “restricted” or “prohibited” categories as prescribed in the Negative List (2021) to be released or approved by the State Council.

On December 26, 2019, the State Council promulgated the Implementation Rules to the Foreign Investment Law, which became effective on January 1, 2020. The implementation rules further clarify that the state encourages and promotes foreign investment, protects the lawful rights and interests of foreign investors, regulates foreign investment administration, continues to optimize a foreign investment environment, and advances a higher-level opening. On December 30, 2019, the MOFCOM and the State Administration for Market Regulation (the “SAMR”) jointly promulgated the Measures for Information Reporting on Foreign Investment, which became effective on January 1, 2020. Pursuant to the Measures for Information Reporting on Foreign Investment, where a foreign investor carries out investment activities in mainland China, directly or indirectly, the foreign investor or the foreign-invested enterprise shall submit the investment information to the competent commerce department.

Offshore Parent Holding Companies’ Direct Investment in and Loans to Their PRC Subsidiaries

China has been open to foreign direct and indirect investments. An offshore company may invest in a PRC company. Such investment is subject to the FIL. Under the FIL, foreign investments no longer need to be approved by Chinese government, but only need to register the investment with Chinese regulatory agency.

However, the Chinese government still has foreign exchange control policy. The money transferred in or out of China is still under tight control. So, shareholder loans made by offshore parent holding companies to their PRC subsidiaries are regarded as foreign debts for regulatory purposes, which debts are subject to a number of PRC laws and regulations, including the PRC Foreign Exchange Administration Regulations, Administration Rules on the Settlement, Sale and Payment of Foreign Exchange, Administration of Foreign Debt Tentative Procedures, the Statistical Monitoring of Foreign Debt Tentative Provisions, the Detailed Rules for the Implementation of Provisional Regulations on Statistics and Supervision of External Debt and the Provisional Measures on Administration of Foreign Debt.

Pursuant to the Provisional Measures on Administration of Foreign Debt (the “Foreign Debt Measures”) which was issued by the State Development Planning Commission (revised), Ministry of Finance and the State Administration of Foreign Exchange (“SAFE”) in January 2003 and became effective on March 1, 2003, was amended on July 26, 2022 and which amendment became effective on September 1, 2022, any loans provided by us to the subsidiary in mainland China in foreign currencies shall be classified as foreign debt under the Foreign Debt Measures. According to the Foreign Debt Measures, the sum of cumulative accrued amounts of medium-term to long-term foreign loans and balance amounts of short-term foreign loans taken by a foreign investment enterprise shall be limited to the difference between the total project investment amount approved by the government and the amount of registered capital. Foreign investment enterprises may take foreign loans freely within the scope of difference.

Moreover, as the debtors of cross-border financing, the subsidiary in mainland China is also required to comply with certain registration formalities for execution of foreign debt contracts with the foreign exchange bureau at the locality within fifteen working days after signing the contracts according to the Notice of State Administration of Foreign Exchange on Promulgation of the Administrative Measures on Registration of Foreign Debt which was promulgated by the SAFE in April 2013 and revised in May 2015.

Pursuant to the Circular of the National Development and Reform Commission on Promoting the Administrative Reform of the Record-filing and Registration System for the Issuance of Foreign Debt by Enterprises promulgated on September 14, 2015 (“Circular 2044”), before the issuance of foreign loans, enterprises shall first apply to the NDRC for record-filing and registration procedures and shall report the information on the issuance to NDRC within 10 business days after completion of each issuance. The term “foreign loan” shall mean RMB-denominated or foreign currency-denominated debt instruments with a maturity of one year or more which are issued overseas by domestic enterprises and their controlled overseas enterprises or branches and for which the principal and interest are repaid as agreed, including bonds issued overseas and long and medium-term international commercial loans, and so forth. On January 5, 2023, the NDRC issued the Administrative Measures for Review and Registration of Medium- and Long-term Foreign Debt of Enterprises, or Foreign Debt Registration Measures, which came into effect on February 10, 2023, and Circular 2044 is, therefore invalid. The Foreign Debt Registration Measures not only further clarifies the scope of debt instruments, including senior debt, perpetual debt, capital debt, medium-term note, convertible bond, exchangeable bond, financial leasing, and commercial loan, but also changes the record-filing and registration system to the review and registration system. According to the Foreign Debt Registration Measures, before incurring foreign debt, an enterprise shall obtain the Certificate of Review and Registration of Enterprise Incurrence of Foreign Debt, or the Certificate of Review and Registration, and complete the review and registration formalities. Without review and registration, no foreign debt may be incurred. An enterprise shall, within ten working days after incurring each foreign debt, report the information of incurring foreign debt to the review and registration authority via the network system, including the main operating indicators of the enterprise and the information about the foreign debt incurred, among others, and report the corresponding information about the foreign debt incurred within ten working days after the expiration of Certificate of Review and Registration. The above provisions shall apply to indirect overseas incurrence of foreign debt by domestic enterprises, which means that enterprises whose main business activities are in China, issuing bonds or borrowing commercial loans overseas in the name of enterprises registered overseas, based on the equity, assets, earnings or other similar rights and interests of the domestic enterprises, are subject to these provisions. However, the NDRC has not issued any other further explanation for the implementation of the Foreign Debt Registration Measures. In the practice, the NDRC’s attitude on whether foreign-invested enterprises with foreign loans with a term of more than one year need to register is still not completely unified, and it is generally determined on a case-by-case basis.

M&A Rules and Overseas Listings

On August 8, 2006, six PRC regulatory agencies, Ministry of Commerce, the State Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, the State Administration for Taxation (the “SAT”), the State Administration for Industry and Commerce, CSRC and SAFE, jointly adopted the Regulation on Mergers and Acquisitions of Domestic Enterprises by Foreign Investors, or so called the M&A Rules and amended it on June 22, 2009. The M&A Rules purport, among other things, to require that offshore SPVs that are controlled by PRC entities or individuals and that have been formed for overseas listing purposes through acquisitions of PRC domestic interests held by such PRC entities or individuals, obtain the approval of the CSRC prior to publicly listing their securities on an overseas stock exchange. After the FIL and its implementation regulations became effective on January 1, 2020, the provisions of the M&A Rules remain effective to the extent they are not inconsistent with the FIL and its implementation regulations.

Furthermore, on July 6, 2021, the General Office of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the General Office of the State Council jointly promulgated the Opinions on Strictly Cracking Down on Illegal Securities Activities in Accordance with the Law, pursuant to which Chinese regulators are required to accelerate rulemaking related to the overseas issuance and listing of securities, and update the existing laws and regulations related to data security, cross-border data flow, and management of confidential information.

On February 17, 2023, the CSRC issued the New Administrative Rules Regarding Overseas Listings, which came into force on March 31, 2023. The New Administrative Rules Regarding Overseas Listings refine the regulatory system for domestic company’s overseas offering and listing by subjecting both direct and indirect overseas offering and listing activities to the filing-based administration, and clearly defines the circumstances where provisions for direct and indirect overseas offering and listing apply and the relevant regulatory requirements.

According to the New Administrative Rules Regarding Overseas Listings, among other things, a domestic company in the PRC that seeks to offer and list securities on overseas markets shall fulfill the filing procedure with the CSRC as per requirement of the Trial Administrative Measures. Where a domestic company seeks to directly offer and list securities on overseas markets, the issuer shall file with the CSRC. Where a domestic company seeks to indirectly offer and list securities on overseas markets, the issuer shall designate a major domestic operating entity, which shall, as the domestic responsible entity, file with the CSRC. Initial public offerings or listings on overseas markets shall be filed with the CSRC within three working days after the relevant application is submitted overseas. The required filing materials with the CSRC include (without limitation): (i) record-filing reports and related undertakings; (ii) compliance certificates, filing or approval documents from the primary regulators of applicants’ businesses (if applicable); (iii) security assessment opinions issued by related departments (if applicable); (iv) PRC legal opinions issued by domestic law firms (with related undertakings); and (v) prospectus or listing documents. If an issuer offers securities on the same overseas market where it has previously offered and listed securities subsequently, filings shall be made with the CSRC within three working days after the offering is completed. Upon occurrence of any material event, such as change of control, investigations or sanctions imposed by overseas securities regulatory agencies or other relevant competent authorities, change of listing status or transfer of listing segment, or voluntary or mandatory delisting, after an issuer has offered and listed securities on an overseas market, the issuer shall submit a report thereof to CSRC within three working days after the occurrence and public disclosure of such event.

Under the New Administrative Rules Regarding Overseas Listings, a domestic company is prohibited from overseas offering and listing if any of the following circumstances is involved: (1) where such securities offering and listing is explicitly prohibited by provisions in laws, administrative regulations and relevant state rules; (2) where the intended securities offering and listing may endanger national security as reviewed and determined by competent authorities under the State Council in accordance with laws; (3) where the domestic company intending to make the securities offering and listing, or its controlling shareholders and the actual controller, have committed crimes such as corruption, bribery, embezzlement, misappropriation of property or undermining the order of the socialist market economy during the latest three years; (4) where the domestic company intending to make the securities offering and listing is suspected of committing crimes or major violations of laws and regulations, and is under investigation according to law, and no conclusion has yet been made thereof; and (5) where there are material ownership disputes over equity held by the domestic company’s controlling shareholder or by other shareholders that are controlled by the controlling shareholder and/or actual controller. Moreover, a domestic company that seeks to offer and list securities on overseas markets shall abide by certain other regulatory requirements as set out in the New Administrative Rules Regarding Overseas Listings, including, without limitation to, compliance with laws of national secrecy, foreign investment, cybersecurity, data security, cross-border investment and financing, foreign exchange, and other laws and relevant provisions.

The Trial Administrative Measures also provides that if the issuer both meets the following criteria, the overseas securities offering and listing conducted by such issuer will be deemed as indirect overseas offering by PRC domestic companies: (i) 50% or more of any of the issuer’s operating revenue, total profit, total assets or net assets as documented in its audited consolidated financial statements for the most recent fiscal year is accounted for by domestic companies; and (ii) the main parts of the issuer’s business activities are conducted in mainland China, or its main place(s) of business are located in mainland China, or the majority of senior management staff in charge of its business operations and management are PRC citizens or have their usual place(s) of residence located in mainland China. Where an issuer submits an application for initial public offering to competent overseas regulators, such issuer must file with the CSRC within three working days after such application is submitted. The Overseas Listing Trial Measures also requires subsequent reports to be filed with the CSRC on material events, such as change of control or voluntary or forced delisting of the issuer(s) who have completed overseas offerings and listings.

Pursuant to the New Administrative Rules Regarding Overseas Listings, the CSRC will conclude the filing procedure and publish the filing results on the CSRC website within 20 working days after receiving the filing documents if the filing documents are complete and in compliance with stipulated requirements. However, during the filing process, the CSRC may request the Company to supply additional documents or may consult with competent authorities, the time

for which will not be counted in the 20 working days. We are required to complete the filing procedure within three working days after the relevant application is submitted overseas, pursuant to the New Administrative Rules Regarding Overseas Listings. As of the date of this prospectus, we have not submitted the filing materials to the CSRC.

According to the Trial Administrative Measures, if a domestic company fails to fulfill filing procedure, or offers and lists securities on an overseas market in violation of the measures, the CSRC shall order rectification, issue warnings to such domestic company, and impose a fine of between RMB1,000,000 and RMB10,000,000. Directly liable persons-in-charge and other directly liable persons shall be warned and each imposed a fine of between RMB500,000 and RMB5,000,000. Controlling shareholders and actual controllers of the domestic company that organize or instruct the aforementioned violations shall be imposed a fine of between RMB1,000,000 and RMB10,000,000.

On February 24, 2023, the CSRC promulgated the Provisions on Strengthening Confidentiality and Archives Administration of Overseas Securities Offering and Listing by Domestic Companies (the “Confidentiality and Archives Administration Provisions”), which also became effective on March 31, 2023. According to the Confidentiality and Archives Administration Provisions, domestic companies that seek overseas offering and listing (either in direct or indirect means) and the securities companies and securities service (either incorporated domestically or overseas) providers that undertake relevant businesses shall institute a sound confidentiality and archives administration system, and take necessary measures to fulfill confidentiality and archives administration obligations. They shall not leak any state secret or working secret of government agencies, or harm national security and public interests. Therefore, a domestic company that plans to, either directly or through its overseas listed entity, publicly disclose or provide to relevant individuals or entities including securities companies, securities service providers and overseas regulators, any documents and materials that contain state secrets or working secrets of government agencies, shall first obtain approval from competent authorities according to laws, and file with the secrecy administrative department at the same level. The above-mentioned documents and materials that, if leaked, will be detrimental to national security or public interest, therefore, the domestic company shall strictly fulfill relevant procedures stipulated by applicable regulations.

Furthermore, the Confidentiality and Archives Administration Provisions stipulates that a domestic company that provides accounting archives or copies of accounting archives to any entities, including securities companies, securities service providers and overseas regulators and individuals, shall fulfill due procedures in compliance with applicable regulations. Working papers produced in mainland China by securities companies and securities service providers in the process of undertaking businesses related to overseas offering and listing by domestic companies shall be retained in mainland China. Where such documents need to be transferred or transmitted to areas outside of mainland China, relevant approval procedures stipulated by regulations shall be followed.

As there are still uncertainties regarding the interpretation and implementation of such regulatory guidance, we cannot assure you that we or the PRC subsidiaries will be able to comply with new regulatory requirements relating to our future overseas capital-raising activities and we or the PRC subsidiaries may become subject to more stringent requirements with respect to matters including CSRC approval requirements, data privacy and cross-border investigation and enforcement of legal claims.

The CSRC currently has not issued any definitive rule or interpretation concerning whether offerings such as our offering are subject to the CSRC approval procedures; and despite the lack of any definitive rule or interpretation from CSRC, the main purpose of the M&A rule is for national security and national industrial policy and so far none of the Chinese companies that have completed their public listing in the U.S. have obtained such approval; and the PRC subsidiaries’ business operations in China do not belong to a prohibited industry by foreign investment.

However, there is still uncertainty as to how the M&A Rules and the New Administrative Rules Regarding Overseas Listings will be interpreted and implemented. If the CSRC or other PRC regulatory agencies subsequently determine that CSRC approval is required for this offering, we or the PRC subsidiaries may need to apply for remedial approval from the CSRC and we or the PRC subsidiaries may be subject to penalties and administrative sanctions administered by these regulatory agencies. These regulatory agencies may impose fines and penalties on the PRC subsidiaries’ operations in the PRC, limit the PRC subsidiaries’ operating privileges in the PRC, delay or restrict the repatriation of the proceeds from this offering into the PRC, or take other actions that could materially adversely affect the PRC subsidiaries’ and our business, financial condition, results of operations, reputation and prospects, as well as the trading price of our Ordinary Shares. The CSRC or other PRC regulatory agencies may also take actions requiring us, or making it advisable for us, to halt this offering before settlement and delivery of our Ordinary Shares.

Regulations on Foreign Exchange

General Administration of Foreign Exchange

In 1996, China published The Foreign Currency Administration Regulations, and late on amended on January 14, 1997 and August 5, 2008. This Regulation has been the major one governing the foreign exchange activities in China. Under this Regulation, the Renminbi is convertible for foreign currency account items, including the distribution of dividends, interest payments and trade and service-related foreign exchange transactions. Conversion of Renminbi into foreign currency for capital account items, such as, loans, investment in securities and repatriation of investments, however, is subject to the registration of the SAFE or its local counterparts.

Under the Regulation and relevant rules, foreign-invested enterprises may buy, sell and remit foreign currencies at banks authorized to conduct foreign exchange transactions for settlement of currency account transactions after providing valid commercial documents and, in the case of capital account item transactions, only after registration with the SAFE and, as the case may be, other relevant PRC government authorities as required by law.

According to the Overseas Investment Regulation which was issued in 2014, capital investments directed outside of mainland China by domestic or foreign-invested enterprises are also subject to restrictions, which include registration filing with Ministry of Commerce, even though the Notice on Further Improving and Adjusting the Foreign Exchange Management Policy for Capital Account (“No. 2 Notice”) passed in February of 2014 by SAFE has made domestic enterprises much easier releasing foreign currency overseas to foreign companies, including connected companies.

The conversion of Renminbi into foreign currencies, including U.S. dollars, has been based on rates set by the People’s Bank of China. On July 21, 2005, the PRC government changed its policy of pegging the value of the Renminbi to the U.S. dollar. Under the new policy, the Renminbi will be permitted to fluctuate within a band against a basket of certain foreign currencies. The PRC subsidiaries receive a significant portion of their revenue in Renminbi, which is not a freely convertible currency. Under the current structure, our income will be primarily derived from dividend payments from our subsidiaries in China. Even though the PRC subsidiaries may remit the income from China to anywhere deemed desirable, the fluctuation of exchange rate may be a disadvantage to us if Renminbi depreciates.

On January 26, 2017, the SAFE promulgated the Notice on Improving the Check of Authenticity and Compliance to Further Promote Foreign Exchange Control (the “SAFE Circular 3”), which stipulates several capital control measures with respect to the outbound remittance of profit from domestic entities to offshore entities, including (i) under the principle of genuine transaction, banks shall check board resolutions regarding profit distribution, the original version of tax filing records and audited financial statements; and (ii) domestic entities shall hold income to account for previous years’ losses before remitting the profits. Moreover, pursuant to the SAFE Circular 3, domestic entities shall make detailed explanations of the sources of capital and utilization arrangements, and provide board resolutions, contracts and other proof when completing the registration procedures in connection with an outbound investment.

Table of Contents

On October 23, 2019, the SAFE promulgated the Circular of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange on Further Promoting Cross-border Trade and Investment Facilitation (the “SAFE Circular 28”), which expressly allows foreign-invested enterprises that do not have equity investments in their approved business scope to use their capital obtained from foreign exchange settlement to make domestic equity investments as long as there is a truthful investment and such investment is in compliance with the foreign investment-related laws and regulations.

Foreign Exchange Registration of Offshore Investment by PRC Residents

In October of 2005, SAFE promulgated a Notification known as “Notification 75,” in which SAFE requires PRC residents to register their direct establishment or indirect control of an offshore entity (referred to in Notification as “special purpose vehicle.”), where such offshore entity was established for the purpose of overseas financing, provided that PRC residents contribute their legally owned assets or equity into such entity. In July of 2014, this Notification was replaced by Notification 37, “Notification on Relevant Issues Concerning Foreign Exchange Control on Domestic Residents’ Offshore Investment and Financing and Returning Investment through Special Purpose Vehicles,” which expanded SAFE oversight scope to include overseas investment registration as well. Meanwhile, Notification 37 also covers more areas such as PRC residents paying capital contribution with overseas assets or equity. Furthermore, Notification 37 requires amendment to the registration where any significant changes with respect to the special purpose vehicle capitalization or structure of the PRC resident itself (such as capital increase, capital reduction, share transfer or exchange, merger or spin off). On February 13, 2015, the SAFE promulgated a Notice on Further Simplifying and Improving Foreign Exchange Administration Policy on Direct Investment, or Notice 13, which became effective on June 1, 2015 and was amended on December 30, 2019. Under Notice 13, applications for foreign exchange registration of inbound foreign direct investments and outbound overseas direct investments, including those required under Notification 37, will be filed with qualified banks instead of SAFE. The qualified banks will directly examine the applications and accept registrations under the supervision of SAFE.

Dividend Distributions

Kingtitan Technology (Luchuan) Co., Ltd. (“KTA WFOE”), is a wholly foreign-owned enterprise under the PRC law. The principal regulations governing the distribution of dividends paid by KTA WFOE include Corporate Law (1993) as last amended in 2018, the Foreign Investment Law and its Implementing Regulations, and the Enterprise Income Tax Law (2007) as last amended in 2018 and its Implementation Regulations (2007) as last amended in 2019.

Under these requirements, foreign-invested enterprises may pay dividends only out of their accumulated profit, if any, as determined in accordance with PRC accounting standards and regulations. A PRC company is required to allocate at least 10% of their respective accumulated after-tax profits each year, if any, to fund certain capital reserve funds until the aggregate amount of these reserve funds have reached 50% of the registered capital of the enterprises. A PRC company is not permitted to distribute any profits until any losses from prior fiscal years have been offset. Profits retained from prior fiscal years may be distributed together with distributable profits from the current fiscal year.

On March 16, 2007, the NPC enacted the Enterprise Income Tax Law, and on December 6, 2007, the State Council issued the Implementation Regulations on the Enterprise Income Tax Law, both of which became effective on January 1, 2008. The Enterprise Income Tax Law was lately amended on December 29, 2018 and the Implementation Regulations on the Enterprise Income Tax Law was lately amended on April 23, 2019. Under this law and its implementation regulations, dividends payable by a foreign-invested enterprise in the PRC to its foreign investor who is a non-resident enterprise will be subject to a 10% (5% for Hong Kong residents) withholding tax, unless any such foreign investor’s jurisdiction of incorporation has a tax treaty with the PRC that provides for a lower withholding tax rate.

Regulations on Taxation

Enterprise income tax

According to the EIT Law, which was promulgated by the SCNPC on March 16, 2007 and last amended and effective on December 29, 2018, and the Enterprise Income Tax Implementation Regulations of the PRC (the “EITIR”), which was promulgated by the State Council on December 6, 2007 and last amended and effective on April 23, 2019, the enterprise income tax of both domestic and foreign-invested enterprises is unified at 25% with certain exceptions. According to the EIT Law, enterprises are classified as “resident enterprises” and “non-resident enterprises.” Pursuant to the EIT Law and the EITIR, PRC resident enterprises typically pay an enterprise income tax at the rate of 25%, while non-PRC resident enterprises without any branches in the PRC should pay an enterprise income tax in connection with their income from the PRC at the tax rate of 10%. Enterprises established under the laws of foreign countries or regions whose “de facto management bodies” (i.e., establishments that carry out substantial and overall management and control over production and operations, personnel, accounting and properties) are located in the PRC are considered as PRC tax resident enterprises, and will generally be subject to enterprise income tax at the rate of 25% of their global income.

According to the EIT Law, corporate income tax for key advanced and new technology enterprises supported by the State shall be at a reduced tax rate of 15%. Yulin KTA was accredited as a high-tech enterprise on December 23, 2021 and the qualifications shall be valid until December 23, 2024.

According to our PRC legal counsel, AllBright, as of the date of this prospectus, the applicable EIT rate of Yulin KTA is 15%.

Value-added tax

According to Provisional Regulations on Value-added Tax of the PRC, which was promulgated by the State Council on December 13, 1993 and last amended on November 19, 2017, and the Implementing Rules for the Interim Regulations on Value-added Tax of the PRC, which was promulgated by Ministry of Finance on December 25, 1993 and last amended on November 1, 2011, all enterprises and individuals that engage in the sale of goods, the provision of processing, repair and replacement services, the sale of services, intangible assets or immovable properties and the importation of goods within the territory of the PRC must pay value-added tax.

Dividend Withholding tax

According to the EIT Law and the EITIR, dividends paid by foreign-invested companies to their foreign investors that are non-resident enterprises as defined under the law are subject to withholding tax at a rate of 10%, unless otherwise provided in the relevant tax agreements entered into with the central government of the PRC. Pursuant to the Arrangement Between the Mainland of China and the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region for the Avoidance of Double Taxation on Income (the “Double Tax Avoidance Arrangement”) promulgated on August 21, 2006, if a Hong Kong resident enterprise is determined by the competent PRC tax authority to have satisfied the relevant conditions and requirements under such Double Tax Avoidance Arrangement, the withholding tax rate on the dividends the Hong Kong resident enterprise receives from a PRC resident enterprise may be reduced to 5% from 10% applicable under the EIT Law and the EITIR. However, based on the Notice of the State Taxation Administration on Certain Issues with Respect to the Enforcement of Dividend Provisions in Tax Treaties promulgated and implemented on February 20, 2009 by the SAT, if the relevant PRC tax authorities determine, in their discretion, that a company benefits from such reduced income tax rate due to a structure or arrangement that is primarily tax-driven, such PRC tax authorities may adjust the preferential tax treatment. Based on the Notice of the State Taxation Administration on the Recognition of Beneficial Owners in Tax Treaties, which was promulgated by STA on February 3, 2018 and came into effect on April 1, 2018, a comprehensive analysis will be used to determine beneficial ownership based on the actual situation of a specific case combined with certain principles, and if an applicant was obliged to pay more than 50% of its income to a third country (region) resident within 12 months of the receipt of the income, or the business activities undertaken by an applicant did not constitute substantive business activities including substantive manufacturing, distribution, management and other activities, the applicant was unlikely to be recognized as a beneficial owner to enjoy tax treaty benefits.

Tax on Indirect Transfer

On February 3, 2015, the SAT issued the Circular on Issues of Enterprise Income Tax on Indirect Transfers of Assets by Non-PRC Resident Enterprises, or Circular 7. Pursuant to Circular 7, an “indirect transfer” of assets, including equity interests in a PRC resident enterprise, by non-PRC resident enterprises, may be recharacterized and treated as a direct transfer of PRC taxable assets, if such arrangement does not have a reasonable commercial purpose and was established for the purpose of avoiding payment of PRC enterprise income tax. As a result, gains derived from such indirect transfer may be subject to PRC enterprise income tax. When determining whether there is a “reasonable commercial purpose” of the transaction arrangement, features to be taken into consideration include, inter alia, whether the main value of the equity interest of the relevant offshore enterprise derives directly or indirectly from PRC taxable assets; whether the assets of the relevant offshore enterprise mainly consists of direct or indirect investment in China or if its income is mainly derived from China; and whether the offshore enterprise and its subsidiaries directly or indirectly holding PRC taxable assets have real commercial nature which is evidenced by their actual function and risk exposure. According to Circular 7, where the payor fails to withhold any or sufficient tax, the transferor shall declare and pay such tax to the tax authority by itself within the statutory time limit. Late payment of applicable tax will subject the transferor to default interest. Circular 7 does not apply to transactions of sale of shares by investors through a public stock exchange where such shares were acquired on a public stock exchange. On October 17, 2017, the SAT issued the Circular on Issues of Tax Withholding regarding Non-PRC Resident Enterprise Income Tax, or SAT Circular 37, which further elaborates the relevant implemental rules regarding the calculation, reporting and payment obligations of the withholding tax by the non-resident enterprises.

The Trademark Office of National Intellectual Property Administration, or the Trademark Office, handles trademark registrations. The Trademark Office grants a 10-year term to registered trademarks and the term may be renewed for another 10-year period upon request by the trademark owner. A trademark registrant may license its registered trademarks to another party by entering into trademark license agreements, which must be filed with the Trademark Office for its record. The Trademark Law has adopted a “first-to-file” principle with respect to trademark registration. If a trademark applied for is identical or similar to another trademark which has already been registered or subject to a preliminary examination and approval for use on the same or similar kinds of products or services, such trademark application may be rejected. Any person applying for the registration of a trademark may not injure existing trademark rights first obtained by others, nor may any person register in advance a trademark that has already been used by another party and has already gained a “sufficient degree of reputation” through such party’s use.

As of the date of this prospectus, Shenzhen KTA has granted a permanent and royalty-free license to Yulin KTA to use the 16 trademarks owned by Shenzhen KTA.

DESCRIPTION OF SHARE CAPITAL

The following description of our share capital and provisions of our memorandum and articles of association are summaries and are qualified by reference to the memorandum and articles of association. Copies of these documents have been filed with the SEC as exhibits to our registration statement, of which this prospectus forms a part.

We were incorporated as an exempted company with limited liability under the Cayman Companies Act. A Cayman Islands exempted company:

        is a company that conducts its business mainly outside the Cayman Islands;

        is prohibited from trading in the Cayman Islands with any person, firm or corporation except in furtherance of the business of the exempted company carried on outside the Cayman Islands (and for this purpose can effect and conclude contracts in the Cayman Islands and exercise in the Cayman Islands all of its powers necessary for the carrying on of its business outside the Cayman Islands);

        does not have to hold an annual general meeting;

        does not have to make its register of members open to inspection by shareholders of that company;

        may obtain an undertaking against the imposition of any future taxation;

        may register by way of continuation in another jurisdiction and be deregistered in the Cayman Islands;

        may register as a limited duration company; and

        may register as a segregated portfolio company.

Ordinary Shares

As of the date of this prospectus, our Company’s authorized share capital is $50,000 divided into 400,000,000 Class A Ordinary Shares, par value $0.0001 per share, and 100,000,000 Class B Ordinary Shares par value $0.0001 per share. Holders of Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares have the same rights except for voting and conversion rights. In respect of matters requiring a vote of all shareholders, each holder of Class A Ordinary Shares will be entitled to one vote per one Class A Ordinary Share and each holder of Class B Ordinary Shares will be entitled to thirty votes per one Class B Ordinary Share. The Class A Ordinary Shares are not convertible into Class B Ordinary Shares under any circumstances. The Class B Ordinary Shares are convertible into Class A Ordinary Shares at any time after issuance at the option of the holder on a one-to-one basis. Subject to our Articles of Association, upon any transfer or disposition of Class B Ordinary Shares by a holder thereof to any person or entity which is not an affiliate of such holder, such Class B Ordinary Shares validly transferred to the new holder shall be automatically and immediately converted into such number of Class A Ordinary Shares on a one-to-one basis.

All of our issued and outstanding Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares are fully paid and non-assessable. Our Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares are issued in registered form, and are issued when registered in our register of members. Unless the board of directors determine otherwise, each holder of our Class A Ordinary Shares or Class B Ordinary Shares will not receive a certificate in respect of such shares. Our shareholders who are non-residents of the Cayman Islands may freely hold and vote their Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares. We may not issue shares or warrants to bearer.

Subject to the provisions of the Cayman Companies Act and our articles of association regarding redemption and purchase of the shares, the directors have general and unconditional authority to allot (with or without confirming rights of renunciation), grant options over or otherwise deal with any unissued shares to such persons, at such times and on such terms and conditions as they may decide, provided no Class B Ordinary Shares shall be issued without the prior consent of the holders of a majority of the votes of the outstanding Class B Ordinary Shares (which consent may be obtained either by written consent signed by the holders of a majority of the votes of the outstanding Class B Ordinary Shares or by a vote at a separate general meeting of the holders of the Class B Ordinary Shares). Such authority could be exercised by the directors to allot shares which carry rights and privileges that are preferential to the rights attaching to Class A Ordinary Shares or Class B Ordinary Shares. No share may be issued at a discount except in accordance with the provisions of the Cayman Companies Act.

111

Subject to the provisions of the Cayman Companies Act and any rights attaching to any class or classes of shares under and in accordance with the articles:

(a)     the directors may declare dividends or distributions out of our funds which are lawfully available for that purpose; and

(b)    our shareholders may, by ordinary resolution, declare final dividends but no such dividend shall exceed the amount recommended by the directors.

Subject to the requirements of the Cayman Companies Act regarding the application of a company’s share premium account and with the sanction of an ordinary resolution, dividends may also be declared and paid out of any share premium account. The directors when paying dividends to shareholders may make such payment either in cash or in specie.

Unless provided by the rights attached to a share, no dividend shall bear interest.

Voting Rights

On a poll, every shareholder who is present in person and every person representing a shareholder by proxy shall have one vote for each Class A Ordinary Share and thirty votes for each Class B Ordinary Share of which he or the person represented by proxy is the holder. In addition, all shareholders holding shares of a particular class are entitled to vote at a meeting of the holders of that class of shares. Votes may be given either personally or by proxy.

Conversion Rights

Class A Ordinary Shares are not convertible. Class B Ordinary Shares are convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, into Class A Ordinary Shares on a one-to-one basis. Subject to our Articles of Association, upon any transfer or disposition of Class B Ordinary Shares by a holder thereof to any person or entity which is not an affiliate of such holder, such Class B Ordinary Shares validly transferred to the new holder shall be automatically and immediately converted into such number of Class A Ordinary Shares on a one-to-one basis.

Variation of Rights of Shares

Whenever our capital is divided into different classes of shares, the rights attaching to any class of share (unless otherwise provided by the terms of issue of the shares of that class) may be varied or abrogated either with the consent in writing of the holders of two-thirds of the issued shares of that class, or with the sanction of a special resolution passed by at least a two-thirds majority of the holders of shares of the class present in person or by proxy at a separate general meeting of the holders of shares of that class.

112

Table of Contents

Unless the terms on which a class of shares was issued state otherwise, the rights conferred on the shareholder holding shares of any class shall not be deemed to be varied by the creation or issue of further shares ranking pari passu therewith or by the redemption or purchase of shares of any class by our Company.

Alteration of Share Capital

Subject to the Cayman Companies Act, our shareholders may, by ordinary resolution:

(a)     increase our authorized share capital;

(b)    consolidate and divide all or any of our share capital into shares of larger amount than our existing shares;

(c)     convert all or any of our paid-up shares into stock, and reconvert that stock into paid up shares of any denomination;

(d)    sub-divide our existing shares or any of them into shares of a smaller amount provided that in the subdivision the proportion between the amount paid and the amount, if any, unpaid on each reduced share shall be the same as it was in case of the share from which the reduced share is derived; and

(e)     cancel any shares which, at the date of the passing of that ordinary resolution, have not been taken or agreed to be taken by any person and diminish the amount of our share capital by the amount of the shares so cancelled.

Subject to the Cayman Companies Act and to any rights for the time being conferred on the shareholders holding a particular class of shares, our shareholders may, by special resolution, reduce its share capital and any capital redemption reserve in any manner, authorized and consent required by the Cayman Companies Act.

Calls on Shares

Subject to the terms of allotment, the directors may make calls on the shareholders in respect of any monies unpaid on their shares (whether on account of the nominal value of the shares or by way of premium or otherwise), and each shareholder shall (subject to receiving at least 14 clear days’ notice in writing specifying the time or times and place of payment), pay to us the amount called on his shares. Shareholders registered as the joint holders of a share shall be jointly and severally liable to pay all calls in respect of the share. If a call remains unpaid before or on the day appointed for the payment thereof, the person from whom the sum is due and payable shall pay interest on the sum from the day appointed for payment thereof to the time of the actual payment at such rate not exceeding ten percent per annum as our directors may determine. The directors may be at liberty, waive payment of the interest wholly or in part.

Lien

We have a first and paramount lien on all shares (whether fully paid up or not) registered in the name of a shareholder (whether solely or jointly with others). The lien is for all monies payable to the Company by the shareholder or the shareholder’s estate: (a) either alone or jointly with any other person, whether or not that other person is a shareholder; and (b) whether or not those monies are presently payable. Our Directors may at any time declare any share to be wholly or in part exempt from the provisions of our articles of association. Our Company’s lien, if any, on a share shall extend to all dividends and other moneys payable in respect thereon.

We may sell, in such manner as the directors may determine, any share on which our Company has a lien, but no sale shall be made unless some sum in respect of which the lien exists is presently payable, nor until the expiration of 14 clear days after a notice in writing, stating and demanding payment of such part of the amount in respect of which the lien exists as is presently payable, has been given to the registered holders for the time being of the share or the persons entitled thereto of which our Company has notice, by reason of his death or bankruptcy, winding up or otherwise by operation of Cayman Companies Act or court order.

Table of Contents

Forfeiture or Surrender of Shares

If a shareholder fails to pay any call or instalment of a call with any interest on the day appointed for payment thereof, the directors may, at any time thereafter during such time as any part of such call or instalment remains unpaid, serve such shareholder not less than 14 clear days’ notice requiring payment of so much of the call or installment as is unpaid and specifying the amount unpaid including any interest and expenses accrued by the reason of such non-payment. The notice shall also contain a warning that in the event of non-payment at or before the time appointed the shares in respect of which the call is made will be liable to be forfeited.

If such notice is not complied with, the directors may, before the payment required by the notice has been received, resolve that any share in respect of which the notice has been given be forfeited and such forfeiture shall extend to all dividends declared in respect of the share so forfeited but not actually paid before such forfeiture.

A forfeited share may be sold, re-allotted or otherwise disposed of on such terms and in such manner as the directors in their absolute discretion think fit, and at any time before a sale, cancellation or disposition the forfeiture may be cancelled on such terms as the directors in their absolute discretion think fit.

A person whose shares have been forfeited shall cease to be a shareholder in respect of the forfeited shares, but shall, notwithstanding such forfeiture, remain liable to pay to us all monies which at the date of forfeiture were payable by him to us in respect of the shares, but his liability shall cease if and when we receive payment in full of the unpaid amount.

A declaration in writing that the declarant is a director of our Company, and that a share in our Company has been duly forfeited or surrendered or sold to satisfy a lien of the Company on a date stated in the declaration, shall be conclusive evidence of the facts therein stated as against all persons claiming to be entitled to the share.

Share Premium Account

The directors shall establish a share premium account and shall carry the credit of such account from time to time to a sum equal to the amount or value of the premium paid on the issue of any share.

Redemption and Purchase of Own Shares

Subject to the Cayman Companies Act and any rights for the time being conferred on the shareholders holding a particular class of shares, we may by action of our directors:

(a)     issue shares that are to be redeemed or liable to be redeemed, at our option, on the terms and in the manner our directors determine before the issue of those shares;

(b)    with the consent by a special resolution of the shareholders holding shares of a particular class, vary the rights attaching to that class of shares so as to provide that those shares are to be redeemed or are liable to be redeemed at the option of the Company on the terms and in the manner which the directors determine at the time of such variation; and

(c)     purchase all or any of our own shares of any class including any redeemable shares on the terms and in the manner which the directors determine and agree with the shareholders.

The Company may make a payment in respect of the redemption or purchase of its own shares in any manner authorised by the Act, including out of any combination of the following: capital, its profits and the proceeds of a fresh issue of shares. When making a payment in respect of the redemption or purchase of shares, the directors may make the payment in cash or in specie if so authorized by the terms of the issue of the shares being redeemed or purchased or with the agreement of the holder of such shares.

Transfer of Shares

Provided that a transfer of Class A Ordinary Shares complies with applicable Nasdaq rules, a shareholder may transfer Class A Ordinary Shares or Class B Ordinary Shares to another person by completing an instrument of transfer in a common form or, with respect to Class A Ordinary Shares, in a form prescribed by Nasdaq, or in any other form approved by the directors, executed:

(a)     where the Class A Ordinary Shares or Class B Ordinary Shares are fully paid, by or on behalf of that shareholder; and

(b)    where the Class A Ordinary Shares or Class B Ordinary Shares are nil or partly paid, by or on behalf of that shareholder and the transferee.

The transferor shall be deemed to remain the holder of a Class A Ordinary Share or Class B Ordinary Share until the name of the transferee is entered into the register of members of the Company.

Where the Class A Ordinary Shares or Class B Ordinary Shares in question are not listed on or subject to the Nasdaq rules, our board of directors may, in its absolute discretion, decline to register any transfer of any Class A Ordinary Share or Class B Ordinary Share that has not been fully paid up or is subject to a company lien. Our board of directors may also decline to register any transfer of such Class A Ordinary Share or Class B Ordinary Share unless:

(a)     the instrument of transfer is lodged with the Company, accompanied by the certificate for the Class A Ordinary Shares or Class B Ordinary Shares to which it relates and such other evidence as our board of directors may reasonably require to show the right of the transferor to make the transfer;

(b)    the instrument of transfer is in respect of only one class of shares;

(c)     the instrument of transfer is properly stamped, if required;

(d)    the Class A Ordinary Share or Class B Ordinary Share transferred is fully paid and free of any lien in favor of us;

(e)     any fee related to the transfer has been paid to us; and

(f)     the transfer is not to more than four joint holders.

If our directors refuse to register a transfer, they are required, within three months after the date on which the instrument of transfer was lodged, to send to each of the transferor and the transferee notice of such refusal.

The registration of transfers may, on 14 calendar days’ notice being given by advertisement in such one or more newspapers or by electronic means, be suspended and our register of members closed at such times and for such periods as our board of directors may from time to time determine. The registration of transfers, however, may not be suspended, and the register may not be closed, for more than 30 days in any year.

Inspection of Books and Records

Holders of our Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares will have no general right under the Cayman Companies Act to inspect or obtain copies of our register of members or our corporate records, except as conferred by the Companies Act or as authorized by the directors or by an ordinary resolution of our shareholders.

General Meetings

As a Cayman Islands exempted company, we are not obligated by the Cayman Companies Act to call shareholders’ annual general meetings; accordingly, we may, but shall not be obliged to, in each year hold a general meeting as an annual general meeting.

The directors may convene general meetings whenever they consider necessary or desirable. General meetings shall also be convened on the written requisition of one or more of the shareholders entitled to attend and vote at our general meetings who (together) hold not less than ten percent of the rights to vote at such general meeting, deposited at the registered office of the Company. If the directors do not convene such general meeting within 21 clear days from the

115

Table of Contents

date of receipt of a requisition, the requisitioners or any of them may call a general meeting within three months after the end of that period, in which case all reasonable expenses incurred by them as a result of the directors failing to convene a meeting shall be reimbursed by us.

At least 21 clear days’ notice of an annual general meeting must be given to shareholders. For any other general meeting, at least 14 clear days’ notice must be given to shareholders. The notice shall specify the place, the day and the hour of the meeting and the general nature of the business to be transacted.

Subject to the Cayman Companies Act, a meeting may be convened on shorter notice, with the consent of the shareholders who, individually or collectively, hold at least ninety percent of the voting rights of all those who have a right to vote at that meeting.

A quorum shall consist of the presence (whether in person or represented by proxy) of one or more shareholders holding shares that represent not less than one-third of the outstanding shares carrying the right to vote at such general meeting.

If, within 15minutes from the time appointed for the general meeting, a quorum is not present, the meeting, if convened upon the requisition of shareholders, shall be dissolved. In any other case it shall stand adjourned to the same day in the next week at the same time and place or to such other days and at such other time or place as is determined by the directors.

The chairman may, with the consent of a meeting at which a quorum is present, adjourn the meeting from time to time and from place to place, but no business shall be transacted at any adjourned meeting other than the business left unfinished at the meeting from which the adjournment took place. When a meeting is adjourned for 7 clear days or more, shareholders shall be given at least 7 clear days’ notice of the date, time and place of the adjourned meeting and the general nature of the business to be transacted.

At any general meeting a resolution put to the vote of the meeting shall be decided on a show of hands by a simple majority, unless a poll is (before, or on, the declaration of the result of the show of hands) demanded by the chairman of the meeting or by one or more shareholders present in person or by proxy entitled to vote and who together hold not less than ten percent of the voting rights of all those who have a right to vote on the resolution. Unless a poll is so demanded, a declaration by the chairman that a resolution has, on a show of hands, been carried, or carried unanimously, or by a particular majority, or lost, and an entry to that effect in the book of the proceedings of the Company, shall be conclusive evidence of the facts, without proof of the number or proportion of the votes recorded in favor of, or against, that resolution.

If a poll is duly demanded it shall be taken in such manner as the chairman directs. The chairman may appoint scrutineers (who need not be shareholders) and fix a place and time for declaring the result of the poll. If, through the aid of technology, the meeting is held in more than one place, the chairman may appoint scrutineers in more than one place; but if he considers that the poll cannot be effectively monitored at that meeting, the chairman shall adjourn the holding of the poll to a date, place and time when that can occur.

In the case of an equality of votes, whether on a show of hands or on a poll, the chairman of the meeting at which the show of hands takes place or at which the poll is demanded, shall not be entitled to a second or casting vote.

Directors

We may by ordinary resolution, from time to time, fix the maximum and minimum number of directors to be appointed. Under the articles, we are required to have a minimum of one director and the maximum number of Directors shall be unlimited.

A director may be appointed by ordinary resolution or by the directors. Any appointment may be to fill a vacancy or as an additional director.

Until otherwise determined by our shareholders by ordinary resolution, the directors shall be entitled to such remuneration by way of fees for their services in the office of director as the directors may determine.

The shareholding qualification for directors may be fixed by our shareholders by ordinary resolution and unless and until so fixed no share qualification shall be required.

116

Table of Contents

Subject to the provisions of the articles of association of the Company, a director shall hold office until such time as he is removed from office by the shareholders by ordinary resolutions.

Subject to the provisions of the articles, the office of a director may be terminated forthwith if:

(a)     he becomes bankrupt or makes any arrangement or composition with his creditors;

(b)    he is prohibited by the law of the Cayman Islands from acting as a director;

(c)     he resigns his office by notice in writing to us;

(d)    he only held office as a director for a fixed term and such term expires;

(e)     in the opinion of a registered medical practitioner by whom he is being treated he becomes physically or mentally incapable of acting as a director;

(f)     he is given notice by the majority of the other directors (not being less than two in number) to vacate office (without prejudice to any claim for damages for breach of any agreement relating to the provision of the services of such director);

(g)    he is made subject to any law relating to mental health or incompetence, whether by court order or otherwise; or

(h)    without the consent of the other directors, he is absent from meetings of directors for a continuous period of six months.

Each of the compensation committee and the nominating and corporate governance committee shall consist of at least three directors and the majority of the committee members shall be independent within the meaning of Section 5605(a)(2) of the Nasdaq listing rules. The audit committee shall consist of at least three directors, all of whom shall be independent within the meaning of Section 5605(a)(2) of the Nasdaq listing rules and will meet the criteria for independence set forth in Rule 10A-3 or Rule 10C-1 of the Exchange Act.

Powers and Duties of Directors

Subject to the provisions of the Cayman Companies Act and our memorandum and articles of association, our business shall be managed by the directors, who may exercise all our powers. No prior act of the directors shall be invalidated by any subsequent resolutions of shareholders. To the extent allowed by the Cayman Companies Act, however, shareholders may by special resolution validate any prior or future act of the directors which would otherwise be in breach of their duties.

The directors may delegate any of their powers to any committee consisting of one or more persons who need not be shareholders and may include non-directors so long as the majority of those persons are directors; any committee so formed shall in the exercise of the powers so delegated conform to any regulations that may be imposed on it by the directors. Upon the initial closing of this offering, our board of directors will have established an audit committee, compensation committee, and nomination and corporate governance committee.

The board of directors may establish any local or divisional board of directors or agency and delegate to it its powers and authorities (with power to sub-delegate) for managing any of our affairs whether in the Cayman Islands or elsewhere and may appoint any persons to be members of a local or divisional board of directors, or to be managers or agents, and may fix their remuneration.

The directors may from time to time and at any time by power of attorney or in any other manner they determine appoint any person, whether nominated directly or indirectly by the directors, to be our attorney for such period and subject to such conditions as they may think fit. The powers, authorities and discretions, however, must not exceed those vested in, or exercisable, by the directors under the articles.

The board of directors may remove any person so appointed and may revoke or vary the delegation.

117

Table of Contents

The directors may exercise all of our powers to borrow money and to mortgage or charge its undertaking, property and assets both present and future and uncalled capital or any part thereof, to issue debentures and other securities whether outright or as collateral security for any debt, liability or obligation of ours or our parent undertaking (if any) or any subsidiary undertaking of us or of any third party.

A director who is in any way, whether directly or indirectly, interested in a contract or proposed contract with the Company shall declare the nature of his interest at a meeting of the directors. A general notice given to the directors by any director to the effect that he is a member of any specified company or firm and is to be regarded as interested in any contract which may thereafter be made with that company or firm shall be deemed a sufficient declaration of interest in regard to any contract so made. A director may vote in respect of any contract or proposed contract or arrangement notwithstanding that he may be interested therein and if he does so his vote shall be counted and he may be counted in the quorum at any meeting of the directors at which any such contract or proposed contract or arrangement shall come before the meeting for consideration.

Capitalization of Profits

Subject to the Cayman Companies Act, the directors may, with the authority of an ordinary resolution, resolve to capitalize any part of the amount for the time being standing to the credit of any of the Company’s reserve accounts (including a share premium account and capital redemption reserve), or to the credit of the profit and loss account or otherwise available for distribution, and accordingly that such sum be set free for distribution, amongst the Members who would have been entitled thereto if distributed by way of dividend and in the same proportion, on condition that the same be not paid in cash but be applied either in or towards paying up any amounts (if any) for the time being unpaid on any shares held by such Members respectively, or paying up in full unissued shares or debentures of the Company to be allotted and distributed credited as fully paid up to and amongst such Members in the proportion aforesaid or partly in the one way and partly in the other. Provided that a share premium account and a capital redemption reserve fund may, for the purposes of this Article, only be applied in the paying up of unissued shares to be allotted to Members of the Company as fully paid bonus shares.

Liquidation Rights

If we are wound up, the shareholders may, subject to the articles and any other sanction required by the Cayman Companies Act, pass a special resolution allowing the liquidator to do either or both of the following:

(a)     to divide in specie among the shareholders the whole or any part of our assets whether they shall consist of property of the same kind or not and may and, for that purpose, to set value as he deems fair upon any property to be divided as aforesaid and determine how the division shall be carried out as between the shareholders or different classes of shareholders; and

(b)    to vest the whole or any part of the assets in trustees upon such trusts for the benefit of the contributors as the liquidators shall think fit, but so that no Member shall be compelled to accept any shares or other securities whereon there is any liability.

Register of Members

Under the Cayman Companies Act, we must keep a register of members and there should be entered therein:

        the names and addresses of our shareholders, and, a statement of the shares held by each member, which:

        distinguishes each share by its number (so long as the share has a number);

        confirms the amount paid, or agreed to be considered as paid, on the shares of each member;

        confirms the number and category of shares held by each member; and

        confirms whether each relevant category of shares held by a member carries voting rights under the articles of association of the company, and if so, whether such voting rights are conditional;

        the date on which the name of any person was entered on the register as a shareholder; and

        the date on which any person ceased to be a shareholder.

118

Table of Contents

Under the Cayman Companies Act, the register of members of our company is prima facie evidence of the matters set out therein (that is, the register of members will raise a presumption of fact on the matters referred to above unless rebutted) and a shareholder registered in the register of members is deemed as a matter of the Cayman Companies Act to have legal title to the shares as set against its name in the register of members. Upon the completion of this offering, the register of members will be immediately updated to record and give effect to the issuance of shares by us to the custodian or its nominee. Once our register of members has been updated, the shareholders recorded in the register of members will be deemed to have legal title to the shares set against their name.

If the name of any person is incorrectly entered in or omitted from our register of members, or if there is any default or unnecessary delay in entering on the register the fact of any person having ceased to be a shareholder of our company, the person or shareholder aggrieved (or any shareholder of our company or our company itself) may apply to the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands for an order that the register be rectified, and the Court may either refuse such application or it may, if satisfied of the justice of the case, make an order for the rectification of the register.

Differences in Corporate Law

The Cayman Companies Act is derived, to a large extent, from the older Companies Acts of England and Wales but does not follow recent United Kingdom statutory enactments, and accordingly there are significant differences between the Cayman Companies Act and the current Companies Act of the UK. In addition, the Cayman Companies Act differs from laws applicable to United States corporations and their shareholders. Set forth below is a summary of certain significant differences between the provisions of the Cayman Companies Act applicable to us and the comparable laws applicable to companies incorporated in the State of Delaware in the United States.

Duties of Directors

 

Under Delaware law, the business and affairs of a corporation are managed by or under the direction of its board of directors. In exercising their powers, directors are charged with a fiduciary duty of care to protect the interests of the corporation and a fiduciary duty of loyalty to act in the best interests of its shareholders. The duty of care requires that directors act in an informed and deliberative manner and inform themselves, prior to making a business decision, of all material information reasonably available to them. The duty of care also requires that directors exercise care in overseeing and investigating the conduct of the corporation’s employees. The duty of loyalty may be summarized as the duty to act in good faith, not out of self-interest, and in a manner which the director reasonably believes to be in the best interests of the shareholders.

 

As a matter of Cayman Islands law, a director owes three types of duties to the company: (i) statutory duties, (ii) fiduciary duties, and (iii) common law duties. The Cayman Companies Act imposes a number of statutory duties on a director. A Cayman Islands director’s fiduciary duties are not codified, however the courts of the Cayman Islands have held that a director owes the following fiduciary duties (a) a duty to act in what the director bona fide considers to be in the best interests of the company, (b) a duty to exercise their powers for the purposes they were conferred, (c) a duty to avoid fettering his or her discretion in the future and (d) a duty to avoid conflicts of interest and of duty. The common law duties owed by a director are those to act with skill, care and diligence that may reasonably be expected of a person carrying out the same functions as are carried out by that director in relation to the company

119

Cayman Islands

       

and, also, to act with the skill, care and diligence in keeping with a standard of care commensurate with any particular skill they have which enables them to meet a higher standard than a director without those skills. In fulfilling their duty of care to us, our directors must ensure compliance with our articles of association, as amended and restated from time to time. We have the right to seek damages where certain duties owed by any of our directors are breached.

Limitations on Personal Liability of Directors

 

Subject to the limitations described below, a certificate of incorporation may provide for the elimination or limitation of the personal liability of a director to the corporation or its shareholders for monetary damages for a breach of fiduciary duty as a director. Such provision cannot limit liability for breach of loyalty, bad faith, intentional misconduct, unlawful payment of dividends or unlawful share purchase or redemption. In addition, the certificate of incorporation cannot limit liability for any act or omission occurring prior to the date when such provision becomes effective.

 

The Cayman Islands law does not limit the extent to which a company’s articles of association may provide for indemnification of Officers and directors, except to the extent any such provision may be held by the Cayman Islands courts to be contrary to public policy, such as to provide indemnification against civil fraud or the consequences of committing a crime.

Indemnification of Directors, Officers, Agents, and Others

 

A corporation has the power to indemnify any director, officer, employee, or agent of corporation who was, is, or is threatened to be made a party who acted in good faith and in a manner he believed to be in the best interests of the corporation, and if with respect to a criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct would be unlawful, against amounts actually and reasonably incurred.

 

Cayman Islands law does not limit the extent to which a company’s memorandum and articles of association may provide for indemnification of directors and officers, except to the extent any such provision may be held by the Cayman Islands courts to be contrary to public policy, such as to provide indemnification against the consequences of committing a crime, or against the indemnified person’s own fraud or dishonesty.

Our articles of association provide to the extent permitted by law, we shall indemnify each existing or former secretary, director (including alternate director), and any of our other officers (including an investment adviser or an administrator or liquidator) against all costs, expenses, losses, or liabilities reasonably incurred by the existing or former director (including alternate director), secretary or officer in connection with any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative proceedings (whether threatened, pending or completed) concerning us or our affairs in any court or tribunal, whether in the Cayman Islands or elsewhere.

120

Table of Contents

 

Delaware

 

Cayman Islands

       

No such existing or former director (including alternate director), secretary or officer, however, shall be indemnified in respect of any matter arising out of his own actual fraud, willful default or willful neglect.

To the extent permitted by law, we may make a payment, or agree to make a payment, whether by way of advance, loan or otherwise, for any legal costs incurred by an existing or former director (including alternate director), secretary or any of our officers in respect of any matter identified in above on condition that the director (including alternate director), secretary or officer must repay the amount paid by us to the extent that it is ultimately found not liable to indemnify the director (including alternate director), the secretary or that officer for those legal costs.

Interested Directors

 

Under Delaware law, a transaction in which a director who has an interest in such transaction would not be voidable if (i) the material facts as to such interested director’s relationship or interests are disclosed or are known to the board of directors and the board in good faith authorizes the transaction by the affirmative vote of a majority of the disinterested directors, even though the disinterested directors are less than a quorum, (ii) such material facts are disclosed or are known to the shareholders entitled to vote on such transaction and the transaction is specifically approved in good faith by vote of the shareholders, or (iii) the transaction is fair as to the corporation as of the time it is authorized, approved or ratified. Under Delaware law, a director could be held liable for any transaction in which such director derived an improper personal benefit.

 

Interested director transactions are governed by the terms of a company’s memorandum and articles of association.

Voting Requirements

 

The certificate of incorporation may include a provision requiring supermajority approval by the directors or shareholders for any corporate action.

In addition, under Delaware law, certain business combinations involving interested shareholders require approval by a supermajority of the non-interested shareholders.

 

The Cayman Companies Act requires that a special resolution be passed by a majority of at least two-thirds or such higher percentage as set forth in the memorandum and articles of association, of shareholders being entitled to vote and do vote in person or by proxy at a general meeting, or by unanimous written consent of shareholders entitled to vote at a general meeting.

121

Table of Contents

 

Delaware

 

Cayman Islands

       

The Cayman Companies Act defines “special resolutions” only. A company’s memorandum and articles of association can therefore tailor the definition of “ordinary resolutions” as a whole, or with respect to specific provisions.

Voting for Directors

 

Under Delaware law, unless otherwise specified in the certificate of incorporation or bylaws of the corporation, directors shall be elected by a plurality of the votes of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the election of directors.

 

Director election is governed by the terms of the memorandum and articles of association.

Cumulative Voting

 

No cumulative voting for the election of directors unless so provided in the certificate of incorporation.

 

There are no prohibitions in relation to cumulative voting under the Cayman Companies Act but our articles of association do not provide for cumulative voting

Directors’ Powers Regarding Bylaws

 

The certificate of incorporation may grant the directors the power to adopt, amend or repeal bylaws.

 

The memorandum and articles of association may only be amended by a special resolution of the shareholders.

Nomination and Removal of Directors and Filling Vacancies on Board

 

Shareholders may generally nominate directors if they comply with advance notice provisions and other procedural requirements in company bylaws. Holders of a majority of the shares may remove a director with or without cause, except in certain cases involving a classified board or if the company uses cumulative voting. Unless otherwise provided for in the certificate of incorporation, directorship vacancies are filled by a majority of the directors elected or then in office.

 

Nomination and removal of directors and filling of board vacancies are governed by the terms of the memorandum and articles of association.

Mergers and Similar Arrangements

 

Under Delaware law, with certain exceptions, a merger, consolidation, or sale of all or substantially all of the assets of a corporation must be approved by the board of directors and by a majority of the outstanding voting power of the shares entitled to vote thereon. Under Delaware law, a shareholder of a corporation participating in certain mergers are entitled to appraisal rights pursuant to which such shareholder may receive cash in the amount of the fair value (as determined by the Delaware Court of Chancery) of the shares held by such shareholder in lieu of the consideration such shareholder would otherwise receive in the transaction.

 

The Cayman Companies Act provides for the merger or consolidation of two or more companies into a single entity. The legislation makes a distinction between a “consolidation” and a “merger.” In a consolidation, a new entity is formed from the combination of each participating company, and the separate consolidating parties, as a consequence, cease to exist and are each stricken by the Registrar of Companies. In a merger, one company remains as the surviving entity, having in effect absorbed the other merging parties that are then stricken and cease to exist.

122

Table of Contents

 

Delaware

 

Cayman Islands

   

Delaware law also provides that a parent entity, by resolution of its board of directors, may merge with any subsidiary corporation, of which it owns at least 90% of each class of capital stock without a vote by shareholders of such subsidiary. Upon any such merger, dissenting shareholders of the subsidiary would have appraisal rights unless the subsidiary is wholly owned.

 

Two or more Cayman-registered companies may merge or consolidate. Cayman-registered companies may also merge or consolidate with foreign companies provided that the laws of the foreign jurisdiction permit such merger or consolidation.

Under the Cayman Companies Act, a plan of merger or consolidation shall be authorized by each constituent company by way of (i) a special resolution of the members of each such constituent company; and (ii) such other authorization, if any, as may be specified in such constituent company’s memorandum and articles of association.

A merger between a Cayman parent company and its Cayman subsidiary or subsidiaries does not require authorization by a resolution of shareholders of that Cayman subsidiary if a copy of the plan of merger is given to every member of that Cayman subsidiary to be merged unless that member agrees otherwise. For this purpose, a subsidiary is a company of which at least ninety percent (90%) of the votes are owned by the parent company.

The consent of each holder of a fixed or floating security interest over a constituent company is required unless this requirement is waived by a court in the Cayman Islands.

Save in certain circumstances, a dissentient shareholder of a Cayman constituent company is entitled to payment of the fair value of his shares upon dissenting to a merger or consolidation. The exercise of appraisal rights will preclude the exercise of any other rights save for the right to seek relief on the grounds that the merger or consolidation is void or unlawful.

In addition, there are statutory provisions that facilitate the reconstruction and amalgamation of companies, by way of schemes of arrangement. Those provisions provide that if a majority in number representing 75% in value of the

123

Table of Contents

 

Delaware

 

Cayman Islands

       

creditors or class of creditors (as the case may be) present and voting either in person or by proxy at the meeting, agree to any compromise or arrangement, the compromise or arrangement shall, if sanctioned by the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands, be binding on all the creditors or the class of creditors, as the case may be, and also on the company or, where a company is in the course of being wound up, on the liquidator and contributories of the company.

Alternatively, if 75% in value of the members or class of members (as the case may be) present and voting either in person or by proxy at the meeting, agree to any compromise or arrangement, the compromise or arrangement shall, if sanctioned by the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands, be binding on all the members or the class of members, as the case may be, and also on the company or, where a company is in the course of being wound up, on the liquidator and contributories of the company. While a dissenting shareholder would have the right to express to the court the view that the transaction should not be approved, the court can be expected to approve the arrangement if it satisfies itself that:

   we are not proposing to act illegally or ultra vires and the statutory provisions as to the required majority vote have been met;

   the shareholders have been fairly represented at the meeting in question;

   the arrangement is such that may be reasonably approved by an intelligent and honest man of that class acting in respect of his interest; and

   the arrangement is not one that would more properly be sanctioned under some other provision of the Cayman Companies Act or that would amount to a “fraud on the minority.”

124

Table of Contents

Cayman Islands

       

When a takeover offer is made and accepted by holders of not less than 90.0% of the shares affected within four (4) months, the offeror may, within a two (2) month period commencing on the expiration of such four (4) month period, require the holders of the remaining shares to transfer such shares on the terms of the offer. An objection can be made to the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands, but this is unlikely to succeed in the case of an offer which has been so approved unless there is evidence of fraud, bad faith or collusion.

If an arrangement and reconstruction is thus approved, the dissenting shareholder would have no rights comparable to appraisal rights, which would otherwise ordinarily be available to dissenting shareholders of Delaware corporations, providing rights to receive payment in cash for the judicially determined value of the shares.

Shareholder Suits

 

Class actions and derivative actions generally are available to shareholders under Delaware law for, among other things, breach of fiduciary duty, corporate waste and actions not taken in accordance with applicable law.

In such actions, the court generally has discretion to permit the winning party to recover attorneys’ fees incurred in connection with such action but such discretion is rarely used. Generally, Delaware follows the American rule under which each party bears its own costs.

 

In principle, we will normally be the proper plaintiff and as a general rule a derivative action may not be brought by a minority shareholder. However, based on English authorities, which would in all likelihood be of persuasive authority in the Cayman Islands, there are exceptions to the foregoing principle, including when:

   a company acts or proposes to act illegally or ultra vires;

   the act complained of, although not ultra vires, could only be effected duly if authorized by more than a simple majority vote that has not been obtained; and

   those who control the company are perpetrating a “fraud on the minority.”

Inspection of Corporate Records

 

Under Delaware law, shareholders of a corporation, upon written demand under oath stating the purpose thereof, have the right during normal business hours to inspect for any proper purpose, and to make copies and extracts of list(s) of shareholders and other books and records of the corporation and its subsidiaries, if any, to the extent the books and records of such subsidiaries are available to the corporation.

 

Shareholders of a Cayman Islands exempted company have no general right under Cayman Islands law to inspect or obtain copies of a list of shareholders or other corporate records (other than copies of our memorandum and articles, the register of mortgages or charges, and any special resolutions passed by our shareholders) of the company. However, these rights may be provided in the company’s memorandum and articles of association.

Under Delaware law, a shareholder has the right to put any proposal before the annual meeting of shareholders, provided it complies with the notice provisions in the corporation’s governing documents. A special meeting may be called by the board of directors or any other person authorized to do so in the corporation’s governing documents, but shareholders may be precluded from calling special meetings.

 

The Cayman Companies Act does not provide shareholders any right to bring business before a meeting or requisition a general meeting. However, these rights may be provided in the company’s memorandum and articles of association.

Approval of Corporate Matters by Written Consent

 

Delaware law permits shareholders to take action by written consent signed by the holders of outstanding shares having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting of shareholders unless otherwise provided in the corporation’s certificate of incorporation. A corporation must send prompt notice of the taking of the corporate action approved by shareholders without a meeting by less than unanimous written consent to those shareholders who have not consented in writing and who would have otherwise been entitled to notice of the meeting at which such action would have been taken.

 

The Cayman Companies Act allows a special resolution to be passed in writing if signed by all the voting shareholders (if authorized by the memorandum and articles of association).

Calling of Special Shareholders Meetings

 

Delaware law permits the board of directors or any person who is authorized under a corporation’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws to call a special meeting of shareholders.

 

The Cayman Companies Act does not have provisions governing the proceedings of shareholders meetings which are usually provided in the memorandum and articles of association.

Anti-money Laundering — Cayman Islands

In order to comply with legislation or regulations aimed at the prevention of money laundering, we are required to adopt and maintain anti-money laundering procedures and may require subscribers to provide evidence to verify their identity and source of funds. Where permitted, and subject to certain conditions, we may also delegate the maintenance of our anti-money laundering procedures (including the acquisition of due diligence information) to a suitable person.

126

Table of Contents

We reserve the right to request such information as is necessary to verify the identity of a subscriber. In some cases the directors may be satisfied that no further information is required since an exemption applies under the Anti-Money Laundering Regulations (Revised) of the Cayman Islands, as amended and revised from time to time (the “Regulations”). Depending on the circumstances of each application, a detailed verification of identity might not be required where:

(a)     the subscriber makes the payment for their investment from an account held in the subscriber’s name at a recognized financial institution; or

(b)    the subscriber is regulated by a recognized regulatory authority and is based or incorporated in, or formed under the law of, a recognized jurisdiction; or

(c)     the application is made through an intermediary which is regulated by a recognized regulatory authority and is based in or incorporated in, or formed under the law of a recognized jurisdiction and an assurance is provided in relation to the procedures undertaken on the underlying investors.

For the purposes of these exceptions, recognition of a financial institution, regulatory authority, or jurisdiction will be determined in accordance with the Regulations by reference to those jurisdictions recognized by the Cayman Islands Monetary Authority as having equivalent anti-money laundering regulations.

In the event of delay or failure on the part of the subscriber in producing any information required for verification purposes, we may refuse to accept the application, in which case any funds received will be returned without interest to the account from which they were originally debited.

We also reserve the right to refuse to make any redemption payment to a shareholder if our directors or officers suspect or are advised that the payment of redemption proceeds to such shareholder might result in a breach of applicable anti-money laundering or other laws or regulations by any person in any relevant jurisdiction, or if such refusal is considered necessary or appropriate to ensure our compliance with any such laws or regulations in any applicable jurisdiction.

If any person resident in the Cayman Islands knows or suspects or has reason for knowing or suspecting that another person is engaged in criminal conduct or is involved with terrorism or terrorist property and the information for that knowledge or suspicion came to their attention in the course of their business in the regulated sector, or other trade, profession, business or employment, the person will be required to report such knowledge or suspicion to (i) a nominated officer (appointed in accordance with the Proceeds of Crime Act (Revised) of the Cayman Islands) or the Financial Reporting Authority of the Cayman Islands, pursuant to the Proceeds of Crime Act (Revised), if the disclosure relates to criminal conduct or money laundering or (ii) to a police constable or a nominated officer (pursuant to the Terrorism Act (Revised) of the Cayman Islands) or the Financial Reporting Authority, pursuant to the Terrorism Act (Revised), if the disclosure relates to involvement with terrorism or terrorist financing and terrorist property. Such a report shall not be treated as a breach of confidence or of any restriction upon the disclosure of information imposed by any enactment or otherwise.

Legislation of the Cayman Islands

The Cayman Islands, together with several other non-European Union jurisdictions, have introduced legislation aimed at addressing concerns raised by the Council of the European Union as to offshore structures engaged in certain activities which attract profits without real economic activity. The International Tax Co-operation (Economic Substance) Act (Revised) (the “Substance Act”) came into force in the Cayman Islands in January 2019introducing certain economic substance requirements for in-scope Cayman Islands entities which are engaged in certain “relevant activities.” An exempted company incorporated in the Cayman Islands as is our Company is an in-scope Cayman Islands entity; however, it does not include an entity that is tax resident outside the Cayman Islands. Our Company being a holding company with no material operations will likely be subject to more limited substance requirements.

SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE

Before our initial public offering, there has not been a public market for our Class A Ordinary Shares, and although we intend to apply to list our Class A Ordinary Shares on Nasdaq, a regular trading market for our Class A Ordinary Shares may not develop. Future sales of substantial amounts of shares of our Class A Ordinary Shares in the public market after our initial public offering, or the possibility of these sales occurring, could cause the prevailing market price for our Class A Ordinary Shares to fall or impair our ability to raise equity capital in the future. Upon completion of this offering, we will have outstanding Class A Ordinary Shares held by public shareholders representing approximately [•]% of our Class A Ordinary Shares in issue if the underwriters do not exercise their over-allotment option, and approximately [•]% of our Class A Ordinary Shares in issue if the underwriters exercise their over-allotment option in full. All of the Class A Ordinary Shares sold in this offering will be freely transferable by persons other than our “affiliates” without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act.

Rule 144

All of our Class A Ordinary Shares outstanding prior to the closing of this offering are “restricted securities” as that term is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act and may be sold publicly in the United States only if they are subject to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirement such as those provided by Rule 144 and Rule 701 promulgated under the Securities Act.

In general, under Rule 144 as currently in effect, beginning 90 days after the date of this prospectus, a person who is not deemed to have been our affiliate at any time during the three months preceding a sale and who has beneficially owned restricted securities within the meaning of Rule 144 for more than six months would be entitled to sell an unlimited number of those shares, subject only to the availability of current public information about us. A non-affiliate who has beneficially owned restricted securities for at least one year from the later of the date these shares were acquired from us or from our affiliate would be entitled to freely sell those shares.

A person who is deemed to be an affiliate of ours and who has beneficially owned “restricted securities” for at least six months would be entitled to sell, within any three-month period, a number of shares that is not more than the greater of:

        1% of the number of Class A Ordinary Shares then outstanding, in the form of Class A Ordinary Shares or otherwise, which will equal approximately [•] shares immediately after this offering, assuming the underwriters do not exercise their over-allotment option; or

        the average weekly trading volume of the Class A Ordinary Shares on Nasdaq during the four calendar weeks preceding the filing of a notice on Form 144 with respect to such sale.

Sales under Rule 144 by our affiliates or persons selling shares on behalf of our affiliates are also subject to certain manner of sale provisions and notice requirements and to the availability of current public information about us.

Rule 701

In general, under Rule 701 of the Securities Act as currently in effect, each of our employees, consultants, or advisors who purchases our Class A Ordinary Shares from us in connection with a compensatory stock plan or other written agreement executed prior to the completion of this offering is eligible to resell those Class A Ordinary Shares in reliance on Rule 144, but without compliance with some of the restrictions, including the holding period, contained in Rule 144. However, the Rule 701 shares would remain subject to lock-up arrangements and would only become eligible for sale when the lock-up period expires.

MATERIAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATION

People’s Republic of China Enterprise Taxation

The following brief description of Chinese enterprise income taxation is designed to highlight the enterprise-level taxation on our earnings, which will affect the amount of dividends, if any, we are ultimately able to pay to our shareholders. See “Dividend Policy.”

According to the EIT Law, which was promulgated by the SCNPC on March 16, 2007, became effective on January 1, 2008, and was then last amended on December 29, 2018, and the Implementation Rules of the EIT Law, which were promulgated by the State Council on December 6, 2007, and became effective on January 1, 2008, and last amended on April 23, 2018, enterprises are divided into resident enterprises and non-resident enterprises. Resident enterprises pay enterprise income tax on their incomes obtained in and outside the PRC at the rate of 25%. Non-resident enterprises setting up institutions in the PRC pay enterprise income tax on the incomes obtained by such institutions in and outside the PRC at the rate of 25%. Non-resident enterprises with no institutions in the PRC, and non-resident enterprises with income having no substantial connection with their institutions in the PRC, pay enterprise income tax on their income obtained in the PRC at a reduced rate of 10%.

We are a holding company incorporated in the Cayman Islands and we gain substantial income by way of dividends paid to us from the PRC subsidiaries. The EIT Law and its implementation rules provide that China-sourced income of foreign enterprises, such as dividends paid by a PRC subsidiary to its equity holders that are non-resident enterprises, will normally be subject to PRC withholding tax at a rate of 10%, unless any such foreign investor’s jurisdiction of incorporation has a tax treaty with China that provides for a preferential tax rate or a tax exemption.

Under the EIT Law, an enterprise established outside of China with a “de facto management body” within China is considered a “resident enterprise,” which means that it is treated in a manner similar to a Chinese enterprise for enterprise income tax purposes. Although the implementation rules of the EIT Law define “de facto management body” as a managing body that actually, comprehensively manage and control the production and operation, staff, accounting, property, and other aspects of an enterprise, the only official guidance for this definition currently available is set forth in SAT Notice 82, which provides guidance on the determination of the tax residence status of a Chinese-controlled offshore incorporated enterprise, defined as an enterprise that is incorporated under the laws of a foreign country or territory and that has a PRC enterprise or enterprise group as its primary controlling shareholder. Although KTA Cayman does not have a PRC enterprise or enterprise group as our primary controlling shareholder and is therefore not a Chinese-controlled offshore incorporated enterprise within the meaning of SAT Notice 82, in the absence of guidance specifically applicable to us, we have applied the guidance set forth in SAT Notice 82 to evaluate the tax residence status of KTA Cayman and its subsidiaries organized outside the PRC.

According to SAT Notice 82, a Chinese-controlled offshore incorporated enterprise will be regarded as a PRC tax resident by virtue of having a “de facto management body” in China and will be subject to PRC enterprise income tax on its worldwide income only if all of the following criteria are met: (i) the places where senior management and senior management departments that are responsible for daily production, operation and management of the enterprise perform their duties are mainly located within the territory of China; (ii) financial decisions (such as money borrowing, lending, financing and financial risk management) and personnel decisions (such as appointment, dismissal and salary and wages) are decided or need to be decided by organizations or persons located within the territory of China; (iii) main property, accounting books, corporate seal, the board of directors and files of the minutes of shareholders’ meetings of the enterprise are located or preserved within the territory of China; and (iv) one half (or more) of the directors or senior management staff having the right to vote habitually reside within the territory of China.

We believe that we do not meet some of the conditions outlined in the immediately preceding paragraph. For example, as a holding company, the key assets and records of KTA Cayman, including the resolutions and meeting minutes of our board of directors and the resolutions and meeting minutes of our shareholders, are located and maintained outside the PRC. In addition, we are not aware of any offshore holding companies with a corporate structure similar to ours that has been deemed to be a PRC “resident enterprise” by the PRC tax authorities. Accordingly, we believe that KTA Cayman and its offshore subsidiaries should not be treated as a “resident enterprise” for PRC tax purposes if the criteria for “de facto management body” as set forth in SAT Notice 82 were deemed applicable to us. However, as the tax residency status of an enterprise is subject to determination by the PRC tax authorities and uncertainties remain with respect to the interpretation of the term “de facto management body” as applicable to our offshore entities, we will continue to monitor our tax status.

131

Table of Contents

The implementation rules of the EIT Law provide that, (i) if the enterprise that distributes dividends is domiciled in the PRC or (ii) if gains are realized from transferring equity interests of enterprises domiciled in the PRC, then such dividends or gains are treated as China-sourced income. It is not clear how “domicile” may be interpreted under the EIT Law, and it may be interpreted as the jurisdiction where the enterprise is a tax resident. Therefore, if we are considered as a PRC tax resident enterprise for PRC tax purposes, any dividends we pay to our overseas shareholders which are non-resident enterprises as well as gains realized by such shareholders from the transfer of our shares may be regarded as China-sourced income and as a result become subject to PRC withholding tax at a rate of up to 10%. AllBright, our PRC counsel, is unable to provide a “will” opinion because it believes that it is more likely than not that we and our offshore subsidiaries would be treated as non-resident enterprises for PRC tax purposes because we do not meet some of the conditions outlined in SAT Notice 82. In addition, AllBright is not aware of any offshore holding companies with a corporate structure similar to ours that has been deemed to be a PRC “resident enterprise” by the PRC tax authorities as of the date of the prospectus. Therefore, AllBright believes that it is possible but highly unlikely that the income received by our overseas shareholders will be regarded as China-sourced income. An opinion on PRC tax matters by AllBright, our PRC counsel, is filed as Exhibit 8.1 to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part.

Currently, as resident enterprises in the PRC, KTA WFOE is subject to the enterprise income tax at the rate of 25% and Yulin KTA is subject to the enterprise income tax at the rate of 25%. Under particular circumstances, such as an enterprise being identified as a small-scale minimal profit enterprise or as a new high-tech enterprise, or its domicile authority having a preferential tax policy, the EIT rate is by various degrees. Pursuant to such regulations and policies, as resident enterprises in the PRC, KTA WFOE is subject to the enterprise income tax at the rate of 25% and Yulin KTA is subject to the enterprise income tax at the rate of 25%. The EIT is calculated based on the entity’s global income as determined under PRC tax laws and accounting standards.

If the PRC tax authorities determine that KTA Cayman is a PRC resident enterprise for enterprise income tax purposes, we may be required to withhold a 10% withholding tax from dividends we pay to our shareholders that are non-resident enterprises. In addition, non-resident enterprise shareholders may be subject to a 10% PRC withholding tax on gains realized on the sale or other disposition of our Class A Ordinary Shares or Class B Ordinary Shares, if such income is treated as sourced from within the PRC. It is unclear whether our non-PRC individual shareholders would be subject to any PRC tax on dividends or gains obtained by such non-PRC individual shareholders in the event we are determined to be a PRC resident enterprise. If any PRC tax were to apply to dividends or gains realized by non-PRC individuals, it would generally apply at a rate of 20% unless a reduced rate is available under an applicable tax treaty. However, it is also unclear whether our non-PRC shareholders would be able to claim the benefits of any tax treaties between their country of tax residence and the PRC in the event that we are treated as a PRC resident enterprise. There is no guidance from the PRC government to indicate whether or not any tax treaties between the PRC and other countries would apply in circumstances where a non-PRC company was deemed to be a PRC tax resident, and thus there is no basis for expecting how tax treaty between the PRC and other countries may impact non-resident enterprises.

As for the value-added tax, or the “VAT,” pursuant to the current laws and regulations of the PRC, our PRC subsidiaries mainly apply to one VAT arrangement as of the date of this prospectus: the VAT tax rate for sales of goods and services, which is 13%.

Cayman Islands Taxation

The following is a discussion on certain Cayman Islands income tax consequences of an investment in the Class A Ordinary Shares or Class B Ordinary Shares. The discussion is a general summary of the present law, which is subject to prospective and retroactive changes. It is not intended as tax advice, does not consider any investor’s particular circumstances, and does not consider tax consequences other than those arising under Cayman Islands law.

The Cayman Islands currently levies no taxes on individuals or corporations based upon profits, income, gains or appreciation and there is no taxation in the nature of inheritance tax or estate duty. There are no other taxes likely to be material to us levied by the Government of the Cayman Islands except for stamp duties which may be applicable on instruments executed in, or, after execution, brought within the jurisdiction of the Cayman Islands. No stamp duty is payable in the Cayman Islands on the issue of shares by, or any transfers of shares of, Cayman Islands companies (except those which hold interests in land in the Cayman Islands). There are no exchange control regulations or currency restrictions in the Cayman Islands.

Table of Contents

Our company has been incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands as an exempted company with limited liability and, as such, has obtained an undertaking from the Governor in Cabinet of the Cayman Islands as to tax concessions under the Tax Concessions Act (Revised). In accordance with the provision of Section 6 of The Tax Concessions Act (Revised), the Governor in Cabinet undertakes with our company:

        that no law that is hereafter enacted in the Cayman Islands imposing any tax to be levied on profits, income, gains, or appreciations shall apply to our company or its operations; and

        in addition, that no tax to be levied on profits, income, gains, or appreciations or which is in the nature of estate duty or inheritance tax shall be payable:

        on or in respect of the shares, debentures, or other obligations of our company; or

        by way of the withholding, in whole or part, of any relevant payment as defined in the Tax Concessions Act (Revised).

These concessions shall be for a period of 20 years from November 23, 2023.

Payments of dividends and capital in respect of our Class A Ordinary Shares or Class B Ordinary Shares will not be subject to taxation in the Cayman Islands and no withholding will be required on the payment of a dividend or capital to any holder of our Class A Ordinary Shares or Class B Ordinary Shares, as the case may be, nor will gains derived from the disposal of our Class A Ordinary Shares or Class B Ordinary Shares be subject to Cayman Islands income or corporation tax.

British Virgin Islands Taxation

The British Virgin Islands currently levies no taxes on individuals or corporations based upon profits, income, gains or appreciation and there is no taxation in the nature of inheritance tax or estate duty. There are no other taxes likely to be material to us levied by the Government of the British Virgin Islands except for stamp duties which may be applicable on instruments executed in, or after execution brought within the jurisdiction of the British Virgin Islands. No stamp duty is payable in the British Virgin Islands on the issue of shares by, or any transfers of shares of, British Virgin Islands companies (except those which hold interests in land in the British Virgin Islands). The British Virgin Islands is not party to any double tax treaties that are applicable to any payments made to or by us. There are no exchange control regulations or currency restrictions in the British Virgin Islands.

Payments of dividends and capital in respect of our Class A Ordinary Shares or Class B Ordinary Shares will not be subject to taxation in the British Virgin Islands and no withholding will be required on the payment of a dividend or capital to any holder of our Class A Ordinary Shares or Class B Ordinary Shares, as the case may be, nor will gains derived from the disposal of our Class A Ordinary Shares or Class B Ordinary Shares be subject to British Virgin Islands income or corporation tax.

Material Tax Consequences Applicable to U.S. Holders of Our Class A Ordinary Shares

The following sets forth the material U.S. federal income tax consequences related to the ownership and disposition of our Class A Ordinary Shares. It is directed to U.S. Holders (as defined below) of our Class A Ordinary Shares and is based upon laws and relevant interpretations thereof in effect as of the date of this prospectus, all of which are subject to change. This description does not deal with all possible tax consequences relating to ownership and disposition of our Class A Ordinary Shares or U.S. tax laws, other than the U.S. federal income tax laws, such as the tax consequences under non-U.S. tax laws, state, local and other tax laws.

The following brief description applies only to U.S. Holders who hold Class A Ordinary Shares as capital assets and that have the U.S. dollar as their functional currency. This brief description is based on the federal income tax laws of the United States in effect as of the date of this prospectus and on U.S. Treasury regulations in effect or, in some cases, proposed, as of the date of this prospectus, as well as judicial and administrative interpretations thereof available on or before such date. All of the foregoing authorities are subject to change, which change could apply retroactively and could affect the tax consequences described below.

The brief description below of the U.S. federal income tax consequences to “U.S. Holders” will apply to you if you are a beneficial owner of Class A Ordinary Shares and you are, for U.S. federal income tax purposes,

        an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States;

        a corporation (or other entity taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) organized under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia;

        an estate whose income is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source; or

        a trust that (1) is subject to the primary supervision of a court within the United States and the control of one or more U.S. persons for all substantial decisions or (2) has a valid election in effect under applicable U.S. Treasury regulations to be treated as a U.S. person.

If a partnership (or other entities treated as a partnership for United States federal income tax purposes) is a beneficial owner of our Class A Ordinary Shares, the tax treatment of a partner in the partnership will depend upon the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. Partnerships and partners of a partnership holding our Class A Ordinary Shares are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding an investment in our Class A Ordinary Shares.

Taxation of Dividends and Other Distributions on Our Class A Ordinary Shares

Subject to the PFIC rules discussed below, the gross amount of distributions made by us to you with respect to the Class A Ordinary Shares (including the amount of any taxes withheld therefrom) will generally be includable in your gross income as dividend income on the date of receipt by you, but only to the extent that the distribution is paid out of our current or accumulated earnings and profits (as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles). With respect to corporate U.S. Holders, the dividends will not be eligible for the dividends-received deduction allowed to corporations in respect of dividends received from other U.S. corporations.

With respect to non-corporate U.S. Holders, including individual U.S. Holders, dividends will be taxed at the lower capital gains rate applicable to qualified dividend income, provided that (1) the Class A Ordinary Shares are readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States, or we are eligible for the benefits of an approved qualifying income tax treaty with the United States that includes an exchange of information program, (2) we are not a PFIC for either our taxable year in which the dividend is paid or the preceding taxable year, and (3) certain holding period requirements are met. Because there is no income tax treaty between the United States and the Cayman Islands, clause (1) above can be satisfied only if the Class A Ordinary Shares are readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States. Under U.S. Internal Revenue Service authority, Class A Ordinary Shares are considered for purpose of clause (1) above to be readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States if they are listed on certain exchanges, which presently include The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC. You are urged to consult your tax advisors regarding the availability of the lower rate for dividends paid with respect to our Class A Ordinary Shares, including the effects of any change in law after the date of this prospectus.

Dividends will constitute foreign source income for foreign tax credit limitation purposes. If the dividends are taxed as qualified dividend income (as discussed above), the amount of the dividend taken into account for purposes of calculating the foreign tax credit limitation will be limited to the gross amount of the dividend, multiplied by the reduced rate divided by the highest rate of tax normally applicable to dividends. The limitation on foreign taxes eligible for credit is calculated separately with respect to specific classes of income. For this purpose, dividends distributed by us with respect to our Class A Ordinary Shares will constitute “passive category income” but could, in the case of certain U.S. Holders, constitute “general category income.”

To the extent that the amount of the distribution exceeds our current and accumulated earnings and profits (as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles), it will be treated first as a tax-free return of your tax basis in your Class A Ordinary Shares, and to the extent the amount of the distribution exceeds your tax basis, the excess will be taxed as capital gain. We do not intend to calculate our earnings and profits under U.S. federal income tax principles. Therefore, a U.S. Holder should expect that a distribution will be treated as a dividend even if that distribution would otherwise be treated as a non-taxable return of capital or as capital gain under the rules described above.

Taxation of Dispositions of Class A Ordinary Shares

Subject to the PFIC rules discussed below, you will recognize taxable gain or loss on any sale, exchange or other taxable disposition of a share equal to the difference between the amount realized (in U.S. dollars) for the share and your tax basis (in U.S. dollars) in the Class A Ordinary Shares. The gain or loss will be capital gain or loss. If you are a non-corporate U.S. Holder, including an individual U.S. Holder, who has held the Class A Ordinary Shares for more than one year, you will generally be eligible for reduced tax rates. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations. Any such gain or loss that you recognize will generally be treated as United States source income or loss for foreign tax credit limitation purposes which will generally limit the availability of foreign tax credits.

Passive Foreign Investment Company (PFIC) Consequences

A non-U.S. corporation is considered a PFIC, as defined in Section 1297(a) of the US Internal Revenue Code, for any taxable year if either:

        at least 75% of its gross income for such taxable year is passive income; or

        at least 50% of the value of its assets (based on an average of the quarterly values of the assets during a taxable year) is attributable to assets that produce or are held for the production of passive income (the “asset test”).

135

Table of Contents

Passive income generally includes dividends, interest, rents and royalties (other than rents or royalties derived from the active conduct of a trade or business) and gains from the disposition of passive assets. We will be treated as owning our proportionate share of the assets and earning our proportionate share of the income of any other corporation in which we own, directly or indirectly, at least 25% (by value) of the stock. In determining the value and composition of our assets for purposes of the PFIC asset test, (1) the cash we raise in this offering will generally be considered to be held for the production of passive income and (2) the value of our assets must be determined based on the market value of our Class A Ordinary Shares from time to time, which could cause the value of our non-passive assets to be less than 50% of the value of all of our assets (including the cash raised in this offering) on any particular quarterly testing date for purposes of the asset test.

Based on our operations and the composition of our assets we are expected to be treated as a PFIC under the current PFIC rules. If we are a PFIC for your taxable year(s) during which you hold Class A Ordinary Shares, you will be subject to special tax rules with respect to any “excess distribution” that you receive and any gain you realize from a sale or other disposition (including a pledge) of the Class A Ordinary Shares, unless you make a “mark-to-market” election as discussed below. Distributions you receive in a taxable year that are greater than 125% of the average annual distributions you received during the shorter of the three preceding taxable years or your holding period for the Class A Ordinary Shares will be treated as an excess distribution. Under these special tax rules:

        the excess distribution or gain will be allocated ratably over your holding period for the Class A Ordinary Shares;

        the amount allocated to your current taxable year, and any amount allocated to any of your taxable year(s) prior to the first taxable year in which we were a PFIC, will be treated as ordinary income, and

        the amount allocated to each of your other taxable year(s) will be subject to the highest tax rate in effect for that year and the interest charge generally applicable to underpayments of tax will be imposed on the resulting tax attributable to each such year.

The tax liability for amounts allocated to years prior to the year of disposition or “excess distribution” cannot be offset by any net operating losses for such years, and gains (but not losses) realized on the sale of the Class A Ordinary Shares cannot be treated as capital, even if you hold the Class A Ordinary Shares as capital assets.

A U.S. Holder of “marketable stock” (as defined below) in a PFIC may make a mark-to-market election under Section 1296 of the US Internal Revenue Code for such stock to elect out of the tax treatment discussed above. If you make a mark-to-market election for first taxable year which you hold (or are deemed to hold) Class A Ordinary Shares and for which we are determined to be a PFIC, you will include in your income each year an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the fair market value of the Class A Ordinary Shares as of the close of such taxable year over your adjusted basis in such Class A Ordinary Shares, which excess will be treated as ordinary income and not capital gain. You are allowed an ordinary loss for the excess, if any, of the adjusted basis of the Class A Ordinary Shares over their fair market value as of the close of the taxable year. Such ordinary loss, however, is allowable only to the extent of any net mark-to-market gains on the Class A Ordinary Shares included in your income for prior taxable years. Amounts included in your income under a mark-to-market election, as well as gain on the actual sale or other disposition of the Class A Ordinary Shares, are treated as ordinary income. Ordinary loss treatment also applies to any loss realized on the actual sale or disposition of the Class A Ordinary Shares, to the extent that the amount of such loss does not exceed the net mark-to-market gains previously included for such Class A Ordinary Shares. Your basis in the Class A Ordinary Shares will be adjusted to reflect any such income or loss amounts. If you make a valid mark-to-market election, the tax rules that apply to distributions by corporations which are not PFICs would apply to distributions by us, except that the lower applicable capital gains rate for qualified dividend income discussed above under “— Taxation of Dividends and Other Distributions on our Class A Ordinary Shares” generally would not apply.

The mark-to-market election is available only for “marketable stock,” which is stock that is traded in other than de minimis quantities on at least 15 days during each calendar quarter (“regularly traded”) on a qualified exchange or other market (as defined in applicable U.S. Treasury regulations), including Nasdaq. If the Class A Ordinary Shares are regularly traded on Nasdaq and if you are a holder of Class A Ordinary Shares, the mark-to-market election would be available to you were we to be or become a PFIC.

Alternatively, a U.S. Holder of stock in a PFIC may make a “qualified electing fund” election under Section 1295(b) of the US Internal Revenue Code with respect to such PFIC to elect out of the tax treatment discussed above. A U.S. Holder who makes a valid qualified electing fund election with respect to a PFIC will generally include in gross income for

136

Table of Contents

a taxable year such holder’s pro rata share of the corporation’s earnings and profits for the taxable year. The qualified electing fund election, however, is available only if such PFIC provides such U.S. Holder with certain information regarding its earnings and profits as required under applicable U.S. Treasury regulations. We do not currently intend to prepare or provide the information that would enable you to make a qualified electing fund election. If you hold Class A Ordinary Shares in any taxable year in which we are a PFIC, you will be required to file U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form 8621 in each such year and provide certain annual information regarding such Class A Ordinary Shares, including regarding distributions received on the Class A Ordinary Shares and any gain realized on the disposition of the Class A Ordinary Shares.

If you do not make a timely “mark-to-market” election (as described above), and if we were a PFIC at any time during the period you hold our Class A Ordinary Shares, then such Class A Ordinary Shares will continue to be treated as stock of a PFIC with respect to you even if we cease to be a PFIC in a future year, unless you make a “purging election” for the year we cease to be a PFIC. A “purging election” creates a deemed sale of such Class A Ordinary Shares at their fair market value on the last day of the last year in which we are treated as a PFIC. The gain recognized by the purging election will be subject to the special tax and interest charge rules treating the gain as an excess distribution, as described above. As a result of the purging election, you will have a new basis (equal to the fair market value of the Class A Ordinary Shares on the last day of the last year in which we are treated as a PFIC) and holding period (which new holding period will begin the day after such last day) in your Class A Ordinary Shares for tax purposes.

IRC Section 1014(a) provides for a step-up in basis to the fair market value for our Class A Ordinary Shares when inherited from a decedent that was previously a holder of our Class A Ordinary Shares. However, if we are determined to be a PFIC and a decedent that was a U.S. Holder did not make either a timely qualified electing fund election for our first taxable year as a PFIC in which the U.S. Holder held (or was deemed to hold) our Class A Ordinary Shares, or a mark-to-market election and ownership of those Class A Ordinary Shares are inherited, a special provision in IRC Section 1291(e) provides that the new U.S. Holder’s basis should be reduced by an amount equal to the Section 1014 basis minus the decedent’s adjusted basis just before death. As such if we are determined to be a PFIC at any time prior to a decedent’s passing, the PFIC rules will cause any new U.S. Holder that inherits our Class A Ordinary Shares from a U.S. Holder to not get a step-up in basis under Section 1014 and instead will receive a carryover basis in those Class A Ordinary Shares.

You are urged to consult your tax advisors regarding the application of the PFIC rules to your investment in our Class A Ordinary Shares and the elections discussed above.

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding

Dividend payments with respect to our Class A Ordinary Shares and proceeds from the sale, exchange or redemption of our Class A Ordinary Shares may be subject to information reporting to the U.S. Internal Revenue Service and possible U.S. backup withholding under Section 3406 of the US Internal Revenue Code with at a current flat rate of 24%. Backup withholding will not apply, however, to a U.S. Holder who furnishes a correct taxpayer identification number and makes any other required certification on U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or who is otherwise exempt from backup withholding. U.S. Holders who are required to establish their exempt status generally must provide such certification on U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-9. U.S. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the application of the U.S. information reporting and backup withholding rules.

Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Amounts withheld as backup withholding may be credited against your U.S. federal income tax liability, and you may obtain a refund of any excess amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules by filing the appropriate claim for refund with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service and furnishing any required information. We do not intend to withhold taxes for individual shareholders. Transactions effected through certain brokers or other intermediaries, however, may be subject to withholding taxes (including backup withholding), and such brokers or intermediaries may be required by law to withhold such taxes.

Under the Hiring Incentives to Restore Employment Act of 2010, certain U.S. Holders are required to report information relating to our Class A Ordinary Shares, subject to certain exceptions (including an exception for Class A Ordinary Shares held in accounts maintained by certain financial institutions), by attaching a complete Internal Revenue Service Form 8938, Statement of Specified Foreign Financial Assets, with their tax return for each year in which they hold Class A Ordinary Shares.

The underwriters are offering the Class A Ordinary Shares subject to their acceptance of the Class A Ordinary Shares from us and subject to prior sale. The underwriting agreement provides that the obligations of the underwriters to pay for and accept delivery of the Class A Ordinary Shares offered by this prospectus are subject to the approval of certain legal matters by their counsel and to other conditions. The underwriters are obligated to take and pay for all of the Class A Ordinary Shares offered by this prospectus if any such Class A Ordinary Shares are taken. However, the underwriters are not required to take or pay for the Class A Ordinary Shares covered by the underwriters’ over-allotment option to purchase additional Class A Ordinary Shares described below.

Over-Allotment Option

We have granted the underwriters an over-allotment option. This option, which is exercisable for up to [•] days after the date of this prospectus, permits the underwriters to purchase a maximum of [•] additional Class A Ordinary Shares at the initial public offering price listed on the cover page of this prospectus, less underwriting discounts. The underwriters may exercise this option solely for the purpose of covering over-allotments, if any, made in connection with this offering. To the extent the option is exercised, each underwriter will become obligated, subject to certain conditions, to purchase about the same percentage of the additional Class A Ordinary Shares as the number listed next to the underwriter’s name in the preceding table bears to the total number of Class A Ordinary Shares listed next to the names of all underwriters in the preceding table.

Underwriting Discounts and Expenses

The underwriters have advised us that they propose to offer the Class A Ordinary Shares to the public at the public offering price set forth on the cover page of this prospectus and to certain dealers at that price less a concession. The underwriters may allow, and certain dealers may reallow, a discount from the concession to certain brokers and dealers. After this offering, the public offering price, concession, and reallowance to dealers may be changed by the Representative. No such change shall change the amount of proceeds to be received by us as set forth on the cover page of this prospectus. The Class A Ordinary Shares are offered by the underwriters as stated herein, subject to receipt and acceptance by them and subject to their right to reject any order in whole or in part. The underwriters have informed us that they do not intend to confirm sales to any accounts over which they exercise discretionary authority.

The following table shows the public offering price, underwriting discount, and proceeds, before expenses, to us.

Table of Contents

We paid an expense deposit of $[•] to the Representative upon the execution of letter of intent between us and the Representative. Any expense deposits will be returned to us to the extent the Representative’s out-of-pocket accountable expenses are not actually incurred in accordance with FINRA Rule 5110(g)(4)(A). In addition, we agreed to pay the Representative [•]% of the gross proceeds of the offering for non-accountable expenses.

We estimate that expenses payable by us in connection with this offering, other than the underwriting discounts referred to above and Representative’s non-accountable expenses, will be approximately $[•], including a maximum aggregate reimbursement of $[•] of Representative’s accountable expenses.

Representative’s Warrants

We have also agreed to issue to the Representative and its affiliates or employees warrants to purchase a number of Class A Ordinary Shares equal to [•]% of the total number of Class A Ordinary Shares sold in this offering, including any shares issued upon exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option.

The Representative’s Warrants will have an exercise price per share equal to [•]% of the public offering price per share in this offering and may be exercised on a cashless basis. The Representative’s Warrants are exercisable commencing [•] months following the date of commencement of sales of the public offering, and will be exercisable until such warrants expire [•] years after the date of commencement of sales of the public offering. The Representative’s Warrants and the Class A Ordinary Shares underlying the warrants have been deemed compensation by FINRA and are therefore subject to a [•]-day lock-up pursuant to FINRA Rule 5110(e)(1). The Representative and its affiliates or employees (or permitted assignees under FINRA Rule 5110(e)(1)) may not sell, transfer, assign, pledge, or hypothecate the Representative’s Warrants or the Class A Ordinary Shares underlying the Representative’s Warrants, nor will they engage in any hedging, short sale, derivative, put, or call transaction that would result in the effective economic disposition of the Representative’s Warrants or the underlying shares for a period of [•] days following the date of commencement of sales of the public offering except as permitted by FINRA Rule 5110(e)(2), except that (i) they may be transferred, in whole or in part, to any member participating in the offering and its officers or partners, its registered persons or affiliates, if all transferred securities remain subject to the lock-up restriction for the remainder of the [•]-day lock-up period pursuant to FINRA Rule 5110(e)(2)(B)(i), (ii) they may be exercised or converted, in whole or in part, if all securities received remain subject to the lock-up restriction for the for the remainder of the [•]-day lock-up period, (iii) they may be transferred back to the issuer in a transaction exempt from registration with the SEC, or other exceptions as provided under FIRNA Rule 5110(e)(2). The Representative and its affiliates or employees will also be entitled to one demand registration of the sale of the shares underlying the Representative’s Warrants at our expense, one additional demand registration at the Representative’s Warrants’ holders’ expense, and unlimited “piggyback” registration rights. The Representative’s Warrants will provide for adjustment in the number and price of such warrants and the shares underlying such warrants in the event of recapitalization, merger, or other structural transaction to prevent mechanical dilution. The piggyback registration right provided will not be greater than [•] years from the date of commencement of sales of the offering in compliance with FINRA Rule 5110(g)(8)(D).

Listing

We plan to apply to list our Class A Ordinary Shares on Nasdaq under the symbol “KTA.” At this time, Nasdaq has not yet approved our application to list our Class A Ordinary Shares. The closing of this offering is conditioned upon Nasdaq’s final approval of our listing application, and there is no assurance that our Class A Ordinary Shares will be approved for listing on Nasdaq.

Indemnification; Indemnification Escrow

We have agreed to indemnify the underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act and liabilities arising from breaches of representations and warranties contained in the underwriting agreement, or to contribute to payments that the underwriters may be required to make in respect of those liabilities.

Lock-Up Agreements

We have agreed that we will not (i) offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, lend, or otherwise transfer or dispose of (including entering into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequence of ownership of our capital shares), directly or indirectly, any of our Class A Ordinary Shares

139

Table of Contents

or any securities that are convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for our Class A Ordinary Shares, (ii) file or cause to be filed any registration statement with the SEC relating to the offering of any Class A Ordinary Shares or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Class A Ordinary Shares, or (iii) complete any offering of our debt securities, other than entering into a line of credit with a traditional bank, without the prior written consent of the Representative for a period ending [•] days after the commencement of sales of the offering, except issuances pursuant to the exercise of employee share options outstanding on the date hereof and certain other exceptions.

Each of our directors, officers, and shareholders owning 5% or more of our Class A Ordinary Shares as of the date of the prospectus has agreed, for a period of [•] days from the date of this prospectus, subject to certain exceptions, not to offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, lend or otherwise transfer, or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any of our Class A Ordinary Shares and securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for our Class A Ordinary Shares, without the prior written consent of the Representative.

Pricing of the Offering

Prior to this offering, there has been no public market for our Class A Ordinary Shares. The initial public offering price for the Class A Ordinary Shares will be determined through negotiations between us and the representative. Among the factors to be considered in these negotiations will be prevailing market conditions, our financial information, market valuations of other companies that we and the Representative believe to be comparable to us, estimate of our business potential and earning prospects, the present state of our development, and other factors deemed relevant. The offering price stated on the cover page of this prospectus should not be considered an indication of the actual value of the shares of Class A Ordinary Shares sold in the offering. The values of such Class A Ordinary Shares are subject to change as a result of market conditions and other factors. We offer no assurances that the offering price will correspond to the price at which our Class A Ordinary Shares will trade in the public market subsequent to this offering or that an active trading market for our Class A Ordinary Shares will develop and continue after this offering.

Electronic Offer, Sale, and Distribution of Class A Ordinary Shares

A prospectus in electronic format may be made available on the Internet sites or through other online services maintained by one or more underwriters participating in this offering, or by their affiliates. In those cases, prospective investors may view offering terms online and, depending upon the particular underwriter, prospective investors may be allowed to place orders online. The underwriters may agree with us to allocate a specific number of Class A Ordinary Shares for sale to online brokerage account holders. Any such allocation for online distributions will be made by the underwriters on the same basis as other allocations. Other than the prospectus in electronic format, the information on, or that can be accessed through, any underwriter’s website and any information contained in any other website maintained by an underwriter is not part of, and is not incorporated by reference into, this prospectus or the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, has not been approved and/or endorsed by us or the underwriters, and it should not be relied upon by investors.

Price Stabilization, Short Positions, and Penalty Bids

In connection with this offering, the underwriters may engage in transactions that stabilize, maintain, or otherwise affect the price of our Class A Ordinary Shares. Specifically, the underwriters may sell more Class A Ordinary Shares than they are obligated to purchase under the underwriting agreement, creating a short position. A short sale is covered if the short position is no greater than the number of Class A Ordinary Shares available for purchase by the underwriters under the option to purchase additional Class A Ordinary Shares. The underwriters can close out a covered short sale by exercising the option to purchase additional Class A Ordinary Shares or purchasing Class A Ordinary Shares in the open market. In determining the source of Class A Ordinary Shares to close out a covered short sale, the underwriters will consider, among other things, the open market price of Class A Ordinary Shares compared to the price available under the option to purchase additional Class A Ordinary Shares. The underwriters may also sell Class A Ordinary Shares in excess of the option to purchase additional Class A Ordinary Shares, creating a naked short position. The underwriters must close out any naked short position by purchasing Class A Ordinary Shares in the open market. A naked short position is more likely to be created if the underwriters are concerned that there may be downward pressure on the price of the Class A Ordinary Shares in the open market after pricing that could adversely affect investors who purchase in the offering.

140

Table of Contents

The underwriters may also impose a penalty bid. This occurs when a particular underwriter or dealer repays selling concessions allowed to it for distributing our Class A Ordinary Shares in this offering because such underwriter repurchases those Class A Ordinary Shares in stabilizing or short covering transactions.

Finally, the underwriters may bid for, and purchase, our Class A Ordinary Shares in market making transactions, including “passive” market making transactions as described below.

These activities may stabilize or maintain the market price of our Class A Ordinary Shares at a price that is higher than the price that might otherwise exist in the absence of these activities. The underwriters are not required to engage in these activities, and may discontinue any of these activities at any time without notice. These transactions may be effected on Nasdaq, in the over-the-counter market, or otherwise.

Passive Market Making

In connection with this offering, the underwriters may engage in passive market making transactions in our Class A Ordinary Shares on Nasdaq in accordance with Rule 103 of Regulation M under the Exchange Act, during a period before the commencement of offers or sales of the Class A Ordinary Shares and extending through the completion of the distribution. A passive market maker must display its bid at a price not in excess of the highest independent bid of that security. However, if all independent bids are lowered below the passive market maker’s bid, then that bid must then be lowered when specified purchase limits are exceeded.

Potential Conflicts of Interest

The underwriters and their affiliates may, from time to time, engage in transactions with and perform services for us in the ordinary course of their business for which they may receive customary fees and reimbursement of expenses. In the ordinary course of their various business activities, the underwriters and their affiliates may make or hold a broad array of investments and actively trade debt and equity securities (or related derivative securities) and financial instruments (including bank loans) for their own accounts and for the accounts of their customers and such investment and securities activities may involve securities and/or instruments of our Company. The underwriters and their affiliates may also make investment recommendations and/or publish or express independent research views in respect of such securities or instruments and may at any time hold, or recommend to clients that they acquire, long and/or short positions in such securities and instruments.

Other Relationships

The underwriters and certain of their affiliates are full service financial institutions engaged in various activities, which may include securities trading, commercial and investment banking, financial advisory, investment management, investment research, principal investment, hedging, financing, and brokerage activities. Some of the underwriters and certain of their affiliates may in the future engage in investment banking and other commercial dealings in the ordinary course of business with us and our affiliates, for which they may in the future receive customary fees, commissions, and expenses.

In addition, in the ordinary course of their business activities, the underwriters and their affiliates may make or hold a broad array of investments and actively trade debt and equity securities (or related derivative securities) and financial instruments (including bank loans) for their own account and for the accounts of their customers. Such investments and securities activities may involve securities and/or instruments of ours or our affiliates. The underwriters and their affiliates may also make investment recommendations and/or publish or express independent research views in respect of such securities or financial instruments and may hold, or recommend to clients that they acquire, long, and/or short positions in such securities and instruments.

Stamp Taxes

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Kingtitan Technology Limited

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Kingtitan Technology Limited (the Company) as of March 31, 2023 and 2022, and the related consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss, changes in shareholders’ equity, and statements of cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended March 31, 2023, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2023 and 2022, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended March 31, 2023, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring significant losses and has an accumulated deficiency in shareholders’ equity. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to this matter are also discussed in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2023

KINGTITAN TECHNOLOGY LIMITED AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
As of March 31, 2023 and 2022

(Amount in U.S. dollars, except for share and per share data, or otherwise noted)

Note 1 — Nature of business and organization

KINGTITAN TECHNOLOGY LIMITED (“Company”) is a holding company that was incorporated under the laws of Cayman Islands on October 29, 2021. The Company conducts its business operations in China through the operating entity, Guangxi Yulin Kingtitan Technology Co., Ltd. (“Yulin KTA”). Yulin KTA is principally engaged in developing, manufacturing and selling non-pneumatic tires and aims to become a leading provider of non-pneumatic tires and a technology pioneer, ushering changes to the tire industry in China.

Yulin KTA’s current product portfolio comprises three main types of non-pneumatic tires categorized by applications, including sanitation industry truck tires, pan-travel tires and intelligent robot tires. In addition to selling non-pneumatic tires, Yulin KTA also generates revenue by selling other products, such as tire loading machines and wheel hubs.

Reorganization

A reorganization of the Company’s corporate structure was completed on October 13, 2023. The reorganization involved the incorporation of the Company, and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, KINGTITAN (BVI) LIMITED (“KTA BVI”), KINGTITAN (HK) LIMITED (“KTA HK”) and Kingtitan Technology (Luchuan) Co., Ltd. (“KTA WFOE”); and the transfer of 88.2353% of equity ownership of Yulin KTA to KTA WFOE from the former shareholders of Yulin KTA.

During the years presented in these consolidated financial statements, the control of the entities has never changed. Accordingly, the combination has been treated as a corporate restructuring (reorganization) of entities under common control and thus the current capital structure has been retroactively presented in prior periods as if such structure existed at that time and in accordance with ASC 805-50-45-5, the entities under common control are presented on a combined basis for all periods to which such entities were under common control. The consolidation of the Company and its subsidiaries has been accounted for at historical cost and prepared on the basis as if the aforementioned transactions had become effective as of the beginning of the first period presented in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

After the reorganization, the Company holds the 88.2353% equity interests in Yulin KTA through the direct wholly equity ownership of the subsidiaries KTA BVI, KTA HK and KTA WFOE. The controlling shareholder of the Company is same as of Yulin KTA prior to the reorganization. The consolidation of the Company has been prepared on the basis as if the reorganization had become effective as of the beginning of the first period presented in the consolidated financial statements.

As of the date of this prospectus, the Company’s subsidiaries are as follows:

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
As of March 31, 2023 and 2022

(Amount in U.S. dollars, except for share and per share data, or otherwise noted)

Note 2 — Summary of significant accounting policies

Basis of presentation

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). Significant accounting policies followed by the Company in the preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements are summarized below.

Principles of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries for which the Company is the ultimate primary beneficiary. All transactions and balances among the Company and its subsidiaries have been eliminated upon consolidation.

A subsidiary is an entity in which the Company, directly or indirectly, controls more than one half of the voting power, has the power to appoint or remove the majority of the members of the board of directors (the “Board”), to cast majority of votes at the meeting of the Board or to govern the financial and operating policies of the investee under a statute or agreement among the shareholders or equity holders.

Non-controlling interest represents the portion of the net assets of subsidiaries attributable to interests that are not owned or controlled by the Company. The non-controlling interest is presented in the consolidated balance sheets, separately from equity attributable to the shareholders of the Company. Non-controlling interest’s operating results are presented on the face of the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss as an allocation of the total loss for the year between non-controlling shareholders and the shareholders of the Company. As of March 31, 2023 and 2022, non-controlling interests represented a minority shareholder’s 11.7647% and 11.7647% ownership interest in Yulin KTA, respectively.

Emerging growth company

The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards.

Note 2 — Summary of significant accounting policies (cont.)

Use of estimates and assumptions

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. Significant accounting estimates reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements primarily include, but are not limited to, the determination of performance obligations and allocation of transaction price to those performance obligations, allowance for doubtful accounts, lower of cost and net realizable value of inventory, assessment for impairment of long-lived assets and intangible assets, operating right-of-use assets, recoverability of receivables, valuation of deferred tax assets.

Management bases the estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Foreign currency translation and transaction

The functional currencies of the Company are the local currency of the country in which the subsidiaries operate. The reporting currency of the Company is the United States Dollars (“U.S. dollar”). The results of operations and the consolidated statements of cash flows denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the average rates of exchange during the reporting period. Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the balance sheet date are translated at the applicable rates of exchange in effect at that date. The equity denominated in the functional currencies is translated at the historical rates of exchange at the time of capital contributions. Because cash flows are translated based on the average translation rates, amounts related to assets and liabilities reported on the consolidated statements of cash flows will not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding balances on the consolidated balance sheets. Translation adjustments arising from the use of different exchange rates from period to period are included as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income included in consolidated statements of changes in shareholders’ equity. Transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency in the consolidated statement of loss and comprehensive loss.

The functional currency of the Company, KTA BVI and KTA HK is the U.S. dollar. The Company’s subsidiaries which are incorporated in the PRC use the local currency, Renminbi (“RMB”), as their functional currencies. An entity’s functional currency is the currency of the primary economic environment in which it operates, normally that is the currency of the environment in which the entity primarily generates and expends cash. Management’s judgment is essential to determine the functional currency by assessing various indicators, such as cash flows, sales price and market, expenses, financing and inter-company transactions and arrangements.

For the purpose of presenting these financial statements of subsidiaries using RMB as functional currency, the Company’s assets and liabilities are expressed in the U.S. dollar at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date, which is 6.8676 and 6.3393 as of March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively; shareholders’ equity accounts are translated at historical rates, and income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rate during the period, which is 6.8516 and 6.4180 for the years ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Going concern

These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies that the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. For the year ended March 31, 2023, the Company had a working capital deficit of $584,884 and had an accumulated deficit of $38,973,928. The Company incurred net losses of $1,534,322 and $1,868,657 for the years ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Net cash used in operating activities was $464,233 and $1,080,246 for the years ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The Company will rely on our current cash, available banking facilities, and anticipated cash receipts from sales of

products. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its shareholders, the ability to raise equity or debt financing, and the attainment of profitable operations from the Company’s future business. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Cash

Cash is comprised of cash at banks and on hand. As of March 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company did not have any cash equivalents. Cash was held in accounts at financial institutions located in the PRC‚ which is not freely convertible into foreign currencies. In addition, these balances are not covered by insurance. Management believes that these financial institutions are of high credit quality and also continually monitors their creditworthiness. The Company and its subsidiaries have not experienced any losses in such accounts and do not believe the cash is exposed to any significant risk.

Accounts receivable, net

Accounts receivable represents the Company’s right to consideration in exchange for goods and services that the Company has transferred to the customer before payment is due. Accounts receivable are stated at the carrying amount, net of an estimated allowance for uncollectible accounts. The Company reviews on a periodic basis for doubtful accounts for the outstanding trade receivable balances based on historical collection trends, aging of receivables and other information available. In establishing the required allowance for doubtful accounts, management considers historical collection experience, aging of the receivables, the economic environment, industry trend analysis, and the credit history and financial conditions of the customers. Management reviews its receivables on a regular basis to determine if the bad debt allowance is adequate and adjusts the allowance when necessary. Delinquent account balances are written-off against allowance for doubtful accounts after all means of collection have been exhausted and that the likelihood of collection is not probable.

Prepayments

Prepayments are cash deposited or advanced to suppliers for purchasing goods or services that have not been received or provided and deposits made to the Company’s customers. This amount is refundable and bears no interest. Prepayments are classified as either current or non-current based on the terms of the respective agreements. These advances are unsecured and are reviewed periodically to determine whether their carrying value has become impaired.

Value added tax (“VAT”)

Revenue represents the invoiced value of service, net of VAT. VAT is based on the gross sales price. For Yulin KTA, the applicable VAT rate is 13% for products sold in the PRC. Entities that are VAT general taxpayers are allowed to offset qualified input VAT paid to suppliers against their output VAT liabilities. Net VAT balance between input VAT and output VAT is recorded in taxes payable. All of the VAT returns filed by the Company’s subsidiaries in China, have been and remain subject to examination by the tax authorities for five years from the date of filing

Deductible value-added tax input

The deductible VAT input represents the excess of VAT input arising from purchases over VAT output arising from sales under the PRC tax laws. In some circumstances, the Company may have purchased a high volume of goods in a given period with the result that the amount of VAT input for the period exceeds the amount of VAT output for the period and hence the amount of VAT output is insufficient to deduct the full amount of VAT input. In such cases, the excess VAT input recorded as deductible VAT input in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet for the period may be

carried forward to offset against VAT output in future period in accordance with PRC Tax Law. Besides the option to offset against VAT output in future period, the Company has the option to refund the deductible VAT input and receive the cash in return. As of March 31, 2023, and 2022, the Company accounted for deductible VAT input of $nil and $70,258, respectively.

Inventory, net

Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value and consists of raw materials and finished goods. Cost is calculated on the weighted average basis and includes all costs to acquire and other costs to bring the inventory to their present location and condition. The Company records adjustments to inventory for excess quantities, obsolescence, or provision, when appropriate, to reflect inventory at net realizable value. Certain factors such as changes in demand of the Company’s products or more competitors in the non-pneumatic tire manufacturing industry could impact the net realizable value of inventory. The Company continually evaluates the recoverability based on assumptions of customer demand and market conditions. Assumptions are made on the analysis of the Company’s recent sales of its products volume and the physical condition of inventory.

Inventory provision of $5,741 and $24,643 was recognized for the years ended March 31, 2023 and 2022.

Other receivables, net

Other receivables primarily include loans provided to employee. Management regularly reviews the aging of receivables and changes in payment trends and records allowances when management believes collection of amounts due are at risk. Accounts considered uncollectable are written off against allowances after exhaustive efforts at collection are made. As of March 31, 2023 and 2022, no allowances were recorded.

Property and equipment, net

Property and equipment are stated at cost net of accumulated depreciation and impairment. Depreciation is provided over the estimated useful lives of the assets using the straight-line method from the time the assets are placed in service, after considering the estimated residual value which is 0% of costs.

The estimated useful lives are as follows:

Classification

 

Estimated Useful Life

Production equipment

 

3 to 10 years

Motor vehicles

 

3 to 4 years

Office equipment

 

3 to 5 years

General equipment

 

3 to 10 years

Leasehold improvement

 

3 years

The cost and related accumulated depreciation of assets sold or otherwise retired are eliminated from the accounts and any gain or loss is included in the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs, which do not materially extend the useful lives of the assets, are charged to earnings as incurred, while additions, renewals and betterments, which are expected to extend the useful life of assets, are capitalized. The Company also re-evaluates the periods of depreciation to determine whether subsequent events and circumstances warrant revised estimates of useful lives.

Note 2 — Summary of significant accounting policies (cont.)

Intangible assets, net

Intangible assets are carried at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment, if any. Intangible assets are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives as below:

Classification

 

Useful lives

Patent rights

 

10 to 20 years

The Company’s intangible assets with definite useful lives primarily consist of patent rights. The Company typically amortizes its intangible assets with definite useful lives on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the contractual terms or the estimated useful lives of ten years or twenty years. In accordance with Article 42 of the Patent Law of the people’s Republic of China, management clearly confirm that the term of patent right for invention is 20 years, and that for utility model and design patent is 10 years.

Leases

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 842, Leases, to require lessees to recognize all leases, with certain exceptions, on the balance sheets, while recognition on the statement of operations will remain similar to lease accounting under ASC 840. Subsequently, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-10, Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases, ASU No. 2018-11, Targeted Improvements, ASU No. 2018-20, Narrow-Scope Improvements for Lessors, and ASU 2019-01, Codification Improvements, to clarify and amend the guidance in ASU No. 2016-02. ASC 842 eliminates real estate-specific provisions and modifies certain aspects of lessor accounting.

The Company adopted the ASUs as of January 1, 2019 using the cumulative effect adjustment approach. Upon adoption, the Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard, which allowed the Company to carry forward the historical determination of contracts as leases, lease classification and not reassess initial direct costs for historical lease arrangements. In addition, the Company also elected the practical expedient to apply consistently to all of the Company’s leases to use hindsight in determining the lease term (that is, when considering lessee options to extend or terminate the lease and to purchase the underlying asset) and in assessing impairment of the Company’s right-of-use (“ROU”) assets.

All leases of the Company are currently classified as operating leases. Operating leases are included in operating ROU assets and deferred government grants on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2023 and 2022. Please refer to Note 11 — Leases for the disclosures regarding the Company’s leases.

Impairment of long-lived assets

Long-lived assets, including property and equipment and intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances (such as a significant adverse change to market conditions that will impact the future use of the assets) indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. The Company assesses the recoverability of the assets based on the undiscounted future cash flows the assets are expected to generate and recognize an impairment loss when estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset plus net proceeds expected from disposition of the asset, if any, are less than the carrying value of the asset. If an impairment is identified, the Company will reduce the carrying amount of the asset to its estimated fair value based on a discounted cash flows approach or, when available and appropriate, to comparable market values. For the years ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, no impairment of long-lived assets was recognized.

Contract liabilities

Cash proceeds received from customers before product delivery is recognized as contract liabilities and is recognized as revenues when revenue recognition criteria are met.

The cash received from customers prior to the delivery of goods as of March 31, 2023 and 2022 was $11,219 and $13,192, respectively. The revenue recognized during the years ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 for the beginning balance of contract liability was $4,965 and $30,967, respectively. The balance as of March 31, 2023 is expected to be recognized as revenues after the delivery of the goods.

Fair value measurement

The accounting standard regarding fair value of financial instruments and related fair value measurements defines financial instruments and requires disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments held by the Company.

The accounting standards define fair value, establish a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement and enhance disclosure requirements for fair value measures. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

        Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

        Level 2 inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the assets or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instruments.

        Level 3 inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value.

Unless otherwise disclosed, the fair value of the Company’s financial instruments including cash, accounts receivable, other receivables, amounts due from (to) related parties, long-term employee loans, short-term bank borrowings, accounts payable, contract liabilities and payroll accrual approximate their recorded values due to their short-term maturities. The fair value of longer-term leases approximates their recorded values as their stated interest rates approximate the rates currently available.

Revenue recognition

The Company elected to adopt ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASC 606), effective as of January 1, 2019. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements for the years ended March, 2023 and 2022 are presented under ASC 606.

Under ASC 606, the core principle requires an entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that it expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for those goods or services recognized as performance obligations are satisfied. ASC 606 establishes principles for reporting information about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from the entity’s contracts to provide goods or services to customers. This new guidance provides a five-step analysis in determining when and how revenue is recognized. The five-step model requires that the Company:

Step 1: Identify the contract (s) with a customer

Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract

Step 3: Determine the transaction price

Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract

Step 5: Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation

Note 2 — Summary of significant accounting policies (cont.)

The application of the five-step model to the revenue streams compared to the prior guidance did not result in significant changes in the way the Company records its revenue. Upon adoption, the Company evaluated its revenue recognition policy for all revenue streams within the scope of the ASU under previous standards and using the five-step model under the new guidance and confirmed that there were no differences in the pattern of revenue recognition. The Company applied practical expedient when sales taxes were collected from customers, meaning sales tax is recorded net of revenue, instead of cost of revenue, which are subsequently remitted to governmental authorities and are excluded from the transaction price.

The contract with the customer contains only one performance obligation. Companies sign different contracts with customers for different businesses, and each contract contains only one kind of performance obligation.

When either party to a contract has performed, the Company presents the contract in the statement of financial position as a contract asset or a contract liability, depending on the relationship between the entity’s performance and the customer’s payment.

A contract asset is the Company’s right to consideration in exchange for goods and services that the Company has transferred to a customer. A receivable is recorded when the Company has an unconditional right to consideration. A right to consideration is unconditional if only the passage of time is required before payment of that consideration is due.

If a customer pays consideration or the Company has a right to an amount of consideration that is unconditional, before the Company transfers a good or service to the customer, the Company presents the contract liability when the payment is made, or a receivable is recorded (whichever is earlier). A contract liability is the Company’s obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer for which the Company has received consideration (or an amount of consideration is due) from the customer. The Company’s contract liabilities primarily resulted from the multiple performance obligations identified in the product sales contract, which is recorded as deferred government grants and contract liabilities.

The Company’s revenue recognition policies effective upon the adoption of ASC 606 is as follows:

The Company’s revenues are mainly generated from sales of non-pneumatic tires. The Company’s current product portfolio mainly comprises three types of non-pneumatic tires categorized by applications, including sanitation industry truck tires, pan-travel tires and intelligent robot tires. In addition to selling non-pneumatic tires, the Company also generates revenue by selling other products, such as tire loading machines and wheel hubs.

Sales contract clearly stipulates the product sales obligations. The Company enters a contract with customers for sales of products. According to the contract, the customer is required to place orders and a certain amount of payment in advance is required after receiving the order, which means the payments are received prior to the transfer of tires. The Company records a contract liability for the allocated amount regarding those unperformed obligations. The remaining consideration shall be settled after the delivery of the products.

The standard warranty provided by the Company to the customer is accounted for in accordance with ASC 460, Guarantees, and the estimated costs are recorded as a liability when the Company transfers the control of tires to a customer.

Revenues represent the amount of consideration that the Company is entitled to in exchange for the transfer of promised goods or services in the ordinary course of the Company’s activities and is recorded net of VAT. Consistent with the criteria of ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue when the performance obligation in a contract is satisfied by transferring the control of promised goods or services to the customer.

Note 2 — Summary of significant accounting policies (cont.)

Principal and Agent Considerations

Based on the Company’s evaluation using a control model, the Company determined that in all of its major business activities, it serves as a principal rather than an agent within their revenue arrangements in accordance with ASC 606-10-55-36 to 39. The reasons are as follows:

(a)     The Company is primarily responsible for fulfilling the promise to provide the specified goods.

(b)    The Company is the party responsible for inventory risk.

(c)     The Company is the only party to establish the contract price with customer.

Revenue and the associated costs of product sales are both reported on a gross basis within the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss.

Cost of revenues

Cost of revenues consists of the cost of raw material, direct labor and manufacturing costs. During the production process, production department records the consumption quantity of raw material and production hours of each order. Cost of raw material is allocated according to the consumption of the material. Direct labor and manufacturing costs are allocated according to the rate of capacity utilization.

Research and development expenses

R&D expenses primarily include (i) employee compensation, such as salaries, benefits and bonuses for R&D personnels, (ii) design and development expenses, primarily including design expenses and R&D technology expenses paid to third party suppliers, (iii) materials and supplies expenses related to materials for testing purposes, and (iv) other expenses. All costs related to research and development are incurred as actually incurred.

Sales and marketing expenses

Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of marketing and promotional expenses, salaries and other compensation-related expenses to sales and marketing personnel. Advertising expenses consist primarily of costs for the promotion of corporate image and product marketing. The Company expenses all advertising costs as incurred and classifies these costs under sales and marketing expenses. For the years ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, sales and marketing expenses totaled $270,668 and $356,078, respectively.

General and administrative expenses

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries, bonuses, and benefits for employees involved in general corporate functions, depreciation and amortization of fixed assets, legal and other professional services fees, rental and other general corporate related expenses. For the years ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, general and administrative expenses totaled $1,356,595 and $1,429,297, respectively.

Deferred initial public offering (‘IPO’) costs

The Company complies with the requirement of the ASC 340-10-S99-1 and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) Topic 5A — “Expenses of Offering”. Deferred offering costs are expenses directly related to the Company’s planned initial public offering (“IPO”). Deferred offering costs will be charged to shareholders’ equity upon the completion of the IPO. As of March 31, 2023 and 2022, deferred IPO costs were $534,827 and $515,408, respectively.

Note 2 — Summary of significant accounting policies (cont.)

Employee benefits

Full time employees of the Company in the PRC participate in a government mandated defined contribution plan, pursuant to which certain pension benefits, medical care, employee housing fund and other welfare benefits are provided to the employees. Chinese labor regulations require that the PRC subsidiaries of the Company make contributions to the government for these benefits based on certain percentages of the employees’ salaries, up to a maximum amount specified by the local government. The Company has no legal obligation for the benefits beyond the contributions made. Total amounts of such employee benefit expenses, which were expensed as incurred, were approximately $91,682 and $93,119 for the years ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Government subsidies

Government subsidies includes rental-free leases and cash subsidies received from local government. The Company recorded cash subsidies as other income on consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss when there is no further performance obligation.

The Company recorded government subsidies in relation to rental-free leases as deferred government grants on consolidated balance sheets and other income on consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss when the government specified performance obligation is satisfied.

During the years ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company recognized government subsidies of $273,876 and $255,977, respectively, in other income. As of March 31, 2023 and 2022, the deferred government grants was $138,264 and $349,503, respectively.

Income taxes

Current income taxes are recorded in accordance with the regulations of the relevant tax jurisdiction. The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method in accordance with ASC 740, Income Tax. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the tax consequences attributable to differences between carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities in the consolidated financial statements and their respective tax basis, and operating loss carry-forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss in the period of change. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce the amount of deferred tax assets if it is considered more likely than not that amount of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

Comprehensive income (loss)

Comprehensive income (loss) consists of two components, net income (loss) and other comprehensive income (loss). Other comprehensive income (loss) refers to revenue, expenses, gains and losses that under GAAP are recorded as an element of shareholders’ equity but are excluded from net income. Other comprehensive income (loss) consists of a foreign currency translation adjustment resulting from the Company not using the U.S. dollar as its functional currencies.

Loss per share

The Company computes loss per share in accordance with ASC 260, “Earnings per Share”. ASC 260 requires companies to present basic and diluted loss per share. Basic loss per share is measured as net loss divided by the weighted average ordinary shares outstanding for the period. Diluted loss per share presents the dilutive effect on a per share basis of the potential ordinary shares (e.g., convertible securities, options and warrants) as if they had been converted at the beginning of the periods presented, or issuance date, if later. Potential ordinary shares that have an anti-dilutive effect (i.e., those that increase income per share or decrease loss per share) are excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share. For the years ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, there were no dilutive shares.

Note 2 — Summary of significant accounting policies (cont.)

Statutory reserves

Pursuant to the laws applicable to the PRC, PRC entities must make appropriations from after-tax profit to the non-distributable “statutory surplus reserve fund”. Subject to certain cumulative limits, the “statutory surplus reserve fund” requires annual appropriations of 10% of after-tax profit until the aggregated appropriations reach 50% of the registered capital (as determined under accounting principles generally accepted in the PRC (“PRC GAAP”) at each year-end). For foreign invested enterprises and joint ventures in the PRC, annual appropriations should be made to the “reserve fund”. For foreign invested enterprises, the annual appropriation for the “reserve fund” cannot be less than 10% of after-tax profits until the aggregated appropriations reach 50% of the registered capital (as determined under PRC GAAP at each year-end). If the Company has accumulated loss from prior periods, the Company is able to use the current period net income after tax to offset against the accumulate loss. As of March 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company’s PRC subsidiaries collectively attributed $nil and $nil of retained earnings for their statutory reserves, respectively.

Segment reporting

The Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) has been identified as its CEO, who reviews the consolidated results when making decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance of the Company as a whole and hence, the Company has only one reportable segment. The Company does not distinguish between markets or segments for the purpose of internal reporting. The Company’s long-lived assets are substantially all located in the PRC and all of the Company’s revenues are derived from the PRC.

Related parties

In general, related parties exist when there is a relationship that offers the potential for transactions at less than arm’s-length, favorable treatment, or the ability to influence the outcome of events different from that which might result in the absence of that relationship. A related party may be any of the followings: a) affiliate, a party that directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with another party; b) principle owner, the owner of record or known beneficial owner of more than 10% of the voting interest of an entity; c) management, persons having responsibility for achieving objectives of the entity and requisite authority to make decision; d) immediate family of management or principal owners; e) a parent company and its subsidiaries; f) other parties that has ability to significant influence the management or operating policies of the entity.

Significant risks and uncertainties

(a) Foreign currency risk

A majority of the Company’s expense transactions are denominated in RMB and a significant portion of the Company and its subsidiaries’ assets and liabilities are denominated in RMB. RMB is not freely convertible into foreign currencies. In the PRC, certain foreign exchange transactions are required by law to be transacted only by authorized financial institutions at exchange rates set by the People’s Bank of China (“PBOC”). It is difficult to predict how market forces or PRC or U.S. government policy may impact the exchange rate between the RMB and the U.S. dollar in the future. The change in the value of the RMB relative to the U.S. dollar may affect the Company’s financial results reported in the U.S. dollar terms without giving effect to any underlying changes in the Company’s business or results of operations. Remittances in currencies other than RMB by the Company in China must be processed through the PBOC or other China foreign exchange regulatory bodies which require certain supporting documentation for the remittance.

Note 2 — Summary of significant accounting policies (cont.)

As a result, the Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk as revenues and results of operations may be affected by fluctuations in the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and RMB. If the RMB depreciates against the U.S. dollar, the value of RMB revenues, earnings and assets as expressed in U.S. dollar financial statements will decline. The Company has not entered into any hedging transactions in an effort to reduce its exposure to foreign exchange risk.

(b) Concentration of credit risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a significant concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash. As of March 31, 2023, and 2022, substantially all of the Company’s cash were held by major financial institutions located in the PRC, which management believes are of high credit quality.

For the credit risk related to accounts receivable, the Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers. The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon estimates, factors surrounding the credit risk of specific customers and other information. The allowance amounts were immaterial for all periods presented.

(c) Interest rate risk

We have not been exposed to material risks due to changes in market interest rates, and we have not used any derivative financial instruments to manage our interest risk exposure.

After completion of this offering, we may invest the net proceeds we receive from the offering in interest-earning instruments. Investments in both fixed rate and floating rate interest earning instruments carry a degree of interest rate risk. Fixed rate securities may have their fair market value adversely impacted due to a rise in interest rates, while floating rate securities may produce less income than expected if interest rates fall.

Recent accounting pronouncements

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12 “Income Taxes (Topic 740)”. The amendments in this issuance simplify the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions, providing updated requirements and specifications in certain areas and by making minor codification improvements. The amendments in this issuance are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within that fiscal year. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not believe the adoption of this guidance may have a material impact on its financial statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326), which requires entities to measure all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. This replaces the existing incurred loss model and is applicable to the measurement of credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-10 which defers the effective date of ASU 2016-13 for SEC filers that are eligible to be smaller reporting companies, non-SEC filers, and all other companies to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-13 on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Except for the above-mentioned pronouncements, there are no new recent issued accounting standards that will have material impact on the consolidated balance sheets, statements of loss and comprehensive loss and statements of cash flows.

In some circumstances, the Company may have purchased a high volume of goods in a given period with the result that the amount of VAT input for the period exceeds the amount of VAT output for the period and hence the amount of VAT output is insufficient to deduct the full amount of VAT input. In such cases, the excess VAT input recorded as deductible VAT input in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet for the period may be carried forward to offset against VAT output in future period in accordance with PRC Tax Law. Besides the option to offset against VAT output in future period, the Company has the option to refund the deductible VAT input and receive the cash in return.

PRC

The PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law (“EIT Law”), which became effective on January 1, 2008, applies a uniform enterprise income tax (“EIT”) rate of 25% to both foreign-invested enterprises (“FIEs”) and domestic enterprises.

During this three-year period, an HNTE must conduct a qualification self-review each year to ensure it meets the HNTE criteria and is eligible for the 15% preferential tax rate for that year. If an HNTE fails to meet the criteria for qualification as an HNTE in any year, the enterprise cannot enjoy the 15% preferential tax rate in that year, and must instead use the regular 25% EIT rate. For the years ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, Yulin KTA were eligible to employ this policy.

On March 26, 2023, the MOF and SAT jointly issued Announcement of State Administration of Taxation of Ministry of Finance 2023 No. 6. Updated the preferential tax policies, so eligible small enterprises whose first RMB 1,000,000 of annual taxable income is eligible for 25% reduction on a rate of 20% (i.e., effective rate is 5%).

The Company considers positive and negative evidence to determine whether some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will be more-likely-than-not realized. This assessment considers, among other matters, the nature, frequency and severity of recent losses and forecasts of future profitability. These assumptions require significant judgment and the forecasts of future taxable income are consistent with the plans and estimates the Company is using to manage the underlying business. The statutory income tax rate of 25% or applicable preferential income tax rates 15% were applied when calculating deferred tax assets.

The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method in accordance with ASC 740, Income Tax. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the tax consequences attributable to differences between carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities in the financial statements and their respective tax basis, and operating loss carry-forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss in the period of change. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce the amount of deferred tax assets if it is considered more likely than not that amount of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

The Company considers both positive and negative factors when assessing the future realization of the deferred tax assets and applied weigh to the relative impact of the evidences to the extent it could be objectively verified. Management considers projected future losses outweighs other factors and made a full allowance of related deferred tax assets.

Note 19 — Condensed financial information of the parent company

The Company’s PRC subsidiaries are restricted in their ability to transfer a portion of their net assets to the Company. Payment of dividends by entities organized in the PRC are subject to limitations, procedures and formalities. Regulations in the PRC currently permit payments of dividends only out of accumulated profits as determined in accordance with accounting standards and regulations in the PRC. The Company’s PRC subsidiaries are also required to set aside at least 10% of its after-tax profit based on PRC accounting standards each year to its statutory reserves account until the accumulative amount of such reserves reaches 50% of its respective registered capital. The aforementioned reserves can only be used for specific purposes and are not distributable as cash dividends.

In addition, the Company’s operations and revenues are conducted and generated in the PRC, all of the Company’s revenue being earned and currency received is denominated in RMB. RMB is subject to the foreign exchange control regulation in China, and, as a result, the Company may be unable to distribute any dividends outside of China due to PRC foreign exchange control regulations that restrict the Company’s ability to convert RMB into USD.

Regulation S-X requires that the condensed financial information of registrant shall be filed when the restricted net assets of consolidated subsidiaries exceed 25 percent of consolidated net assets as of the end of the most recently completed fiscal year. For purposes of the above test, restricted net assets of consolidated subsidiaries shall mean that amount of the registrant’s proportionate share of net assets of consolidated subsidiaries (after intercompany eliminations) which as of the end of the most recent fiscal year may not be transferred to the parent company by subsidiaries in the form of loans, advances or cash dividends without the consent of a third party. The condensed parent company financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Rule 12-04, Schedule I of Regulation S-X as the restricted net assets of the Company’s PRC subsidiary exceed 25% of the consolidated net assets of the Company.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. The Company’s investment in subsidiary is stated at cost plus equity in undistributed earnings of subsidiaries.

PART II

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS

ITEM 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

The Cayman Islands law does not limit the extent to which a company’s articles of association may provide for indemnification of officers and directors, except to the extent any such provision may be held by the Cayman Islands courts to be contrary to public policy, such as to provide indemnification against civil fraud or the consequences of committing a crime. Our articles of association, which will become effective upon or before completion of this offering, provide that, to the extent permitted by law, we shall indemnify each existing or former director (including alternate director), secretary and other officer of the Company and their personal representatives against: (a) all actions, proceedings, costs, charges, expenses, losses, damages or liabilities incurred or sustained by the existing or former director (including alternate director), secretary or officer in or about the conduct of the Company’s business or affairs or in the execution or discharge of the existing or former director’s (including alternate director’s), secretary’s or officer’s duties, powers, authorities or discretions; and (b) all costs, expenses, losses or liabilities incurred by the existing or former director (including alternate director), secretary or officer in defending (whether successfully or otherwise) any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative proceedings (whether threatened, pending or completed) concerning the Company or its affairs in any court or tribunal, whether in the Cayman Islands or elsewhere. However, no such existing or former director (including alternate director), secretary or officer, however, shall be indemnified in respect of any matter arising out of his own dishonesty.

Pursuant to indemnification agreements, the form of which will be filed as Exhibit 10.2 to this registration statement, we will agree to indemnify our directors and officers against certain liabilities and expenses incurred by such persons in connection with claims made by reason of their being such a director or officer.

The Underwriting Agreement, the form of which will be filed as Exhibit 1.1 to this registration statement, will also provide for indemnification of us and our officers and directors.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling us pursuant to the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

ITEM 7. RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES.

During the past three years, we have issued securities which were not registered under the Securities Act. We believe that each of the issuance was exempt from registration under the Securities Act in reliance on Regulation D under the Securities Act or pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act regarding transactions not involving a public offering or in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act regarding sales by an issuer in offshore transactions. No underwriters were involved in these issuances of securities.

For recent sales of unregistered securities during the past three years, see “Description of Share Capital — History of Share Issuances.”

ITEM 9. UNDERTAKINGS.

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to provide to the Underwriters at the closing specified in the underwriting agreement, certificates in such denominations and registered in such names as required by the Underwriters to permit prompt delivery to each purchaser.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the provisions described in Item 6, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public

II-2

Table of Contents

policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

(a)     The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that:

(1)    to file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

(i)     to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;

(ii)    to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and

(iii)   to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement; provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i), (a)(1)(ii) and (a)(1)(iii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement.

(2)    that, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(3)    to remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offerings.

(4)    to file a post-effective amendment to the registration statement to include any financial statements required by Item 8.A of Form 20-F at the start of any delayed offering or throughout a continuous offering. Financial statements and information otherwise required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Act (15 U.S.C. 77j(a)(3)) need not be furnished, provided that the Registrant includes in the prospectus, by means of a post-effective amendment, financial statements required pursuant to this paragraph (a)(4) and other information necessary to ensure that all other information in the prospectus is at least as current as the date of those financial statements.

(5)    that, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser:

(i)     if the issuer is relying on Rule 430B:

(A)    each prospectus filed by the undersigned issuer pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and

(B)    each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by section 10(a) of the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness

II-3

Table of Contents

or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offerings described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date; or

(ii)    if the issuer is relying on Rule 430C, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.

(6)    that, for the purpose of determining liability of the Registrant under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned Registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned Registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned Registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

(i)     any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned Registrant relating to the offerings required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

(ii)    any free writing prospectus relating to the offerings prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned Registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned Registrant;

(iii)   the portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offerings containing material information about the undersigned Registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned Registrant; and

(iv)   any other communication that is an offer in the offerings made by the undersigned Registrant to the purchaser.

(b)    The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that:

(1)    for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the Registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.

(2)    for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
