PRELIMINARY PROSPECTUS (Subject to Completion)

Dated January 18, 2024

STAK INC.

[ ] Ordinary Shares

We are offering Ordinary Shares, $[*] par value per share (“Ordinary Shares”). This is the initial public offering of our Ordinary Shares (the “Offering”). Prior to this Offering, there has been no public market for Ordinary Shares. We expect the initial public offering price of the Ordinary Shares will be in the range of $ to $ per share.

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

We are an “emerging growth company” as defined under the federal securities laws and will be subject to reduced public company reporting requirements. See “Prospectus Summary — Implications of Our Being an ‘Emerging Growth Company’” and “Risk Factors” on pages 14 and 17, respectively.

Upon the completion of this offering, we will be a “controlled company” as defined under the Nasdaq Stock Market Rules because our controlling shareholder will own [___]% of our total issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares, representing [___]% of the total voting power, assuming that the representative of the underwriters do not exercise the over-allotment option.

We are not a Chinese operating company but a Cayman Islands holding company without material operations and this structure involves unique risks to investors. Investors in our Ordinary Shares should be aware that they are not holding equity interests in our Chinese operating companies directly. Investors are purchasing equity solely in STAK, Inc., our Cayman Islands holding company. The risks could result in a material change in the value of the securities we are registering for sale or could significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors. Our Ordinary Shares offered in this prospectus are shares of our Cayman Islands holding company, which has no material operations of its own and conducts substantially all of its operations through the operating entities established in the People’s Republic of China, or the PRC, primarily YLAN Technology (Changzhou) Co., Ltd. (“YLAN”), our wholly-owned subsidiary and its subsidiaries. Because all of our operations are conducted in China through our wholly-owned subsidiaries, we are subject to certain legal and operational risks associated with our operations in China, including that changes in the legal, political and economic policies of the Chinese government, the relations between China and the United States, or Chinese or United States regulations may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. PRC laws and regulations governing our current business operations are sometimes vague and uncertain, and therefore, these risks could result in a material change in our operations and/or the value of our Ordinary Shares or could significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors and cause the value of our Ordinary Shares to significantly decline or be worthless. Recently, the PRC government initiated a series of regulatory actions and statements to regulate business operations in China, including cracking down on illegal activities in the securities market, enhancing supervision over China-based companies listed overseas using variable interest entity structure, adopting new measures to extend the scope of cybersecurity reviews, and expanding the efforts in anti-monopoly enforcement. See “Risk Factors” beginning on page 17 of this prospectus for a discussion of risks facing the Company and the offering as a result of this structure.

Recently, the PRC government initiated a series of regulatory actions and statements to regulate business operations in China, including the proposed post-application / post-listing filing procedures with the authority, enhancing supervision over China-based companies listed overseas using variable interest entity structure, adopting new measures to extend the scope of cybersecurity and data privacy reviews, and expanding the efforts in anti-monopoly enforcement. On July 6, 2021, the General Office of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and the General Office of the State Council jointly issued an announcement to crack down on illegal activities in the securities market and promote the high-quality development of the capital market, which, among other things, requires the relevant governmental authorities to strengthen cross-border oversight of law-enforcement and judicial cooperation, to enhance supervision over China-based companies listed overseas, and to establish and improve the system of extraterritorial application of the PRC securities laws. On November 14, 2021, Cyberspace Administration of China (“CAC”) published the Administration Measures for Cyber Data Security (Draft for Public Comments), or the “Cyber Data Security Measure (Draft)”, and on December 28, 2021, Cybersecurity Review Measures were published by Cyberspace Administration of China, or the CAC, National Development and Reform Commission, Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, Ministry of Public Security, Ministry of State Security, Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Commerce, People’s Bank of China, State Administration for Market Regulation, State Administration of Radio and Television, China Securities Regulatory Commission, State Secrecy Administration and State Cryptography Administration, which became effective on February 15, 2022 and provides that critical information infrastructure operators that purchase internet products and services and data processing operators engaging in data processing activities that affect or may affect national security shall be subject to the cybersecurity review by the Cybersecurity Review Office. Cybersecurity Review Measures also requires cyberspace operators with personal information of more than 1 million users who want to list abroad to file a cybersecurity review with the Office of Cybersecurity Review. As of the date of this prospectus, these new laws and guidelines have not impacted the Company’s ability to conduct its business, accept foreign investments, or list and trade on a U.S. or other foreign exchange; however, there are uncertainties in the interpretation and enforcement of these new laws and guidelines, which could materially and adversely impact our business and financial outlook and may impact our ability to accept foreign investments or continue to list on a U.S. or other foreign exchange. Also as of the date of this prospectus, we do not believe we are in a monopolistic position in the manufacturing industry.

On February 17, 2023, the CSRC issued the Trial Measures for the Administration of Overseas Issuance and Listing of Securities by Domestic Enterprises and five supporting guidelines, which became effective on March 31, 2023 (the “Overseas Listing Regulations”). The Overseas Listing Regulations require that a PRC domestic enterprise seeking to issue and list its shares overseas shall complete the filing procedures with the CSRC, failing which we may be fined between RMB 1 million and RMB 10 million. Such overseas securities issuance and listing include direct and indirect issuance and listing. Where an enterprise, whose principal business activities are conducted in China, seeks to issue and list its shares in the name of an overseas entity, such practice is deemed as an indirect overseas issuance and listing in the meaning of the Overseas Listing Regulations. Among other things, if an overseas listed issuer intends to implement any offering in an overseas market, it should, through its major operating entity incorporated in the PRC, submit filing materials to the CSRC within three working days after the completion of the offering. The required filing materials shall include but not be limited to: (1) filing report and relevant commitments; and (2) domestic legal opinions. According to the Notice on the Management Arrangements for Overseas Issuance and Listing of Domestic Enterprises issued by CSRC on the same day, we need to complete the filing procedures with CSRC before our listing on U.S. exchanges. We will submit the filing for this Offering to the CSRC after this draft registration statement has been submitted to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The Overseas Listing Regulations may subject us to additional compliance requirements in the future, and we cannot assure you that we will be able to get the clearance of filing procedures under the Overseas Listing Regulations on a timely basis, or at all. Any failure of us to fully comply with new regulatory requirements may significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer our Ordinary Shares, cause significant disruption to our business operations, and severely damage our reputation, which would materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations and cause our Ordinary Shares to significantly decline in value or become worthless.

Furthermore, as more stringent criteria have been imposed by the SEC and the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (the “PCAOB”) recently, our securities may be prohibited from trading if our auditor cannot be fully inspected. The Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act, or the HFCA Act, was enacted on December 18, 2020. The HFCA Act states if the SEC determines that a company has filed audit reports issued by a registered public accounting firm that has not been subject to inspection by the PCAOB for three consecutive years beginning in 2021, the SEC shall prohibit such Ordinary Shares from being traded on a national securities exchange or in the over the counter trading market in the U.S. On December 23, 2022, the Accelerating Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act (“AHFCA Act”) was enacted, which 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. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business in China — Our Ordinary Shares may be delisted under the HFCA Act if the PCAOB is unable to inspect our auditors for two consecutive years. The delisting of our Ordinary Shares, or the threat of their being delisted, may materially and adversely affect the value of your investment” on page 29. On December 16, 2021, the PCAOB issued its determination (the “2021 Determinations”) that the PCAOB 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, and the PCAOB included in the report of its determination a list of the accounting firms that are headquartered in the PRC or Hong Kong. This list does not include our auditor, HTL International, LLC. On August 26, 2022, the CSRC, the Ministry of Finance of the PRC, and the PCAOB signed a Statement of Protocol, or the Protocol, governing inspections and investigations of audit firms based in China and Hong Kong. Pursuant to the Protocol, the PCAOB has independent discretion to select any issuer audits for inspection or investigation and has the unfettered ability to transfer information to the SEC. However, uncertainties still exist about whether this new framework will be fully complied with. While our auditor is based in the U.S. and is registered with PCAOB and subject to PCAOB inspection, in the event it is later determined that the PCAOB is unable to inspect or investigate completely our auditor because of a position taken by an authority in a foreign jurisdiction, then such lack of inspection could cause our securities to be delisted from the Nasdaq Capital Market. On August 26, 2022, the PCAOB signed an agreement with the CSRC and the Ministry of Finance of the People’s Republic of China, allowing the PCAOB to inspect and investigate registered public accounting firms headquartered in mainland China and Hong Kong completely, consistent with U.S. law. On December 15, 2022, the PCAOB issued a Determination Report which determined that the PCAOB (1) is able to select engagements, audit areas, and potential violations to be reviewed or investigated, (2) has timely access to, and the ability to retain and use, any document or information that the PCAOB considers relevant to an inspection or investigation, and (3) is able to conduct inspections and investigations in a manner consistent with the provisions of the Act and the rules of the PCAOB, as interpreted and applied by the PCAOB. Consequently, the PCAOB concluded that in the absence of any evidence that authorities in the PRC currently are taking any positions to impair the PCAOB’s ability to execute its statutory mandate with respect to inspections or investigations, the HFCA Act dictates that the PCAOB vacate the 2021 Determinations. As required by the HFCA Act, if in the future the PCAOB determines it no longer can inspect or investigate completely because of a position taken by an authority in the PRC, the PCAOB will act expeditiously to consider whether the PCAOB should issue a new determination.

As of the date of this prospectus, there were no cash flows between our Cayman Islands holding company and our subsidiaries. Funds are transferred among our PRC subsidiaries for working capital purposes, primarily between YLAN, our main operating subsidiary, and its subsidiaries. The transfer of funds among companies are subject to the Provisions of the Supreme People’s Court on Several Issues Concerning the Application of Law in the Trial of Private Lending Cases (2020 Revision, the “Provisions on Private Lending Cases”), which was implemented on August 20, 2020 to regulate the financing activities between natural persons, legal persons and unincorporated organizations. As advised by our PRC counsel, DeHeng Law Offices (Shenzhen), the Provisions on Private Lending Cases do not prohibit using cash generated from one subsidiary to fund another subsidiary’s operations. We have not been notified of any other restriction which could limit our PRC subsidiaries’ ability to transfer cash between subsidiaries.

Please see “Risk Factors” beginning on page 17 of this prospectus for additional information.

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 35 of this prospectus for more information.

Neither the SEC nor any state securities commission nor any other regulatory body has approved or disapproved of these securities or determined if this prospectus is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends that we believe may affect our financial condition, results of operations, business strategy and financial needs. These forward-looking statements include statements about:

	●	changes in political, social and economic conditions, the regulatory environment, laws and regulations and interpretation thereof in the jurisdictions where we conduct business or expect to conduct business;

Other sections of this prospectus include additional factors which could adversely impact our business and financial performance. Moreover, we operate in an evolving environment. New risk factors and uncertainties emerge from time to time and it is not possible for our management to predict all risk factors and uncertainties, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. We qualify all of our forward-looking statements by these cautionary statements.

You should not rely upon forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. The forward-looking statements made in this prospectus relate only to events or information as of the date on which the statements are made in this prospectus. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Our Operations and Financial Performance

The COVID-19 pandemic significantly impacted our business operations in 2021, 2022, and early 2023. The Chinese government’s implementation of various governmental measures, including lockdowns, closures, quarantines, and travel bans, had adverse effects on our product demand and manufacturing capacity. The sporadic COVID-19 outbreaks in some provinces, coupled with the normalization of the dynamic COVID-Zero policy, continued to affect our business, including aspects such as business travel, marketing, and customer service, throughout 2020 and 2022. Furthermore, the dynamic COVID-Zero policy implemented during the Winter Olympic Games and the outbreak of the epidemic in Shanghai in the first half of 2022 severely impacted our factories’ manufacturing capabilities. It is important to note that the World Health Organization (“WHO”) declared that COVID-19 was no longer a “global health emergency” and China has shifted its approach and abandoned the dynamic COVID-Zero policy. Despite this change, we acknowledge that risks associated with COVID-19 may persist and continue to have negative repercussions for our operations. These risks include potential disruptions to logistics, supply chains, production, delivery, as well as the overall development of our business activities.

See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Our Business and Industry — Pandemics and epidemics, natural disasters, terrorist activities, political unrest, and other outbreaks could disrupt our operations, which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.”

For a more complete understanding of us and this Offering, you should read and carefully consider the entire prospectus, including the more detailed information set forth under “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and our consolidated financial statements and the related notes.

	●	Rapid response to customer and market demands. We deeply penetrate the oilfield service vehicle market, creating a unique integrated outsourcing model that allows us to deliver solutions and timely respond to customer needs.

Our Challenges

Lack of Special Vehicle Production Permission - We do not hold a special vehicle production permission to produce special vehicles as requested by the Chinese Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. Currently, we do not have our own specialized vehicle production permission, so we rely on a collaborative outsourcing model to provide final products to customers. While this approach reduces the initial operational investment in large fixed assets, it also brings policy risks and business expansion bottlenecks. If the government does not allow outsourcing or if our business demand exceeds the outsourcing factory’s capacity in the future, it could severely restrict our growth.

Competition from Established Competitors - The traditional oilfield equipment industry has many strong and established competitors with advantages. If we cannot effectively implement differentiation and cost control, maintain technological innovation advantages, we may lose market share and incur losses in the future.

Innovated New Business Model to Meet the Market Demand (Supply Chain Financing) - Advanced heavy-duty automation equipment is expensive, and small oilfield service companies have limited purchasing power, restricting equipment demand. In response to this challenge, we may need to introduce third-party supply chain finance into the sales process to our customers. However, this requires the Company to have strong credibility and resource integration capabilities.

The domestic and international markets are vast, and we require experienced management executives and talent with international perspectives.

To meet these challenges, we need additional capital, continuous investment in technology research and development, a stable supply chain, enhanced production capacity, and the maintenance of our industry advantage.

Our Growth Strategy

Our Company is a rapidly growing emerging oil well automation machinery and service company. Given our position as a newcomer in the industry and considering the competitive landscape, growth is our primary goal. In order to enhance various aspects such as capital expenditure, research and development, and production base construction, we plan to allocate our resources strategically, aiming to gradually become an industry-leading provider of specialized oilfield vehicles and equipment. Our strategies to achieve this goal are as follows:

	●	Invest in building production facilities and obtain qualifications of special vehicles manufacture.
	●	Increase research and development investment to accelerate product iterations.
	●	Expand customer purchasing power by coordinating with supply chain finance companies to provide supply chain finance our customers and innovating marketing models.

We have been advised by our PRC Counsel, DeHeng Law Offices (Shenzhen), that pursuant to the relevant laws and regulations in PRC, none of our business is stipulated on the Special Administrative Measures for the Access of Foreign Investment (Negative List) (2021 Version) (the “2021 Negative List”) promulgated by the Ministry of Commerce of the PRC (“MOFCOM”) and the National Development and Reform Commission of the PRC (“NDRC”). Therefore, we are able to conduct our business through our wholly-owned PRC Subsidiaries without being subject to restrictions imposed by the foreign investment laws and regulations of the PRC.

CSRC Approval Required for This Offering

Furthermore, on December 28, 2021, the CAC, the NDRC, and several other administrations jointly issued the revised Measures for Cybersecurity Review, or the “Revised Review Measures,” which became effective and replaced the existing Measures for Cybersecurity Review on February 15, 2022. According to the Revised Review Measures, if an “online platform operator” that is in possession of personal data of more than one million users intends to list in a foreign country, it must apply for a cybersecurity review. Moreover, the CAC released the draft of the Regulations on Network Data Security Management in November 2021 for public consultation, which among other things, stipulates that a data processor listed overseas must conduct an annual data security review by itself or by engaging a data security service provider and submit the annual data security review report for a given year to the municipal cybersecurity department before January 31 of the following year. On July 7, 2022, the CAC released the Measures for the Security Assessment of Cross-Border Data, which became effective on September 1, 2022. We do not collect or store any personal data (including certain personal information) from our individual end-users. As of the date of this prospectus, we have not collected or stored personal information from our individual end-users. As a result, the likelihood of us being subject to the review of the CAC is remote. Given the recent issuance of the Measures for the Security Assessment of Cross-Border Data, there is a general lack of guidance and substantial uncertainties exist with respect to their interpretation and implementation.

On February 17, 2023, the CSRC issued the Trial Measures for the Administration of Overseas Issuance and Listing of Securities by Domestic Enterprises and five supporting guidelines, which became effective on March 31, 2023 (the “Overseas Listing Regulations”). The Overseas Listing Regulations require that a PRC domestic enterprise seeking to issue and list its shares overseas shall complete the filing procedures with the CSRC, failing which we may be liable to a fine of between RMB 1 million and RMB 10 million. Such overseas securities issuance and listing include direct and indirect issuance and listing. Where an enterprise, whose principal business activities are conducted in China, seeks to issue and list its shares in the name of an overseas entity, such practice is deemed as an indirect overseas issuance and listing in the meaning of the Overseas Listing Regulations. Among other things, if an overseas listed issuer intends to implement any offering in an overseas market, it should, through its major operating entity incorporated in the PRC, submit filing materials to the CSRC within three working days after the completion of the offering. The required filing materials shall include but not be limited to: (1) filing report and relevant commitments; and (2) domestic legal opinions. According to the Notice on the Management Arrangements for Overseas Issuance and Listing of Domestic Enterprises issued by CSRC on the same day, we need to complete the filing procedures with CSRC before our listing on U.S. exchanges. We plan to submit the filing for this IPO to the CSRC once this draft registration statement has been submitted to the SEC. The Overseas Listing Regulations may subject us to additional compliance requirements in the future, and we cannot assure you that we will be able to get the clearance of filing procedures under the Overseas Listing Regulations on a timely basis, or at all. Any failure of us to fully comply with new regulatory requirements may significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer our Ordinary Shares, cause significant disruption to our business operations, and severely damage our reputation, which would materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations and cause our Ordinary Shares to significantly decline in value or become worthless.

Table of Contents

As further advised by our PRC counsel, as of the date of this prospectus, except for the CSRC filing for this issuance and listing, no effective laws or regulations in the PRC explicitly require us to seek approval from any other PRC governmental authorities for our overseas listing plan, nor has our Company or any of our subsidiaries received any inquiry, notice, warning or sanctions regarding our planned overseas listing from the CSRC or any other PRC governmental authorities. We cannot assure you that we will remain fully compliant with all new regulatory requirements of these opinions or any future implementation rules on a timely basis, or at all. If we are subject to additional requirements that we obtain the approval or clearance from either the CSRC, the CAC or any other regulators in China for this offering but fail to obtain such approval or clearance, we will not be able to pursue this offering any further. See “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to Conducting Business in China—Recent regulatory developments in China may subject us to additional regulatory review or otherwise restrict or completely hinder our ability to offer securities and raise capitals overseas, all of which could materially and adversely affect our business and cause the value of our Ordinary Shares to significantly decline or become worthless.” and “—Risks Related to Our Securities and This Offering— We need to obtain the approval from the CSRC in connection with this offering and listing on Nasdaq. The approval of or clearance by the CAC and other compliance procedures may be required in connection with this offering, and, if required, we cannot predict whether we will be able to obtain such approval or clearance.”

Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Our Operations and Financial Performance

The COVID-19 pandemic significantly impacted our business operations in 2021, 2022, and early 2023. The Chinese government’s implementation of various governmental measures, including lockdowns, closures, quarantines, and travel bans, had adverse effects on our product demand and manufacturing capacity. The COVID-19 sporadic outbreaks in some provinces, coupled with the normalization of the dynamic COVID-Zero policy, continued to affect our business, including aspects such as business travel, marketing, and customer service, throughout 2020 and 2022. Furthermore, the dynamic COVID-Zero policy implemented during the Winter Olympic Games and the outbreak of the epidemic in Shanghai in the first half of 2022 severely impacted our factories’ manufacturing capabilities. It is important to note that the WHO declared that COVID-19 was no longer a “global health emergency” and China has shifted its approach and abandoned the dynamic COVID-Zero policy. Despite this change, we acknowledge that risks associated with COVID-19 may persist and continue to have negative repercussions for our operations. These risks include potential disruptions to logistics, supply chains, production, delivery, as well as the overall development of our business activities.

See “Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Business and Industry—The COVID-19 pandemic and the effect of COVID-Zero policy in China had a material adverse effect on our business in 2021, 2022, and early 2023” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—COVID-19 Pandemic Affecting Our Results of Operations.”

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;

Table of Contents

●	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);

●	are exempt from certain executive compensation disclosure provisions requiring a pay-for-performance graph and chief executive officer 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 the IPO.

Under the JOBS Act, we may take advantage of the above-described reduced reporting requirements and exemptions until we no longer meet the definition of an emerging growth company. 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 of 1933, as amended (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 Ordinary Shares held by non-affiliates, or issue more than $1 billion in principal amount of non-convertible debt over a three-year period.

Implications of Being a Foreign Private Issuer

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 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 Fair Disclosure 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.

We will be required to file an annual report on Form 20-F within four months of the end of each fiscal year. Press releases relating to financial results and material events will also be furnished to the SEC on Form 6-K. However, the information we are required to file with or furnish to the SEC will be less extensive and less timely compared to that required to be filed with the SEC by U.S. domestic issuers. As a result, you may not be afforded the same protections or information that would be made available to you were you investing in a U.S. domestic issuer.

The Nasdaq listing rules provide that a foreign private issuer may follow the practices of its home country, which for us is the Cayman Islands, rather than the Nasdaq rules as to certain corporate governance requirements, including the requirement that the issuer have a majority of independent directors, the audit committee, compensation committee, and nomination committee requirements, the requirement to disclose third-party director and nominee compensation, and the requirement to distribute annual and interim reports. A foreign private issuer that follows a home country practice in lieu of one or more of the listing rules is required to disclose in its annual reports filed with the SEC each requirement that it does not follow and describe the home country practice followed by the issuer in lieu of such requirements. Although we do not currently intend to take advantage of these exceptions to the Nasdaq corporate governance rules, we may in the future take advantage of one or more of these exemptions. See “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to this Offering and the Trading Market—Because we are a foreign private issuer and are exempt from certain Nasdaq corporate governance standards applicable to U.S. issuers, you will have less protection than you would have if we were a domestic issuer.”

Our operating history may not be indicative of our future growth or financial results. There is no assurance that we will be able to increase our revenues in future periods. Our growth rates may decline for any number of possible reasons, and some of them are beyond our control, including decreasing customer demand, increasing competition, declining growth of the marketing industry in general, emergence of alternative business models, or changes in government policies or general economic conditions. We will continue to expand our sales network and product offerings to bring greater convenience to our customers and to increase our customer base and number of transactions. However, the execution of our expansion plan is subject to uncertainty and the total number of items sold and number of transacting customers may not grow at the rate we expect for the reasons stated above. If our growth rates decline, investors’ perceptions of our business and prospects may be adversely affected and the market price of our Ordinary Shares could decline.

We cannot assure you that we will maintain profitability.

We accounted $3.5 million and $1.6 million net profit for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. However, we may not be able to maintain or increase our level of profitability. We may raise additional working capital if our working capital is not sufficient for our future development. In addition, as a public company, we will incur accounting, legal and other expenses. These expenditures may make us continue to raise additional working capital. Our efforts to grow our business may be costlier than we expect, and we may not be able to generate sufficient revenue to offset our increased operating expenses. We may incur losses in the future for a number of reasons, including unforeseen expenses, difficulties, complications and delays and other unknown events. Accordingly, we cannot assure you that we will maintain operating profits as we continue to expand our business, and otherwise implement our growth initiatives.

We operate in a volatile industry where the demand for oil equipment can fluctuate significantly, often in correlation with oil and natural gas prices, which makes it difficult for investors to evaluate our future prospects, and we cannot assure you that our current or future strategies will be successfully implemented or will generate sustainable profit.

We are a fast-growing company specializing in the research, development, manufacturing, and sale of oilfield-specialized production and maintenance equipment. We design and manufacture the oilfield-specialized production and maintenance equipment, then collaborate with qualified specialized vehicle manufacturing companies to integrate the equipment onto vehicle chassis, producing specialized oilfield vehicles for sale. Additionally, we sell oilfield-specialized equipment components, related products, and provide automation solutions. The market in which our customers operate can fluctuate significantly, often in correlation with oil and natural gas prices, and the industry may not develop as we anticipate. As our business develops in response to oil prices and market competition, we may need to impose more rigorous risk management systems and policies, which may negatively affect the growth of our business. Any significant change to our business model may not achieve the expected results and may materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. It is therefore difficult to accurately predict our prospects.

We have a limited operating history and experience in specialized oilfield equipment and integrated solutions, which makes it difficult to evaluate our business. We cannot assure you that the market for our products will develop as we expect or that we will be able to maintain the growth rate that we have experienced to date.

In early 2020, we started our focus on the production of oilfield-specialized and maintenance equipment, leading to the establishment of YLAN, our operating subsidiary. Since then we have achieved rapid growth in terms of customer base and revenue. For the fiscal years ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, our specialized oilfield equipment revenue accounted for 30.1% and 0.2% of our total revenue, respectively. However, our limited operating history in our services to provide specialized oilfield equipment and integrated solutions may not be indicative of our future growth or financial results. There is no assurance that we will be able to maintain our historical growth rates in future periods. Our growth prospects should be considered in light of the risks and uncertainties that fast-growing companies with a limited operating history and experience in our industry may encounter, including, among others, risks and uncertainties regarding our ability to:

●

expand our products and services offering;

Table of Contents

●

retain existing customers and attract new customers;

●

offer customized and comprehensive services tailored to the needs of oilfield maintenance and service companies throughout their lifecycles;

	●	successfully compete with other companies that are currently in, or may in the future enter, our industry or similar industries;

	●	obtain permits of specialized vehicles manufacture; and

●

observe and strategize on the latest market trends.

All of these endeavors involve risks and will require significant allocation of management and employee resources. We cannot assure you that we will be able to effectively manage our growth or implement our business strategies effectively. If the market for our services does not develop as we expect or if we fail to address the needs of this dynamic market, our business, results of operations, and financial condition will be materially and adversely affected.

Failure to maintain and enlarge our customer base or strengthen customer engagement may adversely affect our business and results of operations.

Our revenue growth depends on our ability to maintain and enlarge our customer base and strengthen customer engagement so that more of oilfield services companies will replace the products and services of our competitors with ours, which will contribute to our revenue growth. Our customers may not continue to use our solutions once their existing contract expires or they may not purchase additional solutions from us. This risk is especially apparent in circumstances where it is inexpensive for them to switch service or products providers. Our ability to maintain and enlarge our customer base and strengthen our customer engagement will depend on many factors, some of which are out of our control, including:

●

our ability to continually innovate our solutions in response to evolving customer demands and expectations and intense market competition;

●

our ability to customize solutions for different oilfield maintenance and service companies;

●

customer satisfaction with our products, including any oilfield specialized maintenance and service vehicles that we may develop, and the competitiveness of our oilfield specialized equipment; and

●

the effectiveness of our solutions in helping our customers improve oilfield maintenance efficiency, enhance service quality, and reduce operation or repair costs.

Failure to maintain the quality of our products and services could have a material and adverse effect on our reputation, financial condition and results of operations.

The quality of our products and services is critical to our success. We pay close attention to quality control, monitoring our products and services. Yet, maintaining consistent product and service quality depends significantly on the effectiveness of our quality control system, which in turn depends on a number of factors, including but not limited to the design of our quality control system, employee training to ensure that our employees adhere to and implement our quality control policies and procedures and the effectiveness of monitoring any potential violation of our quality control policies and procedures. There can be no assurance that our quality control system will always prove to be effective. Furthermore, given that we do not have permits to manufacture specialized vehicles in China, we cooperate with the qualified manufactures to assemble the oilfield-specialized vehicles. Therefore, we may not have sufficient controls over the quality of the final products to be delivered to the end-users. In the event that our qualified manufacturers cannot meet our requirement or standard, our clients may not purchase our products and our reputation will suffer.

Table of Contents

In addition, the quality of the materials provided by our suppliers is subject to factors beyond our control, including the effectiveness and the efficiency of their quality control system, among others. There can be no assurance that our suppliers may always be able to adopt appropriate quality control systems and meet our quality control requirements in respect of the services they provide. Any failure of our business partners to provide satisfactory services could harm our reputation and adversely impact our operations. In addition, we may be unable to receive sufficient compensation from business partners for the losses caused by them.

We depend on our cooperation with our suppliers. Our business may be negatively affected if such suppliers do not continue their relationship with us or if their operations fail.

We cooperate with various suppliers when conducting our business. We have three and three suppliers who accounted for more than 10% of Company’s purchase in the fiscal years of 2023 and 2022, respectively. If we are not able to retain our existing suppliers, the quality of our products and services may decline, which will hinder our business growth. The occurrence of any of these circumstances may significantly hinder our ability to carry out our business operations and increase the customer base we can reach, and may significantly increase our expense and thus our business, financial condition, results of operation, and prospects may be materially and adversely affected.

Furthermore, our oilfield vehicles business relies on qualified vehicles manufacturers in China to assemble the oilfield-specialized vehicles by using the oilfield maintenance equipment manufactured by us. However, we may not have sufficient controls over the quality of the final products assembled by the qualified vehicles manufacturers. In the event that the qualified vehicles manufacturers cannot meet our requirements or standards, our clients may not purchase our products and our reputation will suffer.

We may experience significant liability claims or complaints from customers, litigation and regulatory investigations and proceedings.

Any complaints or claims against us, even if meritless and unsuccessful, may divert management attention and other resources from our business and adversely affect our business and operations. Customers may lose confidence in us and our brand, which may adversely affect our business and results of operations. Furthermore, negative publicity including but not limited to negative online reviews on social media and crowd-sourced review platforms, whether or not accurate, and whether or not concerning our services, can adversely affect our business, results of operations and reputation.

We may face exposure to claims and lawsuits arising from our products and services. These claims could divert management time and attention away from our business and result in significant costs to investigate and defend, regardless of the merits of the claims. In some instances, we may elect or be forced to pay substantial damages if we are unsuccessful in our efforts to defend against these claims, which could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, our directors, management and employees may from time to time be subject to litigation and regulatory investigations and proceedings or otherwise face potential liability and expense in relation to commercial, labor, employment, securities or other matters, which could adversely affect our reputation and results of operations.

As of the date of this prospectus, we are not aware of any warning, investigations, prosecutions, disputes, claims or other proceedings in respect of customer rights protection, nor have we been punished or can foresee any punishment to be made by any government authorities of the PRC or any in any overseas jurisdiction.

We are dependent on our top customers. If we fail to acquire new customers or retain existing customers in a cost-effective manner, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected.

Maintaining existing customers and developing new customers are essential to our success. We are heavily dependent on our top customers. For the year ended June 30, 2023, our top customer, Hubei Danyou Special Vehicle Equipment Co., Ltd., contributed approximately 31% to our revenue. For the year ended June 30, 2022, our top customer, Zhejiang Biancheng New Energy Technology Co., Ltd., contributed approximately 35% to our revenue. We do not maintain long-term agreements with the top customers and the services agreements with the top customers are made on a per-project basis. Therefore, we cannot be certain that our revenues from the top customers will continue.

Table of Contents

Our ability to cost-effectively attract new customers and retain existing customers, especially our top customers, is crucial to driving net income growth and achieving profitability. We promote and attract new customers through these methods including, utilizing a dedicated network of specialized vehicle dealers, cultivating positive word-to-mouth referrals within the industry, and proactively expanding our business through our sales team. We also expect to continue to invest significantly to acquire new customers and retain existing ones, especially our top customers. There can be no assurance that new customers will stay with us, or the net revenues from new customers we acquire will ultimately exceed the cost of acquiring those customers. In addition, if our existing customers, especially our existing top customers no longer find our services appealing, or if our competitors offer more attractive prices, discounts or better customer products, our existing customers may lose interest in us, decrease their orders or even stop ordering from us. If we are unable to retain our existing customers, especially our top customers or to acquire new customers in a cost-effective manner, our revenues may decrease and our results of operations will be significantly affected. If our top customers reduce their budgets for the purchase of oilfield specialized equipment or change its way to operate, our revenues may decrease significantly and affect the profitability of our business as a result. Furthermore, if we experience difficulties in the collection of our accounts receivable from our major customers, our results of operation may be materially and adversely affected.

Our industry is intensely competitive. We may face competition from, and we may be unable to compete successfully against, new entrants and established companies with greater resources.

The oilfield maintenance industry is intensely competitive and includes thousands of companies both domestically and internationally. We face increasing competitive pressures to grow our business in order to maintain our competitive position, and we may encounter competition from, and lose customers to, other companies with design, technological and manufacturing capabilities similar to ours. Some of our potential competitors may have special vehicles manufacture permits, and therefore, they can design and manufacture oil pumping trucks by themselves, and have a pricing advantage compared to us. Some of our potential competitors may also have greater name recognition, greater operating revenues, larger customer bases, longer customer relationships and greater financial, technical, personnel and marketing resources than we have. If we are unsuccessful in competing with our competitors for our existing and prospective customers’ business, our financial conditions and results of operation may be adversely affected.

Furthermore, increased competition may reduce our market share and profitability and require us to increase our sales and marketing efforts and capital commitment in the future, which could negatively affect our results of operations or force us to incur further losses. Although we have accumulated some and continuously growing our customer base, there is no assurance that we will be able to continue to do so in the future against current or future competitors, and such competitive pressures may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

If we are not able to implement our strategies to achieve our business objectives, our business operations and financial performance will be adversely affected.

Our growth strategy is based on currently prevailing circumstances and the assumption that certain circumstances will or will not occur, as well as the inherent risks and uncertainties involved in various stages of development. However, there is no assurance that we will be successful in implementing our strategies including (i) continued research on oilfield-specialized production and maintenance equipment, (ii) maintaining our brand, (iii) our rapid response to meet our customers and market demands, and (iv) future new sales model by integrating supply chain finance. If we are not able to successfully implement our strategies, our business operations and financial performance will be adversely affected.

We are dependent upon key executives and highly qualified managers and we cannot assure their retention.

Our success depends, in part, upon the continued services of key members of our management, Chuanbo Jiang, Ke Dennis Xu, and Huyun Gao. Our executives’ and managers’ knowledge of technologies, market, our business and our Company represents a key strength of our business, which cannot be easily replicated. The success of our business strategy and our future growth also depend on our ability to attract, train, retain and motivate skilled managerial, sales, administration, development and operating personnel.

We believe that the extensive experience of our management team, their industry knowledge, in-depth understanding of the market and well-established relationships with our customers, suppliers and business associates, enable us to assess the market trends and requirements of our customers, as well as to evaluate and manage our customers efficiently. Our future success will depend on the continued involvement, efforts, performance and abilities of our key personnel as a whole. Although we have employment agreements with our key personals, there can be no assurance that we will be able to retain the services of our key personnel and to continually leverage their leadership skills. If we are unable to retain our key personnel or attract and engage suitable personnel on a timely and commercially viable basis, it may result in the loss of strategic leadership, disruption or delay to our business operations, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, operations and financial conditions.

Changes to our payment terms with both customers and suppliers may materially adversely affect our operating cash flows.

We may experience significant pressure from our suppliers to reduce the number of days of our accounts payable. At the same time, we may experience pressure from our customers to extend the number of days before paying our accounts receivable. Any failure to manage our accounts payable and accounts receivable may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

If we are unable to collect account receivables from our customers, our results of operations and cash flows could be adversely affected.

Our business depends on our ability to successfully obtain payment from customers for the amounts they owe us for our products and services. As of June 30, 2023 and 2022, our accounts receivable balance amounted to approximately $4.0 million and $0.9 million, respectively. This growth in receivables reflects, in part, our growth in revenues. If we are unable to timely collect our accounts receivable on a timely and consistent basis, however, our cash flows and access to operating capital could be adversely affected.

Adverse general economic, business and industry conditions could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations and cash flow.

The demand for energy, including crude oil, nature gas liquids (“NGL”) and natural gas, is generally linked to broad-based economic activities. If there is a slowdown in economic growth, an economic downturn or recession or other adverse economic or political development in the US, Europe, or Asia, there could be a significant adverse effect on global financial markets and commodity prices. In addition, hostilities in the Middle East and Ukraine and the occurrence or threat of terrorist attacks in the US or other countries could adversely affect the global economy. Global or national health concerns, including the outbreak of pandemic or contagious diseases, such as COVID-19 (coronavirus), may adversely affect the Company by (i) reducing global economic activity thereby resulting in lower demand for crude oil, NGL and natural gas, (ii) impairing its supply chain, for example, by limiting the manufacturing of materials or the supply of goods and services used in the Company’s operations, and (iii) affecting the health of its workforce, rendering employees unable to work or travel. These and other factors that affect the demand for crude oil, NGLs and natural gas, and the Company’s business and industry, could ultimately have an adverse impact on the Company’s results of operations and cash flows.

Changes to the demand for oil and the rise of petroleum alternatives may negatively affect the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flow.

Fuel conservation measures, alternative fuel requirements, increasing consumer demand for alternatives to oil and natural gas and technological advances in fuel economy and renewable energy generation systems could reduce the demand for oil. Recently, certain jurisdictions have implemented policies or incentives to decrease the use of hydrocarbons and encourage the use of renewable fuel alternatives, which may lessen the demand for petroleum products and put downward pressure on commodity prices. Advancements in energy efficient products have a similar effect on the demand for oil. The Company cannot predict the impact of changing demand for oil, and any major changes may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s oilfield equipment and integrated solutions business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flow by decreasing the Company’s profitability, increasing its costs, limiting its access to capital and decreasing the value of its assets.

We may incur liabilities that are not covered by insurance.

While we seek to maintain appropriate levels of insurance, not all claims are insurable and we may experience major incidents of a nature that are not covered by insurance. We provide social security insurance including pension, medical insurance, unemployment insurance, maternity insurance, on-the-job injury insurance and housing fund plans through a PRC government-mandated benefit contribution plan for our employees.

However, we do not maintain any insurance covering our properties, equipment, inventory or employees, and we do not carry any business interruption or product liability insurance or any third-party liability insurance to cover claims in respect of personal injuries or any damages arising from accidents on our properties or in relation to our operations. The occurrence of certain incidents including severe weather, earthquake, fire, war, power outages, flooding and the consequences resulting from them may not be covered by our insurance policies adequately, or at all. If we were subject to substantial liabilities, we could incur costs and losses that could materially and adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

If we do not obtain substantial additional financing, including the financing sought in this offering, our ability to execute our strategies as outlined in this prospectus will be impaired.

Our plans for business expansion and development are dependent upon our raising additional capital, including the capital sought in this offering. Our plans call for new investments in research and development, marketing, expanded service capacity, and working capital and other items. Although we expect the proceeds of this offering and our net earnings to substantially fund our planned growth and development, our management will be required to properly and carefully administer and allocate these funds. Should our capital needs be higher than estimated, or should additional capital be required after the close of this offering, we may seek additional investments, loans or debt financing to fully pursue our strategies. Such additional investment may not be available to us on terms which are favorable or acceptable. Should we be unable to meet our full capital needs, our ability to fully implement our strategies will be impaired.

Pandemics and epidemics, natural disasters, terrorist activities, political unrest, and other outbreaks could disrupt our operations, which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Global pandemics, epidemics in China or elsewhere in the world, or fear of spread of contagious diseases, such as Ebola virus disease (EVD), coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS), severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), H1N1 flu, H7N9 flu, and avian flu, as well as hurricanes, earthquakes, tsunamis, or other natural disasters could disrupt our business operations, reduce or restrict our supply of products and services, incur significant costs to protect our employees and facilities, or result in regional or global economic distress, which may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations. Actual or threatened war, terrorist activities, political unrest, civil strife, and other geopolitical uncertainty could have a similar adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. Any one or more of these events may impede our production and delivery efforts and adversely affect our sales results, or even for a prolonged period of time, which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

In the PRC, governmental measures implemented by the Chinese government included various stages of lockdowns, closures, quarantines, and travel bans. While our financial performance for the fiscal year 2022 was not materially affected by COVID-19, the pandemic has had an impact on our operations, an impact on the operations of our collaborators, third-party contractors and other entities. In the year of 2022, the resurgence of the COVID-19 pandemic in China and the relevant lockdown measures taken by government had negatively impact on our manufacturing business. Our financial performance for the fiscal year 2022 was negatively affected accordingly.

On December 7, 2022, the joint prevention and control mechanism of the State Council of China issued the “New Ten Rules,” which means that the control measures for epidemic prevention are gradually liberalized. The extent of the impact of COVID-19 on our future financial results will be dependent on future developments, the potential resurgence of the pandemic, future government actions in response to the pandemic and the overall impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the global economy and capital markets, among many other factors, all of which remain highly uncertain and unpredictable.

We are also vulnerable to natural disasters and other calamities. We cannot assure you that we are adequately protected from the effects of fire, floods, typhoons, earthquakes, power loss, telecommunications failures, break-ins, war, riots, terrorist attacks, or similar events. Any of the foregoing events may give rise to interruptions, damage to our property, delays in production, breakdowns, system failures, technology platform failures, or internet failures, which could cause the loss or corruption of data or malfunctions of our manufacturing facility as well as adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Our directors and officers currently own an aggregate of approximately [____]% of the total voting power of our outstanding Ordinary Shares, and will own [●]% immediately after the completion of this offering, assuming the underwriter does not exercise its over-allotment option.

Currently, our directors and officers collectively own an aggregate of approximately [*]% of the total voting power of our outstanding Ordinary Shares. Our directors and officers will collectively own an aggregate of [ ]% of the total voting power of our outstanding Ordinary Shares immediately after the completion of this offering, assuming the underwriters does not exercise their over-allotment option. These beneficial owners could have significant influence on determining the outcome of any corporate transaction or other matter submitted to the shareholders for approval, including mergers, consolidations, the election of directors and other significant corporate actions. In cases where their interests are aligned and they vote together, these beneficial owners will also have the power to prevent or cause a change in control. Without the consent of some or all of these shareholders, we may be prevented from entering into transactions that could be beneficial to us or our minority shareholders. The interests of these beneficial owners may differ from the interests of our other shareholders. The concentration in the ownership of our Ordinary Shares may cause a material decline in the value of our Ordinary Shares. For more information regarding our beneficial owners and their affiliated entities, see “Principal Shareholders.”

You may face difficulties in protecting your interests, and your ability to protect your rights through U.S. courts may be limited, because we are incorporated under Cayman Islands law.

We are an exempted company incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands. Our corporate affairs are governed by our [post-offering] amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, the Companies Act (Revised) of the Cayman Islands (the “Companies Act”) and the common law of the Cayman Islands. The rights of shareholders to take action against the directors, actions by minority shareholders and the fiduciary duties of our directors 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 as well as from the common law of England, the decisions of whose courts are of persuasive authority, but are not binding, on a court 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 precedent in some jurisdictions in the United States. In particular, the Cayman Islands has a less developed body of securities laws than the United States. Some U.S. states, such as Delaware, have more fully developed and judicially interpreted bodies of corporate law than the Cayman Islands. In addition, Cayman Islands companies may not have standing to initiate a shareholder derivative action in a federal court of the United States.

Shareholders of exempted companies incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands 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 lists of shareholders of these companies. Our directors have discretion under our [post-offering] amended and restated memorandum and articles of association [that will become effective immediately prior to completion of this offering] 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.

Certain corporate governance practices in the Cayman Islands, which is our home country, differ significantly from requirements for companies incorporated in other jurisdictions such as the United States. To the extent we choose to follow home country practice with respect to corporate governance matters, our shareholders may be afforded less protection than they otherwise would under rules and regulations applicable to U.S. domestic issuers.

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 management, members of the board of directors or controlling shareholder 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 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 convene a general meeting and does not provide shareholders with any right to put any proposal before a general meeting. However, these rights may be provided in a company’s articles of association. Our [post-offering] amended and restated memorandum and articles of association allow our shareholders holding shares representing in aggregate not less than 10 percent of our paid up voting share capital in issue, to convene a general meeting of our shareholders, in which case our directors are obliged to call such meeting. Advance notice of at least [7] days is required for the convening of our general meetings. A quorum required for a general meeting is one or more holders holding shares that represent not less than one-third of the outstanding shares of the Company carrying the right to vote at such general meeting. For these purposes, “clear days” means that period excluding (a) the day when the notice is given or deemed to be given and (b) the day for which it is given or on which it is to take effect.

Recently introduced economic substance legislation of the Cayman Islands may impact the Company or its operations.

Pursuant to the International Tax Cooperation (Economic Substance) Act, 2018 of the Cayman Islands, or the ES Act, that came into force on January 1, 2019, a “relevant entity” conducting a “relevant entity” is required to satisfy the economic substance test set out in the ES Act. A “relevant entity” includes an exempted company incorporated in the Cayman Islands as is our Company. There are nine designated “relevant activities” under the ES Act, and for so long as our Company is carrying on activities which falls within any of the designated relevant activities, it shall comply with all applicable requirements under the ES Act. If the only business activity that the Company carries on is to hold equity participation in other entities and only earns dividends and capital gains, then based on the current interpretation of the ES Act, our Company is a “pure equity holding company” and will therefore only subject to the minimum substance requirements, which require us to (i) comply with the all applicable requirements under the Companies Act and (ii) have adequate human resources and adequate premises in the Cayman Islands for holding and managing equity participations in other entities. However, there can be no assurance that we will not be subject to more requirements under the ES Act. Uncertainties over the interpretation and implementation of the ES Act may have an adverse impact on our business and operations.

Certain judgments obtained against us by our shareholders may not be enforceable.

We are a Cayman Islands company and substantially all of our assets are located outside of the United States. Substantially all of our current operations are conducted in the PRC. In addition, our current officers are nationals and residents of countries other than the United States. Substantially all of the assets of these persons are located outside the United States. As a result, it may be difficult or impossible for you to bring an action against us or against these individuals in the United States in the event that you believe that your rights have been infringed under the U.S. federal securities laws or otherwise. Even if you are successful in bringing an action of this kind, the laws of the Cayman Islands and of the PRC may render you unable to enforce a judgment against our assets or the assets of our directors and officers. For more information regarding the relevant laws of the Cayman Islands and the PRC, see “Enforceability of Civil Liabilities.”

Risks Related to Doing Business in China

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 have limited precedential value. Our PRC Subsidiaries are foreign-invested enterprises and are subject to laws and regulations applicable to foreign-invested enterprises as well as various Chinese laws and regulations generally applicable to companies incorporated in China. However, since these laws and regulations are relatively new and the PRC legal system continues to rapidly evolve, the interpretations of many laws, regulations and rules are not always uniform and enforcement of these laws, regulations and rules involves uncertainties.

Table of Contents

From time to time, we may have to resort to administrative and court proceedings to enforce our legal rights. However, since the 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 protection we enjoy than in more developed legal systems. Furthermore, the PRC legal system is based in part on government policies and internal rules, some of which are not published on a timely basis or at all, and which may have a retroactive effect. As a result, we may not be aware of our violation of any of these policies and rules until sometime after the violation. Such uncertainties, including uncertainty over the scope and effect of our contractual, property (including intellectual property) and procedural rights, and any failure to respond to changes in the regulatory environment in China could materially and adversely affect our business and impede our ability to continue our operations.

Recent statements by the Chinese government have indicated an intent to exert more oversight and control over offerings that are conducted overseas and/or foreign investments in China-based issuers. On July 6, 2021, the General Office of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and the General Office of the State Council jointly issued a document to crack down on illegal activities in the securities market and promote the high-quality development of the capital market, which, among other things, requires the relevant governmental authorities to strengthen cross-border oversight of law enforcement and judicial cooperation, to enhance supervision over China-based companies listed overseas, and to establish and improve the system of extraterritorial application of the PRC securities laws. On December 24, 2021, the CSRC published the Provisions of the State Council on the Administration of Overseas Securities Offering and Listing by Domestic Companies (the “Administration Provisions”), and the Administrative Measures for the Filing of Overseas Securities Offering and Listing by Domestic Companies (the “Measures”) for public comment.

Furthermore, on December 28, 2021, the CAC, the NDRC and several other administrations jointly issued the Revised Review Measures, which became effective and replaced the existing Measures for Cybersecurity Review on February 15, 2022. According to the Revised Review Measures, if an “online platform operator” that is in possession of personal data of more than one million users intends to list in a foreign country, it must apply for a cybersecurity review. Moreover, the CAC released the draft of the Regulations on Network Data Security Management in November 2021 for public consultation, which among other things, stipulates that a data processor listed overseas must conduct an annual data security review by itself or by engaging a data security service provider and submit the annual data security review report for a given year to the municipal cybersecurity department before January 31 of the following year. On July 7, 2022, the CAC released the Measures for the Security Assessment of Cross-Border Data, which became effective on September 1, 2022. Given the recent issuance of the Measures for the Security Assessment of Cross-Border Data, there is a general lack of guidance and substantial uncertainties exist with respect to their interpretation and implementation.

We manufacture and sell our products and services in China. Our subsidiaries in China do not collect or store any data (including certain personal information) from our individual end-users, who may be PRC individuals. As of the date of this prospectus, we have not collected and stored personal information from our individual end-users. As a result, the likelihood of us being subject to the review of the CAC is remote. As of the date of this prospectus, we have been advised by DeHeng Law Offices (Shenzhen), our counsel as to PRC law, that this offering in the U.S. is not subject to the review or prior approval of the CAC, except for completing the filing procedures with the CSRC before this offering. Uncertainties still exist, however, due to the possibility that laws, regulations, or policies in China could change rapidly in the future. Any future action by the PRC government expanding the categories of industries and companies whose foreign securities offerings are subject to review by the CAC could significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors and could cause the value of such securities to significantly decline or be worthless.

The Regulations on Mergers and Acquisitions of Domestic Enterprises by Foreign Investors, or the M&A Rules, require an overseas special purpose vehicle that is controlled by PRC companies or individuals formed for the purpose of seeking a public listing on an overseas stock exchange through acquisitions of PRC domestic companies using shares of such special purpose vehicle or held by its shareholders as considerations to obtain the approval of the CSRC, prior to the listing and trading of such special purpose vehicle’s securities on an overseas stock exchange. However, the application of the M&A Rules remains unclear. If CSRC approval in connection with the M&A Rules is required, it is uncertain whether it would be possible for us to obtain the approval. Any failure to obtain or delay in obtaining such CSRC approval for this offering would subject us to sanctions imposed by the CSRC and other PRC regulators.

While the application of the M&A Rules remains unclear, we believe that the CSRC approval is not required in connection with the M&A Rules, because (1) the CSRC currently has not issued any definitive rule or interpretation concerning whether offerings under this prospectus are subject to the M&A Rules; and (2) our PRC Subsidiaries were not established by merger with or acquisition of PRC domestic companies as defined under the M&A Rules. However, uncertainties still exist as to how the M&A Rules will be interpreted and implemented, and the opinion of our PRC counsel is subject to any new laws, rules, and regulations or detailed implementations and interpretations in any form relating to the M&A Rules. We cannot assure you that the relevant PRC government agencies, including the CSRC, would reach the same conclusion as our PRC counsel. If the CSRC or other PRC regulatory body subsequently determines that we need to obtain the CSRC’s approval for this offering or if the CSRC or any other PRC government authorities promulgates any interpretation or implements rules that would require us to obtain CSRC or other governmental approvals for any such offering, we may face adverse actions or sanctions by the CSRC or other PRC regulatory agencies, which may include fines and penalties on our operations in China, limitations on our operating privileges in China, delays in or restrictions on the repatriation of the proceeds from any such offering into China, restrictions on or prohibition of the payments or remittance of dividends by our subsidiaries in China, or other actions that could have a material and adverse effect on our business, reputation, financial condition, results of operations, 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 any such offering before the settlement and delivery of the Ordinary Shares that we are offering. In addition, if the CSRC or other regulatory agencies later promulgate new rules or explanations requiring that we obtain their approvals for this offering, we may be unable to obtain a waiver of such approval requirements.

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 Severe and Lawful Crackdown on Illegal Securities Activities, which were made available to the public on July 6, 2021. These opinions emphasized the need to strengthen the administration over illegal securities activities and the supervision on overseas listings by China-based companies. These opinions proposed to take effective measures, such as promoting the construction of relevant regulatory systems, to deal with the risks and incidents facing China-based overseas-listed companies and the demand for cybersecurity and data privacy protection. Moreover, on December 28, 2021, the CAC and other ministries and commissions (including the CSRC) announced the adoption of the Cybersecurity Review Measures, which became effective on February 15, 2022 and provide that network platform operators possessing personal information of more than one million individual users must undergo a cybersecurity review by the CAC when they seek to have their securities listed on a foreign stock exchange. These policies and any related implementation rules to be enacted may subject us to additional compliance requirements. As of the date of this prospectus, no official guidance or related implementation rules have been issued in relation to these recently issued opinions, and the interpretation and implementation of these opinions remain unclear at this stage.

On February 17, 2023, the CSRC issued the Overseas Listing Regulations. The Overseas Listing Regulations require that a PRC domestic enterprise seeking to issue and list its shares overseas shall complete the filing procedures with the CSRC. The required filing materials shall include but not be limited to: (1) filing report and relevant commitments; and (2) domestic legal opinions. According to the Notice on the Management Arrangements for Overseas Issuance and Listing of Domestic Enterprises issued by CSRC on the same day, we need to complete the filing procedures with CSRC before our listing on U.S. exchanges. We will submit the filing with the CSRC after the submission of this draft registration statement.

Except for the CSRC filing for this issuance and listing, no effective laws or regulations in the PRC explicitly require us to seek approval from any other PRC governmental authorities for our overseas listing plan, nor has our company or any of our subsidiaries received any inquiry, notice, warning or sanctions regarding our planned overseas listing from the CSRC or any other PRC governmental authorities.

Table of Contents

We cannot assure you that we will remain fully compliant with all new regulatory requirements of these opinions or any future implementation rules on a timely basis, or at all. If we are subject to additional requirements that we obtain the approval or clearance from either the CSRC, the CAC or any other regulators in China for this offering but fail to obtain such approval or clearance, we will not be able to pursue this offering any further. If we attempt to pursue this offering without obtaining such approval or clearance from regulators in China, even if it is rejected or granted, but later rescinded, or if we inadvertently conclude that such approvals are not required, we may face severe and expansive sanctions imposed by regulators in China, including fines and penalties on our operations in China, limitations on our operating privileges in China, delays in or restrictions on the repatriation of the proceeds from this offering into the PRC, restrictions on or prohibition of the payments or remittance of dividends by our subsidiaries in China, forced delisting of the Ordinary Shares, or other actions that could have a material and adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, reputation and prospects, as well as the trading price of the Ordinary Shares. The CSRC or other regulators in China may also take actions requiring us, or making it advisable for us, to halt this offering before the settlement and delivery of the Ordinary Shares that we are offering. Consequently, if you engage in market trading or other activities in anticipation of and prior to the settlement and delivery of the Ordinary Shares we are offering, you would be doing so at the risk that the settlement and delivery may not occur. In addition, if the CSRC or other regulators in China later promulgate new rules or explanations requiring that we obtain their approvals for this offering, we may be unable to obtain a waiver of such approval requirements.

We must remit the offering proceeds to China before they may be used to benefit our business in China, and we cannot assure that we can finish all necessary governmental registration processes in a timely manner.

The proceeds of this offering must be sent back to China, and the process for sending such proceeds back to China may take several months after the closing of this offering. In utilizing the proceeds of this offering in the manner described in “Use of Proceeds,” as an offshore holding company of our PRC Subsidiaries, we may make loans to our PRC Subsidiaries, or we may make additional capital contributions to our PRC Subsidiaries. Any shareholder loan or additional capital contribution are subject to PRC regulations. For example, loans by us or making additional capital contribution to our subsidiaries in China, which are foreign-invested enterprises, or FIEs, to finance their activities cannot exceed statutory limits, while the shareholder loan must be also registered with the State Administration of Foreign Exchange, or SAFE. The statutory limit for the total amount of foreign debts of a foreign-invested company is the difference between the amount of total investment as approved by MOFCOM or its local counterpart and the amount of registered capital of such foreign-invested company.

To remit the proceeds of this offering, we must take the steps legally required under the PRC laws. In light of the various requirements imposed by PRC regulations on loans to, and direct investment in, PRC entities by offshore holding companies, we cannot assure you that we will be able to complete the necessary government registrations or obtain the necessary government approvals on a timely basis, if at all, with respect to future loans by us to our PRC Subsidiaries or with respect to future capital contributions by us to our PRC Subsidiaries. If we fail to complete such registrations or obtain such approvals, our ability to use the proceeds from this offering and to capitalize or otherwise fund our PRC operations may be negatively affected, which could materially and adversely affect our liquidity, our ability to fund and expand our business and our Ordinary Shares.

You may experience difficulties in effecting service of legal process, enforcing foreign judgments or bringing actions in China against us or our management named in the prospectus based on foreign laws.

We conduct all of our operations in China, and all of our assets are located in China. In addition, our current officers reside within China and are PRC nationals. As a result, it may be difficult for our shareholders to effect service of process upon us or those persons inside the PRC. In addition, the PRC does not have treaties providing for the reciprocal recognition and enforcement of judgments of courts with the Cayman Islands and many other countries and regions. Therefore, recognition and enforcement in the PRC of judgments of a court in any of these non-PRC jurisdictions in relation to any matter not subject to a binding arbitration provision may be difficult or impossible.

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 our business.

We rely principally on dividends and other distributions on equity from our PRC Subsidiaries for our cash requirements, including for services of any debt we may incur.

Our PRC Subsidiaries’ ability to distribute dividends is based upon their distributable earnings. Current PRC regulations permit our PRC Subsidiaries to pay dividends to their respective shareholders only out of their accumulated profits, if any, determined in accordance with PRC accounting standards and regulations. In addition, each of our PRC Subsidiaries, as an FIE, is required to draw 10% of its after-tax profits each year, if any, to fund a common reserve, which may stop drawing its after-tax profits if the aggregate balance of the common reserve has already accounted for over 50 percent of its registered capital. These reserves are not distributable as cash dividends. 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 payments to us. Any limitation on the ability of our PRC Subsidiaries to distribute dividends or other payments to their respective shareholders could materially and adversely limit our ability to grow, make investments or acquisitions that could be beneficial to our business, pay dividends or otherwise fund and conduct our business.

Table of Contents

In addition, the Enterprise Income Tax Law and its implementation rules provide that a withholding tax rate of up to 10% will be applicable to dividends payable by Chinese 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.

PRC regulation of loans to and direct investment in PRC entities by offshore holding companies and governmental control of currency conversion may delay us from using the proceeds of this offering to make loans or additional capital contributions to our PRC Subsidiaries, which could materially and adversely affect our liquidity and our ability to fund and expand our business.

Any funds we transfer to our PRC Subsidiaries, either as a shareholder loan or as an increase in registered capital, are subject to approval by or registration with relevant governmental authorities in China. According to the relevant PRC regulations on FIEs, in China, capital contributions to our PRC Subsidiaries are subject to the approval of or filing with the Ministry of Commerce, or MOFCOM or its local branches and registration with a local bank authorized by the SAFE. In addition, (i) a foreign loan of less one year duration procured by our PRC Subsidiaries is required to be registered with SAFE or its local branches and (ii) a foreign loan of one year duration or more procured by our PRC Subsidiaries is required to be applied to the NDRC in advance for undergoing recordation registration formalities. Any medium or long-term loan to be provided by us to our PRC Subsidiaries must be registered with the NDRC and the SAFE or its local branches. We may not be able to complete such registrations on a timely basis, with respect to future capital contributions or foreign loans by us to our PRC Subsidiaries. If we fail to complete such registrations, our ability to use the proceeds of this offering and to capitalize our PRC operations may be negatively affected, which could adversely affect our liquidity and our ability to fund and expand our business.

On March 30, 2015, the SAFE promulgated the Circular on Reforming the Management Approach Regarding the Foreign Exchange Capital Settlement of Foreign-Invested Enterprises, or SAFE Circular 19, which took effect as of June 1, 2015. SAFE Circular 19 launched a nationwide reform of the administration of the settlement of the foreign exchange capitals of FIEs and allows FIEs to settle their foreign exchange capital at their discretion, but continues to prohibit FIEs from using the Renminbi fund converted from their foreign exchange capital for expenditure beyond their business scopes, providing entrusted loans or repaying loans between nonfinancial enterprises. The SAFE issued the Circular on Reforming and Regulating Policies on the Control over Foreign Exchange Settlement of Capital Accounts, or SAFE Circular 16, effective in June 2016. Pursuant to SAFE Circular 16, enterprises registered in China may also convert their foreign debts from foreign currency to Renminbi on a self-discretionary basis. SAFE Circular 16 provides an integrated standard for conversion of foreign exchange under capital account items (including but not limited to foreign currency capital and foreign debts) on a self-discretionary basis which applies to all enterprises registered in China. SAFE Circular 16 reiterates the principle that Renminbi converted from foreign currency-denominated capital of a company may not be directly or indirectly used for purposes beyond its business scope or prohibited by PRC laws or regulations, while such converted Renminbi shall not be provided as loans to its non-affiliated entities. As this circular is relatively new, there remains uncertainty as to its interpretation and application and any other future foreign exchange related rules. Violations of these Circulars could result in severe monetary or other penalties. SAFE Circular 19 and SAFE Circular 16 may significantly limit our ability to use Renminbi converted from the net proceeds of this offering to fund our PRC operating subsidiary, to invest in or acquire any other PRC companies through our PRC Subsidiaries, which may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our Ordinary Shares may be delisted under the HFCA Act if the PCAOB is unable to inspect our auditors for two consecutive years. The delisting of our Ordinary Shares, or the threat of their being delisted, may materially and adversely affect the value of your investment.

The HFCA Act, or the HFCA Act, was enacted on December 18, 2020. The HFCA Act states if the SEC determines that a company has filed audit reports issued by a registered public accounting firm that has not been subject to inspection by the PCAOB for three consecutive years beginning in 2021, the SEC shall prohibit such Ordinary Shares from being traded on a national securities exchange or in the over the counter trading market in the U.S. On December 23, 2022, the Accelerating Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act (“AHFCA Act”) was enacted, which 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. As a result, the time period before our Ordinary Shares may be prohibited from trading or delisted has been reduced accordingly.

On March 24, 2021, the SEC adopted interim final rules relating to the implementation of certain disclosure and documentation requirements of the HFCA Act. A company will be required to comply with these rules if the SEC identifies it as having a “non-inspection” year under a process to be subsequently established by the SEC. 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 PCAOB 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 issued amendments to finalize rules implementing the submission and disclosure requirements in the HFCA Act. 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 PCAOB is unable to inspect or investigate completely because of a position taken by an authority in foreign jurisdictions. On December 16, 2021, the PCAOB issued a Determination Report which found that the PCAOB was unable to inspect or investigate completely registered public accounting firms headquartered in: (i) China, and (ii) Hong Kong. Our auditor is not headquartered in China or Hong Kong and was not identified in this report as a firm subject to the PCAOB’s determination.

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 Ordinary Shares to fall, divert management resources and energy, cause us to incur expenses in defending ourselves against rumors, and increase the premiums we pay for director and officer insurance.

Our auditor, HTL International, LLC, 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’s registration with the PCAOB took effect in September 2020 and it is currently subject to PCAOB inspections. The PCAOB currently has access to inspect the working papers of our auditor. 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 after considering the effectiveness of our auditor’s audit procedures and quality control procedures, adequacy of personnel and training, or sufficiency of resources, geographic reach or experience as it relates to the audit of our financial statements.

The SEC may propose additional rules or guidance that could impact us if our auditor is not subject to PCAOB inspection. For example, on August 6, 2020, the President’s Working Group on Financial Markets, or the PWG, issued the Report on Protecting United States Investors from Significant Risks from Chinese Companies to the then President of the United States. This report recommended the SEC implement five recommendations to address companies from jurisdictions that do not provide the PCAOB with sufficient access to fulfil its statutory mandate. Some of the concepts of these recommendations were implemented with the enactment of the HFCA Act. However, some of the recommendations were more stringent than the HFCA Act. For example, if a company’s auditor was not subject to PCAOB inspection, the report recommended that the transition period before a company would be delisted would end on January 1, 2022.

Table of Contents

On August 26, 2022, the CSRC, the Ministry of Finance of the PRC, and PCAOB signed a Statement of Protocol, or the Protocol, governing inspections and investigations of audit firms based in China and Hong Kong. Pursuant to the Protocol, the PCAOB has independent discretion to select any issuer audits for inspection or investigation and has the unfettered ability to transfer information to the SEC. However, uncertainties still exist whether the framework will be fully complied, which could cause the market price of our Ordinary Shares to be materially and adversely affected, and our securities could be delisted and prohibited from being traded on the national securities exchange earlier than would be required by the HFCA Act. If our securities are unable to be listed on another securities exchange by then, such a delisting would substantially impair your ability to sell or purchase our Ordinary Shares when you wish to do so, and the risk and uncertainty associated with a potential delisting would have a negative impact on the price of our Ordinary Shares. On December 15, 2022, the PCAOB issued a Determination Report which determined that the PCAOB (1) is able to select engagements, audit areas, and potential violations to be reviewed or investigated, (2) has timely access to, and the ability to retain and use, any document or information that the PCAOB considers relevant to an inspection or investigation, and (3) is able to conduct inspections and investigations in a manner consistent with the provisions of the Act and the rules of the PCAOB, as interpreted and applied by the PCAOB. Consequently, the PCAOB concluded that in the absence of any evidence that authorities in the PRC currently are taking any positions to impair the PCAOB’s ability to execute its statutory mandate with respect to inspections or investigations, the HFCA Act dictates that the PCAOB vacate the 2021 Determinations. As required by the HFCA Act, if in the future the PCAOB determines it no longer can inspect or investigate completely because of a position taken by an authority in the PRC, the PCAOB will act expeditiously to consider whether the PCAOB should issue a new determination.

Fluctuations in exchange rates could have a material and adverse effect on our results of operations and the value of your investment.

The value of the Renminbi against the U.S. dollar and other currencies may fluctuate and is affected by, among other things, changes in political and economic conditions and the foreign exchange policy adopted by the PRC government. It is difficult to predict how long such appreciation of RMB against the U.S. dollar may last and when and how the relationship between the RMB and the U.S. dollar may change again. All of our revenues and substantially all of our costs are denominated in Renminbi. We rely on dividends paid by our operating subsidiaries in China for our cash needs. Any significant revaluation of Renminbi may materially and adversely affect our results of operations and financial position reported in Renminbi when translated into U.S. dollars, and the value of, and any dividends payable on, the Ordinary Shares in U.S. dollars. To the extent that we need to convert U.S. dollars into Renminbi for our operations, appreciation of the Renminbi against the U.S. dollar would have an adverse effect on the Renminbi amount we would receive. Conversely, if we decide to convert our Renminbi into U.S. dollars for the purpose of making payments for dividends on our Ordinary Shares or for other business purposes, appreciation of the U.S. dollar against the Renminbi would have a negative effect on the U.S. dollar amount.

On July 4, 2014, SAFE promulgated the Circular on Relevant Issues Relating to Domestic Resident’s Investment and Financing and Roundtrip Investment through Special Purpose Vehicles, or SAFE Circular 37, which replaced the former Notice on Relevant Issues Concerning Foreign Exchange Administration for PRC Residents to Engage in Financing and Inbound Investment via Overseas Special Purpose Vehicles (generally known as SAFE Circular 75) promulgated by SAFE on October 21, 2005. On February 13, 2015, SAFE further promulgated the Circular on Further Simplifying and Improving the Administration of the Foreign Exchange Concerning Direct Investment, or SAFE Circular 13, which took effect on June 1, 2015. This SAFE Circular 13 has amended SAFE Circular 37 by requiring PRC residents or entities to register with qualified banks rather than SAFE or its local branch in connection with their direct establishment or indirect control of an offshore entity established for the purpose of overseas investment or financing with such PRC residents’ legally owned assets or equity interests in domestic enterprises or offshore assets or interests. Qualified local banks will examine and handle foreign exchange registration for overseas direct investment, including the initial foreign exchange registration and amendment registration, under SAFE Circular 37 since June 1, 2015.

According to Circular 37 and Circular 13, our shareholders or beneficial owners who are PRC residents are subject to Circular 37 or other foreign exchange administrative regulations in respect of their investment in our Company. If our shareholders who are PRC residents or entities do not complete their registration with the local SAFE branches, our PRC Subsidiaries may be prohibited from distributing their profits and any proceeds from any reduction in capital, share transfer or liquidation to us, and we may be restricted in our ability to contribute additional capital to our PRC Subsidiaries. Moreover, failure to comply with SAFE registration requirements could result in liability under PRC laws for evasion of applicable foreign exchange restrictions.

To the best of our knowledge, our PRC resident shareholders who: (i) directly or indirectly hold shares in our Cayman Islands holding company and (ii) are known to us, have completed the application for foreign exchange registrations for their foreign investment in our company in accordance with Circular 37 and Circular 13.

Failure to make adequate contributions to various employee benefit plans and withhold individual income tax on employees’ salaries as required by PRC regulations may subject us to penalties.

Companies operating in China are required to participate in various government-mandated employee benefit contribution plans, including certain social insurance, housing funds and other welfare-oriented payment obligations, and contribute to the plans in amounts equal to certain percentages of salaries, including bonuses and allowances, of our employees up to a maximum amount specified by the local government from time to time at locations where we operate our businesses. The requirement of employee benefit contribution plans has not been implemented consistently by the local governments in China given the different levels of economic development in different locations. Companies operating in China are also required to withhold individual income tax on employees’ salaries based on the actual salary of each employee upon payment. Should we fail to make adequate contributions to employee benefit plans or under-withhold individual income tax, we may be subject to late fees and fines and our financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected.

We do not hold a special vehicle production permission to produce special vehicles as requested by the Chinese Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, so we rely on a collaborative outsourcing model to provide final products to customers. While this approach reduces the initial operational investment in large fixed assets, it also brings policy risks and business expansion bottlenecks. If the government does not allow outsourcing or if our business demand exceeds the outsourcing factory’s capacity in the future, it could severely restrict our growth and adversely affect the value of your investment. We plan to use a part of the IPO proceeds to establish a qualified factory and to obtain specialized vehicle permission, however, there is no guarantee that we can obtain the permission in a timely manner or whether we can obtain the permission at all.

We face uncertainty with respect to indirect transfers of equity interests in PRC resident enterprises by their non-PRC holding companies.

On February 3, 2015, the SAT issued the Public Notice Regarding Certain Corporate Income Tax Matters on Indirect Transfer of Properties by Non-Tax Resident Enterprises, or SAT Bulletin 7. SAT Bulletin 7 extends its tax jurisdiction to transactions involving the transfer of taxable assets through offshore transfer of a foreign intermediate holding company. In addition, SAT Bulletin 7 has introduced safe harbors for internal group restructurings and the purchase and sale of equity through a public securities market. SAT Bulletin 7 also brings challenges to both foreign transferor and transferee (or other person who is obligated to pay for the transfer) of taxable assets, as such persons need to determine whether their transactions are subject to these rules and whether any withholding obligation applies.

On October 17, 2017, the SAT issued the Announcement of the State Administration of Taxation on Issues Concerning the Withholding of Non-resident Enterprise Income Tax at Source, or SAT Bulletin 37, which came into effect on December 1, 2017. The SAT Bulletin 37 further clarifies the practice and procedure of the withholding of non-resident enterprise income tax.

Where a non-resident enterprise transfers taxable assets indirectly by disposing of the equity interests of an overseas holding company, which is an “Indirect Transfer,” the non-resident enterprise as either transferor or transferee, or the PRC entity that directly owns the taxable assets, may report such Indirect Transfer to the relevant tax authority. 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 pays 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. Both the transferor and the transferee may be subject to penalties under PRC tax laws if the transferee fails to withhold the taxes and the transferor fails to pay the taxes.

We 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 and 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 transactions, under SAT Bulletin 7 and/or SAT Bulletin 37. For transfer of shares in our company by investors who are non-PRC resident enterprises, our PRC Subsidiaries may be requested to assist in the filing under SAT Bulletin 7 and/or SAT Bulletin 37. As a result, we may be required to expend valuable resources to comply with SAT Bulletin 7 and/or SAT Bulletin 37 or to request the relevant transferors from whom we purchase taxable assets to comply with these circulars, or to establish that our company should not be taxed under these circulars, which may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

You may experience difficulties in effecting service of process, enforcing foreign judgments or bringing actions in China against us or our management named in this prospectus based on foreign laws.

STAK Inc. is incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands, but all of our operations and assets are held by our operating subsidiaries in China. In addition, all of our assets are located in China and all of our senior executive officers and directors reside within China for a significant portion of the time. As a result, it may be difficult or impossible for investors to effect service of process on us inside China. It may also be difficult for you to enforce in U.S. courts judgments obtained in U.S. courts based on the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities laws against us and our officers and directors. Moreover, there is uncertainty as to whether the courts of the PRC would recognize or enforce judgments of U.S. courts against us or such persons predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state.

Table of Contents

The recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments are provided for under the PRC Civil Procedures Law. PRC courts may recognize and enforce foreign judgments in accordance with the requirements of the PRC Civil Procedures Law based either on treaties between China and the country where the judgment is made or on principles of reciprocity between jurisdictions. China does not have any treaties or other forms of written arrangement with the United States that provide for the reciprocal recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments. In addition, according to the PRC Civil Procedures Law, the PRC courts will not enforce a foreign judgment against us or our directors and officers if they decide that the judgment violates the basic principles of PRC laws or national sovereignty, security or public interest. As a result, it is uncertain whether and on what basis a PRC court would enforce a judgment rendered by a court in the United States or in the Cayman Islands. In addition, it will be difficult for U.S. shareholders to originate actions against us in China in accordance with PRC laws because we are incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands and it will be difficult for U.S. shareholders, by virtue only of holding our Ordinary Shares, to establish a connection to the PRC for a PRC court to have jurisdiction as required under the PRC Civil Procedures Law.

Risks Related to This Offering and the Ordinary Shares

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

Prior to this initial public offering, there has been no public market for our Ordinary Shares. We plan to list the Ordinary Shares on the Nasdaq Capital Market. Our Ordinary Shares will not be listed on any exchange or quoted for trading on any over-the-counter trading system. If an active trading market for the Ordinary Shares does not develop after this offering, the market price and liquidity of the Ordinary Shares will be materially and adversely affected.

Negotiations with the underwriters will determine the initial public offering price for the Ordinary Shares which may bear no relationship to their market price after the initial public offering. We cannot assure you that an active trading market for the Ordinary Shares will develop or that the market price of the Ordinary Shares will not decline below the initial public offering price.

The market price for the Ordinary Shares may be volatile.

The trading prices of the Ordinary Shares are likely to be volatile and could fluctuate widely due to factors beyond our control. This may happen because of broad market and industry factors, like the performance and fluctuation in the market prices or the underperformance or deteriorating financial results of internet or other companies based in China that have listed their securities in the United States in recent years. The securities of some of these companies have experienced significant volatility since their initial public offerings, including, in some cases, substantial price declines in their trading prices. The trading performances of other Chinese companies’ securities after their offerings, including internet and e-commerce companies, may affect the attitudes of investors toward Chinese companies listed in the United States, which consequently may impact the trading performance of the Ordinary Shares, regardless of our actual operating performance. In addition, any negative news or perceptions about inadequate corporate governance practices or fraudulent accounting, corporate structure or other matters of other Chinese companies may also negatively affect the attitudes of investors towards Chinese companies in general, including us, regardless of whether we have conducted any inappropriate activities. In addition, securities markets may from time to time experience significant price and volume fluctuations that are not related to our operating performance.

Table of Contents

In addition to the above factors, the price and trading volume of the Ordinary Shares may be highly volatile due to multiple factors, including the following:

	●	regulatory developments affecting us, our consumers or our industry;

	●	conditions in the global demand for oil which may directly affect on our business;

	●	announcements of studies and reports relating to the quality of our product and service offerings or those of our competitors;

	●	changes in the economic performance or market valuations of other oilfield automation machinery services businesses;

	●	actual or anticipated fluctuations in our quarterly results of operations and changes or revisions of our expected results;

	●	changes in financial estimates by securities research analysts;

	●	announcements by us or our competitors of new product and service offerings, acquisitions, strategic relationships, joint ventures or capital commitments;

	●	additions to or departures of our senior management;

	●	detrimental negative publicity about us, our management or our industry;

	●	fluctuations of exchange rates between the Renminbi and the U.S. dollar;

	●	release or expiry of lock-up or other transfer restrictions on our outstanding Ordinary Shares; and

	●	sales or perceived potential sales of additional Ordinary Shares.

The trading market for the Ordinary Shares will depend in part on the research and reports that securities or industry analysts publish about us or our business. If research analysts do not establish and maintain adequate research coverage or if one or more of the analysts who cover us downgrade the Ordinary Shares or publish inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business, the market price for our Ordinary Shares would likely decline. If one or more of these analysts cease coverage of our company or fail to publish reports on us regularly, we could lose visibility in the financial markets, which, in turn, could cause the market price or trading volume for the Ordinary Shares to decline.

The trading market for our Ordinary Shares will be influenced by research or reports that industry or securities analysts publish about our business. If industry or securities analysts decide to cover us and in the future downgrade our Ordinary Shares, the market price for our Ordinary Shares would likely decline. If one or more of these analysts cease to cover us or fail to regularly publish reports on us, we could lose visibility in the financial markets, which in turn could cause the market price or trading volume for our Ordinary Shares to decline.

Because our initial public offering price is substantially higher than our net tangible book value per share, you will experience immediate and substantial dilution.

If you purchase Ordinary Shares in this offering, you will pay more for your Ordinary Shares than the amount paid per share by our existing shareholders for their Ordinary Shares. As a result, you will experience immediate and substantial dilution of approximately US$[●] per Ordinary Share, representing the difference between the initial public offering price of US$[●] per Ordinary Share and our net tangible book value per Ordinary Share as of [*], 2023 after giving effect to the net proceeds to us from this offering. In addition, you may experience further dilution to the extent that our Ordinary Shares are issued upon the exercise of any share options. See “Dilution” for a more complete description of how the value of your investment in the Ordinary Shares will be diluted upon completion of this offering.

Because we do not expect to pay dividends in the foreseeable future after this offering, you must rely on price appreciation of the Ordinary Shares for return on your investment.

We currently intend to retain most, if not all, of our available funds and any future earnings after this offering to fund the development and growth of our business. As a result, we do not expect to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Therefore, you should not rely on an investment in the Ordinary Shares as a source for any future dividend income.

Our board of directors has complete discretion as to whether to distribute dividends, subject to certain restrictions under Cayman Islands law. In addition, our shareholders may by ordinary resolution declare a dividend, but no dividend may exceed the amount recommended by our board of directors. Under Cayman Islands law, a Cayman Islands company may pay a dividend out of either profit or share premium account, provided that in no circumstances may a dividend be paid if this would result in the company being unable to pay its debts as they fall due in the ordinary course of business. Even if our board of directors decides to declare and 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. Accordingly, the return on your investment in our Ordinary Shares will likely depend entirely upon any future price appreciation of our Ordinary Shares. There is no guarantee that our Ordinary Shares will appreciate in value after this offering or even maintain the price at which you purchased the Ordinary Shares. You may not realize a return on your investment in our Ordinary Shares and you may even lose your entire investment in our Ordinary Shares.

Substantial future sales or perceived potential sales of Ordinary Shares in the public market could cause the price of the Ordinary Shares to decline.

Sales of Ordinary Shares in the public market after this offering, or the perception that these sales could occur, could cause the market price of the Ordinary Shares to decline. Immediately after the completion of this offering, we will have [●] Ordinary Shares outstanding, assuming the underwriters do not exercise their over-allotment option. All Ordinary Shares sold in this offering will be freely transferable without restriction or additional registration under the Securities Act. All of our executive officers and directors and shareholders have agreed not to sell our Ordinary Shares for a period of six months following the closing of this offering, subject to extension under specified circumstances. Ordinary Shares subject to these lock-up agreements will become eligible for sale in the public market upon expiration of these lock-up agreements, subject to volume and other restrictions as applicable under Rules 144 and 701 under the Securities Act. To the extent shares are released before the expiration of the lock-up period and sold into the market, the market price of the Ordinary Shares could decline. Moreover, the perceived risk of this potential dilution could cause shareholders to attempt to sell their shares and investors to short our Ordinary Shares. These sales also may make it more difficult for us to sell equity or equity-related securities in the future at a time and price that we deem reasonable or appropriate.

You must rely on the judgment of our management as to the use of the net proceeds from this offering, and such use may not produce income or increase the price of our Ordinary Shares.

As of June 30, 2023, our cash and cash equivalent were RMB4.3 million (US$0.6 million). Immediately following the completion of this offering, we expect to receive net offering proceeds of approximately US$[*] after deducting underwriting discounts and the estimated offering expenses payable by us. We intend to use these funds as set forth under “Use of Proceeds.” However, our management will have considerable discretion in the application of the net proceeds received by us. You will not have the opportunity, as part of your investment decision, to assess whether proceeds are being used appropriately. The net proceeds may be used for corporate purposes that do not improve our efforts to achieve or maintain profitability or increase the price of our Ordinary Shares. The net proceeds from this offering may be placed in investments that do not produce income or that lose value.

We may require additional cash resources due to changed business conditions or other future developments, including any investments or acquisitions we may decide to pursue. If our cash resources are insufficient to satisfy our cash requirements, we may seek to sell additional equity or debt securities or obtain a credit facility. The sale of additional equity securities or equity-linked debt securities could result in additional dilution to our shareholders. The incurrence of indebtedness would result in debt service obligations and could result in operating and financing covenants that would restrict our operations. We cannot assure you that financing will be available in amounts or terms acceptable to us, if at all.

Certain existing shareholders have substantial influence over our company and their interests may not be aligned with the interests of our other shareholders.

Upon the completion of this offering, our directors and officers will collectively own an aggregate of [  ]% of the total voting power of our outstanding Ordinary Shares, assuming the underwriters do not exercise their over-allotment option. As a result, they have substantial influence over our business, including significant corporate actions such as mergers, consolidations, election of directors and other significant corporate actions.

They may take actions that are not in the best interest of us or our other shareholders. This concentration of ownership may discourage, delay or prevent a change in control of our company, which could deprive our shareholders of an opportunity to receive a premium for their shares as part of a sale of our company and may reduce the price of the Ordinary Shares. These actions may be taken even if they are opposed by our other shareholders, including those who purchase Ordinary Shares in this offering. In addition, the significant concentration of share ownership may adversely affect the trading price of the Ordinary Shares due to investors’ perception that conflicts of interest may exist or arise. For more information regarding our principal shareholders and their affiliated entities, see “Principal Shareholders.”

We are an emerging growth company within the meaning of the Securities Act and may take advantage of certain reduced reporting requirements.

We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the JOBS Act, and we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various requirements applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, most significantly, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 so long as we are an emerging growth company. As a result, if we elect not to comply with such auditor attestation requirements, our investors may not have access to certain information they may deem important.

In addition, under the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies can also delay adopting new or revised accounting standards until such time as those standards apply to private companies. We have elected to avail ourselves of an exemption that allows us to delay adopting new or revised accounting standards until such time as those standards apply to private companies. As a result, we will not be subject to the same new or revised accounting standards as other public companies that comply with the public company effective dates. We have also elected to take advantage of certain of the reduced disclosure obligations in the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part and may elect to take advantage of other reduced reporting requirements in future filings. As a result of these elections, the information that we provide to our shareholders may be different than you might receive from other public reporting companies.

We are a foreign private issuer within the meaning of the rules under the Exchange Act, and as such we are exempt from certain provisions applicable to U.S. domestic public companies.

Because we qualify as a foreign private issuer under the Exchange Act, we are exempt from certain provisions of the securities rules and regulations in the United States that are applicable to U.S. domestic issuers, including:

	●	the rules under the Exchange Act requiring the filing with the SEC of quarterly reports on Form 10-Q or current reports on Form 8-K;

	●	the sections of the Exchange Act regulating the solicitation of proxies, consents or authorizations in respect of a security registered under the Exchange Act;

	●	the sections of the Exchange Act requiring insiders to file public reports of their stock ownership and trading activities and liability for insiders who profit from trades made in a short period of time; and

	●	the selective disclosure rules by issuers of material nonpublic information under Regulation FD.

We will be required to file an annual report on Form 20-F within four months of the end of each fiscal year. In addition, we intend to publish our results on a semi-annual basis as press releases, distributed pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Nasdaq Capital Market. Press releases relating to financial results and material events will also be furnished to the SEC on Form 6-K. However, the information we are required to file with or furnish to the SEC will be less extensive and less timely compared to that required to be filed with the SEC by U.S. domestic issuers. As a result, you may not be afforded the same protections or information that would be made available to you were you investing in a U.S. domestic issuer.

As a company incorporated in the Cayman Islands, we are permitted to adopt certain home country practices in relation to corporate governance matters that differ significantly from the Nasdaq Capital Market corporate governance requirements; these practices may afford less protection to shareholders than they would enjoy if we complied fully with the Nasdaq Capital Market corporate governance requirements. Currently, we do not have any immediate plans to rely on home country practice with respect to our corporate governance after the completion of this offering.

We may lose our foreign private issuer status in the future, which could result in significant additional costs and expenses.

As discussed above, we are a foreign private issuer, and therefore, we are not required to comply with all of the periodic disclosure and current reporting requirements of the Exchange Act. The determination of foreign private issuer status is made annually on the last business day of an issuer’s most recently completed second fiscal quarter. We would lose our foreign private issuer status if, for example, more than 50% of our Ordinary Shares are directly or indirectly held by residents of the U.S. and we fail to meet additional requirements necessary to maintain our foreign private issuer status. In the future, if we lose our foreign private issuer status as of the last date of our second fiscal quarter, we would be required to file with the SEC periodic reports and registration statements on U.S. domestic issuer forms beginning on the following January 1, which are more detailed and extensive than the forms available to a foreign private issuer. We would also have to mandatorily comply with U.S. federal proxy requirements, and our officers, directors and principal shareholders would become subject to the short-swing profit disclosure and recovery provisions of Section 16 of the Exchange Act. In addition, we would lose our ability to rely upon exemptions from certain corporate governance requirements under the Nasdaq Capital Market listing rules. As a U.S. listed public company that is not a foreign private issuer, we would incur significant additional legal, accounting and other expenses that we will not incur as a foreign private issuer, and accounting, reporting and other expenses in order to maintain a listing on a U.S. securities exchange.

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

Upon completion of this offering, we will become a public company and expect to incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses 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 the Nasdaq Capital Market, impose various requirements on the corporate governance practices of public companies. As a company with less than US$1.235 billion in net revenues for our last fiscal year, we qualify as an “emerging growth company” pursuant to the JOBS Act. 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 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 in the assessment of the emerging growth company’s internal control over financial reporting.

We expect these rules and regulations to increase our legal and financial compliance costs and to make some corporate activities more time-consuming and costly. We expect to incur significant expenses and devote substantial management effort toward ensuring compliance with the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the other rules and regulations of the SEC. For example, as a result of becoming a public company, we will need to increase the number of independent directors and adopt policies regarding internal controls and disclosure controls and procedures. We also expect that operating as a public company will make it more difficult and more expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance, and we may be required to accept reduced policy limits and coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain the same or similar coverage. In addition, we will 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 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.

In the past, shareholders of a public company often brought securities class action suits against the company following periods of instability in the market price of that company’s securities. If we were involved in a class action suit, it could divert a significant amount of our management’s attention and other resources from our business and operations, which could harm our results of operations and require us to incur significant expenses to defend the suit. Any such class action suit, whether or not successful, could harm our reputation and restrict our ability to raise capital in the future. In addition, if a claim is successfully made against us, we may be required to pay significant damages, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

There can be no assurance that we will not be a passive foreign investment company, or PFIC, for United States federal income tax purposes for any taxable year, which could subject United States investors in the Ordinary Shares to significant adverse United States income tax consequences.

In general, we will be treated as a passive foreign investment company (“PFIC”) for any taxable year in which either (1) at least 75% of our gross income (looking through certain 25% or more-owned subsidiaries) is passive income or (2) at least 50% of the average value of our assets (looking through certain 25% or more-owned subsidiaries) is attributable to assets that produce, or are held for the production of, passive income. Passive income generally includes, without limitation, dividends, interest, rents, royalties, 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. Holder (as defined in the section of this prospectus captioned “Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations”) of our securities, the U.S. Holder may be subject to increased U.S. federal income tax liability and may be subject to additional reporting requirements. The determination of whether we are a PFIC is a fact-intensive determination made on an annual basis applying principles and methodologies that in some circumstances are unclear and subject to varying interpretation. Our actual PFIC status for any taxable year will not be determinable until after the end of such taxable year. Accordingly, there can be no assurance with respect to our status as a PFIC for our current taxable year or any subsequent taxable year. We urge U.S. Holders to consult their own tax advisors regarding the possible application of the PFIC rules in light of their individual circumstances.

USE OF PROCEEDS

We estimate that we will receive net proceeds from this offering of approximately $[  ] million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us. These estimates are based upon an assumed initial offer price of $ per share, the midpoint of the estimated range of the initial public Offer Price shown on the front cover of this prospectus.

We plan to use the net proceeds of this Offering in the following order of priority:

	●	Approximately [60]% for set up a qualified factory and to obtain specialized vehicle permission;

	●	Approximately [10]% for research and development;

	●	Approximately [30]% for working capital and other general corporate purposes.

To the extent that our actual net proceeds are not sufficient to fund all of the proposed purposes, we will decrease our allocation of the net proceeds for the purposes set out above on a pro rata basis. We would anticipate raising additional capital through equity or debt financing sufficient to fund our proposed uses above.

The amounts and timing of any expenditures will vary depending on the amount of cash generated by our operations, and the rate of growth, if any, of our business, and our plans and business conditions. 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 will have significant flexibility in applying and discretion to apply the net proceeds of the 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.

Pending deployment of the net proceeds for the uses described above, the funds may be placed in short-term deposits with financial institutions or used to invest in short-term money market instruments.

Table of Contents

DIVIDEND POLICY

We have no formal dividend policy. We currently intend to retain all available funds and any future earnings to fund the development and growth of our business and to repay indebtedness and, therefore, we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Additionally, our ability to pay dividends on our Shares is limited by various factors such as our future financial performance and bank covenants. Any future determination to pay dividends will be at the discretion of our Board of Directors, subject to compliance with covenants in current and future agreements governing our and our subsidiaries’ indebtedness, and will depend on our results of operations, financial condition, capital requirements and other factors that our Board of Directors may deem relevant.

DILUTION

If you invest in our Shares, your interest will be diluted to the extent of the difference between the initial public Offer Price per share and our net tangible book value per share after this Offering. Dilution results from the fact that the initial public Offer Price per share is substantially in excess of the book value per Ordinary Shares attributable to the existing Shareholders for our presently outstanding shares.

Net tangible book value represents the amount of our total assets, excluding goodwill and other intangible assets, less our total liabilities. Our net tangible book value as of June 30, 2023 was US$[ ], or US$[ ] per ordinary share.

After giving effect to the issuance and sale of [_________] Shares in this Offering at an assumed initial public Offer Price of US$[____] per share (the midpoint of the estimated price range set forth on the cover of this prospectus), and after deducting underwriting discounts and estimated Offering expenses payable by us, our pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value as of June 30, 2023 would have been US$[____] per outstanding ordinary share. This represents an immediate increase in net tangible book value of US$[__________] to existing shareholders and an immediate dilution in net tangible book value of US$[____] per ordinary share to investors purchasing Shares in this Offering. The following table illustrates such dilution:

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations contains forward-looking statements which involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including those set forth under “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this prospectus. We assume no obligation to update forward-looking statements or the risk factors. You should read the following discussion in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this prospectus.

Overview

We are a holding company with operating subsidiaries, and with all of our operations and assets in China. We are a fast growing company specializing in the research, development, manufacturing, and sale of oilfield-specific production and maintenance equipment. We design and manufacture the oilfield-specialized production and maintenance equipment, then collaborate with qualified specialized vehicle manufacturing companies to integrate the equipment onto vehicle chassis, producing specialized oilfield vehicles for sale. Additionally, we sell oilfield-specialized equipment components, related products, and provide automation solutions.

Our vision is to help oilfield services companies reduce costs and increase efficiency by providing the cutting-edge integrated oilfield equipment and automation solutions service. Our mission is to become a powerful provider for the niche markets of specialized oilfield vehicles and equipment in China.

Our total revenue grew rapidly from $8.1 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022 to $21.1 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023, representing a year-on-year growth rate of 160.10%. The significant increase in revenues was mainly driven by the increase in demand for specialized oilfield equipment and vehicle. Gross profit margin decreased from 36.11% for the year ended June 30, 2022 to 31.97% for the year ended June 30, 2023. The decrease was mainly driven by our business expansion in lower-margin specialized oilfield vehicles to attract more potential customers and increase our customers base, which accounted for 30.08% of the total revenue for the year ended June 30, 2023, compared with 0.15% in the same period of 2022. For the year ended June 30, 2023, the gross margin for the specialized oilfield vehicles was 25.64%, while the gross margin for the specialized oilfield equipment was 36.14%.

Key Factors that Affect Operating Results

We believe the following key factors may affect our financial condition and results of operations:

	●	our ability to maintain our major customers;

	●	our ability to attract new customers and to increase our revenue per customer;

	●	our ability to enhance our operational efficiency; and

	●	our ability to acquire sufficient parts and materials and key components from their suppliers in suitable quantity and quality.

A detailed breakdown of revenues for the years ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 is set forth below:

	For the Year Ended June 30,				Variance
	2023		2022		Amount			%
Sales of specialized oilfield equipment	$	13,919,600	$	6,393,405	$	7,526,195			117.72	%
Sales of specialized oilfield vehicles		6,361,812		12,338		6,349,474			51,462.75	%
Service income from automation solutions		271,462		1,442,233		(1,170,771	)		(81.18	)%
Others		593,589		282,236		311,353			110.32	%
Total	$	21,146,463	$	8,130,212	$	13,016,251			160.10	%

Our revenues for the years ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 were $21.1 million and $8.1 million, respectively. The 160.10% increase in revenues was mainly driven by the increase in demand for specialized oilfield equipment and vehicle.

Sales of specialized oilfield equipment increased by $7.5 million, or 117.72%, to $13.9 million for the year ended June 30, 2023 from $6.4 million for the year ended June 30, 2022. The increase was mainly because (i) the demand for specialized oilfield equipment increased significantly due to launching of new products, and the sales volume of specialized oilfield equipment increased 83.66% for the year ended June 30, 2023; and (ii) the average unit sales price of specialized oilfield equipment for the year ended June 30, 2023 increased 18.54% compared with the corresponding period of last year as a result of the increased demand.

Sales of specialized oilfield vehicles increased by $6.3 million, or 51,462.75%, to $6.3 million for the year ended June 30, 2023 from $0.01 million for the year ended June 30, 2022. The increase was mainly because we have accumulated rich experience in the manufacturing of specialized oilfield equipment and we expanded our business to the manufacturing and sales of specialized oilfield vehicles in August 2022.

We provide customers with automation solutions services, including software development or customized function development on customers’ system, testing, debugging and other automation solutions services with respect to specialized equipment used in the oilfield. The service revenue decreased by $1.2 million, or 81.18%, to $0.3 million for the year ended June 30, 2023 from $1.4 million for the year ended June 30, 2022. The decrease was mainly because we have focused our research and development efforts on our own vehicle products, which in turn decreased the revenue from providing automation solutions services.

Other revenue primarily derives from sales of parts and materials, such as integrated circuits, box iron and backlight panel, etc. Our revenue generated from others increased by $0.3 million, or 110.32%, to $0.6 million for the year ended June 30, 2023 from $0.3 million for the year ended June 30, 2022, which was primarily attributable to the increase in sales of parts and materials based on customers’ demand. We are not expecting to achieve such growth in other revenues continuously.

Cost of revenues

Cost of revenues consists primarily of manufacturing and purchase cost of raw materials, depreciation, maintenance, and other overhead expenses. Our cost of revenues increased by $9.2 million, or 176.94%, to $14.4 million for the year ended June 30, 2023 from $5.2 million for the year ended June 30, 2022. The increase in cost of revenue was mainly due to (i) the increase in revenues of 160.10% and (ii) that more staff were hired for production of specialized oilfield vehicles.

Gross profit and gross profit margin

	For the year ended June 30, 2023						For the year ended June 30, 2022
	Gross profit			Gross profit margin			Gross profit			Gross profit margin
Sales of specialized oilfield equipment	$	5,029,953			36.14	%	$	2,360,245			36.92	%
Sales of specialized oilfield vehicles		1,630,946			25.64	%		1,107			8.97	%

Total	$	6,760,971			31.97	%	$	2,935,808			36.11	%

Gross profit increased by $3.8 million, or 130.29%, to $6.8 million for the year ended June 30, 2023 from $2.9 million for the year ended June 30, 2022, which was in line with the increase of revenues. Gross profit margin decreased from 36.11% for the year ended June 30, 2022 to 31.97% for the year ended June 30, 2023. The decrease of gross profit margin was mainly driven by our business expansion in specialized oilfield vehicles, which accounted for 30.08% of the total revenue for the year ended June 30, 2023, compared with 0.15% in the same period of 2022, for which the gross profit margin was 25.64%.

The gross profit of specialized oilfield equipment for the years ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 was $5.0 million and $2.4 million, respectively; and the gross profit margin remained stable at 36.14% for the year ended June 30, 2023, compared to 36.92% for the year ended June 30, 2022. The gross profit of specialized oilfield vehicles for the years ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 was $1.6 million and $1,107; and the gross profit margin increased to 25.64% for the year ended June 30, 2023, compared to 8.97% for the year ended June 30, 2022. The sales of specialized oilfield vehicles were a new business launched in August 2022, with a low gross profit margin due to high fixed costs without mass production. However, the gross profit margin gradually increased after mass production for the year ended June 30, 2023, resulting in the increase of the gross profit margin.

Selling and marketing expenses

Our selling and marketing expenses primarily consist of commission. Our selling and marketing expenses increased by $0.8 million, or 187.17%, to $1.2 million for the year ended June 30, 2023 from $0.4 million for the year ended June 30, 2022, primarily due to the growth of our business.

General and administrative expenses

Our general and administrative expenses primarily consist of salaries and welfare expenses, allowance for doubtful accounts and professional fees. Our general and administrative expenses increased by $0.2 million, or 37.76%, to $0.6 million for the year ended June 30, 2023 from $0.4 million for the year ended June 30, 2022, primarily due to an increase of salaries and welfare expenses, as a result of increase in our general and administrative personnel with respect to our business expansion, and an increase of bad debt expenses.

Research and development expenses

Research and development expenses increased by $1.0 million, or 228.73%, to $1.4 million for the year ended June 30, 2023 from and $0.4 million for the year ended June 30, 2022. Our research and development expenses primarily consist of (i) parts and materials in relation to testing materials; and (ii) design and development expenses, with new technology, materials and suppliers and other research and development related expenses for designing and testing. The research and development expenses are mainly driven by the stage and scale of our equipment development.

Other income (expense)

Our other income (expense) primarily consists of (i) interest expense, net, (ii) government subsidies, and (iii) gain from disposal of a subsidiary. Our government subsidies received in cash were not contingent upon our further actions or performance.

Other income (expense) slightly increased by $0.01 million, or 2.67% from the year ended June 30, 2022 to the year ended June 30, 2023. Other income (expense) was $0.5 million for the year ended June 30, 2023, which primary consisted of government subsidies of $0.6 million, partially offset by interest expense, net as a result of increase of bank borrowings. Other income (expense) was $0.5 million for the year ended June 30, 2022, which primarily attributable to gain from disposal of a subsidiary of $0.3 million occurred during the fiscal year and government subsidies of $0.2 million. We are not expecting to receive government subsidies of such an amount continuously.

Income tax expense

The PRC enterprise income tax (“EIT”) is calculated based on the taxable income determined under the applicable EIT Law and its implementation rules. Income tax expenses increased by $0.4 million to $0.7 million for the year ended June 30, 2023 from $0.3 million for the year ended June 30, 2022. The change resulted from the change in our taxable income.

Net income from continuing operations

As a result of the foregoing, our net income from continuing operations increased by $1.6 million to $3.5 million for the year ended June 30, 2023 from $1.9 million for the year ended June 30, 2022.

Discontinued operations, net loss from discontinued operations and gain from disposal of a subsidiary

On September 8, 2021, we entered into a share purchase agreement with Changzhou Xinmu Artificial Intelligence Technology Partnership (Limited Partnership) and Mr. Chuanbo Jiang, the CEO, director and a shareholder of STAK Inc., to transfer 100% of our equity interest in Qianlimu (Shiyan) Technology Co., Ltd. (“Qianlimu Shiyan”). The consideration amounted to $nil due to the net deficit position of Qianlimu Shiyan. As the business of Qianlimu Shiyan represents a separate major line of business of the Company as of the held-for-sale date, which was in September 2021, the disposition was considered as a strategic shift that had a major effect on operations and financial results of the Company. We disclosed the results of the business of Qianlimu Shiyan as discontinued operations.

Table of Contents

Net loss from the discontinued operations for the year ended June 30, 2022 was $0.3 million. Gain from disposal of a subsidiary of $0.3 million was recorded as the result of the disposal.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

To date, the primary sources of liquidity consist of cash flows from the PRC Subsidiaries’ operating activities, capital contributions from shareholders and loans from banks. We have financed our operations primarily through capital contributions and revenue from operations. As of June 30, 2023, we had cash and cash equivalents of $0.6 million and a total working capital surplus of $5.0 million. For the next 12 months from the date of this prospectus, we plan to implement measures to meet the cash requirements, including: (i) strictly controlling and reducing expenses; (ii) seeking additional credit facilities; and (iii) seeking equity financing from shareholders. We believe the above measures will be adequate to meet the operation requirements in the next 12 months from the date of this prospectus.

We believe our current working capital is sufficient to support our operations for the next twelve months from the date of this prospectus. We may, however, need additional cash resources in the future if we experience changes in business conditions or other developments, or if we find and wish to pursue opportunities for investment, acquisition, capital expenditure or similar actions. If we determine that our cash requirements exceed the amount of cash and cash equivalents we have on hand at the time, we may seek to issue equity or debt securities or obtain credit facilities. The issuance and sale of additional equity would result in further dilution to our shareholders. The incurrence of indebtedness would result in increased fixed obligations and could result in operating covenants that would restrict our operations. Our obligation to bear credit risk for certain financing transactions we facilitate may also strain our operating cash flow. We cannot assure you that financing will be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all.

Current foreign exchange and other regulations in the PRC may restrict our PRC entities in their ability to transfer their net assets to us and our subsidiaries in Hong Kong. However, as of the date of this prospectus, these restrictions have no impact on the ability of these PRC entities to transfer funds to us as we do not anticipate declaring or paying any dividends in the foreseeable future, as we plan to retain our retained earnings to continue to grow our business. In addition, these restrictions have no impact on the ability for us to meet our cash obligations.

To utilize the proceeds from this offering, we may make additional loans or capital contributions to our PRC Subsidiaries. PRC laws and regulations allow an offshore holding company to provide funding to our PRC Subsidiaries only through loans or capital contributions, subject to the filing or approval of government authorities and limits on the amount of capital contributions and loans. Subject to satisfaction of applicable government registration and approval requirements, we may extend inter-company loans to our PRC Subsidiaries or make additional capital contributions to fund their capital expenditures or working capital. For an increase of registered capital, our PRC Subsidiaries need to file such change of registered capital with the State Administration for Market Regulation (the “SAMR”) or its local counterparts through the enterprise registration system and the national enterprise credit information publicity system, and the SAMR or its local counterparts will then push such information to the China’s Ministry of Commerce or its local counterparts. If the holding company provides funding to our PRC Subsidiaries through loans, (i) in the event that the foreign debt management mechanism as provided in the Measures for Foreign Debts Registration and Administration and other relevant rules applies, the balance of such loans cannot exceed the difference between the total investment and the registered capital of the subsidiaries and we will need to register such loans with the SAFE or its local branches, or (ii) in the event that the mechanism as provided in the Notice of the People’s Bank of China on Matters concerning the Macro-Prudential Management of Full-Covered Cross-Border Financing, or PBOC Notice No. 9, applies, the balance of such loans will be subject to the risk-weighted approach and the net asset limits and we will need to file the loans with the SAFE in its information system pursuant to applicable requirements and guidelines issued by the SAFE or its local branches. While we currently see no material obstacles to completing the filing and registration procedures with respect to future capital contributions to our PRC Subsidiaries and loans to our PRC Subsidiaries, we cannot assure that we will be able to complete these filings and registrations on a timely basis, or at all. See “Risk Factors—Risks Related to Doing Business in China—PRC regulation of loans to and direct investment in PRC entities by offshore holding companies and governmental control of currency conversion may delay us from using the proceeds of this offering to make loans or additional capital contributions to our PRC Subsidiaries, which could materially and adversely affect our liquidity and our ability to fund and expand our business.”

We expect the net proceeds from our initial public offering to be used in the PRC and will be in the form of Renminbi and, therefore, our PRC Subsidiaries will need to convert any capital contributions or loans from U.S. dollars into Renminbi in accordance with applicable PRC laws and regulations.

Capital Expenditures

Our capital expenditures are primarily incurred for the purpose of acquisition of property and equipment, and intangible asset. Our capital expenditures were $2.6 million and $0.1 million for the years ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. We intend to fund our future capital expenditures with our existing cash balance and proceeds from this offering and expect to continue to make well-planned capital expenditures to meet the expected growth of our business.

Trend Information

We are not aware of any trends, uncertainties, demands, commitments or events that are reasonably likely to have a material effect on our net revenues, net income, profitability, liquidity or capital resources, or that would cause reported financial information not necessarily to be indicative of future operating results or financial condition.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We did not have during the periods presented, and we do not currently have, any off-balance sheet financing arrangements or any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, including entities sometimes referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, that were established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes.

Holding Company Structure

Our Company, STAK Inc., is a holding company with no material operations of its own. We conduct our operations through the PRC Subsidiaries in China. As a result, our ability to pay dividends depends upon dividends paid by the PRC Subsidiaries. If our existing PRC Subsidiaries or any newly formed ones incur debt on their own behalf in the future, the instruments governing their debt may restrict their ability to pay dividends to us. In addition, our subsidiaries in mainland China are permitted to pay dividends to us only out of its retained earnings, if any, as determined in accordance with PRC accounting standards and regulations. Under PRC law, each of our subsidiaries in mainland China are required to set aside at least 10% of its after-tax profits each year, if any, to fund certain statutory reserve funds until such reserve funds reach 50% of their registered capital. In addition, our subsidiaries in mainland China may allocate a portion of their after-tax profits based on PRC accounting standards to enterprise expansion funds and staff bonus and welfare funds at their discretion. The statutory reserve funds and the discretionary funds are not distributable as cash dividends. Remittance of dividends by a wholly foreign-owned company out of mainland China is subject to examination by the banks designated by SAFE. The PRC Subsidiaries didn’t distribute dividends and have made no further plans to pay dividends since such date and do not expect to do so unless and until they have generated sufficient accumulated profits and have met the requirements for statutory reserve funds.

Tabular Disclosure of Contractual Obligations

The following table sets forth our contractual obligations as of June 30, 2023:

Seasonality

The nature of our business does not appear to be affected by seasonal variations.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date and revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Significant accounting estimates include, but not limited, to allowance for doubtful accounts, useful lives and impairment of long-lived assets, accounting for deferred income taxes and valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, inventories write-downs. Changes in facts and circumstances may result in revised estimates. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and as such, differences may be material to the consolidated financial statements.

We believe the following critical accounting policies involve a higher degree of judgment and complexity than our other accounting policies. Therefore, these are the policies we believe are the most critical to understanding and evaluating our consolidated financial condition and results of operations.

Accounts receivable, net

Accounts receivable, net are stated at the original amount less an allowance for doubtful receivables, if any, based on a review of all outstanding amounts at period end. An allowance is also made when there is objective evidence that we will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables. We analyze the aging of the customer accounts, customer concentrations, customer credit-worthiness, historical and current economic trends and changes in its customer payment patterns when evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts.

Revenue recognition

We adopted ASC Topic 606 Revenue from Contracts with Customers with a date of the initial application of July 1, 2021 using the modified retrospective method.

We generate revenues primarily from sales of specialized oilfield vehicles, sales of specialized oilfield equipment, automation solutions services and others. In accordance with Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”), revenues from contracts with customers are recognized when or as the control of the services or goods is transferred to the customer, in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services net of business tax and value added tax. Revenue recognition policies for each type of revenue stream are as follows:

Sales of specialized oilfield vehicles and specialized oilfield equipment

Revenues were generated from sales of specialized oilfield vehicles and specialized oilfield equipment through contracts with customers. We identify only one performance obligation to provide customers with the specific vehicles or equipment at a fixed price stated in the contracts. The revenue is recognized at a point in time upon the customer’s acceptance of products. Payment terms for product sales are generally set at 6 months after the consideration becomes due and payable. Vehicle chassis used in oilfield vehicles and equipment is designed and produced by qualified special vehicle manufacturers. We are deemed as the principal, recognizing revenue on a gross basis as our Company is primarily responsible for fulfilling the contract, bears the inventory risk, and has the discretion in establishing the sales price.

Automation solutions services

We provide customers with automation solutions services, including software development, training, debugging, maintenance, and other services for oilfield-specific equipment. These services are not distinct services but provide source code and script of well-developed software or function to customers. Therefore, we identify only one performance obligation to provide customer with the source code and script of the customized software or function at a fixed price stated in the contracts. Customers would not receive and consume the benefits before the delivery of the service. In addition, we would control the source code and script and would not have the enforceable right to the payment until the delivery of the service, therefore, the revenue is recognized at a point in time upon the customers’ acceptance of the developed software or function. Payment terms for product sales are generally set at 6 months after the consideration becomes due and payable. We are deemed as the principal, recognizing revenue on a gross basis as we are primarily responsible for fulfilling the contract, bears the inventory risk, and has the discretion in establishing the sales price.

Others

Other revenue primarily derives from sales of parts and materials, such as integrated circuits, box iron and backlight panels, etc. We recognize revenue from sales of parts and materials at a point in time upon the customer’s acceptance of the parts and materials.

Contract Balances

Timing of revenue recognition was once we have determined that the customer has obtained control over the product. Accounts receivable represent revenue recognized for the amounts invoiced and/or prior to invoicing when we have satisfied its performance obligation and have an unconditional right to the payment.

Deferred revenue primarily represents our obligation to transfer additional goods or services to a customer for which we have received consideration. The consideration received remains a contractual liability until goods or services have been provided to the customer. The amount of revenue recognized during the years ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 that was previously included in the deferred revenue as of June 30, 2022 and 2021 was $98,386 and $6,167, respectively.

Income taxes

Current income taxes are recorded in accordance with the regulations of the relevant tax jurisdiction. We account 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 income 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.

Uncertain tax positions

The guidance on accounting for uncertainties in income taxes prescribes a more likely than not threshold for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Guidance was also provided on derecognition of income tax assets and liabilities, classification of current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities, accounting for interest and penalties associated with tax positions, accounting for income taxes in interim periods, and income tax disclosures. We recognize interest and penalties, if any, under accrued expenses and other current liabilities on its consolidated balance sheets and under other expenses in its consolidated statements of comprehensive income. We did not recognize any significant interest and penalties associated with uncertain tax positions for the years ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. As of June 30, 2023 and 2022, we did not have any significant unrecognized uncertain tax positions.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

A list of recently issued accounting pronouncements that are relevant to us is included in Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risks

We are also exposed to liquidity risk that we are unable to provide sufficient capital resources and liquidity to meet our commitments and business needs. Liquidity risk is controlled by the application of financial position analysis and monitoring procedures. When necessary, we will turn to other financial institutions and the shareholders to obtain short-term funding to meet the liquidity shortage.

Inflation risk

Our costs and expenses may also be affected by China’s inflation level. Since our inception, inflation in China has not materially impacted our results of operations. According to the National Bureau of Statistics of China, the year-over-year percent changes in the consumer price index for 2022, 2021 and 2020 were increases of 2.0%, 0.9% and 2.5%, respectively. Although we have not in the past been materially affected by inflation since our inception, we can provide no assurance that we will not be affected in the future by higher rates of inflation in China.

Interest rate risk

Our exposure to interest rate risk primarily relates to the long-term borrowings we have entered into with a bank. We have not been exposed to material risks due to changes in interest rates. An increase, however, may raise the cost of any debt we have now or in the future.

Foreign currency translation and transaction

Substantially all of our operating activities and our assets and liabilities are denominated in RMB, which is not freely convertible into foreign currencies. All foreign exchange transactions take place either through the Peoples’ Bank of China (“PBOC”) or other authorized financial institutions at exchange rates quoted by PBOC. Approval of foreign currency payments by the PBOC or other regulatory institutions requires submitting a payment application form together with suppliers’ invoices and signed contracts. The value of RMB is subject to changes in central government policies and to international economic and political developments affecting supply and demand in the China Foreign Exchange Trading System market.

INDUSTRY OVERVIEW

We are responsible for the information contained in this prospectus and any free writing prospectus we prepare or authorize. Unless otherwise indicated, all information and data provided in the section is cited from the industry report issued by Beijing Bo Yan Zhishang Information Advise Co., Ltd (“Bo Yan Consulting”). Although we believe the data and information included in the report issued by Bo Yan Consulting to be reliable, we have not independently verified the accuracy or completeness of the information and data included therein. This section also includes projections based on a number of assumptions. Oil-field specialized vehicle industry, and related industries may not grow at the rate projected by market data, or at all. Failure of these markets to grow at the projected rate may have a material and adverse effect on our business and the market price of the Ordinary Shares.

China is one of the major producers and consumers of specialized vehicles and equipment for oilfields in the world. The industry dedicated to specialized vehicles and equipment for oil fields in China is vast and steadily growing. In recent years, this industry has been attracting investments consistently. New technologies and materials are continually being integrated into the products of this industry, intensifying the competition.

The oil field specialized vehicle industry refers to the sector that provides specifically designed and equipped vehicles and equipment for oil field development and operations. These vehicles and equipment play crucial roles in the exploration, extraction, transportation, and production processes within oil fields. Oil field specialized vehicles often possess special designs and functionalities to adapt to challenging work conditions in oil field environments, such as deserts, marine areas, or high-altitude regions.

The industry encompasses various types of vehicles and equipment, including but not limited to:

	●	Exploration and survey vehicles: Used to explore new oil fields and determine the reserves and quality of the fields, such as seismic survey vehicles and geological survey vehicles.
	●	Drilling vehicles: Used for oil well drilling, including drilling platforms and drilling equipment transport vehicles.

Regulations Relating to Foreign Investment

On March 15, 2019, the Foreign Investment Law of the PRC was promulgated by the National People’s Congress and came into effect on January 1, 2020. According to the Foreign Investment Law of the PRC, foreign investment refers to any investment activity directly or indirectly carried out by foreign natural persons, enterprises or other organizations (hereinafter “Foreign Investors”). Under the Foreign Investment Law, the PRC government implements a system of pre-entry national treatment plus a negative list for the administration of foreign investments, and gives national treatment to foreign investments beyond the negative list. The Implementing Regulations for the Foreign Investment Law, which was promulgated by the State Council on December 26, 2019 and came into effect on January 1, 2020, provides implementing measures and detailed rules to ensure the effective implementation of the Foreign Investment Law.

The current regulation regime of foreign investment in the PRC, setting aside special arrangements adopted in pilot free trade zones, preliminarily consists of three principal legal documents, i.e. the Catalog of Industries for Encouraging Foreign Investment (2022 Edition) (the “2022 Catalog”), which was promulgated by the Ministry of Commerce (“MOFCOM”), and the NDRC, on October 26, 2022 and took effect on January 1, 2023, and the Special Administrative Measures for Access of Foreign Investment, (the “2021 Negative List”), which was promulgated by the MOFCOM and the NDRC on December 27, 2021 and took effect on January 1, 2022 and the Provisions Guiding Foreign Investment Direction, which was promulgated by the State Council on February 11, 2002 and came into effect on April 1, 2002. These three legal documents collectively classify all foreign investment projects into four categories: (1) encouraged projects, (2) permitted projects, (3) restricted projects, and (4) prohibited projects. If the industry in which the investment is to occur falls into the encouraged category, foreign investment, in certain cases, may receive preferential policies or benefits. If it falls into the restricted category, foreign investment may be conducted in accordance with applicable legal and regulatory restrictions. If falls into the prohibited category, foreign investment of any kind will not be allowed.

The 2022 Catalog and 2021 Negative List govern investment activities in the PRC by foreign investors and classify industries into three categories with regard to foreign investment: “encouraged”, “restricted” and “prohibited”. Industries not listed in the Catalog are generally deemed as falling into a fourth category, “permitted”, unless specifically restricted by other PRC laws. For some restricted industries, foreign investors can only conduct investment activities through equity or contractual joint ventures, while in other cases PRC partners are required to hold the majority interests in such joint ventures. In addition, some projects in the restricted category are subject to higher-level governmental approvals. Foreign investors are not allowed to invest in industries in the prohibited category.

Measures on Reporting of Foreign Investment Information was promulgated by the MOFCOM and State Administration for Market Regulation (“SAMR”) on December 30, 2019 and took effect on January 1, 2020, which repealed the Provisional Methods for Filing Management.

Where the non-resident taxpayer does not apply to the withholding agent to claim the tax treaty benefits, or materials and information provided to the withholding agent do not meet the criteria for enjoying tax treaty benefits, the withholding agent shall withhold tax pursuant to the provisions of PRC tax laws. In addition, according to a tax circular issued by SAT in February 2009, if the main purpose of an offshore arrangement is to obtain preferential tax treatments, the PRC tax authorities will have the discretion to adjust the preferential tax rate enjoyed by the relevant offshore entity.

According to the Announcement 39, (i) for general VAT payers’ sales activities or imports that are subject to an existing VAT rate of 16% or 10%, the VAT rate is adjusted to 13% or 9%, respectively; (ii) for the agricultural products purchased by taxpayers to which an existing 10% deduction rate is applicable, the rate is adjusted to 9%; (iii) for the agricultural products purchased by taxpayers for production or commissioned processing, which are subject to an existing VAT rate of 13%, the input VAT will be calculated at a 10% deduction rate; (iv) for the exportation of goods or labor services that are subject to an existing VAT rate of 16%, with the applicable export refund at the same rate, the export refund rate is adjusted to 13%; and (v) for the exportation of goods or cross-border taxable activities subject to an existing VAT rate of 10%, with the same export refund rate, the export refund rate is adjusted to 9%. The Announcement 39 came into effect on April 1, 2019 and shall prevail in case of any conflict with existing provisions.

Regulations on M&A Rules and Overseas Listings

On August 8, 2006, six PRC regulatory agencies, namely, the MOFCOM, the State Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, the SAT, the former State Administration of Industry and Commerce, the China Securities Regulatory Commission (the “CSRC”) and the SAFE, jointly adopted the Regulations on Mergers and Acquisitions of Domestic Enterprises by Foreign Investors (the “M&A Rules”), which became effective on September 8, 2006 and were amended on June 22, 2009. The M&A Rules purport, among other things, to require that offshore special purpose vehicles that are controlled by PRC companies or individuals and that have been formed for overseas listing purposes through acquisitions of PRC domestic interest held by such PRC companies or individuals, to obtain the approval of the CSRC prior to publicly listing their securities on an overseas stock exchange.

While the application of the M&A Rules remains unclear, we believe, based on the advice of our PRC counsel, DeHeng Law Offices (Shenzhen), that CSRC approval is not required in the context of this offering because: (a) our PRC Subsidiaries were not incorporated by merger or acquisition of equity interest or assets of a PRC domestic company owned by PRC companies or individuals as defined under the M&A Rules; and (b) the CSRC currently has not issued any definitive rule or interpretation concerning whether offerings under this prospectus are subject to the M&A Rules. However, as there has been no official interpretation or clarification of the M&A Rules, there is uncertainty as to how this regulation will be interpreted or implemented.

On February 17, 2023, the CSRC issued the Trial Measures for the Administration of Overseas Issuance and Listing of Securities by Domestic Enterprises and five supporting guidelines, which became effective on March 31, 2023 (the “Overseas Listing Regulations”). The Overseas Listing Regulations are applicable to overseas securities offerings and/or listings conducted by issuers who are (i) companies incorporated in the PRC (“PRC domestic companies”) and (ii) companies incorporated overseas with substantial operations in the PRC. The Overseas Listing Regulations stipulate that such issuers shall fulfill the filing procedures within three working days after they make an application for initial public offering and listing in an overseas stock market. The required filing materials shall include but not be limited to: (1) filing report and relevant commitments; and (2) domestic legal opinions. If domestic enterprises fail to comply with the Overseas Listing Regulations, they will be required to correct their behaviors, facing warnings and fines which amount will range from RMB1,000,000 to RMB10,000,000, and directly responsible personnel will also be warned and fined which amount will range from RMB500,000 to RMB5,000,000. The Overseas Listing Regulations may subject us to additional compliance requirements in the future, and we cannot assure you that we will be able to get the clearance of filing procedures under the Overseas Listing Regulations on a timely basis, or at all. Any failure of us to fully comply with new regulatory requirements may significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer our Ordinary Shares, cause significant disruption to our business operations, and severely damage our reputation, which would materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations and cause our Ordinary Shares to significantly decline in value or become worthless.

On February 24, 2023, the CSRC, together with the MOF, National Administration of State Secrets Protection and National Archives Administration of China, revised the Provisions on Strengthening Confidentiality and Archives Administration for Overseas Securities Offering and Listing, which were issued by the CSRC and National Administration of State Secrets Protection and National Archives Administration of China in 2009 (the “Provisions”). The revised Provisions were issued under the title the “Provisions on Strengthening Confidentiality and Archives Administration of Overseas Securities Offering and Listing by Domestic Companies”, and came into effect on March 31, 2023, together with the Overseas Listing Regulations. One of the major revisions to the revised Provisions is expanding their application to cover indirect overseas offering and listing, as is consistent with the Overseas Listing Regulations. The revised Provisions require that, among other things, (a) a domestic company that plans to, either directly or indirectly 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 law, and file with the secrecy administrative department at the same level; and (b) a domestic company that plans to, either directly or indirectly through its overseas listed entity, publicly disclose or provide to relevant individuals and entities including securities companies, securities service providers and overseas regulators, any other documents and materials that, if leaked, will be detrimental to national security or public interest, shall strictly fulfill relevant procedures stipulated by applicable national regulations. Any failure or perceived failure by our Company or our PRC Subsidiaries to comply with the above confidentiality and archives administration requirements under the revised Provisions and other PRC laws and regulations may result in the relevant entities being held legally liable by competent authorities and referred to the judicial organ to be investigated for criminal liability if suspected of committing a crime.

Code of Business Conduct and Ethics

In connection with this Offering, prior to the effectiveness of this registration statement, we will adopt a code of business conduct and ethics, which is applicable to all of our directors, executive officers and employees and is publicly available.

Duties of Directors

Under Cayman Islands law, our directors owe fiduciary duties to our company. These include, among others, a duty of loyalty, a duty to act honestly, and a duty to act in good faith in what they consider to be in our best interests. Our directors must also exercise their powers only for a proper purpose. Our directors also have a duty to exercise the skills they actually possess and such care and diligence that a reasonably prudent person would exercise in comparable circumstances.

In fulfilling their duty of care to us, our directors must ensure compliance with our [post offering] amended and restated memorandum and articles of association as may be amended from time to time. Our company has a right to seek damages against any director who breaches a duty owed to us.

Our board of directors has all the powers necessary for managing, and for directing and supervising, our business affairs. The functions and powers of our board of directors include, among others:

	●	convening shareholders’ annual and extraordinary general meetings and reporting its work to shareholders at such meetings;

	●	declaring dividends and distributions;

	●	appointing officers and determining the term of office of the officers; and

	●	exercising the borrowing powers of our company and mortgaging the property of our company.

Terms of Directors and Officers

Our officers are elected by the board of directors [and will serve for a period of three years from the effective date of the registration statement]. Our directors [are not subject to a term of office] and hold office until their resignation, death or incapacity, or until their respective successors have been elected and qualified or until his or her office is otherwise vacated in accordance with our [post-offering] amended and restated memorandum and articles of association.

A director will also be removed from office automatically if, among other things, the director (i) becomes bankrupt or makes any arrangement or composition with his creditors, (ii) dies or is found to be or becomes of unsound mind, (iii) resigns his office by notice in writing, (iv) without special leave of absence from our board, is absent from meetings of our board for a continuous period of six months, or (v) is removed from office pursuant to any other provisions of our [post-offering] amended and restated memorandum and articles of association.

Foreign Private Issuer Exemption

After the consummation of this offering, we will qualify as a “foreign private issuer” under the SEC rules and Nasdaq rules. As a foreign private issuer, we will be exempt from the rules under the Exchange Act related to 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. Also, we are not required to comply with Regulation FD, which restricts the selective disclosure of material information. However, we will file with the SEC, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year, or such applicable time as required by the SEC, an annual report on Form 20-F containing financial statements audited by an independent registered public accounting firm, and we will submit to the SEC from time to time, on Form 6-K, reports of information that would likely be material to an investment decision in our Shares.

Table of Contents

Furthermore, Nasdaq Rule 5615(a)(3) provides that a foreign private issuer, such as us, may rely on our home country corporate governance practices in lieu of certain of the rules in the Nasdaq Rule 5600 Series and Rule 5250(d), except that we must comply with Nasdaq’s Notification of Noncompliance requirement (Rule 5625), the Voting Rights requirement (Rule 5640), and that we have an audit committee that satisfies Rule 5605(c)(3), including having committee members that meet the independence requirements of Rule 5605(c)(2)(A)(ii). The exemptions are subject to our disclosure of which requirements we are not following and the equivalent Cayman Islands requirements. Below are some of the exemptions afforded to foreign private issuers under the Nasdaq rules:

	●	Exemption from the requirement that we disclose within four business days of any determination to grant a waiver of the code of business conduct and ethics to directors and officers.

	●	Exemption from the requirement that our board of directors be composed of independent directors.

	●	Exemption from the requirement that our audit committee have a minimum of three members.

	●	Exemption from the requirement that we hold annual shareholders’ meetings.

	●	Exemption from the requirement that our board of directors have a remuneration committee composed entirely of independent directors with a written charter addressing the committee’s purpose and responsibilities.

	●	Exemption from the requirement that director nominees are selected, or recommended for selection by our board of directors, either by (i) independent directors constituting a majority of our board of directors’ independent directors in a vote in which only independent directors participate, or (ii) a committee comprised solely of independent directors and governed by a formal written charter or board resolution, as applicable, addressing the nomination process as adopted.

We intend to comply with all of the rules generally applicable to U.S. domestic companies listed on the Nasdaq. We may in the future decide to use the foreign private issuer exemption with respect to some or all of the other Nasdaq corporate governance rules. We also intend to comply with Cayman Islands corporate governance requirements under the Companies Act applicable to us at the same time. If we rely on our home country corporate governance practices in lieu of certain of the rules of Nasdaq, our shareholders may not have the same protections afforded to shareholders of companies that are subject to all of the corporate governance requirements of Nasdaq. We may utilize these exemptions for as long as we continue to qualify as a foreign private issuer.

Other Corporate Governance Matters

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as well as related rules subsequently implemented by the SEC, requires foreign private issuers, including us, to comply with various corporate governance practices.

Because we are a foreign private issuer, the members of our Board of Directors and senior management are not subject to short-swing profit and insider trading reporting obligations under section 16 of the Exchange Act. They will, however, be subject to the obligation to report changes in share ownership under section 13 of the Exchange Act and related SEC rules.

We may also be eligible to utilize the controlled company exemptions under the Nasdaq corporate governance rules if more than 50% of our voting power is held by an individual, a group or another company. Pursuant to the Nasdaq corporate governance rules, in order for a group to exist, such shareholders must have publicly filed a notice that they are acting as a group (i.e., a Schedule 13D). We expect that more than 50% of our voting power will be held by an individual, a group or another company immediately following the consummation of this Offering.

We are an exempted company incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands with limited liability and our affairs are governed by our [post-offering] amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, the Companies Act, and the common law by the Cayman Islands.

Upon the closing of this offering, our authorized share capital will consist of (i) [*] Ordinary Shares of a par value of [US$0.0001] each and (ii) [*] preferred shares of par value of US$ [US$0.0001] each. All of our issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares are fully paid.

As of the date of this prospectus, we had [50,000] Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding. [No preferred shares have been issued to date]. All of our Shares issued and outstanding prior to the completion of the offering will be fully paid, and all of our shares to be issued in the offering will be issued as fully paid.

Our [Post-Offering] Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association

Our shareholders intend to adopt an amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, which will become effective and replace our current memorandum and articles of association in its entirety immediately prior to the completion of this offering. The following are summaries of material provisions of the [post-offering] amended and restated memorandum and articles of association that we expect become effective immediately prior to completion of this offering, and of the Companies Act, insofar as they relate to the material terms of our shares.

Objects of Our Company. Under our [post-offering] amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, the objects of our company are unrestricted and we have the full power and authority to carry out any object not prohibited by the law of the Cayman Islands.

Ordinary Shares. Our 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 Ordinary Shares will not receive a certificate in respect of such Ordinary Shares. We may not issue shares to bearer. Our shareholders who are non-residents of the Cayman Islands may freely hold and vote their shares. Subject to the provisions of the Companies Act and our [post-offering] amended and restated memorandum and 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. The directors may deal with unissued shares either at a premium or at par, or with or without preferred, deferred or other special rights or restrictions, whether in regard to dividend, voting, return of capital or otherwise. No share may be issued at a discount except in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act. The directors may refuse to accept any application for shares, and may accept any application in whole or in part, for any reason or for no reason.

Preferred Shares. Our [post-offering] amended and restated memorandum and articles of association provides that preferred shares may be issued from time to time in one or more series. Our board of directors will be authorized to fix the voting rights, if any, designations, powers, preferences, the relative, participating, optional or other special rights and any qualifications, limitations, and restrictions thereof, applicable to the shares of each series. Our board of directors will be able to, without shareholder approval, issue preferred shares with voting and other rights that could adversely affect the voting power and other rights of the holders of the Ordinary Shares and could have anti-takeover effects. We have no preferred shares outstanding at the date hereof. Although we do not currently intend to issue any preferred shares, we cannot assure you that we will not do so in the future. No preferred shares are being issued or registered in this offering.

Dividends. Subject to the provisions of the 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 dividends but no such dividend shall exceed the amount recommended by the directors. Subject to the requirements of the 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. Subject to any rights or restrictions as to voting attached to any shares, unless any share carries special voting rights, on a show of hands every shareholder who is present in person and every person representing a shareholder by proxy shall have one vote per Ordinary Share. On a poll, every shareholder who is present in person and every person representing a shareholder by proxy shall have one vote for each 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.

General Meetings of Shareholders. As a Cayman Islands exempted company, we are not obliged by the Companies Act to call shareholders’ annual general meetings. Our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association provide that we may (but are not obliged to) in each year hold a general meeting as our annual general meeting in which case we shall specify the meeting as such in the notices calling it, and the annual general meeting shall be held at such time and place as may be determined by our directors. All general meetings other than annual general meetings shall be called extraordinary general meetings.

The directors may convene general meetings whenever they think fit. 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 in accordance with the notice provisions in the articles, specifying the purpose of the meeting and signed by each of the shareholders making the requisition. If the directors do not convene such meeting within 21 clear days’ from the date of receipt of the written requisition, those shareholders who requested the meeting or any of them may convene the general meeting themselves within three months after the end of such period of 21 clear days in which case reasonable expenses incurred by them as a result of the directors failing to convene a meeting shall be reimbursed by us.

Advance notice of at least [7] clear days is required for the convening of a general meeting shall be given to shareholders entitled to attend and vote at such meeting. The notice shall specify the place, the day and the hour of the meeting and the general nature of that business. In addition, if a resolution is proposed as a special resolution, the text of that resolution shall be given to all shareholders. Notice of every general meeting shall also be given to the directors and our auditors.

Subject to the Companies Act and with the consent of the shareholders who, individually or collectively, hold at least 90 percent of the voting rights of all those who have a right to vote at a general meeting, a general meeting may be convened on shorter notice.

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 15 minutes from the time appointed for the general meeting, or at any time during the meeting, a quorum is not present, the meeting, if convened upon the requisition of shareholders, shall be cancelled. In any other case it shall stand adjourned to the same time and place seven days or to 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. When a meeting is adjourned for more than seven clear days, notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given in accordance with the articles.

At any general meeting a resolution put to the vote of the meeting shall be decided on a show of hands, 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 at least two shareholders having the right to vote on the resolutions or one or more shareholders present who together hold not less than ten percent of the voting rights of all those who are entitled to vote on the resolution. Unless a poll is so demanded, a declaration by the chairman as to the result of a resolution and an entry to that effect in the minutes of the meeting, shall be conclusive evidence of the outcome of a show of hands, 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 and the result of the poll shall be deemed to be the resolution of the meeting at which the poll was demanded. 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.

Transfer of Ordinary Shares. Subject to any applicable requirements set forth in the Articles and provided that a transfer of Ordinary Shares complies with applicable rules of the Nasdaq Capital Market, a shareholder may transfer all or any of his or her Ordinary Shares to another person by completing an instrument of transfer in the common form or in a form prescribed by Nasdaq or any other form approved by our board of directors, executed:

	●	where the Ordinary Shares are fully paid, by or on behalf of that shareholder; and

	●	where the Ordinary Shares are partly paid, by or on behalf of that shareholder and the transferee.

Table of Contents

The transferor shall be deemed to remain the holder of an Ordinary Share until the name of the transferee is entered into our register of members.

Where the Ordinary Shares in question are not listed on or subject to the rules of the Nasdaq Capital Market, our board of directors may, in its absolute discretion, decline to register any transfer of any Ordinary Share that is not fully paid up or on which we have a lien. Our board of directors may also decline to register any transfer of such Ordinary Share unless:

	●	the instrument of transfer is lodged with us, accompanied by the certificate for the 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;

	●	the instrument of transfer is in respect of only one class of shares;

	●	the instrument of transfer is properly stamped, if required;

	●	the Ordinary Share transferred is fully paid and free of any lien in favor of us;

	●	in the case of a transfer to joint holders, the number of joint holders to whom the share is to be transferred does not exceed four; and

	●	a fee of such maximum sum as the Nasdaq Capital Market may determine to be payable or such lesser sum as our directors may from time to time require is paid to us in respect thereof.

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

The registration of transfers may, on 14 days’ notice being given by advertisement in such one or more newspapers or by electronic means, be suspended and the register of members closed at such times and for such periods as our board of directors may, in their absolute discretion, from time to time determine; provided, however, that the registration of transfers shall not be suspended nor the register closed for more than 30 days in any year.

Liquidation. If we are wound up, the shareholders may, subject to the articles and any other sanction required by the 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 and, for that purpose, to value any assets and to 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 for the benefit of shareholders and those liable to contribute to the winding up. The directors have the authority to present a petition for our winding up to the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands on our behalf without the sanction of a resolution passed at a general meeting.

Calls on Shares and Forfeiture of Shares. Subject to the terms of allotment, the directors may make calls on the shareholders in respect of any monies unpaid on their shares including any premium and each shareholder shall (subject to receiving at least 14 clear days’ notice specifying when and where payment is to be made), 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 after it has become due and payable the person from whom it is due and payable shall pay interest on the amount unpaid from the day it became due and payable until it is paid at the rate fixed by the terms of allotment of the share or in the notice of the call or if no rate is fixed, at the rate of ten percent per annum. The directors may waive payment of the interest wholly or in part.

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 us 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.

Table of Contents

At any time the directors may declare any share to be wholly or partly exempt from the lien on shares provisions of the articles.

We may sell, in such manner as the directors may determine, any share on which the sum in respect of which the lien exists is presently payable, if due notice that such sum is payable has been given (as prescribed by the articles) and, within 14 clear days of the date on which the notice is deemed to be given under the articles, such notice has not been complied with.

Redemption, Repurchase, and Surrender of Shares. Subject to the 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 or the shareholder holding those redeemable shares, on the terms and in the manner our directors determine before the issue of those shares; (b) with the consent by 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 our option 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 at the time of such purchase.

We may make a payment in respect of the redemption or purchase of its own shares in any manner authorized by the Companies Act, including out of any combination of capital, our 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 (or partly in one and partly in the other) if so authorized by the terms of the allotment of those shares or by the terms applying to those shares, or otherwise by agreement with the shareholder holding those shares.

Issuance of Additional Shares. Our [post-offering] amended and restated memorandum and articles of association authorizes our board of directors to issue additional shares from time to time as our board of directors shall determine, to the extent of available authorized but unissued shares.

Inspection of Books and Records. Holders of our shares will have no general right under Cayman Islands law to inspect or obtain copies of our corporate records (except for the memorandum and articles of association of our company, any special resolutions passed by our company and the register of mortgages and charges of our company). However, we will provide our shareholders with annual audited financial statements. See “Where You Can Find Additional Information.”

Anti-Takeover Provisions. Some provisions of our [post-offering] amended and restated memorandum and articles of association may discourage, delay, or prevent a change of control of our company or management that shareholders may consider favorable, including provisions that limit the ability of shareholders to requisition and convene general meetings of shareholders. Our authorized but unissued Ordinary Shares and preferred shares are available for future issuances without shareholder approval and could be utilized for a variety of corporate purposes, including future offerings to raise additional capital, acquisitions and employee benefit plans. The existence of authorized but unissued and unreserved Ordinary Shares and preferred shares could render more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of us by means of a proxy contest, tender offer, merger or otherwise.

However, under Cayman Islands law, our directors may only exercise the rights and powers granted to them under our [post-offering] amended and restated memorandum and articles of association for a proper purpose and for what they believe in good faith to be in the best interests of our company.

Exempted Company. We are an exempted company with limited liability under the Companies Act. The Companies Act distinguishes between ordinary resident companies and exempted companies. Any company that is registered in the Cayman Islands but conducts business mainly outside of the Cayman Islands may apply to be registered as an exempted company. The requirements for an exempted company are essentially the same as for an ordinary company except that an 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);

Table of Contents

	●	is not required to open its register of members for inspection by shareholders of that company;

	●	does not have to hold an annual general meeting;

	●	may not issue negotiable or bearer shares but may issue shares with no par value;

	●	may obtain an undertaking against the imposition of any future taxation (such undertakings are usually given for 20 years in the first instance);

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

	●	may register as an exempted limited duration company; and

	●	may register as a segregated portfolio company.

“Limited liability” means that the liability of each shareholder is limited to the amount unpaid by the shareholder on the shares of the company (except in exceptional circumstances, such as involving fraud, the establishment of an agency relationship or an illegal or improper purpose or other circumstances in which a court may be prepared to pierce or lift the corporate veil).

Differences in Corporate Law

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

Mergers and Similar Arrangements. The Companies Act permits mergers and consolidations between Cayman Islands companies and between Cayman Islands companies and non-Cayman Islands companies provided that the laws of the foreign jurisdiction permit such merger or consolidation. For these purposes, (i) “merger” means the merging of two or more constituent companies and the vesting of their undertaking, property, and liabilities in one of such companies as the surviving company, and (ii) a “consolidation” means the combination of two or more constituent companies into a new consolidated company and the vesting of the undertaking, property, and liabilities of such companies to the consolidated company. In order to effect such a merger or consolidation, the directors of each constituent company must approve a written plan of merger or consolidation, which must then be authorized by (a) a special resolution of the shareholders of each constituent company, and (b) such other authorization, if any, as may be specified in such constituent company’s articles of association. The written plan of merger or consolidation must be filed with the Registrar of Companies of the Cayman Islands together with a declaration as to the solvency of the consolidated or surviving company, a list of the assets and liabilities of each constituent company, and an undertaking that a copy of the certificate of merger or consolidation will be given to the shareholders and creditors of each constituent company and that notification of the merger or consolidation will be published in the Cayman Islands Gazette. Court approval is not required for a merger or consolidation that is effected in compliance with these statutory procedures.

A merger between a Cayman parent company and its Cayman subsidiary or subsidiaries does not require authorization by a resolution of shareholders. For this purpose, a subsidiary is a company of which at least 90% of the issued shares entitled to vote 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 limited circumstances, a dissenting shareholder of a Cayman constituent is entitled to payment of the fair value of his or her shares upon dissenting from a merger or consolidation. The exercise of such dissenter rights will preclude the exercise by the dissenting shareholder of any other rights to which he or she might otherwise be entitled by virtue of holding shares, save for the right to seek relief on the grounds that the merger or consolidation is void or unlawful.

Table of Contents

In addition, there are statutory provisions that facilitate the reconstruction and amalgamation of companies by way of schemes of arrangement, provided that the arrangement is approved by seventy-five percent (75%) in value of the shareholders or class of shareholders, as the case may be, that are present and voting either in person or by proxy at a meeting, or meetings, convened for that purpose. The convening of the meetings and subsequently the arrangement must be sanctioned by the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands. While a dissenting shareholder has the right to express to the court the view that the transaction ought not to be approved, the court can be expected to approve the arrangement if it determines that:

	●	the statutory provisions as to the required majority vote have been met;

	●	the shareholders have been fairly represented at the meeting in question and the statutory majority are acting bona fide without coercion of the minority to promote interests adverse to those of the class;

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

	●	the arrangement is not one that would more properly be sanctioned under some other provision of the Companies Act.

When a takeover offer is made and accepted by holders of 90.0% of the shares affected within four months, the offeror may, within a two-month period commencing on the expiration of such four-month period, give notice to 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 that has been so approved unless there is evidence of fraud, bad faith or collusion.

If an arrangement and reconstruction is thus approved, or if a takeover offer is made and accepted, a 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.

Shareholders’ Suits. In principle, we will normally be the proper plaintiff to sue for a wrong done to us as a company, and as a general rule, a derivative action may not be brought by a minority shareholder. However, based on English law authorities, which would in all likelihood be of persuasive authority in the Cayman Islands, the Cayman Islands courts can be expected to follow and apply the common law principles (namely the rule in Foss v. Harbottle and the exceptions thereto) so that a non-controlling shareholder may be permitted to commence a class action against or derivative actions in the name of the company to challenge:

	●	a company acts act illegally or ultra vires with respect to the company and is therefore incapable of ratification by the shareholders;

	●	the act which, although not ultra vires, requires authorization by a qualified (or special) majority (that is, more than a simple majority vote that has not been obtained; and

	●	an act which constitutes a “fraud on the minority.” Where the wrongdoers are themselves in control of the company,

Indemnification of Directors and Executive Officers and Limitation of Liability. Cayman Islands law does not limit the extent to which a company’s memorandum and 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, or against the indemnified person’s own fraud or dishonesty. Our [post-offering] amended and restated memorandum and articles of association provide to the extent permitted by Cayman Islands 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) 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 our business or affairs or in the execution or discharge of the existing or former director (including alternate director), secretary’s or officer’s duties, powers, authorities or discretions; and

	(b)	without limitation to paragraph (a) above, 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 us or our affairs in any court or tribunal, whether in the Cayman Islands or elsewhere.

Table of Contents

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.

To the extent permitted by the Companies Act, 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. This standard of conduct is generally the same as permitted under the Delaware General Corporation Law for a Delaware corporation.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers, or persons controlling us under 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.

Directors’ Fiduciary Duties. Under Delaware corporate law, a director of a Delaware corporation has a fiduciary duty to the corporation and its shareholders. This duty has two components: the duty of care and the duty of loyalty. The duty of care requires that a director act in good faith, with the care that an ordinarily prudent person would exercise under similar circumstances. Under this duty, a director must inform himself or herself of, and disclose to shareholders, all material information reasonably available regarding a significant transaction. The duty of loyalty requires that a director acts in a manner he or she reasonably believes to be in the best interests of the corporation. He or she must not use his or her corporate position for personal gain or advantage. This duty prohibits self-dealing by a director and mandates that the best interest of the corporation and its shareholders take precedence over any interest possessed by a director, officer, or controlling shareholder and not shared by the shareholders generally. In general, actions of a director are presumed to have been made on an informed basis, in good faith, and in the honest belief that the action taken was in the best interests of the corporation. However, this presumption may be rebutted by evidence of a breach of one of the fiduciary duties. Should such evidence be presented concerning a transaction by a director, the director must prove the procedural fairness of the transaction and that the transaction was of fair value to the corporation.

As a matter of Cayman Islands law, a director of a Cayman Islands company owes three types of duties to the company: (i) statutory duties, (ii) fiduciary duties, and (iii) common law duties. The 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 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 amended 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.

Shareholder Action by Written Resolution. Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, a corporation may eliminate the right of shareholders to act by written consent by amendment to its certificate of incorporation. Cayman Islands law and our [post-offering] amended and restated articles of association provide that our shareholders may approve corporate matters by way of a unanimous written resolution signed by or on behalf of each shareholder who would have been entitled to vote on such matter at a general meeting without a meeting being held.

Shareholder Proposals. Under the Delaware General Corporation 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 governing documents. A special meeting may be called by the board of directors or any other person authorized to do so in the governing documents, but shareholders may be precluded from calling special meetings.

Table of Contents

The 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. Our [post-offering] amended and restated articles of association allow one or more of our shareholders who together hold not less than 10% of the rights to vote to requisition a general meeting of our shareholders, in which case our directors are obliged to call such meeting. Other than this right to requisition a shareholders’ meeting, our amended and restated articles of association do not provide our shareholders with any other right to put proposals before annual general meetings or extraordinary general meetings. As an exempted Cayman Islands company, we may but are not obliged by law to call shareholders’ annual general meetings.

Cumulative Voting. Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, cumulative voting for elections of directors is not permitted unless the corporation’s certificate of incorporation specifically provides for it. Cumulative voting potentially facilitates the representation of minority shareholders on a board of directors since it permits the minority shareholder to cast all the votes to which the shareholder is entitled for a single director, which increases the shareholder’s voting power with respect to electing such director. There are no prohibitions in relation to cumulative voting under the laws of the Cayman Islands, but our [post-offering] amended and restated articles of association do not provide for cumulative voting. As a result, our shareholders are not afforded any less protections or rights on this issue than shareholders of a Delaware corporation.

Removal of Directors. Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, a director of a corporation with a classified board may be removed only for cause with the approval of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote, unless the certificate of incorporation provides otherwise. Under our [post-offering] amended and restated articles of association, directors may be removed, by an ordinary resolution of our shareholders. In addition, a director’s office shall be vacated if the director (i) is prohibited by the law of the Cayman Islands from acting as a director, (ii) is made bankrupt or makes any arrangement or composition with his creditors generally; (iii) only held office as a Director for a fixed term and such term expires; (iv) 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; (v) resigns his or her office by notice in writing to the company; (vi) is removed from office pursuant to any other provisions of our [post-offering] amended and restated memorandum and articles of association.

Transactions with Interested Shareholders. The Delaware General Corporation Law contains a business combination statute applicable to Delaware corporations whereby, unless the corporation has specifically elected not to be governed by such statute by amendment to its certificate of incorporation, it is prohibited from engaging in certain business combinations with an “interested shareholder” for three years following the date that such person becomes an interested shareholder. An interested shareholder generally is a person or a group who or which owns or owned 15% or more of the target’s outstanding voting share within the past three years. This has the effect of limiting the ability of a potential acquirer to make a two-tiered bid for the target in which all shareholders would not be treated equally. The statute does not apply if, among other things, prior to the date on which such shareholder becomes an interested shareholder, the board of directors approves either the business combination or the transaction that resulted in the person becoming an interested shareholder. This encourages any potential acquirer of a Delaware corporation to negotiate the terms of any acquisition transaction with the target’s board of directors.

Cayman Islands law has no comparable statute. As a result, we cannot avail ourselves of the types of protections afforded by the Delaware business combination statute. However, although Cayman Islands law does not regulate transactions between a company and its significant shareholders, it does provide that such transactions must be entered into bona fide in the best interests of the company and not with the effect of constituting a fraud on the minority shareholders.

Dissolution; Winding up. Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, unless the board of directors approves the proposal to dissolve, dissolution must be approved by shareholders holding 100% of the total voting power of the corporation. Only if the dissolution is initiated by the board of directors may it be approved by a simple majority of the corporation’s outstanding shares. Delaware law allows a Delaware corporation to include in its certificate of incorporation a supermajority voting requirement in connection with dissolutions initiated by the board.

If we are wound up, the shareholders may, subject to the articles and any other sanction required by the 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 and, for that purpose, to value any assets and to 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 for the benefit of shareholders and those liable to contribute to the winding up. The directors have the authority to present a petition for our winding up to the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands on our behalf without the sanction of a resolution passed at a general meeting.

Variation of Rights of Shares. Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, a corporation may vary the rights of a class of shares with the approval of a majority of the outstanding shares of such class, unless the certificate of incorporation provides otherwise. Under the Companies Act and our [post-offering] amended and restated articles of association, if our share capital is divided into more than one class 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 either with the consent in writing of the holders of not less than two-thirds of the issued shares of that class, or with the sanction of a resolution passed by a majority of not less than two-thirds 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.

Amendment of Governing Documents. Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, a corporation’s governing documents may be amended with the approval of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote, unless the certificate of incorporation provides otherwise. Under the Companies Act and our [post-offering] amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, our then effective memorandum and articles of association may only be amended by a special resolution of our shareholders.

Rights of Non-resident or Foreign Shareholders. There are no limitations imposed by our [post-offering] amended and restated memorandum and articles of association on the rights of non-resident or foreign shareholders to hold or exercise voting rights on our shares. In addition, there are no provisions in our [post-offering] amended and restated memorandum and articles of association governing the ownership threshold above which shareholder ownership must be disclosed.

SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE

Upon the completion of this Offering, we will have [ ] Shares sold in this Offering will be freely transferable by persons other than our “affiliates” without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act.

Prior to this Offering, there has been no public market for our Shares, and while we plan to apply to list our Shares on Nasdaq, we cannot assure you that a regular trading market for our Shares will develop or be sustained after this Offering. Future sales of substantial amounts of Shares in the public market, or the perception that such sales may occur, could adversely affect the market price of our Shares. Further, since a large number of our Shares will not be available for sale shortly after this Offering because of the contractual and legal restrictions on resale described below, sales of substantial amounts of our Shares in the public market after these restrictions lapse, or the perception that such sales may occur, could adversely affect the prevailing market price and our ability to raise equity capital in the future.

Lock-Up Agreements

We have agreed not to, for a period of six months from the closing date of this offering , offer, issue, sell, contract to sell, encumber, grant any option for the sale of, or otherwise dispose of, except in this offering, any of our Ordinary Shares or securities that are substantially similar to our Ordinary Shares, including but not limited to any options or warrants to purchase our Ordinary Shares, or any securities that are convertible into or exchangeable for, or that represent the right to receive, our Ordinary Shares or any such substantially similar securities (other than pursuant to employee stock option plans existing on, or upon the conversion or exchange of convertible or exchangeable securities outstanding as of, the date such lock-up agreement was executed), without the prior written consent of the Underwriter.

Furthermore, each of our directors, executive officers and shareholders of our Ordinary Shares has also agreed to enter into a similar lock-up agreement for a period of six months from the closing date of this offering , subject to certain exceptions, with respect to our Ordinary Shares and securities that are substantially similar to our Ordinary Shares.

Other than this offering, we are not aware of any plans by any significant shareholders to dispose of significant numbers of our Ordinary Shares. However, one or more existing shareholders or owners of securities convertible or exchangeable into or exercisable for our Ordinary Shares may dispose of significant numbers of our Ordinary Shares in the future. We cannot predict what effect, if any, future sales of our Ordinary Shares, or the availability of Ordinary Shares for future sale, will have on the trading price of our Ordinary Shares from time to time. Sales of substantial amounts of our Ordinary Shares in the public market, or the perception that these sales could occur, could adversely affect the trading price of our Ordinary Shares.

Rule 144

All of our Shares outstanding prior to this Offering are “restricted shares” 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 requirements. Under Rule 144 as currently in effect, a person who has beneficially owned our Shares for at least six months is generally entitled to sell the restricted securities without registration under the Securities Act beginning 90 days after the date of this prospectus, subject to certain additional restrictions.

Subject to the Lock-Up Agreements, our affiliates may sell within any three-month period a number of Shares that does not exceed the greater of the following:

	●	1% of the then outstanding Shares of the same class, which will equal approximately [ ] Shares immediately after this Offering assuming the over-allotment option is not exercised and [ ] Shares assuming the over-allotment option is exercised in full; or

	●	the average weekly trading volume of our Shares on Nasdaq during the four calendar weeks preceding the date on which notice of the sale is filed with the SEC.

Affiliates who sell restricted securities under Rule 144 may not solicit orders or arrange for the solicitation of orders, and they are also subject to notice requirements and the availability of current public information about us.

Persons who are not our affiliates are only subject to one of these additional restrictions, the requirement of the availability of current public information about us, and this additional restriction does not apply if they have beneficially owned our restricted shares for more than one year.

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 Shares from us in connection with a compensatory stock or option plan or other written agreement relating to compensation is eligible to resell such Shares 90 days after we became a reporting company under the Exchange Act in reliance on Rule 144, but without compliance with some of the restrictions, including the holding period, contained in Rule 144.

TAXATION

The following description is not intended to constitute a complete analysis of all tax considerations relating to the acquisition, ownership, and disposition of our Shares. You should consult your own tax advisor concerning the tax considerations of your particular situation, as well as any tax consequences that may arise under the laws of any state, local, foreign, or other taxing jurisdiction.

Cayman Islands Taxation

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

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 brought within the jurisdiction of the Cayman Islands. The Cayman Islands is a party to a double tax treaty entered with the United Kingdom in 2010 but is otherwise not party to any double tax treaties that are applicable to any payments made to or by our company. There are no foreign exchange controls or foreign exchange regulations or currency restrictions in the Cayman Islands.

The Cayman Islands enacted the International Tax Co-operation (Economic Substance) Act (2021 Revision) together with the Guidance Notes published by the Cayman Islands Tax Information Authority from time to time. The Company is required to comply with the economic substance requirements from July 1, 2019 and make an annual report in the Cayman Islands as to whether or not it is carrying on any relevant activities and if it is, it must satisfy an economic substance test.

Hong Kong Taxation

The following summary of certain relevant taxation provisions under the laws of Hong Kong is based on current law and practice and is subject to changes therein. This summary does not purport to address all possible tax consequences relating to purchasing, holding or selling the Ordinary Shares, and does not take into account the specific circumstances of any particular investors, some of whom may be subject to special rules. Accordingly, holders or prospective purchasers (particularly those subject to special tax rules, such as banks, dealers, insurance companies and tax-exempt entities) should consult their own tax advisors regarding the tax consequences of purchasing, holding or selling the Ordinary Shares. Under the current laws of Hong Kong:

	●	No profit tax is imposed in Hong Kong in respect of capital gains from the sale of the Ordinary Shares.

	●	Revenue gains from the sale of Ordinary Shares by persons carrying on a trade, profession or business in Hong Kong where the gains are derived from or arise in Hong Kong from the trade, profession or business will be chargeable to Hong Kong profits tax, which is currently imposed at the rate of 16.5% on corporations and at a maximum rate of 15% on individuals and unincorporated businesses.

	●	Gains arising from the sale of Ordinary Shares, where the purchases and sales of Ordinary Shares are effected outside of Hong Kong such as, for example, on the New York Stock Exchange, should not be subject to Hong Kong profits tax.

According to the current tax practice of the Hong Kong Inland Revenue Department, dividends paid on the Ordinary Shares would not be subject to any Hong Kong tax.

No Hong Kong stamp duty is payable on the purchase and sale of the Ordinary Shares.

People’s Republic of China Taxation

According to the Enterprise Income Tax Law of the PRC (the “Income Tax Law”) and the Implementation Regulations of Enterprise Income Tax Law of the PRC, the enterprise income tax for both domestic and foreign-invested enterprises are unified at 25%.

According to the Income Tax Law, income such as dividends, rental, interest and royalty from the PRC derived by a non-resident enterprise which has no establishment in the PRC or has establishment but the income has no relationship with such establishment is subject to a 10% withholding tax, which may be reduced if the foreign jurisdiction of incorporation has a tax treaty with the PRC that provides for a different withholding arrangement, unless the relevant income is specifically exempted from tax under the applicable income tax laws, regulations, notices and decisions which relate to foreign invested enterprises and their investors.

According to the arrangement between mainland China and Hong Kong, the withholding tax rate for dividends paid by a PRC resident enterprise to a Hong Kong resident enterprise is 5%, if the Hong Kong enterprise owns at least 25% of the PRC enterprise. According to the Notice of the State Administration of Taxation on Issues Relating to the Administration of the Dividend Provision in Tax Treaties, the corporate recipients of dividends distributed by PRC enterprises must satisfy the direct ownership thresholds at all times during the twelve (12) consecutive months preceding the receipt of the dividends.

Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations

The following discussion is a summary of U.S. federal income tax considerations generally applicable to U.S. Holders (as defined below) of the ownership and disposition of our Ordinary Shares. This summary applies only to U.S. Holders that hold our Ordinary Shares as capital assets (generally, property held for investment) and that have the U.S. dollar as their functional currency. This summary is based on U.S. tax laws in effect as of the date of this prospectus, on U.S. Treasury regulations in effect or, in some cases, proposed as of the date of this prospectus, and judicial and administrative interpretations thereof available on or before such date. All of the foregoing authorities are subject to change, which could apply retroactively and could affect the tax consequences described below. No ruling has been sought from the IRS with respect to any U.S. federal income tax considerations described below, and there can be no assurance that the IRS or a court will not take a contrary position. Moreover, this summary does not address the U.S. federal estate, gift, backup withholding, and alternative minimum tax considerations, or any state, local, and non-U.S. tax considerations, relating to the ownership and disposition of our Ordinary Shares. The following summary does not address all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation that may be important to particular investors in light of their individual circumstances or to persons in special tax situations such as:

	●	financial institutions or financial services entities;

	●	underwriters;

	●	insurance companies;

	●	pension plans;

	●	cooperatives;

	●	regulated investment companies;

	●	real estate investment trusts;

	●	grantor trusts;

	●	broker-dealers;

	●	traders that elect to use a mark-to-market method of accounting;

	●	governments or agencies or instrumentalities thereof;

	●	certain former U.S. citizens or long-term residents;

	●	tax-exempt entities (including private foundations);

	●	persons liable for alternative minimum tax;

	●	persons holding stock as part of a straddle, hedging, conversion or other integrated transaction;

	●	persons whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar;

	●	passive foreign investment companies;

	●	controlled foreign corporations;

	●	persons that actually or constructively own 5% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of our voting stock; or

	●	partnerships or other entities taxable as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes, or persons holding Ordinary Shares through such entities.

PROSPECTIVE INVESTORS ARE URGED TO CONSULT THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS REGARDING THE APPLICATION OF U.S. FEDERAL TAXATION TO THEIR PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES, AND THE STATE, LOCAL, NON-U.S., OR OTHER TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE OWNERSHIP AND DISPOSITION OF OUR ORDINARY SHARES.

Table of Contents

For purposes of this discussion, a “U.S. Holder” is a beneficial owner of our Ordinary Shares that is, 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) created or organized in the United States or under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia;

	●	an estate, the income of which 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 entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) is a beneficial owner of our Ordinary Shares, the tax treatment of a partner in the partnership will generally depend upon the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. Partnerships holding our Ordinary Shares and their partners are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding an investment in our Ordinary Shares.

Taxation of Dividends and Other Distributions on Our Ordinary Shares

As discussed under “Dividend Policy” above, we do not anticipate that any dividends will be paid in the foreseeable future. Subject to the PFIC rules discussed below, a U.S. Holder generally will be required to include in gross income, in accordance with such U.S. Holder’s method of accounting for United States federal income tax purposes, as dividends the amount of any distribution paid on the Ordinary Shares to the extent the distribution is paid out of our current or accumulated earnings and profits (as determined under United States federal income tax principles). Such dividends paid by us will be taxable to a corporate U.S. Holder as dividend income and will not be eligible for the dividends-received deduction generally allowed to domestic corporations in respect of dividends received from other domestic corporations. Dividends received by certain non-corporate U.S. Holders (including individuals) may be “qualified dividend income,” which is taxed at the lower capital gains rate, provided that our Ordinary Shares are readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States and the U.S. Holder satisfies certain holding periods and other requirements. In this regard, shares generally are considered to be readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States if they are listed on Nasdaq, as our Ordinary Shares are expected to be.

Distributions in excess of such earnings and profits generally will be applied against and reduce the U.S. Holder’s basis in its Ordinary Shares (but not below zero) and, to the extent in excess of such basis, will be treated as gain from the sale or exchange of such Ordinary Shares. In the event that we do not maintain calculations of our earnings and profits under United States federal income tax principles, a U.S. Holder should expect that all cash distributions will be reported as dividends for United States federal income tax purposes. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the availability of the lower rate for any cash dividends paid with respect to our Ordinary Shares.

Dividends will generally be treated as income from foreign sources for U.S. foreign tax credit purposes and will generally constitute passive category income. Depending on the U.S. Holder’s individual facts and circumstances, a U.S. Holder may be eligible, subject to a number of complex limitations, to claim a foreign tax credit not in excess of any applicable treaty rate in respect of any foreign withholding taxes imposed on dividends received on our Ordinary Shares. A U.S. Holder who does not elect to claim a foreign tax credit for foreign tax withheld may instead claim a deduction, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, in respect of such withholding, but only for a year in which such U.S. Holder elects to do so for all creditable foreign income taxes. The rules governing the foreign tax credit are complex and their outcome depends in large part on the U.S. Holder’s individual facts and circumstances. Accordingly, U.S. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the availability of the foreign tax credit under their particular circumstances.

Taxation of Sale or Other Disposition of Ordinary Shares

Subject to the discussion below under “Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules,” a U.S. Holder will generally recognize capital gain or loss upon the sale or other disposition of Ordinary Shares in an amount equal to the difference between the amount realized upon the disposition and the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in such Ordinary Shares. Any capital gain or loss will be long term if the Ordinary Shares have been held for more than one year and will generally be U.S.-source gain or loss for U.S. foreign tax credit purposes. Long-term capital gains of non-corporate taxpayers are currently eligible for reduced rates of taxation. The deductibility of a capital loss may be subject to limitations. U.S. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the tax consequences if a foreign tax is imposed on a disposition of our Ordinary Shares, including the availability of the foreign tax credit under their particular circumstances.

Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules

A non-U.S. corporation, such as our company, will be classified as a PFIC, for U.S. federal income tax purposes for any taxable year, if either (i) 75% or more of its gross income for such year consists of certain types of “passive” income or (ii) 50% or more of the value of its assets (determined on the basis of a quarterly average) during such year is attributable to assets that produce or are held for the production of passive income. For this purpose, cash and cash equivalents are categorized as passive assets. Passive income generally includes, among other things, dividends, interest, rents, royalties, and gains from the disposition of passive assets. We will be treated as owning a proportionate share of the assets and earning a proportionate share of the income of any other corporation in which we own, directly or indirectly, more than 25% (by value) of the stock.

No assurance can be given as to whether we may be or may become a PFIC, as this is a factual determination made annually that will depend, in part, upon the composition of our income and assets. Furthermore, the composition of our income and assets may also be affected by how, and how quickly, we use our liquid assets and the cash raised in this Offering. Under circumstances where our revenue from activities that produce passive income significantly increase relative to our revenue from activities that produce non-passive income, or where we determine not to deploy significant amounts of cash for active purposes, our risk of becoming classified as a PFIC may substantially increase. In addition, because there are uncertainties in the application of the relevant rules, it is possible that the Internal Revenue Service may challenge our classification of certain income and assets as non-passive or our valuation of our tangible and intangible assets, each of which may result in our becoming a PFIC for the current or subsequent taxable years. If we were classified as a PFIC for any year during which a U.S. Holder held our Ordinary Shares, we generally would continue to be treated as a PFIC for all succeeding years during which such U.S. Holder held our Ordinary Shares even if we cease to be a PFIC in subsequent years, unless certain elections are made. Our U.S. counsel expresses no opinion with respect to our PFIC status for any taxable year.

Table of Contents

If we are classified as a PFIC for any taxable year during which a U.S. Holder holds our Ordinary Shares, and unless the U.S. Holder makes a mark-to-market election (as described below), the U.S. Holder will generally be subject to special tax rules that have a penalizing effect, regardless of whether we remain a PFIC, on (i) any excess distribution that we make to the U.S. Holder (which generally means any distribution paid during a taxable year to a U.S. Holder that is greater than 125 percent of the average annual distributions paid in the three preceding taxable years or, if shorter, the U.S. Holder’s holding period for the Ordinary Shares), and (ii) any gain realized on the sale or other disposition of Ordinary Shares. Under these rules,

	●	the U.S. Holder’s gain or excess distribution will be allocated ratably over the U.S. Holder’s holding period for the Ordinary Shares;

	●	the amount allocated to the current taxable year and any taxable years in the U.S. Holder’s holding period prior to the first taxable year in which we are classified as a PFIC (each, a “pre-PFIC year”), will be taxable as ordinary income;

	●	the amount allocated to each prior taxable year, other than a pre-PFIC year, will be subject to tax at the highest tax rate in effect for individuals or corporations, as appropriate, for that year; and

	●	an additional tax equal to the interest charge generally applicable to underpayments of tax will be imposed in respect of the tax attributable to each prior taxable year, other than a pre-PFIC year, of the U.S. Holder.

If we are treated as a PFIC for any taxable year during which a U.S. Holder holds our Ordinary Shares, or if any of our subsidiaries is also a PFIC, such U.S. Holder would be treated as owning a proportionate amount (by value) of the shares of any lower-tier PFICs for purposes of the application of these rules. U.S. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the application of the PFIC rules to any of our subsidiaries.

As an alternative to the foregoing rules, a U.S. Holder of “marketable stock” in a PFIC may make a mark-to-market election with respect to such stock, provided that such stock is “regularly traded” within the meaning of applicable U.S. Treasury regulations. If our Ordinary Shares qualify as being regularly traded, and an election is made, the U.S. Holder will generally (i) include as ordinary income for each taxable year that we are a PFIC the excess, if any, of the fair market value of Ordinary Shares held at the end of the taxable year over the adjusted tax basis of such Ordinary Shares and (ii) deduct as an ordinary loss the excess, if any, of the adjusted tax basis of the Ordinary Shares over the fair market value of such Ordinary Shares held at the end of the taxable year, but such deduction will only be allowed to the extent of the amount previously included in income as a result of the mark-to-market election. The U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the Ordinary Shares would be adjusted to reflect any income or loss resulting from the mark-to-market election. If a U.S. Holder makes a mark-to-market election in respect of a corporation classified as a PFIC and such corporation ceases to be classified as a PFIC, the U.S. Holder will not be required to take into account the gain or loss described above during any period that such corporation is not classified as a PFIC. If a U.S. Holder makes a mark-to-market election, any gain such U.S. Holder recognizes upon the sale or other disposition of our Ordinary Shares in a year when we are a PFIC will be treated as ordinary income and any loss will be treated as ordinary loss, but such loss will only be treated as ordinary loss to the extent of the net amount previously included in income as a result of the mark-to-market election.

Because a mark-to-market election cannot be made for any lower-tier PFICs that we may own, a U.S. Holder may continue to be subject to the PFIC rules with respect to such U.S. Holder’s indirect interest in any investments held by us that are treated as an equity interest in a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Furthermore, as an alternative to the foregoing rules, a U.S. Holder that owns stock of a PFIC generally may make a “qualified electing fund” election regarding such corporation to elect out of the PFIC rules described above regarding excess distributions and recognized gains. However, we do not intend to provide information necessary for U.S. Holders to make qualified electing fund elections which, if available, would result in tax treatment different from the general tax treatment for PFICs described above.

If a U.S. Holder owns our Ordinary Shares during any taxable year that we are a PFIC, the U.S. Holder must generally file an annual Internal Revenue Service Form 8621 and provide such other information as may be required by the U.S. Treasury Department, whether or not a mark-to-market election is or has been made. If we are or become a PFIC, you should consult your tax advisor regarding any reporting requirements that may apply to you.

You should consult your tax advisors regarding how the PFIC rules apply to your investment in our Ordinary Shares.

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding

Certain U.S. Holders are required to report information to the Internal Revenue Service relating to an interest in “specified foreign financial assets,” including shares issued by a non-United States corporation, for any year in which the aggregate value of all specified foreign financial assets exceeds $50,000 (or a higher dollar amount prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service), subject to certain exceptions (including an exception for shares held in custodial accounts maintained with a U.S. financial institution). These rules also impose penalties if a U.S. Holder is required to submit such information to the Internal Revenue Service and fails to do so.

In addition, dividend payments with respect to our Ordinary Shares and proceeds from the sale, exchange or redemption of our Ordinary Shares may be subject to additional information reporting to the IRS and possible U.S. backup withholding. 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 IRS 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 IRS 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 IRS and furnishing any required information. We do not intend to withhold taxes for individual shareholders. However, transactions effected through certain brokers or other intermediaries may be subject to withholding taxes (including backup withholding), and such brokers or intermediaries may be required by law to withhold such taxes.

THE PRECEDING DISCUSSION OF U.S. FEDERAL TAX CONSIDERATIONS IS FOR GENERAL INFORMATION PURPOSES ONLY. IT IS NOT TAX ADVICE. EACH PROSPECTIVE INVESTOR SHOULD CONSULT ITS OWN TAX ADVISOR REGARDING THE PARTICULAR U.S. FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL AND FOREIGN TAX CONSEQUENCES OF PURCHASING, HOLDING AND DISPOSING OF OUR ORDINARY SHARES, INCLUDING THE CONSEQUENCES OF ANY PROPOSED CHANGE IN APPLICABLE LAWS.

The underwriters and the representative are collectively referred to as the “underwriters” and the “representative,” respectively. The underwriters are offering the Ordinary Shares subject to their acceptance of the Ordinary Shares from us and subject to prior sale. The underwriting agreement provides that the obligations of the underwriters to purchase the Ordinary Shares included in this offering are subject to the approval of certain legal matters by their counsel and to certain other conditions. The underwriters reserve the right to withdraw, cancel or modify offers to the public and to reject orders in whole or in part. The underwriters are obligated, severally and not jointly, to purchase all the Ordinary Shares if any such Ordinary Shares are taken. However, the underwriters are not required to take or pay for the Ordinary Shares covered by the underwriters’ over-allotment option described below.

The underwriters initially propose to offer part of the Ordinary Shares directly to the public at the offering price listed on the cover page of this prospectus and part to certain dealers at a price that represents a concession not in excess of $ per Ordinary Share under the initial public offering price. After the initial offering of the Ordinary Shares, the offering price and other selling terms may from time to time be varied by the representative.

Commissions and Expenses

The following table shows the public offering price, the underwriting discounts and commissions that we are to pay the underwriters and the proceeds, before expenses, to us in connection with this offering.

We will also pay to the representative, by deduction from the net proceeds of the offering contemplated herein, a non-accountable expense allowance equal to one percent (1.0%) of the gross proceeds (excluding any proceeds from the exercise of the over-allotment option) received by us from the sale of our Ordinary Shares.

Table of Contents

We estimate that the total expenses of the offering payable by us, excluding the underwriting discounts and commissions and non-accountable expense allowance, will be approximately $ , including a maximum aggregate reimbursement of $185,000 of representative’s accountable expenses.

We paid an advance (the “Advance”) expense deposit of $75,000 to the representative for its anticipated out-of-pocket expenses. 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).

We have agreed to reimburse the representative’s accountable expenses of the offering, up to $185,000 (inclusive of the Advance), including, but not limited to: (i) the legal and due diligence fees and expenses incurred by or paid on behalf of the representative (including costs of background checks on our senior management in an amount not to exceed $10,000); (ii) the reasonable cost for road show meetings and preparation of the roadshow presentation; and (iii) all reasonable travel and lodging expenses incurred by the representative in connection with the roadshow.

The representative is entitled to a fee with respect to future financings consummated solely with investors with whom we have had a conference call or a meeting arranged by the representative since the engagement of the underwriters to date, provided that the future financing is consummated at any time within the twelve (12) months period following the earlier of the expiration or termination of our engagement of the underwriters.

Representative’s Warrants

In addition to the foregoing, we have agreed to issue warrants to the representative of the underwriters to purchase such number of Ordinary Shares equal to five percent (5.0%) of the total number of Ordinary Shares sold in this offering (including any Ordinary Share sold pursuant to the exercise of the over-allotment option). Such warrants shall have an exercise price equal to 110% of the offering price of the Ordinary Shares sold to investors in this offering and may be exercised on a cashless basis. The representative’s warrants will be exercisable commencing six (6) months from the closing of this offering and will terminate on the fifth anniversary of the commencement of sales for this offering. Furthermore, the representative’s warrants and the underlying shares will be deemed compensation by FINRA, and therefore will be subject to compliance with FINRA Rule 5110. In accordance with FINRA Rule 5110(e)(1), and except as otherwise permitted by FINRA rules, neither the representative’s warrants nor any of our Ordinary Shares issued upon exercise of the representative’s warrants may be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated, or be the subject of any hedging, short sale, derivative, put or call transaction that would result in the effective economic disposition of such securities for a period of 180 days immediately following the commencement of sales of this offering. In addition, although the representative’s warrants and the Ordinary Shares will be registered by the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, we have also agreed that the representative’s warrants will provide for registration rights in certain cases. The unlimited piggyback registration right provided will not be greater than five years from the effective date of the offering in compliance with FINRA Rule 5110(g)(8).

We will bear all fees and expenses attendant to registering the Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the representative’s warrants. The exercise price and number of Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the representative’s warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances, in accordance with FINRA Rule 5110(g)(8).

Some of the underwriters are expected to make offers and sales both inside and outside the United States through their respective selling agents. Any offers or sales in the United States will be conducted by broker-dealers registered with the SEC.

Lock-Up Agreements

Our directors and officers and holders of our outstanding shares as of the effective date of this registration statement will enter into customary “lock-up” agreements in favor of the underwriters for a period of six (6) months from the date of this offering. We have agreed with the underwriters that for a period of six (6) months from the closing of this offering, we will not (a) offer, sell, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any capital shares or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for capital shares; or (b) file or caused to be filed any registration statement with the SEC relating to the offering of any capital shares or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for capital shares.

In connection with the offering, the underwriters may purchase and sell Ordinary Shares in the open market. These transactions may include short sales, stabilizing transactions and purchases to cover positions created by short sales. Short sales involve the sale by the underwriters of a greater number of Ordinary Shares than they are required to purchase in the offering, and a short position represents the amount of such sales that have not been covered by subsequent purchases. A “covered short position” is a short position that is not greater than the amount of additional Ordinary Shares for which the underwriters’ option described above may be exercised. The underwriters may cover any covered short position by either exercising their option to purchase additional Ordinary Shares or purchasing Ordinary Shares in the open market. In determining the source of Ordinary Shares to cover the covered short position, the underwriters will consider, among other things, the price of Ordinary Shares available for purchase in the open market as compared as compared to the price at which they may purchase additional Ordinary Shares pursuant to the option described above. “Naked” short sales are any short sales that create a short position greater than the amount of additional Ordinary Shares for which the option described above may be exercised. The underwriters must cover any such naked short position by purchasing 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 Ordinary Shares in the open market after pricing that could adversely affect investors who purchase in the offering. Stabilizing transactions consist of various bids for or purchases of the Ordinary Shares made by the underwriters in the open market prior to the completion of the offering.

The underwriters may also impose a penalty bid. This occurs when a particular underwriter repays to the underwriters a portion of the underwriting discount received by it because the representative has repurchased Ordinary Shares sold by or for the account of such underwriter in stabilizing or short covering transactions.

Purchases to cover a short position and stabilizing transactions, as well as other purchases by the underwriters for their own accounts, may have the effect of preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of our Ordinary Shares, and together with the imposition of the penalty bid, may stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the market price of the Ordinary Shares. As a result, the price of the Ordinary Shares may be higher than the price that otherwise might exist in the open market. The underwriters are not required to engage in these activities and may end any of these activities at any time. These transactions may be effected on the New York Stock Exchange, Nasdaq or relevant exchange, in the over-the-counter market or otherwise.

We have agreed to indemnify the several underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. A prospectus in electronic format may be made available by e-mail or on the websites or through online services maintained by one or more of the underwriters or their affiliates. In those cases, prospective investors may view offering terms online and may be allowed to place orders online. The underwriters may agree with us to allocate a specific number of 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 the underwriters’ websites and any information contained in any other website maintained by any of the underwriters is not part of this prospectus, has not been approved and/or endorsed by us or the underwriters and should not be relied upon by investors.

Right of First Refusal

We have granted the representative a right of first refusal for a period of twelve (12) months from the closing of this offering to act as lead or joint investment banker, lead or joint book-runners, lead or joint placement agent, and/or investment banker/advisor, at the representative’s discretion, for each and every future public and private equity and debt offering, including all equity linked financings, and for each M&A transaction for us or any successor to or any subsidiary of us on terms customary to the representative.

Pricing of the Offering

Ordinary Shares sold by the underwriters to the public will initially be offered at the initial public offering price set forth on the cover page of this prospectus. Any Ordinary Share sold by the underwriters to securities dealers may be sold at a discount of up to US$ per Ordinary Share from the initial public offering price. After the initial offering of the Ordinary Shares, the representative may change the offering price and the other selling terms. The offering of the Ordinary Shares by the underwriters is subject to receipt and acceptance and subject to the underwriters’ right to reject any order in whole or in part.

Prior to the offering, there has been no public market for the Ordinary Shares. The initial public offering price has been negotiated among us and the representative. Among the factors to be considered in determining the initial public offering price of the Ordinary Shares, in addition to prevailing market conditions, will be our historical performance, estimates of the business potential and earnings prospects of us, an assessment of our management and the consideration of the above factors in relation to market valuation of companies in related businesses.

Relationships

The underwriters and their respective affiliates are full service financial institutions engaged in various activities, which may include sales and trading, commercial and investment banking, advisory, investment management, investment research, principal investment, hedging, market making, brokerage and other financial and non-financial activities and services. Certain of the underwriters and their respective affiliates have provided, and may in the future provide, a variety of these services to us and to persons and entities with relationships with us, for which they received or will receive customary fees and expenses.

In the ordinary course of their various business activities, the underwriters and their respective affiliates, officers, directors and employees may purchase, sell or hold a broad array of investments and actively trade securities, derivatives, loans, commodities, currencies, credit default swaps and other financial instruments for their own account and for the accounts of their customers, and such investment and trading activities may involve or relate to our assets, securities and/or instruments (directly, as collateral securing other obligations or otherwise) and/or persons and entities with relationships with us. The underwriters and their respective affiliates may also communicate independent investment recommendations, market color or trading ideas and/or publish or express independent research views in respect of such assets, securities or instruments and may at any time hold, or recommend to clients that they should acquire, long and/or short positions in such assets, securities and instruments.

Selling Restrictions

No action may be taken in any jurisdiction other than the United States that would permit a public offering of the Ordinary Shares or the possession, circulation or distribution of this prospectus in any jurisdiction where action for that purpose is required. Accordingly, the Ordinary Shares may not be offered or sold, directly or indirectly, and neither the prospectus nor any other offering material or advertisements in connection with the Ordinary Shares may be distributed or published in or from any country or jurisdiction except under circumstances that will result in compliance with any applicable laws, rules and regulations of any such country or jurisdiction.

Securities legislation in certain provinces or territories of Canada may provide a purchaser with remedies for rescission or damages if this prospectus (including any amendment thereto) contains a misrepresentation, provided that the remedies for rescission or damages are exercised by the purchaser within the time limit prescribed by the securities legislation of the purchaser’s province or territory.

Table of Contents

ENFORCEMENT 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 because of certain benefits associated with being a Cayman Islands company, 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. The Cayman Islands, however, has a less exhaustive body of securities laws as compared to the United States and these securities laws provide significantly less protection to investors. Additionally, Cayman Islands companies may not have standing to sue before the Federal courts of the United States.

Substantially all of our assets are located in the PRC. In addition, most 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 for investors 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.

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 counsel with respect to the laws of the Cayman Islands has advised us that there is uncertainty as to whether the courts of the Cayman Islands would (i) recognize or enforce judgments of United States courts obtained against us predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States and (ii) entertain original actions brought in the Cayman Islands 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 further advised us that there is no statutory enforcement laws 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: (i) is given by a foreign court of competent jurisdiction; (ii) imposes on the judgment debtor a liability to pay a liquidated sum for which the judgment has been given ; (iii) is final; (iv) is not in respect of taxes, a fine or a penalty; (v) was not obtained by fraud; and (vi) is not of a kind the enforcement of which is contrary to natural justice or 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.

DeHeng Law Offices (Shenzhen) has further advised us that there are currently no statutes, treaties, or other forms of reciprocity between the United States and The PRC providing for the mutual recognition and enforcement of court judgments. Under The PRC laws, a foreign judgment cannot be directly or summarily enforced in the PRC. The judgment must first be recognized by a the PRC court either under applicable the PRC laws or in accordance with common law principles. For the PRC courts to accept the jurisdiction for recognition of a foreign judgment, the foreign country where the judgment is made must be a reciprocating country expressly specified and listed in the Reciprocal Enforcement of Judgments Act 1958, Maintenance Orders (Facilities for Enforcement) Act 1949 or Probate and Administration Act 1959. As the United States is not one of the countries specified under the statutory regime where a foreign judgment can be recognized and enforced in the PRC, a judgment obtained in the United States must be enforced by commencing fresh proceedings in a PRC court. The requirements for a foreign judgment to be recognized and enforceable in the PRC are: (i) the party to such judgment apply directly to the intermediate people’s court of the PRC which has jurisdiction for recognition and enforcement, or the foreign court, pursuant to the provisions of the international treaty concluded or acceded to by the country of the foreign country and the PRC or under the principle of reciprocity, request for recognition and enforcement by the PRC court; (ii) the foreign court must have had jurisdiction accepted by a the PRC court; (iii) the judgment was not obtained by fraud; (iv) the enforcement of the judgment must not contravene the basic principles of the laws of PRC or the sovereignty, security and public interests of the PRC; (v) the people’s court has not made a judgment or ruling on the same dispute and has not recognized the judgment or ruling made by a court of a third country for the same dispute; (vi) the proceedings in which the judgment was obtained were not opposed to natural justice; and (vii) the judgment must be final and conclusive.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of

STAK INC.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of STAK INC. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of June 30, 2023 and 2022, and the related consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income, changes in shareholders’ (deficit)/equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended June 30, 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 financial positions of the Company as of June 30, 2023 and 2022 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended June 30, 2023, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

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.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Expressed in U.S. dollars, except for number of shares)

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES

STAK Inc. (“STAK” or the “Company”) was incorporated as an exempted holding company under the laws of Cayman Islands on May 9, 2023. STAK does not conduct any substantive operations on its own, but instead conducts its business operations through its wholly-owned subsidiaries in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”) and the subsidiary of such entity. STAK and its subsidiaries are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Company”. The Company is engaged in the research, development, manufacturing, and sales of oilfield-specific production and maintenance equipment, and provides automatic solutions in PRC.

Reorganization

In preparation for its initial public offering, the Company completed a reorganization on September 19, 2023 (the “Reorganization”), which involved the following steps:

●	on May 9, 2023, STAK was established under the laws of Cayman Islands, and is controlled by Mr. Chuanbo Jiang;

●	on May 15, 2023, STAK Holdings Limited (“STAK HK”) was incorporated in Hong Kong as a wholly-owned subsidiary of STAK;

●	on August 4, 2023, STAK (Changzhou) Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd. (“STAK Changzhou” or “WFOE”) was established as a wholly-owned subsidiary of STAK HK in the PRC; and

●	on September 19, 2023, WFOE acquired 100% equity interest of YLAN Technology (Changzhou) Co., Ltd. (“YLAN”).

On September 19, 2023, WFOE and the shareholders of YLAN entered into a share purchase agreement to purchase 100% equity shares of YLAN. Immediately before and after the Reorganization, Mr. Chuanbo Jiang controls over 50% of equity interest of these entities, and the Reorganization has been treated as a corporate restructuring of entities under common control. Thus, the current capital structure has been retroactively presented in prior periods as if such structure existed at that time, and the entities are presented on a consolidated basis for all periods to which such entities were under common control. The results of these subsidiaries are included in the financial statements for both years ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. The discussion and presentation of financial statements herein assumes the completion of the Reorganization, which is accounted for retroactively as if it occurred on July 1, 2021 in accordance with ASC805-50-45-5, and the equity has been restated to reflect the change, as well.

The consolidated financial statements reflect the activities of STAK and each of the following entities as of June 30, 2023:

Name	Date of Incorporation	Place of Incorporation	Percentage of effective ownership	Principal Activities
STAK Holdings Limited (“STAK HK”)	May 15, 2023	Hong Kong	100%	Holding company
STAK (Changzhou) intelligent Technology Co., Ltd. (“STAK Changzhou” or “WFOE”)	August 4, 2023	PRC	100%	Holding company
YLAN Technology (Changzhou) Co., Ltd. (“YLAN”)	June 18, 2020	PRC	100%	design, production and sales of oilfield-specialized production and maintenance equipment, and provide automatic solution for them
Changzhou Zhongshan intelligent Equipment Co., Ltd. (“Zhongshan Co”)	April 8, 2022	PRC	100%	design, collaborate production and sales of specialized oilfield vehicles

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Expressed in U.S. dollars, except for number of shares)

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a) 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”). The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of STAK, and its subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

(b) Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. The Company continually evaluates these estimates and assumptions based on the most recently available information, historical experience and various other assumptions that the Company believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Significant accounting estimates reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to, estimates and judgments applied in determination of provision for doubtful accounts, lower of cost and net realizable value of inventories, impairment losses for long-lived assets, valuation allowance for deferred tax assets and uncertain tax position. Since the use of estimates is an integral component of the financial reporting process, actual results could differ from those estimates.

(c) Fair value measurement

ASC 820 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three levels based on the extent to which inputs used in measuring fair value are observable in the market. These tiers include:

Level 1—defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;

Level 2—defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and

Level 3—defined as unobservable inputs for which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.

The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments approximate their fair values because of their short-term nature. The Company’s financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, prepayments and other current assets, amount due from and due to related parties, accounts payable and accrued expenses and other current liabilities.

(d) Discontinued operation

A discontinued operation may include a component of an entity or a group of components of an entity, or a business or nonprofit activity. A disposal of a component of an entity or a group of components of an entity is required to be reported in discontinued operation if the disposal represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results when any of the following occurs: (1) the component of an entity or group of components of an entity meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale; (2) the component of an entity or group of components of an entity is disposed of by sale; (3) the component of an entity or group of components of an entity is disposed of other than by sale (for example, by abandonment or in a distribution to owners in a spinoff).

For any component classified as held for sale or disposed of by sale or other than by sale that qualify for presentation as a discontinued operation in the period, the Company has reported the assets and liabilities of the discontinued operation as current asset of discontinued operation, and current liabilities of discontinued operation in the consolidated balance sheets if any. The results of operations of discontinued operation have been reflected separately in the consolidated statements of income as a single line item for all periods presented if any. Cash flows from discontinued operation of the three categories were separately presented in the consolidated statements of cash flows for all periods presented if any.

(e) Foreign currency translation and transactions

The reporting currency of the Company is the U.S. dollar (“USD” or “$”). The functional currency of subsidiaries located in China is the Chinese Renminbi (“RMB”), the functional currency of subsidiary located in Hong Kong is the Hong Kong dollars (“HK$”). For the entities whose functional currency is the RMB and HK$, results of operations and cash flows are translated at average exchange rates during the period, assets and liabilities are translated at the unified exchange rate at the end of the period, and equity is translated at historical exchange rates. As a result, amounts relating to assets and liabilities reported on the statements of cash flows may not necessarily agree with the changes in the corresponding balances on the balance sheets. Translation adjustments are reported as foreign currency translation adjustment and are shown as a separate component of other comprehensive income or loss in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income.

Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing on the transaction dates. Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date with any transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in the results of operations as incurred.

The consolidated balance sheets amounts, with the exception of equity, on June 30, 2023 and 2022 were translated at RMB7.2513 to $1.00 and RMB6.6981 to $1.00, respectively. Equity accounts were stated at their historical rates. The average translation rates applied to consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income and cash flows for the years ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 were RMB6.9536 to $1.00 and RMB6.4554 to $1.00, respectively.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

(f) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand, bank deposits and short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and have insignificant risk of changes in value related to changes in interest rates and have original maturities of three months or less when purchased.

(g) Accounts receivable

Accounts receivable are stated at the original amount less an allowance for doubtful receivables, if any, based on a review of all outstanding amounts at period end. An allowance is also made when there is objective evidence that the Company will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables. The Company analyzes the aging of the customer accounts, customer concentrations, customer credit-worthiness, historical and current economic trends and changes in its customer payment patterns when evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts.

(h) Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The cost of raw materials is determined on the basis of weighted average. The cost of finished goods is determined on the basis of weighted average and comprises direct materials, direct labor cost and an appropriate proportion of overhead.

Net realizable value is based on estimated selling prices less selling expenses and any further costs of completion. Adjustments to reduce the cost of inventory to net realizable value are made, if required, for estimated excess, obsolescence, or impaired balances. Write-downs are recorded in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income.

(i) Property and equipment, net

Property and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairment. Depreciation is calculated over the asset’s estimated useful life, using the straight-line method. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the life of the asset or the term of the lease, whichever is shorter. Estimated useful lives are as follows:

Categories	Estimates of useful lives	Estimates of residual values
Office equipment	3 years		5	%
Machinery and equipment	10 years		5	%
Transportation equipment	10 years		5	%

The Company reassesses the reasonableness of the estimates of useful lives and residual values of long-lived assets when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the useful lives and residual values of a major asset or a major category of assets may not be reasonable. Factors that the Company considers in deciding when to perform an analysis of useful lives and residual values of long-lived assets include, but are not limited to, significant variance of a business or product line in relation to expectations, significant deviation from industry or economic trends, and significant changes or planned changes in the use of the assets. The analysis will be performed at the asset or asset category with the reference to the assets’ conditions, current technologies, market, and future plan of usage and the useful lives of major competitors.

The cost of maintenance and repair is charged to expenses as incurred, whereas significant renewals and betterments are capitalized.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

(j) Intangible asset, net

Intangible asset is carried at cost less accumulated amortization and any recorded impairment. Intangible asset is amortized using the straight-line approach over the estimated economic useful lives of the assets as follows:

Category		Estimated useful life
Patent		20 years

(k) Deferred offering costs

Deferred offering costs consist of legal, accounting and other expenses incurred through the reporting date that are directly related to an anticipated offering and that will be charged as a reduction against additional paid-in capital upon the completion of the offering. Should the offering prove to be unsuccessful, these deferred costs, as well as additional expenses to be incurred, will be charged to operations.

(l) Impairment of long-lived assets

The Company evaluates the recoverability of long-lived assets or asset group with determinable useful lives whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that an asset or a group of assets’ carrying amount may not be recoverable. The Company measures the carrying amount of long-lived asset against the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of the assets or asset group and their eventual disposition. The carrying amount of the long-lived asset or asset group is not recoverable when the sum of the undiscounted expected future net cash flows is less than the carrying value of the asset being evaluated. Impairment loss is calculated as the amount by which the carrying value of the asset exceeds its fair value. Fair value is generally determined by discounting the cash flows expected to be generated by the assets or asset group, when the market prices are not readily available. The adjusted carrying amount of the assets becomes new cost basis and is depreciated over the assets’ remaining useful lives. Long-lived assets are grouped with other assets and liabilities at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets and liabilities. The impairment test is performed at the asset group level. The Company did not record any impairment charge for the years ended June 30, 2023 and 2022.

(m) Revenue recognition

The Company adopted ASC Topic 606 Revenue from Contracts with Customers with a date of the initial application of July 1, 2021 using the modified retrospective method.

The Company generates revenues primarily from sales of specialized oilfield vehicles, sales of specialized oilfield equipment, automation solutions service and others. In accordance with Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”), revenues from contracts with customers are recognized when or as the control of the services or goods is transferred to the customer, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services net of business tax and value added tax. Revenue recognition policies for each type of revenue stream are as follows:

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

(n) Revenue recognition - continued

Sales of specialized oilfield vehicles and specialized oilfield equipment

The Company generates revenues from sales of specialized oilfield vehicles and specialized oilfield equipment through contracts with customers. The Company identifies only one performance obligation to provide customers with the specific vehicle or equipment at a fixed price stated in the contracts. The revenue is recognized at a point in time upon the customer’s acceptance of products. Payment terms for product sales are generally set at 6 months after the consideration becomes due and payable. Vehicle chassis used in oilfield vehicles and equipment is designed by the Company and produced by qualified special vehicle manufacturers. The Company is deemed as the principal, recognizing revenue on a gross basis as the Company is primarily responsible for fulfilling the contract, bears the inventory risk, and has the discretion in establishing the sales price.

Service income from automation solutions

The Company provides customers with automation solutions services, including software development, training, debugging, maintenance, and other services for oilfield-specific equipment. These services are not distinct services but provide source code and script of well-developed software or function to customers. Therefore, the Company identifies only one performance obligation to provide customer with the source code and script of the customized software or function at a fixed price stated in the contracts. Customers would not receive and consume the benefits before the delivery of the service, in addition, the Company would control the source code and script and would not have the enforceable right to the payment until the delivery of the service, therefore, the revenue is recognized at a point in time upon the customers’ acceptance of the developed software or function. Payment terms for product sales are generally set at 6 months after the consideration becomes due and payable. The Company is deemed as the principal, recognizing revenue on a gross basis as the Company is primarily responsible for fulfilling the contract, bears the inventory risk, and has the discretion in establishing the sales price.

Others

Other revenue primarily derives from sales of parts and materials, such as integrated circuits, box iron and backlight panels, etc. The Company recognizes revenue from sales of parts and materials at a point in time upon the customer’s acceptance of the parts and materials.

The following table disaggregates the Company’s revenues by product line for the years ended June 30, 2023 and 2022:

	For the Year Ended June 30,
	2023		2022
Sales of specialized oilfield equipment	$	13,919,600	$	6,393,405
Sales of specialized oilfield vehicles		6,361,812		12,338
Service income from automation solutions		271,462		1,442,233
Others		593,589		282,236
Net revenues	$	21,146,463	$	8,130,212

Contract Balances

Timing of revenue recognition was once the Company has determined that the customer has obtained control over the product. Accounts receivable represent revenues recognized for the amounts invoiced and/or prior to invoicing when the Company has satisfied its performance obligation and has an unconditional right to the payment.

Deferred revenue primarily represents the Company’s obligation to transfer additional goods or services to a customer for which the Company has received consideration. The consideration received remains a contractual liability until goods or services have been provided to the customer. The amount of revenue recognized during the years ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 that was previously included in the deferred revenue as of June 30, 2022 and 2021 was $98,386 and $6,167, respectively.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Expressed in U.S. dollars, except for number of shares)

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

(o) Cost of revenues

Cost of revenues mainly consists of manufacturing and purchase cost of raw materials, depreciation, maintenance, and other overhead expenses.

(p) Selling and marketing expenses

Selling and marketing expenses mainly consist of commission. Selling and marketing expenses are expensed as incurred.

(q) General and administrative expenses

General and administrative expenses mainly consist of (i) salaries and welfare expenses, (ii) allowance for doubtful accounts and (iii) professional fees.

(r) Research and development expenses

The Company’s research and development (“R&D”) expenses primarily consist of (i) materials in relation to testing materials; and (ii) design and development expenses, which primarily include fees payable to third-party suppliers for designing and testing. The research and development expenses are mainly driven by the stage and scale of our equipment development. The Company follows the guidance in FASB ASC 730-10.

(s) Employee benefits

The Company’s subsidiaries incorporated in the PRC participate in a government mandated, multiemployer, defined contribution plan, pursuant to which certain retirement, medical, housing, and other welfare benefits are provided to employees. PRC labor laws require the entities incorporated in the PRC to pay to the local labor bureau a monthly contribution calculated at a stated contribution rate on the monthly basic compensation of qualified employees. The Company has no further commitments beyond its monthly contribution. Employee social benefits included in the accompanying consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income amounted to $52,093 and $103,570 for the years ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

(t) Government subsidies

The Company’s PRC based subsidiaries received government subsidies from certain local governments. The Company’s government subsidies are the subsidies that the local government has not specified its purpose for and are not tied to future trends or performance of the Company, receipt of such subsidy income is not contingent upon any further actions or performance of the Company and the amounts do not have to be refunded under any circumstances.

Government subsidies are recognized as other income upon receipt as further performance by the Company is not required.

(u) 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 income 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.

Uncertain tax positions

The guidance on accounting for uncertainties in income taxes prescribes a more likely than not threshold for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Guidance was also provided on derecognition of income tax assets and liabilities, classification of current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities, accounting for interest and penalties associated with tax positions, accounting for income taxes in interim periods, and income tax disclosures. The Company recognizes interests and penalties, if any, under accrued expenses and other current liabilities on its consolidated balance sheets and under other expenses in its consolidated statements of comprehensive income. The Company did not recognize any significant interest and penalties associated with uncertain tax positions for the years ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. As of June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company did not have any significant unrecognized uncertain tax positions.

(v) Value added tax (“VAT”)

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

(x) Segments

In accordance with ASC 280-10, Segment Reporting, the Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), identified as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, relies upon the consolidated results of operations as a whole when making decisions about allocating resources and assessing the performance of the Company. As a result of the assessment made by CODM, the Company has only one reportable segment. The Company does not distinguish between markets or segments for the purpose of internal reporting.

As the Company’s long-lived assets are substantially all located in the PRC and all of the Company’s revenues and expenses are derived from within the PRC, no geographical segments are presented.

(y) Operating lease

The Company adopted the new lease accounting standard, ASC Topic 842, Leases (“ASC 842”) as of July 1, 2021, using the non-comparative transition option pursuant to ASU 2018-11. The Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard, which among other things (i) allowed the Company to carry forward the historical lease classification; (ii) did not require the Company to reassess whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases and (iii) did not require the Company to reassess initial direct costs for any existing leases. Therefore, the Company did not consider its existing land use right that was not previously accounted for as leases under Topic 840. For all operating leases except for short-term leases, the Company recognized operating right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less were short-term leases and not recognized as right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets.

Right-of-use assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of the remaining future minimum lease payments. As the interest rate implicit in the Company’s leases is not readily determinable, the Company utilizes its incremental borrowing rate, determined by class of underlying asset, to discount the lease payments. The operating lease right-of-use assets also include lease payments made before commencement and exclude lease incentives. Some of the Company’s lease agreements contained renewal options; however, the Company did not recognize right-of-use assets or lease liabilities for renewal periods unless it was determined that the Company was reasonably certain of renewing the lease at inception or when a triggering event occurred. The Company’s lease agreements did not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.

(z) Commitments and contingencies

In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to contingencies, such as legal proceedings and claims arising out of its business, that cover a wide range of matters. Liabilities for the contingencies are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be reasonably estimated.

Certain conditions may exist as of the date the consolidated financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company, but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company assesses these contingent liabilities, which inherently involves judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company or unasserted claims that may result in legal proceedings, the Company, in consultation with its legal counsel, evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein. If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, the estimated liability would be accrued in the consolidated financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potentially material loss contingency is not probable, or is probable but cannot be estimated, the nature of the contingent liability, together with an estimate of the range of the reasonably possible loss, if determinable and material, would be disclosed.

Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the nature of the guarantee would be disclosed.

(aa) Recently issued accounting standards pronouncements

The Company is an “emerging growth company” (“EGC”) as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”). Under the JOBS Act, EGC can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards issued subsequent to the enactment of the JOBS Act until such time as those standards apply to private companies.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses”, which will require the measurement of all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Subsequently, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-19, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, to clarify that receivables arising from operating leases are within the scope of lease accounting standards. Further, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-04, ASU 2019-05, ASU 2019-10, ASU 2019-11 and ASU 2020-02 to provide additional guidance on the credit losses standard. For all other entities, the amendments for ASU 2016-13 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. Adoption of the ASUs is on a modified retrospective basis. The Company does not expect to early adopt this guidance and expects the adoption of this guidance does not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

Other accounting standards that have been issued by FASB that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements upon adoption. The Company does not discuss recent standards that are not anticipated to have an impact on or are unrelated to its consolidated financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or disclosures.

NOTE 3 – DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

Qianlimu (Shiyan) Technology Co., Ltd. (“Qianlimu Shiyan”) was established on June 22, 2020 by Qianlimu (Changzhou) Technology Co., Ltd. (“Qianlimu Changzhou”), a subsidiary of the Company until February 2021. In November 2020, the Company acquired 100% of the voting equity interest in Qianlimu Shiyan from Qianlimu Changzhou. Qianlimu Shiyan mainly focuses on providing technical service on research and development in intelligent systems.

On September 8, 2021 (the “Transfer Date”), the Company entered into a share purchase agreement with Changzhou Xinmu Artificial Intelligence Technology Partnership (Limited Partnership) and Mr. Chuanbo Jiang, the CEO, director and a shareholder of the Company, to transfer the total equity of Qianlimu Shiyan at a nominal consideration of RMB0 due to the net liability position of Qianlimu Shiyan. As of the Transfer Date, the transfer was accounted for as a capital transaction.

As the business of Qianlimu Shiyan represents a separate major line of business of the Company as of the held-for-sale date, which is in September 2021, the disposition was considered as a strategic shift that had a major effect on operations and financial results of the Company.

The Company’s Hong Kong subsidiary did not have assessable profits that were derived in Hong Kong for the years ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. Therefore, no Hong Kong profit tax has been provided for the years ended June 30, 2023 and 2022.

NOTE 10 - TAXATION (CONTINUED)

The current PRC EIT Law imposes a 10% withholding income tax for dividends distributed by foreign invested enterprises to their immediate holding companies outside the PRC. A lower withholding tax rate will be applied if there is a tax treaty arrangement between the PRC and the jurisdiction of the foreign holding company. Distributions to holding companies in Hong Kong that satisfy certain requirements specified by the PRC tax authorities, for example, will be subject to a 5% withholding tax rate.

As of June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company had not recorded any withholding tax on the retained earnings of its foreign invested enterprises in the PRC, since the Company intends to reinvest its earnings to further expand its business in the PRC, and its foreign invested enterprises do not intend to declare dividends to their immediate foreign holding companies.

As of June 30, 2023 and 2022, there was no tax effect of temporary difference under ASC Topic 740 “Accounting for Income Taxes” that gives rise to deferred tax asset and liability. As of June 30, 2023 and 2022, there was no net operating loss carried forward.

Uncertain tax positions

The Company evaluates each uncertain tax position (including the potential application of interest and penalties) based on the technical merits, and measures the unrecognized benefits associated with the tax positions. As of June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company did not have any significant unrecognized uncertain tax positions or any unrecognized liabilities, interest or penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits. The Company does not believe that its uncertain tax benefits position will materially change over the next twelve months.

NOTE 11 - LEASES

As of July 1, 2021, the Company adopted the provisions of ASC Topic 842 using the modified retrospective method. The Company leases offices and facility space under non-cancellable operating leases. The Company considers those renewal or termination options that are reasonably certain to be exercised in the determination of the lease term and initial measurement of right of use assets and lease liabilities. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheets.

The Company determines whether a contract is or contains a lease at inception of the contract and whether that lease meets the classification criteria of a finance or operating lease.

The Company’s lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.

A summary of lease cost recognized in the Company’s consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income is as follows:

	For the Years Ended June 30,

Statutory reserve and restricted net assets

A significant portion of the Company’s operations are conducted through its PRC subsidiaries, the Company’s ability to pay dividends is primarily dependent on receiving distributions of funds from subsidiaries. Relevant PRC statutory laws and regulations permit payments of dividends by the subsidiaries only out of their retained earnings, if any, as determined in accordance with PRC accounting standards and regulations, and after it has met the PRC requirements for appropriation to statutory reserve. The Company is required to make appropriations to certain reserve funds, comprising the statutory surplus reserve and the discretionary surplus reserve, based on after-tax net income determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles of the PRC (“PRC GAAP”). Appropriations to the statutory surplus reserve are required to be at least 10% of the after-tax net income determined in accordance with PRC GAAP until the reserve is equal to 50% of the entity’s registered capital. Appropriations to the surplus reserve are made at the discretion of the shareholders. Paid-in capital of the subsidiaries included in the Company’s consolidated net assets are also non-distributable for dividend purposes.

As a result of these PRC laws and regulations, the Company’s PRC subsidiaries are restricted in their ability to transfer a portion of their net assets to the Company. As of June 30, 2023 and 2022, net assets restricted in the aggregate, which include paid-in capital and statutory reserve funds of the Company’s subsidiaries, that are included in the consolidated net assets were $4,635,441 and $628,399 as of June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

NOTE 17 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Short-term bank borrowings

From July 2023 to January 2024, the Company obtained several bank borrowings with a total amount of $2.3 million, at annual interest rates varying from 3.80% to 15.84%, which will mature within one or two years. Bank borrowings of $0.6 million was pledged by the Company’s three patents.

Subsequent Reorganization

In September 2023, WFOE entered into a share transfer agreement with YLAN’s former shareholders to acquire 100% voting equity interests of YLAN at the consideration of $0.7 million (RMB5.2 million) (the “Consideration”). The Consideration was lent to STAK HK by YLAN’s former shareholders, and invested in WFOE, which then acquired YLAN from YLAN’s former shareholders by paying the Consideration in full. In conjunction with the acquisition of YLAN, YLAN’s former shareholders waived their loans to STAK HK. The transaction has been treated as a corporate restructuring of entities under common control as part of the Reorganization process.

The Company has performed an evaluation of subsequent events through January 18, 2024, which was the date of the issuance of the consolidated financial statements, except for the events mentioned above, and determined that no events would have material impacts on the consolidated financial statements.

Part II — Information Not Required in the Prospectus

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

Cayman Islands law does not limit the extent to which a company’s articles of association may provide indemnification of officers and directors, except to the extent any such provision may be held by the Cayman Islands courts to be contrary to the public interest, such as providing indemnification against civil fraud or the consequences of committing a crime. , or against the indemnified person’s own fraud or dishonesty. Our Articles provide to the extent permitted by Cayman Islands 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) 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 our business or affairs or in the execution or discharge of the existing or former director (including alternate director), secretary’s or officer’s duties, powers, authorities or discretions; and

	(b)	without limitation to paragraph (a) above, 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 us or our affairs in any court or tribunal, whether in the Cayman Islands or elsewhere.

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.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling us under 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 9. Undertakings

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

	(a)	to provide to the underwriter at the closing specified in the underwriting agreements, certificates in such denominations and registered in such names as required by the underwriter to permit prompt delivery to each purchaser;

	(b)	insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the 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 of whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue;

	(c)	for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, 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; and

	(d)	for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, 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.
